## Deleted Scenes

### Meet Garnet (Amethyst Version)

(Bernadette unlocks another green wall where a huge army of light creatures, including yellow ones with buzz saws and flying ones with drills for beaks are on the other side)

Amethyst: Aw, crud! An ambush! (Bernadette sees two gauntlets fly toward the light creatures)

Bernadette: Duck! (The team ducks out of the gauntlets' way)

Amethyst: (looks around) Man, I don't see any du-- (She finally sees the gauntlets and ducks as the gauntlets explode, destroying the army) Quack! (Garnet appears from out of the bushes)

Garnet: Howdy.

Steven: Garnet! How did you know we'd-- oh, duh.

Garnet: Future vision. Sadly I couldn't predict what would happen to the car wash.

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 if Tiny Miracle can't fix it?

Garnet: You were going the right way. The ship flew off in this direction.

Steven: Garnet, do you know that Gem? Who is she?

Garnet: Steven, there's no time. We've got to move fast in order to catch up with her.

Steven: Aw, man... so mysterious!

Garnet: Normally I wouldn't encourage bringing people from other worlds on these missions, but under the circumstances, it'll work out.

### Amethyst Saves the Day

#### Meet Garnet (Pearl Version)

(Bernadette unlocks another green wall where an army of light creatures, including yellow ones with buzz saws and flying ones with drills for beaks are on the other side)

Pearl: Light constructs! It's an ambush! Defend yourselves! (Suddenly two gauntlets fly toward the light creatures and they are destroyed in an explosion, then Garnet appears from out of the bushes)

Garnet: Howdy.

Steven: Garnet! How did you know we'd-- oh, duh.

Garnet: Future vision. Sadly I couldn't predict what would happen to the car wash.

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 if Tiny Miracle can't fix it?

Garnet: You were going the right way. The ship flew off in this direction.

Steven: Garnet, do you know that Gem? Who is she?

Garnet: Steven, there's no time. We've got to move fast in order to catch up with her.

Steven: Aw, man... so mysterious!

Garnet: (Looks at the others) Normally I wouldn't encourage bringing people from other worlds on these missions, but under the circumstances, it'll work out.

#### Meet Pearl (Garnet Version)

Bernadette: Oh, no! Ambush! (Pearl suddenly rushes in and slices and stabs all the light creatures)

Pearl: Steven! Everyone! Thank goodness you're alright!

Steven: PEARL! How did you know we'd be here?

Pearl: Garnet told me what happened.

Garnet: Yep.

Pearl: 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 if Tiny Miracle can't fix it?

Pearl: All right, well, you were heading in the right direction. Her ship 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: (Pause) Okay, I trust you.

Pearl: Thank you, Steven. But before we do anything else, I understand we have visitors from other worlds.

Uncle Grandpa: Well, I just thought it'd be a little more fun if Bernadette here had a little more company.

Pearl: Yes, but there are more serious threats than what I thought you were going to do, Uncle Grandpa. These other outsiders are meddling in our affairs, and such conduct has been known to lead to very serious consequences. Besides, we have enough problems here on Earth, we don't need to go around travelling to other worlds, solving everyone's problems.

Steven: We went to Pink Diamond's human zoo to get Dad back.

Pearl: That's different. We had to go there because Greg was taken there by Blue Diamond.

Bernadette: Well, even if you don't tell us who that Homeworld gem is, you're going to need all the help you can get in order to get that Prism back.

Pearl: Hmm... Oh, very well. Let's go, everyone!

#### Part 2 Boss Fight (Amethyst Saves the Day)

Orange Gem: Hmm...

Garnet and Pearl: Hessonite!

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 properly use it! Let me show you how it's done. (The Prism shines at a base and glows brightly and she laughs) That should do the trick! Isn't this nostalgic? And here I thought the war was over. Well, it will be now! Goodbye! (Teleports away as the Prism summons a giant furnace-like creature with a smaller creature using a cannon on the top)

Steven: Oh, man... that monster! It's... IT'S... Dave, the Furnace-Faced Bladeinator!

Bernadette: (Everyone pauses) I'm sorry... what?

Connie: Uh, Steven, did you really just name the monster?

Steven: Urm, well, yeah. Doesn't it seem like a big boss monster like this needs a name?

Garnet: Get ready, team! (The team prepares themselves)

**Dave, the Furnace-Faced Bladeinator**

**Run Away**

Uncle Grandpa: Come on, guys! Let's go! (Uncle Grandpa and his friends lead Clarence, Sumo and Jeff away from the fight)

**Fight!**

(The team fights the light monster as green light creatures feed it wood to fuel its fires)

Bernadette: It's getting fueled by those things feeding its flames! What do we do?

Steven: I have an idea! Connie! (Connie nods, and they fuse into Stevonnie)

Bernadette: What?!

Mr. Gus: They fused!

Jeff: Is that something Gems can do?

