Meanwhile on Earth

Lapis has been frantic trying to get a hold of Blaze all night. She was supposed to be back to Beach City by now, but she never came. Lapis has even tried calling her, but no signal. Peridot had even tried calling her and got the same results. They even tried texting her and none of them went through. They immediately told Steven and the rest of the Crystal Gems, and they began searching everywhere in Beach City and Little Homeworld, but no one has seen her. Now they were at Steven's house waiting on Steven to finish calling the Diamonds and wait for the next move.

"This is weird, usually she would respond to my calls and messages," said Lapis

"I know, it's not like her to not answer the phone. Usually, she would let us know if she is running late," said Peridot

"We even looked at the arrivals coming into the airport, and it said that Blaze's plane made it in on time. I hope nothing has happened."

Amethyst was trying to use her phone to reach Blaze and she has the same level of luck as Peridot and Lapis.

"Blaze is still not answering I'm getting worried," said Amethyst

"I'm sure we might be able to find her, some of the motels on the way here don't have good cell service and she probably stopped at one of them," said Pearl trying to reassure everyone

Greg and Garnet walked into the house having just got done visiting the motels on the route to Beach City which as Pearl mentioned don't have good cell service.

"What news?" asked Pearl

"We went to every single motel on the road leading to town, they said she didn't check in to any of them," said Greg

Looks of worry and concern etch onto Lapis, Peridot, Amethyst, and Pearl's faces.

"This is not good," said Garnet

"What are we going to do then?" asked Lapis

Steven came downstairs also having a look of concern and worry on his face.

"I just got done calling the Diamonds and they said they haven't seen her, but they are going to ask around Homeworld if they have," he said

"Well, what do we do now?" asked Lapis

Bismuth, Jasper, Helix, and Vulcan Greyheart, who is Blaze's uncle, arrived at the Temple from the warp pad.

"Any sign of her?" asked Lapis

"No. We looked in the Prime and Beta Kindergartens, we looked in the Strawberry Battlefield. We even looked in the old Moon Base!" Jasper explained

"We even searched my Forge even though it was the last place we expected to find her. She always said my Forge needs a thermostat. But overall, no sign of her," said Bismuth

Bismuth remembered the day she met Blaze, it was around the same time Steven unbubbled her from Lion's mane. Not long after being introduced to Steven and Amethyst and getting reacquainted with Garnet and Pearl, Blaze showed up at the house with some pizza and was surprised to see Bismuth there. She and the others explained everything that has happened in the thousands of years she had been bubbled, they told her that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond, and of how Lapis, Jasper, and Peridot defected from Homeworld. Bismuth and Blaze got along pretty quickly. Blaze even showed Bismuth some of her firearms and what they are capable of doing which had impressed Bismuth. She ended up making Blaze some cortosis tipped bullets which Blaze still uses. When Blaze first entered the Forge, she recommended that Bismuth install a thermostat. The two of them even sparred together.

It did not take Bismuth long to figure out that Blaze is Force sensitive. Gems are not only made out of light, but Force energy as well. Gems and Force users have a unique interaction which involves them enhancing and even reenergizing each other. A Force-user's connection to the Force is increased exponentially, their Force abilities become augmented, and they can be reenergized if a Gem is nearby. A Gem can in turn be reenergized a Force-user, if poofed a Force-user can speed up a Gem's regeneration process and make a full recovery, Force healing can even work on a Gem's gemstone. A Gem can even be supercharged by a Force-user to their fullest potential. In order for that to work, a Force-user has to be in close proximity to a Gem, both of them have to be in battle, the Force-user has to use the Force on the Gem's gemstone or even touch the gemstone while using the Force.

Blaze and the Crystal Gems found that out when Blaze, Amethyst, and Steven went to clear out some corrupted Gems that resemble giant rats the size of a pickup truck hiding in an abandoned four-story hotel at New Orleans. The Rat Gems put up quite a fight, two of them even forced Amethyst upstairs. Steven didn't see one of them about to strike, so Blaze shoved him out of the way and used Force push on the corrupted Gem to knock it away and make it strike the wall so hard it poofed. However, they were surrounded by more Rat Gems and Amethyst was stuck upstairs. What Blaze didn't realize is that when she shoved Steven out of the way while using the Force, she touched Steven's gemstone and had accidentally activated his pink state and diamond abilities (from what White Diamond and Garnet would tell her) a few years early. This led to Steven glowing pink and triggering a pink energy shockwave that instantly poofed the remaining Rat Gems and took out the hotel's support beams causing it to start collapsing but then Steven returned to normal and passed out. Amethyst had poofed and bubbled the last Rat Gem upstairs when the building started to collapse. Amethyst rushed to Blaze and Steven's location and asked Blaze what had happened. Not having any time to explain, they took Steven and the Rat Gems' gemstones that have not been bubbled and rushed out of the collapsing building barely even making it out with their lives.

