Spike Moutain-14 years and 5 Months ago
"are you sure this is safe Rose?…I mean what about the baby?" Greg asked as Rose carried him up the moutain
"well Stephanie will be alright, I just want to make sure of it, I mean gems and humans have never had a child together I need to make sure he and you are safe"
Greg blushed and felt embarrassed his pregnant wife was carrying him up the mountain, but as they got to the top Rose stood in front of the doorway "Sugnidaydnomaidkcalb I summon you!"
A cloaked figure appeared in front of the duo "Rose Quartz why have you summoned me….ahh I see you aren't alone ,hello human"
"uh hi I'm Greg and I…"
"I'm having a child and I want to know what the future holds" Rose said
The cloaked figure's grey eyes glowed "Be warned Rose Quartz you and the child will share the same gem and only one of you may exist, if you are to birth this….Steven it will be the end of you"
There was a moment of silence and he vanished, the entire climb down neither Rose or Greg said anything, even as they warped home neither said anything but the moment they stepped foot on the beach Greg couldn't stop himself
"What are you thinking?" he asked, Rose turned to him with a large smile on her face
"Steven is going to be alright"
The Barn-Now
As the bright light faded the pale greenish blue gem floated to the ground, the two silver rings rotated slowly around her, Jasper broke out of her momentary shock and had a large sneer "and what are you some sort of knock off Malachite?" she punched at her, but her fist was caught by the two silver rings
"No Jasper…you can call me Ludlamite!" the two rings knocked Jasper's fist back and the two silver rings turned razors sharp slashing at Jasper's armor, then Ludlamite quickly grabbed Connie and placed her on the roof she had a strange nervous smile
"Don't worry little human we…I won't let you get hurt" the two rings slammed into Ludlamite's back and turned into razor sharp wings "We're doing this for Steven!" she flew back toward Jasper who had already summoned Ruby's gauntlet and Amethyst's whip and charged at her
The Road
Pearl slowly opened her eyes, wherever she was it was dark "Amethyst?" she called out, there was no answer then she felt a stop and then a bright light, she groaned to sit up when she saw Greg standing there with a worried smile, she was hoping not to have to be the one to tell him this, that his son the only family he had left, one of the only people who truly made Greg feel as important as Rose had was gone, perhaps forever
"Pearl thank goodness your alright, do you know where Steven is?" he asked with the worries smile seeming to grow less happy and more in terror
"Greg I…I…" tears welled in Pearl's eyes
"no….Pearl please tell me he's no…he's not"
Without thinking Pearl grabbed Greg and held him close "I'm so sorry Greg he was ambushed we didn't know until"
Greg lightly pushed Pearl away "get back in the van, we're getting Steven back!" His face was more serious than she had ever seen it, the moment he closed the door and the two sped off, where? Pearl didn't know
The Barn
Jasper threw Ludlamite to the ground shattering the silver rings, "You two should have know you couldn't beat me, none of your defective gems could ever beat me and now" Jasper held her arm up and both her gauntlet and whip merged into a large barbed fist "I'll shatter you both!"
As her fist came down Lion let out a howl that sent Jasper flying, Lion charged at her knocking her back farther, Lion clawed and bit her Jasper, and the two vanished, but a moment later the two reappeared as Jasper threw Lion to the ground and slammed right on top of him, she lifted him in the air by his throat and shoved her hand through his mane and a surge of pink lighting crackled around both of them, Jasper screamed out in agony but pulled the pink shard from the now unconscious Lion and threw him away
"Finally!" Jasper making the shard vanish "Now for you" she said approaching Ludlamite, Ludlamite had a mischievous smile
"Oh you IDIOT!" Ludlamite laughed and held out her hand, from Jasper's armor a silver liquid began leaking from it and covered her arms
"No….how!?"
2 Minutes Earlier
Jasper grabbed the two metallic rings and slammed them into Ludlamite, as they shattered and Jasper moved toward Ludlamite, the metal melted and sealed itself inside Jasper's armor
Now
"They weren't ordinary rings Jasper, they were mercury, metal and liquid together", the mercury began covering all of Jasper's body and began crushing her body "Wha…Wait I almost forgot!" Ludlamite held her hand out and suddenly the metal popped out Ruby and Amethyst's gems
"You'll both be safe now" she said both gems glowed and reformed there bodies
"that felt weird" Amethyst said watching as Jasper was poofed by the mercury, she looked to Ludlamite "Peridot?…Lapis….?"
"Yeah I…we….she….oh boy" she said as her body started destabilizing becoming Peridot and Lapis again
"RUBY!" the 4 gems turned in shock and saw Sapphire, her hair now out of her face showing one VERY angry eye racing toward them
"Sapphire!…I…I'm sorry I…"
"How dare you run off like that, you could have gotten yourself shattered!"
