It was all darkness when suddenly a faint humming filled her ears. Connie awoke with a gasp, vaulting up. She glanced around and saw she was in a cell with some odd yellow forcefield blocking the exit. "Peridot? Lapis?" She then rembered
Jasper poofing… right into Garnet's hand. "Jasper!" The girl got up and ran to the barrier. "Where are they?"

Suddenly, she heard a scream echo through the halls. "Let go of me!" Lapis' voice cried.

"Don't you hurt her, you clods!" Peridot's voice growled.

"Yes, well you're next." She heard Sapphire laugh.

"Lapis!" Connie gasped. She hesitated but touched the barrier. The lines went up her body and she felt a tickling sensation go up her spine. She walked out and shivered. She then started to run. Her sword was gone… where was it?!
She needed it!

"Lapis! Lapis, I'm coming!" Connie called. She suddenly was grabbed and pulled back. She gave a cry, thinking it must've been Garnet but it was Amethyst.

"Connie," Amethyst breathed, "How did you get out?!"

Connie gave a growl, pulling her arm away. "How could you?! Y-You told them where we were! Why would you do that?! We're friends!"

The gem sighed. "It's complicated, Connie…. I was over cooked, owe Rose my life, joined her lackies, simple as that."

Connie was speechless until she heard Lapis' yells nearby. "Lapis! I need to get to Lapis!"

Amethyst grabbed her again before she could run. "Wait."

"Let me go!" Connie growled.

"You'll thank me soon." Amethyst murmured. She suddenly pulled Connie's sword and scabbard from behind her. Connie gasped in suprsie. "Amethyst… thank you."

The gem smirked. "Told ya so."

"Come on," Connie said, putting the sword on her back. "escape with me and the Temps, we can free you from being Homeworld's slave!"

"Kiddo, Quartz soldiers are one in a million, but I'm the runt of 'em." Amethyst sighed. "I belong to Rose Quartz, she thought I had a use, you realize that, right? Besides, P and G are my teammates, my friends, we are the Crystal
Gems, warriors of Homeworld. Rose saved me."

"These are your friends?! Your family, the ones you were trying to get home to?!" Connie gasped.

"Yeah." Amethyst shrugged. "Connie, I've caused you enough harm already, just get out of here, the only reason I'm not stopping you is you're my buddy, you saved me-"

"Just like Rose Quartz did! Doesn't that mean anything to you, Amethyst?!" Connie cried. Amethyst flinched.

They suddenly heard a cry.

"Lapis!" Connie gasped. She turned Amethyst. "I'm going. Are you coming or not?"

Amethyst was silent.

Connie sighed. The girl drew her sword and ran to Lapis' yells.

She heard Pearl say, "Once I shatter this Lapis Lazuli, we must go back for the Cluster!"

"That doesn't matter." Sapphire growled. "Set the cordints to Homeworld once you've done your task."

"Let me g-g-go!" Lapis yelled, she was stuttering.

"Connie?!" She turned and saw Jasper sitting in a cell surrounded by a barrier.

"Jasper!" Connie cried. She ran to her and thrust her hand in. Jasper looked at the gap and slowly put her hand through. "How?"

"I think it's my hybridism." Connie explained.

Suddenly, they heard a voice, "Saffy was right, you are out."

Connie turned and saw Ruby in the doorway. Jasper slid out and Connie readied her sword. She wished she knew how that destabilizing power worked from earlier.

Sapphire stepped in behind Ruby and sighed, "Pearl's busy…" She cocked her head seeing Connie with her sword. "And it appears we've found who saved Amethyst, seeing as she hasn't killed Yellow Diamond yet and that she's out of her
cell… Well, time to separate them." She said with a small sigh.

Connie thought she meant separate her and Jasper, but Jasper knew exactly what she meant. They were going to pry Connie's gem out of her body, ripping Yellow Diamond out and leaving Connie's organic body, her human body, to die.

"Connie, get out of here." Jasper whispered weakly.

Connie turned and saw her face was pale. "Are you okay?"

Garnet appeared, Ruby and Sapphire had fused, and cracked her knuckles. "Now… Surender Yellow Diamond over."

"Connie, her name is Connie, Garnet." Jasper hissed. "She's like a fusion, but with a human. Sapphire, imagine if you ever unfused, that Ruby would die because of it. That is what is going to happen if you take her gem out.
Yellow Diamond might be out, but Connie, her kid… heck, I consider her my kid by now, she will die."

