Hakael asked "what's happened" when sees The Roaming Eye has been parked outside, and the five Rubies are trapped in water bubbles by Lapis Lazuli.

"They showed up on their little ship acting very angry. So I put them in time-out." Lapis said.

Steven asked rubies why they're all coming to here. The Rubies said they are here to find Jasper again after went to Neptune.

"Wait, Who are you? I haven't seen any gem like you before." One of Ruby squad said.

Hakael's eyes pupils getting wider for a second, "Oh, I am Heliodor. I guess." Hakael said. "So, if you want Jasper so much, Here she is."

Synthetic gem glowing brightly before Jasper teleport to the front of Hakael.

# Uploading in progress

Jasper stays still.

"How did you came here?!" Lapis said.

"That's kinda hard to say. For short, Science." Hakael said instead.

# Upload succeed

"Lapis, Release them," Jasper said.

Lapis makes uncompromised look before removing her bubbles.

The Rubies run toward Jasper lively, they talk something to her.

After a long conversation, the Ruby said to the Crystal Gems, "Get into the ship! NOW!"

Everyone except Lapis and Peridot gets into the ship and sit at the corner. Jasper controls the main console and Rubies control the other rest.

"Rubies, make a line." Jasper directed.

Rubies follow quickly, waiting for a further command.

Jasper makes a simple gesture to Hakael. Hakael notices, He crystallized his hand to weld with the ship's floor, before weld the other subtlety.

"Report the situation in Homeworld, now," Jasper commanded. The Ruby tell something about Jasper is missing, The cluster project, and unimportant stuff which Hakael doesn't care.

Hakael grabs one of his bombs, He crystallized it before throws it.

The bomb hits the button, The hatches open. Rubies getting vacuumed off except the one Ruby that still hanging on the edge.

"Jasper! Help!" The Ruby screamed in fear.

The synth-gem change into the blue color, Hakael summons The Limbo and throws to The Ruby. The spear hits, The Ruby lose the grip and get vacuumed out.

Jasper closes the hatches and everything back to normal. Everyone goes back to Earth, Lapis tried to talks with Jasper, but she got teleport away. Lapis makes murderous looks at Hakael.

"What did you had done to her?" Lapis said.

Hakael slightly bends toward her and whispered something, before turn away and back to the house.

Lapis kneel, shake in fear, "No way..." She said.

"What did Hakael said?" Steven asked.

"Nothing... I meant... Ugh." Lapis said and fly away.

"Should we asked Hakael about this," Steven said.

"There's only Phobos to give us an answer," Garnet said. "And she won't."

# The next day.

"How many we have here?" Hakael questioned.

"We have twenty, my uhhhhh," Jasper said.

"Call me Night stalker, call she Precursor. Don't need anything following that name."

"Right, my Night stalker. We have twenty of them, but I think that ocean-blue one will suit you."

"Open the cage, Peridot," Hakael asked.

"Are you sure?" Peridot asked.

"How can we sure she is still loyal? I mean Jasper." Pearl asked.

"Don't worry, if she betrays, Limbo will be in handy," Hakael answered.

"I think we shouldn't do this," Steven said.

"Don't worry, Everyone behind me, Amethyst prepared your whip, no lethal allow."

Peridot uses power to pull gate out. The corrupted gem comes out, face-to-face with Hakael.

Hakael walks toward slowly, trying to pet, It allows in friendly. Hakael rides it, his eyes and the corrupted gem's eyes glowing gold.

"I will call you Karak," Hakael said before jumping off.

"Now, back to your cage, be a good girl."

The gem walks back to the cage.

"Don't put gates on her from now on, understand?"

"Yes, my lord." Jasper nodded.

Hakael sigh.

"How can you do that?" Peridot questioned.

"The corrupted mind of corrupted gem's full by fear, It's easy to do it." Phobos appeared.

"Well, we have nothing to do now. Jasper, don't lose your potential." Hakael said while walking back.

# At beach house

Amethyst and Steven fusion into Smokey Quartz, show off her power. Garnet and Pearl fuse to Sardonyx, to let open the room, and Everyone goes inside.

The room is like a talk show studio, Everyone sit on their seat.

"Goooood evening, everybody!" Sardonyx opened the *show.*

"We have a brand-new fusion and new partner with us tonight! I'm so excited, I could just shatter!"

After a long talk, Sardonyx tries to find some new powers from them.

" We have a new segment for you all tonight. That's right, everyone; it's time to Hit. That. Bird!"

A large mountain-shaped prop appears with spring-loaded bird targets on it.

Smokey Quartz use aims and shoots, missing every shot; the alarm clock goes off.

