[Due to the fight between Alexandrite and Lapis, all the surroundings and the buildings near the Palace were destroyed, leaving nothing but rubble.]
Lapis: Where the fuck did they hide?!
[Lapis, visibly angry, looks around in search of Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.]
Lapis: Tch. Where are they?! Grrr! Damn it!
[A Short Fusion Gem suddenly flies up to the main water clone and angrily yells out at Lapis.]
????????: Hey, Lazuli! You plumb gone nutty in the head?!
[A bewildered Lapis turns around.]
????????: Why are you destroying everything?!
[Lapis' eyes widen at the sight of the Short Fusion Gem, who is a higher-ranking gem.]
Lapis: No way! It's...
[The aforementioned Short Fusion Gem has an azure complexion with red and mint patches, a single navy blue eye and burgundy hair stylized in a bowl cut. She has six limbs, consisting of two arms and four legs. Her gemstones are embedded in her left eye and cheek respectively. She dons informal clothing; a long-sleeved suit that is red on the right and teal on the left, a white collar and a dark green tie. She also wears pants that match with said tie and four burgundy boots.]
Lapis: It's Bluebird! What's she doing here?!
[Lapis stops exerting her hydrokinesis on the water, so the giant water clones dissipate without further ado, the water returns to where it came from.]
Bluebird: Well? Answer me!
Lapis: *bows* I-I apologize for all the ruckus, ma'am, I was in the middle of something.
Bluebird: Oh, yeah? What about what I asked you to do?
Lapis: Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I just found more traitor Gems in the palace, as you asked me to.
Bluebird: Really? So it wasn't just rumors, huh? Say, how many were there?
Lapis: A total of six. Two of them are fused.
Bluebird: I see. There's something I'm curious about, though.
Lapis: Wh-what is it, ma'am?
Bluebird: Where are they now?
Lapis: W-well, uh, you see... they got away from me... again.
Bluebird: So you destroyed half the planet for nothing?! How did they get away from you?! You're really stupid!
Lapis: *nervously* I-I-I'm so sorry, I won't let you down next time! I swear I'll hunt those damn traitors till I'm blue in the face!
Bluebird: But you're a blue gem, your face is already blue.
Lapis: That... that was an expression, ma'am.
Bluebird: ...I already knew that.
[Says a blushing Bluebird as she lets out a nervous laugh.]
Lapis: *awkwardly* ...Okay?
Bluebird: Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, there won't be a next time for you, Lazuli.
Lapis: *gasps in shock* Wh-what?! Don't tell me you're going to--
Bluebird: Don't fret, right now I need you for something more important. We'll talk about this later. For now, let the Quartz Soldiers take care them. Let's go!
