"I REQUIRE THE STEVEN ASSISTANCE!" shouted Peridot entering the house and slamming the door and waking up Lapis in the process.
"HEY! Whats the big idea screaming like that?! Are you having revenge against me for waking you up in that manner?" said Lapis very annoyed by how Peridot shouted.
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! I NEED STEVEN!" shouted Peridot this time waking up Steven.
"*yawn* What is happening? Why did you wake me up like that, Peridot?" asked Steven rubbing his eyes.
"Steven the original Crystal Gems are doing something to Jasper gem!" explained Peridot.
"What?! I thought Garnet bubble it away!" said Steven on surprised tone.
"Actually now that I think of it, Jasper gem wasn't found in Garnet room when she showed us all the corrupted gems when we joined." added Lapis.
"We gotta do something! Lapis, do you think you can fly towards the gems and prevent on doing something bad to Jasper?" asked Steven for the help of Lapis.
"But why do you want to help Jasper? She did awful things not only to you, but to all of us!" said Lapis suprised what Steven said.
I know! But I'm tired of all this fighting between gems! Please Lapis! You need to help Jasper." said Steven begging for Lapis help.
Lapis was confused, but she remember that Steven is special and he doesn't see any evil on things.
"All right Steven, I'll do my best." said Lapis while summoning her wings.
"Thank you so much Lapis. Me and Peri will be right there we just need to do something before we go into the action." explained Steven.
With that, Lapis immediately exited the house and went towards the beach where Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl were holding the bubbled Jasper gem.
"Steven, what should we do?" asked Peridot.
"Peri, do you still have Peri Jr. with you?" asked Steven.
"Yes, why?" said a confused Peridot.
"Good take it with you we are gonna need it. Go find it meanwhile I call the Lion." said Steven getting out of the house.
"The Lion?" said a confused Peridot.
"You will see it when we get there." said Steven through the door. After that Peridot searched through the house and finally find the flask robonoid with minimal broken parts.
Finally Peridot made it out of the house and saw Steven standing on the left side.
"LION!" screamed Steven loud enough that the original trio catched their attention towards Steven.
"WHY DID STEVEN ALREADY WOKE UP?!" asked a shocked Pearl. Then without any warning Lapis fly at maximum velocity towards the gem that it popped up Jasper bubble, but also knocked the four Crystal Gems.
"OW! What the heck man?!" shouted Amethyst while rubbing her head.
"SEE! I knew we couldn't trust this homeworld gems!" shouted Pearl while summoning her spear.
Lapis was still on the floor, but Jasper gem was nowhere to be found while Steven and Peridot just stood there in the house.
"LION! I NEED YOU!" screamed Steven trying to see if Lion was somewhere close. Suddenly Lion jumped from the buttom of the outside of the house and landed infront of Steven making Peridot fall down.
"Woah! What is that thing?!" asked a surprised Peridot.
"There is no time to explain, hurry up and hop on the Lion back we need to help Lapis!" said Steven while jumping on the back of the Lion.
Peridot was still unsure about this, but since she saw that Steven needed her help she decide to also jump on the Lion back.
"All right buddy, lets go towards the beach." said Steven while patting Lion head. With that Lion jumped with full force.
"Lapis, don't interfere with this." said Garnet while also summoning her gauntlets.
"Listen, I don't want to fight with you all right?!" shouted Lapis.
"I also wouldn't fight with ME!" shouted back Amethyst while summoning a pair of her whips.
Suddenly there was a glow coming from the right side of the Beach near the ocean. The Lion along with Steven and Peridot landed on the beach and saw the glow. This glow was coming from Jasper gem and then the gem was beginning to float and revealing many silhouttes of an humanoid with long hair. Then the glowing finally stop and revealed Jasper itself.
Jasper changed only a little bit, she still has the long hair. She has a bendage on her forehead and her back was the same color of orange except with a mixture of red and a little bit of blue. She still has the armor that she use when she fought Garnet, but aside from that her gem was still cracked. She still had the injuries from the time she fought Garnet at Peridot spaceship.
