Dragonstone
We were standing and watching a Ruby pop out from the ship before Steven spoke out in confusion
Steven: "Ruby?" Garnet grabbed him and they hid while more ruby's made their way out of the ship and looked around the area
Goggles: "Now, where's the giant dragon that took us out?!"
Eye gem: "How can something so big disappear?!"
Steven: while hiding in the barn "Woah! Look at 'em all."
Peridot: "I knew it, they're after me! This is the need of the line.
Lapis: "You really weren't kidding."
Dragonstone: "Here I thought you were being a paranoid little creature." I crossed my arms and laid against the barn doors
Peridot: "I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod...to her face."
Pearl: rolled her eyes "Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod." Dragonstone looked up
Dragonstone: "We need to get rid of them, they are ruining my day." I stood up from the ground
Peridot: "I do call everyone a clod, but not everyone has command over all the armies of homeworld waiting for the war to shatter me!" She ran off and hid under box
Dragonstone: I walked over and lifted the box "Why would I ever allow that?"
Peridot: while curled up "Haven't I caused you enough trouble?" Garnet came over
Garnet: "Don't worry Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home. That includes, clods like you." Peridot stood up and looked at the two tall gems
Peridot: "That's my word..." she whispered in surprise
Garnet: "I have a plan, or should I say..." she raised her hands to reveal her gems "...We have a plan." She chuckled before unfusing
Sapphire: "Hello, everyone."
Pearl & Amethyst: "Ruby! Sapphire!" They came closer
Steven: "Huuuugs!" She hugged the two gems
Sapphire: "Hello, Steven." She chuckled
Dragonstone: "It's been a while, you two." I waved
Amethyst: "So, what's the plan?" Steven let the two gems go
Sapphire: she looks to Ruby "You've got this. Just act casual." She kissed Ruby on the cheek
Ruby: punches her palm "Yeah, casual!" She walks out of the barn toward the other ruby's as they talk to each other and take not of Crystal gems Ruby but think she's one of them before she came back "They wanna search the barn!"
Steven: "We heard." All the gems nod in agreement
Dragonstone: I clench my firsts and summon my claws while lapis's wings sprout on her back "When do I start bubbling?"
Pearl: "Firstly, We saw. And secondly, no one's bubbling anyone."
Peridot: worriedly "I'm scared."
Amethyst: pulls out a bat "I agree with Lapistone. Let's ambush them!"
Sapphire: pops in "No one need to get hurt, let's be sensible." Looks to Ruby and approaches her
Ruby: nervously sweating "W-what do I do?!"
Sapphire: takes her hand and puts it to Ruby's chest "Well, tell the that this is a place where humans live."
Ruby: sighs "I don't wanna go alone."
Steven: "Ooh! I'll come! I'll be your back up." He flexes
Amethyst: hands him the bat "Here's backup for your backup." Ruby carries steven with his bat out to the ruby's and presents him to them as they want to double check and still decide to search the barn, Steven offers to play baseball
Gems: "Baseball?!" Dragonstone sighs. Steven and Ruby came back
Sapphire: "I saw this as a possibility, I'm surprised this is the path we're taking." Steven blew his whistle
Steven: "Alright, my human baseball knowledge will lead us to victory! Let's just go out there and pretend to be humans. Except Peridot and Dragonstone, you stay here in the barn and hide."
Peridot: "Okay..."
Dragonstone: "Why?" I frown
Steven: "Well, you're kind of wanted by homeworld and they probably have orders to take you back if they find you." He smiles
Pearl: "He is right, you know. If they return with news of your existence and info on where you are, the diamonds might send more troops, fleets even, of stronger gems to capture you." She crossed her arms
Sapphire: "She's right. There is too much risk, Dragonstone. It's best you keep Peridot company, it will help you both."
Lapis: she kissed Dragonstone's cheek and smiled "Try not to miss me too much, even though this plan kinda sucks." She snorted
Dragonstone: "Goodluck." I sighed and watched them gear up before running out. As they left I felt something crawling on me "Peridot, get off my shoulders."
Peridot: "Never! If they lose I need an escape plan! You are gonna get us both out of here!" Dragonstone grabbed her by the back of her collar and held her in front of his face "Unhand me!"
