Episode 26: Jail Break

On the ship's command center, Jack, Wuya, Jackson, Jasper, and Peridot were look at something. Jack showed his Project Rebirth and was given the green light to make it. However, it was after the showing he was rolling up the blueprints and was unrolling the blueprints of Project Morph. "Alright, so project Morph is meant to be a versatile offensive machine that is equitable to me." Jack said. As he explains how it would work, a noticeable flaw was being found out. "Shouldn't you have something for defense?" Peridot suggested. "Uhhh...I was mostly thinking of a strong offense is a good defense." Jack said with a sheepish grin. "What kind of saying is that?" Jasper said with a scoff. Jack remained quiet. "I do see some potential in it, add a good defense, some full body protection, maybe something that could add mobility and you have a good plan." Peridot said. Jack softly smiles as he reroll his Project Morph blueprint. Just then, a singing began to be heard.

"Ugh…that again?" Jasper said. "I would pound her but she's already incarcerated" "Yea, it's getting a bit tedious." Jack added. "Jasper, can you take Jack along to show her a lesson or two?" Wuya said. "What, the self claimed "evil boy genius"?" Jasper said. Wuya nods. "Gah…fine." She said. Jack picks up a Gem Destablizer just in case. They head out the door and began to walk to the source of the singing. Jasper and Jack mostly remained quiet except for a few moments. "So…what does homeworld look like?" Jack said, trying to break the ice. "More advanced than you can muster up." Jasper said. "We haven't been in a war for many years and seeing those Gems still kicking around, lit a fire under me." "Well, you can thank my and the shen gong wus." Jack said. Jasper scoff at that idea. "No, I'm serious, if it wasn't for my parents giving me a box that contained Wuya, I wouldn't have found out the Wus, would not have found out about the Gems, and would not have worked with Peridot and you." Jack tried to explain. "Somehow, I don't believe it." Jasper said. "I feel like it was a near inevitability that we would find out about the Gems still kicking."

Soon, they arrive at the source of the singing. "Listen to us, and listen to us carefully" Jack said to something. "Knock off with the singing, we have your wus, we have the monks incarcerated, The Gems are incarcerated, Steven is out cold, and no one will rescue you." "If you do not knock off the singing, we will personally destablize you. You have been warn." Jasper said. Jack pulls out the gem destablizer to show that they aren't messing around. They soon began to walk away. "We showed her." Jack said with a smirk. "I doubt that she would sing…for a bit. She's been doing that ever since she reformed." Jasper said. "I have my doubts as well but I think that if I destablize her, well, she would learn that she should not have cross Jack Spicer, evil boy genius." Jack boast a bit. Jasper growls as they arrive back at the command center. "How did it go?" Jackson said. "We gave her a chance to knock off with the singing but we have doubts that she got the memo." Jack said. Wuya began to wonder something. "We got all of the shen gong wu…except for a few. The Shroud of Shadows, The Shard of Lighting, The Golden Tiger Claws and the Monkey Staff are AWOL." Wuya mentions. Jack rechecks his chart and realized that Wuya was right. "Yea, what happened? The Monks had those wu yet they are MIA." Jack said. This was rather curious and they don't know how or why it happened.

Back at the Monks, they got metal bars, strong enough to deter Clay's strength and Dojo's shapeshift. All of them were feeling down. "We…we lost." Omi said. "This is most trouble we have ever experience…and we lost." "Yea…this is getting worse and worse, Jack and Wuya are likely reunited together, Peridot and Jasper are a threat and a half, We don't know where Steven and the Gems are, Garnet Is poofed, and our wus have been confiscated." Kimiko said. "I hate to say this but…we might have officially lost Raimundo for good." Clay said. "What makes you say that?" Kimiko said. "Yea, Raimundo remained neutral through the whole ordeal." Omi added. "That is true, but…why would he return to us when he could easily join the Heylin, redeem himself in Wuya's eyes and just get what he needed. I'm usually trying to be positive…however, I just don't see any light at the end of this tunnel." Clay said, sounding super defeated. Kimiko and Omi sighs in despair. Just then, like it was a flash, three wus were in front of them. The Orb of Tornami in front of Omi, the Star Hanabi in front of Kimiko, and the Fist of Tebigong in front of Clay. "What the? How the?" Clay said. "I might have spoken too soon." "But how did the wus get here?" Kimiko said.