If Blaze is not at any of the motels, Homeworld, Beach City, Little Homeworld, or any of the locations Jasper mentioned then the situation is bad. Really bad. There was only one other option now.

"We need to call the police," said Vulcan

"I thought you have to wait forty-eight hours before calling the police about a missing person," said Peridot

"That only happens on TV and movies, Peridot. Besides, you've been watching CSI tv shows with Blaze too much." said Helix

Vulcan got his phone out and dialed 911 to which he put on speaker.

"This is 911, what's the address of your emergency?" The dispatcher asked

"Hello officers, we need to file a missing person report. My niece was supposed to come home from her trip last night, but she never showed up and we have not heard from her in twelve hours." Vulcan explained

"We checked in with the airport, we tried to call and text her, we even looked everywhere. We couldn't find her," said Steven

"Can you describe the missing person for me?" asked the dispatcher

"She is eighteen years old, five feet six inches tall, weighs one hundred twenty-five pounds, red hair, blue right eye, and green left eye. She also has a scar across her right eye and two scars across her left eye as well as a small scar on her neck. She wears a black baseball cap, gray wolf head necklace, black and white sneakers, blue jeans, a black leather jacket with red orange flames, and a white t-shirt underneath said jacket. She drives a black 2015 Chevy Camaro with red orange flame decals." Vulcan described

"Okay, I'll send some officers down to discuss the next move with you and a missing person's report will be filed."

The police are on their way, in the meantime everyone decides to make missing person posters with Blaze's picture on it.

When Blaze woke up, she found herself laying on what appeared to be a hospital bed hooked up to an IV and heart monitor. The pain from the gunshot wounds were gone. She heard voices outside the door. One of them sounded like an older slightly deeper version of Peridot's voice and the other sounded like Miranda Lawson from the Mass Effect video games.

"Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?" asked the Miranda Lawson sounding voice asked

"I'm telling you Andesine, while I was helping Zed and Emda, as soon as I used my ferrokinesis to take the projectiles out of her body, some pink glowing energy emanated from her wounds. Almost as quickly as they appeared they were gone, and the wounds healed instantly!" Old Timer exclaimed

Blaze had realized what they were talking about. She ended up getting a blood transfusion from Steven's blood. What happened was that the Enigma Ring kidnapped Steven the second time as well as somehow poofing and capturing the Diamonds. Blaze and Lord Scourge had stormed their headquarters, but Blaze sustained injuries so bad that while in the process of escaping with Steven and the Diamonds she ended up passing out from blood loss. It took Alexandrite as well as Jasper and Lapis fusing into Malachite again to rip open the roof and get them out of the burning and collapsing oil rig that was sinking into the ocean. Jasper and Lapis fusing again despite their well past experience should say a lot in how dire the situation was. Steven and the Diamonds were unhurt, but Blaze had to be airlifted to the hospital. Scourge did not survive, and Blaze still has his lightsaber. Overall, Blaze had dealt the final blow to the Enigma Ring. Steven went in the helicopter with her. When they got to the hospital Blaze had to undergo a blood transfusion. Steven offered to donate, despite being a Gem-human hybrid he has the same blood type as Blaze. No one has any idea what was in Steven's gemstone that created his healing powers, but it ended up in his blood.

After Blaze received the blood, it healed her wounds including the ones that should've been fatal in less than twelve hours. Then she discovered some more aftereffects. Any cut or wound she got was healed immediately, she also noticed her blood was turned into a pinkish-red tone, her Force healing became much more enhanced, and one day while she was making dinner, she accidently chopped her own thumb off while cutting a carrot. What happened next shocked her, some glowing pink tendrils came out of the wound to reach out and meld with the insides of the detached thumb then reattach it back to her hand.

