Insert Opening
Alex meditates peacefully in the living room. She hears the ward pad activates and smiles slightly.
She opens her eyes and the Gems standing on the ward pad.
Amethyst is caring a big egg and Garnet is covered in feathers.
As soon as Alex sees Garnet covered in feathers she starts to smirk.
"I see you try to become a bird, Garnet or is this your new style?" She says laughing.
Garnet chuckles slightly, "Hello to you too, Alex." She says ruffling her hair.
"Amethyst, we do not need that! It's not going to fit in the fridge!" Pearl scolds looks at Amethyst who´s putting the big egg into the fridge.
"Where is Steven?" Garnet asks her.
"Oh, he will be here in... three...two...one-"
Steven enters the house" Guys, you back!" He cheers.
"There he is," Alex says grinning at Garnet.
"You have future vision or something?" Garnet jokes.
"Maybe," Alex says.
"We fought a giant bird. We're only here for a second, we've got to go back out." Pearl says.
"What? Why?" Steven asks.
Pearl shows him a statue." We have to place this Moon Goddess Statue on the top of the Lunar Sea Spite before midnight. Without it, the whole place will fall apart! Oh, Steven, Alex, you should have seen the spite in its heyday." She says as she projects a hologram of the Sea Spite, "It was an oasis for Gems on Earth It's abandoned now, but we can still save it with the statue!"
"Wha? That's perfect!" Steven says and his eyes turn into star shapes.
"What? Why?" Pearl questions.
"Because I can help carry it for you in this!" Steven takes out his backpack.
"A hamburger?" Pearl questions while Alex rolls her eyes.
"It's a Novelty Backpack, shaped like a cheeseburger! Aww, I blew it. I was just going to wear it one day, and you guys would be like, "Dang, Steven, that's cool." But this is obviously an important Gem business.
"Yes, so you should let us take care of it," Pearl says
"What? I'm a Gem" Steven lifts up his shirt and points to his gem.
"But you've still got a lot to learn." Pearl hesitates.
"So, let him come!" Amethyst waves her hands," It'll be educational."
"Hmm, alright," Pearl says giving him the statue, "You can carry it in your hamburger."
"Alex should also come with us," Garnet says smiling at Alex.
Alex looks at Pearl.
Pearl sighs." Okay, she can also come. But only if you promise to listen to what we say." Pearl says looking at her slightly stern.
"Yes, mo-pearl," Alex says rolling her eyes with a blush.
"Give me a minute. I'll pack extra supplies." Steven says. Alex shakes her head.
They wait for him for a while.
"Steeeeven, let's gooo!" Pearl calls him.
"Coming!" Steven walks down the stairs and onto the ward pad.
"Dang, Steven, that's so cool." Alex teases him and he sticks his tongue towards her.
"Steven, did you bring your whole room?" Pearl asks.
"Back that thang up," Amethyst says.
"Let's warp. "Garnet says and a blue light flashes from the pad but it doesn't cover Stevens' stomach.
"Suck it in, Stev!" Alex says crossing her arms. Steven inhales, pulling his stomatch the warp
"Do you remember how to do this?" Pearl asks Steven.
Steven starts to floating and laughing as his head goest out of the warp stream. "Keep your head in!" Pearl pulls his head in.
The Gems and Alex lands at the Sea Spire while Steven falls down.
"Woah, the Sea Spire!" Steven says excitedly.
"So, we're here to save this old ruin?" Alex says crossing her arms as a piece of the Spire falls off.
"It wasn't like this a hundred years ago," Pearl says looking at the damage.
"I'm sensing structural instability," Garnet says.
"That can't be good," Alex adds.
"Gah, Steven!" Pearl yells as the piece where he stands on began to fall.
"What?"
Pearl jumps up and saves him."Alright, hold on. We're taking Steven and Alex back!" Pearl says as she hugs Steven.
Steven leaps off her and takes Mr Queasy out of his backpack"Oh, Mr Queasy." Steven laughs while Alex chuckles slightly.
"Steven! This place is your heritage, I want you to stay and help, but you really got to take this seriously! Can you do that, Steven?" Pearl asks him.
"You got it, dude!" Steven says as he shows a thumb up and sticks out his tongue.
"Yesss," Pearl says. Alex laughs at this.
"Enough, we have to move," Garnet says.
The Gems runs up the cliff then Garnet stops before a gap.
"What's the hold-up? We can clear this easily." Amethyst says.
"No. The magic that substains the whirlpool creates a vortex that will pull us below." Garnet throws a rock and it gets pulled down.
"So we can't jump?" Pearl questions.
"Oh, wait! "Steven pulls out sweaters from his backpack.
"Brilliant, Steven." Alex says as she takes them from him.
"What are those for?" Amethyst asks.
"They were for keeping warm," Steven says.
Alex ties them together. "But now we can get to the other side." She says grinning.
Alex whips one end through the window and catches the other end. "Come on, Steven!" Alex says as she takes his hand and jumps down.
"Steven! Alex!" Amethyst yells.
"Wait!" Pearl yells.
They both get pulled down by the vortex.
"Steven! Alex!" The Gems yell.
Alex throws Steveb on to the other side."I'm fine." He says as he lands unharmed.
"It's like bungee jumping," Alex says as she also lands on the other side unharmed.
