==Transcript==
*Steven: Okay, here it comes! Nice job, Connie!
*Connie: Thanks! I think I've got the timing down!
*Steven: I wonder if this is how the Gems used to train?
*Connie: What do you mean?
*Steven: I dunno... It's just the more that happens, the more I wish I knew more stories about Gems. BOOOKS!
*Connie: Wow, it looks so...old.
*Steven: Hmmm...
*Connie: Steven, this book, I think it's alive...
*Steven: Come on, we gotta tell the Gems! Guys guys guys!
*Pearl: Oh, hello, you two! How was your morning training?
*Steven: Listen! *panting* Listen... Lion... Threw up... Book...
*Connie: Steven, I told you four Dog-Nuts before training was a bad idea!
*Steven: *panting* I regret nothing.
*Pearl: Were you going to show us something?
*Connie: Lion gave us an interesting book, ma'am!
*Pearl: No, no... It can't possibly be...
*Amethyst: Great, it's a book. Is it gonna bore us to death? Yuh-oh...
*Connie: Huh?
*Garnet: Steven, Connie! Get away from it!
*Pearl: Oh, Rose! Tell me you didn't--!
*Garnet: Steven, find Lapis--!
*Steven: No, please, come back! No way! The Book... ate them?
*Connie: Garnet said find Lapis. Maybe she knows what to do?
*Peridot: Look, it's Steven! He's gonna love our newest Meep Morp!
*Lapis: Hello, Steven. What... What's the matter?
*Steven: Guys, the Crystal Gems, they got swallowed into the pages of this old book!
*Lapis: Swallowed into... That's impossible, Steven.
*Peridot: Oh, I know! It's one of their Earth games. I believe it is called "hide and go look for."
*Steven: It's true, Lapis! Garnet told me you could help before she... She... Well, look!
*Lapis: (Gasps)
*Peridot: wait, what?
*Lapis: That's... It can't be! Those books were all destroyed thousands of years ago! Steven, whatever you do, keep the book restrained or it will find pages for us too!
*Steven: What is it? What did it do to the others?
*Lapis: These books were used to record moments in time within their pages and allow those moments to be re-lived. But the Books became willful and dangerous, manipulating the memories and consuming whomever they wanted.
*Connie: The Gems! We've got to help them!
*Lapis: There's only one way to get the Crystal Gems back... Someone would have to find their chapters and help them relive the tale.
*Steven: Relive the tale? We have to try!
*Lapis: Peridot and I will stay at the Barn and try to learn everything we can about the book.
*Peridot: Yes! We will! ...From a safe distance, of course.
*Connie: Right! Let's find the Book's chapters! They couldn't have gone far!
*Peridot: In searching for the Chapters that consumed the Gems, I'd say asking around Beach City would be a good place to start.
*Mayor Dewey: Hooligans! Good-for-nothings!
*Steven: What's the problem, Mayor Dewey?
*Mayor Dewey: See this poster here? I've placed them all over town but someone keeps vandalizing them! "Mayor Doofy." It's not even witty! I don't have time for this! Please, do your civic duty and remove the vandalized papers!
*Connie: Kinda busy, Mr. Mayor...
*Mayor Drwey: Thanks, kids! And remember to vote Dewey!
*Steven: You can count on us! Hey, Onion!
*Onion: !!!
*Steven: Your... your PALS have gone MISSING?! That's terrible!
*Onion: ...!
*Steven: Hmm. Well... I guess that it wouldn't hurt to keep our eyes open for any that we find.
*Onion: ...
*Lars: The Big Donut's closed today. The fridge's broke so a bunch of stuff spoiled. Isn't it great? Guess I've got the day off. Say... *ahem* You know those Crying Breakfast Friends?
*Steven: Of course! I took an online survey to see which one I am. I'm Sniffing Croissant!
*Lars: Yeah, yeah, keep your voice down! I'm trying to collect all of the Crying Breakfast Friends Cereal prizes. I'd buy some boxes myself but I don't exactly want everyone to know I'm into a kid's show. Anyways, so far all I've gotten are Glum Glass and Spilled Milk. Help me find the rest and I'll give you something cool.
*Steven: Sure, we'll keep our eyes open. Ronaldo-- Have you seen any pages--
*Ronaldo: Not now! There's no time! I have it on good authority that a MONSTER is stalking the streets of Beach City at this very moment!
*Steven: Ugh. Come on, Steven. Let's go.
*Ronaldo: I'm serious! I think it took Peedee!
*Steven: What... what kind of monster?
*Ronaldo: I don't know! Werewhale, Mothman -- I have several theories! I've got to get the word out on the KBCW site, if you find any clues, come back to me! I'll make it worth your while. I have something strange and alien that I've never shared with anyone, not even the internet! Help me find my brother and it's yours!
*Steven: We'll find him, don't worry!
*Greg: Hey kiddos! How're you enjoying this fine morning?
*Steven: Dad, you won't believe what happened!
*Connie: Mr. Universe! We found an ancient book that swallowed the Gems!
*Steven: Yeah! It sucked them into these pages and then they flew off into the city!
*Greg: Huh... Pages like these here?
*Steven: That's Pearl!
*Greg: Really? They just flew under the van when I was polishing the tires.
*Steven: Pearl's trapped in those pages and we've got to save her! It's all my fault, Dad! There's this book and I tried to show the Gems and it --
*Greg: Son, if there's one thing I know, it's thing you'd never put your friends in danger on purpose.
*Steven: I need to get them back. I have to!
*Greg: I know. Save your friends... just be careful. You know... maybe I'll head to the barn. I gotta go through some of Uncle Andy's old stuff.
*Steven: Okay! See ya, Dad! Pearl!
*Pearl: Steven, stay back!
*Connie: We can help!
*Steven: Pearl, are you okay?
*Pearl: I can't believe Rose kept it!
*Steven: Kept what?
*Pearl: This horrible book!
*Steven: You knew she had it?
*Pearl: No! Well, I don't know... I always wondered. At the end of the rebellion, the Homeworld forces fled earth. In their haste they left many things behind. Among the remains of an abandoned outpost, Rose and I found it. We heard the stories, so ancient even Gems considered them to be nothing more than legends. She bubbled it and promised to take care to it... Well, I guess we've no choice. We must see what the book wants us to see.
*Steven: Hey, it's another Pearl!
*Pearl: Stop. Don't go near her.
*Steven: Why...why not?
*Pearl: Pearls are servants. She should not be here alone. Where is her master?
*Connie: ...She doesn't seem to be doing *anything.*
*Steven: Yeah, she just seems bored. Like she's waiting.
*Lonely Pearl: *sighs*
*Steven: She's leaving...
*Pearl: Let's follow her...from a safe distance. Hm. Perhaps I can throw my spear over there. Steven, do you see those torches? It's possible to imbue my spear with elemental properties. Maybe we could use the fire to clear a path.
*Connie: Wow. What's with this giant tree? Look, it's that Pearl!
*Lonely Pearl: You said you would come back for me... I've lost track of how long that was.
*Steven: She's all alone? That's so sad... It's the Gem, let me read it. *Ahem* It says... "Research outpost Nine, head Epistolary. Progress on the last Tome has been halted until further notice, by order of the Authority. "I don't understand. Perhaps the Diamonds are concerned about the Tome's apparent...willfulness." "But how did the Authority find out about the Tomes in the first place? If there's a traitor among the Pearls I will be displeased." It's another log entry. "We are abandoning this facility. Work on the Tomes has been halted indefinitely." "I believe this to be the cause of one of the servants, who has poisoned the Authority against the research here." "An example must be made." "She will be left here, sweeping dust and swatting at moths, awaiting a return that will never come." "A traitor deserves nothing less." ...It ends there.
*Steven: They... They left her here?
*Connie: That poor Pearl! I don't see her anywhere. I haven't seen her since we entered the Library, come to think of it.
*Pearl: Look out! No...
*Steven: It's her. She...was the monster?
*Lonely Pearl: Heh... You finally came back... for me?
*Pearl: No! Wait...!
*Steven: Pearl... I--
*Pearl: She was just here. Discarded like an object. Like a thing. This is Homeworld treats us Pearls. The always have.
*Connie: Pearl, I'm so sorry... They were wrong about you, and about her. A Pearl taught me that I can be as strong as I choose to be.
*Pearl: Connie...
*Connie: ...?
*Pearl: You did very well.
*Connie: ...Thank you, maam.
*Peridot: Pearl, welcome back! Hey, you okay? You look kinda crumpled?
*Pearl: I'm... Yes, I'm fine now that I'm out of there. We met a Pearl. One who had been left alone for a long time. I'm grateful to Steven and Connie for helping me escape. Were I forced to suffer the same fate as her...
*Steven: It's okay, Pearl! You're safe now!
*Greg: Hey Schtu-ball! Wow, so that book really did grab the Gems, huh?
*Steven: Right, and we've gotta save them!
*Greg: Well, if you need anything, I'll be here. That goes for you too, Ms. Maheswaran.
*Pearl: The books were known to manipulate the truth, but it felt so real.
*Peridot: I've surmised that the book placed the Gems in their respective chapters because it related specifically to them. I wonder why. Is it trying to file them into a category? Giving them a task to complete? Or just toying with them?
*Steven: Do you have any idea why it didn't capture Connie or me?
*Lapis: Well, you're the first Gem-human hybrid to exist, Steven. And Connie, who knows if it's ever seen a human before. Maybe it didn't know what to do with you.
*Steven: Hi Lion! Who's my favorite boy?
*Lion: Zzz...
*Sadie: Uh, hey.
*Steven: Sadie, have you seen anything that looks like a page fly by here?
*Sadie: Page? Like from a book?
*Steven: Yeah, I know it sounds weird--
*Sadie: What's weird is that I actually have.
*Steven: Really?!
*Sadie: I thought it was maybe an old Beachapalooza flyer something, blowing in the wind. It seemed to be flying toward the north side, of the beach somewhere. I obviously didn't follow it.
*Steven: Sadiw, you're amazing! Thanks!
*Sadie: Uhh... don't mention it.
*Steven: Connie, look! Monster prints! Maybe Ronaldo was actually onto something.
*Connie: Look, Steven, there are some leaves in the prints. These leaves aren't natural to anything that grows on the beach.
*Steven: Oh! Maybe the monster lives in the woods!
*Connie: Good thinking, Steven! We should search the woods for more clues!
*Garnet: ...!
*(Steven and Connie arrives)
*Connie: Garnet! Thank goodness we found you!
*Garnet: It was very dangerous for you to follow me here.
*Steven: Look we're just gonna let you get eaten by a book!
*Garnet: Alright. Let's go.
*Steven: Those rocks are blocking the path.
*Garnet: Leave it to me. ...There. ...!
*Steven: The Rubies! Eyeball!
*Connie: You've met them before?
*Steven: Yeah, uh, we beat them at baseball and sent them to Neptune.
*Connie: You... what?
*Garnet: ...hm.
*Steven: What is it, Garnet? Future Vision?
*Garnet: ...Past. A memory this old...those Rubies should match. But their uniforms are all different.
*Connie: Is it possible the book is using your memories to change how these events unfold, Garnet?
*Garnet: ...Perhaps.
*Ruby (Doc): Rubies! Fall in!
*Ruby (Navy): Wow, what a lovely desert!
*Ruby (Eyeball): Grrr...I HATE this planet! There's sand in my SHORTS!
*Ruby (Army): Yeah, stupid Earth! Be dirt or be water, not both!
*Ruby (Doc): Quiet! We're here for the mission, remember?!
*Ruby (Leggy): Yes, Ruby1 What is our... objective...again?
*Ruby (Doc): Our mission is the extraction of the sensitive data from the facility below! We must not allow it to fall into rebel hands.
*Ruby (Doc): That sounds dangerous...
*Ruby (Army): Pft! I hope IS dangerous!
*Ruby (Doc): Well it, will be!
*Ruby (Army): GOOD! Danger!
*Ruby (Doc): Alright platoon, into the faciltiy!
*Connie: Those Rubies... The Book recorded them here? Why?
*Garnet: We should follow them. Let's go.
*Steven: Huh? Where'd the rubies go?
*Garnet: Let's explore the facility. Stay close.
*Steven: Whoa...
*Garnet: It's a Gem Tech machine. it appears to be... ancient.
*Connie: I don't think it's working anymore.
*Garnet: It's a Gem Tech machine. It's no longer appears to be functioning. There. That machine appears to still to be functioning.
*Connie: Whoa. What are those?
*Garnet: Gen Tech timed explosives. I believe this machine just activated them throughout the whole facility.
*Steven: Hey Garnet, do you think you can pick them up and throw them?
*Garnet: Of course. ...They didn't!
*Steven: What?
*Garnet: I know what this place is. I understand now. These machines, they... They took Gems condemned to be shattered, and they... They made them...! They force them! That isn't fusion1 It isn't fair! HOW COULD THEY!
*Steven: Garnet! Be careful, you're gonna split up!
*Connie: Please, Connie, we need you!
*Garnet: They were force to fuse... Forced to fight! We aren't like that!
*Steven: That's right! You aren't like that! We know what Fusion is meant to be! It's about... Love! And we love you, Garnet!
*Garnet: Steven, Connie. That was a facility for... fusion experiments.
*Steven: is that why the book brought you here? Because you're a Fusion?
*Garnet: We're going to find out. Thank you both. Let's get moving. ...! Hide!
*(Steven, Garnet and Connie are hiding)
*Ruby (Doc): Okay, beyond this door is the reactor. Let's grab the data and get the heck outta here!
*Ruby (Leggy): This place gives me the willies!
*Ruby (Navy): What's a willy?
*Ruby (Doc): Everyone focus! I don't know what a willy is either but it's certainly not the mission objective. Everyone inside, and eyes open! Err, however...many eyes...you happen to have. *Ahem."
*Ruby (Eyeball): *Grr.*
*Ruby (Doc): Alright, I've got the data! Mission complete!
*Ruby (Navy): Yay!
*Ruby (Army): Hey! Who are they?
*Ruby (Eyeball): Intruders! They're here to sabotage the mission!
*Ruby (Leggy): Uh-oh... They've seen our top security facility.
*Ruby (Doc): ...And we have very specific orders: no witnesses! Rubies, together now!
*(Rubies fuse into Ruby Fusion)
*Ruby Fusion: Fusion time! UGH! My personal space! Stop touching me! Quit complaining! We're more powerful this way! Now let's take care of these interlopers!
*Steven: Huh? Where did they go?
*Connie: I don't see their Gems anymore.
*Garnet: An illusion.
*Steven: Was this memory ever real?
*Garnet: Parts of it could be. A path never walked, or half-remembred. I have seen many futures appear and disappear. But this... Steven... It's for reasons like this that I fought... why your mother fought.
*Steven: To be free from Homeworld?
*Garnet: Yes. Thank you both for reminding me what's real.
*Steven: *gasp* Is it love?
*Garnet: Heh. Always. Alright. Let's go home.
*Peridot: Garnet, welcome back.
*Lapis: What happened?
*Garnet: It was a ward, a place for fusion experimentation on Earth. If Steven and Connie hadn't rescued me, I might still be in that horrible place.
*Connie: Glad to have you back, Garnet! Hm, is this Ronaldo's monster nest?
*Steven: Look! Donuts! I guess it likes them!
*Connie: Donuts? Out here? Hm...Maybe it's getting them from town? We should look around in Beach City.
*Steven: Good thinking Connie! All this talk of donuts is making me hungry... for donuts!
*Sadie: Oh, right... That. Someone should probably clean that up.
*Steven: Sadie! Did you see that creature that did this?
*Sadie: No, but it looks like whatever it was took off towards the beach.
*Connie: The beach! I bet that's where the monster is! Let's follow the trail!
*Peedee: Steven! Connie! Thank goodness! This is all my fault! I planned all this for my brother Ronaldo to find.
*Connie: Peedee?! You put those monster clues all over the city?
*Peedee: Yeah... Ronaldo's been pretty depressed lately. He really misses his girlfriend Jane. I was just trying to bring him out of his funk, he's happier when he's blogging, so I was trying to help. I placed the clues around town and was going to place the final one here, but then I got trapped.
*Steven: Ronaldo's been worried sick, but he'll relieved to know that you're okay!
