After an uneventful journey the group arrived at the zoo. It was a verdickle gem looking structure the was light pink. In the middle was was a ring, evening above that turns into a spire.
"There it is." Eyeball said looking over structure "The human zoo. I can't believe it still exists." Pearl said "Dad's gotta be in there." Steven said "We just have to find him and bust him out."
The S. S. Resistance then entered the zoo via its ring. The groupe noticed the two Amethyst guards next to a door. "Those Gems." Amethyst mudderds to herself "Amethyst guards. Right, like we could just waltz up as an ownerless Pearl, a fusion and, and you." Pearl said
"We just need disguises." Steven said "I'll be Esteban Universidad." "Steven, it doesn't matter what your name is. We're all going to stand out." Pearl said as Garnet unfuses into Ruby and Sapphire.
"We won't stand out if we play the roles we were made for." Sapphire said "Ruby! Sapphire!" Steven said excitedly. "Okay, everybody. Hear her out." Ruby said.
"Today, I'm a Sapphire traveling with my squad of Ruby guards and my personal Pearl to deliver a message." Sapphire said "Esteban, I've brought you as an offering for the zoo."
"Pobrecito Esteban!" Steven said. "Uhh, what about us?" Amethyst asked pointing to Jasper "You two are accompanying me as extra muscle." Sapphire explained.
"Muscle like them?" Amethyst asked. "Exactly." Sapphire answered "But I've never even seen another Amethyst before." Amethyst said "What do I do? What if I say something wrong?"
"Just look the part." Sapphire said "You're new and we're rusty, but we just have to sell this long enough to find Greg.". "What about uncle Thomas." Steven asked
Sapphire looked like she had a phase of disbelief "Don't worry." Thomas said "I know exactly what I'm going to do." He the kicked the back to of the ship dropping the panel.
"I'm going to hide in here, and if you need me just give me a knock." Thomas said crawling into the cresivse name and closing the panel. "Is this really going to work?" Pearl asked.
"No." Sapphire said. Everyone gasps in unison "Just stick together." Sapphire quickly says "Play it straight. Let's change the future." And with that the groupe walk out of the S. S. Resistance towards the guarded door.
"You'll never cage me, you rockheads!" Steven said to pretend to resist. The groupe then arrived next to the guards. Amethyst groans as they approach "State your purpose." One of the guards said
"I'm here to make a delivery to the human zoo." Sapphire said "Bad news. The human zoo shut down." The guard explains "Which means we'll just have to throw you in space."
Steven Whimpers at this "Heh, look. He believed me." The guard said "both guards the start laughing in unison. Another blue gem with horn hair and her gem on her back entered entered the room.
"What are you doing?" She asked "Nothing, Holly Blue Agate." The guards said. Holly Blue Agate then notices that Sapphire is here and gasps
"Why didn't you tell me there was a Sapphire here?" Holly Blue asked "What have you miscreants been saying to them!?" "Nothing, Holly." The outer guard said. Holly Blue then looked looked at Sapphire "You'll have to forgive them. They're from Earth."
Holly blue the looked back at the guards "Ahem! Apologize." She demanded. "Forgive us!" The Amethyst guards said in unison, Holly Blue then punches them to say it correctly. "Forgive us, your Clarity!" They said again.
"No use dwelling on the past." Sapphire said, she the turner to steven "I've brought a new human for the collection, as well as a megage." Sapphire explained.
"How unprecedented!" Holly Blue said looking at Steven "Nothing for millennia, and then two humans back to back! Well, it's probably for the best, that first one wasn't in the best condition."
Steven Gasps "Dad! That's him!" He shouted before being sghd by ruby
"Ohh, their incessant barking. What is it saying?!" Holly Blue said before Laughing "The other one was loud, too, and all that thrashing about. I'm sure Blue Diamond would want to thank you personally, but you just missed her."
