Before we start, a reply to guest reviewers:

Justin (From Steven Universe – Dimensional Butterfly): Look, I know what you mean. A lot of people were shocked at Chapter 8, saying that the gems reactions were insane and out-of-character. Also because that Star was also a little out-of-character in the story. I do realize this, and I have a few reasons why I wrote this intentionally:

1. Well, what do you want them to do? Try to kill a child? That's even more out of character than trying to do what's best for Steven.

2. If they did try to kill her, then "Say Uncle" (another Steven Universe episode) should be canon in order for the character to work.

3. Obviously, they would regret the decision later on. It's obviously not the last Steven sees of Star. Besides, they would do stuff like this to people they don't know or understand.

4. Hey, Star should have other feelings than just being silly, fun-loving and energetic. I tried my best to balance both her optimistic personality and her seriousness. If she was only silly, she would be flanderized to the point of being annoying.

5. It was only just a few weeks ever since I first watched SVTFOE. (I first watched May 7.), so I didn't really know a lot about the characters until I began watching the episodes again and again.

But I understand what you mean. Dimensional Butterfly was sort of meant to be a little experiment to try and shape the characters around a little bit. However, I sorta regret being a little too mean-spirited and gloomy.

SHOOTINGSTAR15: What do you mean by "She'll might ask what happened around Beach City?"

Now, onto the story.

The group was still going through the maze. They went through every nook and cranny they could find, just so that they could find Bill and bring him to justice. While walking, they hear another sound. Garnet immediately stops to listen to the noise.

"That noise sounds familiar. It's almost like…" as Pearl was about to finish, Garnet interrupts her.

"There's fusion monsters nearby!" she exclaimed. And she was right. Two fusion monsters came from somewhere in the maze and fell down right in front of them. They were about the size of Garnet and had multiple large hands.

"EVERYONE, GET BACK!" Garnet exclaimed. She ran to the monsters, and repeatedly punched them again and again. The monsters didn't seem to care, and they didn't feel anything at all. The monsters then grabbed Garnet and were about to crush her with their giant hands.

"Garnet!" shouted the group. As the group ran to them, Star and Steven got out their wand and shield, respectively and were prepared to defeat the monster.

"You ready to fight, big sis?" said Steven.

"Way ahead of you, little bro!" said Star. "POISON CRYSTAL CUPCAKE KISS!" she exclaimed. What came out of the wand were cupcakes that were made of crystals. The cupcakes hit one of the monsters, letting go of Garnet, and turned into a gem. The gem falls down to the ground.

The other fusion monster then ran to the group.

"Steven, I need some help here!" said Star. Steven runs right in front of her and the group, and uses his shield to protect the group from the monster.

"NOW, STAR!" exclaimed Steven.

"SYRUP TSUNAMI SHOCKWAVE!" exclaimed Star, shooting giant waffles and syrup right in front of the monster. After being hit, the monster also turns into a gem and falls down to the ground.

Garnet goes to the two gems and bubbles them.

"Alright, we got rid of those two monsters. Now, we have to get going and…" Garnet stopped to see the group looking at something. She looks at where the group is looking, and what they see is Star's magic mirror floating in the air.

"W-What's your magic mirror doing in the air?!" said Marco.

Bill then called the group through the magic mirror, with an impressed look in his face. "Well, well, well, I'm actually impressed. You got through my two fusion monsters." said Bill. "But the worst is yet to come."

"YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP THIS NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS!" exclaimed Steven.

"Or can I? And I see you met Azurite." said Bill. Azurite had a look of anger in her eyes. She just wanted to break every part of Bill's face for what he did.

"If we ever get to you, I'm gonna break every single part of your face!" she exclaimed.

"Pfff…yeah, right. You're just as crazy as that weird mom of Shortman!" said Bill, showing to the group a picture of Steven's mom, being shown in Bill's body. Steven looks down, hurt. "Anyway, you are getting pretty close to the end, but still far away. See ya, suckers!"

Bill stopped the call and the magic mirror flew up and away. Star notices Steven again, looking more hurt than ever.

"So…that's what your mom looks like?" asked Star.

"Yeah…" said Steven, crying a little softly. "She…she can't be how Bill is describing her…she can't be a weirdo…she can't be a crazy person…" Star tries to wipe off his tears.

