Meanwhile, in a forest, two figures are dancing. One of them is a white gem named Albite, whose gemstone is where her navel would be. Another one is a yellow figure named Orthoclase, who was also a gem. HER gemstone is on her chest. The two gems are performing a fusion dance. Albite has white hair, dons an outfit similar to a vest, covering a one-piece outfit that stretches down to her feet, which looks like Peridot's feet. Wrapped around the vest on Albite's waist and the belly is some kind of belt that includes her gemstone on it. Orthoclase has white hair as well and dons an outfit different from Albite's. Her top stretches from the top of her neck to where her chest meets her belly. It has a diamond cutout around her gemstone. Her bottom is a yellow skirt over her shorts and covers so much of her left side of the shorts that it leaves her right side exposed. Her feet don sock-like shoes that expose her toes. The two gems then complete their dance and become one fusion. This fusion is named Moonstone and has a second set of eyes on the back of her head. Her outfit is Albite's vest, with nothing underneath, making room for Orthoclase's gemstone. The belt now has yellow as a top half, and blue as the bottom half. She dons leggings that expose her toes like Orthoclase, and the color tips on Albite's toes are now on Moonstone's heels. Around where her forelegs meet her feet are golden rings. Her hair is white. This new fusion, which has fused many times before, walks out of the woods to somewhere else, to perform one of her hobbies.


Morning arrives, and Steven wakes up. So do the rest of the Crystal Gems. Steven and Amethyst, as well as Connie, get on the warp pad, but end up in the wrong location as a result of Pearl and Garnet trying to get back to the temple. They are transported to an underground labyrinth of ruins.

"Guys," Steven says, "have any of us been here before?"

"I don't think so," Amethyst replies, "apparently, these ruins are an underground labyrinth dating back around 6,000 years ago."

"This is so amazing," Connie says, "reminds me of the old ruins on the Mediterranean areas of Europe."

However, when they aren't expecting, a red corrupted gem ambushes them. Connie and Amethyst run into a hiding spot, leaving Steven by himself. He goes inside the labyrinth, trying to escape the monster until he gets cornered by it, and there's nowhere else to run. He identifies it as an Andesine since he studied all names for gems on Earth months before he met Manson. He uses his hands to block himself until an explosion occurs in front of him. He uncovers his hands and sees an Andesine gem drop on the floor. He looks up to see a new being that he has not met before. A new fusion, which in turn, looks down at him.

"Who are you?" the fusion asks out of curiosity.

"Steven!" they hear a voice that Steven is familiar with say.

Connie and Amethyst rush to his location, bringing Pearl in tow with them. Peridot and Lapis are ALSO there. They find him picking up the Andesine gemstone and bubbling it. He then taps the top, sending it away. The gang see the new being and notice two gemstones on its chest and navel. They hesitate to ask who it is.

"W-who are you," Pearl asks anxiously.

"My name is Moonstone," the fusion says, "a fusion between an Albite and an Orthoclase, who are staying fused as part of their love for each other."

"Sounds a lot like Garnet," Amethyst replies.

"My name is Steven," Steven says, "Steven Universe, the half-human son of Rose Quartz, who gave up her physical form to give birth to me."

Moonstone's eyes widen, as she has discovered the Steven she heard about once before. She learns about Pearl and Amethyst's connections to Rose and remembers that she found a VHS tape, that was for Steven, from Rose, regarding the truth behind why they can't co-exist, and what part of Rose would still exist with Steven.

"Moonstone," Lapis gets her attention, "would you like to come with us?"

"Sure," Moonstone says.

They get on the warp pad after exiting the labyrinth and are beamed to a room that Steven, Connie, Amethyst, Peridot, and Lapis are familiar with. They walk out of it to find someone that they knew as Manson. They walk into the main office until they find who they are looking for.

"Who are you?" Pearl and Moonstone ask the man in unison, getting his attention.

He notices Steven and his friends and says, "Steven, you and your friends have brought two people I also knew about here. I'll let you off the hook on this. They can help us with you if it means protecting the Earth. Let's save Garnet for last. She's going to be in for a surprise."

The man, who is Henry Manson, tells Pearl and Moonstone everything about himself, and his plans for the other five, in regards to training. He also tells them that now that they're here, they can train with them. He then takes them to the Floating Arena, which he explains what it is, reminding Pearl that it's a newly built version of the Sky Arena. A few minutes later, Manson says, "Let the training, BEGIN!"
