Hey, Guys! Sorry it has been so long and that this chapter is so short. I have been facing terrible writer's block and have been piled up with assignments. If I could get a suggestion or two for later chapters, I would appreciate it. I will try and update as soon as I can, but like I said, I am piled up with assignments. I am also working on a bunch of other stories and I am getting ready to release more new ones as well! Enjoy the chapter and please review or leave a suggestion. Thank-you! :)

It wasn't long before Steven, Jasper, Peridot, Lapis, and the informant were breaking through the atmosphere. Once in for only a few seconds a bright flash of light was headed for them.
"Rose light canons! They're firing right at us!" Peridot cried when seeing the light speeding towards them.
Jasper rushed over and pressed certain controls. Just in time, the ship was able to deflect the attack and get back to heading to the rebels' base.
As they were getting closer, they saw continuous attacks on them that were easily deflected. Eventually, they landed on the shore of a beach.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Steven cried as he got onto the deport pad.
The gems told Steven that he had to stay on the ship for now, so he would not get in any danger with the rebels. It took a while to finally convince Steven, but he eventually agreed to stay on the ship with his Lapis Lazuli while the ingormant, Jasper, and Peridot went out to meet the evil Crystal Gems.
It had only been a few minutes, but Steven and Lapis could tell something was wrong. They heard a loud boom, but it didn't sound right. It sounded as if something had exploded on some other surface before hitting the ground.
"I gotta go help them!" Steven said running to the deport pad.
"We have to stay in the ship like they told us!" Lapis grunted while holding onto the ship's wall and hanging onto Steven.
"They could be introuble!" Steven exclaimed pulling even harder.
"We can't!" Lapis grunting and pulling on Steven as hard as she could.
Suddenly, Lapis could feel it. She felt her grip slipping from the wall. She tried to hang on with all her might, but with one final tug, Lapis lost her grip on the wall. Steven and Lapis went flinging to the deport pad.
They were risen up to the top of the ship. Once there, Steven could not believe what he saw. There was a tall gem with black, cubed hair and shades charging at Jasper with gauntlets. There was a Pearl with beige hair pulled back in a point and a long, sharp nose. There was also a small purple gem that kind of looked like the Amethyst soldiers from Homeworld. A major thing that caught Steven's eyethough, was a small girl with dark skin and long, black hair. She looked like she was just a human.
Steven was drawn back to reality when he saw Jasper use the gem distablizer on the large gem with the cubed hair. She looked like she was slowly appraoching the girl the way a predator woild approach their prey.
Jasper had picked the girl up by her chest and was saying something, but Steven couldn't tell what. Then, suddenly, Jasper knocked the girl out with a knock to her head.
Steven saw the other two gems start to run to Jasper to get the girl back. Peridot, however launched a green net at the pearl, and Lapis quickly formed an ice cage around the small Amethyst.
"Let us out, you monsters!" the Amethyst yelled while pulling at the cage's bars.
"What's going on?!" Steven exclaimed.
The gems quickly turned around and saw Steven on top of the ship looking terrified.
"Steven," Jasper called up. "get back in the ship! We have to return to Homeworld immeadiately!"
As Jasper came into the ship, Steven saw the same girl, who was knocked out, being carried by Jasper. Steven followed behind them to see what was going to happen to her. He then saw Jasper fling the girl into a cell and switched on the field to keep the girl in.
"Who is that?" Steven asked walking up next to Jasper.
"Rose Quartz. Still hiding behind her pathetic armies and weak plans," Jasper said.
Steven was about to ask her another question but she had already thrown a gem into another cell and left. With no answer to his question, Steven just sat there for a few minutes looking at the strange girl. "She doesn't look that different from me," Steven thought to himself.
"Come on, Steven!" Lapis called from the doorway.
"What is it?" Steven asked.
"You don't want to miss this," Lapis said with a huge grin.
"Peridot and Jasper arefighting about whether we should leave or stay on Earth!"
Watching Peridot and Jasper argue usually made Steven laugh a little, but with the circumstances, he wasn't sure if it would this time.
"Coming," he finally said. "You know I wouldn't want to miss something like that," he lied. But Lapis couldn't tell the difference with the way Steven said it.
Before Steven and Lapis left, Steven took one last glance at the strange girl. "I don't think that she's Rose," Steven thought to himself as the door closed.
Once Steven and Lapis were gone, the girl started to wake up. She felt pain all over her face, and her muscles hated on her for trying to move. "Amethyst? Pearl?" she weakly called out. "Garnet," she said with a gasp. "Where are they?" she asked herself then was right in front of the barrier field.
She slowly put her hand out and saw that it went right through. "Oh, cool," she said with a giggle. She felt so wierd and tingly as she walked right through the field.
"I'm out," she said. "Whoo-hoo!"
