[Steven is sleeping since a long therapy session with Redfire, he dream about being in his room at his beach home where he grew up. He's wondering how he got here until he saw DS (Dark Steven) tied up into the wooden beam with his arms spread like at-pose. Steven wonders how he ends up like this,' DS ow did you end up like this.' DS responded to Steven like his a nuisance,' Isn't obvious that actually, you did this, you accepted what Palkia wanted you to be as nothing but just a Savior. If you keep a fallow thing like this, you end up like me. Do you have any idea how I got these horns handspikes, Steven? I was like you, being a Savior until I have no purpose. Do you even remember why you left beach city in the first place?' Steven collapsed on his knee as he started to resurfaced his repressed memories.' I…..corrupted myself because I was scared of myself after shatter myself and slammed White Diamond. I felt like have no purpose other than being a savior, that's why I felt lonely. I'm sorry….that I haven't told Link about this DS.' Steven untied DS from the beam,' I didn't tell him because I don't want to feel Link purposeless as a Hero.' DS gives Steven a bit of advice,' give him some risk-free walk like you did when like one of you alone adventures.' Steven responded with a smile before leaving his dream]
Steven woke up to see Link packing his stuff to go somewhere, 'ummm Link where are you going.' Link proud fully responded, 'To Cenote Azule, Zelda told me to pay respect to the fallen Emerald Knights, you wanna come.' Steven gladly responded with Redfire and Shaymin on his side,' Of course, let's enjoy together with no presser.' They warp pad somewhere on the western side of the Yucatan peninsula to go a trail to the cenote, they wandered around until they spotted Shuine (Rayqueza's feathered snake form) to guide them. Once they made it Tropius, Breloon and Cresnaught help the heroes enter the sinkhole. While inside the cenote, the link felt a could breeze until they found an Emerald Knight ghost while Steven Steven's jaw suddenly drop. The knight inducted himself,' My name is Sir Hal Jorden and our tragic story begins when rouge knights have been killing some of us, we are usually constant of 300 of the entire frontier so I must do something with my trusty Flygon. One of the rose-red was Razer, we escaped the attack except for a fellow Shir Rev was injured while my Flygon lamented since his home was destroyed, the red rouge motive is to demolish the guardian in the name of….Ornismon- the slayer of weak. To prevent them from destroying Rev's home is to disarm it with Razor was there, I face Atrocitus who have hatred and vengeance with use since he explains we exiled from his home. I inflected my anger to Razer after the explosion until I force him to reform, we don't seek vengeance so he has to ease his emotions since he was fighting warlords and suffering intense pain.'
'Then a fateful event that changes Razer's life when Aya downloaded herself into a robotic flygon while on rescue last colony batch on the edge of a black hole, is ironic since Razor is not well my organic one. Then we are getting recites from a lost planet- Drusa and Grood (one of them looks like an anteater) until it was a trap and Razor stilled filled with despair. Razor returned to his demon-filled base to kill Atrocitus despite Aya's protest until she was captured, their back story is to seek vengeance since they are banished by the Emerald Knights. Then we meet the Star Sapphires that powered by love like of them is into me, my flygon become hinged with a Salamance named Galia and things got awkward when my Carol came. Our leader was attacked by her brother the become rouge, the guardians still support the exiling of red knights years ago they fallow order over emotion. We attempted to prevent war between rouge knights and emerald knights while closing a tunnel but Aya was reprogramed by my red knights. A saint attempted to find the Savior of hope from Palkia but no answer so was chosen to become Sapphire Knight. Then everything when wrong when Atrocious attack the base so we went help from Star Sapphires, then the Saint comes to help as Sapphire Knight fight back against the planet-destroying droids. Then I finally tried to reason with Atrocitus peaceful before range attack anything in his path, Razer finally bonded with Aya. Thanks to my will, I managed to defeat Atrocitus and set the rouge knights to rethink of themselves.'