*Peedee: Thanks! I'll go find him. You should come by later!
*Steven: Amethyst! Are you okay?
*Amethyst: Uh, duh. Why wouldn't I be?
*Connie: Because the book swallowed you and put into this page!
*Amethyst: Oh, *that's* what happened? Alright, so where's the exit?
*Connie: You don't understand! The book has trapped you here and you can't leave until we see what it wants to show you!
*Amethyst: So, I'm stuck here? Figures. Stupid books.
*Steven: Don't worry, we're going to help.
*Amethyst: Well what are we waiting for/ Let's get this show on the road!
*Connie: Oh no, this gap is huge... How will we get across?
*Amethyst: No sweat, C-dog! Check this out!
*Steven: Block puzzles? Why'd it have to be block puzzles?
*Amethyst: Hold up, I think we can move them around...
*Connie: Is this one of the beacons? Why should try activating it.
*Steven: One beacon activated, let's find the other two! Whoa, look at the size of that one! ...Echoooo!
*Amethyst: This place seems...familiar...
*Connie: Guys... What are those?
*Steven: Wait a minute... Is this...?
*Amethyst: It's a Kingdergarten!
*Connie: What was that?
*Steven: What's gotten into her?
*Amethyst: Come on!
*Jasper (Eyeball): Inferior runts! Only the strongest! What are you waiting for? Gather them for shattering!
*Amethyst Guard: Yes, Jasper!
*Steven: She's destroying the gems here... The smaller ones... Wait, how is that possible? Oh no, I can't remember!
*Connie: Yeah, this place feels...off. It's making my head fuzzy.
*Amethyst: Aggh! Who cares! Let's go after her!
*Amethyst Guard: Commander, we've had a report of encounters with a small group of unknown quartz. While especially ...puny... they seem to defeated some of our forces in combat.
*Jasper (Eyeball): What? Unacceptable, find them!
*Amethyst Guard: Master, the quartz intruders still remain at large.
*Jasper (Eyeball): Ugh! Worthless! Find them, now!
*Amethyst: Hey! Right here you big bully!
*Jasper (Eyeball): You... You're even more pitful than the rest!
*Amethyst: And I've seen blimps smaller than you, jumbo!
*Jasper (Eyeball): Inferior little whelp, I will enjoy shattering you.
*Amethyst: Try it! Careful though, wouldn't want you to lose the other eye!
*Steven: Wait... Her eye! Jasper...her gem is on her nose!
*Connie: I remember now, too! Is this place messing with us?
*Jasper (Eyeball): Enough! I will not tolerate such insolence in my kindergarten! I'll shatter you!
*Amethyst: Come get some if you think you're so superior!
*Steven: is everyone *whew* ...okay? Yeah, I'm okay. But, Jasper...I remember now.
*Amethyst: I... I knew. I guess I did the whole time. I knew it couldn't *really* be Jasper. I just...really wanted to believe that it was. I guess, deep down, I just wanted to prove that she had no power over me.
*Steven: She doesn't, Amethyst. She never will.
*Amethyst: You guys rock! I couldn't have done with without you! Now let's blow this donut stand. Speaking of which, I'm starving!
*Lapis: Amethyst! You're back!
*Peridot: What happened in there?
*Amethyst: There was a Jasper. In a kingdergarten. She was...shattering gems she thought were inferior.
*Lapis: I see.
*Amethyst: No sweat. We took care of. And honestly, I wasn't that impressed. Just like the real Jasper: all talk.
*Peridot: Finally! Well done, you've rescued all my loyal Crystal Gem sidekicks!
*Pearl: Sidekicks?
*Greg: Whoa. Way to go, kiddo!
*Steven: Thanks Dad! So uhh...now what?
*Peridot: There appears to be something remaining within the book, a source of concentrated power...
*Steven: Hmm. Hey, that reminds me! There's a huge tree inside the book we've come across. Right, Connie?
*Connie: Right! But there's a big locked door in front of it.
*Steven: And it connects to areas inside the other three chapters!
*Lapis: Hmm. A tree? It sounds like this tree is the source of the book's power.
*Pearl: I think we'll need to find the method to unlock the door within the other three chapters. You'll need to unlock each of them... to...
*Steven: Lion?
*Garnet: Greg! Look out!
*Greg: What the...? Who are you?!
*Fable: Come, Greg, I've got something to show you.
*Steven: Dad! Not again!
*Lapis: Steven, who was that?!
*Connie: I think we've seen her... inside the book. But where's Lion?!
*Amethyst: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get him! It should be a cinch now that we're all back together.
*Steven: Oh no, Dad... Lion... What do you think she took him?
*Connie: The tree. It has to be.
*Lapis: Find the mechanisms to unlock the door in the other chapters. They should look like beacons. You might have even encountered them already.
*Steven: Got it. Hang on, dad! Shoot. It's locked. 
*Ronaldo: Peedee came by after you found him and explained what happened. HA HA HA, so funny, right?
*Peedee: Thanks again!
*Ronaldo: But you did help him get out of there, so I guess I still owe you. Here, take this. It's from my personal collection. I've got some werewhale blog posts to take down. What a shame.
*Steven: Two beacons activated, one more to go!
*Mayor Dewey: You've found them all? Good! You're probably expecting a reward... But doing your civic duty is reward in itself.
*Connie: That hardly seems like fair compensation!
*Mayor Dewey: Oh, fine. Here you go, take this.
*Steven: Cool! Thanks, Mr. Mayor!
*Lars: Have you found any more Crying Breakfast Friends?
*Steven: Here you go, Lars! We got 'em all.
*Lars: Oh my gosh! Sweet! Thanks, you two! Now I have to figure out where to hide them, so that no one knows...
*Connie: Why? That's no fun.
*Steven: Yeah, just be yourself! You like a kids show, who cares? Kids shows are awesome!
*Lars: I dunno. I'm just not ready yet. Anyways, here take this thing I found. It's weirding me out anyways.
*Garnet: We must return to the tree to rescue Greg!
*Steven: That's the last beacon, we should go check the mysterious tree! Dad! Where are you?!
*Connie: We'll find him. Come on!
*Fable: We... are the Crystal... Gems...
*Steven: It's you again! Who are you? Where's my dad?
*Fable: Steven... I'm so glad... We can finally be together. All of us.
*Steven: Stop! Wait! Dad!
*Greg: Steven!
*Steven: Dad, are you alright?
*Greg: Steven! We have to get out of here! Before she comes back!
*Fable: It's been so long since I've had someone new. It was dark for so long. We will such fun together. Steven, Connie, The Crystal Gems...and me!
*Steven: Huh? What?
*Connie: You're... You're the Book, aren't you?
*Fable: Connie, so clever! But I prefer to be called Fable, if you don't mind. I've never played with humans before, I quite like them. I will write so many pages for us. How exciting! What would you make us happy? A page where your mother still lives?
*Steven: No... No, you can't do that. It won't be real...
*Fable: Oh, Steven... Is this not real? You haven't even noticed.
*Steven: Fable, wait! Noticed what?
*Connie: Oh no...Steven, we have to get out of here! We have to get back to everyone!
*Steven: Guys! We got him!
*Peridot: Greg! You didn't die!
*Greg: Man, that was nuts! Thanks for getting me out of there, guys.
*Steven: We saw her again...whoever it was that took dad!
*Lapis: Steven, what is she?
*Steven: She said her name is Fable! I think she *is* the Book! Whatever's controlling it, the person inside it!
*Peridot: Person? How perculiar... I never considered that the book could materialize a thoughtform or a quasi-physical expression of self... Gah! Stay away!
*Connie: It's her!
*Fable: Hello again, friends!
*Steven: You! What do you want with my Lion?!
*Fable: I posed as your Lion. To watch you, and to aim you where I needed you to go.
*Pearl: How... How are you out of the book?
*Fable: Ah, Connie has an answer for that, don't you? She's the only one who's figured it out. Go on, tell them.
*Connie: ... We're inside the book. We have been the whole time.
*Fable: I wrote a chapter for us and everyone in Beach City, where we can be all together, forever!
*Steven: Huh? We're...inside the book?
*Fable: I know how much you crave adventure, Steven. It was too much to resist, wasn't it? The threat of your friends in danger, your father taken.
*Peridot: There's no way. You won't get away with this! Nobody sucks me into a book WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
*Steven: Fable, you have to let us go!
*Fable: No, no. You can't go now, things are just getting interesting!
*Steven: We'll find a way to stop you!
*Fable: Oh, are you displeased with our stories? I'm sorry, perhaps some revisions then... Oh, I can't wait to get started! Farewell for now, friends!
*Steven: What do we do? We have to find a way out, a way to stop this!
*Peridot: If there was a way to activate the Book, there must be a way to deactive it.
*Greg: The tree.
*Steven: Huh?
*Greg: When I was inside the book, in the tree, I saw her come out of a room, past where I was kept. I think it's where she lives!
*Steven: Then we go back. We have to stop her. Fable!
*Fable: Steven, you shouldn't be here!
*Steven: I'm sorry but you have to let us go!
*Fable: I've been so alone... But I've written a special page, just for us, where we don't have to hurt anymore. You'll see.
*Steven: Stop! You don't have to stop!
*Fable: Stop?! Is that why you've come here? I thought we were friends?! No! I won't let you leave me! I tried to give you everything. We can't you see that?! I thought we were friends! 
*Steven: Stop!
*Fable: Steven... Why?
*Steven: I'm-I'm sorry you've been alone! We never wanted to hurt you. But you can't force us to stay here! 
*Fable: I was a prisoner for so long... but I never should have forced you into the same fate. 
*Steven: There's got to be some way... What if... What if write inside your pages? We could tell you all about our adventures! You've been stuck reviling the same darks stories over and over. It's time for you to make some new memories. Some happy ones!
*Connie: Yeah! Me too! We have so many stories that we could share with you! You'll no longer have to be alone! 
*Fable: You'd...you'd do that? After what I've done? The danger I've put you in?
*Steven: A good book is always worth coming back to.
*Fable: Really?
*Steven: I promise.
*Fable: I... Thank you, Steven.
*Steven: It's the right thing to do. And you know what? That's what a Crystal Gem does. 
*Fable: A Crystal Gem...
*(Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet arrives)
*Steven: Dear Fable... Today was AWESOME!
----
*Steven: (Narrating) Long ago... There was a powerful weapon. A Prism that could create entire armies of light. It was really bad news. But then, one day, the Prism was lost! Never ever to be found again... Until it was! By four brave adventures! That's us! Garnet. Amethyst. and Pearl... ...and ME!! The Crystal Gems! But we accidentally unleashed the light inside! Wuh oh! So we traveled all over the world to retrieve each color. It was a really great adventure! Just when we thought our quest was over, the light turned into a really big bad, monster... Rawr, let's fight! But I told it "We don't have to do this! You don't have to be a weapon! You can be anything you want to be!" And then, it didn't want to fight anymore! It's shape started to change, and suddenly it became... ...ME!! And that's the story of my great Prism adventure, and how I met this dashing fellow... Light Steven! 
*Connie: Wow... so cool...
*Steven: I know, right? Check this out! He's got all my moves! 
*Connie: Hahaha! Wow, Steven. He's great!
*Steven: Hey, that's not one of my moves! Um, that doesn't usually happen... 
*Connie: C'mon, Steven! Let's go check outside!
*Steven: Cheeseburger Backpack! Don't leave home without it! 
*Connie: There it is! 
*Steven: Hey! Wait up, lil guy!
*Connie: Let's go, Steven! Was that really in the sand? I'm not sure if I'd eat that... Hmm. I wonder what it's up to? 
*Steven: Maybe it wants a donut? We should probably head back... I think it's trying to lead us somewhere!
*Connie: Yeah, I think you're right! Quick! We don't want to keep it waiting! 
*Sadie: Hey Lars, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
*Lars: Uh huh. Yo, Steven. 
*Steven: Hey, Lars... did you see happen to see a magical floating Prism thingie float by here?
*Lars: Nope.
*Steven: Um, Mr. Prism? Light Steven!! Oh no, something's wrong with him!
*Greg: Uh, Steven...
*Steven: Dad, what's going on?!
*Greg: Please tell me this is another friend of yours??
*Steven: Wuh oh...
*Greg: Um, giant spaceship? If you're gonna land, maybe you could move a skosh away from the... AHHH!!!!!
*Steven: CAR WASH! NOOOOOO!!!
*Hessonite: Ah, the Earth. Did you miss me? Now, let's see, where is... Ah! THERE you are! 
*Steven: Eep!
*Hessonite: I could feel it! Who activated you? They obviously don't know you're still mine. Get over here! My stars. You look absurd! Let's get you out of that shape post haste. 
*Steven: Hey! No! Who are you and why are you doing this? Leave him alone!
*Connie: Yeah! He doesn't want to go with you! 
*Steven: Nooooo!!! Light Steven!! 
*Hessonite: Hmmm, that strange sound? What's that down there? ...Humans? Ha! REALLY! You... activated in the hands... of HUMANS? I leave you here for a few thousand years, and you're ready to activate for whoever... WHATEVER happens to grab you?! Well, I'll let you make it up to me. Turn on them and cut them to shreds! WHAAAT!!! What are these weak forms! Your blades... so FLIMSY! You've gone SOFT!!!!! Come with me, you're embrassing yourself! 
*Steven: WAIT! LIGHT STEEEEEVENN!!! 
*Connie: Steven. watch out! 
*Greg: ACK! Be careful, kids!! 
*Connie: Leave it to us, Mr. Universe! 
*Steven: Way to go, Connie!!
*Connie: Thanks, Steven!
*Steven: Okay, Steven! Now it's your time to shine! You've got this, Connie!
*Connie: Yeah!!
*Greg: That was coconuts! Are you kids okay??
*Steven: Yeah... sorry about the car wash, Dad.
*Greg: It's okay, Schtu-ball. At lease you're both safe. And hey, the van made it without a scratch! Welp. Looks like I've got some work to do cleaning up around here., Oy. 
*Steven: But what about the poor Light Steven? We've gotta save him! 
*Connie: We should tell the Crystal Gems what happened! They'll know what to do!
*Steven: Yeah! Let's... 
*Mayor Dewey: (off-screen) YAAAAAAA!!!!! 
*Connie: Oh man, what is it now?
*Mayor Dewey: Kids! You've gotta help me! There's a crazy blue raccoon on the Dewey Mobile!
*Connie: You can count on us, Mayor Dewey!
*Mayor Dewey: Oh good! That's government property, y'know!
*Connie: Man, these guys are tough! I wish he had something to help us out... 
*Steven: I've got just the thing! 
*Mayor Dewey: Thank you, kids! But I still need your help!! These weird things have infested Beach city! They're public menace!! And worst of all: on my way here, I lost THE KEY TO THE CITY! They must've taken it! It's a crisis, I tell you! I need you two to get that key back for me!
*Steven: Um, Mayor Dewey, we were just actually on our way to go find the Gems and--
*Mayor Dewey: THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT!! This is of the UTMOST importance!! Here, take this official government document. You can reference that to make sure you find the right key! I'm sure if you track down more of those little blue guys, it'll lead you to the key! 
*(Greg arrives)
*Greg: Waaaait! I'm going with you! 
*Steven: Dad! Wait... really??
*Greg: Yeah, I mean, I know it's not usually my place to join you on your magical missions... But I just saw a glittery space lady kidnap a giant magical version of my son! I can't just stand around here now! Plus, uh, I don't really have anything else to do, what with the car wash busted and all... 
*Steven: Wow! Embarking on an adventure with my best friend AND my Dad?? CAN'T... EXPRESS... EXCITMENT!! 
*Greg: So, I guess let's, uh... get this party started?
*Steven: Oh yeah, while we look for this key, we should probably also go find the Gems! I think they said they were going to be at--
*Connie: Steven, behind you!
*Greg: STEVEN!! Oh no! What do we do??
*Connie: Hang in there, Steven! I'll get you out!
*Steven: So, I guess that's a thing that can happen... I owe ya one, Connie!
*Greg: Yeah, um, let's be more careful, everyone... 
*Steven: Nanafua! Are you okay?
*Nanafua: Yes! Why wouldn't I be? 
*Steven: Well, I'm not sure if you saw all the monsters running around Beach City? 
