"Wait so that Rose was originally part of the crystal gems?" Steven asked.

"Yes, we found her after a battle bruised and hurt so we took her in. Rose Quartz fought alongside us for quite sometime, but her powers always seemed… off."

Steven scratched his chin, "What do you mean… off?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

Pearl frowned, "She had powers that she used to hurt other gems and that often hurt us on missions, she also harbored a deep resentment for almost all life on this planet."

"So, what happened next?"

"It was then that Pink or Rose Diamond sent her troops to explore the Earth, she found us and surprisingly for a homeworld diamond was rather kind to us. While she was staying with us, Rose Quartz the originals powers went awry almost killing me but then Pink Diamond saved me with her healing tears. It was then that Garnet and I decided having Rose Quartz was not safe so we banished her by making her retreat to her gemstone and bubbling her."

Steven gave Pearl another look, "How did Pink Diamond join?"

Pearl smiled a bit, "I told you she saved my life and I was very thankful I told her I give her something in return. The diamonds of homeworld identified Pink Diamond as a traitor and wanted her dead. I came up with a plan, I lied to the diamonds announcing that Pink Diamond was dead after forcing Pink Diamond to retreat to her gem and telling her to reform herself with the appearance of Rose Quartz so the diamonds would never find her. That was a success and that was when Pink Diamond took the name Rose Quartz." Steven's eyes widened when he heard what he had been told, "I'm such a fool, why did I heal her crack."

Pearl ruffled his hair, "You're just like your mother, you see the good in everything even people like her." Pearl looked into the cavern in the mountain to see Rose inspecting the cave, "I could swear I picked up the presence of another life form in here." Her voice boomed.

Pearl pressed a hand to cover Steven's mouth as he was about to speak, "We've got to be real careful, Rose's sense of life is very strong we need to stay covered and once she leaves we need to enter the cave." Steven nodded his head and Amethyst nodded her head. Pearl glanced into the cave again Rose was beginning to leave, "Quick," she whispered "behind the mountain."Amethyst Pearl and Steven rushed into hiding as they watched Rose leave the cave. When she had the three crystal gems rushed into the cave. Pearl and Amethyst quickly disabled the gem technology while Steven explored. The cavern was huge and stalagmites were growing from the ceiling. Steven was in awe as he looked around, the cavern was gorgeous which was the opposite to the ugly kindergarden. Suddenly they heard a familiar voice, "I think I left some tech in the cave." Rose. Pearl and Amethyst tried to get Steven's attention but to no avail as they both hid behind a large rock. Rose entered the cave looking around then soon she found Steven. She gave him an ugly grin as she lifted him by the back of his shirt, before hissing, "Where are the others?"

Steven swallowed back before choking out, "I don't know." It was then that Opal appeared bow and arrow on hand. She fired toward Rose causing her to lose her grip on Steven who scrambled over to the fusion gem. Opal fired again but not before Rose had summoned her shield suddenly charging at the gems with her sword. Rose's sword grabbed the fusion causing it to split apart both gems breathing heavily. Rose attacked Pearl first, "You left me, you and the other gem. You killed me." Rose jabbed her sword forward, "Now I must kill you!"

Pearl was quick pulling her spear from her gem before defending Rose's attack. "I did for everyone's own safety, you almost killed me with your tears." Rose charged at Pearl again who kept defending. Soon Pearl found an opening with her spear and held it above Rose's neck. But Rose soon regained her dominance by ramming Pearl's spear away from her neck causing the weapon to go flying. Pearl pulled another spear and called for Amethyst who wrapped her whip around Rose. Rose's sword cut the whip and freed herself as she continued to attack Pearl. Rose gave a fierce growl as she lunged toward Pearl fiercely who flipped away from her attacker. Rose continued to pursue the crystal gem as Amethyst came in front of Pearl, "You mess with my Pearl, you mess with me!" Amethyst hissed as she summoned her whip throwing Rose's shield and sword away from her hands. Rose was quick to retrieve her sword and lunged at Pearl again as she leaped over Amethyst.

"Looks like there's no need to mess with you." Rose replied with a laugh as she patronized Amethyst, "What would an Earth grown gem know anyway?" Amethyst quickly succumbed to her self pity as Rose continued to fight Pearl. It was soon that Pearl was out of breath as Rose's sword dangled above her neck.

"I've been waiting for this for too long." Rose replied cackling as she pressed the sword the Pearl's neck prickling her skin with the blade. Pearl coughed as she felt the blade against her neck, but not before Steven jumped into the clearing.

"Steven!" Pearl wailed as she tried to free herself from Rose's grasp.

The young crystal gem ignored Pearl before skidding toward Pearl and Roses and grabbing the sword from Rose, freeing Pearl as he yowled "Stop!" and threw the sword across the cavern.
