At the Barn all of the Gems, Steven, Violet Pearl, Blue Pearl, Anaya, Yellow Pearl, Pearl, Onyx, Jewel, Peridot, Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl, Garnet were all looking up at Lapis who was standing on the Warp Pad that's in front of them near the barn as she's going on a solo mission to the place known as Mask Island, before she leaves Steven asked. "Are you sure you can do this alone Lapis?"
"I'm sure of it." She told him, knowing he's worried about her, as she goes down to one knee as she placed a hand on his shoulder before telling him with a small smile. "Don't worry Steven, I'll be back as soon as possible." She then gave him a kiss on the lips which he noticed and began to kiss back.
After breaking it they looked at each other with a smile as Lapis blushed. "Promise?" Steven asked her before she nodded. "I promise." She then stood back up and on the Warp before making her Gem glow causing the Warp Pad to activate as when Steven and the others waved to her, she waved back and told Steven.
"I'll try to bring something back from the Island."
Soon the Warp surrounded her in light before faded as she vanished, teleporting to the mission, as after that Steven looked at the others asked worriedly and curiously. "Is Lapis going to be ok?" The others looked at him as Pearl told him. "We're sure she'll be ok, Steven, the mission should be easy and harmless." After telling him he gave a relieved smile, knowing Lapis will be ok.
Meanwhile
At Mask Island, the only Warp Pad there began to glow before fading, revealing Lapis there as she began to look around before stepping off of the Warp Pad, as while looking she smiled and said to herself. "Mask Island. It looks just like the way it is from before." She then began to walk through the forest away from it, while looking she heard the sound of a bush rustle as she looks at it confused.
"Huh?" As it continued she soon brought her guard up and summoned her water powers ready for what could possibly attack, as suddenly what was in the bush came out giving a bark, causing Lapis to become confused as she looked seeing nothing, before hearing another bark, Lapis then looked down before spotting what looked to be a Watermelon with little stubby legs and a snout, with a large black Watermelon seed for a nose and two small ones for eyes.
What's even noticeable of it are its ears which are made of Watermelon leaves and its tail which is stem root with a leaf at the end of it, it then barked again happily, making Lapis un-summon her water powers as she said with a smile. "Hey, there little...Watermelon...Dog?" While saying that as she sat on her knees it went up and began licking her making her smile as she laughed from it, soon after it stopped it looked the direction it came from which Lapis noticed.
"What's wrong?"
The Watermelon Dog then barked as it ran off, as when it did Lapis got up and said. "Wait!" She then chased after the Watermelon Dog as she carefully and quickly pushed large leaves and other plants out of the way to not lose sight of it, soon as she made it through the forest of Mask Island she soon stopped when she noticed a couple of hand-crafted tent-like houses and stone pillars, built around this part of Mask Island.
"This wasn't here before?" When she said that she began to look around before spotting somethings coming out of the tent-like houses as she soon saw that they are what looked to be humanoid Watermelons, almost like the Watermelon Dog, except they all look like Steven, some smaller than the normal sized ones.
Seeing this, Lapis said to herself. "The Watermelon Steven's? So this is where they went after he told them to go." After saying that, the Watermelon Dog barked at her again with a smile as it brought attention to the Watermelon Steven's who looked at her, as when they did they gave a happy expression and began to wave at her as she said with a smile.
"Hi guys, it's been a while since I've seen all of you." When she said that walking up to them as some hugged her, as while hugging some of them, the ones near her began to lift up her dress skirt, which she noticed and blushed when they did that, soon she began to reach for the bottom part of her blue undies as she pulled them aside, exposing her pussy lips to them.
While showing it they looked at her pussy in amazement, but soon after they broke the hug, Lapis' dress went back down as she fixed her undies back before soon asking curiously.
"Is this where you all went to after, what happened back at Beach City?"
The one Watermelon Steven who looked to be the leader of the other Watermelon Steven's, holden a crafted stick, nodded to her and began to speak in its language while pointing at their home with the stick, knowing it was explaining what they did when they first came to the Island she smiled seeing how well they're doing as when the Watermelon Steven finished Lapis said.
