As Rose ran in to fight all she could think about was protecting her son. She became even more angry when she thought about Steven getting hurt from Jasper. She found a new feeling she had never really felt before, anger. It was very visible and everyone could see it. Greg nor the gems had ever seen her like this, not even during the war. She knew she needed to take down Jasper so Steven would be safe. Rose was determined to bring down the 'beefy' gem that she had once barely defeated. The other gems knew they wouldn't have to fight this one.

As they started to fight Jasper tried to hit her with her helmet several times but blocked Rose blocked it with her sword. It took a lot of their strength when they did this but it wasn't about to stop Rose nor Jasper. Jasper saw an opening as Rose backed up in the sand after fighting off her the first time and Rose lost her balance some. Jasper took the opening and ran after her. She hit Rose in the stomach right on her gem. Rose slid back wards but quickly recovered and pulled out her shield ready for another attack. Jasper tried to hit her a few more times but failed as Rose used her sword to fight her off. Rose sent her tumbling the last time Jasper tried to hit her. Rose tried to take to take advantage that Jasper was on the ground and she took her sword and tried to hit her but jasper dodged it and rolled several times to get away from Rose's attacks. Jasper got up and franticly looked for some kind of weapon but sure enough there was none. Jasper was confused and weakened. Rose saw this and took the opportunity . Jasper quickly activated her helmet and blocked Roses sword and tried to hit Rose but she had her shield. When Jasper hit the shield with her head it started to hurt and her vision was blurred for a short time. Rose saw an easy opportunity to defeat Jasper for good. Rose thrust the sword into Jasper and Jasper fell to the ground. breathing heavily, staring at her wound.

"I... just have one... question, how did... you get so brutal all of... a sudden?" Jasper spat out gasping.

"You should have NEVER messed with my son!" Rose quickly replied.

For the first time she didn't feel sorry for an injured gem. Jasper stared up at her before a cloud was seen covering Jasper and a small gem lay on the ground. Rose gladly bubbled the orange gem. When Rose finally turned around everyone was staring at her in amazement.

"What is it." the usual calm happy Rose said.

"Woah." Amethyst said in amazement.

Rose smiled but didn't know what to say. Rose headed back to her friends who had no idea what to say.

"Why is it so silent over here?" Rose teased.

"How did you do that!?" Pearl questioned

Rose smiled " I did it for love, that's how."

"You... you just took down Jasper!" Lapis said feeling set free from Malachite.

Rose smiled and bent down to her size. "Lapis, do you want to be a Crystal gem? I know you don't want to be imprisoned again."

Lapis looked up at the other gems who smiled at her respecting Rose's offer. Rose put her hand on Lapis shoulder and looked right in her eyes.

"No one here is going to hurt you. The homeworld will. You make the decision stay with us, go to homeworld or walk the earth alone. It's all up to you though."

Lapis smiled and hugged Rose. She thought she would never meet anyone that was like Steven but Rose and Steven were just simply amazing. "Yes, I want to be a Crystal gem."

The gems clapped and welcomed her into their team but on the inside they were questioning it. They thought that Lapis didn't need to be there but they needed to respect Rose's choices. That's how they all got here was because of Rose's choice to let them stay. They walked back to the house and when they got up to the house Rose kissed Greg happy to see him. She hugged Pearl and patted Amethyst on the head. She gave Garnet a little squeeze and when Lapis went in she was welcomed with open arms. For now everything was calm, for now there was peace, for now everyone was happy.
