At the Beach Citywalk Fries in slow motion, Steven's fist began to hit the surface of the counter as he smiled and then said as his Gf Lapis, his Dad, along with Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl were there with them as he said happily after his fist hit the counter. "Give me the-"
He then stopped as a bag of fry bits were put in front of him as he said with a grin. "Oh, thanks!" Peedee who was the one that gave him the fry bits then said. "Eh, I saw you guys coming." Lapis then looked around seeing nobody else such as Mr. Fryman nor Ronaldo inside the restaurant as she then asked. "So, your closing up all by yourself?"
"Yeah, it's just me tonight."
After telling them, Greg then told him. "Wow, that's a lot of responsibility for a kid your age. Your dad must really trust you." After telling Peedee, he then made what looked like an annoyed face and then told him in the same tone. "Don't patronize me, sir." After that Steven
then said as he waved while they left.
"See you, Peedee!" While they were walking away from the Beach Citywalk Fries and towards the Beach, Steven then continued telling his Dad about what happened in his and the others previous missions involving Yellow Pearl as he told him. "So, like I was saying, Yellow Pearl's been shooting huge robots here from space, and when you smash them, they explode into goo!"
After telling him he then looked at his Son and then told him. "That sounds scary. You know, I'm not sure if...Do you ever feel like this Gem stuff is too much for you?" His son looked at him confused and then asked. "What are you-"
Soon he was cut off by a loud explosion noise from far away alerting him, along with the others causing him to drop the bag of bits he had as the windows of local businesses shatter, including at the Beach Citywalk Fries which Peedee nearly fell from while he was carrying the garbage bag he had, when it stopped Greg then asked shocked. "What the hey was that?!"
After asking, his son, along with the others then looked up at the sky, which he did as well as they saw what looked like giant Green hand which is floating as they looked closely as then Jewel then said. "Is that..." Peridot then finished her sentence in fright knowing what it is. "A Handship?!" They then ran, making their way towards the Beach House as fast as possible.
Minutes later near the Beach House
"The Light Cannons should be ready."
After Pearl said that as she was outside with her husband, along with Garnet who were setting up the Light-Cannons they had as while they were, Steven and the others showed up as he then asked them curiously. "Guys! Did you see that thing in the sky?" After he asked the leader then looked and then told him. "It's a ship. We have to assume it's Yellow Pearl."
"We knew she'd be coming. With advanced weapons and reinforcements."
After Garnet told them that Greg then said knowing what was happening. "It's happening..." After saying that his son then began making his way towards the others as he then asked with a small smile. "I wanna see." After asking he then looks into the telescope and sees the green Handship as after seeing it he then asked. "What should we do?"
When he asked Pearl then went over to him and then told him. "Go over to the Light-Cannons and bring Lapis with you." He smiled and then nods before bringing his Gf over to the four Light-Cannons, once he got there, the leader then smiled and then said happily. "Ready the light cannons."
After Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl pushed the fourth Laser Light Cannon into position, Garnet then said to Steven and Lapis. "Light them up."
They both then nodded to her and then looked at each other as his Gf went to her knees as they both began kissing each other, while kissing his Gem began glowing, including the Cannons which then shoot beams into sky at the spaceship, but unfortunately instead of destroying the ship, it opens itself and blocks the crossed beam with the palm area, after going back to the same positon it was Onyx then said surprised. "It...Had no effect."
"What now?"
When Greg asked that curiously, Pearl then lifts the telescope and looks into it before telling them, knowing there's no other way out of it. "We'll have to take them head on, the whole town might be in danger." When she told them, Steven then gets his phone and taps on Mayor Dewey's name as he then said. "I better make a call. Time for some...Political favors."
Meanwhile at the Mayor's Office
At the Mayor's Office, the phone began ringing as Mayor Dewy answered it as he was hiding behind one of the curtains in his office, looking up at the Handship from his window which was still in one piece for some reason as he asked worriedly. "Hello?" When he asked Steven then answered him.
"Mayor Dewey! It's me, Steven Universe!"
When he said that the Mayor then stood hidden behind the curtains as he then asked. "Universe, what's this thing in the sky? As a politician, pointing fingers make me very nervous." After telling him that he then told him. "Mayor Dewey, the whole town's in danger. We have to evacuate the city."
