"Guys?" Steven cried within the mirror. He glanced around the area. He was floating on a blue cloud that blended into the sky. It was a navy blue sky with a tinge of orange flickering every now and then. He placed his hand on the glass wall in from of him. He realized he was wearing a white T-shirt with a yellow star in the middle, with orange trousers. He had bare feet and looked at the comical outfit strangely. Then he watched the mirror light up with a digital image of Pearl, several smaller cubed particles arranged themselves around the image in a blue blur. Pearls image was glitching, every few seconds it would glitch to the right on the middle, and just below and a few inches above, the left. Her voice cracked and was either glitching or sore from crying.

"Steven!" Pearl cried in distress at seeing the boy locked up like this. Steven called out to her.

"Pearl, can you hear me?!" He cried again. She just sat there crying, not seeing or hearing him it supposed. He realized his gem was gone as he reached over to tap on it. He noticed a small blue glowing box on the corner of the glass wall. The letters were smudged, he tapped it anyway revealing a few boxes, Pearls projection had shifted to the bottom of the screen. Steven tapped on one of them, replaying,

"Steven~!" Pearls voice echoed, Pearls face on the projection- hologram- thing- looked shocked. Steven realized he'd noticed something familiar about this, that Lapis Lazuli girl, didn't she have something to do with this..? It was too foggy he couldn't remember. He realized he couldn't do anything and just sat, watching from the mirrors view.

"How do we get him out?" Amethyst asked, oblivious to the still angered Lapis, Peridot, and Topaz ready to strike at any moment. Pearl shook her head.

"I don't know, but right now we have a bigger-" Pearl was smashed into the wall by a beam of energy, courtesy of Peridot, before she could finish. Lapis struck Garnet with a aqua fist. Garnet lie on the floor, trying to get enough energy to stand back up. Amethyst charged at Topaz, her whip swung around the gem with remarkable speed, and she flung Topaz with all her might against the wall.

"Get up!" Amethyst cried to the fellow gems who lie on the floor, they were obviously still moving, just slowly and stiffly. Pearl groaned as she noticed her lip was bleeding. Amethyst and Garnet both stood side by side, blocking Lapis's attacks to Pearl. Pearl glanced over to the mirror lying on its side, she reached for it, but her fingers were crushed by Topaz's boot crushing her hand. She wailed and retreated to her gem. Topaz took the rose quartz mirror. She grinned and gestured for Lapis and Peridot to flee. Amethyst and Garnet were struck into the ground with remarkable strength. Topaz glared back at them just before retreating.

Peridot smiled at her work, she had fixed her escape pod. Lapis looked at it suspiciously.

"Just because you beat us that one time doesn't mean you can order us around, we all have our goals for defeating the crystal gems." Peridot said, Lapis smiled evilly.

"Ya know, I still can beat you in a fight, but I could still use an alliance..As long at the gems pay." Lapis said, she hated them for trapping her for so long, Steven was the only one she cared about and she'd keep him safe inside that mirror. She ran her fingers over the pentagon shaped gem. The smooth warm touch wasn't like her own gem that was cold and had scratches along it. Lapis heard a few screams across the forest and turned around to face a green gem.

Well, not all green, she was turquoise mostly. She wore a blue scarf and a green tank top, blue shorts and bare feet, her hair was short and went down to her shoulders. Her eyes were green and hair blue, she wore a frown on her face matching her grim attire, it was ripped and looked as if she'd been stuck in smoke and ashes. She had cuts and tears along her clothes and skin. Her left eye had a large bandage over it shaped as a square.

"Who-" Lapis was cut off as the gem was suddenly in front of her, with a speed as if she'd teleported.

"Cats eye." She said briskly. "What are you doing on my island?" She asked.

"Your island?" Lapis asked.

"Yes." Cats eye replied, she lifted her hand by her side and the ground rose from below is, bringing up a similar version of herself in pink, a large chunk of the island formed the gem. This one was exposing its gem on its forehead while the one that had formed it had it on her wrist like a bracelet, it had metal rings around the gem. The gem had a bright slash in the middle looking similar to a cats eye.

"How did you-"

"Many of my species come from home world, but stayed hidden, after years of hiding we came hear, forming our own island, we've lived on it for centuries, all the same gem." Cats eye said in a English accent. "This island in a fusion, we can manipulate it however we please, I can, she can, anyone as the fusion can." Cats eye explained, dropping the gem into the island.

"That's insane!" Lapis burst. She covered her hand with her mouth.

"Leave." She commanded.

"What-"

"Leave."

"How-"

"LEAVE!" She yelled. Lapis nodded, walking over to Peridot, just as Cats eye fused into the island.

"How long will that escape pod be ready?" Lapis asked.