"That's good to hear." She then remembered why she's here, on the island and asked. "Oh wait. Watermelon Steven?" It gargled. "Huh?" She then asked curiously. "Do you think, you, and the other Watermelon Steven's could help me?" The Watermelon Steven leader then nodded saying in a gargle again. "Uh-huh."
Lapis soon told them. "I came here for a mission to find what's causing Gem activity here on or near Mask Island. And since you, and the others are living here, I'm wondering if you felt or heard any disturbances nearby?" When finished the Watermelon Steven leader began to think before holding up a finger gesturing a one moment before turning to some of the others talking, before turning back to Lapis as it pointed over to the beach of Mask Island.
"Bagh gah."
She smiled down at him and the others and said. "Thank you, guys." After thanking them she then began to head over to the beach as the Watermelon Steven's moved aside allowing her to head to the beach, as once she got there she began to look around, seeing nothing as she soon said to herself.
"They said it was around here, but where?" Soon as she asked, she then heard what sounded like bubbles, hearing this she then looked over at the ocean water of the beach and began to look closely at it before backing up when the bubbles began to rapidly, before suddenly an orange arm blasted out of the water, shocking Lapis as she backs away saying in a tone of fear. "No...It can't be."
As she said that that's when the rest of the Gem bursts out of the water landing onto a knee, revealing to be the Gem from the Handship, Jasper, looking the same as she was from the last time Lapis and the others encounter her when they crashed landed, soon as she was out of the water, she looked up at Lapis, unsurprisingly noticing her as she said with a hint of anger in the tone of her voice.
"You!" This caused Lapis to back up a bit more before attempting to fly off as Jasper gave a sinister grin and quickly got up, running towards Lapis who was in mid-air before being brought down by her, soon saying after chuckling. "Finally, about time I give those Rebels their retribution!"
After saying that her Gem nose began to glow orange, which Lapis noticed and tried her best to prevent herself from being forced into a fusion, trying to get out of Jaspers grasp only to become wearied as they began fusing, as while in the bright glow the fusion began to form, growing twice the size of Sardonyx as the glow became a greenish-aqua blue color, which the Watermelon Steven's and Dog noticed from the distance as one of them said.
"Huh?" As they looked the glow faded revealing the large fusion, which was known as Malachite, as when she formed she began to stand up and open her four eyes, looking at her arms as she said. "Finally, I can destroy those Crystal Gems without any problems."
She then looked and noticed the home of the Watermelon Steven's, making her look in anger before she grinned wickedly before saying. "But first, a little practice." She then cracked her knuckles, striking a bit of fear into the Watermelon Steven's.
Meanwhile
Back at the barn everyone were either sitting, laying down or doing something else, relaxing as they waited for Lapis to come back, while waiting Steven began to become worried about her and looked over at Pearl as he asked. "Pearl, when is Lapis going to come back?"
"I...Don't know? She was suppose to come back a few minutes ago?"
After telling him Blue Pearl asked. "Did something happen during the mission for her?" When she asked curiously Pearl told her. "No...Everything on the mission for her should've been ok." When she told them Steven then let out a yawn, becoming tired, which they noticed as he began to lay down, while he did Violet Pearl told him.
"Don't worry Steven, we're sure Lapis will be back. She's a strong Gem, nothing can stop her." After telling him, he asked. "Are you sure?" She along with Blue Pearl nodded as he gave a small smile before falling asleep fully as while asleep he began to see a bright glow.
Meanwhile
As the glow faded Steven soon saw what appeared to be the sky as it was a different color from the one he saw before falling asleep, as other than that he also heard the sounds of the island become a little louder, which lead to him to soon jump to his feet, surprised when he noticed his feet were watermelon feet, soon he noticed that his surroundings were different yet, very familiar as he noticed a river nearby.
When he noticed it he then went over and looked at the reflection of the water, trying to see himself in the reflection, but instead of seeing himself he saw the Watermelon version of himself causing him to open his mouth, spitting out a few seeds as he said.
"Bwargh." He then covered his mouth, now knowing he can't speak, as after that he then noticed something in the distance and began to head over to it, as once over there he noticed a couple of tents-like houses on the Island seeing that they're made of tree wood and large plant leaves and other things, while seeing this he noticed it looked abandoned and shouted curiously. "Ba-wa!"