Blaze looked around the room and noticed right next to her bedside was a table with a tray of food, a glass of water on, and her baseball cap on it. She picked one of the two dweezel pastries from the plate and stared at it curiously. From some of the movies she watched where humans end up with aliens, the human characters can't seem to stomach alien food. What she is looking at appears edible and reminds her of a Danish pastry back on Earth. Well, she is on a different planet so she might as well get over whatever hang ups she has and take whatever food she can get. She took a bite

"Not bad. Not bad at all," said Blaze

It was not as bad as she first thought, it even tasted like a Danish.

The door opening pulled Blaze out of her thoughts as Old Timer and Andesine walked in.

"You are one tough human, didn't expect you to be up yet," said Old Timer

"Zed! Emda! She just woke up!" Andesine called

Zed and Emda walk inside the room upon being called in.

"You had us all worried kid," said Zed

"What happened? How did I even get here?" asked Blaze

"We heard a slugthrower go off last night, so we sent Chewbacca, Vesuvianite, Onyx, and our two boys to investigate, they found you and your Earth vehicle, brought you here to us, then we tended to your wounds." Zed explained

"They also told us you were bound, and a bag was right next to you which they believed was used to cover your head. Can you tell us what happened?" asked Emda

Blaze puts her hat on and begins to explain to everyone what happened.

"I was on Earth returning home to Beach City after a trip to Alaska." Blaze explained

"If you're from Earth, how did you end up all the way out here on Tatooine?" asked Andesine

"I was getting to that." Blaze picks up her hat, puts it on her head, then moves it backwards

"I was driving on the road on my way home, when my car drove over something, slipped off the road, and crashed into a tree which knocked me out. Then I woke up to find a bag on my head, my hands cuffed, my legs tied. As soon as Eyeball took the bag off me that is when I figured out that I ended up on Tatooine." Blaze explained

"Who is Eyeball?" asked Zed

"She is a Ruby that tried to kill one of my friends and she and Aquamarine, who also kidnapped several of my friends, they both wanted to kill me." Blaze explained

"There were also several more Gems involved: a Fire Agate, Bloodstone, Serpentine, Cobalt, Rutile Quartz, Lepidolite, and a Rose Quartz that calls herself 'Blood Rose' Eyeball was the one who used my own gun on me." Blaze continued

"You mean this?" Emda held out Blaze's .44 magnum

"Yes." Blaze answered as Emda handed it back to her

"Those Gems did not agree with the changes in Gem culture in recent years," said Blaze

"You mean when Steven Universe pacified the Diamonds?" asked Andesine

"How did you guys know that?" asked Blaze

"Half of the galaxy already knows about it." another voice was heard at the doorway

Everyone looked to see Serendibite enter the room.

"Hello Serendibite, how is the Bayonet coming along?" asked Old Timer

"Well Old Timer, Star Sapphire and Star Ruby said that they are going to need more parts for it and anyway back on topic. The Galactic Senate of the Republic has stars knows how many diplomats and certain Jedi like Kenobi himself are skilled negotiators, but all it took was a Gem-human hybrid kid to get the Diamonds to stop their conquests, hopefully for good," said Serendibite "I'm not judging, what the kid did is pretty impressive, even the Jedi themselves were impressed. Rumor has it that if the Diamonds so much as destroy even a single planet again, the Republic has some kind of backup plan to shut them down and now it looks like Universe saved them a hell of a lot of trouble."

"Holy crap, looks like Steven unknowingly helped out the Galactic Republic," said Blaze

Blaze had only heard about the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic from stories that Scourge had told her and from the stories Lars told everyone about his travels as well as what she overheard from the Diamonds. During his journey back to Earth with the Off Colors Lars ran afoul of some space pirates and two Jedi ended up getting him and the Off Colors out of the situation, they even distracted Emerald and bought them time to escape. Growing up Blaze was told by Scourge that her family once had a connection with the Jedi Order. She had no idea what that meant. Scourge told her he would show her once she was old and mature enough, considering the fact that he had passed away two years ago that had never come to pass.

