I don't own Steven Universe. I'm just a kid with an imagination and a computer.

-Pearl's POV-

Okay, this is fine. I just have to stand here and guard the gem room. Nothing to worry about. Nope, nope, nope... EXCEPT THAT IF I FAIL ALL OF THE GEM ARTIFACTS COULD BE FREE TO DESTROY THE HUMANS AND ALL OF EARTH!

"Pearl? Are you okay?" Okay, calm down. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. In, out, in, out. Okay... now that I'm calm.

"Y-Yes Steven. I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. Do you want to talk? Would it make you feel better?" Steven may not have mastered his gem's power yet, but he definitely had a heart of gold.

"Okay then. What do you want to talk about?"

"Who was my mom's sister? You mentioned that she died but you never told me anything else, like her name?" I had to fight back the urge to face palm. Of all the things Steven had to ask me about, why this? What would I even say? Ugh, I hope Garnet and Amethyst are doing okay.

-Amethyst's POV-

Blackness. Darkness. Unconsciousness.

-Unknown POV-

I'm upside down, in a rock tunnel. Eh, not the weirdest thing that's happened to me. Okay, gravity seems to have gone back to normal. And now for a series of floating plate forms. Okay, leap and land. This would be a lot easier if I was in my own form. Or if I wasn't holding a whip in my right hand. Or if this intruder didn't have such a low center of gravity. Okay, about fourteen more jumps and I'm out of here. Why did I have to get an intruder with short legs?!

-Garnet's POV-

Nothing in corridor twelve or rooms 12-A though 12-E. Moving onto the Crystal Heart. As I enter the room containing the crystalline organ I see a short figure entering opposite me. At first glance, this is Amethyst. At second glance I can tell its not. "Amethyst" is missing her gem, carrying her whip in a loop, and is looking a too serious. The impostor has noticed me and reconstructed a new demeanor closer to that of Amethyst's. I must play it cool until we are farther from the Crystal Heart.

"Amethyst, anything to report." She looked confused for a split second before responding.

"Uh, no? Do I look like I was in a fight?" I must give this look-alike credit, she quickly assumed a very Amethyst way of acting.

"Good, lets move on to the south wing."

"'Kay." This copy still thought she had fooled me. Good, must keep this up.

-Unknown POV-

I haven't fooled this intruder. Unfortunately, I can't attack now. In this form I don't have my additional powers, and this intruder in the red and black body suit is twice my size! My best course of action is to remain on high alert until she chooses to strike. If I attack first then my current stature will leave me at a huge disadvantage. I think I'll take my chances with a defensive start.

However she thinks that I think I'm fooling her. This means that she thinks she'll be able surprise me with an attack. This means that a surprise attack won't be as strong as a regular attack. And my fore site gives me the advantage, when she moves to surprise I'll be ready and one step closer to victory.

-Garnet's POV-

We are now far enough from the heart to be safe. This corridor may be a slightly enclosed space, but it'll be harder for the intruder to escape. I attempted to quietly form my gauntlets and prepared to turn and strike.

-Unknown POV-

Who does she think she's fooling? I know she's hoping to trap me in an enclosed space. I also heard her form her weapon, and I saw her begin to turn around. I quickly snapped the whip in my hand up while sliding forward on my knees. As she turned and threw a gauntlet covered fist she had missed me completely and her hand got caught in the whip. The force of her punch and my slide sent her over me and I released the whip's energy. Now my enemy was down for a few seconds. The whip I'd been carrying had dissolved and returned to its owner.

I morphed back into my own form, man it felt good to have my height and cloak back! My opponent rose from the ground as I formed a round shield on my right arm. She threw another punch and I blocked it. I fixed my stance as she continued to throw punch after punch. She was really strong, I had almost fallen a few times. Time to change my approach.

I threw my shield at her head and she easily dodged it. I rapidly formed a set of tessens with white handles, light purple fans and silver blades. My shield bounced off the walls a few times, before dissolving behind my opponent as she threw more punches that I blocked. Next I closed both fans to leap at my enemy. She threw a punch that should have been too complex to bypass, but I carefully flew through it with ease. I used my fans to throw her hand apart after the next punch and then kicked her down on the chest.

Or at least I tried to. She slid like I had earlier and I sailed over her before turning and landing on the ground.

-Garnet's POV-

This is a powerful adversary, but I saw that kick coming. After I slid under her I reacted over to a vein connecting to the Crystal Heart. I couldn't have sent a message to Pearl and Steven earlier. I would have alerted the enemy. As I sent out my message I heard a slight chuckling behind me.

I turned to face my opponent and realized why she was laughing. When she'd throw her shield earlier it had hit and severed the vein I was using's path to the Crystal Heart. My message hadn't gone through. I was stuck in a small space, my connections were severed, and my opponent had know all along what I was doing. I was trapped, in my own trap.

The hooded figure changed her tessens into daggers and ran at me. We began a locked combat. She and I both threw well planned blows, but were also equally well dodging. Suddenly, she got rid of her daggers and began to fight me with hand to hand combat. I had the advantage, I was wearing battle gauntlets while all she had were fancy white gloves, each set with a light purple quartz crystal. I threw a punch, but she caught my hand. I threw my other fist but she caught that as well.

I'm probably stronger than her, so I began trying to push her over. I had almost succeeded when the gems on her gloves began to glow a bit and suddenly she put on an immense amount of strength. She stood up more until we were both pushing with all of our might to knock to other over. The gems on her gloves glowed brighter, and her gloves started to glow a bit themselves, as she became stronger and stronger. Finally it was to much to bear and I was thrown down.

-Unknown POV-

That was a really hard arm wrestling match. I'm lucky that I was able to send my crystal's energy into my hands for extra strength. Now I need to stop her quickly for good before we could restart that battle all over again. A few quick hits to certain nerve endings around her body left a second enemy unconscious and immobilized.

I dragged her body to another room and continued along back to that room with a giant heart in it. Should I have taken on the form of the red gemed intruder? Probably, but I am not moving through this temple in another body again. It's honestly just to complex. All I need to do now is find the gem room and knock out the rest of the intruders. Then all of the gems will be safe and I can try to figure out what happened to the guardians.

Sorry for not updating as quickly as with the other chapters, I had to sleep because it was late after uploading chapter 4. Thanks for all the reviews I've gotten! :)
