"Steven!" Pearl shouted as she ran towards him and the homeworld ship. Garnet, Amethyst and Thomas followed. "Holy smokes!" Amethyst shouted. "Are you alright? We came by warp pad to see if you ok." "Yeah, I'm okay. Lapis saved us" he said "But, it looks like Homeworld really has it out for Peridot". Peridot quietly moves away.
"Peridot…" Lapis said. Peridot's hair stands in shock as she turns around. "Are you okay?". Peridot smiled, Lapis blushed. Suddenly a hatch on the top of the homeworld ship opened."Barn now!" Garnet shouted and everyone headed in the barn.
When the hatch opened out came a ruby. But this ruby had only one eye, the other eye was where it's gem was. She jumped out a looked around. Another ruby jumps out of the ship and begins making fighting poses,this one had it gem in its arm.
Another ruby came out the ship, this time with it's gem was were its belly button would be. She gasps with excitement "What a lovely planet!" she says happily before walking ruby sticks her head out of the ship looking around nervously "Wait! So we just... get out and walk around? Whoa-!" she was pushed out revealing her gem on her leg.
The Last ruby jumped out the ship. This one had her gem in the middle of her chest and wore goggles and overalls. "Now, where's the Gem the scanners locked on to?" she asked looking around. The scanners appeared to be not working "Uh lets fan out and search the area." "You heard her rubies!" the one with the one eye said "Fan out!" the rubies all went out in different directions.
"Whoa, look at 'em all!" Steven said Sticking his head out behind the barn door. Peridot put her head above Steven's "I knew it. They're after me!" she says running back inside the barn "This is the end of the line!" "You really weren't kidding." Lapis said "I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod... to her face." Peridot explained.
"Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod." Pearl said brushing her off. "Yes." Peridot says "But not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to shatter me!" she then Hides under a box "Peridot, we won't let them get you." Steven Says Picking up the box. "That's it!" Thomas said
"What's it?" Steven asked "Peridot just has to go out there." "Eep." Peridot said said hiding under the boys again "You can't." she said "I refuse i'll be sent back to homeworld and shattered." "Not if they don't have a ship."
"What?" Peridot said getting out of the box. "Pearl projection please." Thomas said. Pearl nodded and projected a sreen thought her gem. Thomas put his hand around pearl gem into a tube. Turing the blank screen to a top-down view of the area with little dots.
"If Lapis and Peridot distract the rubies." that said showing a green dot moving with a blue dot. 5 little red dots moving towards them. "Then we can sneak up and take the ship." 4 other dot's one blue,one teal blue,one purple, and one red and blue. They moved on the right side of the barn. They moved towards the ship and dispersed. The ship started moving. "Then we'll force the to surrender." Thomas finished.
Pearl then ended her projection. "Thank you Pearl." Thomas said, taking his hands off her gem. Pearl just nodded. "Wait so you want us to go out there and distract those gems. So you can take their ship,and force them to give up!?" Lapis asked. "Yes." Thomas said.
"That's insane!" Lapis shouted "We don't even have any way to defend ourselves!" Peridot added. "Oh yes you do." Thomas said getting something from his back "You have this." Thomas said holding a blue bubble.
"My limb enhancers!" Peridot said existed. Lapis looked shocked. "I told you. You could have one we saved the world, and we did so here." Thomas said handing peridot the blue bubble. Peridot had stars in her eyes as she went to go put them on. Lapis watch in bewilderment.
"Lapis." Thomas said. Lapis looked at him "Sense Peridot is going to do most of the talking. Your need to do a signal. So we can know when to take the ship." "Uhh." She says not sure what to say. "Don't worry Lapis." Lapis looks down to see Steven.
"I'll make sure you'll don't get captured." he said holding Lapis' hand "Alright…" Lapis says "I'll do it." "That's the spirit." Thomas said before Turning to the other gems "Garnet,Amethyst,Pearl. Your with me. Pearl your behind me." "Alright." Pearl said nervously.