"What is the Bayonet anyway?" asked Blaze

"We'll show you." Serendibite walked out of the room and everyone else followed her out of the room and to the garage

Inside the garage, is a ship that resembles a blue version of Emerald's ship the Destiny Destroyer, but it was heavily damaged. Working on it are Gale, Coltor, Onyx, Vesuvianite, Chewbacca and Zikku as well as what appeared to be a pinkish red version of Ruby and a version of Sapphire with blue markings in her hair and both of them have a star marking on their face and on their gemstones.

"Oi! Star Ruby! Star Sapphire! Everyone! Get over here, our guest woke up!" Serendibite called them

"Oh, thank the Force and every god that exists you're okay," said Coltor as he and the the others approached the group

"I'm guessing that's the Bayonet?" Blaze points at the ship

"Damn right that is. We've had this old thing ever since the Rebellion on Earth several thousand years ago. The old girl has been cranking for this long until six months ago." Vesuvianite explained

"The damn engine died on us, and we are having a hard time looking for a replacement," said Old Timer

"It was really nice of Zed, Coltor, Gale, and Emda to let us crash at their place," said Star Sapphire

"Guys I don't think we've been introduced to our guest yet," said Star Ruby

Everyone else realized that they don't even know Blaze's name yet and Blaze realized that she had never introduced herself to the people who saved her life last night.

"My apologies, where are our manners? My name is Emda Paru." Emda introduces herself to Blaze "This is my boyfriend, Zed Churv." Emda walked towards Zed and gave him a kiss and they both held hands

Blaze wondered how Zed was even able to kiss Emda with his tentacles.

"These are our two boys, Coltor Sirmak and Gale Moonstorm. They are two of the people who brought you to us." Zed introduces Coltor and Gale

"The name is Zikku Drakko." Zikku introduces himself

"I'm Serendibite but, you heard the old geezer of an Era One Peridot Old Timer call me that." Serendibite introduced herself

"(My name is Chewbacca.)" said Chewbacca

All Blaze heard is roars and growls coming from Chewbacca, and she didn't understand it. "Uh, what is he saying?"

"He's saying his name is Chewbacca. Zed, Emda I don't know about you but, we need to teach this kid Shyriiwook," said Old Timer

"Why do they call you 'Old Timer'?" asked Blaze

"Obviously, I'm much older than the rest of you. When you hit seventy-five thousand years old, you tend to see a lot and go through a lot of shit, I am probably one of the oldest living Peridots and the name pretty much stuck," said Old Timer

Blaze had gotten the idea from this interaction that this particular Era One Peridot might be a snarkier, older, foul-mouthed, and slightly grumpier version of Peridot. Blaze had to guess that if you put Peridot back in her limb enhancers and place her right next to Old Timer, they would be the same height.

First, I met a little green space Dorito, now I met a big green space Dorito. Blaze thought to herself

"I'm Vesuvianite, and the big red and black bruiser with a mohawk standing next to me is Onyx," said Vesuvianite

"Ves and I alongside Chewie are the ones who helped Coltor and Gale bring you here last night," said Onyx

"I am Andesine," said Andesine

"I'm Star Ruby and this is Star Sapphire," Star Ruby introduces herself and Star Sapphire

Blaze took a good look at Star Ruby and Star Sapphire. They kind of remind her of Ruby and Sapphire. Star Sapphire and Sapphire would look similar to each other if not for Star Sapphire's star marking on her face and gem as well as the markings on her hair. Star Ruby if not for the star marking on her face and gem, she would look like a pinkish version of a normal ruby. Blaze wondered if they would fuse into Star Garnet and if so, would Star Garnet look similar to Garnet.

Star Sapphire notices that Blaze was deep in thought "Is everything alright?"

"It's just that you both remind me of someone, well the fusion components of someone I know," said Blaze

"I am Blaze Greyheart." Blaze introduces herself

The room went silent for a moment and then Chewbacca and the Gems in the room started murmuring.

"Is something wrong?" asked Blaze in a concerned tone

"Greyheart. Greyheart. That is a name we haven't heard in years," said Star Sapphire

"Now that you've mentioned it, the kid does kind of look like Zoey, except Zoey does not have heterochromia. Her eyes are green," said Onyx

Did they say Zoey? Are they talking about my mom? Blaze thought as she found herself wondering how these Gems knew her mother.

"You guys know my mother?"

