Amethyst and Steven went to go visit Lapis and Peridot. Though the peace didn't last for long. Garnet grabbed my arm and pulled me with Pearl to the warp pad. "Garnet!" I yelled we warped to the Barn where there were… Rubies? They were being held up in the air by Lapis and she bubbled them.

"They're so cute." I said as we walked towards them. There was a big red ship parked nearby. There was a familiar ding and Peridot, Steven and Amethyst stared at them in a mixture of shock and confusion.

"The Rubies are back?!" Steven yelled surprised, running forward.

"They showed up on their little ship acting very angry. So I put them in time-out." Lapis said simply and looked at me. "Hey Suha."

"Hey Lapis, you look happier." I said smiling.

"Back to the matter at hand." Garnet said releasing her hold on my arm.

"I thought we were done with these guys!" Steven said confused and walked up to the floating Rubies. "Why did you come back here?" He asked with his hands on his hips.

"Let's release one and just ask what they're up to." Garnet advised, lifting up her hand.

"Ooh, ooh! Can I pick?" Steven asked, raising his hand.

"Go for it." Garnet said and Stven walked forward and looked at them for a split second and pointed.

"Hmm... Oh! Let's talk to Leggy!" He said happily and she looked at him.

"Leggy?" Pearl asked confused.

"I named them based on the placement of their gems. There's Leggy, Army, Navy, Eyeball, and, uh... Doc. Leggy seems like the easiest to talk to." He pointed at each of the Rubies.

"Leggy, come on down!" Lapis said and pointed at the water bubble and it popped. Leggy fell on flat on the ground.

"Hey! Hi, I'm Steven. What brings you back to Earth?" He asked.

"Uh…" She said and took a seat on the ground. She slowly lifted her arms up. "I... don't... know?"

"Can we keep her?" I asked Garnet.

"No we can't." She told me and I frowned.

"Oh, uh, I understand. I used to forget why we go on missions all the time." Steven said and the Gem walked over to the fence.

"'I'll just go stand over here then." She said and stood by the fence.

"Let's take a chance on Army." Steven said and the bubble popped making the gem fall.

"Good afternoon!-" Steven started and Army growled and ran forward.

"RAAH!" She said enraged caring forward to Steven. "I'll tear you limb- Huh?"

But Garnet simply picked her up from the back of her tunic. "Hey! Don't be like that." Garnet said as though she was scolding a child, but I guess since she was part of a Ruby and probably a much older Ruby, they were like children to her.

"Why I oughta razzle-frazzle your-" She flails her limps around while mumbling angrily.

"Aww." Garnet says and tucks Army under her arm.

"Hey, what the-" She continues to flail her legs.

"Next!" Garnet said happily.

"Ehh... Navy?" Navy lands on her feet.

"If I remember correctly, we were on Earth- " She pauses and notices all of us staring at her, which caused her to blush and look away. "Uh... hah! This is so embarrassing!" She covers her face in embarrassment. "Oh-hoh-" She looks back at the Gems, lightly screams and cowers next to Leggy.

"Okay, Eyeball?" Steven says and Eyeball falls on the ground and immediately stands up.

"I'm not tellin' y'all nothin' about nothin'!" Eyeball says and crosses her arm, growling.

"The only one left now is, uh... Doc." Doc lands gracefully on her feet and glares at them.

"Where's Jasper? Last time we came, you tricked us into playing that stuuupid game!" She yelled pointing at them. " Then, you said." She air quotes and Amethyst walks away making Peridot and I stare at her for a moment. "She's on Neptune", so we looked, and she wasn't there. She wasn't on Neptune! Or any other planet in this whole dang solar system! Tell us where she is right now."

"No games, no tricks, and no slick disguises." Army jumps out of Garnet's arms and lands behind the angry Doc, Eyeball jumps and flips over landing next to Army, Leggy jumps and rolls over on the ground and lands on her hands and knees while Navy just marches over smiling.