"Amethyst your be behind Pearl" "You got it." Amethyst said. "Garnet your bring up the back." Garnet gave a thumbs up. "And Steven." Thomas keeled down to be close to Steven's hight. "I need you to watch for Lapis' signal."
"Hm." Steven says with a serious face. "And if it gets bad out there." Thomas says putting his left hand on top of Steven's head "You can bet we'll need that shield" he the began to rub Steven's head. Steven chuckled.
"Aaand there. All done." Peridot said as she finished putting on her limb enhancers "How do I look?" she asked. "You look great." Lapis said looking away blushing. "Now." Thomas said "We need to cause a noise. So those rubies will notice the barn."
"On it." Amethyst said bringing out her whip. She hits it on a pile of can stacked up They fell making a loud banging noise. "What was that?" the one eyed ruby said. "I-It came from there." the leg ruby studerd.
"We should go check." the arm ruby said making a fighting pose. "We don't know what could be in there." the goggles ruby said "We should ask them to come out." "Hmm." The one eyed ruby said "All right! Come out with you hand up!" she shouted.
"Alright." Thomas said "That's you quae go-go-go.". Peridot and Lapis walked out with there hands up. "We surrender!" Peridot shouted. "Ah Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG and Lapis Lazuli. I should have known." The one eyed ruby said ."Yep it's us." Peridot says "Us and no one else." she said nervously. The rubies didn't seem to catch on.
"How did you get your limb enhancers back?" the one eyed ruby asked. "I uh… found them." Peridot said "Oh ok." the one eyed ruby said complete oblivious. "Now one question I have to ask." "of course what is it?" "Where is jasper?" the one eyed ruby asked. Lapis and Peridot both froze.
"Yellow Diamond specially wants her back." the one eyed ruby said "Now where is she?" "She uh…" "She just left!" Lapis said cutting off Peridot. "She went that way." Laips pointed north to the fields. "If you run you catch up with her.".
"Alright rubies!" the one eyed ruby shouted. "We go that way. Charge!" the one eyed ruby then ran north. The outher four rubies followed. Lapis looked back at the barn and nodded. "Uh." Steven said. "What is it?" Thomas asked "The rubies just sorta ran away."
"What?" Thomas said walking over to the barn door. He looked outside and saw Peridot and Lapis standing buy there ship, not a ruby in sight. "Oh." Thomas said. He then walked out the of the barn, with the others following.
"What happened?" Thomas asked. "They wanted to know were jasper was." Peridot said "Lapis said she went that way and they all ran." "Oh I see." Thomas said surprised "Well done Lapis. I knew it be good to keep you around." Lapis smiled.
"Now." Thomas said clapping his hands together "Let's get in that ship." he pointed to the hatch that was still open. Thomas then started climbing into the hatch. "Hey!" the gems looked over to see the one eyed pointing at them. "Uh oh." Thomas said getting fully into the ship.
"They tricked us!" she shouted. The other rubies looked at her then at the Crystal gems. "Rubies fuse!" the one eyed ruby shouted. The other four rubies came up to her making a pyramid before fussing into a giant ruby.
"Thomas!" Garnet shouted. "Working on it!" Thomas counterd "Peridot how do I control this thing?" "Let me see." Peridot said bring up her screen. But all the came up was a glitchly mess. "Uh…"
"Never mind!" Thomas shouted "I'll just wing it." Thomas just started pushing Buttons as random. "Then we'll bide time." Garnet said. Her, Amethyst and Pearl spawned there weapons. They charged at the ruby, the ruby charges at them.
Pearl jumped up and dashed down. The ruby pushed her aside to the left of her. While she was distracted Garnet punched her in the face. The ruby was going to punch back. "Nope!" Amethyst shouted wrapping her whip around the rubies body.
"Let me go!" the ruby shouted. "Not gonna happen." Amethyst said. The ruby sigh's and unfused. In its place where the five rubies. The one eyed ruby was still sighing . The outher four rubies looked at her "Captain?" the goggle ruby said. The one eyed ruby just looked down.
