Steven's mind was a blur, he sat in the middle of a plain white area. He felt dizzy. Underneath where he laid was the group rippling like water. Am I...outside? Was it this calm before..? Steven couldn't think as the dizziness got worse. He saw three, or even four of everything shaking around in his vision, becoming blurry, he tried to stand, but his feet wouldn't let him. He stared at his feet as they shook in pairs of two, becoming clumped and shaky, like one of those dizzy characters in cartoons, when they saw double and got dizzy. He finally got up and managed to walk a few steps as his vision became completely white and hazy. He peered down, he realized he could still see his hands and feet. What- He realized that the group below him was rippling. He stared at his hands, they seemed to ripple slightly too, they didn't turn white like they did as if he were shape shifting, instead they stayed their natural color and jut seemed to ripple and dance slightly. For a split second in the daze and mist he thought he caught a face. He fell down onto his knees when he heard Pearls voice.

STEVEN!

Pearl shuck the sleeping boy violently, his eyes flickered. They were in the cell...again. He could've sworn...In the mix of Pearls voice and the rippling sound of waves, he thought he heard another voice. What was it telling him again? Something about going towards an alter? No...fountain maybe? Could it be-

"Steven?!" Pearl shuck him once more as he realized he was still on the floor. He sat up quietly, glancing over his shoulder to a sleeping Connie. His face softened upon seeing the fallen girl, bruised, bleeding, and wounded. She had torn cloth on her shoulders, the gems also had torn cloth over their bodies. Why didn't they just regenerate?

"I-I'm okay." He said, he was still pretty dizzy, he could've sworn though...He saw a face in the mist covering the floor, was it the one speaking possibly? Ugh so many questions and problems to be solved! He couldn't even process it, and toppling over it was his still wiped memory! ...She sounds so worried...so upset...Will they be alright? Who were they? What did they want? Amethysts eyes were dulled as she sat against the cold stone wall. Pearl looked on the brink of insanity. Garnet looked calm with her visor on, but it was obvious she was just as worried. Steven shut out his thoughts for the time being as he scanned the room, Connie was still sleeping soundly, curled up in a loose ball with her legs sprawled out on the floor, slightly bent, and her arms close to her chest limp, her face looked so vulnerable, it was pointed above her, as if she were looking for something on the ground behind her. Her eyes quivered, she looked about ready to wake up.

"Is this the cellar?" Steven asked, Amethyst nodded slowly, her eyes dulled made it look as if she were a puppet on loose strings, and someone was struggling to make her nod. Steven laid down awkwardly, letting his mind drift to other subjects.

After a few hours of sitting and waiting Pearl rose from her spot on the ground, she took out her spear.

"Pearl...?" Steven asked, suddenly worried. The gem glanced at him, a ghostly shadow crossing over her features as she turned from him towards the wall, she stuck her spear into the wall, attempting to take out some of the rocks that were built up into a wall, she violently tore at the rocks until the budged. Garnet got up and smashed her fists in the wall, Steven stared at the gems who pounded at the walls. "Why couldn't we have done this sooner?" Steven asked. Pearl glanced back at him.

"It's nightfall most guards are off duty, Yellow Diamond is preparing for lift off to kindergarten, and the only gems left should be Jasper and Peridot, but their helping staff get back to base." Pearl muttered.

"How do you know..?" Steven asked, he was suddenly worried this was going to be something he didn't want to hear.

"I used to be apart of this mission Steven, so was your mother and Garnet." Pearl said, she looked absolutely calm, but instead she was really breaking inside. Amethyst remembered the time they'd shown Steven the kindergarten and Pearl had said earlier that day that the gems were doing something horrible to Earth, Garnet, Pearl, and Rose decided it wasn't right and forced them off Earth...leading to the war. Amethyst remembered having to fight these very same gems when they had worked for Yellow Diamond, but then that meant Rose had to try invading gems off of Earth, Greg had told Steven this before he'd lost his memories once before.

that must be why I remembered these gems...it must of been a feeling I'd inherited by my mother...He thought. He suddenly remembered the fountain.

"Hey, do you know anything about a fountain?" Steven spoke up. Pearl turned to him.

"Roses fountain..." Pearl murmured. It had worked before, but now it had been destroyed, inactive, the only way to heal broken gems was destroyed...unless..."You have your mothers gem...maybe you can reactivate it! Rebuild it!" pearl cried. Garnet took a few more blows to the wall and it collapsed, by now the gems had heard the loud banging, they had to hurry. "C'mon! Hurry!" Pearl cried, grabbing Stevens arm and picking up Connie.