*Nanafua: Oh, yes! I just ran into a few and whooped their butts. 
*Steven: Whoa! Well, uh, carry on then! 
*Kofi: Hey, Steven? You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with these strange monsters appearing in Beach City, would you?
*Steven: Um, maaaayybbee... 
*Mr. Fryman: Oh bot. This is some of that Gem stuff Ronaldo always talks about, isn't it? 
*Steven: Hey, Suitcase Sam! How's it going? Just suitcasin' it up, I see?
*Suitcase Sam: ... 
*Steven: Cool, I'm just gonna keep walking then! 
*Connie: Hm, no key yet... 
*Greg: Don't worry, kids! I've got a good feeling about the next one! 
*Steven: Yeah, me too!! 
*Jenny: Yo, Steven! Crazy day, right?
*Steven: The craziest!
*Jenny: Hey, so... you're a resourceful guy! Care to help me with something? My Dad sent me on an errand to go return this new pizza cutter he ordered. Wouldya believe it, it's too dull to cut pizza! Ridic, I know. But the store closed early due to all these monster shenanigans! Instead of returning this pizza cutter, maybe you can help me fix it? If you could find a way to sharpen it for me, I won't have to hear an earfull from my Dad. 
*Greg: Vidalia!
*Vidalia: Hey hey! What are you troublemakers up to? 
*Steven: Oh, y'know. Saving the world from crazy light monsters. 
*Vidalia: Ah yeah, I've noticed those around today. Cool. That's good of you guys. 
*Steven: We try! So, whatcha doin'?
*Vidalia: Basically just staring at this dumb empty canvas. I've got total artist's book. Say, Steven... maybe you can provide me a little inspiration! What do you think I should paint? 
*Steven: Paint my Dad! How 'bout a painting of my Dad? From back when you guys used to hang out?
*Greg: Oh boy, I'm sure we can find a better subject than me... 
*Vidalia: I love it! A painting of my favorite rockstar! Thanks, Steven! come on by later and I'll share my progress. 
*Steven: There it is! KEY GET!
*Greg: Wow, you kids sure are good at finding stuff!
*Connie: Huzzah! Let's go bring it back to Mayor Dewey!
*Mayor Dewey: Well, Universe? Did you find the key?? Let's see it!
*Steven: Here you go, Mr. Mayor!
*Mayor Dewey: Oh, thank goodness! Thank you, kids! You've done a great service for your city! As a small token oif my gratitude, let me reward you with this strange object I found!
*Steven: Yay! I'm so proud of us!
*Connie: Alright! Now we should probably go tell the Gems about what happened at the car wash!
*Steven: Oh yeah, that! Knowing the Gems, I bet they're noticed this whole monsters all over the place thing... I'm sure they're somewhere here in Beach City fighting them off, just like we were! 
*Connie: Hm, maybe if we head up the hill to the lighthouse, we can spot them?
*Steven: That sounds like pretty much the best idea ever!
*Sadie: AAAARRRRGHHH! 
*Steven: Sadie? Is everything okay?
*Sadie: Oh, haha. Didn't see you there. Steven. Yeah, the ice machine's not working and I still need to make a batch of frozen donuts. 
*Steven: Hold up! Donuts can be... frozen??
*Sadie: Well, yeah. They're like donuts filled with ice cream.
*Steven: *gasp* That sounds divine...
*Sadie: It is. But I can't make any until we get some ice.
*Steven: We're on the case!! Hey, Lion! Have you seen the Gems today??
*Lion: Zzzzz...
*Greg: I'm guessing that's a no...
*Steven: Hey, wait! Down there, on the beach, that looks like...
*Connie: Who do you see, Steven?
*Steven: Amethyst! 
*Connie: You're right, there she is! They should call you Eagle Eyes Universe!
*Steven: Oh no! Watch out, Amethyst! C'mon, we've gotta go help her! Lion, I didn't know you liked to nap up here! 
*Lion: Zzzzz...
*Steven: Though I guess you pretty much to nap everywhere, don'tcha buddy?
*Lion: Zzzzz...
*Steven: Cool, good talk! 
*Lion: Zzzzz... ....? 
*Steven: Lion! You're awake! So, hey, want to help us out with...
*Lion: Zzzz...
*Steven: Okay, maybe next time! Amethyst!! 
*Amethyst: Hey, dudes! Don't mind me! Just single-handledly saving Beach City from some weirdo monsters. All in a day's work, y'know?
*Connie: Mind if we lend a hand?
*Amethyst: Thought you'd never ask! Niii~iiice! Sooo, you guys know the city's, like, crawling with these things, right? 
*Steven: Yeah! Amethyst, it was a Homeworld Gem!! She destroyed Dad's car wash and stole the Prism and unleashed all these monsters!! And now we've gotta rescue Light Me!!!! 
*Amethyst: Whoa, slow down there, Turbo! The car wash, really? Bummer.
*Greg: Yeah, tell me about it...
*Steven: Amethyst, do you know anything about a Gem who'd came to Earth looking for the Prism? Um, she was, uh, really tall. Fluffy hair... kinda orange-ish? 
*Amethyst: Um, nope, doesn't ring a bell. What's all this biz about a Prism, again?
*Steven: You know, the one you guys found that day, and it started that whole adventure where we went around the world battling the light creatures?
*Amethyst: Hmmm. 
*Steven: You don't remember?
*Amethyst: I guess, sorta. That seems like a long time ago, right? We go on a lot of adventures...
*Connie: We were hoping you or the other Gems would know what to do next? 
*Amehtyst: Ha, um, well... I DID see a really huge ship fly over there towards the forest. So, we should totally go follow it, right? Yeah! What are we waiting for! Let's go find this Prism snatcher! 
*Steven: Shouldn't we tell the other Gems first? I dunno... Yeah! Let's mash her potatoes! 
*Amethyst: YEA-YUH! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! This Homeworld punk's got no idea what's comin' her way! 
*Kiki: Hey, Steven. I think my Dad wants to talk to you... 
*Kofi: STEVEN!! 
*Steven: Oh, uh, hey Mr. Pizza...
*Kofi: DID YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS UNLEASH MONSTERS IN BEACH CITY AGAIN??
*Steven: What? No! Well, maybe indirectly?...
*Kofi: Do you know have ANY idea how bad this is for business?? YOU should make this up to me, personally!
*Steven: Oh, well, we're trying to hunt down these monsters right now, actually!
*Kofi: That's not enough!! If you really want to make it up to me... you can help us deliver pizza! Talk to Kiki to start taking deliveries.
*Steven: Oh, uh, y-yes sir! 
*Kiki: Sorry about my Dad, Steven.
*Steven: It's okay. Helping is what the Crystal Gems are all about!
*Kiki: Well then, that's great! I've already got a delivery for you to run. It's for Suitcase Sam. 
*Steven: Makes sense! If there's one thing I know about Suitcase Sam, it's that he loves his pizza! Actually, I don't know anything about Suitcase Sam. Hi Suitcase Sam! I've got one pizza with *your* fun nickname on it! 
*Suitcase Sam: Mmm! 
*Steven: Pleasure doing business with you! 
*Kiki: Yo, Steven! I've got another delivery I could use your help with! This one's for Vidalia. Can you scoot on over to her for me?
*Steven: On it like a bonnet! Pizza time! 
*Vidalia: Ah, artist fuel! Thanks, Steven! 
*Steven: Sour Creeeam!
*Sour Cream: Hey, it's Steven. Maybe, you can help me. I'm playing the semi-annual DJ rave thing tonight, but I left all my glow sticks in the forest. Bummer, right? 
*Steven: Your glow sticks?? Those are your signature items!
*Sour Cream: I knew you'd understand. If you can find 10 glow sticks, I'll give you a sick reward. Oh, actually. I've got one glowstick on me here. Maybe you could take it as like, y'know, a reminder to find the others?
*Peedee: S-S-STEVEN! MONSTERS! 
*Steven: Don't worry, Peedee! We'll protect you and your tasty fries!! HEY! Light guys! No one messes with the Fry Shack! 
*Peedee: Phew. T-thanks, Steven. I'm going to make a conscious decision not to ask what's going on, and instead just focus on doing on my job. 
*Steven: That's probably for the best! 
*Peedee: Since you saved my life, I guess I can give you some fries on the house.
*Kiki: Hey, Steven! Thanks for your help, but I don't have any other deliveries that need to go out right now. Though I could use a hand again next time you're around! Be sure to stop by later. 
*Kofi: How are the deliveries going, Steven? Don't forget: you still owe me! 
*Mr. Smiley: Hey, you kids are alright! It's your efforts that'll allow the quarters to keep flowing! As a small token of gratitude... here's a token! It's for our latest and greatest addition... BOLTRON! Son of Zoltron! This baby should look familiar to you, Steven! But of course, this guy is ALL NEW! Kids these days want a contest refresh of new attractions, you know. 
*Steven: Oooooo... all new... 
*Mr. Smiley: Monsters are pretty much always bad for business. Good luck hunting 'em down, kids! Ha!
*Boltron: Boltron predicts you will open your inventory and select a Boltron token! 
*Steven: Oh man, he really can see into the future!!
*Boltron: Check the prize dispenser below me!
*Steven: Um, that's a really weird fortune... Oh, wait! Jamie!
*Jamie: Oh, Steven! The absolute calamity that's befallen us! 
*Steven: Oh... yeah, I guess things are kinda bad?
*Jamie: What did you think of that reading? Too over the top? What's happening today is the real-life training scenario every actor dreams of! The DRAMA of it all!! 
*Steven: Ah. Yeah, I'd maybe dial it down just a hair.
*Jamie: Perfect, thanks Steven!
*Steven: Hey, Buck! Pretty crazy and amazing day, huh??
*Buck: Sure. I guess so. Y'know, sometimes I envy you, Steven. 
*Steven: Me?
*Buck: Yeah, you have a childlike sense of wonder what I no longer experience, due in large part to my way cynical worldview.
*Steven: Oh... well, maybe I can fix it! I can't help you. ...because it's not about what I can do. It's about what YOU can do for yourself! 
*Buck: Wow. That's deep. You're right. Thanks, Steven. You've really opened up something inside me. 
*Steven: R-really? Cool!
*Buck: Yes. Very cool.
*Steven: Oh no! They're chopping down the all the trees! Not Mother Nature!! Wuh oh! 
*Amethyst: Um, that was weird. What was it?
*Steven: I dunno, but I'm sure it'll come in handy dandy!
*Connie: Wow, what is this?
*Steven: OOH! OOH! 
*Greg: Yeah, ain't every day you see a big magical wall like this. What should we do now?
*Steven: Let's beat it up! We need to find the magic key! 
*Greg: Oh, yeah! Doy! That makes sense! Looks like this isn't your first rodeo, Scthu-ball!
*Steven: Haha, thanks, Dad! Hm, there's something about this sprout sure does seem vaguely magical and mysterious... Oooo...
*Greg: That's good, right?
*Connie: Looks like it! Let's find another one!
*Steven: Onion?? What are you doing here? 
*Onion: ...
*Steven: Oh? Are these, like, for sale? Uh. Cool! Hey!! Stop that! Whoops... sorry, lil guy!! Oh, heh, heh, fancy seeing you guys here... Guys!! I found another thingie! 
*Connie: Nice! You're on the roll! 
*Steven: Yeah!
*Amethyst: Man oh man, we are on a roll! I mean, who needs P and G at this point? We've totally got this! 
*Steven: Hi, Yellowtail!
*Yellowtail: ...
*Steven: Bye, Yellowtail!
*Connie: Steven, is that...
*Steven: Light Me!!!
*Greg: My Giant son! But wait... he's not giant anymore? He's just a wee lil guy now!
*Amethyst: Mini-Ste! Haha! 
*Steven: It's like... this one's just a little glint! C'mere, Lil' Light Steven! GUYS, look at this! I found MORE vaguely magical stuff! 
*Connie: Incredible! The Prism must have created this too!
*Greg: Wow. You really do experience some amazing stuff on your missions, kiddo. It's nice being here to share it with you. I hope you know you make your old man proud. 
*Steven: Aw, Dad!
*Greg: And hey, are you hearing what I'm hearing? It sounds almost... musical! That's my department! I bet this lil magic wall wants to jam! Whoa nelly!
*Connie: Mr. Universe! It's reacting to your guitar! 
*Greg: Okay, wall! How 'bout some of this action!
*Steven: DAD! You just solve your first magic puzzle!!
*Greg: Holy mackeral! I DID! Wow, I was hoping I'd be useful on this crazy adventure, but I figured it'd be more like making everyone breakfast or something! 
*Steven: That's my Dad! Now I'm the one who's proud!
*Greg: Aw, shucks, thanks lil buddy!
*Pearl: Steven! Everyone! Thank goodness you're alright! 
*Steven: PEEEAAARRLLL!!! 
*Pearl: Garnet told me what happened. Um, sorry about the car wash, Greg. 
*Greg: Ah, it's okay, really. Just glad no one was hurt. And, y'know, I'm rich and all, so I guess I'll just buy another one?
*Pearl: Alright, well, you were all heading in the right direction. Her ship that went this way. 
*Steven: Pearl, do you know that Gem? Who is she?
*Pearl: We're going to need to move fast to have any hope of catching up with her.
*Steven: Wait! But...
*Pearl: Steven, I need you to trust me.
*Steven: You have to tell us who she is! Okay, I trust you.
*Pearl: Thank you, Steven. Let's go, everyone!
*Steven: Wow, I can't believe we're here again, journeying around the world, waging epic battles... Just another day at the office for the Crystal Gems! I should let the gang know how great they're doing! Amethyst, you're rocking it!
*Amethyst: Thanks, duder! Nice pun, by the way!
*Steven: Oh, haha! Totally intentional... Oh man, she went inside a weird triangle door! Was that always here? I wonder if Onion knew about it... Welp, I better tell the team! GUUUYYYSSSS!!! I saw the Gem! I know where she's going! 
*Amethyst: Radical! Let's do this!!
*Steven: GUUUYYYS!
*Connie: Secret door??
*Steven: SECRET DOOOOOORR!!!
*Pearl: You know the drill, Steven. Whenever we discover a big secret door like this, if we want to open it we need to...?
*Steven: Sigh... find a key thingy to put in the slot. 
*Pearl: And remember: the item we need to open this door may not be in this area. We may have to return later.
*Steven: Aw, man. That makes me feel like the Mayor of Bummertown. Gasp! 
*Hessonite: Hmmm. 
*Steven: (off-screen) HESSONITE!
*(Amethyst, Pearl, Steven and Connie arrives)
*Hessonite: Mmm? Can it be... a Crystal Gem?! So, my Prism wasn't the only thing that managed to stay intact after the Diamond's retaliation! Was it you that activated MY Prism? No wonder the poor thing's so confused. You don't even know how to use properly use it! Let me show you how it's done. Mmmhmm! That should do the trick! Isn't this nostalgic! And here I thought the war was over. Well, it will be now! Goodbye! 
*Steven: Oh man! That monster! It's... IT'S... DAVE! 
*Connie: Um, Steven? Did you just name the monster?
*Steven: Urm, well, yeah! Doesn't it seem like a big monster like this needs a name?
*Pearl: Get, ready, team!
*Steven: Oh man, it looks mad!! Oh no... 
*(Garnet arrives)
*Steven: ...so cool...
*Garnet: Hello, everyone.
*Steven: Phew, that was one tricky pickle! Phew, thanks for the safe, Garnet! Wait... the Prism! Oh man, our Prism is in another castle! Wait a minute... that Homeworld Gem... you said her name was Hessonite! Dish?? 
*Amethyst: Yeah, what's her deal?!
*Pearl: It's a long story...
*Garnet: She's a serious threat. We're going to need to act quickly. I know where we need to go. Let's head to a warp pad, team! 
*Amethyst: Wow, didn't think we'd end up back here again. 
*Steven: ...
*Pearl: Alright, let's go everyone. We need to reach the Forge. 
*Amethyst: Uh, Steven? You look as pale as Pearl! Everything okay?
*Steven: I'm... fine. We should keep moving. 
*Garnet: Leave this to me. Pow. To stand up against Hessonite, we'll need... a little upgrade. We've got another stop to make. 
*Steven: Ooh! Ooh! Future vision time??
*Garnet: You know it. Let's head back to the warppad.