"Is Zoey Greyheart really your mother?" asked Old Timer

Blaze pulled her phone out and showed the Gems a photo of her and Zoey taken the day she let Blaze drive her 1970 Dodge Challenger for the first time. The Gems took a closer look at the photo and noticed how much time had passed. Zoey's frame is still lean and muscular as it was during her younger days. They noticed that there were fine lines on Zoey's face and parts of her red hair had turned gray, her hair was in a ponytail. Zoey looked almost like an older version of Blaze.

Chewbacca opened up one of the pockets in his bandolier, took out a polaroid photo, and showed it to Blaze whose eyes widened in surprise at what she saw. In the photo was Chewbacca, Scourge, the Gems in the room, Vulcan when he was four years old, and her mother who looked like Blaze in the photo. No fine lines, no ponytail, no gray in her hair. She wore a bomber jacket, black shirt, brown cargo pants, and black combat boots. In the photo Blaze noticed three other individuals: a Rose Quartz, an Amethyst and bearded man with long hair wearing Jedi attire with gray-blue eyes.

The Rose Quartz in question has the same skin tone as Pink Diamond's Rose Quartz form, just like any Rose Quartz she has pink hair, her eyes are a darker shade of pink, her gemstone is located on her right upper arm. She is wearing red pants, black bracers, black boots, black tank top, and a white belt.

"Oh my God," said Blaze

She has seen photos of what her mother looked like when she was that age and it is fascinating, yet weird how much the two of them look similar to each other.

"Who are the Rose Quartz, Amethyst and the guy in the photo?" asked Blaze

"The Rose Quartz? That was Rosethorn. During the Crystal Gem Rebellion, Curly, the Amethyst you see in the photo, and I fought during that time on the side of Homeworld. We were pinned down by the Crystal Gems in an area on Earth that your people call Japan. Curly and I were almost poofed until Rosethorn came in and saved us. Rose Quartzes are known for their healing abilities. We fought alongside each other for many years. One day Pink Diamond faked her own shattering which was a massive shock for everyone on Homeworld." Vesuvianite explains

"The Diamonds have ordered every single Rose Quartz to Homeworld so the Diamonds 'can decide their fate'." Vesuvianite swallowed hard at that final part

"The Rose Quartzes have been treated differently by the rest of Homeworld after what happened. Curly and I didn't want to lose our friend. We were worried that Rosethorn would be shattered or worse. I've heard of Homeworld forces imprisoning Gems inside of mirrors for Force knows how long and I heard that it was a fate worse than death," said Vesuvianite

"Curly, Andesine, and I started sneaking Rosethorn to a Homeworld ship hangar. On the way there, we ran into Onyx and Serendibite, who were fighting for the Crystal Gems. Not long after we got to the hangar, we stole the Bayonet and got the hell out of there. After we left, we got jobs as mercenaries." Vesuvianite finished

"What happened to Curly and Rosethorn?" asked Blaze

"Well three years ago during a trip to Kiros, Curly met a Togruta girl named Zotam Harno, and they hit it off. Curly chose to stay with her, married her, and had a kid with her." said Andesine

"They did WHAT?!"

"Calm down Blaze, Curly wasn't the one that was pregnant. She didn't give up her physical form like Rose Quartz aka Pink Diamond did when she had Steven Universe. Zotam was the one that was pregnant, and Curly is still here," said Star Ruby

Star Sapphire got out a holo-photo which showed Curly with an arm wrapped around Zotam, who is the red Togruta in the holo-photo. Both of them are holding a baby Togruta-Gem hybrid. The hybrid in question has Zotam's markings, she has inherited Curly's purple skin, just like Curly the baby has her amethyst gemstone on her left forearm.

Blaze had breathed a sigh of relief at this. For a long time, she assumed, though was not sure if it was possible, that if Gems can shapeshift womb and female genitalia to get pregnant, maybe they might be able to impregnate someone by shapeshifting male genitalia. As Blaze learned more about Gemkind from the Crystal Gems and the Diamonds, Blaze started hearing about Gemlings and that before the kindergartens were created Gems used to reproduce similar to humans and other species, but the Gems have to shapeshift the correct parts in order for that to happen and have to go into heat. Now, with the realization that Gems can impregnate someone, when she gets back home, she and Lapis are going to have to be a little more careful with well…certain activities.

"And what about Rosethorn?" asked Blaze

Saddened looks appeared on the Gems faces. Something terrible must have happened.

