Back on Earth, Kermesite, Diaboleite, the Topaz brothers, and what was left of the Crystal Gems had just captured Xenotime and were now rushing against time to change her back before Yggdrasil, and in turn the Earth, was going to die. Kermesite was still trying to find the spell that could revert Green Topaz's wife back to normal, having flipped through several pages in order to do so.

"Did you find it yet?" Green Topaz asked Kermesite anxiously.

"Nope," Kermesite answered him. "I know it's in this book somewhere... I just need to find it..." She flipped through it a little bit more before landing on the page she wanted. "A-ha!"

"Oh my Gods, you found it?" Blue Topaz asked eagerly.

"Yep," Kermesite replied again. She trailed her finger along the page until it landed on the spell she was looking for. "Here it is: 'The Reversal Spell'. It's supposed to reverse any and all transformations that may have been done with previous spells."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Recite the spell already!"

"Now hold on. I need to check and see if I wrote it down the way I was supposed to…" Kermesite cleared her throat. "'Amber, dear Amber, listen if you may. Whatever I've inflicted here, please make it go away.'" And when Kermesite uttered these words… nothing seemed to happen. "Huh?"

"Um, excuse me," Blue Topaz spoke up. "But you wouldn't have happened to write down the wrong spell, would you?"

"Oh Gods!" his brother Green exclaimed. "It didn't work! What now?"

"Now hold on," Kermesite said. "I could've sworn I wrote it down correctly. Perhaps if I recite it again, I might-"

But before she could've said anything else, Xenotime broke down her cage from the inside and scuttled away to create more panic and chaos in Beach City.

"Well, at least now we know it works," Aquamarine quipped before laughing her ass off.

Jade responded by slapping her upside the head.

For the next several minutes, Capri, Rhyncho, and Zarmina proceeded to climb, climb, climb up the prison tower, all eighty feet of it. About eleven feet up, Rhyncho and Zarmina started panting like dogs while Capri appeared to show no signs of exhaustion or overheating whatsoever, not even while the heat of Giegue's star was brutally beating down on them.

"Capri!" Zarmina exclaimed out of shock while they continued to ascend up the tower. "I cannot believe you haven't even broken a sweat! How do you do it?"

"Well, she's 3/4ths Gem and 1/4th human," Rhyncho proceeded to explain to his Geyri friend. "She doesn't need to regulate temperature exactly."

"Ah, that makes sense." Zarmina then diverted her attention to Capri. "So Capri, tell me. What's it like to have a father who draws his heritage from Gems and humans?"

"Eh… it's nothing really special. He's basically a human, just with Gem abilities. He still needs oxygen to breathe, he still needs to eat and sleep, and basically function like any other human being. When Grandma Rose had my dad, she basically became half of him."

"So… does that make him his own mother?"

"I guess so. And if we go by that logic, I'm my own mother as well and so are practically most Gems."

Zarmina tried not to think about that too hard; it would've made her head explode.

Capri proceeded to stop for a moment and pull out her whip from her gem and whip it near the very top of the prison tower. She then climbed up on her whip and proceeded to leave her fellow reptilian friends behind for a bit.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Rhyncho yelled out to Capri. "If you could do that this whole time, why were you just scaling the tower with us?"

"Honestly, I just needed the exercise," Capri replied. She managed to reach to the top and sit upon the chair that was usually reserved for the warden. "Alright, guys. I made it. What should I do now, Zarmina?"

"Let's see..." Zarmina had to think for a moment. "What powers do you have?"

"Well..." Capri started listing off powers she could think of off the top of her head. "I can spin dash, I can float, I can flutter jump, I can heal living things with my spit and bring them back to life with my tears, and…"

"Whoa!" Zarmina exclaimed. "Are you also part-god?"

"Well, kinda. When Grandma Rose needed help stopping Zirconia from killing the squishy humans, she had the Pantheon give them part of their powers to her and when she sacrificed her form to have Dad many years later, she passed those powers down to him and then he passed them down to me."