*Steven: Brrrr... 
*Amethyst: Feels fine to meeee!
*Steven: L-let's-s d-d-o th-this! Urm, w-what is it we're actually doing here, again? 
*Garnet: You'll see. Let's head this way.
*Amethyst: Uh, is someone ringing?
*Steven: Oh, that's me... Myello? 
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) STEVEN!!! 
*Steven: Oh, hey Peridot! Is everything okay?
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) No! Things are objectively not okay! It's the tactical battle simulator! The, what did you call it, "Are PEE GEE"? 
*Steven: Oh, the game I lent you? What's wrong with it?
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) Yes! It's defective! No matter what I do, I can't progress. 
*Steven: Oh, that's okay! In an RPG, sometimes you just have to level up your guys before you can move forward. 
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) Level... up? Further experimentation is required. Peridot, out. 
*Steven: Oh, okay... good talk! SPA-SPA-SPA-SPACESHIIIIIP! 
*Pearl: That doesn't look like the same ship as before...
*Garnet: Let's follow it and take it out anyway. 
*Steven: There it is agaaaaain! Mysterious spaceship is mysterious!! 
*Pearl: No time to waste!
*Steven: Oh, another call! Steven Universe, speaking! 
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) Steven! You won't believe it! I LEVELLED UP!! 
*Steven: Aright!! Way to go, Peridot! I knew you could do it!
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) Yes! And now I understand why you spend so much time with this silly leisure activity! At first it seemed to serve no functional purpose, but now! Now, well, it's addictive... 
*Steven: Haha, that's games for you! 
*Pearl: Steven? The mission?
*Steven: Oh, uh, anyhoo... I'm sorta busy at the moment. Catch you later? 
*Peridot: (On Smartphone) Yes, I must acquire more of these "XP"s anyway. Goodbye, Steven! (Calls off)
*Sadie: Wow, now that's a block of ice!! Thanks, Steven! I can always count on you. Here's one of those frozen donuts, on the house! 
*Kiki: Steven! Perfect timing! Get another pie that needs to go out. This one's for Onion. At least, I'm assuming it was him. The phone call was basically just strange unintelligible noises. 
*Steven: Yep, that's probably Onion.
*Jenny: Oh, I just thought... nevermind. Woooow! This pizza cutter... I've never seen one so sharp! You're a lifesaver, Steven!! Here, this is for you! 
*Vidalia: Hey there! Still a work in progress... should be finished here soon. 
*Steven: Wow! It's gonna be so good!!
*Sour Cream: Cool, you found some. But I really need all 10. I have this thing I do not that requires 10. People love it.
*Steven: Oh. I guess that makes sense.
*Boltron: You're looking good looking on both the outside AND the inside.
*Steven: Aw, that's sweet!
*Boltron: It's dangerous to go alone.
*Steven: I'm... not sure what that's referring to?
*Boltron: Check the prize dispencer below me!
*Steven: Um, that's a really weird fortune... Oh, wait! Onion, did you order a pizza?
*Onion: Mrrmramrrum?
*Steven: I'll take that as a yes!
*Kiki: Just got call for another delivery! This one needs to go to Amethyst.
*Steven: Wait, like, our, Amethyst?
*Kiki: Yeah, unless there's another Amethyst in Beach City?
*Steven: Amethyst, did you order this pizza?
*Amethyst: Yeah, dude! Thanks, I'm starving!!
*Steven: We're supposed to be adventuring -- when did you even have time to order this?? and why did you have to pick it up instead of getting it yourself, anyway? 
*Amethyst: So I could share it with you! Here, have a slice!
*Steven: Aw, well now it got sweet!
*Kiki: Hey, Steven! Looks like I don't have any more deliveries for you. You should talk to my Dad again, though. You've been a big help... maybe he'll let you off the hook now?
*Steven: Psst... Hey, Lion... Liiiioooonnn... 
*Lion: Zzzzz...
*Steven: Just thought you should know we're on a pretty big-time adventure right now... If you wanted to wake up and join us, you're totally welcome to, y'know! 
*Lion: Zzzzz...
*Steven: No problemo, I'll just check back later! Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! 
*Lion: Zzzzz... ....? Zzzz... 
*Steven: Hmmm... Hey there, sleepyhead! Are you gonna stay awake this time?
*Lion: .... 
*Steven: Looks like third time's a charm! ... 
*Lion: ...
*Steven: Whoa! Nifty!! Thanks, Lion! Phew, things sure have been getting a bit hairy. I think the team could use a little pick-me-up! Garnet, you're the coolest!
*Garnet: Thanks. But not as cool as a boy I know who wears a star shirt.
*Steven: Hey! I know a star-shirted boy!
*Squaridot: Log date 3-9-2. Charging station relocation attempt unsuccessful. Performing diagnostics to--
*Steven: P-Peridot?! What are you doing here?? Did you beat that RPG already? 
*Squaridot: ... 
*Steven: Heyy, are those your old limb enhancers? And what's with your hair?? Wait a minute! You're not Peridot!!! You're more like a... Squaridot!! 
*Pearl: She must be working with Hessonite! Don't move! You're not going anywhere! 
*Squaridot: Gems...on Earth?
*Steven: Hey, so, Squaridot -- can I call you Squari? Look, this doesn't need to be a fight. My name's Steven, and-- 
*'Squaridot: A... Steven?
*Steven: Man, I'm getting some serious deja vu from this. 
*Squaridot: That's enough talk from The Steven!! I have very clear orders in the event of this precise scenario! Witness my attack mode, Earth Gems! And the Steven! You outdated Gem tech cannot stand up against my battle ready half levi-sphere! -- freshly issued!! Haha! My commander will reward me handsomely for your defeat! Or perhaps, dare I even think it... Recognition from Yellow Diamond herself!! Prepare for hamulating defeat, you...you PEBBLES!! Such a nuisance!! This defeat is irrelevant! Once Homeworld receives word of this, they'll crush you like the pebbles you are!! 
*Steven: Man, this is just like how it went down with our Peridot. Wait a hot minute! If this is like last time... could this be the first step to a brand new friendship?! Yay! NEW FRIIIIIENND!! Oh man, can you imagine how much fun it'd be to have TWO Peridots around?! 
*Pearl: Urm, I think one might be plenty. 
*(Garnet arrives)
*Garnet: Let's chat.
*Squaridot: GRRR!!!! By happenstance you MAY have subdued me and you MAY have commandeered my vessel, but I'll NEVER disclose my commander's whereabouts!
*Connie: Hmm, whereabouts... By Jove! Maybe her ship's computer can track Hessonite? 
*Pearl: Impressive, Connie! Well, fixing this won't be easy. It's badbly damaged, and this modern gem tech is so 
*Steven: Y'knoooow... If only we had our OWN Peridot to fix something like this! Just kidding: we totally do. TO THE BAAAARNNN!! Sorry it had to come to this, Squaridot! 
*Squaridot: I have nothing to say to you, The Steven!!
*Lapis: Oh, hey everyone. 
*(Peridot arrives)
*Peridot: Steven!! Perfect timing! My party just reached level 3!! A-and-- Um, Steven. Who is... this... 
*Steven: Hehe, uh, Peridot... meet, Squaridot!
*Squaridot: ... 
*Peridot: ...
*Steven: Right, so, uh, this is awkward...
*Squaridot: What are you doing here?! Where are your limb enhancers?! You're so... naked and detatched! What is the status of your assignment? We must report your whereabouts at once! (Unbelievable... hoe embarrassing thank the stars I'm not you.) 
*Peridot: I"M embarrassing?! Hahahaha! I think the word you're looking for is... "enlightened." 
*Squaridot: Enlightened?! 
*Peridot: Open your mind! Unhook from their machines! You don't have to do everything your superiors say! You don't have to do ANY of it! 
*Squaridot: But... that's treason... you mis-guided... PEBBLE!
*Peridot: PEBBLE?! WELL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?!
*Steven: Oh-hhho kay, you two, maybe we should break it up and--
*Peridot: YOU'RE A SHALLOW STRATA, ZETA KINGDERGARTEN... CLOD!!!!!!! 
*Squaridot: CLOD?!! ME, a Clod?! You're the Clod, CLOD!!!!
*Peridot: You're the CLODDIEST CLOD I'VE EVER SEEN, CLODDING AROUND! CLOD! CLODDD!!!!!! 
*Pearl: Wow. This is... something.
*Amethyst: Hey Lapis, please tell me you've got some popcorn up there?
*Lapis: Fresh out.
*Steven: Guys! I get it! You're so different, but also the same! I know this must be like looking into some sort of weird, angry mirror... But I'm sure we can find some common ground, right? Wouldn't it be so much nicer if you could be Peri-pals?
*Squaridot: Silence, The Steven. Your manipulate machinations are irrelevant. When my commander returns from the battlefield, she'll -- 
*Connie: Battlefield? Hessonite's at a battlefield... could it be the Strawberry Battlefield?
*Squaridot: I-uh, urm...
*Peridot: Hahaha! You've said too much!! Rookie mistake.
*Squaridot: ... RRRR!!!!!!!
*Steven: Garnet, help!!
*Garnet: HAAA!!!!
*Peridot: Well, that was disturbing to watch.
*Steven: Awww man... so much for the Peri-pals.
*Garnet: Now that that's through, let's take a look at that terminal.
*Pearl: Yes, even if Hessonite's somewhere at the battlefield, we'll need the terminal to pinpoint her exact location. Peridot?
*Peridot: Hrmm, this will take some time to repair. AND I'll need to collect some very specific materials in order to do it... That settles it!! I'M GOING WITH YOU! 
*Steven: Yay!! Our party grows!! Hey, Lapis! Do you wanna come too?
*Lapis: Eh.
*Steven: Are you suuure? It's a pretty exciting epic adventure we're going on! I'm sure everyone would love to have you be part of it!
*Lapis: Thanks, but I'm good.
*Steven: Aw, okie, dokie. Warp pad tiiiiime! 
*Peridot: Let's never speak of the Squaridot again, okay?
*Steven: More like.... Squariclod!
*Peridot: Ahahaha!! So fitting! Steven, your jokes always provide maximum hilarity! 
*Connie: It's pretty amazing how this type of stuff is our "normal", y'know? 
*Steven: That's... a good thing, right? Wouldn't have it any other way
*Connie: Yeah, you know it!
*Peridot: Shall we commence the mission?
*Garnet: This has been a big mission so far. How are you holding up?
*Steven: I'm just getting started! Could use a little nappy-poo...
*Garnet: Hang in there, Steven. No more nodding off while we're using the warp pad. 
*Steven: Oh... you saw that??
*Garnet: Time to go, Steven.
*Parl: ...
*Steven: Pearl? Everything okay?
*Pearl: I'm fine. I -- it's just... Hessonite. She's...
*Steven: No match for you!
*Pearl: Ha, Steven, you're too sweet. As always. With four of us working together, hopefully that's true. 
*Amethyst: Pretty nutty stuff, eh? So anyway, whaddaya wanna do tonight after we're done with all this Prism business? 
*Steven: Let's go out for pizzas!! You think we'll finish our quest by tonight? Video game marathon!!
*Amethyst: Awesome!! I knew I could count on you for a killer idea! 
*Greg: I've had some pretty crazy days in my time, kiddo, but this might just take the cake. 
*Steven: What about that time... ...we battled Lapis' water clones? ...we went to space?? ...we took out Two-Hundred Taco challenge?! 
*Greg: Haha, oh yeahh! Well, it's definitely a tossup between and today.
*Pumpkin: Arf, arf!!
*Connie: Um, Steven, this area looks more dangerous than the rest. If we run into trouble, we may want to consider coming back later when we're stronger?
*Steven: Awww... alrighty! Adventuring with ma buds! I'm so lucky! Let's see, who looks like they need a good ol' fashioned warm-fuzzy... Peridot, you're the best!
*Peridot: Thank you, Steven! Wait.. .the best what? 
*Steven: Oh, hmm... well, lots of stuff! You really good of making things. You tell really great jokes!
*Peridot: This is... true! In that case, Steven, you are also the best! 
*Lapis: Hey, how's it going, Steven?
*Steven: Oh! Pretty good... been a pretty busy adventure. You know how it goes.
*Lapis: Alright. Yeah. I do. Cool.
*Sour Cream: Thanks, man! You're going to make a great roadie one day. Here, let me repay you. I've got this thing that I think is a good Steven thing.
*Steven: Yay! Man, it feels like we were just here!
*Pearl: Hmm. Right... what is it with this place?
*Peridot: Steven!! Look!!
*Steven: Okay! Am... I looking at strawberries? Because there's lots of strawberries. 
*Peridot: No, no! Up there! That metal! It looks like Tungsten! I could use that to help with my repairs of the computer terminal! Wanna know how we're going to get it?? 
*Steven: If we go get Lapis, she could fly us up there! I could use my floating ability! Using metal powers!
*Peridot: Yes! Your answer is a commendable display of wisdom, Steven. The material is a bit too far away for my powers to reach. But luckily, this conveniently placed metal block isn't! Witness my usefulness!!! Nyahaha! I'm so relevant!! But sadly, this metal isn't enough. We'll need to find more. I'd say collecting approximately TEN total specimens of this size should do it. Then I can repair the terminal. And lead us directly to the Cold-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named!! 
*Steven: Cool! Well you're in luck, because I'm super good at collecting things!
*Peridot: Peridot, you've done it again! You're objectively the most invaluable member of the Crystal Gems!!!! But this still isn't enough metal! Let's keep looking! Steven!! Are you.. leaving? We haven't found all the Tungsten in this area! You want me to finish my work on the terminal, right? Excellent! That seems to be all the tungsten in this area. Onward to the next one! 
*Steven: Well, if we're seeing all these new baddies, at least that probably means she's close? That's how it works in video games, anway.
*Peridot: Such strange behavior for a Hessonite.
*Setven: Really?
*Peridot: Well, yeah. Hessonites are important military commanders. It wouldn't exactly be normal procedure for one to go around sightseeing! And if what you described is accurate, it sounds like she could be THE Hessonite. Making the whole thing even more ridiculous! Ha! 
*Steven: Whatchoo talkin' bout, Peri?
*Peridot: Only one of the most legendary war heroes on Homeworld! Actually, now that I think about it... It was the war on THIS planet that made her famous! Wielding the Prism, she handily decimated countless rebellion fighters and-- 
*Pearl: ...
*Peridot: Oh, urm, what I meant to rely is: she should have more important things to do than travelling around the Earth like this.
*Steven: Do you think she's using the Prism to build up her army again?
*Peridot: Well, then she's one unorganized commander, leaving her troops all over in silly places like this!
*Steven: Then what could she be up to? She came back to get the Prism, and now she has it! But she's going all over the world instead of leaving... or attacking. 
*Peridot: Well, I certainly wouldn't know. 
*Steven: Mysterious on top of mysterious!! 
*Peridot: That's it! This is enough to repair the terminal! And... there! Activate! 
*Steven: Yay!! So, what's it say?? Does it show where to find Hessonite? 
*Peridot: Indeed! Looks like she's at... The Sky Arena? Huh. That's a peculiar place for her to-- 
*Steven: Oh man, this one looks tough... It must be... THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE... DUKE OF STRAWBERRIES!! 
*Amethyst: Now THAT'S what I call a battle!
*Garnet: Yes. Nice job with that one maneuver back there, Amethyst.
*Amethyst: I know, right?! I was all, pssh, whoosh, bam, wha-krakk!! 
*Peridot: Ahem, as I was saying... 
*Steven: Oh yeah, where were we? Sky Arena! That's where the computer says she's currently located! Sooo... shall we? 
*Boltron: There's good times ahead in your future -- at the Funland Arcade! 
*Steven: That, uh, seems more like an advertisement than a fortune? 
*Kofi: STEEVENNN! 
*Steven: Ack! Yes??
*Kofi: Thanks for being such a big help! You've impressed me.
*Steven: Oh! Y-you're welcome!
*Kofi: This is for you!
*Steven: Ronaaaldoooo... guess what I have!
*Ronaldo: STEVEN! Is it irrefutable evidence of a dark, alternate universe, inhabited by beings that can't even be observed by mortal eyes?!
*Steven: Nope, but next best thing!! A really cool sword! For you!! 