"Evacuate? Hmm...Evacuate, it could be tough, I'll need a catchy slogan." After Dewy said that he then left to go and evacuate the town
Later in town
Mayor Dewey was driving his van through town as while he was his Van said in a loud shout for the entire town to hear. "E-VA-CU-ATE. E-VA-CU-ATE. E-VA-CU-ATE."
When it arrives everyone looked at it and then made their way towards the Van as the Mayor came out and then said out loud. "People! I need everyone to consider evacuation! Evacuation is something we all depend on in times of-" While his voice fades out it then goes over to the Gems and Greg as Steven went over to them with his Gf Lapis along with Jewel and Peridot as he said.
"Hey! That's a great idea, Dad. You should leave with the rest of the-" He along with the three then see his cheeseburger backpack on the floor as he then asked curiously. "Is that my luggage?" When he asked Jewel then asked. "Mom, why are you and Dad looking like that?" When she asked Greg then asked as he looked at Pearl, Onyx, Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl, and Garnet.
"Uuuhh...Who wants to tell him?"
They then looked away as Amethyst said as she and Soren and Pink Pearl turned away defensively. "Hey, I'm not good with this stuff!"
After telling him, Pearl then said, knowing what she has to tell them. "Steven, Jewel. I know you both don't think we trust you. But the truth is, we rely on you. Your voice inspires us, binds us, reminds us why we promised to protect the planet. You must now be that voice, for them.
The two along with their Gf's then looked over at the Beach City's boardwalk, and see all of the citizens in chaos including The Fryman's as Mr. Fryman was trying to pull his youngest son away from the counter of their restaurant as his eldest Son was taking video or pics of the Handship as Mr. Fryman said to Peedee. "Peedee, come on!" Peedee then looked at his Dad and then asked while holding on. "But are we coming back!?" After asked, Fryman then asked Ronaldo who continued recording with his phone. "Ronaldo, help me with your brother!"
After seeing this the four then looked back at Pearl who then told Steven and Jewel. "If anything happens, you two need to be there to protect them. It's your destiny." When she finished Lapis then said. "Wait, Pearl, please, can I go with Steven, I don't want to go without me please?" When she asked Peridot then asked.
"Can I go with Jewel too, please?"
"Okay, just, please, make sure you all stay safe." After telling them, Steven and Jewel then smiled as they both then said. "We won't disappoint you!" After saying that to her she then smiled and then said. "I know." After that the four then began following Greg and began making their way towards his Van to follow the others out to evacuate, while leaving, Pearl then said.
"We did everything we could. But guys, if we don't make it...Jewel will be the next leader. Ok let's put it together!" After saying that they then got ready as they waited for the ship to arrive.
Minutes later
On the outside of Beach City the 5 who are in the Van were within the traffic that's leaving Beach City as the evacuation as while leaving Jewel then asked. "Maybe when Yellow Pearl gets to Earth, she'll see how nice all the people are and she won't want to hurt anyone."
"Just like the team and your parents." When he said that Jewel then smiled as he then continued. "But these other Gems aren't like your parents or the Gems. They aren't like Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl, Garnet. They aren't gonna start caring about people now, they didn't the first time they..." He then stopped as the four then became curious of what he was going to say as his son then asked.
"The first time they what?"
When he asked Greg then said. "I mean, it was thousands of years ago! It's-it's not like I was there! The Gems should be telling you all this stuff but I get it, they don't want you four thinking of Homeworld like that!" When he told them they then didn't get it as Jewel then asked. "Like what? Like what?!" After asking he then knew he couldn't keep it a secret no more and then told them both. "Like aliens! Aliens who invaded Earth!" When he told them both they along with Lapis and Peridot then said shocked. "What!?" Greg then continued and told them.
"All they do is try to make up for it. They just can't forgive themselves, you understand? They were doing something awful to the planet and they couldn't stand it anymore. When I met them they told me that's why they had to turn on their own kind. They gave up everything just to stop what they started here and drive the invading Gems off of Earth."
After telling them that, Steven then said. "So P-Pearl and the others saved the world, that's good!" When he told him that Greg then said. "No such thing as a good war, kiddo. Gems were destroyed, people too...In the end, they along Jewel's Mom and your Mom...When she was around. Could only save a handful of their closest friends. B-but hey, let's look on the bright side! We're gonna drive past that waffle place in a couple miles!"
