Chapter 10: Prisoners on a Spaceship part 2.

Inside the Gem Warship.

Lupin...Lupin!...Lupin!... Pearl voice said in his head.

(Lupin slowly opening his eye's and wakes up, in his cell with Pearl.)

oooh..My head. Lupin said.

Lupin, your wake! Pearl said.

Wait!...where are we? Lupin asked Pearl.

we're are on board the Gem Warship. Pearl explainsto Lupin.

Lupin *Gasped*

Garnet and Goemon, What happened to them? Lupin asked Pearl.

Pearl didn't respond.

Pearl! What to them? Lupin said to Pearl holding her shoulders.

She's...gone... Pearl repliedto Lupin.

Lupin was silence and in shock.

Wait! I remember that my gem., it was glowing. Lupin said.

Lupin saw his gem is still with him.

Lupin looks towards the barrier.

And he walks towards the barrier.

Lupin! What are you doing? Pearl asked Lupin.

Lupin puts his hand through the barrier.

Pearl was surprised.

Lupin turned back to Pearl.

go! I can't hold it anylonger Lupin replied to Pearl.

Pearl ran outside the cell.

Lupin closed the barrier.

How did you do that? Pearl asked Lupin.

it was my gem. Lupin replied to Pearl.

Lupin and Pearl walked to free Jigen and Amethyst in their cell.

Meanwhile at other cell.

(someonesinging.Stevenwakes up in a cell and sits up.)

Amethyst? Pearl? Lupin? Jigen? Goemon? Steven said.

But no respond

(Steven remembers what happened toGarnetas a brief image ofRubyand Sapphire's gems are shown falling to the ground.)

Steven *gasps*

Garnet! Where are they? Steven said.

*gets up and runs towards theGem Destabilizerbarrier*

(Angry screaming is heard in the background.)

Woah... Steven said.

Steven *gasps* *touches barrier, then pushes a hand through*

Eww... Steven said.

*chuckles, looking at the currents running on his arm*

Cool! Steven said.

*escapes prison cell*Steven*shivers*

I'm out. Woohoo! Okay, where is everybody? Steven said.

Steven *runs*

Gotta find 'em. Gotta find 'em. Gotta find— Oh... Steven said.

*stops, noticing Ruby in a cell, moaning*

Uh... hello? Are... you okay? Steven asked the mystery gem.

Ruby was frightened and pants.

(Ruby hits the wall with her hand, causing Steven to lose his footing.)

Great! This is just perfect! Ruby said angrily.

Uh, do you need any help? Steven asked Ruby.

No!I mean— Don't look at me! Just... go away. Ruby said angrily to Steven

*turns away and curls up*

(Steven begins to walk away until Ruby stops him.)

Hey, wait! You're out! How did you get past the field? Ruby said to Steven.

Oh, I just kind of— Steven explains to Ruby.

*reaches towards barrier*

Wait! No-no-no-no-no, wait! Ruby said worried.

(Steven's hand passes through the barrier.)

It's... okay? Ruby said confused.

*reaches towards barrier and her hand gets zapped*Ruby*retracts hand and looks at it painfully*

Ah! Nugh! Ruby said in pain.

What's going on? Ruby said suspicious.

(Singing is heard.)

Ruby*looking around and gasps*

Somebody's singing... Steven asked

Ruby *whispers to self*

Sapphire. Let me out of here! Please! I need to find Sapphire! Ruby said to Steven.

Is she your friend? I'm looking for my friends, too. Steven said to Ruby.

Ruby was worriedly and rushing.

She's all alone, I need to find her! Ruby said worried to Steven.

Don't worry, we'll find our friends. Steven said to Ruby.

(Steven steps into barrier, putting his arms to the side, creating a hole in the barrier.)

And we'll do it together! Steven said stuttering.

(Ruby rushes forward then slides under Steven's arm before running.)

Wait for me! Steven said to Ruby.

[Ruby and Steven were running in a different part of the ship]

Steven *while both are running*

Hey, my name's Steven, by the way, what's yours? Steven asked Ruby.

Quiet! Ruby said.

Ugh! I can't see! Ruby said focuses.

Ruby looks around.

This way! Ruby said

Uah! Steven said.

(Ruby and Steven run down a winding hallway.)

*both still running*

How many moreGemsare trapped here? Steven said to Ruby.

Ruby was still running.

Don't know. Don't care. Ruby said impatient.

(The singing stops. Steven and Ruby stop running.)

Ruby stops.

She stopped singing. Ruby said.

Sapphire! Ruby yells.

(Steven looks out window at Earth. They start running again. They find a cell with a Gem in it.)

