It had been a few weeks Since thomas returned beach city,he had pretty much meat all of the resident's and they pretty much accepted him, but right now he was in the house with the rest of the Crystal Gems because Garnet had called a meeting
"We need to track down Peridot we found her pod ,we know she's out there somewhere. She came to Earth with a job to do and, odds are she's still gonna try to do it. That's why I've gathered you here." "I thought it was so you can help me fold all this laundry" Steven said pointing to a massive pilot of laundry.
"That too, the chore wheel idea you had fell apart fast." Garnet admitted as she looks over to the fridge where the chore wheel was. All five name spots had been crossed and replaced with Pearl ,except for Pearl's spot. "I just really enjoy doing all of those things" pearl said nearly "It's better if we do this together, as a team." Thomas said .
"Humans should just stop wearing clothes, be a lot funnier" amethyst said annoyed she'd had to fold. "Hey! I'm a civil-i-fied part human, thank you very much clothing is a must" steven said before he thought for something "this is a lot, I bet this folding would go faster if Ruby and Sapphire were here!" Steven said excitedly. Garnet looked at him.
"I'm sure they'd be glad to see you Steven. But I am not unfusing for laundry." "AWWW" Steven said disappointedly "Do you think Peridot will come looking for us Garnet" Thomas asked worried "We weren't her priority, she was sent here to do something in the Kindergarten." " what if she's going to try to reactivate it?" Pearl asked concerned "If she gets it back up and running, the injectors will turn back on"
"Injectors? What're those?" asked Steven confused "You've already seen them" pearl said showing a hologram of what the look like "Well, you've seen them disabled. If Peridot reactivates them they'll pick up right where they left off, planting Gems in the crust of the Earth, where they'll incubate and suck the life right out of the ground. We can't let Peridot restart Gem production here, if we do, the entire planet will become…" "Janked" Thomas said finishing pearl sentence with a face of despair.
"Whoa Big T watch that mouth" Amethyst said as garnet put a hand on Thomas right shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll stop her c'mon Crystal Gems." With that Garnet ran to the worp pad with Thomas following close behind "coming!" shouted pearl "Well, As long as we don't have to fold anything." amethyst said as they both heading after them,leaving steven to fold all the laundry. "Steven!" shouted Garnet Steven looked back "That means you too" Thomas said. Steven then ran to the warp pad making a serious stance "You are a civilified part-gem too after all." Gannet said while rubbing his hair "are you two sure we should bring Steven?" pearl asked concerned "This might be dangerous." "Don't worry Pearl I'm shear we can handle this." Thomas said not really reassuring pearl "Peridot's got nothing we can't handle." Garnet addend before they warped away.
At the kindergarten pearl was using her gem as a flashlight to look for anything active. "Well, nothing looks activated." she observed "In fact, it doesn't look like anything's budged since the last time we were here." "You're right." said Garnet "But just because Peridot hasn't been here yet, it doesn't mean she won't come." "Hm." steven said thinking "Let's do a thorough check of the perimeter." added Thomas "Mmhm." "That way, we can monitor any future entry." "Hmm, sounds good to me!" with that Steven went off by himself, intel he heard someone
"Log date 6-5-2." Steven looked over to where the voice was coming from to see a hold out came Peridot on a green elevator like contraception. "This is Peridot, updating status. Still stuck on this miserable planet, the fusion experiments are developing properly. A few have even emerged early-eep" Peridot stop when she saw Steven "Are the other ones with you?" Peridot asked. Steven shakes his head, then nods, then shrugs "Of course! Why not" Peridot said annoyed "Peridot!" peridot looked over to see Garnet,Amethyst,Pearl and Thomas. "There she is!" Pearl said pointing at Peridot.
"Eeep" Peridot said running away "Nowhere to go!" Amethyst shouted "You're cornered!" Pearl added they cornered Peridot before she that climbed the wall. "Hey! I can't do that!" said Steven annoyed "Neither can she!" Pearl said throwing a spear. Peridot ducked "Ha! Missed!" the Speer hits a Injector bringing it down knocking Peridot off before it hits the ground with a crash.
"Do you think she's hurt?" asked Steven ,Peridot then emerges from the ruble and flees. "Nope!" Amethyst said before tethering Peridot with her whip,Peridot then generates an electrical current ,she then electrifies the whip with the tip of her fingers "Whoa! Hot whip!" Amethyst said as she let go of the whip
"You Crystal Clods! Go ahead Wreck this place! See if I care,I already got what I needed!" Peridot said running way "Get back here!" Pearl shouted running after her. Peridot then user her fingers as helicopter ballads racing from the ground "Your not getting way that easily" thomas shouted as he morphed into train form heading for a rock "Thomas what are you doing!" Pearl asked frantically "The same thing I always do Pearl" Thomas said "being really usefullll!" Thomas shouted as launched off the rock veering right almost hitting Peridot. But missed flipped 180 degrees and crashed into the side of the kindergarten,with Peridot of escaping.