"Yeah!" The Homeworld Rubies cheer.

"HEY!" A Jasper like voice says and everyone looks over and sees Amethyst who shapeshifted herself to look like Jasper, though she was purple. "I'm right here." All of us look at Amethyst confused.

"Is she serious? There's no way this is gonna-" Pearl starts.

"Look, it's Jasper!" Army cheers and so do the rest of the Rubies. Eyeball pushes her way pass them and marches over to Amethyst.

"Jasper! I'm Ruby 1F4 Cut 4ND. I fought in the war for Earth." Eyeball says and does the Diamond salute.

"Uh... At ease." Amethyst says.

"I was on the ground in Facet 6 when I heard the tale of the Facet 9 Kindergarten Quartz that could. They said you popped out of the ground with your helmet on, and took out 80 Crystal Gems before the sun went down. When I found out this mission was to look for you, I nearly dissipated my form! It is... an honor to finally meet you." She says happily.

"Yep! That's me! Always huge, never small, all the- all the time since I was made!" Amethyst said confused.

"Wait a minute!" She narrows her eyes in suspicion. "You look different than I thought you would."

"Oh, here it is." Pearl says placing her hand on her forehead.

"Oh, you must mean my tan! You know, from the sun!" Amethyst points at the sun and Eyeball narrows her eyes glaring at the sun.

"Stupid Earth sun!" Eyeball says and kicks up a clod of dirt. "I hate this planet!"

"Curse this planet!" Amethyst yelled and kicked up some dirt and placed her hands on her hips. The Rubies immediately follow and stomp on the ground. After a while they stop.

"Well, it's a good thing we finally found you. Yellow Diamond is awaiting your return. We'll take you back to Homeworld right away." Eyeball said smiling.

"No! I-I mean-" Amethyst's actual voice comes out, startling the other gems. She clears her throat and puts on the voice "I, Jasper, have decided to stay on Earth."

"What?' Doc asked.

"Why?" Leggy asked.

"Yeah, why, Jasper?" Navy asked, placing her hands together. Amethyst looks back at them.

"Because... I gotta stay here! With these guys! *walks next to the Crystal Gems* Yup, gotta keep 'em prisoner." Lapis rolls her eyes. "For the Diamonds. Eyeball claps her hands solemnly while Navy wipes a tear, the other Homeworld Rubies join in the clapping and whipping as well.

"Jasper…" Leggy says.

"Such devotion." Navy says and Doc walks up, wiping a tear from her eyes.

"Well, Yellow will definitely wanna know about this. You'll have to file a report at the nearest Diamond base." Doc asked and the other Rubies mutter that they don't know where it is. "You dummies! It's uh, it's... hm." She looks round and Eyeball points at the moon, that was visible in the bright sky. Amethyst convinces the Rubies to let them on the their ship and Garnet and Pearl chide Amethyst. Lapis and Peridot don't bother coming with them. They pretend to be upset that they're going with the Rubies.

The Roaming Eye was a red and teardrop-shaped craft vaguely similar to the Red Eye. The center of the ship had a yellow triangular indent where eyes are located. At the bottom of the Roaming Eye there were three spikes protruding from the ship; two in the front and one in the back, most likely used as landing gear. The main door was located below the triangular screen and opens outward to form a ramp. The top of the ship had a hatch for entering and exiting the ship. The interior consisted of a single room, its size considerably larger than the ship's exterior would suggest. There were five consoles located around the perimeter of the room, each with a chair and window screen displaying a view of the outside. The largest console was located at the front of the room and was used for piloting the vessel.

Amethyst puts Doc on her lap and I were I saw Eyeball look over with Envy. It took some time but they made it to the moon base. Doc uses her gem to shine a light like a flashlight and the Rubies began to step out of the ship.

"All clear!" Doc said.

"Right this way, Jasper."

"Oh, Jasper, won't you ever let us go?" Pearl said dramatically. Steven jumps up and began to float but Garnet places her hand on his and pulls him down.

