"Have you gotten Steven on the line?" Pearl said about to crack.
Greg who had been calling Steven's phone repeatedly shook his head.
"I not sure what's happening. But I'm sure he is ok?" Greg said, very uncertain with himself.
"Don't be ridiculous! It's not ok. Look at the news! How is he ok," Pearl said shouting.
All over the news, were live footage of cities being attacked by what appeared to be what gem ships.
Suddenly the phone rang.
Greg hurried to pick it up.
"Oh, hi Connie," he said.
"Is Steven there?!" Connie said sounding very terrified.
"No. We couldn't get him," Greg replied.
Connie gave a loud groan.
"You can't get him either?"
"No."
"This is bad. This is bad. He is everywhere on the news," Connie said.
Greg looked to Pearl.
Before she could rush to turn on the TV, Amethyst came down from upstairs.
"It's terrible," she screamed.
"Steven is on the news!'
Greg nodded.
"Yes, I just found out. Is he hurt? Is Has anything bad happen to him?" Pearl said frantically.
"No. But the news replied he hurt some humans!" Amethyst said.
Greg dropped the phone.
"No, not my shnu-ball,"
"Yes I saw it too," Connie said.
"What happening?" Pearl asked in a frenzy.
The door banged open an Garnet came in.
"I've tried contacting Homeworld to find out about the invasion but it seems the Diamonds were too busy to respond," she said glumly.
"I bet they are behind this. They suddenly turn back to their old ways!" Amethyst shouted.
"What are we going to do now?" Pearl said.
Before anyone could reply Peridot burst into the room.
"What now?!" Pearl said.
"It's an invasion! It's an invasion," Peridot cried.
"Isn't that obvious?" Pearl yelled back.
"No. Not the gem ships. The barn, little homeworld, they are black vehicles pulling all around. Humans with some sort of weapons coming out. Lapis and Bismuth are trying to defend the area from them," Peridot said.
"Did they attack the humans?" Greg said in shock.
"I'm not sure. They sent me here as soon as the men started surrounded the place. They weren't firing or anything though. But I had to come here to warn you," Peridot said.
Garnet ran to the window.
"Everyone, I think we have company," she said.
They all peered out, and saw that the beach house was surrounded by government agency vehicles. Men in black suits were coming out of them. They raise weapons to the house.
"What do we do?! What do we do?!" Peridot said in panic.
One of the men held a loudspeaker in his hand.
"Come out now gem aliens. We do not want to use force on you!" he said.
"I'm not going down with a fight!" Amethyst said.
"No Amethyst. It is not what Steven would have wanted. Let's go out and talk to them," Garnet said.
"Greg stay inside. It's us they want. They can't hurt us with guns," Garnet said.
She exited and raised her hands in the air.
The rest followed resigning to their fate.
The men lowered their weapons. And the door of one of the biggest cars opened. All the gems mouths gasped as a Pearl the colour of midnight stepped out of the car.
"Greetings Crystal Gems. My name is Prof Nyx, head researcher of the Earth Extra-terrestrial Unit," she said.