"I'm gonna bop her good!" Amethyst said angrily "I'll help!" Pearl said. With that they went after Peridot with Steven running after them before being stopped by Garnet ."Hold on Steven." she said before looking up "you alright up there Thomas!" she shouted. Thomas still in train form dropped down landing on his wheel before saying "yeah I'm fine." a little sad like. "Hey it's ok." Garnet said reassuringly "It's your first mission back, your not gonna do 100% after being gone so long." Thomas did not respond "What do we do now?" asked steven.
"If Peridot's mission was to reactivate the Kindergarten, the injectors would be on. Look" Garnet said pointing to them "They're not." "Oh" Steven realizing what she meant "Let's see what she was actually doing." "you coming uncle Thomas" asked Steven "No Steven I need to regenerate a little bit before I can the back into gem form" he said Steven then noticed the multiple scuffs in paint and almost broken off left front buffer.
Before Steven could say anything because Garnet lifted the collapsed Injector "Down here." Steven was amazed "Oh! You're brains and brawn! The whole package!" he said before high fiving garnet "Thank you!" "Is it cause you're a fusion?" "I have to keep some of my secrets." "Aw, please I wanna know!" Garnet just chuckled as she'd jumped in the hole with Steven following.
After a few minutes Thomas had regenerated enough to turn into gem form he jumped down the hole Garnet and Steven what he found shocked him. A pillar on the ceiling exploded, revealing a strange gem. Four silhouettes fused together at the waist screaming trying desperately to pull themselves away from the fusion, but fail. With a final scream, the silhouettes glitches and turns into a amamlation of arms and legs.
"Uh, Garnet. What do we do?" asked not noticing Thomas Steven spawning his shield to fend off the more of the gem monsters appearing "Ugh!" Garnet shouted as the big gem monster grabbed her, her glasses falling off in the process. "These were Crystal Gems." Garnet said "shattered into pieces." Thomas added "They were buried together" the both said at the same time
"Why aren't you two moving!?" Steven asked noticing Thomas "They were forced together. They were forced to fuse! This is wrong! I'm sorry." Garnet said before she started to unfused "No, Garnet, you're coming undone! Garnet! Garnet!" Steven shouted trying to get garnet attention "Thomas help her!" he shouted but Thomas just stood there "Garnet! Please, what's the matter?! This isn't like you!" with those finale words Garnet regained control pushed back the gem monster pulling back the on the spots were the gem is before I poofed.
"We did it!" shouted Steven as Garnet bubbled the gem "Garnet?" ".So this is what Homeworld thinks of fusion!" Garnet said in a angry voice "We couldn't have known they would do this…" Garnet said again this time is a sad voice "This is where they've been. All the ones we couldn't find. They've been here the whole time!" "Rose couldn't have known." "This is punishment for the rebellion!" "It's not our fault!" Garnet right eye started sodding.
Thomas walked over to where garnet was he stared at the bubble gem and started to cry as well. "Thomas Garnet please!" Steven shouted knocking them both out of there transes. Garnet then sent the gem bubble the temple "St-Steven? Thomas? what what happened?" Before either of them could respond the was a "Yo!" on the other side of the room as Amethyst entered the room followed by Pearl.
"We're back!" "We lost Peridot. Her fingers were too fast for us" Pearl said. One of the "fusions" claimed on Amethyst, Pearl grabbed it off her. "What are these things?" Pearl asked "Put them down!" Thomas shouted "Wha-" she said as she thought it off to the side " We need to poof and bubble all of them. We can't let any escape!" Garnet said as she punched the on Pearl though
Later after all of the laundry had been sorted Garnet went back to her room she cragged the bubble of the big "fusion". "Hello Garnet." Garnet looked back to see Thomas "how'd you get in here!?" she asked. "I builder this place remember. You think I Wouldn't know how to get here?" "fair enough,why are you here them?" "I came to see if your alright" Garnet just turned back around. "I'm fine" Thomas then put a hand on Garnet's right shoulder.
"It's okay" "No it's not!" shouted Garnet turning back around "look at this. These are our comrades turned into something strange that they don't understand like,like." "Like me." Thomas said Garnet looked at him. "I-im sorry I didn't mean to-" she was cut off by Thomas hugging her. "It's okay!" Thomas said again "Were get thought, I promise." "Thank you." Garnet said embracing him. "Athought." Thomas said looking at the bubbled gem "I can't help like I've seen something like this somewhere before."