"Uh Lazuli." Peridot said, Lapis looked backed at her "This doesn't change anything. Dose it? My limb enhancers I mean." Lapis looked up and down and stared at Peridot. "No." She finally said "It doesn't." Peridot smiled Lapis grinned.
"Yooo!" Amethyst shouted. She dragged the rubies, the one eyed ruby still looking down. "We got em." "Great!" Thomas shouted, still in the ship. The one eyed ruby looked up. "I think… there." Thomas said the ship engines started activating.
The Rubies were shocked. The one eyed ruby tried to break free. But couldn't, until she rebermerd something. Her weapon. She spawned it, a dagger. It fell down making just enough of a cut to get right arm free. With her right arm free she grabbed her dagger and cut the rest of her whip.
"Ah ha!" She shouted. The gems looked at her. Before anyone can do anything the one eyed ruby jumped into the hatch just as it closed. The ship then flew up. Thomas was focusing on the ships controls, sitting down. "You!" she said. Thomas looked away from the control panel.
"Uh… hello." Thomas said nervously. "I thought you were dead." The one eyed ruby said, squinting her one eye. "Oh I see." Thomas said getting up from the chair "How are you still alive?!" she yelled.
"Well there's a lot of things homeworld doesn't know." "Doesn't know!?" the one eyed ruby shouted "Well when my ship crash I-" "Ahhhhh!" the one eyed ruby screamed as she jumped a clinged onto Thomas' head.
Thomas then grabbed the one eyed ruby holding her with his right hand. "Look I don't want to hurt you." "Lies!" the eyed ruby then began to kick Thomas it the face. Until Thomas though her. "We can do things the easy way. Or the hard way." "Ahhhh!" the one ruby screamed again try to stab Thomas with her dagger. Thomas dodges spawns his arm cannon. "Hard way it is then." Thomas said grinning.
"Uh Garnet." Garnet looked at Amethyst and Pearl. "What are we gonna do about…" Amethyst pointed to the rubies, they were staring at the ship, not realising there untried. "Hmm." Garnet said putting her hand on her chin, thinking.
Before any of they could do anything Steven went up to the rubies. "Hey." he said the goggles ruby looked at him "What do you want?" she asked. "Nothing I just wanna say hi, Doc." Steven said "Doc?" the goggle ruby questioned,raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah Doc. I decided to give you a nickname. Sence you know, I can't call you all ruby." Steven explained. "What's my nickname?" Steven and Doc looked at the belly button ruby, who asked the question.
"Navy." Steven said "Oh what a wonderful name!" Navy said clapping her hands together.
"And mine?" The arm ruby asked "Army." "Hmm" Army said nodding eyes closed.
"A-a-and mine?" the leg ruby studded "Leggy" Leggy just smiled.
"Quiet!" Doc shouted "This is obviously a trick." "No -o. It not a trick." Steven said shaking his head. "Your just trying to get us to join you. So you can shatter us." Doc then stood up "But I won't let you. Rubies fuse!" Doc then go into the fusing position. Waiting for them to join her.
But they didn't.
"Huh?" Doc said confused. She turned around to the other rubies. They just stared at her. "Comeon fuse with me!" she shouted. Navy walked over to Doc to fuse. But got stopped by army's arm,she shocked her hand. Navy then stepped back.
"Fuse with me!" she shouted. The rubies looked at each other "No." army said nervously. "What do you mean no!?" Doc asked shouted. "We d-d-don't want to." Leggy said, shacking. "Why not!?" Doc demented.
"Because you not nice to them!" Doc turn around at Steven. She squinted at him "I'm not nice to to the!?" she shouted at him. "Yeah." he said leaning back. "Niceness is irreverent!" Doc then pointed at the rubies "I'm the second in command. There supposed to follow me the same way as the captain when she's gone!"