Holly blue the pointing to the Amethyst guards Amethyst, take this human to the -" "Wait!" Sapphire yelled intruding Holly Blue She looked back at her "The thing is we've traveled so far, and it would be a shame to leave so quickly. Perhaps you'd grant us a tour of the facility?" She asked
"I would be honored! Right this way, your Grand Clarity." She said before Stopping Amethyst "Amethysts are to stay and guard the door. "Uhh, but-" Amethyst began but was interrupted by Holly Blue "The door."
"I better stay her to."jasper said "To teach there grunts to stay in line.". Eyeball gave a panic looked at this but Jasper gas a 'you got this' look at her
Holly blue nodded and the rest of group minus went to tour the facility.
About ten minutes Jasper and Amethyst were still getting the door with the other two Amethyst guards. Thomas was also still hiding in a ship "I hope there ok." Thomas said before realising something.
He looked on her person for something and stopped when he found what he was looking for, a letter. On it was the message to Blue Diamond on it.
"Daaaw!" He shout putting his hand on his face, "Guess I gotta give it to them." And with the kicked the panel off he looked around. When no one was there he opened the stairs.
He saw Jasper and Amethyst giving him nervous looks, behind them were the two Amethyst guards looking around on the other side of the door.
"I don't see anything." The first guard said "Uhhh that way." Amethyst said pointing to the right "I just saw it again. You two better go after it." The two guards nodded and matched off.
When they were gone Amethyst gave Thomas a thumbs up. Thomas then walked over to the pair. "Thanks." He said before being punched in the face by Jasper.
"What were you thinking!" She shouted "Shhhh!" Thomas said "I need to give this the Sapphire" he said holding up the ladder "it's the message for Blue Diamond." He Whispered. " Oh ok." Jasper said.
"Which way did they go." He asked "Uhh." They both said in unison. Thomas sighted "Nevermind, I'll just guest." And with that That looked out the door.
"Hey you!" A voice said, Thomas looked right and saw the Amethyst guards. He quickly rand staring straight "Stop!" The other guard shouted casing after then.
By the time they had got to the door, Thomas was long gone. "Why didn't you stop him." The first guard asked "Uh." Amethyst said was her form began to morph and she turned back to her Normal form. The Amethyst guards the holstiley approached the pair "Uh oh".
Thomas counting running until he knew the guard couldn't track his, he then looked around to see where he was "Why does all of this look the same?" He asked himself and continued walking.
He passed a three way to the right. The right was dark, so Thomas Desiree to continue straight. "So Rose Quartz Facet-2T6P Cut-9JX, we meet again." A voice said.
Thomas stopped, he remembered that voice. He looked back to see the gem in question "Holly Blue Agate, I should have known." He said. Holly Blue Agate "As don't look at be like that, I know you miss me."
"Yeah I totally miss my institute to put me in the worst part of my life." Thomas said. "Now don't be like that." She said. "I'm guessing one of those Amethyst Guard told I was here."
"Actually it wasn't for one of those rubies that told me." Holly Blue explained "Of four one one of those Beta idiots found you and didn't tell me. You were only good thing thing that came from earth."
Thomas scoffed as Holly blue clawed her whip "Blue Diamond is heading back this way." She explained "She'll be so happy with your return."
"Well that's a shame." Thomas said spawning his arm cannon "Because you won't be to tell her." And with that Thomas shot at Holly Blue, cause her to take a knee.
Thomas then ran away he kept running away, until her form an observatory room. He was destructed by the zoo he ran right into Pearl, her and everyone else were there left there by Holly Blue Agate.
"Thomas what are you doing her!?" Eyeball asked "I forgot to give that here are to Blue Diamond." Thomas said getting up "But I way found out buy Holly Blue Agate.
"R-R-Really?" Leggy studdard " Yes, in fact she said one of radded me out.". Everyone gasp "Uh guys." Navy said looking down at the zoo
"B-But how where were all here." Eyeball said "Guys." "Well apparently not." "Guys!" Navy yelled for the last time "What!?" Both Thomas and Eyeball yelled at the same time.
