Hello, everyone, I'm n00bsl3yR. Welcome back to the story. Hope y'all are enjoying the story, especially, how it's going now. Last chapter, Garnet, Amythest, and Pearl defeated Gooper Blooper and rescued Mario, Luigi, and Lapis. On the enemy side of things, Moonstone was looking around the Beta Kindergarten and accidentally stumbled upon Chain Chomp. Anyways, let's begin.

Garnet placed all 3 bodies in the middle of the living room.

"Steven, Connie, explain, please" Garnet said, adjusting her glasses.

"Okay," Steven began, "Well, it all started when those to guys, Mario and Luigi, appeared on the beach..." Steven said.

Steven and Connie explained what has happened ever since they've been poofed. The events with Moonstone, Bowser kidnapping Peach, Lapis kidnapping Peridot, and the incident at the watermelon Steven village.

The crystal gems were taking it all in

"Sooo, those 2 guys are from another dimension?" Amythesy said, pointing to Mario and Luigi.

"Yeah, and they're the ones who rescued you from being force fued with one if their enemies." Connie explained.

"Wow." Pearl started. "How noble."

"On the other hand, how come Lapis kidnapped Peridot?" Garnet asked.

"Well, we have no idea..." Steven began.

"Hmmmm, I guess we have to wait for them to wake and go from there." Pearl said.

"Yup..." Amythest said, groaning.

"There you are! Took you long enough!" Bowser huffed. Moonstone walked into the throne room. "And what is that?" Bowser said, pointing to the chain she was holding. A little chain chomp hopped from behind Moonstone.

"I found this buried in the sand." She explained. Bowser's eyes widened and gasped.

"Chain Chomp!" Bowser yelled.

"Bark Bark!" She barked happily. Chain Chomp hopped happily onto Bowser's lap. Moonstone watched the scene.

"You know what that is?" She asked.

"Duh! She was my guard dog for my old Castle in my dimension." Bowser explained, petting Chain Chomp.

"Now we have a castle guard, at least." Moonstone said.

"Exactly! Anyways, I think it's time to explain our plan to the rest of the Koopas downstairs." Bowser said.

"You were reading my mind." Moonstone replied. Bowser pulled out a walkie talkie.

"Kamek!"

"Yes, Lord Bowser?"

"Bring everyone up into the throne room!"

"Yes, sir."

Bowser put his walkie talkie away. Bowser and Moonstone laughed evilly.

Peach and Lapis were in their cage in the dungeon, dangling from the ceiling.

"*sigh* I hope we get rescued soon." Peach sighed.

"I know, I can't believe Lapis would turn on us like that." Peridot said sadly.

"Don't worry, Peridot. Mario, Luigi, and Steven will put a stop to Bowser and Moonstone. And will help your friend Lapis." Peach said, putting a reassuring arm around Peridot.

"Well, Lapis isn't really a friend... to me anyways." Peridot said, turning a dark green.

"Oooh, I get it now." Peach smiled.

Ludwig, who was in charge of watching the two sighed in annoyance.

"Do you guys ever shut it? It makes my job a lot harder, hearing about your weird relationships." Ludwig groaned.

"Well, sooner or later, Mario will stop all of you!" Peach yelled.

"Geez, you're like a broken record, Princess. Lord Bowser and Moonstone have a plan to conquer all of this dumb planet." Ludwig smirked. Kamek's voice came over the intercom.

"All Koopalings, and Junior, report to the throne room."

"Oh! Well, I'd love to stay and chat but, business stuff. Buh-By!" Ludwig ran up the stairs of the dungeon to the throne room.

Woah, sorry for the short chapter guys, I decided not to add anything TOO story telling wise. Well, we got to see Peach and Peridot interact while being locked up. As a plus, i decided to add Ludwig to the mix just because he's my second favorite Koopaling. Anyways, I'm n00bsl3yR, signing off