"When was the last time you have to take over as leader?" Steven asked. "Uh well…" Doc trailed out. She couldn't remember the last time she have to take command, if ever she did at all. "See." Steven putting his arm around doc.
"You don't know how to be a leader, let alone how to take over for a one in a crisis situation "Well what should I do?" Doc asked. "Well if your taking over as leader, especially in a crisis situation like think ,you should ask your team is doing." Doc just looked a Steven confused.
"Here." Steven brought Doc over to Navy "Ask Navy how she's doing and if she needs anything." Steven said "Ok." Doc said nervously "How are you… Navy." "I'm fine… Doc." Navy said awkwardly "Do you need anything?" "No… I'm fine." The two then stared at each each other.
"Good start." Steven said "Now do Army." Doc turn to army. "Army are you ok?" Doc asked, Army nodded "Do you need anything?" Army shook her head. Doc then turned to Leggy. "Aane uh… Leggy are you ok?"
"Y-y-yeah I am." Leggy studdard "Ok…" Doc said "Need anything?" "N-n-no." Leggy said. "Ok." Doc then turned back to Steven. "Now what should I do?" she asked Steven, Steven thought about it.
"Well you should explained things. So they know what's up." Steven said. Doc nodded at this "Ok rubies!" Doc said turning to the other three rubies "Are captain may be gone." She began "But were not! We can still win!" she that made a fusing position.
"Rubies fuse!" Doc shouted. The other rubies joined her a formed a cube. The fore then fused into a, smaller but still big mega ruby. "Oh… yeah." Steven said realizing what he did. The mega ruby got ready to push Steven, but stopped.
The mega ruby then looked at their hand, then at Steven, then back. "Are you… gonna beat me up?" Steven asked. The ruby just stared at him, the grabbed Steven and hugged him. The rubies then unfused.
Doc was still hugging Steven "Uh Doc… are you ok?" he asked "I'm…" Doc trails off, letting go of Steven "Fine. Thanks." "For what?" steven said "For teaching me to be a leader, of course." Steven put a hand behind his head "Uh no problem."
"Looks like you made some new friends." Steven looked back to see Garnet. "Uh… yeah." Steven said, not knowing how Garnet would say. "Good." Garnet said, smiling. Steven smiled back. "I need to borrow your phone." Garnet said.
"Uh ok." Steven said, taking his phone out of his pockets "Here." he handed it to Garnet. Thank you." Garnet said taking the phone out of Steven's hand. She went into to contacts and tapped the one named "Uncle. T" put the phone to her ear and waited.
While all of this was happening. Thomas and the one eyed ruby were fighting on the homeworld ship the hole time. Suddenly there was a ringing. The two looked around of the origins of the sound. Untel Thomas remembered something.
Thomas then pulled out a flip phone cell phone. The phone said that the call was from Steven. He flipped the phone and holded up to his nonexistent ear. "Hello." Thomas said. "Hello" Garnet said though the phone.
"Oh hey Garnet. How's it going?" Thomas asked "Fine. how are thing going with the ship?" "Uh…" Thomas look all around the ship. Seeing a lot of burn marks and stab holes. "Fine." "How about that ruby?" Garnet asked "AAAHHHHH!" the one eyed ruby shouted.
She jump a Thomas with her dagger Thomas dodged. Making the one eyed ruby stab the main control panel. Suddenly the was a loud beeping noise and red light began flashing. "I'm gonna have to call you back." Thomas said closing the phone.
Garnet was in shocked she brought Steven's phone in front of her. "Who did you call?" Steven asked. "Thomas." Garnet said. Before Steven could say anything they was a loud *BOOOOOOOM* sound.
Everyone looked up at the ship. It's was on hand the suddenly there was other *BOOM* and another and another. until the ship started falling down and crashed on its side sliding on a mile. Everyone ran over to it.
At the side of the burning ship there was a "BAAAANG* sound and another, and another. Till the hatch of the ship flew off, and out claimed Thomas. He fell on his face, as he was getting up there was a "AAAAHHHHH!" from the inside the ship.
