One morning, Steven came out of the front door of his house and stretched out.
Steven: Ah, another great day at Beach city. Time to go to the Big Donut for breakfast. Hopefully, nothing will...
Then he looked up and saw something in the sky. It looked like a space station but not like any he has seen. Steven was getting worried.
Steven: (fearful) Why must I jinx these days?
Then, Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet ran out to Steven and looked up to the sky.
Pearl: What is that thing?
Garnet: It's not human or gem build.
Amethyst: So...what do we do?
Then they see Peridot running out of the house to them panicky.
Peridot: I'm here! You guys properly noticed the station in the sky.
Amethyst: Pretty hard not to.
Garnet: You know anything about it?
Peridot: Only that I recognize the technology. It's Zrit.
Steven: Zrit?
Peridot: An organic race who was at war with Homeworld. Not sure if they still are. I didn't have any interest in it. But I can tell they built that station and it's way too close to the planet. It could crash down anytime.
Pearl: So how can we stop it?
Peridot: Possibly by getting up there and steering it off. But we don't have any way of...
Then it looked like something came down from the station and crashed down into the sand of the beach. They then ran down to it.
Peridot: Oh! How lucky! It's an escape pod. I think we can drive this up.
Just then, the door came open and out came a monster similar to the gem mutants from the kindergarten.
Garnet: Head's up!
The crystal gems then fought the monster and were able to Poof it. Garnet caught its gem which looked like it was misshaped or warped.
Amethyst: Whoa! That looks funky.
Garnet bubbled it and sent it to the temple. Then Peridot remembers something and started laughing.
Steven: Um...Peridot?
Peridot: Hahaha...Oh sorry! We should get up to that station now. I'll explain on the way.
They soon got on the escape pod and Peridot got to the controls.
Peridot: Even though I had no interest in the war, I did look into Zrit technology and learned how to work it. I think I can...
Then when she hit a button, the door closed and the ship flew off towards the station. Everyone nearly lost their balance when it took off.
Peridot: That did it!
Pearl: Yesh! I little warning next time!
Steven: Well we got time. What was that gem and why were you laughing?
Peridot: Oh yeah! I remembered hearing rumors about Zrit trying to find a way to create their own gems.
Steven: They could do that?
Peridot: They thought they could but that's just...silly! No way could they have succeeded. That was most likely one of their failed attempts.
Garnet: Then there might be more of them in there. Be ready.
Soon the ship landed in what looked like a docking bay. The group got out of the pod and looked around. The place was wrecked and covered with debris and skeletons of a different race.
Steven: (Horrified) Whoa! So much death!
Peridot: Those were definitely Zrit. Something must have gone wrong.
Then they hear roaring from the corridors out.
Garnet: And it's coming towards us.
Out came a large group of gem monsters of several shapes and sizes. The crystal gems went on fighting and poofing every monster attacking them. They kept moving forward having Peridot try to figure out where the station's bridge was. Soon on the ground, Peridot found one body holding a tablet-like device.
Peridot: This corpse's jacket suggests it was the lead researcher.
She then took the tablet device and looked though.
Peridot: Hmmm...Let's see if this tells us anything.
She reads the data on it for a while.
Peridot: Alright, it says this was a research station and they were working on creating their own gems. (chuckled) Sorry! They had several failures that they immediately contained. But...it says...they succeeded? Impossible!
Amethyst: Shows what you know.
Peridot: Shut up! It says their first success was a Jet.
Steven: That's a new one. What do they do?
Garnet: Jet gems are hunters of other gems that disobeys their orders or try to run.
Pearl: We have dealt with Jets before but not for a long time since Homeworld considered us Crystal gems wiped out.
Peridot: But then one day, the station's power went out somehow. It was long enough for the failures to escape captivity. That's...all it says. Clearly, these failures overtook the station and killed everyone.
Garnet: And now this station will crash on earth and kill more. We need to stop it.
The group kept running down the halls and fighting any gem monster they run into a room with a huge machine.
Steven: Whoa! What is this thing?
Peridot: I...have no idea. It looks very complex.
Steven then saw something on the floor and picked it up. It was a black gemstone with a huge crack.
Steven: This gem doesn't seem as messed up like the others. Was this a successful one?
In his hand, it started vibrating.