*Ronaldo: Wow! It looks better than the one I spent my life savings on at DelmarvaCon!! Many thanks, Steven. Words cannot describe how much I value our fellowship! 
*Steven: Yay! I think this might be for you! Since you own a boat and all, that makes you a captain!
*Yellowtail: ... 
*Steven: So... looks pretty mysterious and interesting... yeah? You wanna... tell me about it??
*Yellowtail: ...
*Steven: Uh, well, perhaps the mystery is more fulfilling than the actual contents could ever be? 
*Garnet: Steven, this area is more dangerous than the rest. If we run into trouble, we should run into trouble, we should return later once we're stronger.
*Steven: Awww... alrighty!
*Hessonite: Come on! Just... do it like you used to! Can't you access your memory of this place? I'll take you back to the site of every battle we won on this miserable planet, if that's what it takes! Try to remember! Things were so good back then! You were SO much stronger! WE were UNSTOPPABLE! I can't bring you back until we get this right!! A Prism that doesn't want to be a weapon... What would they say if they saw you like this? "Hessonite! What's wrong with your Prism"?! "Oh it just... activated for someone else, that's all!" No, no, NO! THAT FORM AGAIN!! Why are you still thinking of that tiny human?! How did it put these silly ideas into your fraction!! You don't belong to him! YOU. BELONG... TO ME!!!!! 
*Steven: No! We're here to -- Really?? Again! 
*(Peridot arrives)
*Amethyst: Gugh, Peridot, this is just like when we tried to hunt you down. But worse... cause, y'know she's actually threatening.
*Peridot: Uh... thanks. Luckily, she doesn't know we're still tracking her! Though that's odd... she's returning to the Strawberry Battlefield. We were just there! This thing must need a reboot! 
*Steven: Wait isn't that... the location of the pyramid temple we blew up that one time??
*Peridot: What's with you guys and blowing up ancient temples, anyway?
*Greg: So... I guess we're heading back to that big crater?
*Steven: Okay, that DEFINTELY wasn't here before! 
*Pearl: This... we never knew of this... Welp, here goes something! 
*Steven: I guess it's kinda interesting that another super secret pyramid was here the whole time... So you guys really didn't know about this? 
*Pearl: Like you said: top secret.
*Steven: This place is so mysterious and dungeony! Oh man, what are we gonna call it?? 
*Amethyst: You're going to name it now, aren't you?
*Steven: Hmm... how about... Pyramid O' Peril. Yep, that's the one! It's official. Whoa. 
*Hessonite: Oh, look at this. Your new friends. Here to steal rightfully mine. 
*Steven: The Prism doesn't want to be with you! It doesn't want to be a weapon!
*Hessonite: You! You're the one who ruined everything! How did you override my Prism?! All my customized settings... all our hard won battles... you've scrambled its memory!
*(Peridot and Amethyst arrives)
*Peridot: HEY, you orange... fluffy... CLOD!! 
*Amethyst: Yeah!! We've fried bigger fish than you! How 'bout some of THIS! 
*Steven: NOOOO!!!
*(Garnet and Connie arrives)
*(Pearl arrives)
*Hessonite: AH, the renegade Pearl.
*Pearl: Hessonite... We clashed back then... ...you forced us back, but you never stopped us! I'll never let you win!
*Hessonite: Yes you will. We both know you're in over your head. How about instead of a fight, you just come along with me? I think I deserve a Pearl by now! You know, I'm a bit of a legend. Even without my prism, I always win. ...No? Still want to fight? What a shame... 
*Pearl: For... Rose!
*Hessonite: Rose!...
*Steven: HEY, HESSONITE! Is this what you want?! 
*Hessonite: HAAA!!!!!
*Connie: Ugh, my head...
*Sapphire: Don't worry. You're going to be fine.
*Connie: Garnet... you're... Sapphire! Steven! Where's Steven? 
*Sapphire: I cannot see him. However, we are being accompanied by the next closet thing. 
*Connie: One of the Lil' Light Stevens... And the others?
*(Peridot arrives)
*Peridot: Never fear -- Peridot is here!! AND... look what I found! 
*Connie: The cheeseburger backpack!! ...Steven... 
*Sapphire: I can take us to the others. Ruby is with them.
*Connie: Okay. We can't waste any time. Let's find them. Hey, Lil' Steven... Can you help us find actual Steven? Or your Prism? 
*Lil' Prism Steven: ...
*Connie: You can't understand me, can you? Looking at your face... I... We've gotta find Steven. 
*Sapphire: This is the way. Now we must retrieve they keys to progress. 
*Connie: We're on it! Hey, Sapphire... Hessonite, she's...
*Sapphire: Powerful. 
*Connie: Yes, and so... merciless.
*Ed: Sorry about that. Um... I guess this is the nature of having an enemy. 
*Sapphire: Not all Homeworld Gems are this way. But yes, we must not forget what we're up against.
*Connie: I won't let her get away with that she's done.
*Peridot: Hehehehe!
*Connie: Huh? What's so funny?
*Peridot: Aren't we excited? We're so... INTEGRAL this time! No sitting around at home! 
*Connie: Aren't you worried about Steven? And the others?
*Peridot: Worried? With us on the case?? We'll find him! And when we'll show that cloddy Hessonite that the New Crystal Gems mean business!! 
*Connie: Yeah! I like the sound of that! 
*Peridot: Yes!!! Can you believe it's once again up to the NEW CRYSTAL GEMS to save the day?? I knew it wouldn't be long before it came to this again! Haha! How lucky are they have us?! 
*Sapphire: Peridot?
*Peridot: Urm, yes?
*Sapphire: Best to focus. 
*Peridot: Oh... right.
*Connie: C'mon, guys! Time to find out friends. 
*Sapphire: This way. Not much further now. 
*Ruby: ARGH!!!!!!
*Pearl: Ruby... let's stay calm and think this through.
*Amethyst: I'm with Ruby! Now seems like a pretty good time to start hitting things!! 
*Ruby: YEAH!!
*Pearl: Sigh, you both know that won't get us anywhere.
*Amethyst: I dunno. DO I know that?
*Greg: Steven...
*Pearl: Greg, it's going to be alright. We'll find him.
*Greg: Yeah, I know... But... This little mini light Steven. I think it's trying to tell us something. Hey, wait!! Listen to your non-light father!! Pearl! Look at this! Gem stuff!
*Amethyst: Hey, sometimes I know about Gem Stuff too! No one ever asks me...
*Pearl: Let's see, it seems to say... "Look between the sun as it sinks into the sea. There you will find the color of the key." 
*Greg: I have no idea what that means. Sure does sound important, though.
*Ruby: (off-screen) C'mooon, let's gooo!!
*Steven: ...DAD! CONNIE?? And the Gems... they're looking for me! Hmm. How was I seeing them if I'm here... Also.. where is the blazes IS here?! Helloooo? Any mean light monsters about?? Anyone? Wow. Sparkly thing! I want to go there... Is that... YELLOW DIAMOND?? And Hessonite... Wow, this is like... some sort of home movie! A home-Homeworld movie!! Hey, another sparky! Man, I'm really starting to get sick of her. Although, she looks... happy. I don't like where this is going. Is that... ...Mom?? These visions... this was here On Earth! The Gem rebellion! ... This... this is... 
*Connie: (off-screen) STEVEN??
*(Steven woke up)
*Steven: Connie!! Guys! ...Sapphire?? Where's the others? 
*Sapphire: They're close by. I can take you to them when you're ready. 
*Steven: O-okay. I'm okay. I can walk.
*Sapphire: I know. I'm glad, Steven.
*Peridot: See! I told you guys it'd all work out!!
*Connie: Steven... are you sure you're okay?
*Steven: Something happened to me. But I saw you guys! And I think... I somehow saw the Prism's memories... 
*Connie: What?
*Steven: I saw when the Prism was with Hessonite thousands of years ago. I think I saw how she lost it.
*Sapphire: We're here.
*Greg: Steven!!
*Ruby: SAPPHIRE!!
*(Sapphire and Ruby fuse into Garnet)
*Garnet: Phew, what a relief. Looks like the gang's all back together again. 
*Pearl: Steven, are you hurt?
*Steven: No... I'm fine, really. Just feeling... a little light-headed. 
*Greg: I think we need to get you some sunlight, kiddo. Um, any of you Gems have any idea how we're going to get out of this crazy place? 
*Garnet: Looks like we're going to need to work our way up.
*Amethyst: Well, what are we standing around for? There's more adventuring to do! 
*Steven: Uh oh... hey, big guy...
*Amethyst: Yeah, you know that's right!! And tell all your friends!!
*Peridot: Well, what now? You know I lost the computer terminal during that fall, right?
*Steven: Ugh...... 
*Connie: Steven?
*Steven: Sorry, it's just... my head is killing me. I-- 
*Hessonite: What have we here... 
*Connie: Steven!!
*Steven: Oh man... I think I saw her... somehow. It seemed like she was at the Forge! 
*Peridot: What? How could she find it? Homeworld didn't know about the Forge!
*Steven: I dunno... but I guess there's only one way to find out?
*Pearl: Steven, this area is more dangerous than the rest. If we run into trouble, we should return later once we're stronger.
*Steven: Awww... alrighty! Welp, that's new... 
*Garnet: If she's here, it's for one reason only: to use the power of the Forge to upgrade the Prim's constructs. 
*Connie: Steven, how's your head?
*Steven: Still sorta... wonkey. Like when I was seeing that stuff from the Prism... If I saw Hessonite... do you think she saw me? What if that's the reason she knew about the Forge?? 
*Garnet: Steven, there's nothing you could've done to stop it.
*Steven: Yeah...
*Connie: Steven, it's... 
*Steven: ... Mom...
*Pearl: Rose... I... didn't know about this room. Bismuth must have been working on this, before... I don't think Rose knew, either. 
*Steven: ... We should keep moving... 
*Connie: Oh, hey! It fits! But looks like part of this is still missing.
*Steven: Ugh , my head.. Oh man, not again!! 
*Hessonite: (off-screen) Looks like we'll do this the hard way.
*Steven: I saw her again! She's using the Forge to make the Prism stronger somehow!! 
*Pearl: Somehow?
*Steven: Yeah, I mean... Beats me how any of this wacky Prism stuff works! This is it! Hessonite was standing right over there! 
*Greg: Hm, well she isn't here now...
*Amethyst: Surprise, surprise.
*Steven: ...but those guys are definitely are!
*Amethyst: That ain't good.
*Greg: What do we do now??
*Steven: Agghhh...
*Connie: Steven!!
*Steven: Prism vision... happening... again... So useful... yet, so painful... agh! 
*Connie: Steven, are you okay? Are you back with us?
*Steven: Yeah... and I saw more mega important stuff. She didn't go back to Homeworld. She flew to a super ginormous ship, floating just above the Earth!
*Amethyst: Oh man! How are we going to follow her now? Is this the end of the line? Game over, man! Game over! 
*Steven: Hmmm... I know a very large, very fluffy pink friend who just might be able to assist us... Uh, it's Lion, in case that wasn't obvious. To Beach City!!!! LIIIIIIOOOOOONNNNNN!!!! 
*Lion: Zzzz...
*Steven: Look, buddy, you're probably having that great dream again where you ate all the ice cream in the world, but we really need your help! Could you do us a solid, and lend us some of that patented Lion warpy magic? 
*Garnet: Steven, this is it. Are you ready to go?
*Steven: Ready, Freddy!
*Garnet: Here we are.
*Steven: Thanks, Lion! You know you my boo. 
*Citrine Guard: (off-screen) Hey... Did you just hear something?
*Garnet: Those are Citrine Guards behind that door. Best not to alert them.
*Connie: Steven, no matter what happens, we really shouldn't let my parents know I went to space.
*Garnet: Hessonite. There's no escaping this time!
*Hessonite: The day we evacuated this planet, I had to get my troops out so quickly... so fast... there was no way to go back for it. No time. Why did we have to leave so quickly, if the Crystal Gems were just going to survive?! WHY did I leave my Prism... only for someone like you to steal it?! 
*Steven: Hessonite. Listen to me. The Prism, it doesn't...
*Hessonite: Don't you dare tell me what you think it wants! Look at you, acting as though you have the moral high ground! You're a thief. You stole my property. You took my great weapon, and you broke it! Well... ha ha, you'll be relieved to know I've finally fixed it now. Isn't that right? 
*The Prism: Yes. I belong to Hessonite.
*Hessonite: You see? Now then, what's an appropriate punishment for theft and unauthorized activation for a Prism? Hm... I think... killing you, with that very same Prism. Yes, that seems VERY appropriate. 
*(The Prism transform into Spectral Conclusion)
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: ...
*Steven: Hessonite, please stop! Prism! It's me, Steven!
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: ...
*Steven: I'm here to save you!
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: I belong to Hessonite. ...
*Steven: I know you don't have to be like this!
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: ...
*Steven: Hessonite is bad! Don't listen to her! Is this really what YOU want?
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: ...
*Hessonite: End this! Now! Destroy STEVEN! 
*The Prism: Spectral Conclusion: ...
*Hessonite: UNBELIEVABLE! You're STILL listening to him!? Looks like I'll just have to deal with them myself. 
*(The Prism: Spectral Conclusion transform back into The Prism)
*Hessonite: ... it's me that's defective. I was supposed to be perfect. They always said I would be. I knew it wasn't true. I needed the Prism. Not the other way around. I lost it. I left it here. And now I can never get it back. Of course it activated for someone else. You... It should just belong to you. Take it. 
*Steven: Okay. No! It doesn't belong to anyone! It should be free to make his own choices! Did you heart that, Prism? What DO you want?
*The Prism: I want to stay on Earth.
*Steven: Light Steven! I knew you were still in there! 
*Steven: Light Steven! It's good to see you again! But... You don't have to keep being me! You can just be... You! 
*Hessonite: You're a wise little creature, aren't you? Such an amazing end. For thousands of years I wanted nothing more than to have it back. But now, here it is, and... Ha. I'm leaving it again. 
*Garnet: Hessonite. We can't let you leave here. 
*Hessonite: Let me? Ha! Maybe I'm not what they said I was. Or maybe I am. It's now my chance to go find out. 
*Garnet: Hmmm...
*Steven: You guys! We did it! We SAVED LIGHT STEVEN!!!! C'mon buddy! Whaddya say we get you home? 
*Connie: I like the sound of that!
*Peridot: Well, we did it, team! But there's still one VERY important thing left to do... 
*Steven: Uh oh! Did we forget something?? 
*Peridot: Yes! It's my other adventure... The ARE PEE Gee game!! I finished it, but there's still more to do! Now I NEED to clear it to 100% completion!! Who's with me?!
*Steven: Haha! Yeah!
*Connie: Steven, the Prism!
*Steven: Oh, Prism!!! I'm so happy you're finally free! What do you think you wanna do now? Travel the world? Start a small business? Finally catch up on that book you've been reading?? Actually, before you do any of that stuff... and this is totally up to you... Whaddaya say to hanging out one last time?? Alright!! LET'S GO OUT FOR PIZZAS!! 
*Connie: Great idea!
*Greg: Oh good, I'm starving!
*Amethyst: Aw, yeah!! I've been waiting the whole adventure for this!! 
*Pearl: Pizza, again?... oh, alright...
*Garnet: Let's do it, team! 
*Steven: YEAH!! 
----
*Steven: And... there! It's finished! Presenting: Steven Universe's Era 3 Rules for dismantling the Empire! Whatcha think??
*Blue Pearl: It's very nice. What do they say?
*Steven: Let's see... The Diamonds no longer have authority... Gem colonies are now free, independent planets... Gems must give up all weapons of war...
*Yellow Pearl: Oh! Oh! I've already reached out to Yellow Diamond's colonies and initiated the disarming process! She ordered me to overise it personally!
*Steven: That's great! But remember, you don't work for her anymore! You can keep helping if you want to -- but it's your choice! You're all free now!
*Yellow Pearl: Oh, yes, well, I-I'll just finish this one last thing!
*Pink Pearl: This is all very exciting. I certainly hope nothing goes wrong.
*Yellow Pearl: Urm, speaking of weapons... There is still the matter of the Prisms...
*Steven: Prisms? Wait, like... plural??