Dragonstone: "You do know everything doesn't revolve around you, right? If things go south, I'd never run."
Peridot: "What?! Why? You know what the diamonds will do to us! I will be bubbled and kept as a trophy in yellow diamonds throne room! Or worse, shattered and forced together with other shards!" She shook in fear and ran into a corner, hugging her knees and whimpering
Dragonstone: I stare at her and sigh "Peridot...it's okay..." I walked over to her and crouched down by my knees "I'd never let anyone hurt you."
Peridot: "Why? All I've ever done was ruin your lives...I even mocked you on the ship." She looked off to the side sadly with a dark green hue on her cheeks. Dragonstone looked surprised
Dragonstone: I smile softly and tilt my head "You still remember that? Why didn't you say anything? The guilt must have been eating on you." I watched as she sprung to her feet and pointed her finger at me
Peridot: "It has! It feels horrible, I feel...like...I should be "nice" to you? And try to make it "better"? I hate it!" She grit her teeth before Dragonstone pat her head as her triangular hair sucked in with the weight of his hand "Huh?"
Dragonstone: "You do know if I still hated you or disliked you for that, you'd know it, right? You remind me a lot of amethyst when I first met her...so confused and willing to learn." I smiled and hugged her
Peridot: she squeaked and her eyes widened "Wait..." she pulled back "So...you don't hate me? Does that mean you and Lazuli don't find me annoying and unbearable?" Dragonstone hums
Dragonstone: "Not all the time. But you do tend to not utilise boundaries." My ears twitch as I look out the barn doors seeing the gems playing and losing
Peridot: she smiles with some sort of new found determination "Let's go and help them!" She jumps up and spreads out her arms "With our intellects, plus your physical prowess, we'll win and send those ruby's crying back to the diamonds! Nyehehehe!" She rubs her hands together
Dragonstone: "Easy there, Peridot." I hold her back by her garments "We're not allowed to, unless you want a full-scale invasion or worse, diamonds to come shatter you and kidnap me, plus hurt our friends. We can't do anything but wait." I sighed
Peridot: "But they're losing! They might come either way!" Dragonstone is quiet for a moment before he hummed in thought. Peridot suddenly reached her hand out to him "There is one way..." she says sheepishly and looks away
Dragonstone: I stare down at her "Peridot...Lapis isn't gonna like this."
Peridot: she frowns "No, it's different! You and Lapis like each other, we are just friends." Dragonstone suddenly laughs a king peridot smile
Dragonstone: "I guess...I can work with that logic." I sigh happily this time and take her hand "Let's do it."
Peridot & Dragonstone: "To save the gems."
Third Pov
The gems are outside while they watch them gain another strike out, Steven is holding his hair and pulling on it with sweat tapping down his face as Sapphire misses another throw due to flirting with Ruby
Amethyst: "We were in the lead! We're getting creamed!" She groans
Lapis: "I told you this plan sucked..." she looked down before a bright light came from the barn before a plume of smoke slowly came out from the doors like fog and a chuckle is heard from inside
Steven: his eyes wide "Oh my...."
Pearl: "Stars!"
Bloodstone: the fusion gem appeared from the barn "If I'm correct, I'd say with a little bit of hard work and effort, and some precise calculation, we can win this." They laughed boastfully "Bloodstone here, It's a pleasure for you all to meet me!"
Lapis: she frowns "Peridot..."
Amethyst: she cheered "Aww, yeah! Time to win this game back!"
Eyeball: "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" She walked up to Steven "What's this?! That's not a human!"