"Steven…your mother is…lovely…she can't be weird…she has to be amazing." said Star, trying to cheer Steven up. The Crystal Gems walk to the group, feeling sorry for Steven.

"Of course she's amazing, Star." said Pearl. "She was strong, brave, kind and funny…and she was beautiful."

"Just like you, Star." said Marco, wanting to bring that up. Both Star and Marco blush, and the red in their cheeks were a little noticeable. Everyone looked at them in awe.

"Aww…you're blushing." said Steven to Star and Marco, chuckling a little bit. "I thought you liked Oskar, Star…and I thought you liked Jackie, Marco."

"We used to…but not anymore." said Marco.

"Yeah…we like each other now…" said Star.

"How did it all happen?" asked Steven, interested to see how their feelings changed. But as the two were about to say their story, everybody hears a nearby sound coming.

"Is that another monster, Garnet?" asked Pearl.

"Nope. It doesn't seem to be a monster." said Garnet. "But we should check it out."

The group slowly walked to the noise. As they walked closer and closer, the noise sounded awfully familiar to the Crystal Gems. When they finally got to the noise, they were surprised to see the figure walking around the maze.

"Alright. It's not around this area. Guess I'd better check the other side of this place." said the voice. When the figure turned around, the figure almost fell down from shock.

"PERIDOT! So there you are!" exclaimed Pearl.

"We've been looking for you all over this dimension…sorta!" said Amethyst.

"Oh, it's you clods again!" said Peridot, angry. "You're really gonna have it this time! I'm gonna blast you with one of my new weapons!" she got out a giant machine which looked like a ray gun. "And this time, you're not gonna…"

"WAIT!" exclaimed Ludo, running to the front of the Crystal Gems. "DON'T SHOOT! DON'T SHOOT!"

"And why is that, Ludo?" asked Peridot, confused.

"Oh, thank goodness, you actually remembered my name. But anyway, don't shoot! We need to turn this place back to normal!"

"What do you mean?"

"This is Star's neighborhood! That triangle named Bill, do you remember him?"

"Yeah…"

"He turned this place into a mess, and we need to turn this place back to normal!"

However, Peridot didn't seem to believe him.

"Right…and I should believe you because…" she was wondering if Ludo had any proof whatsoever.

"If you don't, he will destroy both our dimensions!" exclaimed Star. Peridot still didn't believe them.

"Nope, I still won't believe that." said Peridot. "I don't have time for these shenanigans! I got a job to do!" she tried to run away, but the group began chasing her.

"STOP RIGHT NOW!" exclaimed Garnet.

The group got closer and closer as Peridot was struggling to flee from them. But then, an idea popped into her head. She turned her arm into a helicopter and now, she was flying away. The group just stared at her while she was fleeing.

"Later, clods!" she exclaimed.

"Not on my watch." said Azurite. She spawned two swords out of her gem, and she began running to Peridot quickly with her fast feet. When she got near Peridot, she jumped up and was about to slash at Peridot's helicopter when all of a sudden, her helicopter stops working. Peridot falls to the ground, as Azurite lands down safely and the group follows the two.

"What?! How did my helicopter stop working?!" she yelled.

"No flying in this maze. It's cheating." said a voice.

"Who…who said that?!" exclaimed Peridot, getting up. The magic mirror came down in front of them, and Bill was on the line.

"I said, no flying in this maze. It's cheating." said Bill.

"Oh, it is you! Ludo was right!" exclaimed Peridot.

"Yep, and I just want to say…later, clods!" said Bill, mimicking Peridot. The magic mirror went up again.

"Hey, that's my line! He doesn't deserve to say that!" exclaimed Peridot.

"I've been trying to tell you! Bill is behind all this!" said Ludo.

"You know what? Just this once, I'll be on your side. JUST THIS ONCE!" Peridot didn't want to join the team, but she wanted her helicopter back.

"Okay." said Garnet. "Now let's get moving."

The group now continued on in the maze, hoping that they can find Bill as soon as possible.

Little did they know, that they're in for a big surprise.

Eh…this is starting to turn into a mess, due to the slight repetition of the story, I guess. In the meantime, this might be on a hiatus, so that I can focus on the story and writing rather than the schedule.

In the meantime, you can give suggestions that I can probably use for the last 4 chapters. Also, yeah, this takes place a bit after Marco's Mistake.

What did you think of this one? I'll see you all in the next chapter.