"Ugh, don't...think you...won. I may be weak after that fight with the cheap fusion, but I will now have revenge." said Jasper trying to stand up. She barely could stand up, and without warning Garnet charged towards Jasper and punched her with full force sending Jasper far away knocking her.
"NO! STOP!" shouted Steven but with no avail. Pearl and Amethyst do the same and charged towards Jasper.
"Steven this is bad!" added Peridot.
"Yeah, but I think I know how to stop them. LION!" shouted Steven.
Lion nodded at Steven and unleashed a huge and loud roar that startled both Lapis and Peridot. That roar made a small Portal. Lion jumped towards the portal along with Steven and Peridot. Lapis now standing up watched that Steven, Peridot and the Lion disappear, but suddenly she saw that at the end of the portal was where Jasper was knocked.
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl were almost there and jumped with full force and then they flied with full force towards Jasper trying to connect the final attack; but without warning Steven appeared infront of them and Steven gem began to glow summoning his shield in the process and there was sudden explosion.
After the collision, The original Crystal Gems were sent flying away and got knocked up. Steven, Peridot, the Lion, and Jasper were unharmed thanks to Steven shield that protect them.
"Rose...*cough*... What are you doing?" asked a weakened Jasper.
"Procteting you of course." responded Steven still having his shield. Suddenly Lapis fly towards Steven.
"Steven! Are you okay?!" asked a worried Lapis.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But what about you Lapis?" asked Steven worried about Lapis condition.
"Don't worry about me, I'm okay." responded Lapis hugging Steven. Jasper was still on the floor but she managed to see how Lapis hugged the half gem shocking her.
Suddenly the original Crystal Gems standed up, but were a little beat weak from the attack that Steven blocked thanks to Rose Shield.
"Ugh...Steven why are you protecting her...of all gems?" asked a weakened Pearl.
"Yeah! And who told you, you can use your shield against us?!" added an annoyed Amethyst.
The shades of Garnet were knocked up, but she picked up and put it back.
"STEVEN! Would you be so kind to tell us, what is the meaning of this?! Why are you protecting the enemy?!" shouted Garnet which startled everyone since it was the second time, she was this angry.
Peridot, and Lapis hugged Steven and hide behind his back while Steven still has his shield protecting him, the gems, and Lion.
"GEMS SHOULDN'T FIGHT EACH OTHER!" screamed Steven so hard that surprised Pearl, Amethyst and even Garnet.
"Look! I know Jasper did awful things, but like Peridot she was only following orders! Do you really think that is the most honorable solution?! Attacking the weaks?! Jasper gem is cracked, and the three of you still attacked her even though she isn't a threat anymore!" shouted Steven that made Pearl and Amethyst back off a little bit.
It was the first time Steven was this strictly and serious towards the three of them.
"Just like you said Pearl! My mom only saw the good and beauty on all the living things no matter what! Is this really the way you three want to honor her?! By attacking a weak gem with that is not a threat anymore, and even threating and not trusting your own comrades. Is that the real way to honor her, EH?! I know very well that would NOT MAKE MY MOTHER PROUD!" shouted Steven and that last line he shouted so hard that shocked Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet.
Everything went silence. After the words Steven said, every of the Gems were quiet including Jasper who was very shocked by the volume of Steven. Finally Steven still having his shield, decide to talk to Jasper.
"Hey Jasper do you need any help? Please don't headbutt me again." said Steven while offering his hand to Jasper.
Jasper didn't respond she still saw Rose (Steven) as her enemy, even though She respected Rose tactics during the war for the earth.
"Tch. I don't get what you are planning Rose, but don't think I'll fall under your tricks." said Jasper. Suddenly Jasper noticed the sudden change between the clothes of Peridot and Lapis.
"Lapis, and Peridot what are you two doing?! Now that I noticed why did both of you hugged Rose?! And what happend with your clothes, they have stars instead of diamonds! What is the meaning of this?!" shouted Jasper.
Both Lapis and Peridot didn't respond, and looked away from Jasper view. Jasper was surprised about this, but she took the message.
