The next hour was complete anarchy!

The "Clark" alien finally managed to get all of the animals into the glass MIB cells. The diversity ranged greatly- from rabbits to elephants. Garnet and Pearl were insistent that they "Explore the next floor down.", attempting to stay lighthearted for the sake of Steven. The half human looked back at the massive animals in cages before being beckoned to a nearby staircase. Pearl attempted to smile throughout the entire ordeal- but her expression came across as off-putting...like someone who had a stomachache. Approximately 15 minutes later- she was quite insistent on covering Steven's ears.

Steven obliged knowing Pearl was probably more knowledgeable about these things than he. Sound blocked, the half-human watched in absolute terror as his family winced, and immediately grimaced. Amethyst's eyes became large before looking toward the floor they had just come from. Pearl instructed that the purple Gem should NOT go back into the containment area.

"You'll regret it Amethyst..."

Unfortunately, the quartz was stubborn. Amethyst ignored Pearl's warning, and re-entered the staircase to see what the devil had just happened. The sound she had heard was nearly indescribable...like a unified bray of animal noises- immediately followed by popping and snapping sounds, and then: an un-Earthly, foreign, screech!

...

The purple Gem returned from the cell floor several minutes later, her face was as pale as a ghost! She could honestly say she knew what a Xenomorph was now...although she kind of wished she had listened to Pearl and stayed blissfully ignorant.

"Are you ok Amethyst? What was THAT all about? Pearl?!" Steven looked around the room-incredibly worried and confused. Pearl shook her head in silence. Amethyst simply latched onto Steven; hugging him while shivering horribly. The boy was baffled, but figured it would be better to drop the subject.


Meanwhile, Zed was on the phone with several Agents of Nerv. Apparently, there was an Angel AND a Ghidorah attacking separate parts of Japan at the SAME time!

Zed suggested they call the (more local) "Science Patrol". The MIB was not equipped to fight Kaijus. The answer he received was disheartening. The "Science Patrol" had already been called...as well as the "Hero Association", and the "Ministry of Science". The lines were down for all of them. Mothera was gone...Ultraman had been defeated...Nerv had called the MIB out of desperation.

Shocked by this news, Zed was going to suggest calling a more local branch; when the screen suddenly turned to static, and the line was cut. The MIB agent attempted to call back in a massive panic, but every attempt resulted in a robotic voice stating that Nerv's "Line was down", and to: "Try again later".

Zed left his office to try to clear his mind. Unfortunately, his wandering led him back into the massive containment area.
Where an entire zoo worth of animals had once stood, there was now only red, and a MASIVE amount of different sized Xenomorphs. The group of gray, long tailed, oblong-headed aliens hissed at the Human in warning as he approached the cages.

The scene made the man jump! Absolutely terrifying! The agent immediately thanked whatever higher power existed, that the very last Kryptonian had made Earth his home...and that the MIB cells were acid-proof and had no vents.

Zed quickly remembered the fact that Yellow Diamond's punishment was now completely exposed! Cursing to himself again, the man began to search the building for the "Gem friends", that had seemingly brought all of this bad luck upon his branch in the first place...


It took some time, but Bananas FINALLY got her phone call to Blue Diamond. The kitten was insistent once Zed relocated her party. The Human couldn't say he blamed her. The building now held a Parasyte and approximately Forty Xenomorphs...AND THOSE were just the invasive aliens they had CAUGHT.

The kitten kindly asked for privacy as the line began to connect. Both Zed and the Gems seemed annoyed, but nodded and complied.

The line connected. The screen displayed Blue Pearl. "Um...hello. This is the...the...Diamond line?" Despite the fact that Blue Pearl had hair covering her eyes, the sight of the Earth kitten confused her greatly! "wh-what the stars?!"

"Who is it my Pearl?" Blue Diamond's voice could be heard from the background.

"erm...I'm not sure. It seems to be a...Thubanian?" The Pearl attempted to guess the species.

"Oh! Give it here Pearl!" The Diamond moved the camera toward herself in excitement! She was smiling, and excused Blue Pearl from her chambers for more privacy. "Yellow! My dear sister! Is that you?! You're looking well! I'm surprised they let you call me..."

"I'm glad they did!"

Blue Diamond jumped with surprise! "OH! OH YELLOW! You got your voice back! How...?"

