52. Entry 52: The Beta Kindergarden

*Entry #52: The Beta Kindergarden

If you thought the Kindergarden from before was frightening, you wouldn't believe the fact that I had found the Beta Kindergarden. It was a second Kindergarden, but apparently, it was a pathetic site to grow Gems. It was built in a rush job to combat the Crystal Gems, but without the proper environmental conditions, the Gems that came out of there were freaky and made poorly. But in a one-in-a-million chance, there was one Gem that was made perfectly there, Jasper. That's right, the same Jasper who attacked Earth and fused into Malachite with Lapis Lazuli. After separation, she's been using the exit holes at the Beta Kindergarden to cage up an army of corrupted Gems for her to tame and use against her enemies. But with the combined might of Steven, Amethyst, and Peridot, she was defeated, but not before making a big mistake that costed her everything. For a brief moment, Jasper fused with a corrupted Gem, but when they separated, she became infected and turned into a corrupted monster like the others. Thankfully, they managed to poof and bubble her before she hurt them.
