Angelite, Tourmaline, and Alabaster washed up on the demolished boardwalk. Angelite shook the wet hair out of her face, surveying the damage. "That thing destroyed everything in its path!" she exclaimed.

Alabaster got up and faced the boardwalk. She closed her eyes and focused, using her powers to repair it. The damaged boards rose into the air, fixing themselves and returning to their original places on the boardwalk. The fallen streetlights turned upright. Broken shop signs were fixed in an instant. Alabaster then turned towards the other two, summoning her staff. "I know Onyx and the other gems. I can persuade them to end this madness. They're doing this for control over the Earth, but we can make them understand that the Earth doesn't deserve this."

"How will you manage to make an army of determined gems who have been planning this for thousands of years change their minds? It isn't that simple." Angelite said with a frown.

Tourmaline placed her hand on Angelite's shoulder and grinned. "You changed us, didn't you?"

There was a faint explosion, and the Omni-Fusion shot into the air, forming dragon-like wings and soaring towards Beach City. The fusion swung its long neck in every direction, breathing multi-colored fire, baring its sharp talons, and shaking its large tail. The abomination had sharp spikes all along its neck, back, and tail. Its skin was pitch black with random splotches of colors all over like a nightmarish rainbow. It had three pairs of thin, slanted eyes that were all solid black and fixated on Angelite. The entire fusion was covered in assorted gems, all black with specks of various colors.

"It's a dragon!" Tourmaline murmured, backing away.

"Rainbow Obsidian," Alabaster whispered confusedly.

"Take my hand," Angelite said without breaking eye contact with the fusion. "Now."

Alabaster and Tourmaline obliged, and in a multi-colored flash, the three of them phased into each other. In their place was a tall, six-armed fusion with long wild and flowing aero blue hair and six eyes. The top set was silver, the second set was perano, and the third set was chartreuse. The fusion had lavender skin and wore a teal jerkin with a silver-plated belt and a long floral white skirt, along with seafoam green combat boots. Their gems were Angel Aura Quartz, with the colors green and lavender being more prominent.

"We . . . fused." Angel Aura Quartz said, appalled.

Rainbow Obsidian halted, roaring furiously. It was incapable of speaking but was unmistakably angered by Angel Aura.

"Okay," Angel Aura Quartz said positively. "We can do this!"

They leaped into the air, summoning a large scimitar and hurling it towards the dragon. It breathed fire and melted the scimitar, then attacked, surging forward and clawing Angel Aura Quartz across the face. They upbraided, summoning a bow-and-arrow and firing numerous arrows at once. They did minimal damage, the arrows sticking out of Rainbow Obsidian harmlessly. It roared, breathing more fire and causing Angel Aura to step backward onto the boardwalk, crushing it again under their weight.

"We can't defeat it!" Angel Aura Quartz said hopelessly in Tourmaline's voice. "No," They said, Angelite's voice more prominent. "I have an idea."

They summoned a longer version Alabaster's staff and a scimitar. Angel Aura tossed them into the air and in a flash, they combined into a scythe. They chuckled, twirling the scythe and charging towards the dragon, slicing at its tail. It came clean off but wasn't enough to poof the monstrosity. Angel Aura was soon overcome with guilt. They couldn't continue to fight this thing. Only one gem deserved to be poofed, or even shattered - Onyx.

"We have to talk to the fused gems . . . get into their mind . . . make them stop." Angel Aura muttered.

Suddenly, Alabaster took control, her set of eyes widening. "Into their mind . . . telepathy!"

Angel Aura Quartz stared the dragon down.

"Gems! Rubies, Peridots, Jaspers, Pearls . . . It's me, Alabaster. The loyal attendant who's helped you all - who's been there to support you after Onyx harmed you physically or emotionally for whatever reason. I know each and every one of you so well because I know how you think. I know how you truly feel, so I know I'm correct when I say none of you are happy like this - happy being part of this monster, or happy being fused with a monster.

Onyx, you've failed. You failed the moment the Diamonds got rid of you. You thought controlling your own planet would make up for that loss, but would it really be a win if all of your "loyal" troops hated you as much as they hated Homeworld? You're a monster, you're a disgrace, and this ends now. Those who agree, rebel!"

The fusion dissipated so fast that it caused a larger explosion than when it had formed. Gems fell from the sky like rain. Angel Aura Quartz unfused as well, helping the hundreds of gems up.

Onyx was the last to land. Her eyes were locked in a perpetual glare, but she wasn't looking at Alabaster - she was looking at Angelite.

"I recognize you now. It all makes sense . . . the speed, the strength, the charm. Angelites were the perfect gem. Too perfect. I was there when they halted production and shattered them all. All but one." She pointed towards Angelite with a shaky hand. "I could take you back to Homeworld . . . be respected . . . be a hero." She broke into deranged laughter.

The gems closed in around the trio defensively. Onyx's Peridot spoke up defiantly. "We won't let that happen."

She summoned a lime green bubble around Onyx.

Onyx gasped and glared down at them all.

"We'll see," she sneered.

Peridot swept her fingers forward and sent the bubble flying into the sky.

"She won't be back anytime soon," a Ruby muttered.

"You three are amazing!" the Peridot exclaimed at Angelite, Tourmaline, and Alabaster. "You should be leading the rogues, not someone like Onyx!"

"Or just Angelite," Alabaster suggested. "She's the one who sparked all of this."

"It would be nice to do something other than running around as a loner," Angelite admitted. "Also, I don't think Onyx was kidding when she threatened to take me to Homeworld . . . with her on the loose, we'll need to relocate and plan."

"Where would we go?" Tourmaline asked. "This boardwalk has been our hideout forever."

"Celestial Summit, of course." Angelite smirked. "Secluded, huge, and it can only be accessed from a warp pad."

"That sounds excellent," Alabaster grinned.

All the gems nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled," Angelite said. "Our next adventure begins now."