After trying to say hello, he suddenly heard other sounds, sounding similar to his before seeing other Watermelon versions of himself, screaming in what looked to be terror as one ran up to him, placing its hands on his shoulder shouting. "Wah!" Before running off, confusing Steven as he began to head towards what they were all running away from, soon seeing a large cloud of dust as there was peices of other buildings that were flying from the cloud, confusing Steven as he watched.
"Huh?" When the cloud began to fade away he then began look closely, even more confused before spotting what was causing the problem, as it was the fusion Lapis was forced into by Jasper, Malachite, when he looked closely he immediately knew who the fusion is made of, seeing that the upper torso and arms belong to Lapis.
While the bottom torso and arms which acted like legs for the fusion belonged to the Gem he hasn't seen in a long time, Jasper, scarring him to shock as he said. "Bah!" Soon as he said that the fusion then stopped attack and looked over at him with her four eyes and said in Lapis' voice worried. "Steven?" Just then a growl came from Malachite belonging to Jasper as she said in anger.
"Steven!" Malachite then opens her mouth and rushes towards Steven as he screamed and covered himself with his arms for protection before hearing nothing but a biting sound.
Back at the Barn
After seeing the sky again Steven shoots up from where he was asleep on, waking up, panting as he heard Pearl ask. "Didn't you feel that?" Anaya asked confused. "Feel what?" Yellow Pearl then told her and the others.
"The ground shook! This could be the start of the emergence of the Cluster. Stage 1: slight tremors every quarter hour. Stage 2: full-scale earthquakes. Stage 3: the Earth is destroyed! We're running out of time. We need to drill right now!"
Steven then runs over to them and tells them. "No, it's not the Cluster! It's Jasper forced Lapis into fusing with her into this giant fusion!" They then shouted shocked except for Anaya who doesn't know who Jasper is. "Jasper?!"
"What?"
Steven then began to tell them. "I was on Mask Island. I was in a Watermelon Steven. They have a lovely community, but then I saw the fusion Jasper forced Lapis go into, she was there!" This caused Soren to cough out a bite of the sandwich he, Amethyst and Pink Pearl were sharing as Pearl said. "This isn't good, if Jasper overpowers Lapis, there's no telling what she'll make Malachite bring destruction to."
"Malachite? Is she that fusion I saw?" Pearl nodded to Steven before continuing. "We need to go and stop that unstable fusion from causing any harm to anyone nearby the Mask Island." She then looked at the others including Steven and said. "Alright, Gems, Steven, Violet, Blue, Soren, Amethyst, Pink, Garnet, Yellow, Onyx, and I will warp to Mask Island to stop Malachite and save Lapis and the Watermelon Stevens."
She then looked at Anaya, Peridot and her Daughter. "Jewel, Peridot, Anaya, it's too dangerous for you three. Stay here and watch after the Drill." She then said to the others. "Let's go, Gems! To the nearest warp pad!" They all, minus the three shouted. "To the nearest Warp Pad!" They then ran towards it and Warped to Mask Island just as another quake happened as Anaya asked curiously yet worried.
"Isn't Jasper that other Gem that was with Yellow and Blue Pearl on that Gem Ship you guys told me about before?" When she asked they gave a nod to her as Peridot said. "Yes, she's the one that tried to bring us all back to Homeworld back then. Luckily we were able to stop that from happening by throwing her into the core of the Gem Ship, right Jewel."
Jewel nodded with a smile before another tremor happened, causing them to try to stay balanced before it stopped as Jewel looked at the Warp Pad and knew what she must do as she told the two. "I gotta help them! I know they told us to stay because it was too dangerous, but they're going to need help."
"Isn't there a possible way you can get there to help them, without leaving?" When Anaya asked curiously Jewel began to think for a moment before realizing as she smiled. "Yes...Yes, there is! Almost like Steven, if I fall asleep I can take control of a hologram form of me and take the Warp Pad to go over where they're at. This way, I can help them and be safe at the same time."