"Two years ago, last month we were hired to go to Mustafar to rescue Lexi Dio, the senator of Uyter, from those Black Sun crooks. We busted into their hideout and got the senator out, but the Black Sun thugs put up quite a fight and it damaged their facility which started sinking into the lava." Vesuvianite's voice broke as a tear streamed down her face

"Rosethorn distracted them long enough for the rest of us to escape, she saved our lives. But she gave up her own," Star Ruby said sadly

"My God, I'm so sorry," said Blaze

"Thank you," said Serendibite "It's been over two years and it is still hard on all of us."

"What about the guy in the robes?" asked Blaze

"That guy is the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He used to travel with us alongside your mom and Vulcan," said Star Ruby

"We crashed landed on Earth and met your mother when she was about fifteen years old at the time. She managed help me repair the Bayonet and she alongside Scourge, who we all haven't seen in many millennia have started traveling with us since," said Star Ruby

"(I first met your mother, Scourge, and the Gems of the Bayonet when my father, Wookiee Chieftain Attichitcuk called them over to Kashyyyk to help deal with some problems involving Trandoshan slavers. After the lizards were chased out, I began traveling with them.) Chewbacca explained

"Your uncle began traveling with us when Scourge and Zoey told us that Zoey's parents died in what they call a plane crash a few years after the Trandoshan incident on Kashyyyk, Vulc was only three years old at the time and he alongside your mom, who just turned eighteen she did not take it well," said Onyx

Blaze remembered what her mother, uncle, and Scourge told her about how their parents, her grandparents, Aiden and Dalia Greyheart had died in a plane crash enroute to Florida Island to celebrate their twenty years of marriage. A police officer came to the house to inform Zoey when she and Scourge were babysitting Vulcan that her parents died due to an engine failure in the plane which caused it to crash, killing nearly everyone on board. Scourge had decided to step up and help Zoey raise Vulcan.

"When did you guys meet Qui-Gon?" asked Blaze

"We were getting to that," said Old Timer

"Old Timer, are you sure you want to talk about it? Wasn't that before?" asked Zed

"Before what?" asked Blaze

"Before Dooku turned into an asshole Sith and started this whole fracking Clone War mess," said Old Timer

"I thought you didn't want us to talk about him," said Gale

"Well since she is Zoey's daughter and Vulcan's niece, she should know."

"Who is Dooku?" asked Blaze

"You don't know?" asked Coltor

"Coltor, even though Earth is a Mid to Outer Rim border world, the humans living there rely on primitive technology, so they were cut off from the rest of the galaxy until in recent years," said Emda

"Dooku was a Jedi who taught Qui-Gon into the man he was. We were tracking down a group of nine dangerous bounty hunters who escaped from prison and holed themselves up at Hoth. While we were chasing them Zoey got separated from us during an avalanche. She was found by Qui-Gon and Dooku who have nursed her back to health. It just so happened that Qui-Gon and Dooku were after the same bounty hunters when they started causing problems for the Jedi. After Qui-Gon and Dooku brought Zoey back to us they helped us take those bounty hunters down. Sometime after that, we worked with them again when an anti-Force-user organization popped up, hellbent on wiping out every Force-user off the face of this galaxy." Old Timer started

"They were trying to poison the Jedi Temple's water supply with a bio-engineered plague designed specifically to kill Force-users in an attempt to wipe out the Jedi Order. We, alongside Dooku and Qui-Gon, managed to stop them. Over the years we often run into Qui-Gon in our travels whether he would be with Dooku or his padawan, or apprentice in Jedi terms, Obi-Wan Kenobi. There were even times when Zoey, Vulcan, and Scourge returned to Earth and spent time with the Crystal Gems. Zoey told us about the corrupted Gems. Eventually Helix also started traveling with us. Zoey became quite smitten with Qui-Gon. All of that went on for years until eighteen years ago when Zoey was pregnant with you. We said goodbye to her, Helix, Vulcan, and Scourge on Earth. She told us she wanted to raise you on Earth and didn't want you involved in the space traveling lifestyle until you were fully grown. That was the last time we saw them. Then eight years later, Qui-Gon was killed on Naboo, Dooku left the Order and pushed us away. For the past ten years he built up the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As soon as we heard the news about Geonosis we knew, Dooku was not the same guy we knew anymore." Old Timer finished

The Gems and Chewbacca looked at Blaze expectantly hoping she would provide them a life update about Helix, Zoey, Scourge, and Vulcan.