Mr. Gus: Yep.

Bernadette: You! The fusion!

Stevonnie: It's Stevonnie.

Bernadette: I need to get on top of the monster! I have an idea! (Bernadette runs over to Stevonnie, who uses their shield to make a stepping stone for Bernadette, who takes over the cannon but can't aim it away from the others, then she gets blasted off) AHH! (She collides with Stevonnie, who defuses) It's no good! The cannon seems to be fixed to fire at us! (The monsters opens it mouth, revealing saw blades)

Pearl: Garnet, a little help?! (She and Garnet fuse into Sardonyx as she summons her hammer)

Sardonyx: No, no, no, no! (She smashes the saw blades back into the mouth of the monster, which coughs, then it frowns)

Steven: Oh, man, it looks mad! (The monster fires a laser, damaging the team and causing Sardonyx to defuse) Uh-oh... (Suddenly, a purple fireball collides into the back of the monster as it topples over and explodes into light specks, then Amethyst appears) So cool...

Amethyst: S'up?

Steven: Phew, that was one tricky pickle! Thanks for the save, Amethyst! Wait... the Prism! (The Prism is gone) 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.

Greg: Um, just what kind of acting are we talking about here?

Garnet: I know where we need to go. Let's head to the temple, team! (The team heads out of the forest)

### Alternate Ending

Bernadette: (They arrive at an elevator) Okay... this is the big one. (Summons her Keyblade as the Gems summon their weapons)

Bernadette: Hessonite!

Amethyst: Knock, knock! Guess who?!

Garnet: There's no escaping this time!

Pearl: This ends now!

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 have to 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 high moral ground! You're a thief. You stole my property. You took my great weapon, and you broke it! Well... ha ha, you will be relieved to know I've finally fixed it now. Isn't that right?

Prism: Yes. I belong to Hessonite.

Hessonite: You see? Now then, what's an appropriate punishment for theft and authorized activation of Prism? Hmm... I think... killing you, with that very same Prism. Yes, that seems VERY appropriate.

Bernadette: It wouldn't... (The Prism floats down and creates a construct around itself to form...)

**The Prism: Spectral Conclusion**

Garnet: Get ready! (She, Amethyst and Pearl fuse to form...)

**Alexandrite**

Steven: (forms a shield to protect Clarence, Uncle Grandpa and the others and Bernadette gets primed for battle alongside Alexandrite) Hessonite, please stop!

Hessonite: There's no use pleading for your life! You WILL be punished for taking what's mine! (The Prism attacks Bernadette and Alexandrite)

Steven: Prism! It's me, Steven! (The Prism hesitates)

Bernadette: Steven, whatever you're doing, it's working! Keep it up! (She and Alexandrite continue attacking the Prism)

Steven: I know you don't have to be like this! (The Prism hesitates again)

Bernadette: I think it's starting to bend to your will again, Steven! Try again! (She and Alexandrite continue attacking the Prism)

Steven: Is this really what YOU want? (The Prism finally kneels down)

Hessonite: End this! Now! Destroy STEVEN! (The Prism doesn't move) UNBELIEVABLE! You're STILL listening to him!? Looks like I'll just have to deal with them myself. (Teleports down to their level and summons a rapier)

**Hessonite**

**Run Away**

Uncle Grandpa; Come on, guys, let's go!

Sumo: No! We're tired of running!

Clarence: Yeah! If we run now we'll never stop-- (Hessonite slices away the "Run Away" title card and prepares to kick the trio, only to be stopped by a bubble; Hessonite teleports from team to team, but only Bernadette is uncovered and takes the brunt of the damage)

Steven: Bernadette! Do something!

Bernadette: I can't! She's teleporting too fast!

Mr. Gus: (Remembers something) Bernadette, she's not teleporting! She's just moving really quickly! You gotta find a way to slow her down!

Bernadette: Slow... Slow! (Focues her power into the Keyblade) Obey the sky's will, the enemy's speed will be reduced... Slow... JA! (Casts a magic spell that makes Hessonite slow down just enough)

Garnet: Now's our chance! (The heroes beat up Hessonite in a cloud of dust)

Hessonite: (Disoriented from the sudden beatdown) Wh... what?

Bernadette: (Jumps high into the air) FINISH HEEER! (Whacks Hessonite in the head, knocking her down, but not poofing her; Hessonite gets up on one knee as the Prism approaches the group) Any... last words?

Hessonite: It's... it's ME that's defective. (The heroes lower their weapons) 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.

Bernadette: Well... if you insist... (The Prism turns over and summons Light Steven)

Steven: Light Steven! I knew you were still in there!

Bernadette: On the other hand, we can't let you leave so easily, Hessonite.

Hessonite: Let me? (Gets up and laughs) Maybe I'm not what they said I was. Or maybe I am. It's now my chance to go find out. (Teleports away)

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!
