[*]

Crystal Gem Temple

In the Crystal Gem Temple stood the Carnelian, the Jasper, and Amethyst. The inside of the house was dark and quiet after being abandoned.

The Carnelian stepped off the warp pad and looked around.

"This place is strange."

She turned back to the Jasper and Amethyst, still on the warp pad, and noticed the temple door behind them. She pointed to it.

"Look! A door!"

The Jasper and Amethyst turned to see it. The three Gems walked up to it. They noticed the five gemstones placed on it.

"Oh, they are locked with these gemstones." said the Jasper.

The Amethyst noticed one of the gemstones was an Amethyst.

"Wait!" she said, "One of these is an Amethyst! I can unlock it!"

She stood and her shoulder gemstone glowed, and so did the Amethyst on the door. Soon enough, the door opened, revealing Crystal Gem Amethyst's room. Her messy, messy room, filled with large piles of junk. They all looked to the room in disgust.

"Absolutely appalling…" said the Carnelian.

"Well, it's a start…" said the Amethyst.

She walked in and looked around, with the other two following from behind. Eventually, the Amethyst spotted a hall nearby.

"Look! An exit! Hopefully…"

They ran in. The hallway seemed endless. Eventually, the ground flipped up to the ceiling, and they were running upside down. Then, the ground flipped back down, and they were running right side up again.

They eventually reached the end of the hallway, and found themselves in the Crystal Heart room. They looked up at the Crystal Heart.

"A Crystal Heart…" said the Carnelian.

The Jasper noticed a hole for one of the crystal veins of the Crystal Heart.

"Let's see what's down here!"

As she jumped onto the vein, two voices called out simultaneously.

"Wait!"

The Jasper turned to them.

"You don't know what's down there!" said the Carnelian!

"Wouldn't hurt to look!" said the Jasper, "Amethyst! Come down here!"

The Amethyst was hesitant.

"But-"

"And that's an order!" said the Jasper as she was sliding down the vein.

The Amethyst followed. She held onto the vein and descended down.

The Carnelian stared down as the Amethyst disappeared from sight. A few seconds later, a beeping could be heard. She held up her right arm wrist, and a hologram came on of the Jasper.

"Carnelian, we found a room full of bubbled gems!"

"You have?!" asked the Carnelian."

"Yes." replied the Jasper, "You should come down here."

The hologram disappeared. The Carnelian looked down at the dark abyss below. She jumped onto the vein, and came speeding down. She finally reached the bubble room. She let go of the vein, and landed feet first. She saw the Jasper and Amethyst looking around at all the bubbled gems. She followed. All the bubbles hovering over them.

"Look at all these bubbles!" said the Amethyst.

The Carnelian looked back to them.

"There must still be Crystal Gems from the rebellion STILL alive."

The Jasper immediately turned to her.

"It can't be. All the Crystal Gems were wiped out."

"That's clearly not the case anymore." said the Carnelian, "There's still a good number of them alive. Who else could've bubbled all these Gems?"

The Amethyst pointed up to a bubble.

"Look at this one!"

The two saw the bubbled Gem.

"It's- It's a Jasper…" said the Carnelian.

The Amethyst passed the bubble over to her commander.

"We should bring it to Yellow Diamond."

"What about the other ones?" said the Amethyst.

"We'll worry about those later." she replied, "Right now, we'll take this one to add back to our army."

The Jasper called for Yellow Diamond, and her body appeared in hologram.

"Yes? What is it, Jasper?"

"My Diamond, we have come across a very strange place, full of bubble Gems. I have here in my hand a bubble with a Jasper inside."

"You do?" she said in curiosity.

"Affirmative."

"Bring her to me."

"That's exactly what we were going to do. We're heading back right now."

The hologram disappeared. The three walked off with the bubble.

Meanwhile At The Kindergarten…

The portal activated, and there was the four Gems.

"Alright, let's find that Peridot." said one of the Gems.

They all split up. They looked in every hole, every corner, even the underground facility.

Thirty Minutes Later

The Gems all were gathered in front of the warp pad.

"Nothing, as I thought." said one of the Gems.

The Ruby looked at a hologram of Earth.

"There's one more Kindergarten to look through, the Beta Kindergarten… Let's go."

The four got onto the warp pad and warped away.

They were now at the Beta Kindergarten. They began searching around.

Meanwhile At Stewart International Airport, Empire State…

Air Force One was touching down onto the runway. Stewart International Airport, which was 60 miles north of Empire City, was attempting to continue business after the triumph over Homeworld, though most of the cities listed for it were destroyed, so not many flights could be deployed. But, the airport agreed to clear the runway for Air Force One to land.

The plane was decreasing in speed. It stopped near several helicopters, blades turning. These were the helicopters that were to send the President and the rest of his staff to the former Empire City.

The President, holding his daughter in his arms, was followed by his staff and the Gems. The President, a few Army guards, the Gem crew, and a few of the President's staff got into the first helicopter, and the rest of the staff into the second.

The two helicopters rose from the ground and were headed towards Empire City.

Meanwhile In The Desert…

Yellow Diamond picked up a large piece of the Mothership and threw it over to Marshal Onyx. She grabbed the piece and laid it on the ground. Yellow Pearl walked up, holding a few pieces, and handed them to Onyx.

"Thank you."

Then, the warp pad activate, and the Carnelian, Jasper and Amethyst emerged. Yellow Diamond turned to them.

"Ah, you're back."

"Yes, and with the Jasper." said the Carnelian.

The Jasper popped the bubble, and the gemstone lay in the sand. It began to glow. They stood back as the gemstone rose from the ground. There was a flash, and a silhouette was forming. The flash receded, and there was Jasper, but corrupted. She turned to the three Gems. They were shocked.

Jasper charged at them. Then, a sudden noise, like the slash of a sword could be heard, and Jasper froze. She then poofed, and her gemstone lande in the sand. Yellow Diamond picked up the gemstone and bubbled it.

"You idiots! She was corrupted!"

"We could try the other ones." said the Carnelian.

"Forget the other ones! And-..."

She had a thought.

"You said that there was a lot of bubbled Gems in there?"

"Y-Yes, My Diamond." said the Carnelian.

"It can't be…"

"I think we already know what you're thinking, My Diamond." said the Carnelian, "We too think that there are Crystal Gems still alive on this planet."

Yellow Diamond looked at the bubble and then back to them.

"We're going back."