Ruby *gasp*

*realizes that it's Lapis, not Sapphire*

Oh, it's just you... Ruby said angrily to Lapis.

Lapis! Steven said to Lapis.

(The Gem turns around, revealing her to beLapis Lazuli. Ruby starts pacing fervently.)

Lapis, I can get you out. Steven said to Lapis

Lapis moves back.

Stop! Lapis said to Steven.

It's okay. I can— Steven said to Lapis.

No! I don't want your help. Things are bad enough as it is. I've already made too much trouble. Once we get back toHomeworld, they're going to decide what to do with us. Lapis said to Steven.

I don't have time for this! Ruby yelling.

Ruby dashes down the hallway.

Wait! Steven said to Ruby.

Steven, whatever you're doing just stop. If we do everything they say they might go easy on us. Lapis replied back to Steven.

But they're... mean! They hurt my friends, they hurt my face! They've got you here in prison! Steven explains to Lapis.

That's why we can't fight them. Lapis replied to Steven.

That's why wehaveto fight them. Steven said to Lapis.

(Lapis turns away.)

I'll come back for you... Steven said to Lapis.

(Steven runs down another hallway, Lapis rests her face on her lap.)

[Steven was still running]

(Singing starts again. Steven gasps. He hides asPeridotandJasperwalk by.)

We can't leave yet! Peridot said.

(Steven peeks around the corner at Peridot and Jasper.)

The whole point of coming here was to check onthe Cluster! Peridot said to Jasper.

(Jasper punches the wall.)

Stop singing! Jasper said to Sapphire.

Rose Quartztakes priority. Get back to the bridge and set a course for Homeworld. Jasper said to Peridot.

(Peridot turns and walks back.)

"Go to earth," they said. "It'll be easy," they said. Peridot said grumbling.

(Steven turns the corner and sees another gem in a cell. The Gem looks around, making sure it's safe, then starts singing again. Steven walks up to the cell.)

Hey, I like your song. Are you Sapphire? Steven said to Sapphire.

Goemon, your still here. Steven said.

Yes I'm, Sapphire told me everything. Goemon explains to Steven.

You escaped... Sapphire said to Steven.

(Steven reaches through barrier.)

Of course... Sapphire said.

(Steven creates a gap in the barrier.)

Come on, it's safe. Steven said shakily to Sapphire.

(Sapphire and Goemon steps through.)

Thank you, Steven. Sapphire said to Steven.

You're... welcome! Steven replied to Sapphire

Sapphire! Ruby said distantly.

SapphireCome on! Sapphire said.

(Sapphire grabs Steven's hand and runs at an incredible speed, pulling him along, Goemon ran along side them.)

Whoa! Steven said.

(They stop at a doorway, looking through a room with Ruby on the other side.)

Ruby *gasp*

Ruby! Sapphire said to Ruby

(Sapphire and Ruby run, meeting in the center of the room embracing each other.)

Did they hurt you? Ruby said to Sapphire.

No, no, I'm okay. Did they hurt you? Sapphire said to Ruby.

Who cares!? Ruby said.

*starts tearing up*

I do! Sapphire replied to Sapphire.

(Sapphire kisses Ruby's tears away. Ruby picks up Sapphire and spins her around.)

Sapphire and Ruby *laughing*

(As they spin, their laughs overlap each other and they fuse, becoming an amorphous white blob of energy that then becomes Garnet, who lands in front of Steven. The laughing switches to Garnet's voice during this scene before she lands.)

Steven! Thank you! Garnet said.

Steven *gasps*

Garnet! You're a fusion! Steven said to Garnet.

Of cures, Sapphire told me about this. Goemon said.

Aw, I'm sorry. We didn't want you meeting us here like this. Garnet said to Steven.

Well, did I make a good first impression? Steven said to Garnet.

Oh Steven. We already love you. Garnet said to Steven

*off-screen* Where is she!? Jasper said angrily.

It's Jasper. Steven, find the others and get to the control bridge.Garnet said to Steven.

But I don't know where they are. Steven replied to Garnet.

Lupin and the others gotten to control room. Goemon explains to Steven.

Wait..how did know? Steven asked Goemon.

Goemon showed Steven, a gem on his chest.

Steven was surprised.

Now go! Goemon said to Steven.

You got it! Steven said to Goemon.

(Steven nods and runs off. Jasper enters and faces Garnet.)

Oh great. You're both out? And you're fused again? Why? Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger. Quit embarrassing yourselves! Jasper said angrily to Garnet.

