Beach City was quite, deathly quiet, normally you would hear a bird chirp or see a raccoon scavenging around but there was nothing except the wind. The sky hadn't let up and was still overcast and the streets where littered with rubble the buildings caved in.

"What happened here?" I asked to myself

"Good question." Pearl said

"Think the temple is still standing?" I ask

"Let's find out."

We marched in silence observing the ruined structures, the big donut sign had fallen over, that fry place was rubble, and the arcade sat still without power. It looked like meteor struck the planet but even then grass would still grow again. Pearl and I stopped at the edge of the cliff staring into the distance horrified by what we saw… the ocean was missing.

"What the hell!" I yell

"Be quite, someone could still be around."

"WHO, CLEARLY WE MISSED THE PARTY!"

The ocean was gone, the occasional ship sat sunken into the ground but no fish skeletons. Pearl remembered when Lapis stole the ocean but she couldn't have caused this, she just wanted to leave not wreck the planet.

"We need to find the temple." She says worriedly

We walk around the cliff onto the beach and see the temple; it wasn't like the one she remembered. The house was gone and various military vehicles laid about with the temple been converted into a base of operations.

"I recognize this place." Adrian muttered

He ran into the building leaving Pearl behind on the beach.

"Where are you going!?"

Adrian didn't respond so she followed him into the abanded building. Surprisingly the lights were on due to the backup generators but they flickered to her annoyance. The place was a mess with cabinets scattered on the floor and most electronics smashed. One of the computers was on so she looked at it, the date said 9/12/2012. She didn't recall anything happening on that date and moved on since she didn't have the login.

The hallways sprawled for what seemed like forever and it was starting to get to her. Pearl knew there wasn't any life except for her and Adrian but she summand her spear anyway. She heard heavy breathing coming from one of the rooms and readied herself for entry. She burst in spear first and scanned the surroundings, it wasn't what she expected. The room looked like a place where generals would meet with the long table and the giant screen on the wall. Adrian sat on one of the chairs looking like he was having a meltdown, he was staring at a folder on the table. Pearl reached for it wondering what could be so bad about it to make him breakdown.

Inside was a document listing various details about Adrian, height, weight, no living family, and information about his armor. However, on the photo of himself was a stamp that read M.I.A… this was his world wasn't it.

"All my fault." He whispered

"Adrian are you ok?"

"This was my world Pearl and I caused its destruction!" he yelled.

"What are you talking about?"

"I killed Rose Quartz!"

"Wha-."

"The higher-ups got Intel that Pink Diamond herself would be landing on Korea and I needed to be there to take care of her."

This sounded very familiar to Pearl.

"I interfered with her plan and shattered her in front of you."

"The diamonds probably destroyed the planet because of me."

"ADRIAN!"

Pearl slapped him to get his attention back.

"This wasn't your fault I faked Rose's death in my timeline and the Diamonds didn't destroy the surface of the planet. Their attack only affected the gems, something else happened here."

Adrian stopped shivering and took a few deep breaths.

"Right, I'm better now."

"Come on, let's find a shelter."

ONE WEEK LATER

Adrian and Pearl had created a camp outside of the base with the fire providing comfort to the both. Adrian had scavenged beach city for any supplies and tried radioing to see if there were any survivors to no avail. The sky was still overcast and barely any sun-rays shot through the clouds adding to the wonderful atmosphere. He hadn't shaven for so long he had begun to grow a beard and his hair had become unkempt and long.

"Hey, Adrian!" Pearl yelled from inside the base

"Yeah?"

"I found the login for the computer want to see what's inside."

Adrain walked up the steps into the temple where the main lobby was located at. Pearl was at the main desk waiting for him smiling that she had accomplished something.

"Most of the files are corrupted but I did find some footage that was still working."

"Let's play it."

The video consisted of a man in an overly pink suit of armor in a mud hole that man was playing Tetris on his suit.

"Really?"

"I was bored."

The game stopped when Pink diamonds ship touched down on planet earth and Adrian readied his blade to kill her. Adrian charged her when she stepped out and was about to hit her gem dead on if a fist didn't punch him out of the air.

"What do you think you're doing runt." It was Jasper

"This isn't how it happened, I stabbed her!" he said confused.

"Hey Pink Diamond look at what the cat dragged in!"

Jasper held his head with one hand and his arms behind his back with the other.

"Oh my – Jasper good work I can take it from here."

"Don't worry yourself with rabble like him."

"I surrender, please don't hurt me." Adrian said

"Surrender? Please, who do you think we are?"

Pink Diamond looked like she wanted to stop her but couldn't in fear of not executing the plan. The video feed cut to static when Jasper punched Adrian in the face. The both stared horrified at what they watched glad that Pink wasn't killed but Adrian may have been.

"We'll at least we know this isn't your world." Pearl said

"Wait; do you know where the Palanquin is?"

"Yeah in Korea."

"Do you think you can repair it?"

"Given enough time sure."

Pearl knew what he was getting at.

"Great do you know of a way to get to Korea?"

"Maybe one, pack your bags because where going on a trip."