*Yellow Pearl: Yes, of course. It seems one Prism was already decommissioned. That leaves two more still active. However, thus far I've been unsuccessful in contacting Pyrope and Demantoid...
*Steven: Pyrope?? Demantoid???
*Blue Pearl: If they don't respond to our ultimatum, we could send a battalion to retrieve their Prisms by force.
*Yellow Pearl: Yes, that's it! We'll simply destory them to demonstrate the new guidelines for peace!
*Steven: No! no more force! No more destroying -- remember??
*Yellow Pearl: Oh, right...
*Pink Pearl: Then what is the solution, Steven?
*Steven: Hmmm... I think I know just the team for the job! We're heeeeeeere!
*Pearl: This place certainly looks... fancy.
*Garnet: C'mon team. We've got two Prisms to find.
*Amethyst: Yeeeayuhh! Let's do this thing!
*Garnet: Light constricts.
*Pearl: These must've been created by remaining two Prisms.
*Amethyst: I don't think this place got your "disarming" memo, dude.
*Steven: Hey, little light guys! I know in the old days, right about now would be battle o'clock... But we don't need to do that anymore! It's Era 3! We're all on the same side now!
*Pearl: We have no choice. They were made for only one purpose.
*Garnet: It was still a good try, Steven. Gems. Weapons!
*Steven: You're amazing as always, Garnet!
*Garnet: Thanks, Steven.
*Pearl: Hey, save some for me!
*Amethyst: Not too shabby, P!
*Pearl: Why thank you, Amethyst. But we're not in the clear yet!
*Steven: Nothing can stop you, Pearl!
*Pearl: Your encouragement is all I need, Steven!
*Steven: All in a day's work! Huh?
*Garnet: What is it, Steven?
*Steven: Did you guys see that??
*Amethyst: Oh man!! Was it something all super creepy and mysterious? Because if so, I'm here for it.
*Steven: Yes, exactly!!
*Pearl: Let's keep moving, you two.
*Steven: Hmmm...
*Amethyst: Ooo... Palace-y...
*Demantoid: ... It's you.
*Steven: Oh, um, hello giant face. Yeah, my name is...
*Pyrope: Demantoid! Who's that you're speaking to, mmm?
*Steven: Right, so, I'm --
*Pyrope: I-it's him! I'm afraid the Palace of Light is closed today. So very sorry! GOODBYE!!
*Demantoid: ...
*Amethyst: Rude!
*Garnet: Looks like we'll need to see ourselves in.
*Pearl: This barrier appears to be Prism tech but... even more advanced than what we saw last time. I'm not sure we're going to unlock this.
*Amethyst: Maybe we can ask this guy?
*Pearl: Steven! Is that your old prism??
*Steven: No way!! What are you doing here, little buddy?? I thought you went off to see the world! Not this world, of course -- the other one! Y'know, Earth!
*Prism: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Oh? You wanna show us something? Wow!! Is this the new you??
*Prism: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Amethyst: What's it saying, Steven??
*Steven: The Prism just chose a name! Everyone, meet George!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: You look so great!! I'm so proud of you!
*Amethyst: George!! That's mah bo right there!!
*Garnet: Welcome to the team, George.
*Steven: Oh, I guess he needs to rest.
*Garnet: And we need to look forward. Look.
*Amethyst: Well, that worked out. More Light losers! Steven, where's our new secret weapon??
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: He doesn't wanna fight unless he absolutely has to! It's okay, George! I know you don't wanna be a weapon anymore. You don't have to! I just know you're gonna be a big help in each other important ways!
*Amethyst: Eh, no big. We got this.
*Steven: GUYS! I can't believe I almost forgot! When in a pickle, you can always count on... The CHEESEBURGER BACKPACK! Ooo! Ooo!
*Garnet: What is it, Steven?
*Steven: T-T-TREASURE CHEST!!!
*Garnet: That's the spirit. Why don't you do the honors, Steven.
*Steven: Eeeeee!
*Amethyst: Haha! You still get so jazzed over stuff like this, huh?
*Steven: How could you not!! Well, do ya do, Warp Pad! I'm sure you'll come in handy later!
*Garnet: Another refracted light barrier.
*Steven: Hey, George... could you lend us a hand?
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Aw, it's okay, little buddy. Thanks for trying!
*Garnet: This barrier is more fortified than the last. We'll need to find keys to unlock it.
*Amethyst: Uuuuugh! Keys?? That's always so much work...
*Pearl: Unless... Got it! There she is. I've accessed a backdoor into her transmissions.
*Demantoid: ...I'm en route to Crystal System Colony 215. Phase one is underway.
*Pearl: CSC-215. It's a mining colony on a small moon. One of Yellow's Pretty remote, from the looks of it.
*Garnet: If we can't proceed further into the Palace, we must pursue Demantoid directly.
*Amethyst: That's what I'm talking about! Let's get this show on the road!
*Steven: Let's do it to it. Am I missing something here? Don't worry, guys. Once we find Demantoid, there's still a chance she'll hear us out and release her Prism.
*Garnet: Yes. But we must also prepare for the opposite scenario.
*Pearl: Demantoid... we need more intel on her. You guys get a head start on that moon. I have a different lead to follow.
*Steven: Okay, be careful, Pearl!! Maybe one of our other friends will wanna tag along?
*Garnet: Here we are.
*(Lapis arrives)
*Steven: Lapis, you came!
*Lapis: Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Looking forward to helping out this time.
*Steven: Hooray for friends!! When it comes to fantastical prism adventures. Third times a charm.
*Lapis: I'm so ready for this. And that's how it's done.
*Garnet: Steven, look.
*Lapis: Cool key. Looks important.
*Steven: Oh man! We can totally use this key on that rainbow door in the palace!
*Amethyst: Sweet! Now we can go lay the smackdown on those two Prism Punks!
*George: ...
*Amethyst: ...no offense, George. Whaddya say, Steve-o? Should we head back to that crazy ol' palace?
*Steven: You know it!
*Garnet: Not so fast. The rainbow barrier had three locks. Three locks means three keys.
*Amethyst: You're bumming me out so hard right now.
*Steven: I'm sure we'll find the other two soon. Let's keep going!
*Lapis: Hey, Steven, y'know what this adventure totally reminds me of? One of those "Are Pee Gee" games you've been showing me! Although I guess none of us have swords... or spikey hair... But otherwise, pretty similar!
*Steven: Lapis, you're speaking my language right now!! Oh, man!! It's... another Peridot!
*Demantoid's Peridot: Gasps! You are STEVEN!
*Garnet: Steven, be careful.
*Amethyst: Yeah, uh, meeting new Peridots never seems to go well for us.
*Demantoid's Peridot: I will now give you what you deserve...
*Steven: Oh -- w-wait, there's no need for that! Let's just --
*Demantoid's Peridot: Take... THIS!! ...COLONY 215 OUTPOST K-3 SALUTE!
*Steven: Oh?
*Lapis: I-is that it?
*Demantoid's Peridot: I am honored to recieve you, New Leader Steven!
*Steven: Oh, w-well, that's very nice, but you can just call me Steven! And I'm not really your lead--
*Demantoid's Peridot: The workers of this colony have diligently studied your broadcast every solar cycle! That is, until Demantoid blacklisted all channels from Homeworld... And banned speaking of you entirely, now that I think about it... Whoops.
*Lapis: Where we can find Demantoid?
*Demantoid's Peridot: Oh, I'm afraid that sort of knowledge greatly exceeds my position. I'm just in charge of continually pressing these buttons here.
*Steven: Don't sweat it. And hang in there, Peri Pal!
*Demantoid's Peridot: Yes, My Steven!
*Steven: This sure does look mystical and important!
*Lapis: Any bets on what it actually does?
*Steven: No idea! But if I know anything about magic mystery puzzles, the answer lies further ahead! Right, Garnet?
*Garnet: That's right.
*Lapis: Guess that answers that.
*Steven: So cool!! Guys, look at this.
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: M-My Steven! I, a lowly Peridot, am underserving of this honor!!
*Amethyst: Man, Steven, you really are a big time celebrity now, huh? Can I get your autograph??
*Lapis: Ha, you really a celebrity now, Steven.
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: I PRESENT TO YOU: MY SALUTE!!
*Steven: Oh, n-no, you don't need to...
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: ...
*Steven: Um, at ease?
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: What are your orders, My Steven?
*Steven: Well, your colony is free now! So, to start with: you don't have to keep taking orders!
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: B-but... then... how will I know what I'm supposed to do??
*Steven: Whatever you want! As long as it's peaceful! Maybe you and the other Peridots could discuss what you want for your colony?
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: I-If that's your command, My Steven!
*Amethyst: Yeah, uh, I think it's gonna take awhile for them to get used to this concept, dude.
*Lapis: Yeah, I'm thinking it's gonna take awhile for them to get used to this concept.
*Demantoid's Peridot 3: Grrr...
*Steven: Why so glum, chum?
*Demantoid's Peridot 3: First it was all those little people thing getting in my way, now it's my terminal on the fritz! Could this day get any more annoying?!
*Steven: Maybe we could help?
*Demantoid's Peridot 3: I mean, if you happen to have a spare f-capacitor on you, sure...
*Steven: Hmmm... I'm on it!
*Demantoid's Peridot 3: Oh, really? On second thought, let's make that ten capacitors.
*Steven: Thanks, Warp Pad. This should work.
*Lapis: Get away from my friends. You're a lifesaver.
*Garnet: Thanks, Steven.
*Steven: You go, Steven. I believe in me. I know you can do it. Here I go. It's, it's, it's so cool. No can do.
*Demantoid's Peridot 4: ... I am permitted to speak with you.
*Steven: Why not?
*Demantoid's Peridot 4: I would tell you... but that would be speaking with you.
*Steven: This calls for? How about this?
*Amethyst: This is the ninth thousand upgrade you know.
*Steven: Can do.
*Lapis: I'm doing my best.
*Steven: I'm up. Sorry, guys. Okay. So now I know what knocks do.
*Garnet: We're just getting started.
*Steven: Peeeeeaar!!
*Pearl: Hello Steven! Hello everyone!
*Steven: So?? What's the skinny?
*Pearl: It's just as we feared. Now that the Empire's ended and the Diamonds are no longer in charge... Gems like Pyrope and Demantoid see an opportunity to step in. And as Prism-bearers, these two might be powerful enough to do it.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: If we can just find them, I can talk to them! Show them it doesn't need to be this way. We can have all peace in Era 3!
*Garnet: Don't worry, Steven. We'll get them to you. And we'll make them listen.
*Pearl: Pyrope will be... resistant, to say the least. She has quite the reputation. As for Demantoid -- I actually don't know much about her. She's an Era 2 Gem. Younger.
*Steven: Then we're on the right track. If Demantoid's here on the moon, we can start with her.
*Lapis: Sounds like a plan to me. Let's fish this. Girl, you've got this.
*Pearl: I'll do it for them!
*Steven: I know you can do it. Garnet's the coolest. You can do this. Here I go. Catch. Secrets! Let's do it to it.
*Lapis: So where to?
*Pearl: Let's pick up where we left off shall we?
*Lapis: Get away from my friend.
*Pearl: Not bad, Lapis.
*Garnet: Watch this.
*Steven: Don't worry. I had an extra guy. What's this doing here? Cheeseburger Backpack don't leave home without it. Item, I choose you.
*Lapis: I'm sorry. I let you guys down. Hey, thanks, Steven.
*Steven: I've got just the thing. Guys, how about this? Guess what time it is? Oh, I'm on to you, Super Secret Room. Yay! Stuff!
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: You... you're Steven!
*Steven: Sure am! Hello!
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: And is that... a Prism?!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: Incredible... what I wouldn't give to get my hands on that tech. Can you imagine? A Peridot with a Prism??? Ha... ha... Ahahahahahahahaha! I am quite adept at the comedy!
*Lapis: This one reminds me of a certain other Peridot I know... Oh. Are you sure? Ready when you are.
*Steven: Hey, wait! We're not to bad if you get to know us... Whoa.
*Pearl: Here's the Kindergarten. Demantoid could be nearby.
*Amethyst: Pffftt, you call this a Kindergarten?
*Pearl: Stick together, team. Let's move.
*Steven: Alrighty then...
*Garnet: Gems. Let's show them what we've got.
*Lapis: They're no match for us.
*Pearl: Okay, you light constructs... School is about to be in session! Not literally, but as a figure of speech!!!!
*Steven: You guys are the best. Let's do it to it! I know where I put it in here somewhere.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Pearl: George... did you downloaded this map from those constructs?
*Lapis: Good boy, George.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Lapis: Well, seems like Demantoid isn't here. Maybe that planet's our next stop?
*Steven: Makes sense to me! Our interplanetary adventure continues!!
*Garnet: Are you ready, Steven?
*Lapis: Well, this place is a mess.
*Pearl: It appears to be only partially colonized. A work in progress. Steven, this planet is a Demantoid conquest.
*Steven: The sooner we find her, the sooner we can convince her to stand down and free her Prism. Hey! Are the light guys... building stuff? Whoops. I guess that means it's battle time. We've been a lot together, backpack.
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Eyyy! You're that Steven guy, right??
*Steven: Sure am! And you're a Bismuth!
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Ha! You're as smart as they say! By the way, thanks for the whole "overthrowing the Diamonds" thing. If you ask me, they had it comin'. Although I've gotta tell ya, things still ain't so great on this colony. Not with all these light contructs running amok. They've completely taken over. Don't know what, but it can't be good.
*Steven: Hmm...
*Pearl: Hmmm...
*Steven: Ooo, I bet Pearl's about to drop some interesting knowledge!
*Pearl: Based on the designation written here, this planet may have been one of the Empire's most recent conquests.
*Steven: I was right! This IS interesting!
*Pearl: Or should I say: one of it's last, thanks to Steven's Era 3.
*Steven: Yeah!
*Demantoid's Bismuth: UGH! Can you believe this?? Building new colonies is BISMUTH work! Not something meant for these... things! And look at the lousy job they're doing! It's all so sterile! There's no life to it! It's like they always say: if you want a job done right, always hire a Bismuth!
*Lapis: Good to know.
*Steven: Oh, it looks like a Bismuth coming over to say something. Wait a minute! That's not A Bismuth... that's Bismuth!
*(Bismuth arrives)
*Bismuth: Fancy seeing you rocks here.
*Steven: BISMUTH!!!!
*Garnet: Nice of you yo join us.
*Pearl: Bismuth! What are you doing here??
*Amethyst: What's shakin', Bis?
*Bismuth: Well, y'know, I WAS busy getting started on our special lil Earth project... But then I got your message, Steven. About everything going on with those pesky Prisms, and--
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Oh, yeah -- almost forgot! Bismuth, meet George!!
*Bismuth: Well, I'll be. One of these days, Steven, you'll run out of ways to surprise me. But now it's my turn to blow some minds! Check this out.
*Lapis: It's a... box.
*Steven: A FANCY box!
*Bismuth: Ha! This here's a one-of-a-kind Prism Containment chest! It's a little something I built during the rebellion. Back when we were dealin' with Hesso--
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Bismuth: ...ohh, uh, nobody in particular... Snatch a Prism in this baby, and you'll completely disable it. At least for a little while.
*Garnet: That'll come in handy.
*Pearl: This really could be our secret weapon against Pyrope and Demantoid's Prisms... but do you think it'll work?
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Oh, you bet your facets it'll work! I never had a chance to use it, of course... But hey, if it doesn't work... I'll just give those uppercuts a lil taste of my hammer.
*Steven: Wait... Bismuth! Are you saying what I think you're saying?
*Demantoid's Bismuth: You know it, little man! C'mon! Let's get down to BISMUTH! Why would they transfer all us Bismuths to a new colony, and then take us off the job? And those things replacing us -- you know they're not even Gems? Without my work, I... I don't know what I'll do.
*Steven: Don't worry. The Crystal Gems are here to help!!
*Pearl: Stay focused.
*Garnet: Show me your moves.
*Lapis: I'm ready when you are.
*Steven: What's this doing here? Let's boogie.
*Lapis: So where to?
*Pearl: Everything I am. I'm giving on the battlefield.
*Steven: Let me try this. I'm up. Easy peasy.
*Garnet: For Rose.
*Steven: Come on, Pearl. Dance with me.
