"So let me get this story straight in my head." Last says looking at his face in a mirror then turning away from it.

"I'm some guy called Last," Last said pointing a finger at himself. "Your my girlfriend or something along those lines?" Last pointed at Lapis who nodded.

"And your my perverted sister?" Last said pointing at Pearl who fained being hurt by the statement but nodded.

Then turning to Stevonnie, Garnet, and Amethyst. "Then where do you people fit into this story?"

"We are of a species of ancient..." Garnet was cut off in the middle of her explanation.

"No, not what your species is, I know that much about you, it pours off you and the purple one, what I want to know is who you are to me."

Last then turned for a moment towards Stevonnie as his eyes flashed white. "Your more interesting however, you appear to only be about 25% gem, the rest is a species I don't know, to top it off it looks like you have two souls in you." Last's eyes then reverted to their normal blue color.

"That would be my part." The Connie half of Stevonnie said. "You see I'm human, Steven, the person I'm fused with, makes up the other half. He's only half human."

This surprised Last as he walked up to Stevonnie for an uncomfortably close inspection. "I know your not lying but..." Last hesitated for a moment as he looked into the fusion's eyes for something. "I didn't make the first gems able to reproduce sexually, they could use various methods to form new gems, but your simply impossible."

Backing away to get a more complete view he turned to Lapis. "How long has it been since the fist sunrise?"

Lapis thought the question odd but answered. "14 billion or so years ago, why?"

The number put an expression of both shock and confusion on Last's face as he seemed to begin to panic.

"14 BILLION YEARS?! The last thing I remember before waking to the sound of you crying is the sensation of being torn apart by the start of all. I can't have lost so much time..."

Last turned back to Stevonnie and bolted over to her, holding her by the neck and picking her up.

"Where did it go! I saw the knowledge behind your eyes, that is MY knowledge! Where did you take my memories?!" Last's grip tightened as everyone attempted to stop him from strangling the life from Stevonnie.

"Last...resort..." Stevonnie managed to say before she fell apart and both Steven and Connie burst apart gasping for breath.

Last frooze as Garnet attempted to knock him out with gautlet to the face. Last stopped the punch a quarter of an inch from his face, he blinked.

"You went through the door... and I gave you all that I could..." Last looked down at both Steven and Connie as he fell to his knees. "I can't remember why I did it, but their all screaming at me that it's true..."

"Last..." Lapis knelt down next to him. "Who's screaming?"

Last's expression went blank as his hands seemed to move on their own. They moved Last's shirt to show his gem, a single finger tapped on the gem and its color went from clear to blood red. "The people inside of me..." Last doubled over as he began to cry and cover his ears. "Too many voices, too many people, too much pain, too...much...screami..." Last went sillent as he seemed to lose consciousness and his body went limp.

*Several minutes later*

"Well, he's not dead. That you should be thankful for." The elven house owner said after he walked in on all the commotion. Picking Last up and putting him back onto the bed he put his hands to Last's chest and a something green seemed to come from his hands.

"Why is it that whenever you come here, you need medical ninjutsu performed on you?" The elf said the unconcious Last (I have no spell-check leave me alone).

"What's wrong with him? Besides the fact that he's passed out in my house?" The elf said without looking away from his work.

"He throw all of his memories away, attacked Steven and Connie because he couldn't recall he gave them all of his knowledge, and he apparently has a philosophers stone for his gem." Lapis explained in a completly monotone voice, almost to the point where you assume she just flat out shut off her emotions.

The elves face darkens as he stops healing Last to remove Last's shirt and inspect the stone. The size of Last's stone made his eyes go wide. "It's massive, most stones never even get to be the size of a twig. This must be the size of an actual heart..." The elf touched a finger to the gem/stone (I'm gonna call it a gem for simplicity.) and after a moment he ripped it away.

"There's just no end to them... There must be at least a planets worth of life in there, it's an endless ocean of screaming voices." Backing away and turning around to head towards the door, he stopped next to Lapis. "I can't heal what the burden he is under, and I don't expect he'll ever wake up from the Hell inside that stone." Giving her a comforting hug, Lapis began to cry. "I'm truly sorry..."

"You did what you could Alfie." Lapis said. Alfie let go and walked out the room shuting the door behind himself.

"What do we do! We have to do something!" Connie and Steven both shouted. Garnet walked over and hugged them.

"I don't think we can Steven." Garnet said in a sad tone.

"He'll find a way..." Lapis said. "He's lived with that stone for who knows how long. He's survived it once, he'll do it again." Lapis walked to the door. "We're leaving, all of us."

It was at that moment that Last's body lifted from the bed and floated up to Lapis where it stopped.

"He searched for an eternity for me. The least I can do is take care of him while he is like this." Lapis said as gravity retook Last's body and he dropped into Lapis's arms.

"Now let's go home..."

(Three years later)

It's been three years since Alfheim and Last has yet to wake up. No one has been willing to say it but everyone has thought it, that Last may actually never wake up.

On a much better note, the world has stablized over the last three years from the revival of magic. New laws to restrict the use of forbidden magic, new countries built for magic users only, the works.

Connie has long since taken up train with Pearl on swordsmanship. Seeing as they discovered about a day after they returned that Connie's body was now partially made of a Philosophers Stone, Connie has been able to go on missions regularly. When they didn't conflict with her studies or spending time with her family.

The robitic spheres continued to fall until the events of Warp Tour came to pass.

Blah, Blah, Blah. On with the story! Next chapter.