"Look at this place, frozen in time. An Era-1 base. Her Era-1 base." Eyeball shined a light at the mural, who was probably Pink Diamond, since Yellow had a similar mural, there was Blue Diamond and White Diamond. I felt my gem glow for a moment and the Rubies glare at me, ready to battle.

"Er, sorry." I say.

"It was a tragedy, what happened to her." Eyeball continued, I could feel dread in my heart, this felt familiar.

"Who is that anyway?" Leggy asked.

"Were you made yesterday?! That, is Pink Diamond. Jasper, maybe it's best if you explain." Eyeball said. Amethyst told Eyeball that she should explain.

"I understand. She was your original Diamond." We began to climb the staircase to the top control room. "Earth was Pink Diamond's colony. Everything was going smoothly at first. Kindergartens were incubating their first soldiers. Big, warm pieces of Quartz, like this mountain over here-" She looks at Amethyst. "* -were being created from its rich minerals with great success. Then BAM! One of Pink Diamond's very own Quartz soldiers started a rebellion and took it too far." She turned towards Amethyst. "Where were you when it happened?"

"Oh, you know, around?" Amethyst gasped.

"I was there. I saw it with my own eye. I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz, shatter Pink Diamond!" Eyeball said and everyone freezed. Steven glared in disbelief at Garnet and Pearl, who was shivering violently and covering her mouth respectively. I closed my eyes in pain.

"No! Rose Quartz would never do that!" Steven said tearing up. " A-And, sure, she had to fight but- but she would never shatter someone!" Everyone stared at him and the Rubies went upward to the control panel which was broken. The Rubies went back to the ship and Amethyst turned herself back to normal. Steven walked forward and looked at the mural and I followed him placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked at me with a conflicted expression on his face.

Doc comes out and sees Amethyst in her original form. The Rubies assemble into a Giant Ruby and Steven grabs my hand and runs forward. "Yeah! We won't let you trick us again!" Giant Ruby said.

"Hey, Rubies!" Steven yelled and stood by the Moon Base door with me on the other side. "If you're gonna fight, take it outside." Steven activates the door switch, opening the door and the giant got stuck halfway out the door.

"You can't get rid of us that easy!" She yelled. Pearl and Garnet fuse into Sardonyx with Amethyst on her shoulders. She had vermillion skin and pale apricot-colored hair, styled into a tetrahedron with very rounded corners. Her torso and legs greatly resemble Garnet's, but with less mass. As a fusion, she had four arms and inherits the same locations of her gemstones as her components. She wore a black, tailcoat tuxedo-leotard with a tangerine bow tie and a small, black star on her chest. This tailcoat comes from Pearl's sash ribbon. The underside of the tail of her tailcoat is the same shade of tangerine as her bow tie. She wore two-toned, mauve-gray leggings under crimson tips surrounding the top part of her feet. On her first set of arms, she wore white gloves, exposing her hands except a white covering on her middle fingers like Garnet's. On her second set of arms, located on her abdomen, she wore white gloves that closely resemble Sapphire's gloves that extended to her elbows.

She wore round shades that resemble those of Alexandrite, but were slightly transparent and tinted with a dark reddish-ginger color, which revealed that Sardonyx has four eyes, two on the bottom which are large and round, and two on the top which are thin, small, and narrow. Her top pair of eyes were magenta, while the bottom pair were crimson-colored. Sardonyx had a small gap between her front teeth and plump lips. Her face were rather triangular, and her feet had small, bright pink diamonds on them.

"I bet she can." Steven said and Sardonyx took out her hammer and slammed it into the Giant Ruby.

"Oof!" She says and unfused back into the Rubies that were sucked out the door into space. Eyeball was sucked out the door and she grabbed Steven and Steven grabbed me and they were pulled out with her. Steven and I scream as we get sucked into space. I grab Steven and pull him close to me and there was a bright light.