Navy just pointed down at the zoo. Everyone looked down to see Greg and Steven being pulled out of the zoo buy the twi Amethyst guard form before.
Thomas sighed "Ok I was never here. I'm going go after them" and with that Thomas ran out of the other side of the room after those guards.
Transition
Thomas had been following the Amethyst to were her was just our side the room were the guard had taken Steven and Greg, the Quartz guards fill the room with intimidating laughter two for them were rest Amethyst and Jasper "Steven! Greg! They found me out!" Amethyst said
"Amethyst! Jasper!" Steven said consernly "You won't believe what we've been through. These Amethysts, they're really, really-" but before Amethyst could finished what she was saying, Thomas slid out the doorway arm cannon pointed at that Amethyst holding
"Let them go." He said angrily. The Amethyst looked surprised and Runs, the one holingbAmethist drops her by accident. "Great they're Great!" Amethyst quickly said running over to Thomas
"What?" Thomas said putting his arm cannon. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I had to!" Amethyst said chuckling, she then turned back to Steven and Greg "What are you guys wearing?" She asked "Greg! This is a good look for you.
"Whats going on?" Steven asked confused. "These Amethysts, they're all from Earth!" Amethyst explained "They're from the Prime Kindergarten!" She then realised something "Wait! Hey, 8XL!" She asked turning to an random Amethyst
"Yeah?" 8XL said " You guys, I'm an 8! Tell 'em. Tell 'em!" "The Amethyst under me never popped out. We're all waiting, and - pfft - nothing." "I'm 8XM! Facet-5, Cut-8XM - that's me!" Amethyst said before pointing to other Amethyst "This is 8XG, this is 8XH."
"I'm J." Another amethyst said "Ah, geez! Sorry! I'm worse than Holly Blue!" "Aren't we all?' 8XJ countered, everyone burst into laughter at this. A gem that looks like Jasper began to talk "Prime, prime, prime. You Amethysts are so cliquey." She said.
"Skinny's a Jasper!" Both Amethyst and Jasper said "yeah there also Gems here from the Beta Kindergarten, too!" Jasper said "Hey, where's Carnelian?" Amethyst asked
"Celebrating." Skinny said "I'm not the shortest anymore!" A small little red gem, Carnelian said. She picked up Amethyst and ran around the room while they both laughed.
"This is so unreal." Greg said looked over the situation "Hey! Please, if you don't mind me asking, we really need your help." We came in with Sapphire, couple of rubies, and Pearl. We've gotta find them and get them out of -"
Suddenly the Door behind valley opens opens. "I'll only be a moment." Holing blue said looking away as Steven, Greg and Thomas quickly hide "What are you all doing in here?!" She asked Turning back to the Amethyst.
"Get to your stations! Even you hideous off-color Betas! Get out of your cubbies and into your places! It's the least you can do for the Diamond that kept you worthless, sorry Gems in service! That's right. Blue is back already! Now go pretend your filthy vein of Quartz is capable of gratitude! Go, go, go!"
The Quartz guards run out with Steven and Greg and Thomas sneaking behind their backs." "Disperse! My Diamond is waiting!" Holly ble shouted "Run! Just run! I'll find you! Go!" Amethyst said.
"This way." Thomas whispered in a passage. Steven and Greg entered a linker room with gems in bubbles all around the roomSteven "Who bubbled all these Gems?" Steven asked "Wow! It's kind of like a birthday party in here." Greg added "So this is where they all went." Thomas said
Suddenly, Steven begins to tear up "*Gasps* Oh, no! We gotta hide!" "Huh?" Greg said before Thomas picking him up and and he and Stove hide behind a pole as someone in her to room.
Thomas looked behind a column to see show what he was fearing, Blue Diamond. "Pearl, close the door." She said before sighing, she then removes her hood and begins to tear up. The door suddenly opened and second gem Thomas feared to see, Yellow Diamond enters.
"Please tell me you're joking." She said "You only just left, and you're already back?". "Yellow! W-what are you doing here?" Blue Diamond asked "I'm here to bring you back to reality, Blue." Yellow Diamond said.