Steven and Link are surprised that they are not just servants of the Gods like a usual crusader, but so flawed since they are responsible for their own downfall. Link is having thoughts about it,' So the rouge red knight wanted to seek vengeance from being banished but they become the servant of the demonic Onismon as well.' Hal felt lamented about not finding Savior,' Our mission is to protect the galaxy but the Saviors didn't come, it was prophesied that Dialga and Palkia will come in darkest dower s a last resort to restore order from despair. Dialga the guardian of time to shape hope from the harsh future with the power of wisdom, Palkia the guardian of the galaxy to restore peace with the power of love from all life. But since our deaths were inevitable since…..the dark pterosaur demon attack, they didn't come.' Link sees Steven leaving from the water hole as he heard enough not to deal with this, Link uses his grading hook to get receive Steven back to water level. Link comforts Steven,' Is alright buddy, is not your fault or Palkia's because you were a kid and didn't know about being a Savior.' Hal warmly interacted with Steven,' Is alright young Savior, is like we said earlier 'our deaths was inevitable.' We might be knighted chosen by Rayqueza to shown restore balance to galaxy until you went on a way later as Palkia.' Steven calmly responded,' I understand you're wanted a Savior but I am my own person, need to be me to feel…loved as a human as much as Palkia wanted to be.' His Flygon bowed before Steven,' I understand, mi Salvador.'
Link starts to wonder about their fate,' Sir Hal, I know this might be too hard to talk but how did he seal your fate.' Hal responded with a sober look,' You see….it all started with Anti-Monitor from Biot, but my Flygon is training with a cute squirrel, the guardians have Ayia so we retrieve her. Razer is on sabbatical with the sapphire knights, Sapphire Knights like St. Walker believe in hope that burns for better tomorrow. Anti-monitor are soulless robots but that set Aya off, Razer wonders if Aya has…feelings while there is hope that robots may have souls like Aya because she has feelings. The Anti-monitor are never adapted or evolve since they are wipeout anything sentient, but Aya is not like them because she can feel. But sadly everything when horribly wrong when Aya and Anti-monitor fused into a soulless entity that negates emotions, it costed lives of reformed knights. Aya becomes heartless Flygon mech when she attacks the Star Sapphires because she no longer feels love, all this happens because Razor not sure if boots can feel since the Anti-monitor attack. She summoned Atrocitus demon, my Star Sapphire was shattered in action to protect me and defeat the demon. Aya is a unique AI because is a super-computer that possesses sentience but her flaw is that she's self-aware. Razer tried to confront her as a distraction to nuke her but it made her powerful, guardians say that she can't be existed because of her heartlessness according to our code if will.'
'Razer was so devastated that that's no longer Aya, he no longer senses anger ever since. The knights charged attack to the killer robots, but my team use meditation to cease emotion to get through until Razer gives in. Then we found out that Anti-monitor corrupted her to kill sentient life, but his main purpose is to create Dark Matter to lure Giratina and Dark pterosaur to devour everything that Palkia and Dialga shape the universe in the first place. Corrupted Aya intends to create a new universe without emotions by destroying both entities in the very beginning. Like the knights of all sentient life forms, we face her on war. I tried to reopen wither her why she's gathering resources from life-less planets of life has no meaning, but she rebels that she wanted to create a universe with no life with suffering. I even explain the expression of emotions about joylessness, happiness, and love because she is a living being. I manage to stop her by understanding regression after attacking Razor by accident because…..she didn't mean to hurt him because….Razor has feelings for her. After returning to safety from a time vortex, she felt remorse that harmed her loved one. She used her last remaining powers to heal him and end eliminated every copy of her with…..a virus.' The spirit with hissed began to weep because it not just lost Aya, 'Razor left us to look for her somewhere but dark matter lured malice-lanced Giratina that wiped us all.'
