Bismuth expected incinerators and rejuvenators but gas attack and crazy driven humans? That's a surprise. Someone definitely gave them new ideas.
She begins to worry what else they have in store, they must understand simply raiding the palace won't do. So gotta expect some more outlawed weapons from era 1 and 2.
All while simultaneously trying to keep Sabina safe because right now she's acting rather aggressively, Kevin tried to help but unfortunately he got handled quickly. He even spit some blood after he was hit.
Sabina wasn't exactly herself now, looks like chemicals are taking effect. Her eyes were now with yellow pupils.
She got somewhat stronger though if she managed to make Bismuth struggle. Not enough to beat her though.
The others aren't much help either as those who've been gassed also start causing mayhem with others trying to calm them down and Smokes around are complicating things.
Can't see from where attacks come from.
And that's exactly what happened as something exploded behind her, Sabina got away somewhere and Bismuth looked to see some robots targeting her with projectiles and lasers not to mention using their mass to crush her..
Then there is a sudden tremor felt around her as she hears a loud banging coming from certain direction, she didn't like the sound of that so she ran passed the robots grabbing whoever she could find before a big piece of rock rammed through the halls, taking out the robots. She really hoped Sabina made it out of the way...
A team telephone conversation
Amethyst – Pearl! How is it where you are?!
Pearl – Amethyst no need to scream! And it's manageable for now! Is it stable on your end?
Amethyst – Well, I trying to calm people around here! This smoke stuff apparently given them bad taste! Plus some gems started attacking us too! And they are using cool machine guns!
Pearl – Firearms!? So they are not necessarily trying to capture us!
In times like these, cellphones are quite useful.
Peridot – Those turncoat clods ! Squaridot just turned on me! And lazulis indiscriminately target humans and us!And many lazulis just flipped sides!
Lapis – We are outnumbered but never outclassed! For now, we should find those in charge of this attack! By the way have any of you found Steven?!
Bismuth – Everyone! This is Bismuth! There is no big chunk of a building crashing into the ballrooms! Be careful and get the stars out of there ASAP! Grab as much people as you can!
Peridot – What?
Peridot dodges a debris Squaridot throws at her as she directed it back at her.
A tremor is felt around her as Peridot sees a something like a big wall coming to where she was.
Peridot – HOLY SMOKES!
Regina launches multiple swords and shards of water balloons Black Quartz (Jasper/Steven Fusion Sassper ).
BQ forms a spiked bubble around them as they rolled ahead at them.
Regina formed an army of water gems swarming them but BQ then produced pink flames out of her hands and snuffed out many of them.
Aquamarine then flies multiple swords and shards of her own while BQ is distracted only to be met with Jasper's crash helmet.
BQ – What a pathetic display! Are you even trying to beat me?!
BQ starts spinning and dashing at Aquamarine mid-air while Regina throws water saws at BQ who jumped away temporarily floating in the air where they are caught in Regina's hold.
One of Aquamarines swords pierced their shoulder causing them to screech.
The two smirked at that
Aquamarine – What is it? No longer arrogant, both of you?
Regina – This is for stealing my Lapis!
She began squeezing the hold around BQ adding spikes there.
BQ then glows pink as she burst out of her grip and comet charges at the two grabbing them by the throat and by the leg, dragging them across the halls.
On the way BQ crashes into Rubies searching for Spinel.
Aby – Incoming!!
Rubies end up on top of BQ who couldn't see where they go as they then eventually collide at the ball decorations where the diamonds were fighting in.
Zircons might be tough in the court room but they just needed tougher decorators in their decorum. But now is not the time for this!
Nora – Phew oh well at least that green smoke was blown away... wait is that?
BQ then gets off of her as she looks for Regina and Aquamarine.
BQ – Well, just great Rubies! Thanks to you, I've lost them now!
Tuby – Jasper? Good to see you, have you seen Spinel!?
Saby – Someone took her away!
BQ – YOU'VE LOST SPINEL!?
BQ then clapped their four hands to blow away all smoke to see clearly.
They had to find Aquamarine immediately then, even more now if Spinel was taken!
Some gassed Zoomans began jumping onto her for some reason.
BQ – Wha? Hey what are you doing?! I'm on your side here!!
Yellow Diamond – Steven Is that you there?!
BQ tries to get them off while also looking at Yellow fighting Blue.
BQ – You can say that! But why is Blue onto you!?