As she began to lay down Peridot asked curiously and worriedly. "Want us to watch over you in case something with the Cluster happens?" Jewel nodded with a smile. "Sure Peridot, and don't worry, I'll be ok." Peridot smiled too as she and Anaya watched as Jewel fell asleep with her Gem beginning to glow, forming the hologram of herself, who soon fully formed and opened her eyes as she looked at the two.
"I'll be right back guys."
After telling them as she waved heading to the Warp Pad, they waved back too and watched as she warped away to help the others that're going to stop Malachite from harming anybody.
Mask Island
After Warping to Mask Island Jewel as her hologram appears from it and begins to run to the beach, where Malachite was being restrained by Lapis' water chains who was trying to fight back, as while she was Pearl said. "Alright. Let's put an end to this." She then looks at Yellow, Blue, and Violet Pearl and said as she hands out her hand.
"Ready?" They nodded and began to do their fusion dance sequence, ending it with a kiss as they began to fuse, forming a Giant Pearl, while forming, Malachite on Jasper's side said to Lapis. "Give up! Argh!" Malachite then breaks Lapis' chains and exhales after struggling out of the water chains as she said. "I'm impressed. You really held out."
"Malachite!" She looked over at the Giant Pearl fusion that called her as Malachite on Lapis' side said. "Huh? They're here...Guys!" She then grunts as she said on Jasper's side. "Ugh, Stop! Pathetic! I've had enough with you Lapis, we're going to be this thing together wither you like it, or not! And while we are, why don't we have some fun?"
Soon the Giant Pearl told Malachite. "We don't have to fight! You're outnumbered. Just give Lapis back to us and will let you go off with a warning." Malachite chuckles and raises two water fists up as she told them from Jasper's side.
"I may be outnumbered, but I'm not going to coward out of this fight! I can't wait to tear you Gems apart!" Giant Pearl then got ready to battle as she and Malachite fight, eventually, Malachite sends Giant Pearl to the floor, who's hand breaks a Warp Pad back to the barn, before getting back up as Malachite threw two punches at her only for Giant Pearl to catch them and try to push her back.
While doing that Jewel as a hologram walked onto the beach towards the others and the fight as she shouted for them to hear. "Mom, Dad, everyone!" They all looked at her, including Giant Pearl who's still holding Malachite back as Onyx asked. "Jewel? Is that you?" She nodded to him and said.
"Yes, but it's a hologram of me I'm controlling, Mom didn't want me to get hurt so I improvised and came here as a Hologram." When she told them Giant Pearl then gave a smile and said. "That's a good idea Jewel. But is everything ok back at the barn?" She nodded to her. "Peridot and Anaya are watching over the Drill and me till I come back. Don't worry everything's ok back at the barn."
After telling them, Giant Pearl then looked back at Malachite and knocked her back, continuing to fight, while fighting Jewel in hologram form summoned her weapon like the others are, but after doing that she began to notice someone's missing from them and asked.
"Uh guys? Where's Steven?" When she asked they began to look around for him, unaware that he's looking for the Watermelon Steven's that have went in hiding from the fight, as while looking he soon realized where they must be and began running towards a waterfall, where quakes of the battle can be heard.
Once in it he soon saw all of them whimpering and or crying as while there he soon saw the Watermelon Dog run to his side as he then looked back at the Watermelon Steven's and told them in angry grunts many times, giving a speech which they were being inspired by as after he finished he then asked.
"Now what do you all say we go out there and help out our friends?!" All of the Watermelon Steven Leader pumps its stick up and down as some of the other Watermelon Stevens grunt and pump their fists in rhythm with the stick as more join in while they grunt a war cry and march in a line on a path following Steven out of the waterfall.
Meanwhile
During the fight, Hologram Jewel, Onyx, Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl, Garnet were giving everything they got to beat Malachite to save Lapis and help Giant Pearl in the fight before being knocked by water as Malachite pins Giant Pearl against cliff. "You know, you're right." When Malachite said that Giant Pearl attempts to slash her with the Spear, only for Malachite to punch her as she continued.
"There really is something more to this fusion thing. It's not just a cheap trick." She then throws her into the ocean as Giant Pearl screams before splashing into the ocean. "You've really shown me a whole new world of possibilities."
