Outside his shack, Jet was working on fixing the communication device to contact the Zrit homeworld. But he was having difficulty since he was not made for working on it.

Nearby, Four of the Mirror Stones (excluding M5) were listening to a collection of rock music they borrowed from Greg Universe. Greg liked how they got an interest in rock and wanted to encourage it. They also discussed it.

M1: So they say this Rock and Roll music has several variants. I really like this one here.

M3: I agree, dude! Mr. Universe showed me videos of these bands of humans playing these songs. Including one he manages called Sadie Killer and the Suspects. It looks fun! We should try that!

M4: Umm...You sure we can? I mean it does seem fun but we can't learn to play it like we can learn gem abilities.

M3: We might as well try.

M2: What about the Zrit war? Our purpose in existence?

M1: Steven and The crystal gems say that's up to us. One of the things they fought for was to be free to do what they choose and not just what they were made for.

M4: Would Jet be OK with that?

Jet heard them and turned from the comms device.

Jet: Though mission may be important that doesn't mean you can't do other things on the side. I mean it makes you guys happy then I won't stop you.

The Mirror stones were happy to hear him say that.

M3: I call lead guitar!

M1: Then I'll do Rhythm guitar and vocals. I mean I got a good voice. M4 can do keyboard I think.

M4: The one with the white stick things? Ok...What about you M2?

M2: What's the one where you hit things?

M3: Drums?

M2: That one! I'll do that one!

M3: So then M5 is on bass.

M1: He would like the soothing sound of it.

M2: Yeah but how do we keep him awake the whole time?

Then M5 came back by warp pad and they all heard his yawn.

M5: There! I went to Stevens and spoke to them! Happy?! Can I sleep now?

Jet: Hang on! Anything they wanted to tell us?

M5 groaned and then got out an envelope to Jet. Jet then opened it and read it.

Jet: So they invited us to a...wedding? What is that?

M5: Peridot told me it's the earth version of a Zrit bonding ceremony.

The other Mirror stones gasped.

M4: Someone is getting bonded? Yey!

M5: Their word is "married" but it's no different. The only real difference instead of Zrit grand tart they have something they call a cake which is said to be just as nice.

M1: Well, I'm happy for whoever it is.

Jet: It says it's Ruby and Sapphire. The ones that make up Garnet?

M5: (groan) So many questions! Yeah...they had a fight but made up and now they want to make it more official with this marriage thing.

M4: They fought?! What for?

M5: Something about Rose Quarts not being what she said she was. I don't know.

Just then they hear a boom in the sky.

M1: What was that?!

They look up and see something into the atmosphere.

M5: OH yeah! Sapphire also warned that she saw something coming to crash into the desert that looked Zrit build and the one Zrit gem could get shattered if not pulled out before crashing.

M1: What?! You should have said that first!

Jet: I got this!

Jet then took the warp pad to the desert area and saw the ship coming down. He then jumped up high and then twirled his scythe ahead of him like a propeller to quickly get to it fast. He then got to the windshield and sees someone inside who was unconscious. Jet then punched the windshield hard until he broke it and pulled the passenger out. He jumped out and back to the sandy ground with the passenger over his shoulder just before the ship crashed a few feet away. Jet then laid down the passenger to check on him. The passenger looked like a Zrit version of a Peridot. The Peridot then woke up.

Z-Peridot: Uhh! What...?

Jet: Easy. Your alright now.

The Zrit Peridot got up and looked at Jet.

Z-Peridot: Uhh...Peridot ID Code 7K55P. What Jet are you?

Jet: Mine is 5D13A.

The Zrit Peridot used a device on his wrist to load up a floating holographic screen to check his data.

Z-Peridot: This can't be right. That ID says you are...the original prototype Jet that disappeared with Research station Goz'ol. But that's impossible.

Jet: Did you think I was shattered?

Z-Peridot: Yeah along with the other experiments.

Jet: Well I was just damaged and unable to form until recently. The station crashed here on Sol 3 which is now known as Earth.