"Steven! Alex! Way to go! C'mon, guys!" Amethyst summons her whip, grabs Pearl and Garnet, and whips it through the window.
"Alex style!" Amethyst yells as she climbs up and brings the rest into the Sea Spite.
"Don't you two ever do that again!" Pearl says to them.
"Sorry," Steven says as Garnet ruffles his and Alex's hair.
"But it was pretty great," Pearl admits.
The Gems walk through the Sea Spite.
"Oh, no, no, no, this is even worse than the outside. Ugh...that's...oh! Oh, this didn't used to be so-Oh and the water damage. This pillar...Oh, and this had a head..." Pearl says in distress as she looks at the damage.
"Oh, Steven, Alex, once the statue is in place, it'll restore all of this to its former glory." Pearl sees a creature crawling on the statue's shoulder"-aahh!" She summons her spear and slices the statue in half.
Alex laughs. "I never knew that these missions can be so entertaining." She says with a smirk earning a soft glare from Pearl.
"What was that goober?" Steven asks.
"Crystal Shrimp." Pearl answeres.
"You guys, we got a problem!" Steven, Alex and Pearl run up the stairs towards Garnet and Amethyst.
"It's an infestation. And we have to pass through there to get to the top. " Pearl says as she sees a horde of shrimps crawl around.
"Can't you just squish 'em?" Alex asks while Steven leans towards one of the crytal shrimps.
Pearl pulls Steven away. "Don't touch that, their shards are deadly! We need to clear the path."
She projects Amethyst " Amethyst if you go around to the side and disturb them with a spin attack..."
Pearl projects Garnet on the ceiling, "And, Garnet if you move to the ceiling and strike this exact spot...then I can advance with..." Pearl projects herself.
"Bagel sandwich!" Steven yells and takes out two bagel sandwiches out of his pack and throw them to each side of the room.
The shrimps procced to follow one of the sandwiches, leaving a clear path for the Gems.
"Brilliant." Garnet and Alex say at the same time.
"Uh, uhh, how did you know that would work?" Pearl asks him.
"Well, if I were a shrimp, that's what I would do," Steven explains as the gems walk through the clear path.
"You are a shrimp," Amethyst says.
"Watch out!" Garnet yells as the wall to the left of them cracks and forms a small, rushing river that drops below.
"What are we gonna do?" The Gems expect for Alex look at Steven.
"What? Me?" Steven asks.
"What have you got?" Garnet asks.
"Cheeseburger backpack!" Amethyst and Pearl chant.
Alex rolls her eyes as she leans against one of the pillars with her arms crossed.
" A raft!" Steven says.
"Steven, that's so sensible!" Pearl says.
Steven places the raft in the water. But it quickly floats away. Pearl and Amethyst groans.
Alex smirks as she summons her katana and slices the piller she was leaning on. On end lands on the other side of the river, forming a bridge."Let's go!" She says.
"Good idea anyway, Steven. "Garnet says.
"Good job, Alex." Pearl and Amethyst cheer.
The Gems slowly climb up the winding stairs. Finally, they get to the top.
The Gems approach the pedestal."This is it. The Moon Goddess pedestal. " Pearl says as she looks up. "And the moon is almost overhead! It's not too late to save this piece of history!"
"Steven, the statue," Garnet says.
Steven sticks his hand in his backpack and feels for the statue but is unable to find it. "Uhh, I, uh, ah, uhh..."
"What's the hold-up?" Amethyst asks.
Steven looks terrified. "I don't have it," He says.
The Gems except for Alex gasps.
"Oh, well." She shrugs.
"What?!" Pearl asks.
"I must have left it on the bed!"
The Gems look at the moon."There's...there's no time..." Pearl says.
"Wait!" Steven reaches into his backpack, "I have an idea!" He says as he pulls out Mr Queasy.
"Could that work?" Amethyst asks Garnet. Garnet simply shrugs.
Steven walks to the pedestal and places Mr Queasy. The moon blasts a ray of light onto Mr Queasy, who then floats up towards the moon.
Only a few feet up, Mr Queasy violently shakes and the Gems scream except for Alex who just stands there with her hands in her pockets.
Mr Queasy explodes and the Gems scream again, Alex just rolls her eyes.
The Spire begins to shake, and a bunch of cracks form in the ground. The waterfall starts to close in the Spire.
"Everyone, keep steady!" Garnet says.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Steven says.
"Great!" Alex says with fake enthusiasm.
The cracks separate and the Gems are pushes back. Each piece sinks and an ocean is all that is left. The Gems swim to the surface.
"That's all my fault. I broke it." Steven says.
"This place was already a ruin. It was just a matter of time before it collapses." Alex says.
"Alex is right. You handled everything well under pressure. You did great!" Pearl cheers him up.
"Yeah, two out of four of your ideas worked. That's fifty percent, "Amethyst also cheers him up.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. They can't all be winners." Steven says.
Then the raft pops up to the surface. "You gotta be kidding me?" Alex says surprised.
"Woooh!" Steven cheers as they all get in the raft.
"Cheeseburger backpack! Cheeseburger backpack! Cheeseburger backpack!" Pearl and Amethyst cheers."It's a three-hour paddle home." Garnet says.
Pearl and Amethyst stop cheering.
Steven reaches into his backpack and takes out a bagle. "Anyone want a wet bagle?" He asks.
Alex chuckles slightly.