"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking I was just so….so"
"angry I know, good thing I saw you were going to do this"
"I guess" Sapphire held Ruby for a moment
"I miss him to"
The Warp Pad
The van stopped at the ruins of the temple Pearl slowly followed as Greg stood on the warp pad "how does this thing work?"
"Where are we going?" Pearl asked standing on the warp pad
"a temple on Spike Mountain"
"Where?"
"Rose brought me before Steven was born, if anything can help us get him back, it's the person at the temple" Greg said with a very serious look on his face
?
"What does that even mean!?" Steven yelled freaking out,the floating teen laughed and landed right in front of him "Call me BD, I'm a friend of your moms before I got stuck here"
"where's here?" Steven asked
"inside my gem, years ago after the war I was stuck here after the women I loved destroyed my body and trapped me deep in the edge of the earth" he looked angry then switched to a happy grin "But enough about all that, we need to get you out of here….pull up your shirt"
Steven obeyed "hmm nope no gem" he said poking at Steven's newly created belly button "look kid you really gotta stop eating donuts….man" BD laughed as he poked at Steven's stomach "Do you know what happened to your gem?"
"no just that Jasper….Jasper…." Steven realized he didn't really remember what happened just Jasper was about to stomp on him and he just vanished
"Alright let's try this" BD said as he held out his hand which glowed black and blue then faded "alright so poofing you back into your gem won't work…."
BD took a few steps away then let out a shout and suddenly his body grew very large and unhumanlike
His head was pyramid shape and had two glowing blue eyes, he had 8 floating arms the cycled around his body
"What the!?" Steven said shocked
"Behold My True Form the Form of Black Diamond! The Mighty, The Justice, The Destroyer of Worlds….." the body began to destabilize and BD floating laughing to himself
"Sorry Sorry it's been so long since I've had anyone see me do that….I mean Destroyer of Worlds?….it was once and I apologized hahaha"
"y…your Black Diamond…I've never even heard of you!"
"of course you didn't no gem has, its always been the 4 founders of the diamond authority, no one ever talks about the person who helped" Steven stared at BD in awe
"Right kid sorry I was about to bring you back" BD held out his hand which glowed bright blue then fizzled "alright let's just watch and little TV while I sort….this out" he said as his hand were smoking
"TV?"
"Yeah" he said snapping his fingers as a large mirror appear in front of them "we're just in time to watch my favorite show , it's about this hopeless goofball who falls in love with this women who's WAY out of his league and her best friend is in love with her but she's soooo oblivious"
"why does that sound so familiar" Steven said
"oh it's an adventure episode" BD said as the screen showed two people scaling a mountain
Spike Mountain
"Greg are you sure this is safe?' Pearl asked as she slowly followed behind Greg, who was surprisingly silent as he climbed the large mountain
"Yes we're getting my son back"
As Pearl followed she felt something drip on her face, and noticed as she wiped it away it was blood, Greg was hurting himself to get up this mountain
The Barn
Sapphire held her hand against Lion, he was unconscious but his heart was still beating, that was good, he would pull through, Lion was now the only connection they had to Steven
"Sapphire….uh how is he?" Ruby asked as she slowly entered barn
"He'll be alright, I don't know what Jasper did to him, but he'll pull through"
"That's good, I think we should go"
"Go where Ruby?"
"I mean we should go, Amethyst and the others need Garnet now"
"Your right, I can't see a possibility either of us can be any help to them now"
"I love you Sapphire"
"I Love you to Ruby"
The two hugged and cried about there loss, even though they didn't bring Steven into this world, neither of them could deny
He was there son
The two glowed and as there bodies molded back together Garnet stood in her new form
The right side of her uniform was cold blue and the left side was searing red, her visor now had a gold frame and the lens was blue with a red reflection
"I promise Steven we….and I will do what we have to, to get you back" Garnet said as she made her way to Connie and the others "Sorry I came a apart on you all"
"are you two alright?" Lapis asked
"Ruby and Sapphire are dealing with it together, I know what we have to do now"
"and what's that?" Peridot asked
"We need to get some back up" Garnet said "Let's go back to the temple" she said motioning toward the warp pad
Spike Mountain
Pearl leaped to the top and found Greg standing there in front of what looked like a frame against the stone wall
"Greg what is this?"
"Sugnidaydnomaidkcalb I summon you!" Greg yelled as he held his hands out, nothing seemed to happen at first, but then a swirling black and white portal opened through the frame and a cloaked figure appeared
"Greg Universe why have you summoned me?" his voice seemed a combination of Young and Old, Women and Man
"14 years ago my wife and I came to you and you told us that her and Steven couldn't both exist, but told me as long as she was gone Steven would be alright….he's gone now tell me how to bring him back!" Greg said to the floating man
"Worry not Greg Universe for soon your family will be reunited, sooner than you realize, I ask you only have patience All Will Be Well"
He faded away leaving Greg and Pearl standing there
"Let's go home"
The Temple-The Bubble Room
The 4 gems and Connie appeared in the room of floating bubbled gems "Garnet you can't be serious corrupted gems!?" Amethyst said in shock
"No not all of them are corrupted" she popped the rose colored bubble and held the Bismuth gem
It began to glow as Garnet tossed it in the air and Bismuth stood in front of the gems "where's Steven?" she asked
?