Giant Pearl begins to get up before Malachite said to her. "Allow me to thank you." She then forms a pair of water hands that close around Giant Pearl and freezes. "Sorry, but there's only room for one abomination on this measly planet." Jasper in the Malachite fusion laughs before being interrupted by a horn being blown.
"Huh?" She looks and sees a bunch of the Watermelon Stevens emerge on to the beach as Steven blows a shell horn again, making a number of Watermelon Stevens appear and grunt as they clang their spears against Malachite's hands, while others fire arrows from bows into Malachite, who laughs and chuckles, unaffected by the attacks as Steven blows in the shell horn again.
Suddenly several catapults launch stones at Malachite while the some of the Gems slash her legs with their swords as Amethyst did the same but with her Whip while Pink Pearl blasted Plasma balls at her with Garnet launching her Gauntlets at her, stopping the evil Fusions laughter as one Watermelon Steven in a skirt makes a war cry as it falls towards Malachite's eye as she said confused and shocked.
"Huh?" The Watermelon Steven in a skirt punches Malachite's eye, which is Jasper's eye, making a squishing sound, causing Malachite to back up and trip over a rope and fall to the ground, where more Watermelons punch her as Giant Pearl breaks out of the ice hands, breathing heavily trying to catch her breath.
While she did Malachite said. "What is this?! You think you can hold me down?!" When she asked in anger she throws some Watermelon Stevens into the air as some of them splat on the ground as she shouts. "Nobody can! Not anymore." She then prepares to step on Steven and the Watermelon Mutt along with the Gems attacking her before Giant Pearl shouts.
"Hey!"
Giant Pearl grabs Malachite and hits her in the face as she then said. "Don't forget about me! Also sorry Lapis." After saying that she then pulls in Malachite, punches her, and strongly smacks her into the air with her hand, which Malachite summons her water wings and looks down at them before she gasps as Giant Pearl prepares to shoot her with a large ball of plasma.
"You two should spend some time apart." She then fires the ball of Plasma, which turns into a shape of the four Pearls, holding hands before piercing Malachite, causing her to crack up as light shoots out of the cracks before she glowed and explodes, causing hologram Jewel, the Gems, and other Watermelons to cheer while Jasper and Lapis fall to the ground after they defused.
Soon Giant Pearl walks to the beach, with Lapis in one hand and Jasper in the other after catching them, soon she falls to her knees, putting them down, groaning before she unfused back to Pearl, Yellow Pearl, Blue Pearl, and Violet Pearl who land, when they did they began to pant from exhaustion, and then laughed as Blue and Violet held onto Lapis, while holding her, Pearl said.
"We...We won."
Just then the Gems went up to the Pearls and hugged them happy they won, after hugging Pearl looked at Jewel in her hologram form and smiled as she said. "Thank you for helping us save Lapis and stop Jasper from causing anymore destruction Jewel." She smiled and said. "Thank you Mom."
"And thank you Steven for getting the Watermelon Steven's to help us." He smiled and said. "Welcome Pearl." After telling her, Pearl then told them with a smile. "Ok team, let's go..."
Before she finished an earthquake, causing them to catch their balance while Jasper slides into a crack in the ground after Pearl fails to grab her as they watched Jewel sworn she saw Jasper clench her fist before falling into the cracks of the ground as Jewel and the others looked at the Watermelon Steven's who were being separated by them as Watermelon Dog barks at them.
"It must be the cluster. Yellow Pearl's right." After saying that Pearl then looked at Jewel in her hologram form along with the others as she said. "Jewel, it's up to you, Peridot and Anaya. The warp was destroyed. We won't make it back in time." After telling Jewel she nodded knowing it's up to her, Peridot and Anaya as Pearl continued. Wake up, get Peridot and Anaya, and start drilling. The Earth needs you three."
After telling her Onyx then told Jewel. "We'll be fine Jewel. You can do this. We believe in you." The others agreed nodding or telling her as Steven said. "You got this Jewel." Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl said. "You know the Drill."
"Becareful, Jewel." Blue Pearl told her. "Watch each other's backs." Violet Pearl then told her before Pearl said. "And Jewel." Both her and Onyx said to her. "We love you."
