"I will find an extra large escape pod and come with you guys."
"That's... That's all you came up with!",Steven whispered loudly.
"Well, yeah... I mean, I'm not good at this! How many times have you escaped from homeworld? This is my first time!",she whispered at him.
"I'm sorry. I guess it could work. Its worth a try anyway",Steven apologized.
Topaz, who was carrying Steven and watching a giant floating cage follow her with an unconscious Lars inside, made it to the escape pods. She opened the port hole to one and started to climb inside.
"wait.", Steven said as Topaz was trying to push the cage in. "I-I can't go home."
"What!",Topaz asked incredulously.
"I came here to turn myself in. I need to pay for the mistakes my mother has made",he looked down.
"That's a bad idea. They. will. kill you! Why should you pay for your mother's mistakes? It's not like you owe her anything!... or do you?",Topaz said.
"I-I don't know...",Steven said solemly.
"Come with me. Your Crystal Gems probably miss you. I saw their expressions as we left. They looked heartbroken."
"Yeah, I think I should stay though. My mom did a lot of-"
"That doesn't matter! It doesnt matter!",she yelled.
"W-what is going on?",Lars said sluggishly.
"Lars! Your okay!",Steven put his arms through the cage to get closer to Lars.
"Of course I am! but... thanks.",He said grumpily.
"Of course, your my friend! I need to get you back home. Do you know how to open the cage? We can't fit it through the door.",Steven asked.
"well, your coming too, right?"
"I have to stay. I have to pay for my mother's mistakes."
"No, you idiot! You have to come home. Your weird family is probably torn apart because you left. Imagine how they feel. Think of them dude, Go home to them for their own sake. Who cares about your dead mom when the rest of your family needs you!",Lars had tears in his eyes now,"I can't go home by myself. I-Im scared man"
"Lars... You'll be alright. They will be alright without me. You'll help each other okay?"
"I'm not going. Not if you don't come with me.",Lars announced.
"Hey, I think the Lars is right. You need to go home."
Steven looked down and tears filled his eyes. Suddenly the white lit floor glared red and footsteps were heard running towards him.
"We need to go! Now!",Topaz yelled.
A shock of electricity was fired from down the hall and it hit Lars' cage and the cage fell to the floor and fell apart. It was a misfire. It nearly hit Topaz.
"Come on!",Steven yelled at Lars who was standing still in shock. Topaz grabbed Steven in one hand and Lars in the other and took off running.
"Where are you going! The pod was back there!",Lars exclaimed.
"It would take too long. The pods have a loading time that can take a while. We need to hide! And I know where to go",The fusion said.