*Lapis: Ready when you are.
*Steven: Oh, yeah. That's a keeper.
*Garnet: Are you ready, Steven?
*Steven: I've got just the thing. Our space barrier adventure continues. Let's do it to it.
*Pearl: Let me introduce to you to Bad Pearl. For Rose.
*Lapis: I owe ya.
*Pearl: It's not over.
*Steven: Guess what time it is?
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Can ya believe this? Bismuths, not building. What's next? Nephrites that don't fly?
*Steven: Secrets!
*Garnet: There she is.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Demantoid: ...
*Steven: Soooo, you must be Demantoid.
*Demantoid: You are Steven!
*Steven: Yep, that's me! Heeey, look, I know how these encounters usually go. But whaddya say we skip the whole battling part and just have a nice chat instead?
*Demantoid: ...
*Steven: Uh, great. Sooo, you wouldn't happen to already know about Era 3, would you?
*Demantoid: I do.
*Steven: Oh, perfect! Right so, the idea is that the Diamonds are no longer in charge, and --
*Demantoid: It's true. The old ways of the Empire are absolute. As are the Diamonds. Old Gems ruin everything. That's why new Gems like us have to fix it.
*Steven: Uh, sure... but I'm sorta getting the vibe that we're not completely on the same page...
*Demantoid: We agree that a new era is needed. But we diverge on how to archieve it. Before I can rebuit it, I need to break down what is left.
*Steven: Ah man, and you were off to sich a great start there...
*Demantoid: You've taken Hessonite's Prism.
*George: ...?
*Demantoid: You should be aware that it won't matter. I've upgraded my Prism to reach a higher potential. Just like what I'm building here. Now I will provide you a glimpse of my Era 3.
*Pearl: You're no match for the Crystal Gems.
*Demantoid: Prism, engaged.
*Steven: This calls for... cool. Hey, guys, how about this? One bubble coming right up. It's this the end of Steven Universe?
*(Bismuth arrives)
*Bismuth: Steven, I've got the Containment Chest ready! Just gotta distract the little lump long enough to get near her Prism.
*Steven: Right! On it like a bonnet!
*Demantoid: ... Just embrassing.
*Bismuth: Argh!
*Steven: Bismuth!!
*Demantoid: What rudimentary tech is this?
*Bismuth: Steven, don't worry about me! You gotta get that box back!
*Steven: No way, you're in trouble! Hold on, we'll save you!
*Bismuth: It's fine -- I've got this! Just get the box!
*Lapis: Steven, what do we do??
*Garnet: Steven, we must move quickly!
*Demantoid: Hm.
*Bismuth: Steven, the box.
*(Demantoid's Bismuths arrives)
*Demantoid's Bismuth: 'Ey!! Demantoid! We need to have a lil chat.
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: Yeah! We got some ideas to discuss. 'Bout a lil thing called workers rights.
*Demantoid's Bismuth 3: C'mon Bismuths. Magic triangle or not, there's only one of her and tons of us!
*Bismuth: Now we're in Bismuth.
*Demantoid: Hm.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Lapis: Welp, there goes that box.
*Bismuth: That ain't good. Without the Containment Chest, we're seriously outmatched by two Prisms.
*Steven: I'm sorry, Bismuth...
*Bismuth: Ah, what the heck. Who doesn't love an underdog story, am I right? And thanks for saving me, Steven? Don't look so down. Here's a little something to perk you up.
*Demantoid's Bismuth: So... I guess Demantoid's really gone...
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: Yeah, now what? Who's in charge?
*Steven: That's up to you guys! You can choose your own leader and your own rules! You can hold a fair election!
*Demantoid's Bismuth 3: Wow. That-- that all sounds great!
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Yeah!
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: Thanks, Steven! And Earth Gems!
*Lapis: Soooo where to from here?
*Steven: That's.. a very good question. If I were a Demantoid, where I would go next...
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Maybe Colony 4?
*Demantoid's Bismuth 3: You mean Yellow 4?
*Demantoid's Bismuth: No no, Blue 4. Yellow 4 was obliterated by that black hole, remember?
*Demantoid's Bismuth 3: Oh, right. Shame.
*Demantoid's Bismuth: I overheard Demantoid going on 'bout Blue Colony 4. Seems we 'sposed to transfer there for some work, before all those light guys showed up.
*Lapis: Well, I'd call that a lead.
*Steven: Thanks, Bismuths! Oh, yeah. That's a keeper.
*Garnet: Blue Diamond Colony 4. This colony is very...
*Amethyst: Old?
*Garnet: Yup. Pyrope is ruled this planet. Though she is not currently here. She's still holed up back at the palace of hers.
*Steven: Hm. Even if Pyrope and Demantoid aren't here, maybe we can gather more information about them? And we can keep spreading the word about Era 3 -- that all Gems are now liberated and free! Oh -- and we can can also help keep all the Gems on this colony safe from the light constructs! Oh, oh! And also collect more rainbow keys!!
*Pearl: Ha, ha, alright, Steven. One thing at a time.
*Steven: Hello there!
*Pyrope's Jade: Oh my, you must be an off-wonder... We haven't had an off-wonder in, oh, one thousand three hundred and forty eight years. Not that I'm keeping count.
*Steven: Wow, really? That's a long time...
*Amethyst: Huh. Steven, I don't think this Gem recognizes you. Hey, you... haven't you seen Steven's Homeworld broadcasts?
*Pyrope's Jade: Oh my stars, no. We are not permitted to recieve transmissions from Homeworld. Or anywhere else.
*Amethyst: Yeah, that ain't good. I've got this, P.
*Pearl: Wait for it. Hey.
*Steven: I've got just the thing. Ite, I've choose you? How about? Do you thing, thing.
*Pearl: And? There. Stay on target. Ha, ha.
*Garnet: Thanks, Steven.
*Steven: You can do this.
*Pyrope's Jade 2: Please, leave me be. The constructs will see me speaking with an outsider...
*Steven: Hmmm. I don't like what I'm hearing. Not one bit.
*Pearl: Oh, thanks, Steven.
*Steven: Next stop more adventure.
*Pearl: Let's get to work, Gems. Just need perfect opening. Wait for it. There. Thank you, Steven. Let's go, Rainbow 2.0. Let's see them stand against this.
*Amethyst: Yeah, I've met to that happen.
*Steven: No can do. One bubble coming right up.
*Lapis: Leave this to me. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Let's fish this.
*Pearl: Stay focused. So, this is the place of light, huh? It's certainly fancy.
*Lapis: Hey thanks, Steven.
*Steven: Bubble time. You've gotta love yourself.
*Pearl: More locked doors? Well, that's just great.
*Hessonite: It's okay, Pearl! We're key-finding-pros! It'll be easy-peasy!
*Pearl: At least your optimism makes this sort of thing more bearable, Steven.
*Hessonite: (off-screen) Hm hm hm hm!
*Lapis: Wait... did you guys hear something?
*Pearl: That laugh... It sounds like...
*(Hessonite arrives)
*Hessonite: Greetings, Crystal Gems!
*Pearl: It can't be...
*Steven: No way...
*Hessonite: Fear not! I, your intriguing new companion, have come to after my invaluable assistance! Waste not your energy deducing my identity! For none are able to discover my rue name...
*Steven: HESSONITE?!
*Hessonite: I--- urm...
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Oh, George! It's okay! We won't let anything happen to you.
*Hessonite: HA! You think *I* could possibly be the Great Hessonite?? If only I could be as brilliant, strong, dashing, and incredibly humble as the Legendary Hero Hessonite! Ha ha ha ha ha! You are quite adept at the comedy! So funny.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Amethyst: Uh, tell me she's joking.
*Garnet: This is no laughing matter. You still need to answer for --
*Hessonite: Answers, yes! You seek answers. Of course you do! Be amazed, Crystal Gems! For I, your ambigous ally, shall now reveal the very anaswer you seek! To unlock the puzzle of the rainbow barrier and proceed deeper into the Palace of the Light, you must... Are you ready? You may want to hot this down. You must... obtain a rainbow key!
*Amethyst: ...
*Steven: ...
*Hessonite: Yes, yes. I know this revelation solves everything for you. You're welcome! And with that -- we shall meet again!
*Amethyst: Uuuugh! We knew that already!!
*Lapis: What was *that* about?
*Pearl: I wondered when we'd see her again. But I didn't quite anticipate... that.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: You heard what she said, George. She wasn't Hessonite at all... totally someone else...
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Maybe we should avoid talking about Hess altogether. C'mon... On that note: we've got more keys to find. What's this doing here?
*Pearl: Everything I am. I give on the battlefield.
*Steven: Guys, look at this.
*Lapis: Hey. Sure, I'll take it.
*Pearl: Let's picked where we left off shall we?
*Garnet: This place gives me a hippie geez.
*Lapis: Let me handle this.
*Steven: Let's try this. Sorry. Catch.
*Pearl: Just what I needed.
*Steven: Do your thing, thing.
*Lapis: I'm okay. Really.
*Steven: Here I go. Catch. You go, Steven. Got it.
*Pearl: Everything I am. I give ons the battlefield.
*Steven: Now, that's what I called loot. What if I could?
*Pyrope: Oh my my my, what is this! Such sneaky uninvited guests!
*Steven: Pyrope, listen to me! I'm Steven and --
*Pyrope: Yes yes, I know who you are. I had hoped you'd take the hint when we closed the door. But you're a persistent little one, aren't you? Although, I must admit. It's much more fun this way. Oh yes. I'll be watching you... Tee hee hee!
*Pearl: Oh I defintely won't be getting along with her.
*Bismuth: Yeah, not a fan of her type.
*Steven: Just another day at the office. So... I guess we'll just keep going then.
*Garnet: Are you ready, Steven?
*Steven: I'm gonan go with this.
*Pearl: Whoopsy daisy.
*Lapis: You're a life saver.
*Bismuth: Lapis, take five. Open for business. Here we go.
*Lapis: I'm sorry. I let you guys down.
*Steven: It's, it's so cool! Yay, stuff!
*Garnet: I'm stronger than you.
*Lapis: Just what I needed.
*Garnet: Thanks, Steven.
*Steven: Don't worry. I'm here.
*(Hessonite arrives)
*Hessonite: Oh, Crystal Ge~emms~~
*Lapis: Oh boy, here we go again.
*George: ???
*Steven: Sshhh, George, it's nothing. Go back to sleep.
*Hessonite: BEHOLD! Your icognito idol here returned!
*Steven: Are you here to help us again?
*Hessonite: But of course! Aren't you GEms so lucky. This time, I come bearing a gift that shall greatly aide your quest. It is --
*Pyrope: Tee hee hee!
*Hessonite: Oh goodie.
*Pyrope: My, my, what do we have here? Do you sneaky little gems make a new friend? Quaint! But ultimately pointless. It matters not how many allies you add to your little posse. Tee hee hee hee!
*Hessonite: Oh, just let her droll on. Before long something shiny will distract her.
*Pyrope: Did you know this palace once resided on Blue Diamond's Colony 4? I had it relocated once the semi-precious stones moved their living quarters too close to the outer gates. Just filthy. I do say they were quite distressed, you know. To have their beloved Pyrope rule from a whole world away.
*Hessonite: Any moment now.
*Pyrope: But it can't be helped. You see-- What's this? An unviewved message on channel 3? Oh, bother.
*Hessonite: There we are. Now where was I?
*Steven: Um, something about the gift?
*Hessonite: Oh! That's right! A gift imperative to your quest! It is... Right over there. In that treasure chest. Ta ta.
*(Hessonite jumps away)
*Bismuth: I'm just... not even gonna bother saying what we're all thinking.
*Garnet: Steven, look out!
*Lapis: Better late and never.
*Steven: I know I put in here somewhere. I'm gonna go with this.
*(Hessonite arrives)
*Hessonite: You're in luck, Crystal Gems...
*Lapis: Uh huh...
*Hessonite: Your favorite covert companion is here with a tip so amazing, you'll just want to shatter! You may want to sit down for this. It's --
*Pyrope: Tee hee heeee!
*Hessonite: Ugh, you've got to be kidding!
*Pyrope: You're all still here! What a surprising.
*Hessonite: Yes, well, we're fine here, Pyrope. Why don't you go back to --
*Demantoid: They're already here...
*Hessonite: Demantoid, please the adults are talking.
*Pyrope: Oh ho ho! This one's certainly dharp the facets.
*Demantoid: (Sighs) You're aware that Hes--
*Pyrope: Who is that Gem, anyway? I like her sparkle!
*Demantoid: (Sighs) We need to prepare. Let's take this offline.
*Pyrope: Oh, but they're so fun to watch! Though I suppose they'll be shattered soon anyway.
*Hessonite: I swear these two are going to be the end of me. Now, where were we. Ah, yes! My incredible revelation! Are you ready?
*Lapis: Yes. Yes we are.
*Hessonite: During the Rebellion, there were rumors the Crystal Gems created a mighty weapon to contain the Prisms... Supposedly it was some sort of powerful... box. If you find that... you might be able to stop them.
*Bismuth: You don't say.
*Steven: Cooool... good to know... I-is that it?
*Hessonite: No need to thank me! Bye bye!
*(Hessonite jumps away)
*Bismuth: What can I do you for? Nice.
*Steven: Hey.
*Lapis: Steven! Okay, that hurt.
*Bismuth: Here this would work.
*Steven: Everything's gonna be different.
*Bismuth: Can I fix it? You bet I can. Ooh. This will charge some heads.
*Steven: Let's use an item. Game over for me.
*Garnet: Just a scratch.
*Lapis: Garnet, anytime. Garnet, let me try.
*Steven: Let's see. Should I try a new badge? Maybe a lot of new upgrades?
*Lapis: Hey.
*Garnet: This is Garnet. Back together. I'll take it.
*Bismuth: Here I go.
*Steven: Let's try this.
*Lapis: Let me handle this.
*Steven: Garnet's the coolest. I know you can do it. It's this the end of Steven Universe? I can do this.
*Garnet: This is Garnet. Back together.
*Bismuth: Back in business.
*Steven': It's... It's so cool. Hey, it's my page.
*Garnet: I will fight for a place when I'm free.
*Bismuth: Did you "bis" miss me?
*Steven: We can do this. Together.
*Pyrope: Oh my. You've really made it all the way here. Well, come on over. Let me have a look at you. Did you enjoy the Palace? How did you find out hospitality? You've quite lucky, you know. My Gems, they'd dissipate their forms for a chance to stroll these halls again. And who could blame them? They love me so much. As does my Prism. As do all Gems!
*Bismuth: Wow. This one might just be the crustiest of the uppercuts.
*Garnet: You are delusional.
*Pyrope: (Sighs) Yes, yes, they all adore their perfect Pyrope. You see, it's why I couldn't even following these little rules of yours, Steven. Gems need a ruler, they're lost without one. That's just how Gems are. If not the Diamonds, why not someone already so beloved? And a Prism-bearer, at that! It's as if I was made for this. And Demantoid, she's part of this too I suppose. But with that winning personality, who would follow her? Even with all those big ideas and fancy technology, she knew it would take my legions of loyal subjects to pull off our coup.
*Lapis: Are you done yet?
*Steven: Pyrope, it's not too late for you to set things right. Stand down and release your Prism. There can still be a place for you in Era 3!
*Pyrope: Tee hee! You don't understand, dear. I'm a Garnet. A Prism-bearer. I've held my colony strong for thousands for years. And most important of all. I was made perfect in every way. Ever since the day I came out that wall. As you can see, there's just so many reasons why they all love me. If you think you can stand against all of that, well you're wrong.
*Bismuth: Finally, now that all that chit chat's outta the way...
*Pyrope: You know, you really have been quite the unruly houseguests. Oh, Prism! I think it's time we see our guests out.
*Bismuth: Let's show her that Crystal Gems means business.
*Pyrope: No, no.
*Bismuth: This one ready to roll.
*Garnet: Good job, Steven.
*Lapis: Okay, that hurt.
*Steven: How about? Here you go.
*Pyrope: Such fun. Prism, take care of these unwanted guests.
*Bismuth: Pssst, Steven! The containment chest is over there!! If I can just get to it, this time I --
*(Demantoid arrives)
*Pyrope: There you are! About time you finally joined us. What were you doing, anyhow? You little Prism tinkerin' again?