(While Garnet and Goemon continues to fight with Jasper, once again dodging many of Jasper's attacks. Finally, Garnet catches Jasper and throws her into the ship's main power source, causing it to explode. Steven, Peridot, Jigen Amethyst, and Pearl, Lupin are shown to be jostled by the explosion. As the ship rapidly descends towards earth, Garnet, runs down the hallway towards the control room while still singing. Peridot crawls away, hitting her head against the deck to activate anEscape Pod, which she then escapes towards Earth on. Amethyst jumps to try and stop Peridot but fails, falling flat on the ground. Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl look out the window as the ship continues its freefall. Garnet enters the control bridge.)

Garnet! They all said.

This ship is going down! Garnet said.

What about Lapis? Steven said.

Wait, she's here too? Lupin asked.

There's no time! Garnet said tothem.

(Lapis is shown looking forlorn in her cell. The ship lands on the hill where theCrystal Templeis. The ship explodes.)

Crystal Temple

(Lioncomes running down the beach and blasts the rubble, revealing Steven and theCrystal Gemsin Steven's bubble.)

Nice one. Garnet said.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're a fusion all the time! Steven said to Garnet.

You met Ruby and Sapphire?! Amethyst said to Steven.

Oh no! We were going to introduce you. Garnet, your plan! Pearl said to Garnet.

Wait, What!?! Jigen said in shock.

Garnet was a fusion. Lupin said.

Yes she is. Goemon said.

You known and you didn't telled me or Jigen. Lupin said to Goemon.

Nope. Goemon replied to Lupin

We were waiting for your birthday. Garnet said to Steven.

StevenWe can still do it! I'll just pretend I didn't know!

Amethyst *chuckles*

(A hand reaches up through the rubble. Jasper emerges from the burning wreckage of the ship.)

Ugh! Auh... Jasper said in pain.

oh come on! she's still alive. Lupin said.

*falls to her knees*

do you think that can beat that easley. Jasper said to Lupin.

Maybe, because you are in bad shape. Lupin replied to Jasper.

Don't think you've won. You only beat me 'cause you're a fusion! If I had someone to fuse with I'd— Jasper said.

(Rubble shifts.)

Huh? Jasper said.

(Lapis emerges from the rubble.)

Ugh! Lapis said in pain

(Lapis falls to her hands and knees and attempts to flee, but Jasper grabs her leg.)

Come here, brat! Aw, don't fly off so soon. Jasper said to Lapis.

Lapis! Steven shouted.

This is bad. Jigen said.

Yeah, a bad feeling. Amethyst agreed with Jigen.

(Steven tries to run over to Lapis, but Pearl and Amethyst stop him.)

Lapis, listen, fuse with me! Jasper said to Lapis.

What?! Lapis said to Jasper

How long did they keep you trapped here on this miserable hunk of rock? Jasper explainsto Lapis.

*drops Lapis*

Ugh! Lapis said.

These Gems, they're traitors to their Homeworld. They kept you prisoner. They used you. This is your chance to take revenge! Come on, just say yes. Jasper said to Lapis

Lapis, don't do it! Steven said worried to Lapis.

(Lapis offers her hand to Jasper. She smiles and grabs Lapis' hand.)

Noooooo! Steven said.

(Jasper and Lapis dance and turn into an amorphous white blob of energy.Malachite, a fusion of Lapis and Jasper, appears from the blob of energy.)

Crystal GemsAugh!

That is gross! Lupin said.

The most ugliest fusion. Goemon said.

Malachite*cackles*

(Malachite raises her arm, summoning an arm made of water from the ocean. Suddenly, the arm grabs her arm and becomes a shackle.)

Huh? Malachite said.

(Another arm emerges from the ocean and takes Malachite's other arm, also becoming a shackle.)

What? Malachite said confused.

(Water chains appear and wrap around Malachite's torso and neck.)

Ughh! Malachite said.

(The water starts dragging Malachite into the ocean.)

What are you doing?! Malachite (Jasper voice) replied.

I'm done being everyone's prisoner. Now you're my prisoner! Malachite (Lapis' voice)

(Two more water-arms grab Malachite's back legs.)

And I'm never letting you go! Malachite (Lapis' voice) said.

Ugh! Agh! Ugh ah! Malachite said.

(The arms pull Malachite into the water until only her face is visible. Malachite's face briefly splits into Lapis's and Jasper's.)

Lapis! Steven said.

Let's stay on this miserable planet... together! Malachite (Lapis' voice) said.

(Malachite disappears into the ocean.)

Yikes. They arereallybad for each other. Garnet said.

you said it. Jigen said.

maybe we will fight Malachite someday. Lupin said.

And we'll be ready! Pearl said.

Yeah! Steven said.
