Chapter 2 Reasons
At the beach house at night 3:56 AM inside the temple in Garnet's room Amethyst and Pearls gems glowed forming their bodies franticly looking around for Connie until their eyes fell on their leader Garnet grabbed shoulder to calm them down.
'It's okay" Garnet said as she tried to calm them down telling them she got Connie in her room finally asleep.
"Who was that guy "Pearl said as she placed her hand on her gem as she was remembering what happened and how it felt when it was ripped out from her body Amethyst seemed to do the same reaching for her chest.
"I-I don't know "Garnet said but he's far more powerful than us in every way he was somehow able to block my future vision and knew our attack moves step by step not only that but all he used to defeat us was he's physical strength he never used his gem powers and from when I fought him he was definitely human if anything I'm willing to bet that he's a hybrid like Connie and is also male considering the way he moved and that he was able to use the warp pad at those words of revelation Amethyst and Pearl were shocked.
"T- that's I-impossible! And you know the reasons why first one being that were the only gems left on earth that aren't corrupted and secondly Connie is the only half-human hybrid that could exist so there's no way that he's half human he has to have been sent by home world" said Pearl stuttering on her words.
"Yeah!" Amethyst said agreeing.
"Don't you think I know that but Pearl do you really think our gems would still be intact if that monster was from home world!?" Said Garnet tapping her foot slightly Ruby getting frustrated.
"Well while I was fight with him Sapphire analyzed him and noticed he never got serious even when I attacked him it didn't seem like he wanted to destroy us we're lucky that monster didn't crush our gems but he fought with over whelming power that's why I think he didn't want to crush us I think he was testing us, when he crushed my gauntlet I felt his energy it was like nothing I ever felt before he definitely wasn't normal" Garnet said annoyance with Pearl start to get the better of her.
"You're talking like you actually lasted more than three seconds with that monster that wasn't a fight that was a warm up for him a game he played with us!" Said Amethyst with a sneer.
"None of us lasted more than a few seconds with that thing and if that was a test then we definitely failed" Said Pearl screaming at they're leader.
"I think Garnets right he was testing us Amethyst said caching both the fusion and Pearl off guard they didn't think Amethyst would agree with Garnet.
"Think about it Pearl he had many chances to crush our gems he never summoned his weapon and after he beat us he didn't go after Connie he could have attacked her too but he just left her alone" said Amethyst reasoning.
"Bu-t bu.!" Pearl said trying to come up with something else to say but didn't have enough time because Garnet cut her off.
"Once I got Connie inside I told Connie to tell me what happened when I was in the water she told me that he took something from you Pearl a mirror with a blue gem on the back of it do you know why he bothered to take it out?" Garnet asked knowing what Pearls reaction would be.
Pearls gem started to glow as she put her hand inside the light franticly searching her gem for a mirror that should have been there.
"It's not here!" Pearl said in a frantic tone as she took her hand out of her gem, how could he do that it should be impossible to take anything out anything out of a gem off without their permission.
"Pearl calm down" Amethyst said in an attempt to calm her teammate down without much merit.
"Don't tell me to calm down you weren't the one that had their gem searched without their permission" Pearl screamed feeling violated about what happened.
Pearl what did the mirror do? Garnet said trying to be understanding of the situation.
"It's a gem powered mirror that can capture and display any moment its witness in gem history I found it on the galaxy warp but the last time I checked it's broken so it wasn't usable" she said anger on her face.
"What would he want with a broken mirror and how did he know you had it" said amethyst as she put her hands on her head trying to figure it out.
"It doesn't matter" the fusion said all that matters is that we're all okay but if he really wants to use the mirror that means that he'll have to use yellow diamonds healing spring I'll go to see if I can catch him you two stay here and make sure that Connie's okay got it.
"But Garnet you can't go alone remember you didn't stand a chance last time" said pearl worry in her voice.
Garnet just smirked and said "You both know I'm never alone" she then proceeded to walk out of the temple and then she walked to Connie's bed room where she gave Connie a kiss on her gem hoping that this wasn't the last time she'd see her again with shaky hands she proceeded to walk to walk to the warp pad where she disappeared in a beam of light.