The one eyed ruby jumped out at him with her dagger hand. Stabbing him in the back. "Ahhh!" Thomas cried. "Ha-ha!" she shouted, expecting Thomas to poof, but he didn't. "Huh?" the one eyed ruby said, confused.
She took out her dagger and stabbed Thomas again, but again nothing happened. "Wha… I don't… how?" she said in utter shock. "Surprise I didn't poof?" Thomas said getting up, knocking the one eyed ruby off him.
Thomas turned around and looked down. The one eyed ruby looked up at him, confused "How!?" she asked. "Well." Thomas put his hand on his chest "My body is made of metal." Thomas banged his hand on his chest twice. "Not light like yours. So my body's stronger."
But The one eyed ruby didn't say anything, she go on her knees started crying. Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven came up "Are you alright Thomas?" Garnet asked. "Yeah i'm fine. Nothing an hour of regeneration won't fix." Thomas said, he then looked down at the crying ruby.
"What are we gonna do about…" "Shhh." Garnet said cutting off Thomas "Just watch." Thomas did so and watched as Steven came up to the ruby. "Hey." Steven said, the one eyed ruby looked at him and then back down at the ground.
"Hey what's wrong Eyeball?" Steven ask. The one eyed ruby looked at him confused. "It's the nickname I gave you-" "Why?" Eyeball said inrupting Steven. "Why what?" Steven asked "Why are you taunting me!?" Eyeball shouted spawning her dagger.
"I-i'm sorry I didn't mean to upset-" "QUIET!" Eyeball shouted getting ready to stab Steven. But stopped and dropped her dagger "What's the point?" she said laying back down. "Uh captain?" Eyeball looked over to see Doc.
"Ruby!" Eyeball shouted getting up, uniting thoughts her. "How long will it take to repair the ship?" she asked hopefully. *BOOOOM* suddenly they was a large explosion, engulfing the ship in flames.
"Uh…" Doc trailed off not knowing what to say. "ahhh!" eyeball screamed "Uh c-c-captain are you ok?" both gems looked over to se Leggy followed by Navy and Army. "Gee i don't know The ship's on fire, were stuck on a planet with no way to contact homeworld and rebel gem's! I'M JUST PEACHY!" Eyeball shouted. Leggy started tearing up.
"Hey!" Doc shouted, Eyeball looked at her. "That's not how you deal with a crisis situation!" "How would you know what to do in a crisis situation!?" Doc looked at Steven "I had a little help." Steven smiled.
Later after lapis had begrudgingly put out the fire. Everyone was in circle. "So what you guys gonna do now?" asked Steven. "Well I don't know." Eyeball said. "You can stay here." Peridot said, Lapis looked at her.
"Really? Your let us stay here?" "Yeah." Peridot looked at Lapis "Lapis?" Lapis looked at Peridot and at the rubies. "Sure." was all she said. "Then it's settled." Thomas said in train mode backing up.
"You all stay hey and-Whoo" Thomas was quickly interrupted by him derailing and falling over "Ow.". "Are you ok." asked Pearl "Yes i'm fine Pearl." "What happened?" asked Peridot. "It's the track." Thomas said something into gem form.
"It hasn't been take care of well." "Hmm." Eyeball said "Well fix it then." she said. The other gems looked at her. "You don't have to do that." Thomas said. "It's the very least we could do." she then pointed at the rubies. "Rubies! Let's fix these rails!" the rubies then looked around for way to fix the track.
"Hey uncle Thomas." Steven said and them and Crystal gems head troughs the warp pad. "Yes Steven?" thomas asked looking at Steven. What was that that thing? My mom said about dealing with enemies."
Thomas looked at him confused. "At the warp hub you said mom had "the best way to deal with enemies" what was it?" "Oh!" Thomas said realising what he meant "It was to make them your friend Steven."
"Oh." Steven said "Do you think happy with me." he asked "I think seed be very proud." Garnet said, Steven smiled as the five gem warped away.