As he told them they then looked back over to where the Handships at before Jewel realized and the said to him. "We gotta go back! Turn the van around!" When she asked he then shook his head and said. "No way, the Gems don't want you 4 going back!" When he told them that his Son then said.
"I know they're just trying to protect us, but we have to protect them! I have Mom's shield, Jewel has her healing powers, Lapis has her water powers, and Peridot has building skills, they need us!"
"I need you too!" When his Dad told him that he then said trying to convince him to turn around. "Please Dad, what if they get hurt? Dad, turn around! Dad! Turn the van around, please!" He then punches the panel in front of him, causing the airbags inflate making him get launched out of the van in his bubble, when that happened to their shock his Dad then stops the van and runs out after him along with Lapis, Peridot and Jewel as they shouted.
"Steven!" When they looked his bubble then went away as he then looked up and then said. "Guys..." After saying that they then heard more walking as Fryman and his kids appeared as he asked. "Yo, Greg, are you and your kid okay?" As he asked the others who stopped then began showing up and looked down at them as Steven's Dad then said.
"Yeah, yeah! We're fine, we're fine." When he told them that his Son then asked. "Dad, please. We have to go back. We have to! They don't have us to help them, do you understand?" When he asked with Jewel, Lapis and Peridot agreeing, Greg then said. "Yeah, okay. Just...Becareful, or I'm gonna run fresh out of family and friends."
When he told them, the 4 then smiled and then nodded as Jewel then told him. "Stay with everyone and keep them safe. will figure out some way to get back to Beach City." After telling them that, Lion along with Marble, surprisingly appears behind them as Lion places a paw on Steven's head as Marble walked in between Jewel and Peridot, making them notice as they smiled as Lapis then said. "This'll work!"
After that they then got on top of Lion or Marble and began making their way back to Beach City where the others are at, while running Lion then roared opening a portal leading the 6 of them back to the Beach where the Gems are at as they saw Pearl, Onyx, Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl and Garnet, in position with their weapons all out, except Soren who was using his fire as their leader then shouted.
"Everyone fire!"
She along with Pink Pearl then began blasting plasma from their Spear's to the Handship as Soren blasted fire at it, while making solid glass from the beach sand letting Amethyst throw the solid glass at the ship, as Onyx used his Sword blasts and Garnet using her Gauntlets to hit the Handship as they had no effect.
After doing that the 4 behind them then got off of Lion and Marble and began making their way over to them as Pearl then said. "At least Jewel, Steven, Lapis and Peridot are safe."
"Hey guys!" She then became shocked and surprised along with the others as they then looked back and saw the 4 along with the two pets as Soren said. "You all came back why?!" When he asked the leader then said.
"What are you doing?! Get out of here!" When she asked Jewel then said. "But Mom-" Before she finished her Mom then cut her off and then said. "Oh no, too late! Just stay behind us!" As she asked they then did what she asked as the ship landed, when it did a ball then appears from the palm of the hand as it then opens up revealing three Gems, two of them being Yellow and Blue Pearl and the other in the middle who is wearing a cape-like hood of some-sort as Yellow said.
"That's them, all right. They're the ones who keep breaking my machines." When she told them the hooded Gem then asked. "This is it?" After she did Yellow Pearl then said. "Jasper! They keep interfering with my work!" After telling the Gem, known as Jasper, then said as she sighs and steps forward.
"Looks like another waste of my time...Hey, get over here!" She drags Blue Pearl out from behind her as she then breaks free from her grip and gasps seeing the others whom she saved as Steven then said quietly. "Blue Pearl."
After saying that Jasper then asked. "This is their base?" When she asked Blue then looked away as Yellow then answered. "Of course this is where they live, don't you see it?!"
"You all need to leave immediately!" After Soren told them, Amethyst then said. "Yeah, step off!" After them Pearl then said. "This is not a Gem-controlled planet!"
The three then jumped onto the beach as Jasper then continued. "And neither of you saw The leader? Oh, what a shame. I'd hoped to meet her. I was looking forward to beating her into the ground!" Pearl disliked what she said as she realized she doesn't even know she's the leader as she continued.
