I... wow... i just fused with a diamond... that was amazing...
said jasper, in awe of what just happened*
steven sighed while sending the gems back to the temple*
"To think... after all this time... they still didnt know what they did wrong."
meanwhile, at roses fountain, pearl reforms*
"oh my goodness... what happened..."
pearl feels something under her, its the note garnet and amethyst left for her, and she reads it*
("Dear P, Steven seems to be going off the deep end, and garnet isnt quite dure what he wants to do, he has Jasper with him, and Garnet knows that for some reason you're also a crucial part of his plan. We're gonna try to stop him, please stay here, it'll be safer this way. Love Garnet and Amethyst.")
"oh my god... I... I... I need to help them... I... but... they said he's planning to use me... I don't... know what to do..."
pearl sat there and started crying, and she just cried and cried and cried*
"no... pull yourself together Pearl... he may be acting off, but he's still the same ol- wait... no... he isn't the same... I need to treat him for what he is now... okay... I need to go to the diamonds and tell them what I know... maybe they can help... and to do that... the warp in the greenhouse."
As pearl sets out for home, Jasper and steven set out for roses fountain.*
"Do you think they were lying because they didnt trust you? we have to think of everything, they're clearly smarter than they look."
says Jasper, walking closley beside Steven*
"Even if Pearl isnt there, we can see if theres any evidence that she was."
"True... What do you want to do once you've carried out your plan?"
"I want to shatter every gem thats wronged me. Apart from you, you're a valuable soldier."
Jasper smiles after steven says that*
(Im valuable to him... Im valuable to a Diamond... wow...)
"and after that?"
"I want this planet gone... Im gonna destroy this planet, and all of its inhabitants. I dont care what mom wanted, its about what I want now, and I want this place gone."
"Understandable. I hate to be annoying... but after that?"
"I'm not sure... but I'll figure it out soon enough."
shortly after, they arrive at Roses Fountain*
"Hmm... I can't hear or feel her here... check around the area."
As Jasper and Steven are looking, Jasper finds something*
"My Diamond, I found something."
Steven walks over to look*
"Hm... a wet piece of paper? Wait... they probably left Pearl a note and she probably knows what I'm doing... we need to head back right now."
Meanwhile, Pearl reaches the house and steps inside, being surprised at the wreckage but having no time to inspect, her dancing through the rubble and being silent yet quick to get into the greenhouse*
"Okay... left no tracks... I know what's happening..."
she looks next to her and sees a rejuvenator Jasper dropped*
"Oh no..."
she grabs the rejuvenator and warps to homeworld*
"Why heya Pearl!"
It was Spinel*
"I was just about to come and see y'all! hey, wait... what's with the scared expression?"
spinel sees the rejuvenator in Pearls' hand*
"I need to see the diamonds... you can come if you wish."
Pearl and Spinel rush inside the diamond palace*
"Tell the diamonds I need them in the meeting room stat."
Pearl rushes to the meeting room and Spinel rounds up the diamonds*
(B)"Why hello pearl. Nice to see you."
(W)"What's with the expression?"
"It's Steven..."
the diamonds and spinel gasp slightly*
(W)"Is he ok?"
"I got a note from Amethyst and Garnet... And found this in the greenhouse..."
Pearl pulls out the rejuvenator*
(Y)"Why was that there?"
(B)"And what was on the note?"
Pearl makes a holo-screen and writes the note in gem glyph, then enlarges it for the diamonds to see*
(Y)"He has Jasper with him? But that's impossible! Jasper was with a Quartz friend just a while ago! (B)"Yellow... that quartz was Steven... and they went to supposedly put some more rejuvenators in the storage..." (Y)"Wait... But it didn't sound like Steven..." "Steven's powers are somehow... enhanced right now..."
"Oh no... Wh... What's gonna happen? And where are Amethyst and Garnet?"
said spinel*
"I'm not sure... but whatever happened to them, it wasn't good... the house was destroyed when I got there."
The diamonds and spinel have a slight look of horror on their face*
"There's no telling what he'll do."