"I'm fine. Just leave me alone." Blue Diamond said "It's been thousands of years, Blue, and you still can't bring yourself to destroy these Gems?" Yellow Diamond asked "She was shattered by a Rose Quartz! The entire cut of Gem deserves the same fate!"
"But they were hers." Blue Diamond said "They should be wiped out of existence, not kept safe in bubbles!" "Yellow, she made them. This is all we have left of her. These Gems, this place, and the Earth."
"I thought we agreed we need to put that planet and this whole debacle behind us." Yellow Diamond said. "Why can't you just let me grieve?" Blue Diamond asked "You can't keep coming here forever!" Yellow Diamond shouted
"Why not?" Blue Diamond asked. Yellow Diamond just Sighed "Pearl, do something. Sing for her. Make her feel better." "Yes, my Diamond." Yellow Pearl said "Ahem." She then turns to Blue Pear "Ahem!"
Blue Pearl looked at her "Uh... oh." She said and with that Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl begin to harmonize as in a alowal tone,
Aah haa haa, aah haa haa, aah ha aah ha, aah haa haa, aah haa haa, aah haa haa, aah haa haa haa haa haa haa haa haaaaa'
Yellow Diamond began to pace around and sing
Why would you want to be here? What do you ever see here that doesn't make you feel worse than you do? And tell me, what's the use of feeling, Blue?
Why would you want to employ her subjects that destroyed her?
Yellow Pushes away bubbles with her hands
Why keep up her silly zoo? Oh, tell me! What's the use of feeling, Blue? An army has a use. They can go and fight a war. A Sapphire has a use. She can tell you what it's for. An Agate terrifies. A Lapis terraforms. Where's their Diamond when they need her, Blue? You've got to be a leader, Blue! Yes, of course, we still love her, and we're always thinking of her. But now, there's nothing we can do, so tell me!
Pearls and Yellow Diamond began to sing.
What's the use of feeling? What's the use of feeling? What's the use of feeling, Blue? Ohh!
Yellow Diamond raches out her hand, and both Pearls step onto it
How can you stand to be here with it all?
The Pearls then sang
Here with it all!
The Pearls and Yellow Diamond began to sing
Drowning in all this regret? Wouldn't you rather forget her? Ohh!
Yellow Diamond just sang.
Won't it be grand to get rid of it all?
The Pearls
Rid of it all!
Pearls and Yellow Diamond as Yellow Diamond Waves her hand over quickly so every bubble moves swiftly
Let's make a plan of attack! Start looking forward and stop looking back!
Yellow Diamond Kneels down and holds Blue Diamond's hands
Oh, yes, of course, we still love her, and we're always thinking of her. Don't you know I miss her, too? (Looks away) But tell me. What's the use of feeling? What's the use of feeling? (Walks to the side of the stairs, grabbing it with one hand and bowing down) What's the use of feeling?[Humming] Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm...
Blue Diamond then walks over and places a hand to her back to comfort her ass The music ends and Steven, Greg and Thomas made it near the exit, but then the door opens. And Holly Blue, the rubies and Sapphire walk through.
Holly Blue "And we have arrived." Holly Blue said she then turned to Pearl "That will be all, Pearl." With that Pearl walks away, as the groupe they get closer. Holly bows. "My Diamond. My gracious, wondrous, luminous, lustrous Diamond." She said before looking up , seeing Yellow Diamond and gasps "Oh, my! It's truly an honor to bask in your radiance... ses?"
"Get to the point, Agate." Yellow Diamond said bluntly Holly Blue is surprised by this outburst and clears her throat" Yes, of course. My deepest apologies. You'll be pleased to know that your Sapphire has a message.
Blue Diamond turns to face the group "A message?" She said confused
Holly Blue yes, the Sapphire you sent to Earth, of course. "I never asked any Sapphire to go to Earth." Blue Diamond said in Serious tone.
"I... Um…" Sapphire trailed off as The floor below her begins to freeze up.