"Amazing. I didn't know the Gem Gods could even do that."

"Well, now you know. Anyway, I guess if I use one of the Gods' powers to lure her out, we might be able to catch her this way."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Use them!"

"Alright, I will! Just… give me a second." Capri thought about it for a minute before an idea dawned on her. "Well, what if I call down lightning? She'll have to come and see what's that about!"

"That's great! Do you know how to do it?"

"Um..." Capri started to think back on the time when Tanzanite had told her a story about how Pumice had once struck lightning down upon Zeolite's head out of spite by chanting a very specific chant that was reserved only for him. "Sure." She cleared her throat and then started chanting. "Voces et tonitrua, heu! Venite ad me. Rursus imperils et fulmine terres et ostende te mihi." And when she had finished reciting the chant, a single bolt of lightning crashed down in front of her and a thunderclap followed.

As if on cue, Gneiss and the warden, a Sillimanite, came running to see what the commotion was about.

"What's going on here?" Sillimanite asked out of befuddlement. "Who are you three and what are you doing scaling that tower?"

"Oh, good, you're here," Capri replied calmly. "My name is Capri Universe and these are my friends Rhyncho and Zarmina. Rhyncho here is one of the guardians of Yggdrasil, the tree that your companion here just poisoned." She pointed directly at Gneiss as she said this. "And Zarmina is just Zarmina."

"Yggdrasil? Poisoned?" Sillimanite turned her head to face Gneiss. "Do you know what she's talking about?"

"Nope, not a clue," Gneiss lied. "This woman is insane."

"I am not!" Capri rebutted. "Don't listen to her, Warden. She poisoned the tree because my dad rejected her sexual advances and she didn't take it well."

"I can vouch for that," Rhyncho agreed. "When my fellow Guardians and I were looking into one of the cracks that had just formed in the tree, we couldn't help but notice that it was beginning to suffer signs of necrosis, something we did not see before Gneiss dropped by for her 'visit.'"

"Is this true, Priestess?" Sillimanite asked Gneiss. "Did you infect the tree because Capri's father rejected you?"

Gneiss sighed at this, knowing that if she lied any further, she'd only delay the inevitable. "Yes, it's true," she admitted. "I was upset and sought to take my anger on something. I thought perhaps by poisoning the tree, I could get his attention and then impress him by curing it myself." She proceeded to climb up the tower and confront Capri herself. "Take me home, Capri. No use in hiding anymore."

"Wait a minute, you're giving yourself up?" Rhyncho asked in stunned confusion. "Just like that?"

Gneiss could only shrug. "Why not?" However, just as Capri had clamped her hands down onto her wrists, Gneiss suddenly jerked backwards and smacked her head into Capri's own, sending her hurtling all the way down to the ground.

"Capri!" Rhyncho cried out. He suddenly felt something he'd never felt before: righteous, justified anger. "Oh, now you're really going to get it, Priestess! You hear me? I'm coming for you!" He scuttled up the tower and landed a blow across Gneiss's face. "How do you like that, you genocidal maniac?"

"How dare you hit a lady!" Gneiss screamed at him while clawing his face. "Didn't your parents teach you any manners?"

"I never knew my parents! My masters raised me from an egg! Monster, how could you do this and to your own dimension no less?! Do you not realize how much danger you've put our dimension and Earth? Everything will die because of you!"

"Like that matters to me! If it's my fault that Mineralis will be gone, then so be it!"

Rhyncho proceeded to sock Gneiss across the face and kick her off the tower, which sent her falling to the ground at such a great speed that it broke her neck. She then poofed and retreated into her gem.

"Are you okay, Capri?" Rhyncho asked softly.

Capri groaned while she got back up. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied. "Thanks for taking a hit at Gneiss. That was great."

"Anything for you, Miss Universe."

"So… what are you guys going to do now?" Zarmina asked her new friends.

"Now..." Rhyncho answered. "We'll bring her back to Mineralis and hand her over to the authorities."