Just then, out of the shadows was…Raimundo! "Raimundo!?" Kimiko said. "Raimundo!" Omi said. "I can't believe it!" Clay said excitedly. "You guys missed me?" Raimundo said with a smirk. Omi picks up the Orb of Tornami. "Orb of Tornami, ICE!" Omi said as he launches a beam of ice, making the steel beams into ice pillars. Kimiko, Clay, Omi, and Dojo breaks out of their respective cages. They rush over and hugs Raimundo. "How did you do that, Raimundo?!" Kimiko asked. "Well, I needed some extra wus to make it possible but they worked out beautifully." Raimundo said, revealing the shroud of Shadows and the Shard of Lighting. "You were the one that took those two?" Clay said. "Yep…So, long story." Raimundo said. "I took the Shroud of Shadow and the Shard of Lightning while you guys were still in Rio with me. The Gems were outside discussing something but I didn't hear what they said. I head back with the wus in tow. I wanted to have some insurance just in case. However, when I saw the hand ship on TV, I knew my neutral stance would not last for much longer and I found out that there were a massive invasion heading towards you guys and I figured it would be too much for you guys to handle." "Ain't that the truth." Kimiko said. Raimundo nods and he continues his story.

"So, after that, I got an idea, why fight my way in when I could sneak onto the ship and bust you guys out from the inside. So I used the golden tiger claws, went to Steven's place while you guys were outside defending from Peridot's arrival. While you guys were in the sphere of yun, I snuck on board, managed to snag up the three wus while Jack and the orange gem." Raimundo before he got interrupted by Omi. "That would be Jasper." Omi said. "Okay, thank you. Jack and Jasper were AWOL and managed to get it via the shard of lightning. One quick grab in a flash. However, I noticed there was a guy that looked like me." Raimundo said. "That would be Jackson…or Dark Rai. Wuya somehow split you into two, Regular Rai and Dark Rai, or Jackson in this case." Clay explained. Raimundo got red in the face. "Okay, Wuya is wanting to play dirty, I'll show her dirty in the future." Raimundo said, in an angry tone. "Calm down, Rai. Revenge will come soon, just not now." Kimiko said. "Right…right." Raimundo said. "So after that…here we are, I freed you guys and ready to help out the best I can." "So…does that mean…?" Clay said. "Yep, I'm returning back to you guys." Raimundo said. The monks cheer and hugs Raimundo.

"Alright, it's great and all, but Garnet got poofed and we need to find her, Steven, and the Gems and get out of here." Dojo said. "Wait, Garnet poofed?! By who?" Raimundo said. "Jack Spicer and the Gem Destablizer." Kimiko said. "Well, I take it that was for his injury from Garnet I assume?" Raimundo said. Clay nods. "I figured. Looks like we got a lot of work to do." Raimundo said. Just then, the singing returns. "I've been wondering what is up with the singing." Raimundo said. "Yea, it's like it trying to attract someone." Clay said. "Well, we need to find out right now." Kimiko said. Raimundo, Kimiko, Clay, Omi and Dojo began to go and follow the singing. Just then, they ran into a red person. "Wait, who are you?" Raimundo said. "Uhh…I'm Ruby." the gem said. Raimundo was a little confused. "I don't remember you. Are you working with Wuya?" Raimundo said. "HECK NO!" Ruby shouted. "I'm looking for Sapphire!" "Sapphire?" Raimundo said. "Who the heck is Sapphire?" Kimiko began to think and knew that Raimundo would find out sooner or later. She whisper to Raimundo's ear and…well, Raimundo was surprised. "No way…is that the case?" Raimundo said. "Yea, we knew that and we have been meaning to mention that to you." Kimiko said with an awkward chuckle. "Well, At least I now know about it. Sorry about the accusation, Ruby." Raimundo said.

Ruby began to run and the Monks follow suit. They soon realized the singing stopped. "Sapphire!" Ruby shouts. "Are you wanting us to be found out?!" Raimundo said with a soft shout to Ruby. "Sorry, but I got to find her." Ruby said. They soon reach to the a hallway and soon see…SAPPHIRE AND STEVEN! "*gasp* Sapphire!" Ruby said. "Ruby!" Sapphire said. They both rush and hug each other. The monks quickly rushes over to Steven. "Steven, are you okay?" Clay said. "I-I-I'm fine." Steven said. "Ew…looks like a nasty black eye you have." Raimundo said. "Sorry, but I needed to comment on it. Anyway, I am back." "Great the hear that, Raimundo." Steven said as he notice Ruby and Sapphire fusing into…GARNET! Garnet was a fusion all along. "Steven, Monks, Thank you!" Garnet said. "Wha?! GARNET! You were a fusion?!" Steven said. "Yea, we didn't plan on meeting you up here." Garnet said. "Did I make a good first impression?" Steven said with a sheepish shrug. "Don't worry, Steven. We always loved you." Garnet said with a kiss on his cheek. The Monk smiles a bit. Just then…"WHERE IS SHE!?" Jasper and Wuya shouts in the distance. "That must be Wuya and Jasper." Garnet said. "Steven, Monks, find the others and get to the control bridge." "But we don't know where they are." Steven said. Garnet kisses Steven's forehead soon he got the info he needed. "Think you can handle Jasper by yourself?" Raimundo said. "Don't worry guys, I'm never alone." Garnet said with a smile. The Monks and Steven nods and head out.