Yellow – She was hit by rejuvenator! But I don't know why she isn't responding, this isn't how rejuvenator normally works!
BQ – Well wait for me, I'll give ya' a hand!
Rubies helped how they could to neutralise uncontrollable zoomans who were screaming at them.
Aby – AGH! NO NEED TO SCREECH HE-
She then sees a blue beam at a distance.
Aby – Hey something's shining towards us!
BQ and Rubies in unison only to be frozen in place, unable to move an inch along with humans nearby.
It was Aquamarine! This time with that very wand she had when she forced Steven to go with her to Homeworld for the first time. It held them all in place!
Aquamarine – Ah a a ah! I think you wasted enough of our time, right?
Regina was approaching BQ with destabilizer her hand.
She smiled when activating it "Who's pitiful now?"
She then plunges it in Black Quartz who only could scream and roar as they slowly disintegrated, unfurling Steven from Jasper.
Aquamarine unfreezes them afterwards "Hmph finally done, ouh who do we see?"
Aquamarine then looks to see Yellow and Blue Diamonds face off with Blue seemingly rejuvenated.
And White Diamond herself being a bit preoccupied with red sapphire trying to rejuvenate her as well.
Aquamarine – Hmm where should I step in?
Regina – Do what you want. I'll go find Lapis.
Aquamarine – Good idea, the more we take from them the weaker they'll be...
Strangely Aquamarine feels a bit sad at her words, she isn't sure why though. And frankly doesn't care at the moment as she tries to pick where to go from here.
She notices Steven is crawling away to the diamonds.
Aquamarine – Where do you think you're going?
Rubies had different ideas. Throwing a rock at her for example, that grabbed her attention.
Aby – Hey you! You seem to be their leader! Where is our Spinel!
Aquamarine (Ruby part) – Oh? A Ruby squad you call yourself and you couldn't even protect your assignment, let alone a spinel!
Rubies then took each other's hands "Maybe! But we're gonna get her back!"
They formed a much bigger Ruby as the fight either Aquamarine is on.
Steven feels bad, very bad...
Physically and emotionally...
He wants to help now that everyone really does need him... but even now he can't do it properly...
Nora – Steven! It's really you! C'mon here!
Noda helps him to stand up as his neck itches ever more.
Nora – Steven what should we do? I don't think we can sort this out in a fist fight!
Steven – I...I... I wouldn't want to fight either, I shouldn't have let myself get mad like that...
Greg then ran past them screaming out words "WIRT! HELP MEEE!" and running and jumping on all fours like the crazed monkey.
Steven coughs "What is going on here? What happened after I-"
He remembered why he left so he stopped mid sentence, hoping Nora understood what he meant.
Nora also had some question to Steven for that footage but that's for later.
Nora – These people have thrown gas bombs around here and there, causing humans to go gull moo moo! STAY out of the smoke if possible.
Steven could see the remnants of that gas from afar, very possibly there is toxin in them.
Nora – And then some gems turned on us! You know this reminds me of one book I read! Invasion amid insurrection tactic is quite popular there!
A loud tremor is felt through the ground as something was coming
Citrine – Where did you go ?! Come on and fight!
Moonstone seemingly vanished from her sight.
Moonstone – Get a load of this!
She then kicks her away from behind before dissapearing again.
She doesn't often use her many abilities including invisibility but they may prove useful here.
Citrine then hits in the floor causing a shockwave, prompting her to stumble out of her stealth form.
Citrine – HAH! Found ya!
Citrine then charges at her before she's intercepted by Ocean Jasper who tries to tackles her like she did Jasper.
Alas while Jasper was training her but Citrine was aiming to end her.
Citrine – Out of my way!
She kicked OJ away who then shapeshifts into a lion, charging at Citrine who holds her in place.
Citrine – Grrr is this all you have!?
Citrine picks her up and throws her at Moonstone who catches her.
Moonstone – You're okay?
OJ – Yes I think, decided to help you out.
Citrine then took out her familiar AXE, this one's on fire.
Citrine – If you couldn't beat me on your own, don't think numbers will help you.
Moonstone – Says one with brute strength alone.
Suddenly from one direction her co-worker Garny came out, calling for everyone to get out of the way as she ran past them.
Ocean Jasper – Multiple debris are coming here! We have to run!
OJ ran away in her feline form with Moonstone shapeshifting into an eagle, flying away from angry Citrine who gave chase.
CHAOS REIGN SUPREME WITHOUT ORDER!
STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