Steven: Whoa! I think it's trying to reform! It must be the crack that's keeping it from reforming. I think I can heal it as I did with Lapis!
Pearl: Steven, we don't know the gem.
Then the room starts shaking. Then a swarm of small gem monsters came at them.
Amethyst: (groan) Is there ever an end to these things?!
The group was making quick work on the swarm. But then the monsters held hands and fused into one giant monster.
Garnet: Whoa! That's new!
Peridot: Could they have been experimenting on fusion too?
They tried to fight the monster but it was a lot quicker and tougher then they thought.
Garnet: Not good! We don't even have room in here to fuse ourselves.
Pearl: Not that it would help. We don't know how to fight this thing!
Steven then looked at the black stone.
Steven: Maybe this one does.
Pearl: Steven!
Steven: Well, I don't see any other option!
Before the others could say anymore, Steven then licked the black gem. His healing saliva then caused the crack to disappear and the stone was solid again.
Then the stone floated in the air and the gem took its form. To the team's surprise, the gem's form was like a male teenager with grey skin and black short hair. He wore sunglasses and a long black coat.
Before anyone could say anything, the male gem then reached to his gemstone on the back of his neck and pulled out a small staff. Then it extended and popped out a blade forming a scythe. He then ran with fast speed at the fusion monster and slashed his scythe three times in three precise spots causing the monster to un-fuse back into the small monsters. The other gems then took the chance to poof the monsters and bubble them. The male gem bubbled some as well.
Steven: Wow! This guy knows how to...
Just then, the male gem held his scythe to Steven. The others kept their distance wanting to protect Steven but were not sure what this new gem will do. But then the blunt part of the scythe poked Steven's neck.
Jet: Organic.
Jet then puts his scythe down from Steven.
Steven: Oh! Your...not gonna hurt us?
Jet: I don't know clearly the situation so no.
But then he sees Peridot and tried to attack her. But Garnet stopped his scythe with her gauntlets.
Peridot: What was that for?!
She then looks down at her chest with the insignia of Yellow Diamond on it and remembered.
Peridot: Oh right...You would hate a gem of Yellow Diamond. Well, I'm no longer with her! I'm actually a traitor!
Jet: For what?
Peridot: Disobeying her and...calling her a clod to her face.
Jet was surprised and then started laughing lowering his scythe.
Jet: Seriously?! Oh man! That is awesome!
Peridot: (confused) It is?
Jet: I can tell from how you spoke that you were telling the truth. Anyone who calls Yellow that to her face is OK with me.
Then the room shakes.
Steven: Oh almost forgot! This thing is gonna crash on Earth!
Jet: What?! Wait, what's Earth?
Peridot: I think the Zrit called it "Planet Sol 3" or something.
Jet: The planet of the Crystal rebellion? More reason not to crash into it!
Jet then went with lightning speed down the hall with the others following. He soon got into the bridge of the ship working on the Pilot's chair while the others entered.
Jet: No good! We can't stop it from crashing now. The best we can do is steer it to the nearby ocean so it doesn't destroy any of the lands.
Pearl: Well if that's it then we should get back to that escape pod.
Jet: No time! But there is another way off. Please tell me Sol 3 has working warp pads.
Amethyst: Several!
Jet: Then we need to get to the vault quickly. I need to get something valuable out of there anyway.
Jet runs off again.
Steven: (groan) Why must he run so fast?!
They catch up to him in a room with many Gem artifacts.
Peridot: Whoa! Very old but valuable stuff in here.
Then see Jet working to open a more secured door.
Jet: There should be a warp pad in the back. Lay it down and it will connect with Sol 3's warp pad matrix and get us out of here.
They then look in the back of the vault as Jet gets the secured door opened and ran inside to find something. The others soon got out the warp pad and placed it on the floor. Jet then came out with a bubble of five odd-looking Gems.
Steven: What are those?
Then they hear more monsters coming from the hall towards them.
Jet: No time! We need to leave!
They get on the warp pad and warp out of there. They then ended up on the galaxy warp. They then see the station going down and crashing into the ocean.
Garnet: That was close.
Jet: We need to go and salvage what we can from the crash site. While we're at it, I have some questions. Who are you gems? Also, why does an organic have a gem in his belly?
Steven: (Blushes, laughs nervously) Long story.
