A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter eleven of this story. Here, the trio of humans attempt to save the gems.
Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe
The trio of humans where ready to go. They had to save the gems, but had another issue. That was escaping their ship without being caught by the gems guarding it.
"How many are there?" asked Steven.
Connie carefully counted.
"Five." answered Connie.
"We need a distraction." stated Lars.
"How?" asked Connie.
The three thought.
"I've got it!" declared Lars.
Lars pulled a quarter out of his pocket.
"That'll work." noted Steven.
Lars knelt down and aimed away from the entrance.
"Gotta be careful." thought Lars.
Lars took the quarter and shot it like a marble. The coin landed with a thud and rolled before falling.
"What was that?" asked one of the guards.
The gems surrounded the quarter.
"What's that?" asked one of the guards confused.
"Let's go." whispered Steven.
The trio left. Steven went first holding the sword, Lars was next and finally Connie with her shield. The three managed to swiftly run off.
"What was that?" asked a familiar voice.
The Agate from earlier came over. It was a Holly Blue Agate, but her gem was on her right cheek.
"Ma'am, we've spotted this strange object." reported one of the guards.
The guards stepped aside allowing the Agate to view the quarter.
"Whatever this is, it isn't important! Back to work!" demanded the Agate.
The guards returned to their positions while the trio of humans watching from a nearby room.
"Let's go." whispered Steven.
Meanwhile, the gems had split up and where hiding. Our Ruby, Sapphire, the gems that made up Fluorite and Rutile got separated. The group was chased by Emerald with her de-stabilizer. The group managed to find a building and sneak in. They stayed quiet and waited with baited breath as Emerald passed by. Emerald walked by and the group let out a sigh of relief.
"That was close." sighed our Ruby.
"We should be safe here for now." answered Sapphire.
The gems that made up Fluorite talked among themselves.
"If you say so, we'll stay here." said the gems.
"But, we can't stay here forever." noted Right Rutile.
"We just need to wait until we know where safe." said Left Rutile.
"How long will we have to wait?" asked our Ruby.
Sapphire used her Future Vision.
"For the foreseeable future." answered Sapphire.
"How will we know when to go?" asked Left Rutile.
Sapphire used her Future Vision again.
"The most likely solution is we're be found." answered Sapphire.
"By the others?" asked Right Rutile.
"Yes." answered Sapphire.
The gems let out a sigh of relief.
"Will we really be free on earth?" asked Right Rutile.
"Free of the Diamonds." added Left Rutile.
"There's no Diamonds or caste system." answered Sapphire.
"We're free to be whatever..." began our Ruby.
Ruby looked over at Sapphire.
"Or whoever." said our Ruby.
Sapphire chuckled.
"Ruby." chuckled Sapphire.
Ruby chuckled herself.
"My Laughy Sapphy." said our Ruby.
"You're embarrassing me." replied Sapphire blushing.
"You're cute when you blush." said our Ruby.
"Stop it." giggled Sapphire.
Ruby began kissing Sapphire on the neck.
"Um, we hate to interrupt." said Left Rutile.
"But, we have to focus." noted Right Rutile.
Ruby and Sapphire blushed in embarrassment.
"We just need to wait for now." said Sapphire.
The gems that made up Fluorite talked among themselves.
"We can wait." said the gems that made up Fluorite.
"So, what do we do not?" asked Right Rutile.
"How do we pass the time?" asked Left Rutile.
The gems all shared glances.
"If only we brought a deck of cards." sighed our Ruby.
The gems that made up Fluorite shared a glance.
"What's cards?" asked the gems.
"Quiet." said Sapphire.
The groups quieted down.
"Sapphire, what's wrong?" asked Ruby in a whisper.
The group suddenly heard a pair of footsteps.
"I don't see anything." said a voice.
"Neither do I." said a second voice.
"Let's keep looking." said the first voice.
"Yeah." agreed the second voice.
The group heard the two gems walk away.
"That was close." sighed Left Rutile.
"Thanks for the warning." said Right Rutile.
"Let's hunker down." said Sapphire.
Meanwhile, the other group of gems stayed hidden in the same location. Pearl, Amethyst, the two gems that made up Rhodonite and Padaradscha didn't move. They waited for the trio of humans to find them. Luckily, they where not being bothered by other gems who walked by without seeing them.
"How much longer will we have to wait?" asked the Pearl that made up Rhodonite.
"I don't know." answered our Pearl.
"Just stay calm." said the Ruby that made up Rhodonite.
"But, if we stay here we'll be caught." said the other Pearl.
"Pearl..." began the Ruby that made up Rhodonite.
"We don't know where the others are." continued the other Pearl.
"Pearl..." stated the other Ruby.
"They might have been shattered!" cried the other Pearl.
"Calm down!" snapped the other Ruby.
"Ruby..." said the other Pearl softly.
"Panicking won't help." noted the other Ruby.
"Yeah, you're right." agreed Pearl.
"Good." whispered the other Ruby.
The two shared a kiss.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." said Amethyst calmly.
"Steven and Connie are well trained and can handle themselves." added Pearl.
"That's good." sighed the other Pearl.
"It's only a matter of time before they arrive." said the other Ruby.
"The rebel gems will assure us their allies can handle themselves." said Padparadscha.