Connie felt her stomach drop. She hadn't known about that.

"Oh, you feel like she belongs to you?" Garnet laughed. Then she smirked, "More of a reason to kill this Connie." She suddenly leapt at the girl with lighting speed. Jasper slid in front of her, blocking Garnet with her
helmet. They slid into a battle area nearby.

"Connie… Peri and Lapis are in another room, get to them, and get out of here!" Jasper grunted.

Connie hesitated. "But, Garnet, she's a massive gem!"

Jasper gave a weak chuckle, "She'd two weak little gems pretend like they know what you really need for fusion, they need love, but they also need something else."

"What's that?"

"Strength." Jasper then shoved Connie forward quickly, in the direction of the other room.

Connie ran, escaping Garnet.

"Pity." Garnet muttered, throwing Jasper away. Jasper grunted. "Jasper, I've seen what you really are."

Jasper got up and gave a dark chuckle then a laugh. "No, you haven't." She then started to sing, "This is Jasper. Here forever. And I'm never going down at two little gems like you because my strength is to the brim. And every part of me is saying "Go get em"."
Garnet gave a growl, knowing Jasper was taunting her with her own song and ran at her. "Cause, my family's not gonna follow Homeworld's rules. Come at me without any of your fancy tools. Let's go, just me and you. Let's go, just one on two."
Jasper made her helmet. Garnet ran at her and ducked past her punches. "Go ahead and try and hit me if you're able. Can't you see that my skills are not a fable?

So, if I were you two, I would prepare. Because you made my child scared! And you're not gonna stop what my family's attempting to do, We are gonna forever protect our planet from you." Jasper avoided Garnet's electricity. "So, don't try to stop this fire from roaring, if you throw me away, I'll coming back soaring! Surprise, I am filled, O-o-o-o-of, Lo-o-o-o-ove."

While she was singing, Connie ran into the room. She gasped. Peridot was screaming in a cell and Pearl held Lapis' arms behind her back, a sword pointed at her gem that was pulsing. Lapis sputtered in pain, tears running down her face. Pearl was
trying to shatter her! Connie ran to Peri's cell, releasing her. "Get to the controls and turn this ship around!" Peridot nodded and ran to the panel, thrusting her hands into the controls. Connie drew her sword and ran at Pearl with a war
cry. Lapis fell to the ground with a cry as Pearl released her and pointed her sword at Connie. "Ha! What could a little human know about a sw-" Connie blocked Pearl's swipe and smirked, "I'm a natural." Connie slid under the sword,
pulling her own with grace as Pearl fought her. They clashed, both looking like they were dancing as they fought, a master against a natural.

"Don't touch that, you twerp!" Pearl growled, running to Peridot. Connie slid in front of her and gave short yells as she parried. Pearl suddenly flung the girl'ssword away, leaving her sword pointed at the gem on her chest.
Suddenly, a fist of water punched her away and picked up Connie's sword. It gave it back and Lapis gave a mocking curtsy to Pearl who growled. "How's that for a youngtraitor?" Lapis smirked.

Connie looked at a camera screen and saw Jasper still fighting Garnet.

"O-o-o-o-of, Lo-o-o-o-ove. Lo-o-o-o-ove.

Lo-o-o-o-ove." Jasper sang. Garnet avoided her head butts. Jasper grabbed her leg suddenly and threw her up into the celling. Garnet leapt at Jasper, punching her repeatedly into the ground, deeper and deeper. They were near the electric core…
Jasper stood. "This is for the planet. This is for the town. And if you think you can stop me, then I'll let you know, you're going down. Because I have a reason, why this fight in me will never end," Jasper made her helmet. "And that is this plantet,"
Garnet smirked. "And my friends!" Jasper growled, narrowing her eyes. Jasper dodged her punches, leaping over Garnet. She took the destabilizatior from the gem's armor and tried to thrust it into her. "Go ahead and try and hit me if you're able. Can't you see that my skills are not a fable?"
Garnet punched her away and Jasper came running back, trying to poof her. "Because I finally know that you're not something to be afraid of, do you truly think that you've seen what I'm made of?" Jasper laughed. Garnet kept punching
at the gem and missing while she kept singing, "Because our group is more just two of them." She sang referring to Lapis and Perodot. "And everything we care about, is what that child is. So, this is for the Temps, the cause I believe in," Jasper smirked as she grabbed Garnet's arm. "This is for beating back Homeword's sin!"
She threw Garnet into the life source. It exsploded and the ship started going down. Jasper ran smiling and singing still, "Surprise, I am filled, O-o-o-o-of, Lo-o-o-o-ove. L-o-o-o-o-ove, And that's what makes me so much stronger than you."