"Translation collar..." The kitten looked at her neck awkwardly.

"Oh! I see!" Blue Diamond nodded. "So how are you doing Yellow?"

"I'm not going to lie Blue...I'm in...a bit of a fix."

Blue sighed. "What did you do now Yellow?"

"WHA?! NOTHING!" The kitten hissed! "The MIB wants to transfer me...just because I got my speech back!"

"They...do? Well than, what's the problem? You are still serving your sentence Yellow...certainly ONE Earth household is just as good as the next?"

Bananas drooped her head and blushed in embarrassment. "You...you wouldn't understand Blue...I-I have to stay with my current caretakers."

Blue seemed confused. She tilted her head in bafflement. "Why?"

"They...they need me. They need me to protect them. Blue...a Parasyte was found on this planet today."

"A PARASYTE?!" The leader was horrified!

The kitten nodded. "-and a whole herd of Xenomorphs."

"OH MY STARS! Yellow, I'm going to have to INSIST on talking to Zed if that's the case! NO sister of mine is going to be left on a planet invaded by such...MONSTROSITIES!"

"NO!"

"What?"

"MMMEEOONNOOOO!" The kitten howled in protest! "MMMMEEEOOOONNNOOO!"

"YELLOW! What has gotten into you?! I'm your sister for stars sake! I am NOT losing another loved one!"

"NOR AM I!" The cat was clearly upset! "Blue! Blue! You must listen! So much has happened while I've been on Earth! I have discovered "love", and "empathy"! I have grown attached to the creatures that take care of me! I don't want any harm to come to them..."

Enraged, Blue Diamond began to fume in aggression! "I am NOT going to let you stay on that FRACKING planet! Your life is worth FAR greater than some disgusting organics'!"

"I have made up my mind already Blue. I know this to be terribly...taboo and (frankly), unexpected...but I have come to love these creatures almost as much as I love you. If you don't wish to help me, that's fine...but you are safe, and they are not. I would never forgive myself if I didn't at least TRY to help them..."

"Than...than...let's put your organic friends in Pink's zoo! Everyone will be safe then!"

Bananas chuckled to herself. "Unless we have enough room in the zoo for 7.6 Billion Humans, I'm afraid that's not an option."

Blue began to cry in desperation! "Yellow...why?"

"Because, it is the right thing to do...to help others- even if they are smelly, horrendous things!"

"Yellow...I don't want you getting hurt..."

"Than HELP me dear sister! Give me my powers back!"

"It's not that simple Yellow. I-I don't have the authority. The Keronians currently have possession of your powers. You would have to convince THEM...not ME."

Yellow cursed to herself. "Is there anyway you can transfer me through to their ambassador? This is a time sensitive situation, and I don't have their contact information..."

"Couldn't the MIB Do it for you?"

"I...suppose, however, I rather this conversation stay private. Zed has NO CLUE what we're talking about. I would like to keep it that way." The kitten nodded.

Blue sighed. "FINE. I swear...you have always been so stubborn Yellow..."

"One more thing before you transfer me..."

"-WHAT?"

"If...if anything happens to me...I DO NOT want you blaming the Humans, Keronians, OR yourself! This is MY decision, and MY decision alone!" The kitten nodded. "I...I love you Blue! I will try to call as frequently as I can from now on."

Blue Diamond said nothing, but nodded in understanding as she began to weep. She pressed a button in her chambers, and the call was immediately transferred to Keron.

The kitten waited for someone to pick up the line...


Hey guys! Toonfreak here again! I just wanted to let you know that I won't have spelling software for the next two weeks...so if my posts include horrible spelling mistakes (or if there are no posts at all), you'll know why!

I'm SUPER curious what you guys think of this new arc so far! This one has been difficult to write- I'm completely out of my element here. Does it sound...OK? At least? I didn't get a lot of feedback on the last chapter, so I have NO CLUE if my writing is going in the right direction...or...not?...LOL!

Also, Toaster's real Birthday is coming up! (July 8th!)

Happy early Birthday to you Toaster! XD (Toaster's birthday is the same as my Dad's...so if you ever wondered why I picked THAT day specifically...YUP! THERE 'YA GO! Soooo...Happy early Birthday to my Dad too!).

A cookie to anyone who can spot all the Easter Eggs I put in this chapter...there are A LOT of them! Even the title is an Easter Egg...
