ok thank you for waiting for me idk what is really going on lately everything has been confusing. I have also had writers block and have been thinking and thinking about this chapter. I know what the next chapter is going to be but I really had to think with this one. We also had a family friend pass and I went to the funeral today.

They watched the water intensely as it crashed against the temple. Fiercer than any of them had ever seen.

"We have had hurricanes here before but nothing like this!" Pearl started to panic. "I've NEVER seen anything like this!"

"It's going to be okay Pearl." Rose softly spoke trying to comfort the panicked pale gem.

Pearl walked closer to Rose. They all did. Each one of the gem grew closer to Rose as they became worried about what was going to come out of the fighting waters. Rose was comforting to them. She always waited for almost an hour before the water receded back to where it always is and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think Lapis gained control." Garnet whispered.

Greg quickly drove up to the temple to make sure everyone was alright.

"Is everyone alright? What was going on." No one answered him. They just stood smiling glad it all might be over for a small amount of time. They could hear the water returning back to it's normal position.

Rose broke the silence. "Everyone is fine. I think it's all over for now." She looked at Garnet who was about to speak but was interrupted by a shout coming from the water.

"STEVEN!"

All of the gems stared at the water with anticipation. They suddenly saw a gem weakly crawling out of the water. She stood up and tried to run to the temple but failed.

"Lapis Lazuli!" Garnet yelled jumping from her spot along with the other gems except Rose who gently floated down then ran toward the blue gem.

"What are you doing here and where is Jasper!?" Garnet demanded as they pulled out their weapons.

"Where's Steven!?" Lapis chocked out.

"That's none of your busine..." Garnet was interrupted by Rose who came running to the clearly severely injured gem.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked holding the gem up while the others blushed and put away their weapons.

"No! Where is Steven! I need to..." She then saw the Rose Quartz gem that Steven had and confusedly and worriedly glared at Rose. Rose saw she was confused.

"Steven got hurt and he had to heal and he wanted me to come out for a short time." Lapis calmed down after Rose said this knowing he was alright.

"Good." She sighed trying to stand on her own. "But you need to watch out! She is coming! She is coming for YOU! And if she gets to you... I don't want Steven to get hurt!" Lapis started to cry.

"It's okay now." Rose said as she healed Lapis. "Come inside with us and rest. You need it."

" But Rose! She tried to destroy us and Steven."

"But Pearl, I know how much Steven cares for her. She also needs our help besides she has been helping you by holding down Malachite. She deserves staying with us." Rose spoke as she helped Lapis up.

"I don't need any help." Lapis said looking away from them. Rose let go of Lapis as Amethyst came running up.

"You can carry me though." Amethyst said holding her hands up to Rose who smiled and picked her up laughing.

After they started to walk up to the temple except Amethyst who was being held. They though it was over for the moment but they had already been proven wrong.

"Where's those stupid gem rebels!" They heard the rough voice shouting from the water. They turned around to see a slightly weak Jasper furiously storming out of the waist deep water.

"Jasper!" All the gems yelled as they saw Jasper rushing out of the water. Jasper saw Rose Quartz standing among the gems.

"Rose Quartz!" Jasper yelled. I've been waiting to crush you." Jasper yelled snarling.

Rose knew this gem, she fraught against her in the gem war. This time though fighting this gem would be more personal. The huge gem had hurt her son, she imprisoned her son and even worse than all she tried to kill HER SON! "This means war." Rose thought as she called lion to get her sword. She took her sword from lion's mane while Jasper prepared to fight with her helmet. They stared at eachother for a moment waiting for the other to make the first move studying the other's potential movements. Finally Jasper ran after Rose head down ready for attack. Rose griped her sword for a counter attacked running in Jasper's direction, both ready to fight. Both of them wanted to destroy each other. Rose felt a hate toward Jasper now this was something Rose was unfamiliar with but she wasn't going to sit around and not protect her beloved Steven. Jasper could still feel the pain of losing the gem war to Rose. Yellow Diamond had downgraded her from second in command to a stupid general and it was all Rose's fault. If she would have went about her own business and let the gems use the kindergartens Everything would have been fine but they had to mess things up! Both of them had something to fight for although one was more important than the other.