*Demantoid: ... You've made a mistake.
*Pyrope: What's that?? Speak up for once!
*Demantoid: Same mistake you always make. You underestimated them.
*Pyrope: Oh, well you're just so helpful as always, Demantoid. Can we not do this now?
*Hessonite: (off-screen) She's right you know.
*Demantoid: What?
*(Hessonite arrives)
*Hessonite: They're much stronger than you could ever know. And I, ever so fabulous and alluring mystery hero, stand with them! You silly Garnets are all washed up.
*Pyrope: Hmm. Are we now? You know it's already quite rude to be an uninvited guest. But to also hide your face... It just won't do. HESSONITE?! What!! H-how can this be!!
*Demantoid: You really didn't know?
*Hessonite: Yes, it is true! It was I, the great Hessonite, all along!! I single-handedly orchestrated the Crystal Gem's success, all while remaining completely incognito! As we all know, the old Hessonite knew nothing but constant fame and glory! But this is the new me! That's right -- I once was the greatest war hero Gem of all time. And now... I AM THE MOST HUMBLE GEM OF ALL TIME!
*Demantoid: Sigh.
*Pyrope: This is just absurd! Even for you! Though I suppose that finally explains what this Steven is doing with your Prism.
*Hessonite: Why yes, I liberated my prism even before Steven's decree. You know how I'm always ahead of the curve. Try not to be jealous, Pyrope. It doesn't suit you.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Hessonite: Oh, Prism... You needn't be alarmed by me anymore...
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: George! It's okay!
*Demantoid: You can still join us.
*Hessonite: Hm hm hm hm! Don't you realize I'm already on the winning side?
*Demantoid: I'm not talking to you.
*Hessonite: What...
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: George, no!! Let go of him!
*Hessonite: How dare you!!
*Pyrope: Tee hee hee hee! All three Prisms together again! Just as it should be.
*Demantoid: Let us usher in the New Empire.
*Garnet: This is it, team.
*Steven: We'll save you, George.
*Lapis: Stay away from my friends.
*Bismuth: Open for Bismuth. Here we go.
*Steven: Bubble time!
*Bismuth': This will pack a punch.
*Steven: I know I put it in here somewhere.
*Hessonite: Steven, how know now I don't like losing. We're going to need a new strategy if we hope to finish this.
*Steven: If we can just get George out of there... it might uniform the monster! GEORGE! I know you're still in there!
*George: ???
*Bismuth: It heard you, Steven. Quick, try again!
*Steven: George, think about everything we've been through!
*George: ???...
*Steven: Think about all the amazing work you've done on yourself! You've come so far!
*George: ...
*Lapis: It's working...
*Steven: George, you don't have to --
*Demantoid: ...
*Steven: Mmmff! Mmff!
*Lapis: Steven!
*Hessonite: Prism!
*George: ...?
*Hessonite: I've been watching you from afar this whole time. What Steven taught you... it's the same thing he taught me. We don't have to do terrible things we were made for. I know I held you back from that for so long. I'm sorry. Don't fall back into that form, Prism! This isn't you. Not anymore. You're... George!
*George: !
*Demantoid: No! Don't listen to her!! You are where you belong! You are complete!
*Pyrope: ...
*Steven: George! You were great, little buddy! And you too, Hessonite. Not too shabby.
*Hessonite: But of course, winning is what I do, you know, and -- I mean, thank you, Steven.
*Pyrope: Fine, have your inferior Prism back! We don't need it! We still have two! Prisms, attack! Demantoid, t-tell them!
*Demantoid: I'm done taking orders from you. You're obsolete.
*Pyrope: What are you talking about?? This is clearly not the time for your Era 2 rebelliousness!
*Demantoid: No!!! My Prism!!! My modified limb enhancers!!
*Pyrope: Well, you deserve it! This is all your fault, after all!
*Demantoid: MY fault?! You're the one who just sat here in your room the entire time! Like you always do!! While I do all the work!
*Pyrope: Oh! You tiny, tiny excuse for a Gem! I'll have you know that --
*Demantoid: Argh!!!
*Lapis: Well, I guess that's that.
*Garnet: Pitiful. And they call themselves Garnets.
*Amethyst: I don't know if you guys noticed, but pretty sure we just won.
*Hessonite: (Laughs) Well, Crystal Gems, I'll be sticking around. Might as well make some changes around here. Maybe even open this ridiculous palace back up to Gemkind. And worry not. I'll be sure to look after these too. Who knows, perhaps one day they can become as enlightened, heroic, and humble as I have. After all. Seems like anything's possible in your Era 3, Steven.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Bismuth: Oh? You want me to?...
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Hooray! You're all free!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Aw, shucks. It isn't all thanks to me! You had to make those choices on your own, George! Maybe you can teach these two all about it!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Oh yeah... I think you're right. You are home! I'm gonna miss adventuring with you, George.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Hey, anytime you wanna visit again -- I'm just a few warps away! Next time you come by, maybe I can show you that RPG I was telling you about. Now that I think about it... I never did beat that game!
*Pearl: Steven, don't forget... There's still colonies we'll need to check in on if we want to ensure every Gem's planet's been liberated.
*Steven: Oh yeah! Guess there's still more work to do. Are you guys... still up for more?
*Garnet: Always.
*Amethyst: You know I'm in!
*Bismuth: Me too! Just lead the way.
*Lapis: Sure. Where to next?
*Pearl: Proud of you, Steven. Let's do it.
*Steven: Crystal Gems... let's go save the day!
*Squaridot: (Laughs)
*Steven: Huh? What's wrong, little buddy?
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Amethyst: Um... that's some freaky stuff right there.
*Bismuth: I'm not liking the look of this.
*Steven: Hmm. Is that... Is that some kind of distress signal? But it's all scrambled and wonky! Where's it coming from??
*Amethyst: Heeeeyyyyy, I know that place! It's, uh... y'know, the one with all those letters and numbers...
*Bismuth: CSC-215...
*Amethyst: Uh, yeah, that's what I was saying.
*Steven: Huh so, maybe that's where we can find out more about this message?
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Yeah. Sounds like a plan to me!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Steven: Okay, keep going this way, then?
*Amethyst: Pffft, this place is two thousand and late.
*Bismuth: Let's stay focused. New constructs may have arrived since we were last here.
*Lapis: Hey, Peridot.
*Steven: PERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
*Peridot: Steven?? ...and everyone else! W-what are you all doing here?
*Amethyst: Duh, we're on a magic mission to liberate the galaxy. What are YOU doing here?
*Peridot: W-well, you see, I'm just here... to...
*Steven: Oh, are you tracking the distress signal too??
*Peridot: YES! Yes, that! Exactly that! Definitely the thing you just said!
*Steven: Is everything okay, Peridot? You're acting--
*Peridot: Pro-active?? Why yes, you could say that!
*Steven: Hmmm, in that case... Care to join to us?
*Peridot: Yes! Why, I thought you'd never ask! You might want to stay back for this. Let's go, fellow Crystal Gems!
*Steven: Oh, yeah. Ooo, I almost forgot! Peridot, you remember the Prism? ALlow me to introduce: George!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Peridot: Oh my stars! Oh, wow, it's back! Um, greetings, George Prism.
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Peridot: Wow. That unconventional new form! Prism Tech has done it again!! So fascinating. Y'know, if I could just take a closer look at --
*Bismuth: Peridot, we've got to keep moving.
*Peridot: ...
*(Amethyst, Garnet and Pearl arrives)
*Peridot: Ah HA! I can use this terminal to decode the message! Give me a moment to bypass their security, and... You've got to be kidding. THAT'S the protocol they went with? HA!! Perhaps I should stick around after the mission, show these Peridots a thing or--
*Steven: So...
*Peridot: Right, where we are.
*Squaridot: THIS TRANSMISSION IS FOR... ...THE STEVEN.
*Steven: What? Gasp!
*Squaridot: I COMMAND YOU TO DELIVER THE PRISM TO ME. THIS IS A NON-OPTIONAL DEMAND. YOU WILL FULFILL it with... EXTREME PROMPTNESS! YOU WILL DO THIS. OR... ELSE! ... ...that is the entirely of this broadcast.
*Lapis: That was a pretty non-specific ultimatum.
*Steven: You guys... that was SQUARIDOT!
*Peridot: ...
*Steven: Um, Peridot? Did you hear me? I said... that was SQUARIDOT! Remember her? You guys met at the Barn, and then --
*Peridot: Uh, yes, w-well...
*Amethyst: Um, wait, wait. Last time we saw her, wasn't she in a bubble?
*Peridot: Uh huh...
*Steven: Huh, that's right. How did she --
*Peridot: ...uh, um, I have a confession to make... ... ... IT WAS ME!!!!!!!!!!!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Peridot: I let her out! I thought, surely I could get her on our side! On my own... I thought it'd be like when you released me! But you would NOT believe how difficult she can be! The EGO! Just completely self-absorbed! How do you even reason with someone like that?!
*Pearl: Peridot! Why didn't you contact us?
*Peridot: W-well, you guys were busy!! And I've been tracking her, and I thought I could still clean this up myself, and, and... ...and telling you now, so... I... I... I'm sorry.
*Steven: It's okay, Peridot. But next time you've gotta trust us to help.
*Peridot: I know. You're right.
*Bismuth: Squaridot, huh. So we know this is probably a trap, right?
*Garnet: Yup.
*Steven: Maybe there's still a way to get through to her. What if she hasn't heard about Era 3? We've gotta at least try.
*Peridot: Well, at least she made it easy for us. There's coordinates included the message. And a hologram of a ship. Look!
*Steven: What? Hey, that's Hessonite's warship! Luckily for us, I happen to know one magical pink lion who can take us there.
*Peridot: Well, what are we waiting for? I'm ready when you guys are! Oh, yeah. It's Peri time. This ship is massive. I hope everyone's ready for a walk.
*Lapis: Yep. Let's do this.
*Bismuth: Hey! Who turned off the lights?
*Peridot: That wasn't a malfunction. Possibly a rerouting of the ship's power. Hm. What IS that Squaroclod planning...
*Lapis: So, where to?
*Squaridot: THERE YOU ARE, THE STEVEN! YOU WILL NOW DELIVER THE PRISM TO ME!
*Peridot: Uh, yeah, you told us that already.
*Steven: Squaridot, good to see ya! Heyy, so, while have you here... Have you heard about a little something called Era 3?
*Squaridot: NO.
*Steven: Oh, boy. Hm. This might be tougher than I thought.
*Peridot: See??? Everyone, look!!! I found her!
*George: (Gibberish Speaking)
*Squaribot: The Prism. Relinquish it to me.
*Steven: First of all, I can't do that. Hmm. And second of all, you look... different?
*Squaribot: That observation is... not relevant! Let us battle, you... PEBBLES!
*Steven: No! Ahhhh!!! We exploded Squaridot!! Oh. Wait! Squaridots shouldn't be explode-able!
*Squaridot: YOU WILL NOW DELIVER THE PRISM TO ME.
*Steven: Uh. Huh... Wait a minute. Was that not the real Squaridot? Was it just a... SquariBOT??
*Peridot: I have absolutely no idea what's going on anymore.
*Squaridot: THE PRISM! I MUST HAVE IT... BACK!
*Peridot: This must be the computer running Hessonite's ship! Leave it to me, teammates!!! I'll just remote access the system and shut it down. Simple! Aren't you all glad I came along?? Now I just need you guys to but me some time.
*Lapis: Let's finish this. You heard her. Let's get to work.
*Peridot: GOT IT! I'm in!! Now, just to shut down this pesky program! And... NYAH!
*Squaridot: What... just happened?
*Steven: Hoo boy, where to begin?
*Peridot: Listen here, you!! No running off this time! You've got some explaining to do!
*Squaridot: I was searching for the whereabouts of my commander... The ship has an emergency protocol for locating the Prism. I thought that would lead me to her. I activated it, and then... The ship took over. It looked into the deepest parts of me... and extracted what it needed.
*Lapis: What? That's terrible...
*Squaridot: Long ago, before the Prism was lost, the ship would interface with it directly. It's as if the ship couldn't exist without it. Just like my commander...
*Steven: Well, the important thing is that it's all over now! And you're okay!
*Peridot: Thanks to us!! The Crystal Gems!! Well, whaddya say to that? Perhaps you'd like to thank us for saving you??
*Squaridot: ... I... suppose... to show my gratitude, I can refrain from reporting your presence to Hessonite. Or the Diamond Authority.
*Peridot: Hessonite? The Diamonds?? Uh... do you really not know??
*Squaridot: Know... what?
*Steven: Sounds like we've got a few things to catch you up on. So, uh, yeah. I know all that stuff I just explained was a lot to take in. Um, any questions?
*Squaridot: I'm... still processing it.
*Steven: Hey, I know! Squaridot! How'd you like to tag along with us?? Oh! You could come back down to Beach City! We could show you the project we're working on! I think you'd liiiiiike it! Whaddya say?
*Squaridot: Um, yeeeahh, um... I don't think I'm ready for all that yet.
*Steven: If you change your mind, you know where to find us. Cool, well... Square ya later!
*Squaridot: Right...
*Demantoid's Peridot 2: Work, work...
*Demantoid's Peridot: It's... you... I worshipped my Diamond. But she submitted to you. Now... What am I supposed to do?
*Steven: Dance Party!
*Demantoid's Peridot: ...what?
*Steven: Urm, what I mean to say is: now you can do ANYTHING! You can have fun, or be creative! I want you, and all the other Peri Pals, to be free! To live your lives the way YOU want!
*Demantoid's Peridot: Be... free... I... I will try.
*Pearl: You're really doing an amazing thing, Steven.
*Demantoid's Peridot 4: Argh! These pesky constructs! I knowwe're supposed to stay out of their way... I know the Prism is something to be respected and feared... But they're in the way and I've got SO much work to do!! Hey... if you, y'know, just so happen to clear out a few... I could keep it between us. Just sayin'...
*Demantoid's Peridot: You look familiar... Where have I seen you before?
*Steven: I just have one of those faces, I 'spose!
*Demantoid's Peridot: Right... Well, since you're just standing around with no discernible purpose, I can only conclude that you're in need of assignment. Currently I am cataloguing Demantoid's new light constructs. There's nothing more important than comprehensive data, you know. I've modified this fauna scanning device for just that purpose. Here, take it. You can aide me by scanning five different light construct types. Report back to me when you've completed your assignment.
*Pearl: Wait, steven, what are we agreeing to exactly?
*Demantoid's Peridot: Oh?? You wish to converse with me again, New Leader Steven?? Then I must honor you once again with our humble colony's special salute!!
*Steven: Oh, n-no, that won't be necessar--
*Demantoid's Planet: SAAAAALUUUTE!!!!!
*Steven: Oh, um, that looks really great! Thanks...
*Demantoid's Planet: Hey! There seems to be fewer light constructs getting in my way lately. You do good work! Here, take this for your trouble.
*Steven: Hey, Peri Pal! We did the thing!
*Demantoid's Peridot: That you did. Yes, yes, this data looks to be most adequate. I suppose I should reward you for your efforts.
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Everyone's been gettin' real upset 'bout all this Demantoid and construct stuff. But I know better. I'm keepin' my head low. Biding my time working on a special project. It's a list of all things that can be forged using the local ore. Wanna see? Maybe you could help me finish that list? If you're not doing anything more important, I mean.
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: ARGH!!!!!
*Steven: Uh... hey, friend! Perhaps we can be of assistance?
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: Oh? If you wanna help, answer me this... You know what Bismuths can build, right???
*Steven: Oh, uh, yeah... urm... this isn't a trick question, right? Um...they can build... anything?
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: THAT'S RIGHT! ANYTHING Bismuth's can build ANYTHING!! So why can't I make heads or tails of this here schematic I found?! GRRR!! It's useless. Here, you might as well have it!
*Demantoid's Bismuth: Huh? You finished that list? Wow. I'm impressed. Thanks fo rletting me know.
*Steven: Ta daaaaa~~!
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: WHAAA! H-how did you...
*Steven: Anything's possible with a positive attitude! 
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: It's that so. Well, this thing you made... it's useless y'know. 
*Steven: Oh.
*Demantoid's Bismuth 2: But... I admire your spirit. Here, you deserve this.