"I wonder how much longer it'll take." pondered Amethyst.
"It won't be too long, will it?" asked the other Pearl worried.
"I'm sure it won't be." answered the other Ruby.
Amethyst scratched her cheek.
"If they find us." muttered Amethyst.
The other Pearl began shaking as the other Ruby hugged her to keep her calm.
"The Pearl that compromises Rhodonite will be worried as the Ruby that compromises Rhodonite will try to comfort her." said Padparadscha.
The group suddenly heard footsteps and all went quiet.
"Pearl. Amethyst." whispered Steven.
"Steven, we're over here." replied Amethyst.
Steven, Connie and Lars arrived.
"Who are these?" asked the other Pearl worried.
Amethyst and our Pearl walked over to the trio.
"Oh thanks stars you're okay." sighed Pearl in relief.
"How'd ya find us?" asked Amethyst.
"I got a view of the background when I was in your body and was able to identify the area." explained Steven.
"The humans are going to arrive!" declared Padparadscha.
Steven, Connie and Lars gave her a confused look.
"We should introduce ourselves." noted the other Ruby.
"I am Pearl and this is Ruby." began the other Pearl.
"Together we form Rhodonite." revealed the other Ruby.
The waited for Padparadscha who stayed quiet.
"This is..." began the other Pearl.
"I am Padparadscha." said Padparadscha.
"Her visions are a bit delayed." whispered the other Ruby.
The others nodded.
"Well, I'm glad we found you." said Steven.
"And that you're okay." added Connie.
"Do you know where the others are?" asked Lars.
Amethyst and Pearl shook their head.
"I'm afraid not." answered Pearl.
The group heard footsteps approaching.
"Hide." said Pearl worried.
Amethyst transformed into the size of other Amethyst while the trio of humans hide.
"Please be the others." whispered Pearl worried.
Unfortunately, the footsteps came from a Homeworld Amethyst who arrived.
"What are you doing here?" asked the Homeworld Amethyst.
"We got lost." said the other Pearl worried.
"Be careful." whispered the other Ruby.
The other Ruby grabbed the other Pearl's hand and they began glowing.
"Huh?" asked the Homeworld Amethyst.
Our Amethyst bumped into the two to prevent them from forming Rhodonite.
"If you hold hands you will form Rhodonite." noted Padparadscha.
"We are here with my Sapphire, but I am afraid we got separated." said our Pearl.
The Homeworld Amethyst gave them a curious look.
"Please buy it." thought Steven.
The Homeworld Amethyst turned her attention to our Amethyst.
"Do you belong to the same Sapphire?" asked the Homeworld Amethyst.
"Yes." answered our Amethyst firmly.
"Who is your Diamond?" asked the Homeworld Amethyst.
Steven felt his heart skip a beat.
"I'm from Earth so I belonged to Pink Diamond." said our Amethyst.
"The Amethyst from Earth where sent to the Human Zoo." noted the Homeworld Amethyst skeptically.
The Homeworld Amethyst pulled out her whip.
"Who are you?!" asked the Amethyst furiously.
"The jig's up." said Connie.
The Amethyst cracked her whip, but Pearl pulled out her spear. Pearl held her spear sideways and the whip wrapped around it.
"What?" asked the Homeworld Amethyst confused.
Our Amethyst returned to her normal size and hit the Homeworld Amethyst with a spin dash knocking her backwards.
"Oh." groaned the Homeworld Amethyst.
Steven ran forward and cut the Homeworld Amethyst with his sword poofing her.
"Come on!" cried Pearl.
Meanwhile, Emerald was on the hunt. She was stalking around looking for her prey with de-stabilizer in hand. She walked around looking for any sign of her targets. As she walked menacingly, an Amethyst spotted her. The Amethyst ran up to Emerald and managed to stop her. Emerald froze and gave the Amethyst a death glare.
"Ma'am, are you the one looking for the traitors?" asked the Amethyst.
"Yes." answered Emerald coldly.
"i know where they are." said the Amethyst.
"Led me to them." demanded the Emerald.
The Amethyst led Emerald to the spot where she encountered the others. Of course, they where gone.
"This is where I met them." said the Amethyst.
"They aren't here now." noted Emerald.
"They attacked me and I was poofed. I just regenerated." said the Amethyst.
"So...you failed to capture the traitors." mused Emerald.
"I was outnumbered." said the Amethyst worried.
The Emerald squinted her eyes.
"No excuse." stated Emerald.
The Amethyst gulped.
"You failed your Diamond." said Emerald cold.
"But..." began the Amethyst.
The Emerald hit the Amethyst with her de-stabilizer poofing her again.
"How weak." said Emerald.
Emerald put her foot on the Amethyst's gemstone and began adding pressure.
"I could shatter you and the Diamonds wouldn't care." said Emerald.
Luckily, a Snowflake came by.
"Ma'am, we might have found some." said the Snowflake.
Emerald took her foot of the Amethyst's gemstone.
"Oh, have you?" asked Emerald.
"My partner and I heard voices while searching so we decided to get you before going in." explained the Snowflake.
"Good. Let's go." said Emerald.
A/N: That is where we'll end things now. So, our humans have met some of the group while the others might in trouble. Next time, we reach the climax of our adventure on Homeworld. Please review.
