Hello everyone, welcome back. Well, last chapter, the bros, Steven, and Connie fought Petey Piranha to rescue the crystal gems, whom he ate beforehand. Anyways, let's begin.

Mario, Luigi, Steven, and Connie warped back into the temple. Mario and Luigi walked over to Peach on the couch to assure they were okay. Steven and Connie went and grabbed a couch cushion to set the gems on.

"Oh my, did you save your friends, Steven?" Peach asked.

"Yeah! We fought a giant plant!" Steven said.

"Oh, you mean Petey?" Peach asked. Steven nodded. "That's not good. Petey lives at the edge of Dimble Woods, the toad said Bowser was in Dimble woods as well, he must've landed in this world somewhere too." Mario and Luigi shared worried glances.

"Well, when the gems reform, they can help to find Bowser!" Steven said.

"How long does it normally take them to reform?" Peach asked. Steven thought.

"Normally, a few hours." Steven answered.

"Hmm, that'll take too long. Well, is there anywhere else portals have been appearing?" Luigi asked.

"The news said they've been appearing all over the place. Well, when the gems left to the old gem battlefield, the news said there was another over the ice mountain where we got the shooting star" Steven said.

"Well, we could check it out for you. You can stay with your friends, and Me, Luigi, Connie, and Peach will go and see if everything is ok." Mario said. Steven thought for a moment.

"Well, I guess." He looked over at Connie. "Is that okay with you?"

"Of course it is!" Connie said, smiling. "I just need to grab my blade!"

"Peach, do you want to come? Or would you rather stay here?" Luigi asked.

"I don't want to just sit here and do nothing, I want to help too." Peach said. Connie ran on Stevens bed and grabbed her pink blade and ran back down.

"Okay, are you guys ready to go?" Connie asked, blade strapped to her back.

"Uh huh, let's-a-go!" Mario said.

"By, guys! Be careful!" Steven waved goodbye as Mario, Luigi, Connie, and Peach warped away. The four disappeared in a white lite, leaving Steven alone again. He placed the gems on a pillow and set them on the floor, he sat in front of them. Steven just sighed and looked at the gems.

"I'm bored again..." The boy said.

"BWAAAA?" Bowser yelled as he fell to the ground. Junior was still clutching his shell, screaming as well. Bowser landed with a loud thud.

"Ugh, my belly." He groaned. He slowly got up, Junior fell off his shell and landed behind him. Bowser shook his head and looked around. "Where am I?"

Bowser saw 7 figures in the distance. "HEY, YOU OVER THERE!" Bowser walked over to the 7 figures. They turned out to be the Koopalings.

"O-Oh, master Bowser!" Ludwig said.

"Man, that portal thing really backfired, didn't it?" Wendy smirked. Bowser growled. "

"Shut up!" Bowser yelled. "Anyways, where the heck are we?"

"No idea, sir." Lemmy said. "But, we sent Kamek out to find some clues." That got Bowser's attention.

"Wait, Kamek? He's here? I thought he got away!" Bowser said, surprised. All of a sudden, a blue cloaked wizard with glasses on a broom appeared next to Bowser.

"Well, Koopalings, I got some-" Kamek saw Bowser. "LORD BOWSER!" He yelled.

"Huh, for once, I'm actually glad to see you!" Bowser grinned. Junior ran over to everyone else. "Well? Did you find anything out about this joint?"

"Yes, actually! It'll be a great place for a new castle! Look around!" Kamek yelled. This was the first time Bowser actually looked around, the place was like an orange desert, but with weird holes in the ground and walls with metal bars on the entrances.

"Huh, you're ri-" Bowser was cut off by a voice. "HEY! YOU!" All the koopas looked over. A lady with pale, white skin was approaching them. She was 6'1 and has a weird white bump on her chest. Her attire was a gray dress.

"Who are you?!" Roy asked. The lady's eyes fell onto all of the koopas.

"My name is Moonstone. I am here from my homeworld, to find a Peridot and a Jasper who've seemed to fail a mission." Moonstone explained.

"Well, I'm Bowser, the Koopa King! These are the Koopalings," all of them said hello," this is my son, Bowser Junior," junior said hi," We're here because of a backfired plan to destroy two brothers."

Moonstone listened with an emotionless expression.

"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Bowser, Koopalings, and Junior." Moonstone said with a bow. "I must bid you adieux, I must find the warp." Moonstone was starting off, until Bowser stopped her.

"Hold up a sec, lady!" Bowser said. Moonstone stopped. "What's up with that bump on your chest?" Moonstone looked down at her gem.

"Well, it's my gem, it's a moonstone, hence my name. Gems like me, and many others are from another Galaxy, call 'Homeworld.' There, we all live under the iron fist of the diamonds, the most powerful gems to ever exist." Moonstone explained. "I've come here to find other gems from Homeworld that went rouge. The Peridot that I spoke of insulted Yellow Diamond. The Jasper went missing."

"Well, Moonstone, why did the peridot insult yellow diamond?" Bowser asked.

"Yellow Diamond wants to destroy this planet, Earth, to colonize it and make more gem warriors. Ever since a Quartz soldier went rouge and rebelled against the diamonds will to destroy Earth, the diamonds loathed this planet, trying everything in their power to destroy it. Yellow Diamond even put a giant cluster of shattered gems in the earths core to destroy it from the inside out. The Quartz soldier was Rose Quartz, and it turns out the gems she rebelled with found a way to destroy the cluster. Yellow Diamond wants them shattered, which will permanently kill of a gem forever." Moonstone explained. The koopalings and Junior all sat down and was listening.

"Those gems should've been shattered from the beginning!" Bowser yelled.

"The diamonds have sent more Homeworld gems to destroy the remaining rebels, but have all failed." Moonstone said. "Hmm, now tell me about those brothers that you failed to destroy."

"Hmph, well, it all started when we were babies..." Bowser began. He then went through the events of all of his past failures. Moonstone was listening, very intrigued.

"It seems, we have the same goal, in a way. I'm hunting down a traitor Peridot, and you're hunting down your mortal enemies..." Moonstone paused.

"What are you hinting at here?" Bowser said.

"We should team up!" Moonstone said. Bowser thought for a moment.

"Y'know what, Moonstone, you've got the right idea..."