Back at the Control Bridge, Wuya rushes in, looking like in a panic. "Someone got Sapphire out!" Wuya said. "WHAT?!" Jack said. "How is that possible?!" "Well, if Ruby isn't out, then Garnet would not form." Wuya said. "Uh…too late." Jackson said, pointing at the screen, showing Garnet starting to fight Jasper. "Gah! This is not good." Wuya bemoans. "Someone snuck Ruby and Sapphire out to make them fuse into Garnet." Jackson added. "It has to be due to Steven's human side." Jack said. Just then, the door opens and is shows the Monks and the Gems. Peridot is shocked and pulls out a gem destablizer. However, Raimundo uses the tiger claws to prevent any usage of the Gem Destablizer. He broke it in half. Jack secretly smuggles his Destablizer in his jacket. The Monks and Gems quickly defeat the Jackbots and several Jacknoids. Wuya's Rock Creatures were AWOL due to Wuya needed to go to space and due to that, she disintegrated all of them for the time being. Soon, they managed to wrap up Peridot, Jackson, Wuya and Jack, allowing Pearl to take control of the ship. Meanwhile, Garnet was holding off Jasper and still sung Stronger than you. The monks were watching and Raimundo took back all of the lost Wus and then some, even getting the reversing mirror. Little did they know, Jack managed to keep the Eye of Dashi, Changing Chopsticks, Third-Arm Sash, and the Ring of Nine Dragons in his jacket.

As Jack mumbles to himself about how they "interfere with greatness" A massive explosion happens. This led to some breathing room and allowed Peridot, Jackson, Jack and Wuya to escape via escape pod. "SHOOT! They slipped away." Raimundo said. "And to make matters worse, the ship is crashing!" Kimiko said. All they could do is hope Garnet could make it back in time. Just then, Garnet arrived. "Garnet!" All of them said. "What about Lapis?" Steven said "No time." Garnet said. The ship crash lands and explodes. A bit later, Lion searches though the rubble and find a massive pile. He roars revealing...Steven's bubble. He managed to bubble everyone, The Monks, Gems and Dojo. "Nice thinking, buckaroo." Clay said. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe Garnet was a fusion." Steven said. "Yea, it's very impressive." Raimundo said. "Wait, you all met Ruby and Sapphire?" Amethyst said. "We were planning on making a birthday surprise for you, Steven." Garnet explained. "We could still do it, I would just act surprised." Steven said. There were a few chuckles from everyone as Jasper climbs out, breaking the moment. "Gah...don't think you won. If I had my own fusion, I would destroy you all and confiscate the Wus." Jasper said. Just then, another rubble moves off. It was Lapis and she looked hurt. Omi was starting to get a bit close to Lapis but Jasper tackles him away. "No you don't" Jasper said, grabbing Lapis before she could react. "Fuse with me." "What?!" Lapis said. "Those Gems betrayed homeworld. They are traitors and have kept you prisoner. They betrayed me and they betrayed you. Fuse with me to exact revenge. Just like Jack Spicer." Jasper said.

Steven stepped up. "Lapis, no!" Steven said. Lapis looks at Steven, then the Gems and the Monks. She doesn't know them but if Steven is finding some worth behind them, maybe…There would be something in it for her. Lapis turns back to Jasper and offers her hand. The both of the fused in a massive cloud of dust. A bit later, their fusion, Malachite, was born. Malachite chuckles as she began to summon water. "Ah, the power, we are Malachite now!" Malachite said. Omi walked up and stood against Malachite, fearless He also began to pull out the Orb of Tornami. Just before he could use it, the water latches on to the Malachite and began to dragging her underwater. "I'm done being everyone's prisoner, now you are my prisoner and I won't let go." Lapis' side said. Just as they got dragged underwater, a hush is heard. Soon, Malachite was gone, underwater for an unknown amount of time. Steven was shocked and sadden by it. The monks meanwhile were surprised about Jasper doing this and backfiring at her.

"So…looks like we got a lot of work to do." Raimundo said. "Yep, repairing Beach City, cleaning the beach, finding Peridot, Jack, Wuya and Jackson, so much more." Kimiko said. "We also got to rescue Lapis sooner or later." Clay added. "She seem so upset." Steven added. "Who, Lapis?" Omi asked. "Yea…she seemed like she got desperate." Steven added. "I wish I could have talked her out of it." "Well, there's a good side…you got me back." Raimundo said, with a pat on Steven's shoulder. A bit of a quiet moment is felt. "Well, at least there won't be any calls coming soon, right?" Raimundo said. Just then, Steven cell phone rings. It's Connie. He picks up, Connie was panicking wondering what happened. Raimundo face palm as we put the star iris on him. "Never change, Raimundo...never change" he said to himself as we fade out.