"But this is all that's left of her army? Some lost, defective Pearl and Onyx, a puny and a tall overcooked runt and lofty, and this shameless display? And...Wait a minute."
She then realized who the Pink Gem was along with the two Pearl's as Yellow Pearl then said. "Pink Pearl, is that you?!" When she asked that, Pink Pearl the became shy and then nodded as she then said. "What are you doing with the Gems, come and join us, the Diamonds will be glad to see you again." When she told Pink Pearl that she then looked at the others including Soren and Amethyst who looked at her in a worried expression as she then said to them making her Spear vanish. "I'm sorry." After that she then began heading to them, standing near Blue Pearl as she placed her hand on her shoulder as the Gems bare their weapons in preparation, while they did Jasper then looked at Steven and then asked.
"Wait...What is that?" When she asked curiously about Steven, Yellow Pearl then looked at him and then said. "It calls itself the Steven." When she told her, Blue Pearl then said. "He isn't a threat at all! He's not one of them!"
After telling them Jasper then said. "I know what a human is. You don't need me for this. Just blast them with the ship." After telling them as she walked and looked away, as she did Yellow then said. "Ugh, fine." She then made the ship lift up, and then uses the index finger takes aim, after making a screen appear on the device she's using to control the ship she then draws a wide circle on the screen and taps the middle, it begins to charge power.
"Steven, Jewel, Lapis, Peridot! Get out of here!" After Pearl told them that, they then said. "No!" After saying that she then told them all. "I won't let you risk your life!" After telling them Jewel then said. "But this is our home! And you're all our family!"
As she said that she and Steven's gemstone begins to shine as Yellow Pearl then said. "Firing." After that a beam fires out of the ship. towards them as the two then shouted. "We're Crystal Gems too!"
Steven then then jumped in front of the blast as his Shield forms, as Jewel grabbed Peridot and covered her from the blast as they were both hit by it, causing Jasper to turn around in shock seeing Jewel, who was still standing, as her injuries began healing up from the blast as while she put Peridot who was safe, down, the Homeworld Gem then asked. "That Gem is healing...But how?!"
After Jewel finished healing she then realized who she was and then said. "You! You're the Gem that was born through reproduction years ago!" She then looked at Pearl and Onyx and then said. "Which means your the leader of the Rebellion and that's your husband!" After saying that Yellow then said to her. "Now do you believe I needed an escort?" After telling her she then said. "Fire a barrage, Widespread!"
Yellow Pearl then did what she asked and swipes a finger right across the monitor she has, when she did Jewel then pushes Steven out of the way as the ship cuts a line across the beach, causing an explosion with some of the Gems getting caught in it, once the smoke cleared, they were able to see Steven was safe as Jewel was on the floor as she saw Jasper come up to her and ask. "Why are you even working for the Gems? They're weak, they betrayed Homeworld." After telling her that she then looked at her in anger as she continued "You know what? Forget about the mission!" Yellow Pearl then looked shocked as she then asked. "What!?"
"Yellow Diamond needs to see this. She's been wanting to get her hands on this Gem for a long time."
After saying that Jewel then looked shocked as while she did Garnet jumps into the air at Jasper who grinned evilly and then said. "Good."
She then summons her weapon which was a Crash Helmet as the two clash blows, creating a powerful draft that pushes back both Gems back as Garnet asked. "Jewel, run!"
When she asked that, the Homeworld Gem then pulls out a weapon as she said. "Priming Gem Destabilizer." She then dashes towards Garnet and her with the destabilizer, destroying her physical form as everyone gasped or looked in shock as she looks at Jewel while falling apart before disappearing and retreats to her gemstones. Two lay on the ground, one red, one blue, after that the Gem then picked Jewel up by her neck and said.
"I was there, you know. At the first war for this garbage planet. I fought against your Leader's armies. I respected her tactics. But this of what's left of her Rebellion, is sick!"
As she said that Pearl, and the others then charged at her as she said. "Unhand her at once!" As she asked, Jasper then said. "I don't get what she's planning, but look! Your leaders base is taken, the armies are ruined! You have failed!" She then head-bunts Jewel, knocking her out as all she saw was the dark after that hit to the head.