Meanwhile in the kindergarten
Steven knew he had to have everything ready for when they came for him he could only intervene so much before the universe noticed the changes in power fluctuation and started to reject he's presence his, his very soul was a disturbance to the universal energy flow so he needed to be careful how much he used his gem energy here so that the universe didn't catch him he limited his powers and how much strength he used, that's why he needed to have everything ready in order to save them and he wanted to do it without being noticed by the universe to be careful of the attention he drew all that mattered was for everything to be ready that's why in the loneliness of the kindergarten where not even the sunshine could lighten the sad mood that was brought on by the thousands of horribly experiments he decided to have allies that he could trust so he brought out the mirror and closed his eyes and dreamt remaking the mental connection with the gem .
Inside the cage that had kept the gem trapped for more than five thousand years he saw all the memories she'd ever seen all useless to him what he needed was the gem lapis was in a corner facing away from him hands around her knees curled up in a ball her will to fight for herself for her freedom was all but gone so he decided to give her a reason to fight for someone else.
"He put a hand on her shoulder lapis" it's okay now you're not alone anymore I'm here and I won't let you go back to being alone " said Steven trying to comfort her to reassure her that he was here for her.
She didn't say anything her face looking like it didn't believe that he was real she didn't want to believe that she wasn't alone only to have her hopes crushed by the reality that she was alone like she had millions of times before Steven recognized that look on her face and sighed he knew that if he truly wanted to free her he couldn't just do it like last time he had to heal her soul.
So he sat down next to her and then hugged her as his gem glowed a calm and loving glow witch she reacted at first by trying to push him away fighting back against his warmth and love but as his gem glowed brighter she eventually stopped struggling and let her tears start to roll down her face Steven held her tighter as he let his gem glow heal her mind and soul.
After a few minutes her tears stopped and her mind started to feel at peace as she let her self-wrap her arms around him no longer fighting his comforting presence and warm glow and just let her self-feel safe and secure realizing that he was real and what he was saying was true she never wanted to let him go though she doubted that she could leave him when she felt complete at that moment she felt like nothing could harm her she felt what she hadn't felt for thousands years happiness.
"No one heard my cries or came to help"…
"Don't leave me Stay with me"…
"Love me, care for me….
"Forgive me, protect me"…
"My reason to hope and to live"...
"My light my love".
"Forever and ever" Steven answered whispering in her ear before looking straight into her eyes and giving her a gentle smile.
Once she calm down Steven let her go and held out his hand his gem no longer glowing "are you ready? He asked
She didn't need to ask what he meant because she already knew what he meant though even if she didn't she know she already couldn't let this person that gave her hope go that made her feel complete go and knew she would follow him anywhere for as long as her gem was still intact she smiled as she took hold of his hand with you always, she answered.
In the physical world the a Steven woke up as the mirror exploded freeing a no longer trapped lapis free from both her physical chains and mental chains seeing her body forming from light.
"W- Who are yo-u? and how do you know my name?" lapis asked as she tried to figure out why he freed her why he gave her hope and love though she didn't care why as long as she could be together with him that's all that mattered.
He smiled with one of his Steven smiles and answered my name is Steven Universe it's great to see you lapis said Steven holding out his hand.
Come on we have to heal you're gem Steven said ignoring her second question.
Lapis felt the crack on her gem and then took his hand as they walked to the warp pad even with her gem cracked she felt safe and complete with him she thought as they disappeared in a flash of light.
HOMEWORLD
Her view from her pink palace was magnificent to say the least she could see all of her glorious kingdom from her throne Pink diamond which beauty was only matched by her strength and intelligence felt the change in the energy of the universe but she didn't understand the disturbance it was like nothing she ever felt before it was both very familiar and very alien at the same time but it was so small and weak that she didn't pay any mind to it but decided to make sure it wasn't anything that would become a problem by giving the task to only a lowly Peridot telling her the assignment was to go to earth and check on the process with an old biological weapon called the cluster and to take a Jasper that had existed since the rebellion seeing her chance to get rid of the last of the evidence of her defeat in the war against earth and that cursed yellow diamond from existence as one of her body guard and one of the last abominations from the completed fusion experiments that called itself gold if necessary would be brought to the ship that the lowly Peridot made and be prepared the ship a green hand that would take two month to fly to earth so she sent small droids before them to check the situation on earth and to fix the galaxy warp.
As she viewed them from afar on her pink throne she wondered what had become of the earth and that "Pitiful!" yellow diamond though she was probably dead her gem destroyed by time.
As she reminisced of a time long ago when she was younger, when she considered yellow and herself comrades the memory of when yellow diamond gave her the nick name Rose.
