Before starting, a reply to some guest reviewers:

Guest: She still doesn't have a lot of Earth knowledge at the moment. (Idea based on an upcoming episode: The Banagic Incident.)

Ethan the Jester: Actually, I was planning to use Malachite, but probably with a big twist or something so that the audience is still surprised.

Onto the story.


The four continued travelling around the place, looking for the end of the maze to stop Bill. But of course, it wasn't easy. Steven, Star, Connie and Marco were completely confused by the whole labyrinth thing, and they were afraid they could get lost or something, but they still trudged on, as they wanted everything back to normal.

"Steven, I think we're gonna get lost soon if we don't have any hints in this maze!" said Connie, starting to worry. "A-and if we get lost, I don't know if my parents are…are…" but Steven interrupts her.

"Connie, this is not the time to worry. We can do this." said Steven. As he was running, he eventually bumps into someone, and falls back a little bit. Star, Marco and Connie looked surprised to see who the person was, and Steven also had as much surprise and confusion as the other three were.

"G-G-Garnet?" said Steven. Yep, it was Garnet. She was in this dimension for some reason, and she clearly had no surprise at all when she met the four.

"Howdy." said Garnet.

"What…What are you doing here, Garnet?" said Star with confusion.

"I'm looking for Peridot."

"But she can't be in this dimension…can she?" asked Steven, getting up.

"I located her with my Future-Vision, and Peridot is in this dimension. She's apparently looking for something important."

"Like what?" asked Connie.

"I don't know. But she's apparently looked in a lot of other dimensions at this point, and now she's looking around this upside-down place."

"That was Bill, that triangle demon that caused this! Do you remember him?" asked Star.

"Of course I do. And he's already at the end of the maze."

"Well, can you help us get to the end, Garnet? We need to change everything back to normal." said Steven.

"Sure." said Garnet. She turned to the other side. "Pearl! Amethyst!" she exclaimed. Pearl and Amethyst ran to the group from some part of the maze, and Pearl looked definitely surprised when she saw the group.

"W-What? What are you doing here, guys?" said Pearl, looking surprised.

"What are YOU doing here? This is Star's neighborhood!" exclaimed Steven.

"What? This looked nothing like her neighborhood the last time we came here." exclaimed Pearl with complete confusion. Steven explained to the Crystal Gems on what happened.

"Oh, it's that triangle head again, isn't it?" said Pearl. Steven, Star, Connie and Marco nod slowly. "Well, now we have two problems. Now we gotta find Peridot AND Triangle-Head at the same time."

"This is gonna get a little weird." said Amethyst.

"This is gonna get a little wild." said Pearl.

"Well, there's no point standing here. We gotta do what we're supposed to do." said Garnet.

The group finally continued on in the maze, hoping that they can finish both problems at the moment. But at the meantime, some monsters were gonna follow them.


Ludo's Dimension:

Ludo was just sitting in his throne, licking his ice cream. The monsters were just doing their fun stuff, betting for one monster to wrestle over the other. Ludo and his newest minion, Toffee, were happily watching the match between the two-headed monster and some chicken monster.

"Boy, this monster fight is actually kinda fun to watch, isn't it?" asked Ludo to Toffee.

"Indeed. I am actually surprised that these lieges know how to win over one another, but they always seem to lose over Star." Toffee smirked.

"Speaking of Star…" said Ludo to himself. He then called the attention of the monsters. "HEY MONSTERS! I think it's time for us to get the wand." The monsters stop fighting and walk to Ludo.

"But we were having so much fun wrestling!" said the two-headed monster.

"You can apply that wrestling of yours to fight Star!" said Ludo, cutting open a portal to Star's upside-down neighborhood.


Star's Neighborhood:

The group were still continuing on with the maze. They suddenly stop to see a portal right in front of them. Out of the portal came Ludo and his monsters. Ludo, as usual, had his classic evil grin, as the Crystal Gems ran to the front to protect Steven, Star, Connie and Marco.

"At last! We meet again, Star Butterfly!" said Ludo, still grinning.

"LUDO! What are you doing here?!" exclaimed Star.

"Hehehe. Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Yes. That's why I asked." she said, nodding. Ludo facepalms himself.

"Ugh! I don't have time for jokes. JUST HAND OVER THE WAND OR I'LL DESTROY THIS…" Ludo stops to see what happened to the neighborhood. He and his monsters look around to find everything twisted, turned and upside-down. "Wha-what the heck happened here?!"

"It's Bill again." said Steven.

"Oh, dear. Not that backstabbing triangle again." said Ludo. He and his monsters groan. They already hated Bill ever since he betrayed them. Now that he's up to his tricks again, Ludo didn't feel like attacking. "Well, I guess we shouldn't attack today. Perhaps we should…"

"Join you? Sure." said Garnet, finishing his sentence. Ludo looks at her in surprise. "I-is this tall girl a mind-reader or something?" said Ludo.

"Well, yeah. Technically, she is a mind-reader." said Pearl. The monsters shiver a little bit, as they now know that they can't betray the group or else Garnet will know.

"Okay, okay, okay. We will join your group just to stop Bill! I wanted to say that just to get the wand, but with this tall person, I can't!" said Ludo. The group chuckled at this. There was no way for Ludo and the monsters to betray them. "Let's just join."

He and his monsters reluctantly join the group.

"Now that we got a bigger group, we can probably defeat Bill and…the female he was talking about!" exclaimed Star.

"We're coming for you, One-Eyed Dorito!" exclaimed Steven.

The group continues on through the maze, determined to put an end to Bill's tricks.


Well, that's the end of Chapter 4. The next chapter will include the requested OC, Azurite. What did you think of this one? I'll see you all in the next chapter.
