Pearl had warped to the first place she met Lapis; the temple was in ruins after the war and it was over grown with vines. 'I miss you so much Lapis, I wish I fused with Jasper instead of you.' Pearl thought to herself as she looked at all the holograms of the two placed on the walls. They showed the two gems; smiling, laughing, and all around being happy with each other's company.

Garnet had followed Pearl and she too saw the holograms, "Pearl, this is where you came?" Garnet asked as she gently grabbed Pearl's shoulder.

Pearl nodded softly as she hugged the taller gem in a tight embrace not wanting to let go.

"We're here for you Pearl, I promise we'll get Lapis back," Garnet said as she hugged back.


Steven was watching the ocean when he saw a stripped hand shoot out from the water. 'Lapis was still here, the whole time?' Steven thought as he rushed into the house to grab Amethyst.


The other gems came out to see Malachite trying to break free from her chains. The fusion was a light mint green with dark turquoise strips all over her body.

"Lapis is getting weaker." Garnet said as she summoned her gauntlets.

Pearl quietly summoned her spear and she looked tired; her hair was disheveled and her eyes were red and puffy from crying, all around Pearl looked miserable.


/AN: I am going to take a break for a few days, writer's block is starting to creep up on me. And I kinda don't want to write an action seen. So I see you all in the next chapter. Bye-Bye!

P.S: who else saw the trailer for "In Space With Markiplier" that looks sooo cool! I can't wait to watch it. Maybe that will give me some ideas.
