"STEVEN!" Garnet yelled out the ship while helplessly reaching out.

She sank down to her knees. Her face was covered in tears, looking up at the sky where the ship left. Steven, her cutie pie, the one who gave lifted the crystal gem's spirits was gone. Taken by blue diamond and probably to pink diamond's zoo.

"I could have done something. I should have told him what my future vision foretold. None of this would be happening right now."

Garnet began sobbing.

"I've failed you Rose. I failed as a leader."

In the meantime on earth

"STEVEN, STEVEN. CMON BUDDY, WHERE ARE YOU?

Greg was busy looking for steven after getting separated from him. He told steven to go look for whatever he was searching while he went to go look for a restroom. After going to an acupuncture clinic to use the bathroom, he began looking for steven.

"Oh I knew I should have told him to wait where the bus left us."

After going through some bushes, greg was amazed at the sight of a humongous palanquin. As he began walking forward, he noticed someone sitting on their knees. That's when he realized that someone was garnet.

"Garnet, what are you doing here?"

Garnet immediately looked at greg and stood up and faced him.

"Greg, you need to sit down when you hear this."

"Why?"

"It concerns Steven"

"WHAT!? What do you mean! Where is he?!"

"Steven was … He was.."

Garnet was having trouble saying what happened. Fresh tears started going down her face.

"HE WAS WHAT?!"

"HE'S BEEN TAKEN BY BLUE DIAMOND AND INTO SPACE!"

That hit Greg harder than his wife's death. His son, his pride and joy, his only connection to rose was gone.

He then grabbed Garnet by the shoulders. "no, no no, NO, NO! YOUR JOKING RIGHT? CMON STEVEN, THE JOKE'S OVER NOW!

Greg frantically looked around to no avail.

"I wish I was joking greg. I really do."

Greg had fresh tears going down his face. He brought his head to garnet's chest and starting crying. Never has Garnet seen Greg like this before, not even when Rose died.

"That's it then. My son is going to die in space and I'll die not knowing what happened to him.

"no"

Greg looked up at Garnet

"huh?"

"We are getting steven back"

"But how?"

"Using a ruby ship"

Both greg and garnet walked to the nearby warp pad and teleported to the temple. Pearl and Amethyst were in the temple doing their own business. Pearl was cleaning while Amethyst was busy making a sandwich. When they saw greg and garnet teleporting in without steven, there panic meters went from 0 to 100. Pearl was the first to ask.

"WHERE'S STEVEN?!

"He was taken by blue diamond into space."

Pearl immediately broke down. Her hair lost her pointy shape and sank to her knees. She was hyperventilating really bad.

"I FAILED YOU ROSE! I COULDN'T PROTECT MY BABY! I FAILED HIM!"

Amethyst then targeted Garnet.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT GARNET! IF YOU JUST TOLD US WHAT YOUR FUTURE VISION TOLD YOU, HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO KOREA!"

Greg looked at Amethyst in shock.

"What are you talking about Amethyst?!"

"When Garnet told steven he couldn't go to korea, he asked her why. All she told him was that she couldn't face her. He kept asking her but she refused to say anything else."

Greg's face was flushed in anger as he faced Garnet.

"YOU KNEW BLUE DIAMOND WOULD BE AT THE PALANQUIN AND YOU NEVER TOLD US!

"Greg it was a possibility! There were a hundred other possibilities that could have happened! I didn't know this would happen.

"You know what, it would have been nice to know! My son would still be here, safe and sound!"

"ENOUGH!"

Garnet, Greg and Amethyst all looked at Pearl in shock.

"All this arguing is getting us nowhere. We need to figure out a plan on rescuing steven."

"P's right you guys. Steven wouldn't want us to fall apart like this. He needs us now more than ever."

They all looked at each other and nodded. Greg then spoke up.

"What do we do?"

"We use the ruby's ship that we took from them."

"Well, where is it?"

"At the barn where Lapis and Peridot are keeping it in safe keeping."

"Uh guys, how are they going to react to the news?"

Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst looked at each other with uneasiness.

"Peridot will probably take it well but Lapis…"

"I'll go with you guys, try to explain to her that this wasn't your guy's fault."

"Okay, let's go."

As greg opened the door, he was soon met by steven's friend Connie.

"Mr Universe, back so soon from korea?" Wait, is steven here, I want to know if he found what he was looking for."

All 3 gems and greg looked at her with uneasiness. Amethyst spoke to Connie first.

"Connie… how can I explain this in a way without upsetting you?"

"What do you mean?" Connie said in a confused face.

"You see Connie, after steven got separated from greg, he found what he was looking for. But…."

"But what? Where's steven?" Connie was getting more worried by the second.

"Steven was found by Blue Diamond and he was taken up into space."

Connie stared at Amethyst with wide eyes. She was slowly starting to have a panic attack. Steven, her only friend that understood her, was taken away from her.

"THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! IF I HADN'T SHOWN HIM THE BOOK, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING!

Greg then grabbed Connie by the shoulders and faced her in the eye.

"CONNIE! Listen to me! None of this is your fault. You had no idea this was going to happen."

"But he's gone forever. He's never coming h-"

"He won't be gone forever. We're going up to space in a spaceship. It's at the barn.

"Let me go with you!"

"Connie no. It's too dangerous."

"Please! I have to save him! He's my only friend in the world and I have a duty to protect him.

Pearl looked at her pupil in amazement. She was astonished that Connie would risk everything to save steven. But there was the problem with her parents.

"Connie, even if we did allow you to come, your parents would never allow it."

Connie looked at Pearl with tear filled red eyes but then had an idea.

"Mr Universe, could you tell my parents where I am after we leave?"

"WHAT? Now see here connie, that's pushing the-"

"It's to save your son Mr. Universe!"

Greg looked at Connie's pleading eyes and thought about it for a moment.

"uhh this is going to bite me in the butt later… oh all right then"

Connie then hugged greg in a tight squeeze.

"I promise you Mr. Universe, we'll get steven back no matter what."

Greg stared at Connie with tears coming out and a small smile.

Pearl then spoke up, "Cmon everyone, lets get to the barn"

Next chapter, we'll see steven connect with the other amethysts after he gets hurt.