"Oh, no! She's freezing up!" Steven said worridely. Ruby holds Sapphire's hand behind her for comfort. "My... future vision foresaw you, my Diamond, desiring more... humans for the zoo," Sapphire explained "so I... acted accordingly."
Blue Diamond Looks down at her "It's true. The window for preserving Earth specimens is closing." "Phew." Both steven and Thomas said in relieve.
Yellow Diamond then turned to To Blue Diamond "Is that what you want?" Blue Diamond nodded. Yellow Dismounted then turn back to To Sapphire "Sapphire, has the Cluster emerged yet?" She asked her.
"No, it has not." "Then there's still time. That will be all. " Yellow said begin to clap her hands "Wait!" Blue Diamond said stopping her, she then turns to Sapphire.
"You said there was a message. May I see?" She asked "Of cluster." Sapphire said looking for it, she grew panicked when she couldn't find "I appeared to had lost it." Sapphire said nervously begging to freeze up again.
Yellow Diamond looked sapinsley at her. Thomas looked in his hand and to he's shock he realised the that he still hat the letter "I still have the message." He said before face Palming.
"What do we do?" Steven asked, "I don't know." Thomas answered. "Uh guys." Greg said pointing the other direction. The two look that direction to see Blue Pearl staring at them confused.
Thomas quickly acks and and points the the rubies and Sapphire and and then at them. Blue Pearl nodded understandably. Thomas then pointed to the ladder and at the groupe.
Blue Pearl pulled out her screen and drew a circle. Thomas nodded and made bubble around the letter and floated down the to Blue Pearl. CUh my Diamond." She before said popping the bubble.
Blue and Yellow Diamond look back. Blue Pearl holed up and pointed at the letter "Is that your massage?" Blue diamond asked Sapphire. "Yes, yes it is." Saffie said.
"Alright, is that it then?" Yellow asked a little bit annoyed, Sapphire nodded quickly. "Alright now that will be all." And Yellow Diamond Claps twice.
Holly Blue Bows "My Diamonds." She said exiting along with the rubies and Sapphire Steven, Greg, and Thomas also escape the room with an unknowing Agate, who is relieved that all went well.
"Two Diamonds?! I can't believe it!" Holly ble said, she theturned to Sapphire "Can you believe it? Oh, well, of course, you can. You probably foresaw the whole thing." "Of course! No surprises here." Sapphire said a lit neviosly.
Holly Blue continued totaled with Amethyst and Jasper rjoined the groped And Steven, Greg and Thomas were behind them. Holly bule was still tackled as Thomas boarded the ship and Steven and Greg were boarding.
"I don't think anything could spoil this for me." Holly Blue finished she then notices Steven and Greg, who laugh nervously. "What... is... the meaning of this?!" She yelled askes. The Quartz guards suddenly appear in the doorway.
"Why are these two outside the containment area?!" She demanded turning to the Amethyst. "Holly Blue, I can explain." Sapphire began "No need, your clarity." Holly Blue says Turning back "Not even you could have foreseen how incompetent these Amethysts are."
She then summons her whip "Well, if you want something done right, you just do it yourself. You two are coming with me!" And she launches the whip at Steven and Greg. But before it could get the m
"Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet, and she catches the whip's tail. Holly Blue and the Quartz guards gasp at seeing this "Garnet!" Steven and Greg yell excitedly. Garnet "Steven, get Greg on board!"
"Yes, please!" Greg said is a relieved tone and hmi, Steven, and the rubies get on board. "We'll handle this noise." garnet said Pearl then slices the whip in half, and Amethyst and Jasper spin dashed to wrap it around Holly Blue, being cheered on by the Quartz guards as then did so.
"I've been waiting to do this all day." Garnet said spawning her gault ready to punch her but she decided not to and punched her in the stomach with her normal hand instead.
