Connie panicked. "Where's Steven!?" She yelled. "Why are you asking us? We haven't seen Steven since he left for school." Pearl responded. All three of the kids looked at each other in fear. "Um, okay well...We'll just be right back." Diamond said awkwardly.
The three kids walked out of the room with their heads down. "I remember when he saved me from Frybo when he was possessed." PeeDee said quietly. "If t weren't for Steven, I wouldn't have any friends." Connie said almost crying. Diamond patted her on the back.
A loud firework sound came from behind the three. They turned around to see a bunch of water flying towards them. Diamond pushed Connie and PeeDee out of the way and the water hit the sand causing sand I fly everywhere. Connie gasped, "Lapis!" She said in shock. "Who?" Diamond asked. "Lapis. She's a gem that the Crustal Gems kept trapped in a mirror until Steven set her free and she went into space." Connie explained.
Diamond looked at Connie, eyes wide at how she knows this. "Let's just say I wanted to come." Connie shrugged. Another blast of water came hurdling towards the kids at high speed and Diamond pulled the other two behind a rock and she ran the opposite direction. "Why is Lapis doning this is Steven made her happy again?" Diamond yelled as she dodged water balls coming at her even faster than a race car. "It's not technically Lapis who's doing it. It's also a bad gem who eats to destroy earth."
Diamond dodged another puddle of water. "Well that's stupid! Earth is the best! It's so cool here." Diamond ranted. "Diamond, watch out!" PeeDee yelled as a pool of water came hurdling at Diamond when she wasn't looking. Diamond rolled out of the way and te water hit the rock that PeeDee and Connie were hiding behind.
The earth began to shake and the water balls stopped being thrown. PeeDee lost his valence and fell down. A huge gem with four arms and four legs came walking out of the ocean. It had tons of eyes and an evil smile.
The two gems making up the monstrous gem de-fused. "Please Jasper, don't hurt them!" Lapis yelled and Jasper have her a look so evil it gave Lapis shivers all up and down her spine.
Jasper walked over to the trio. "Long time no see, huh?" She said lookig directly at Diamond. "Me?" She asked pointing at herself. The other two looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "Why of corse. How have you been?" Jasper said in a sweet but minicing tone.
"What have you done with Steven!?" Diamond yelled in reply. "Trying to dodge my questions huh? Well, I have one question for you: how has your gem been holding up?" Diamond looked down at the ground. "My...gem?" She asked. Connie gasped.
Lapis stepped in front of Jasper. "Please, they're just kids! Don't burt them!" She yelled. Right as Lapis said that, Connie had an idea.
She ran into the temple without anyone noticing except for PeeDee. She looked around hoping to see the gems but didn't. Happily, the warp pad activated but instead of seeing Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl like she had hoped, she saw...Peridot?