"I see. It seems that both of you have betrayed Homeworld. I mean, I expected that from Lapis for being weak and useless, but you Peridot?! You are a high member of Yellow Diamond society! You are the reason why the technology of Yellow Diamond is superior than the army of the other two!" shouted Jasper at seeing how Lapis and Peridot were part of the Crystal Gems.
Garnet decide to walk towards Steven.
"Steven, I know this isn't the time but you are right. Rose Quartz would never attack a weak person or living thing. Even though Jasper is a enemy, you still protect her. You are right in every way, Rose wasn't a vengeful person or a person that will have any thought of revenge or desire to punish any living thing. She would only fight when it comes to protect her friends and thats what you did there, protect Jasper and our new comrades. I'm sorry Steven if we try to solve this the wrong way, Your mother would be proud of you." said Garnet while kneeling at this size of Steven and putting her hands on Steven shoulder.
"Thanks Garnet. Also I'm sorry if I sounded harsh towards you three, I didn't mean any harm." said Steven while disappearing his shield.
"Don't worry Steven, you mean well." said Garnet while smiling and kissing Steven forehead. Then Pearl and Amethyst went towards Steven.
"We are also sorry about this Steven, I hope you can forgive us." said Pearl also hugging Steven.
"Don't worry about it Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet. But I believe that the ones you should be apologizing are right at my back." said Steven while making room for Lapis, and Peridot. Suddenly Garnet stood up and walked towards Lapis and Peridot.
"Lapis, You were right when we knew that you were trapped on that mirror and didn't do anything to help you. We didn't say sorry to you or try to amend the things for you. But I hope you can forgive us and don't worry anymore about us, we are going to trust you everytime and try to amend all the horrible years you spended trapped in that mirror. I, Garnet with Pearl and Amethyst are sorry about leaving you forgotten in the mirror, and I hope you can forgive us." said Garnet while offering her hand to Lapis.
"Thats all I want to hear. An apologize. I know very well that you can't repaid me all the years I waste in the mirror, but at least you apologize to me, and I accept it." said Lapis while accepting Garnet hand and smiling at her for the first time to the Crystal Gems.
After that Garnet went to Peridot.
"Peridot, We are sorry that we broke your stuff; but we did it for the sake of Earth and Steven. I don't know what trouble got you when we broke your robonoids and other stuff you made, but I hope you understand that we did it for a good reason and you forgive us for breaking it." said Garnet.
"I understand that you Crystal Gems did it for a good reason. I can see it now. I accept your apologize" responded Peridot.
"Remember you are Crystal Gem too okay? You can refer me as Garnet." added Garnet.
"I understand, Garnet." added Peridot.
"See? It wasn't so bad." said Steven while smiling.
"Yeah it wasn't so bad, but first things first. What are we gonna do with Jasper?" asked Pearl about the situation they are in right now.
Everyone turn their look towards Garnet to see what she says.
"Hmmm, I am letting Steven decide this time." responded Garnet.
"Really?!" asked Steven with stars and diamond on his eyes.
"Yeah. You teach us a valuable lesson that we will never forget, besides you are also a member of the Crystal Gems." said Garnet while rubbing Steven hair.
"Heh, heh, heh. Okay then, Lets get back inside the house. Everyone including Jasper." said Steven.
Pearl was unsure by Steven decision, but what Garnet had said is right since is thanks to Steven that the Gems learned good things and new things, so she decide to go with Steven decision. Everyone including Jasper went inside the house even though Jasper didn't want, she had no other choice since she was too weak to fight back or at least resist.
Inside Steven House...
Everyone enter the house and went to the living room. Jasper sat down on the left side of the couch and Steven sat down in the middle while Lapis and Peridot sat down on the right side. Suddenly Steven noticed that Jasper gem is still crack.
"Hey Jasper, do you want me to heal your gem?" asked Steven. Everyone was nervous by what Steven said. Jasper knew that the tears of Rose were capable of healing any injury of any kind, but she was hesitant at first but at the end she submitted.
"Ugh... fine." said Jasper. Steven smiled upon hearing that, so he licked his hand suprising Jasper, and Peridot.