Steven: he smiled "Yes they are. They're...one of the special ones, so let's play on!" He smiled and threw two bats over to bloodstone who caught both and spun them around before gripping tightly on the ends sending strong winds around
Bloodstone: "Brains and brawn come together to make greatness!" They laugh boastfully. As they start a round two of the ruby's throw balls but Bloodstone yawns with one hand and swats both away causing them to fly at lightning fast speeds
Eyeball: "whoa!" She ducks as both nearly get her in the eyes
Steven: "So cool!" Amethyst was cheering. Bloodstone now stood on the ship and held one ball in hand before summoning Dragonstone's gauntlets
Bloodstone: "Hmm...according to my calculations, if you don't dodge this, you will lose your puny hand!" They threw the ball causing it to fly in an instant pass the eyeball ruby's face as she stared in shock with sweat on her face
Pearl: claps "Go, Bloodstone!" She laughs
Lapis: she crossed her arms "Get this over with." Bloodstone winked at Lapis making her feel a bit awkward 'It's still Dragonstone in there...' Bloodstone sprints off causing a plume of dust to rise as they stand at home plate with one pair of arms crossed and the other pair behind their head
Bloodstone: "The exact amount of output gave us enough speed to make it here in ample time and make us appear completely and utterly awesome, down to the last minute detail." They smirked with a glint shining from their teeth
Sapphire: "Go, Bloodstone!" She claps and smiles softly. Next up Lapis was batting and bloodstone stood nearby
Bloodstone: "This one's for the win, Lazuli!" One pair of hands show a thumbs up and the other makes a heart shape "Keep your eyes on the ball, Lapis!"
Lapis: she smiles softly "Uh, sure..." she seemed to have a newfound drive as the shoulder Ruby throws the ball sending it flying as Lapis covered her bat in water and hit the ball sending it hurdling back as it hit the Ruby and sent her falling back on the ground with swirls in her eyes
Bloodstone: they clap calmly with one pair of arms and waved wildly with the other two "Run. run!"
Lapis: she laughs "I'm going! I'm going!" She put her hands behind her back and jogged while the ruby's ran to get the ball. She got to home plate and then ran to Bloodstone as they caught her with one pair of arms and held her tightly while the other pair was held up in the air awkwardly "Where did you get this idea Dragonstone?" She whispered
Bloodstone: they smirked and whispered back "It wasn't him, it was Peridot. She wanted to help, and she made it pretty clear that it was nothing more than your friendship." They laughed boastfully
Lapis: she rolls her eyes "Well...she can be pretty smart sometimes..." all the gems ran over and Bloodstone picked them all up
Steven: "We won! Yeah!" Sapphire and Ruby hugged each other and spun around before fusing back into garnet
Garnet: laughing before realising "Whoops."
Chest: "Their gems!"
Shoulder: "We've been tricked!"
Belly button: "What a turn of events." Eyeball growls
Confused: she turned "Huh, what?"
Garnet: "Sorry guys, game is over."
Chest: "That's it! Ruby's combine!" They all jumped together and fused into a giant Ruby and roared before bloodstone stepped forward with everyone behind the,
Bloodstone: "Wait! It's us you're after, right? Peridot and Dragonstone." They crossed their arms
Ruby fusion: "Are you the Peridot assigned to the failed earth mission? And Dragonstone, the gem you were tasked with retrieving?! Why are you two fused, what's the meaning of this?!"
Bloodstone: "That's besides the point."
Ruby fusion: "Where's Jasper?" Bloodstone tilts their head
Bloodstone: "What?" They growl before unfusing as Peridot jumps down from Dragonstone's shoulders
Dragonstone Pov
Peridot: "But I'm the one who betrayed the mission! I called yellow diamond a clod! The new leader of the Crystal Gems?!"
Pearl: "Whaaaat?" Dragonstone shook his head and stood beside lapis who gave him a look of "we're gonna talk"
Ruby fusion: "Tell us where Jasper is, now!" Dragonstone frowns
Dragonstone: "Wouldn't we all love to know." I clench my fists
Peridot: "Jasper...we know where Jasper is." She looks to the gems
Ruby fusion: "Well?!"
Steven: pops in "Neptune! She's on...the planet Neptune!" He smiles widely as the fused Ruby narrows her eyes
Ruby fusion: smiles "Well, why didn't you say so?" Steven sighs
Chesty: "We all here?" Counts "To planet Neptune!" They all had their own exit before eyeball thanked Steven with a serious look as they got into their ship and flew off
Amethyst: "Man...ruby's are dumb." Lapis grabbed Dragonstone's ear and dragged him off
Dragonstone: "Hey, okay, I'm coming..."
Garnet: smiles and replies to amethyst "Not all of them." A flash is seen in the background while they all stood smiling and staring at where the ruby's left
