Chapter 3: Well Here's a Start
"You know we can go look for your clod…I mean crystal gem friends on our own" Peridot said proudly. "Peridot I know that, that's why I'm here I just don't have a clue where to look" Steven said with sorrow in his voice. Then he continues "And besides we don't have Lapis to help us anymore". "Steven that's not all we're going to do using my highly inhuman advance intelligence I will be able to make a tracker to find the gems in question with a simple GSF or DNA sample as what you earth creatures call it" Peridot said excitedly. "So take me to your house" Peridot said after Steven didn't answer.
Steven nodded and began to walk forward gesturing for Peridot to follow along. When they arrived to the door Peridot pressed the giant red button to open it. "Lion right around here, where did he go?" Steven questioned. "Lion come over here this is not a time to play!" Steven finished and looked around for him still not sight of him. "So, it appears your friend won't be appearing let's just walk there" Peridot stated arms folded. "Peridot it's really far from here it's going to take a while to get there and it's dangerous" Steven didn't get a chance to finish because Peridot jumped in. "Hey let's steal one of your mobile thing humans ride around in, I'll make it start without one of your key starters" Peridot said jumping up and down with excitement. I mean after all technology is Peridot's specialty.
Steven and Peridot walked until they found a car. "Well this should be easy enough, simply break the window Steven so I can get in" Peridot said pointing to the driver's side window. "This feels really wrong I wonder what Pearl would say?" Steven thought but quickly disregarded it remembering the way Pearl drove speeding away the police, he summons his shield and mashed it against the window.
A few minutes later off they drove Peridot using cans she found from the trash as limb extenders to reach the gas and the break. Steven told Peridot where to go. Stoplights meaning nothing to them since no one was driving everybody hiding in their homes with their doors locked.
"Alright we finally made it time to look for hair samples from the crystal gems all we need is one little hair" Peridot said as Steven open the door. Only to be meant with a stranger. "A robot from Homeworld, clearly a lower tech one" she whispered to Steven. "What do we do now, couldn't we just break it? Steven questioned obviously not knowing the abilities of this lower tech machinery. "Steven, they use this device to locate people, probably you the only missing crystal gem. They also most likely concluded that you are Rose quartz." Peridot whispered and took a quick deep breath. "Luckily the machine in questioning is probably not looking for me since they sent it to your house and not the barn" Peridot said in a sigh. "So, what are we supposed to do?" Steven said. "Simple we can use this to search for the crystal gems much easier than looking for a hair sample. Here's the plan…...
"Steven oh my god it's working!" Peridot yelled having successfully use her ability to move metal.
"Now all we need is a controlled shock to deactivate it and here it comes!" Steven yelled zapping the machine with a cord with the wires exposed. "I have to work fast on reprogramming this thing...I mean sure the Homeworld gems will know something wrong with their machine when it doesn't bring you back but it doesn't mean we can't use it to benefit ourselves" Peridot said. "Now all we have to do is put in one of your gem friends name…Garnet a fusion so no, Pearl nah, oh yes Amethyst!" Peridot said enthusiastically. "So, it's done right Peridot we can find the gems" Steven said bouncing due to his new-found hope. "Duh Steven me the great loveable Peridot not pulling through this must be a joke" she stated proudly one fist held up in the air. "Then let's go and if we come across anything I can protect use with ease" Steven said tugging Peridot along.
