"YOU WON'T GET FAR, TRAITOR!" Lapis yelled. Peridot struggled out of Lapis's grip and fell back to the ground. She ran as fast as she could to Beach City to go and find Steven. Lapis squinted her eyes and watched Peridot as she ran away.
"Y'know what? I'll play this cat and mouse game, traitor." Lapis flew upward and disappeared in the sky.
Peridot was keeping up her pace as she continued to Beach City. She looked behind her and saw Lapis had disappeared.
"Oh geez, where'd she go? And why'd she attack Steven? What does that Moonstone want with me? Where was she going to take me?" A million questions were going through Peridot's head. She was afraid of what happened to Steven, even though he's a gem, he's also human, and they're pretty fragile.
"I have to hurry!" Peridot ran as fast as she could.

"Ugh..." Mario groaned, he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry, Mario shook his head and got a look of the place he was in.
"Where am I?" Mario looked around and saw that he was in a cave, but instead of rock walls the cave walls were covered with vines. Little spuds appeared randomly in the vines.
Mario tried to move, but he looked down and saw his body was trapped by the vines, holding down his arms and legs.
"This sucks, wait a sec," Mario remembered Luigi, "Luigi?!" Mario yelled.
In a panic, Mario frantically searched the cave to see Luigi.
"Up here, bro!" Luigi yelled. Mario looked up and saw Luigi hanging from the ceiling by his lower half by the vines.
"Ugh, how do we get out of here?" Mario said.
"No clue, bro. Maybe we could-" The ground started to shake. "He's coming back!"
"What do we do?" Mario asked.
Gemba appeared at the entrance to the cave.
"Ah, Mario brothers! Good to see you awake!" Gemba said, sarcastically. "Now the fun can REALLY begin."
Gemba smiled a sinister grin. Mario and Luigi both gulped.

"Ugh... where...did...Steven...land?" Peridot put her hands on her knees and caught her breath. She had managed to run to Beach City, now she had to find Steven.
"Peridot!" A voice yelled. The green gem looked up and saw Connie, with her pink blade strapped on her back, running towards her. "Peridot what's going on? I swear I just saw Steven flying in the air towards the boardwalk!"
"The boardwalk? Perfect, let's go get him!" Peridot said.
"What happened to him?" Connie asked.
"There's something wrong with Lapis, she attacked Steven and tried to bring me to Moonstone, the one who stole Garnet, Amythyst, and Pearl. I escaped and ran from her but when I looked back, she disappeared."
"That's terrible! C'mon, Steven's probably hurt!"
Peridot and Connie ran to the boardwalk. When they got there, they saw smoke coming from the Funland section of the boardwalk.
"That can't be good." Peridot groaned. Connie and Peridot ran to Funland. There were people running out of Funland, screaming.
"Looks like the smoke's coming from the roller coaster!" Connie said. Connie and Peridot went to the coaster and saw a crying Mr. Smiley, a broken control box, a broken railing, and an unconscious Steven.
"Mr. Smiley!" Connie yelled, gaining the man's attention. The two went over to the man.
"What happened?" Peridot asked.
"I just opened the restraints on the coaster and people got off. All of a sudden, Steven flies in out of nowhere and hits his head on the control box. The controll box started sparking and smoking and the coaster went off on its own at high speed and flew off the track and into the water. It scared all the people and they all ran away." Mr. Smiley explained. "Now my park is ruined!" Mr. Smiley started crying and ran away.
"Poor guy," Peridot said. She looked over and saw Steven. "Steven!"
Peridot and Connie ran to Steven's unconscious body. He had a big red mark on his forehead.
"Oh Steven, that looks painful." Connie said looking at the bump on his head.
"Grab his arms, I'll grab his legs, we'll take him to the temple." Peridot said.
"Right." Connie said. Before they could pick Steven up, a voice, all to familiar yelled.
"PERIDOT!" A blue blur tackled Peridot to the ground.
"*gasp, Lapis!" Connie yelled. Lapis was on top of Peridot.
"You won't get away this time!" Lapis yelled.
"Lapis, please stop!" Peridot pleaded. "I'm your friend!"
"Save the pointless bribes! You're coming with me!" Lapis stood up and had Peridot in a bear hug.
Connie unsheathed her blade.
"Lapis, don't make me hurt you!" Connie pointed her blade to Lapis. Lapis scoffed.
"Connie help!" Peridot pleaded. Lapis sprouted her water wings and flew away, with Peridot in her grasp.
"No!" Connie yelled. She frantically thought of a solution. She saw Steven. "I just need to bring him to the temple! He'll think of something!" Connie grabbed Steven's legs and began pulling him to the temple.