Peridot fell from the controls and Lapis, Connie, along with Pearl fell over. Lapis attempted to freeze Pearl in ice but she leapt down, a escape pod appearing for her. The Temps rushed to the window and saw the pod rocketing down to Earth. Suddenly,
the door opened. "Jasper!" The team cried.

"Come on! This ship's gonna blow!" Jasper yelled.

"What about Amethyst?!" Connie cried.

"No time!" Jasper cried. She grabbed Connie, Lapis and Peridot and held them close.

Amethyst not far away sighed in dismay…

The ship crashed.

Lion soon ran unmong the clutter until he roared a pile off of Connie and the Temps, who all safely were in her bubble. Jasper ruffled her her. "Nice one, kiddo."

The bubble popped and they rose. "I can't belevile…. Homeworld, shattering, you knew Garnet and you never told me one of our enemies was a fusion!" Connie sputtered.

"Ha, Garnet wasn't always around you know." Lapis winked. Connie glanced up. "Huh?"

"I'll tell you on your birthday, you'll be older than." Jasper smiled. The Temps stood there for a moment, listening to the quiet of the waves when suddenly, a hand popped out from the ruble. Ruby got out and groaned. She gasped. "Sapphire?!
Sapphire!"

Sapphire gave lay nearby and Ruby ran to her. They kissed passionately until Jasper coughed, "Um… I'm pretty sure I beat you, I won, score settled."

They turned and fused quickly. Garnet gave a chuckle. "You won? Please, you didn't win this war."

Jasper gave a growl.

"I just need to be a little bit stronger and then-" Suddenly, the ruble shifted again. Amethyst shoved it off. She fell to the ground and Garnet walked up. "G-Garnet…" Amethyst whispered softly.

Garnet smirked. "Amethyst, you know who we need right now?"

"Ugh, do we have to get Pearl right now?" Amethyst groaned. She then turned and saw the Temps and she looked back at Garnet. "Y-You mean…"

"We need Suglite. Fuse with me."

Connie gasped in suprise but Amethyst gave a squeal. "Really?! W-We haven't fused in decades! Why now?" She then felt Connie staring and relaized it. "You… want her… to hurt Connie?"

"What?"

"Yellow Diamond." Amethyst rephrased.

"And to shatter the rest." Garnet shrugged. Amethyst looked at Connie, at the Temps. "Amethyst, you love being fused with me, don't lie about that. Besides, didn't these gems in prison you? Kept you away from home?" The
fusion smirked. "Just say yes already."

Connie shook her head but Amethyst sighed. She slowly started to dance and Connie gave a yell, trying to stop her. Lapis grabbed the girl though. "NO!"

Amethyst danced and ran to Garnet. She phased into the other gem and they were gone. In thier place was a ginormous fusion. Suglite. The Temps shook with fear. Suglite gave a laugh. She formed Garnet's gauntlets and Amthyst's whip to make
a club like device. The fusion lifted the whip into the air, about to crush them when her arm suddenly jerked backward, the whip tangling her. "Huh?!"

Another whip appeared and wrapped around her. "Hey, what's going on?!"

"What are you doing?" Garnet said through the fusion.

Amethyst's voice came. "G, I know you want to shatter the Jasper, and the Lapis Lazuli for revenge and the Peridot's a bonus, but I'm not letting you hurt Connie." Two of the fusion's arms started pulling the fusion away. The ground rumbled
and cracked open. "Heh, I'm sick of being the useless runt on Homeworld! Now, I'm useful for something, keeping you here, forever!"

"Amethyst!" Connie cried.

Jasper and Lapis gave each other a single look that seemed to say, Would this be us in a different life?

"Let's stay here, cause this is my home, and you're never getting out!" Sugilite yelled in Amethyst voice. They sunk under the earth and the crack closed. Connie and the Temps started, still shocked.

"Heh, so much for being made of love." Jasper smirked. The others glanced at her when Connie's phone rung. She slowly opened it.

"Connie?! Connie, are you okay?!" Steven's voice cried. Connie merely stared at the beach where the fusion had disappeared. "... Connie?"