"All right Jasper, prepared to be healed!" said Steven with full excitement.
"Woah wait. Why aren't you crying? And what is that strange liquid?!" asked Jasper, but without warning Steven put his hand on Jasper cracked gem. Jasper was grossed out a little bit when Steven put his hand on her gem. After that, Steven remove his hand from Jasper gem awaiting for the result.
There was a small glow coming from the gem of Jasper and suddenly all the injuries of Jasper were healed and his armor were fixed.
"But...how?! I thought you only heal gems with your tears not with that strange, gooey and icky liquid." said a very confused Jasper.
"Well, its a complicated story, but I don't need tears to heal because I'm too tough to cry." said Steven while striking a pose.
"Steven. Remember the snakes." added Garnet.
"Well, only when it comes to important things. Heh, heh, heh." said Steven while laughing a little bit.
"Ugh... I seriously don't understand any of this. PERIDOT! Explain now!" shouted Jasper.
"Listen Jasper, You are no longer my superior all right? I will not obey any command you give me." said Peridot with calmly tone.
"What?! You little... Do you even realize that you are betraying your own home, Homeworld?!" shouted Jasper.
"Listen to me. You have been in Homeworld for a long time, and you know very well along with Lapis that Homeworld has changed in many ways." added Peridot.
"So what?! Its nothing compared to what Yellow Diamond will do to you when she founds out that you betray her and joined this useless and weak gems!" said Jasper.
The original Crystal Gems were very angry at how Jasper was acting, but Steven and Lapis stood there without flinching and staying calm.
"I understand the consequences, and I honestly don't care anymore about Yellow Diamond or the other two. With Steven, I manage expierence lots of things that I never felt but feels good. With the Steven I feel protected and secure instead of person that only gets yelled at and recieving punishment every time I do something wrong." explained Peridot.
Jasper was very surprised and angry by how she saw that Peridot betrayed and even went with Crystal Gems over her own home.
"Ugh...Whatever, I know very well that threating you won't change your mind." said Jasper on a angry and somewhat annoyed voice.
"Sooooo, whats the plan?" asked Amethyst.
"The plan is: We let Steven decide what to do with her." said Garnet while adjusting her shades.
"Oh yeah! I say we let Jasper have one opportunity!" said Steven while striking a somewhat dedicated pose.
"What now?" said Jasper regaining her attention towards Steven.
"Thats right Jasper. Since its still morning We are going to have one special day together. Just you and me!" said Steven while smiling with starry eyes.
"Rose, I don't know what are you doing but don't get too close to me. Its annoying." said Jasper seemingly a little bit awkard by Steven happy expression.
"Oh! Heh, heh, heh, oops. I'm sorry Jasper, but I'm not Mom, My name is Steven Universe." said Steven while making room for Jasper.
"Whats a mom?" asked a more confused Jasper.
"Oh geez." said Amethyst while facepalming her face.
"Heh , don't worry about it. Right now lets just have the best and fun day ever!" said Steven.
Suddenly Steven let out a huge yawn.
"Steven, you need to sleep a little bit more." said Garnet.
"Oh man! But I want to have fun with Jasper *yawn*" said Steven while yawning.
"You can have fun with her, after sleeping a little bit more all right? Besides all the places you were planned to take Jasper are still closed, and the Big Donuts don't sell donuts at this hour." explained Garnet.
"All right. Sorry Jasper, but it seems you have to wait a little bit." said Steven leaving Jasper very confused.
"Lapis, would you be so kind to take Steven to the bed?" said Garnet.
"Okay, I'll take Steven to the bed." said Lapis. Then Lapis grabbed Steven and walked with him until arriving to his bed.
"Come on Steven, lets get you some comfty and good sleep." said Lapis while holding Steven hand and walking with him with a big smile.
"Thanks Lapis." added Steven.
With that, Steven went to bed leaving Jasper fate awaiting until Steven wakes up from his nap. The only option Jasper has is to wait in the living room with the surveillance of the Crystal Gems.
"(This is very annoying! Ugh! Now I know how Lapis felt when I imprison her along with those weakly gems.)" thought Jasper.