Z-Peridot: What about the prototype Mirror Stones?

Jet: They are safe. Come with me and I'll show you.

Jet helps the Peridot walk to the warp pad.

Jet: So tell me, how long has it been since my station went missing?

Z-Peridot: Let's just say a lot of Ultra cycles. When they sent a search team, it was already past several enemy lines so they considered it lost forever. That is until I picked up the recovery beacon just recently.

Jet: Well, I guess it would get that out when it crashed. Was it just you?

Z-Peridot: I was an engineer on a recovery ship but it ran into some meteors or something. I didn't pay attention but when I heard the alarm I went for that escape pod I was in.

Jet: How have our Zrit gems been doing?

Z-Peridot: First off, we call ourselves "Z-Gems" now. It saves time and easier for other races to remember. Also, it's been hard with...what happened to our creators.

Jet: What do you mean?

They then stopped walking.

Z-Peridot: This...is going to hit you hard. The Zrit...are extinct.

Jet was shocked and removed his shades.

Jet: You can't be serious!

Z-Peridot: Why would I joke about something like that?

Jet: What happened?

Z-Peridot: The war soon forced us to keep the Zrit on their homeworld. But Somehow Yellow diamond's forces got though our lines and hit the planet hard. Before they got to them however the Zrit did something unexpected. They used some kind of device they kept even from us to use as a last resort. It wiped out all organics on the planet including themselves.

Jet: You telling me they killed themselves before Yellow Diamond could?

Z-Peridot: Not exactly. It seems the device used their lifeforce to create a new gem. The perfect gem to help us keep other organics from suffering the same fate. It created...Black Diamond.

Jet: Whoa! A diamond? As in...?

Z-Peridot: Yes! Black Diamond was made a perfect leader like the other diamonds. Because of his leadership, we have protected several organic habited planets. In the honor of our creators, we fight on with him.

Jet: This is a lot to take in.

Z-Peridot: I know it is. Now, do you have a means of communication off-planet? I need to check back with Black Diamond right away.

Jet: Of course. If you know a secure frequency then it should work. But do me a favor. Don't tell the Mirror stones about the Zrit. They are just freshly formed.

Z-Peridot: I understand. But they will find out eventually.

Jet: Let me handle that.

They soon got to the warp pad and arrived at Jet's shack. The Mirror Stones greeted Z-Peridot. They explained the situation with the Z-Gems excluding the fate of the Zrit. Jet did not feel good with hiding something from the mirror stones.

Days later, Jet came to Z-Peridot who was working on the communication device.

Jet: How's it going?

Z-Peridot: Slow! This is such old Zrit tech. SHould take me a few cycles at the least.

Jet: What about the Gem making machine?

Z-Peridot: Well, I got that to work. Good thing auto-repair did what it could. We could use some defenders in case we get the worst attention. The problem is it already started making a gem the second I got it working and you know we can't stop it once it starts.

Jet: WHat gem is it making?

Z-Peridot: A Pearl of all things. I mean I like having an extra pair of hands but they can't guard this place as well as quarts can.

Then four of the Mirror Stones came up. They were dressed in tuxedos.

M1: We're ready! You sure you won't come to the wedding, Peridot?

Z-Peridot: Not when there is work to be done. Also, I don't care about these ceremonies.

Jet: Hang on! Where's M5?

M4: I think he's still in the shack.

M2 then went to the door and knocked it hard.

M2: C'mon M5! You are not sleeping through this!

The other Mirror stones came up.

M1: Hang on! He should be groaning by now.

M3: Dude, I don't even hear snoring.

Jet then went up noticing something is a miss. He then opened the door slowly. He went up to the pile of blankets on the bed and removed them to see M5 was not there. He then noticed the window was open.

Jet: Not good.

M1: What? Did he run off or something?

M2: As if he would bother to move more then a few inches.

Jet then noticed something with his hunter instincts. There were remains of smoke made from gem bodies when poofed. Also, the edges near the window latch looked stretched up.

Jet: Someone poofed him and took him.