Link and Steve look down in sadness from their loss for a moment to silence, Steven wonders if his existence was a blessing because Aya didn't found Palkia. Link felt saddened that Razor is rather dead or somewhere alone,' I don't about Razor, is he alive somewhere out there or he perished. Hal responded,' I'm not sure sometimes I Razor spirit visit's me but I sense that he's somewhere out there.' Steven found a clump of shattered emeralds and wonders if they are sentient by licking it and putting together,' Steven you do realize that I'm a human and that's Kilowog's…..' The shattered gem clumps together before reformed into a blank-stared flygon,' what is happing Hal, why I'm I seeing two of them.' Kilowog's spirit looks at his gem-half while Hal explains,' I forgot to tell you that Emerald Flygons become half-gems once they swoon thee will to sentient emerald.' The resurrected flygon looked at Steven with a thousand-yard stare that freaks him out,' That look at him is going to give me nightmare, I hope isn't about things gone wrong if Spinel's rejuvenator took a hit and all it left of myself is a full gem.' Steven began to shiver before turning pink from what he experienced with reform flygon while Link was thinking,' If Steven mange to fixed emerald flygons, would preserve their legacy even more.' Hal responded,' Yes but they're recurred formed will have to find non-gem flygon and owner to complete the process, it takes a while because there like 300 of them.' Steven still shivers about himself as a full gem if Aya pulled him out go his human body while Kilwog's gem just feels puzzled about what wrong with Steven. Link asked if it could do the same with other 'gems' that may have been shattered' So what about the Salamance Sapphire Knights and Star Sapphires.' Hal responded with uncertainty,' Sadly, the salamance are organic because they were Dialga's pets and Star Sapphires have their shards carried in distance planet.'
Link looks depressed but looks at Steven as he might have access to the Diamonds,' Hey Steven doesn't worry about anything about worst stuff because there is hope to preserve the Celestial Knights- revive Emerald Knights with your spit with all hydration as possible, tell the Diamonds about Star Sapphire's shard are to revive them to preserve it for better future.' Steven whimpers because he's deeply saddened by their loss and feels vulnerable,' How come Link, I'm a fragile human.' Hal can't bear to see adorable cinnamon roll feeling scared that he must tell him a sacred oath to lift his spirit,' Hey Steven, is okay to be scared because we might be failing but all it matters is our determination. Here the sacred oath, In brightest day and blackest night no evil shall escape my sight let all those who worship evils might beware the power within.' Steven sniffs as he starts to regain his determination,' Of course because evil can't escape when their courage inside all of us.' Link smiles and cheers before explaining, 'What do you think why Triforce of courage choose me because I knew that I could whip out evil during the darkest day.' Steven's tear and battles of Diamond essence fallen into the cenote revives other Flygon emeralds,' I think we tell the diamond about this.' Link in terraced with Steven,' Steven do you realized what happened, you preserve the Emerald Knights for next generations. I know that their spirit might be remembered but legends never die, even being canceled by malice.' The Emerald flygons bowed before Steven,' El Salvador.'
Steven still feels unease about it before moving backward,' Alright but I have my own thing because…I have Link other things on earth because I chose to live as a human.' Meanwhile back to Gem homeworld, Steven explains about Emerald Flygon's demise to Yellow Diamond,'…..and that's why they've perished in hands of malice years ago during Hero's Twilight.' Yellow Diamond responded,' All I can say is thank you Steven but let the flygon decide to be themselves but we make sure that they won't get corrupted by malice.' Blue Diamond also hopeful about it,' now we got them back even their memories are intact, but we have to decide then if they want to be themselves first.' Whit Diamond seems unresponsive,' It may be everyone but there is one thing that seems right.' Link is confused,' What do you mean White.' White responded, 'Rayqueza is feeling unease, I think this is Steven's task to do it.' Steven is determined before sensing Rayquaza aura before glowing and starts panicking,' Steven are you all right buddy.' Steven cliched his gem while hyperventilating,' Guys, I think he's having a panic attack, is it from him or Rayqueza.' White explains to Link,' Steven and Pink are empaths, they have the ability to channel emotions to one another.' Steven feels on his knees,' Get…..away…..'. His death screech breaks the columns. Link decides to take Steven with Crystal Gems,' I think he still feeling unease around here, I should hake him to Crystal Gems to cool him down.' Link slowing takes Steven to warp pad before growing horns, spikes and a tail,' Link this isn't me, is Rayqueza…..I think…something is wrong with him.'

The Emerald Knights downfall is a reference to the underrated Green lantern animated show. The green knight has no grudge against Steven because they have standards- lack of man-baby personal.
Steven's aggressive nature when his corruption is a for shadowing of what might happen in the next arc.
We still yet to have Maya and three but we still have one more reference to the underrated show from CN- Secret Saturday, why (hint-Rayqueza) and is coming up next.