Mario and Luigi were in a cage made of wood, they were on the edge of the Island. The watermelon goombas pushed the cage there.
"Alright, minions!" Gemba yelled, gaining the attention of the watermelon goombas. "We push them down in the ocean when I get back, I'm gonna check and see if the new minions are done growing in the cave." All the watermelon goombas nodded. Gemba walked away.
"Hey Mario," Luigi whispered, "They do realize this cage is made out if wood right? We could easily escape."
"Apparently not. Want to bust outta here?" Mario said pulling out two fire flowers. Luigi smirked.
"Yes I do!" Luigi yelled. The bros each touched a flower and became Fire Mario and Fire Luigi. They burned down the cage.
The watermelon goombas saw the cage burnt and the mario bros free. They all ran at the bros.
"Well bro," Luigi began, "Let's do what we do best." Mario nodded.
The bros started shooting fireballs at the watermelon goombas. One of them dodged Luigi's fireballs and headbutted him in the stomach, knocking him down.
"Luigi!" Mario yelled. The watermelon goombas ignored Mario and all dog piled on top of Luigi. "Oh geez, what do I do?" Mario thought.
The pile started shaking, all of a sudden, Luigi jumped from the center of the pile. The watermelon goombas scattered, some rolled away and knocked into trees, and some even fell off the edge of the island. When he landed, he noticed he lost his fire power.
"You good, bro?" Mario asked.
"Yeah!" Luigi replied. "I just can't use my fire anymore."
"Don't worry about it, now let's finish off these minion wannabes." Mario said confidently.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Luigi smirked. The watermelon goombas all got up and ran at the bros again. Luigi pulled out his hammer and Mario readied his gloves to shoot more fire.

Lapis walked into Bowser's Castle, with Peridot still struggling in her grasp. Lapis looked around and saw the koopalings, Bowser Jr, and Kamek all in the entrance room. 8 doors surrounded the walls of the room, all different colors, and a staircase against the wall that lead to a giant green and white door. A staircase in the center of the room led downward to the dungeon.
"Ah!" Kamek floated over to Lapis. "Back so soon, Lazuli?"
"Yes, now where is Moonstone?" Lapis asked. Kamek motioned to the green and white door.
"King Bowser, and Moonstone are in there." Kamek said. Kamek knocked on the door.
"What is it?!" Bowser yelled, muffled by the door.
"King Bowser, Lapis is back and she has the Peridot!" Kamek said.
"Bring her in!" Moonstone yelled. Peridot whimpered.
"Please don't." Peridot pleaded. Kamek opened the door and revealed Bowser and Moonstone sitting in their thrones. Lapis walked in. Kamek shut the door behind her. Lapis threw Peridot in front of Bowser and Moonstone.
Peridot slowly looked up to see her getting death glares.
"Hmph," Bowser grunted, "You should just shatter her now!" Peridot's pupils shrunk.
"No, Yellow Diamond will have the pleasure." Moonstone grinned sinisterly. Peridot gulped.
"Yellow Diamond?" She asked shakily.
"Yes." Moonstone began. "Do you recall an incident where a certain gem insulted her creator? Lost her assigned Jasper, and failed to emerge the cluster?" Moonstone sarcastically tapped her chin. "Oh yeah, that's you!"
"Once we're done with this world. You're off to be shattered!" Bowser grinned.
"This can't be happening." Peridot thought. All of a sudden, an ice crystal went through her chest. She looked behind her to see Lapis stabbing her. Peridot poofed into her gem. Her gem clanked against the floor. Moonstone chuckled.
"Good job, Lazuli." Moonstone said.
"Anything for you." Lapis bowed. Bowser and Moonstone laughed evilly.

Mario and Luigi wiped sweat of their brows. Bits of watermelon goombas were everywhere.
"Okay, I think they're all gone." Luigi said.
"Yeah, so d-" Mario was cut off by a booming voice.
"WHAT?!" Mario and Luigi turned to see Goomba. "Y-YOU MURDERERS!"
"Oh geez, here we go again." Mario groaned.