"How are they? How have they been doing all these years?" asked Onyx

Blaze sighed sadly and began to break the news to them.

"I'm sorry to tell all of you this, but my mom and Scourge died two years ago." Blaze pulled out Scourge's lightsaber

"Oh no," said Vesuvianite quietly

"Starsdamnit!" Old Timer shouted and angrily kicked a nearby trash can, knocking it down

The Gems in the room were shocked and saddened at this news. Time appeared to stand still. Everything stopped. For a few minutes no one said a word as they tried to process this information. That is until Chewbacca and Andesine spoke.

"(What about Vulcan and Helix?)"

"Yeah, what about Vulcan and Helix?"

"They both are still around." Blaze drew her phone out, looked for some images and found a picture of Vulcan and Helix during a Fourth of July party at a beach in Beach City

The Gems gather around in front of the phone.

"Hey guys look at Vulc!" Onyx exclaimed

"I know, last time we saw him, he was just a lanky fifteen-year-old kid with some peach fuzz forming on his upper lip. Look at him now! He buffed up and grew a muttonstache," said Vesuvianite

Zed and Emda showed Blaze around the rest of the Homestead and even offered her the guest house to stay in. Old Timer informed her that she and Star Ruby managed to repair the Camaro which had been placed inside the garage with the Bayonet. It was now nightfall and Blaze was watching the twin suns go down. She was deep in thought. The Hard Stone Collective was out there somewhere. Many unanswered questions raced through her mind. How many more of them are there? Is Earth safe? Would she endanger Steven and the Crystal Gems if she came back? What else does she not know about her mother?

Then the one question that has been the elephant in the room for most of her life popped into her head for the first time in years. Who was her father? Blaze had grown up without her father her entire life and had no idea who he was. Every time she asks her mom about it, she gets sad and never talks about it. Helix, Scourge, and Vulcan also never told her who her father was. When she took a DNA test back on Earth in an effort to find out who her father was, nothing came up on the paternal side of her family. No photos, no documents, nothing. After the conversation with Old Timer, she now has an idea who her father might be. But she wants to attempt another DNA test now that she is outside of Earth hoping to find proof. She heard about the Jedi Order's no attachment rule, so if she wants to do this, she has to do this somewhere where the DNA test results won't leak out. The Jedi Order already has enough on its plate as it is, and she does not want to add to it.

"(There she is,)" said Chewbacca as he and Old Timer went to Blaze

"There you are kid, we wondered where you were."

"Hey guys." Blaze greeted

"Looks like you have a lot on your mind, don't you?"

Blaze simply nodded in response.

"You know, once we fix the Bayonet we can take you back to Earth," said Old Timer

"No."

"What?"

"Not yet. After hearing the story about my mom, a million questions flooded my mind including the one that has been unanswered my whole life. It was about who my father was. I want to find answers. Also, if the Hard Stone Collective has more members and is out and about, I'm worried that my loved ones back on Earth might be in danger. We need to find the Gems involved in the Hard Stone Collective and stop them. No matter what happens, no matter how long it takes," said Blaze

Author's Note: While doing some research for this chapter I found two versions of the dweezel on Wookieepedia, in the Legends version it appears as a pastry common in Mos Espa on Tatooine. In the canon version it appears as a fruit also found at Mos Espa. For this I used the Legends version of the article.

Second Author's Note: For a while now ever since I watched Steven Universe and learned about Rose's pregnancy a wild idea came to me. If a Gem can shapeshift the right parts and get pregnant, maybe they can shapeshift the right parts and impregnate someone.

Third Author's Note: Frack/Fracking = Fuck/Fucking

Starsdamnit = Goddamnit (The Gems say,"Oh my Stars" in place of "Oh my God" so this obviously came up.)

Fourth Author's Note: I got the idea of Steven's blood immediately healing someone's wounds from the episode "Growing Pains" and the part where tendrils come out and reattach a severed body part, I got the idea from Swampfire from Ben 10. The part where Force-users and Gems enhance each other, that I got from where the Green Lantern Corps and Blue Lantern Corps enhance each other.