The Quartz Gems laughed at this. "What are you doing?! They're traitors! Destroy them!" Holly blue demanded. But instef the Quartz guards All waved said their goodbyes. Amethyst gave Smooches "Famethyst for life!" She yelled and her and japer bored the ship
"I'll report you to the Diamonds! All of you! You'll all be shattered!" Pearl then walked up "You're really gonna tell the Diamonds that you allowed a band of traitorous rebels to infiltrate a highly secure facility and escape from right under your careful watch?" She asked
Pearl then Inhales sharply "Doesn't sound like a wise thing to do, Holly Blue. So do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut. That will be all." And with Bows and bored the ship filled by Garnet, Steven also claps twice for Pearl.
Holly Blue groans in misery while the Quartz Gems continue to laugh at her. And The Crystal Gems fly off back toward Earth in the S. S. Resistance."Thanks so much for coming to get me." Greg said "That has to be, like, the third craziest weekend I've ever had."
"Dad, I'm really sorry I got you into all this." Steven said "This whole thing started 'cause I wanted answers." "You don't have to be sorry about a thing." Greg countered "I hope you found what you were looking for."
"I did. I found you." Steven said and the two hug. "No then." Thomas said facing Eyeball "Have you found out who's the traitor." He asked.
Eyeball looked surprised, she had completely forgot about the rubies. She shook her head. Steven then noticed something "When Navy." He asked.
Suddenly a white line passes in front of the ship everyone loses out the window to to see Navy, wearing a jetpack. She pulled out her left output sticked out her tongue and flew away, back to the zoo.
"Should we go after her?" Steven asked. The gems look at each other "No I think we're be find." Thomas said "Anything she tell then they Already know.
And with that they warped away.
"Pearl what dot that the message say?" Blue diamond asked. Yellow Diamond had to leave for homeworld business. So yellow diamond is left alone in the Rose Quartz room.
Blue Pearl opened the letter to began to read.
Dear, Blue Diamond

But that's not what if her to wrist this yell about. No im afraid there something you've never been told. For you see the other diamonds have been living about what really happened to pink diamond.
If you want to know what really happened, sent an ship tell then to look for "Number one." And I will come with then and revile all.
Sensearly
Thomas. T. Tankengine
Blue Diamond was shocked buy what her Pearl had read. Could it be true? Could Yellow have being lying to her all times year? And in that case what about Whi-
Before she could thing earlier. Holly Blue inter the room alone with navy "My Diamond I have terrible news." She said "Some for your humans have escape."
"Yes I know." Blue Diamond said "There was nothing I could- what what?" Holly Blue said confused "I know and I I'm no going to pushing you." Blue Diamond explained.
"Oh thank you-thank you my Diamond!" Holly Blue she said bowing. Blue diamond then noticed Navy "Oh, And who is this?" She asked
"Oh this is the ruby who told my about the traitors." Holly blue explained. Navy looked abashed as Blue diamond picked her up "Do you have a name, Ruby?" She asked.
"Navy." Navy blurted out "Well navy I think you deserve a promotion." Ble daimaid said "I get to be captain of my own squared?" she asked "Well sort of."
Blue dismount then uncolied her hand and touch navy's uniform her her other, turning it blue "You with say here in the zoo and be Holly Blue Agate.
"What?" Both gem said in confusion Thought I said I wouldn't punish you, Holly Blue, it's clear they you need some help." Blue Diamond explained her then kneeled down and put navy down.
"Navy is the perfect opportunity for the." And with that Blue dismount got back up, grabbed her began to leave the room "Good day Holly Blue." She said leveling the room to her ship.

The Amethyst were in there room laughing and talking about the situation then had accrued. Holly ble then entered the room, but paid her no mind.
"Quartz!" She shouted. The Amethyst looked at her, holly blue then turned to Navy "This is navy, she is my new assistance." She explained.
"I'll leave you all to get situated." And Holly ble quickly exited the room, Leaving Nay and the Quartz guard alone.
"Uhh." Navy began "hello-" before for She could finish she was dog piled by the Amethyst "AHHHHHH!" She screamed trying to get free. But it was no use, this was her life now, ofpr until someone explosive arrives.