"Where did you go it just got good this weird guy called Sugnidaydnomaidkcalb showed up and wait is that…"
"Sorry needed popcorn" BD said holding the bowl "which reminds me hold still" he held out his hands which began to glow and suddenly a holographic rose quartz gem appear and had two red veins around it "Now which one do I connect Left or Right?…..I don't think it matters" he said and the left red vein connected to the gem which then exploded in a pink glow "Great now all we gotta do is wait till you materialize from your gem, and word to the wise unless you wanna look freaky plan what your gonna look like"
Steven smiled and hugged BD "Thanks buddy"
"oh come on it was nothing, you'd do the same for me…..buddy" he said uncomfortable with being hugged
The Temple
Bismuth's fist went through the wall "She DID WHAT!?" her arm had grown large "we didn't agree about things….but that boy….he didn't deserve that!" Garnet embraced Bismuth "It'll be alright, we'll get him back"
"uh…guys" Connie said as Steven's gem lit up in her hands and then shot out through the hole in the wall "Steven!" Connie yelled as she ran after him, however Connie stopped as she saw the gem flying into the air
The Road-On The Way To Beach City
Greg grunted as the two drove, Pearl notice his hands were covered in scratches and blood, for the fist time Greg looked angry, she knew the whole 'wait for it' answer was what Greg wanted, and honestly neither did Pearl
"Greg stop the van" she said, and Greg grunted and obeyed, Pearl got out of the passenger seat and opened the door "give me your hands"
"Pearl I…"
"hands" he obeyed and Pearl used the first aid kit to treat them "Honestly you and Steven both of you would be in pieces if it weren't for me" she said "when he comes back it will be easier if your in one piece" she had a smile and Greg started smiling to
"I…I promise Rose I would always take care of him, I didn't worry when he was in the city, I knew we would take care of him but…."
"you didn't fail him Greg, we don't know how Jasper got out, but when we find her, we'll make sure she never gets out again"
"Uh Pearl…"
"not now Greg I'm almost done"
"incoming!" Greg grabbed Rose and rolled out of the seat as the red shooting object struck the side of the van
"Steven?" Pearl said as she saw the Rose Quartz gem now embedded in the side of the van Greg quickly pulled the gem out
"don't worry shtoo-ball daddy's here and I…"
"YOU!" Greg turned and saw Jasper standing over him with Pearl raise over her head,she then slammed her down on her knee poofing her body and throwing her gem off the side of the road
"Peal!" Greg said trying to catch her
"Give me the gem!" Jasper said as she punched Greg in the stomach, he slipped Steven's gem in his pocket
"I'm not giving you my son!" Greg said, Jasper then grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the van
"I won't ask again human!"
"y….you…can't have him" Greg said kicking at her, but it was in vain, she kept punching him in the face, but Greg didn't budge "Y…you'll just have to kill me"
"With Pleasure!" she cocked her arm back and shot at him.
But then Steven's gem flew from Greg's pocket forming the shield which deflected and sent Jasper flying back
"Steven?" Greg choked out as he laid there in pain, but to his surprise the body that formed from his gem wasn't Steven
"what is this!?" Jasper yelled out in shock as Rose Quartz appeared with her sword and shield
"Jasper" she said with distain "I will give you only one chance to leave or else"
"You don't scare me Rose Quartz" Jasper said summoning her helmet and charging at Rose
"I warned you" Rose said moving with surprising speed for her large frame and impaling Jasper, as she poofed Rose quickly bubbled her gem and sent it away
She turned and held Greg's chin in her between her fingers and kissing his forehead, healing him
"Rose is it….really you?"
"oh Greg…..wait what am I wearing?" Rose said and noticed she was wearing a tiny red shirt with a yellow star on it, and very short shorts….she never wore shorts
"Th…Those are Steven's clothes….wait where is he?" Greg said then remembered "Pearl!" he yelled as he jumped over the side of the road and ran down the short cliff and found Pearl's gem in the creak, he wiped the gem off and watched as Pearl reformed her body
"Greg are you alright did she hurt you?" Pearl said looking over Greg
"Yeah but…I had some help" he said as Pearl followed him back to the road, and to Pearl's shock there she stood Rose, after all these year she still looked the same….except she was in Steven's clothes
"Rose!" Pearl ran and hugged her, and Rose squeezed her
"My Pearl it's been so long…wait where's Steven?"
"oh boy" both Greg and Pearl said in unison this was one conversation neither of them wanted to have