"Uh-oh! Time's up! Let's see. The score tallies to...Uh-oh! Time's up! Let's see. The score tallies to... one, two, three... zero.

Next, the power test, She fails, the elements breath, She fails.

Sardonyx just realizes that Steven and Amethyst were planning their main act all morning and that their intent was to impress Garnet and Pearl rather than explore their new powers. Feeling very terrible for unintentionally "stealing the show," Sardonyx unfuses into Pearl and Garnet. However, because Sardonyx does not exist anymore, the room starts to collapse. Garnet and Pearl reach out to try and fuse again to stop the crumbling, but they are both too far away. Smoky Quartz saves Garnet and Pearl by utilizing their

yo-yo.

'Use the fear, Hakael.' Phobos said.

The synth-gem glowing, Hakael place his left hand on the chest. Karak coming out of synth-gem. Hakael jumps on and ride, Both of they eyes glowing gold, they jump out of the room, follow by others.

After landing, Karak fades away.

'Good job, Hakael.' Phobos said.

"Thanks."

# Next few days

This day is a training day for Connie and Steven, but Connie has something in mind.

"Now give the phone to me," Garnet said.

Garnet, Steven, Connie, and Hakael sit on the beach.

"For a fusion to work, there needs to be balanced. An imbalance can cause your fusion to lose touch with reality, see things that aren't there, and eventually fall apart. That is to say if one of you is falling apart, your fusion will as well. To find balance, you must understand your feelings. To understand your feelings, you must see them clearly without running from them" Garnet said.

"See them clearly?" Connie asked.

"I'll show you, but first, we need Stevonnie."

Steven and Connie fuse into Stevonnie. Garnet gestures them into a meditating position.

"You too, Hakael."

'I think you shouldn't.' Phobos suggested.

Hakael ignores and sits in meditating position.

'I did warn you.'

Everyone enters a realm, and Garnet begins to sing.

Eventually, The butterflies fly away peacefully from Steven and Connie. Ruby and Sapphire join them and lay down to watch the butterflies flutter. Hakael still sitting, take a deep breath and look at the butterfly in fear. Butterflies fuse into a very big one and show the picture of a kid running in fear while a man chasing him.

All of them look at butterfly which flies toward Hakael. It the picture of A hooded man kills a man with the weapon, it changes the picture again and again, but the same thing in the picture is hooded man kill a person.

"Wait! It shouldn't be like this!" Sapphire said.

"No, It's my chance." Hakael stand summons Limbo and throws to butterfly. The big butterfly got hit, it falls, before change into some wounded hooded-man and point at Hakael, before shatter away.

"Hakael, Who are they?" Steven asked.

"Steven, I won't say it wasn't me nor I won't kill other people again." Hakael said while standing, "They're my ancestors past before I born."

"How can they do that!? It's terrible!"

"Why don't you ask Garnet, Why they shattered other gems before? We work in dark to serve the light, Steven. We can't end with negotiations, our goals are too different. I promise killing is the last way, for The Brotherhood."

Hakael fades out of the realm, somehow.

Hakael gets in the house, see Pearl sit on a couch.

"Where is everyone else?" Pearl questioned.

Hakael sits on the couch and explain.

"Wow, So, Hmmm, Uhhhh...

"If you can't think to say, just stop."

Steven, Connie, and Garnet walk into the house.

"Hakael..." Steven said.

"Whatever they say about me, it's probably true. Why not just run with that and leave me alone. Haven't you heard? I'm a monster? Driven by greed and bloodlust. That's all anyone really wants these days anyway, isn't it?" Hakael said.

"No! I mean...

Hakael gestures in stop, Steven follows.

"I knew it, Steven. I already knew killing is wrong. And I knew when you kill someone, You end more than a life, you end that person's possibilities too. I don't need you to cheer me up, I need you to understand me. Can you do that?"

Steven makes a hard nod.

"Thank you, That's kind of you."

At night, When everyone's sleeping.

'I already told you, How did you felt, huh?' Phobos said.

"Bad. Terribly bad." Hakael said.

'Good, Now choose it.'

"Hakael! Finally, you're awake." Steven said.

"What? What's happen?" Hakael looks around.

"You sleep when Garnet trying to fix Connie's problem. And we don't see you and think you're back to the house and when we finish we see you sleeping." Steven explained.

"Oh, That's because it's very boring, surely." Hakael stand.

At night.

"Phobos, Is that you?" Hakael asked.

'Obviously, Yes and No.' Phobos said. 'Don't you think I will do it every time, Only when necessary.

"I understand."

"Let's sleep, you have to train Connie tomorrow."

"Good night."
