Chapter 34: Marble Madness

"Pearl, do you think this was-" Steven began to ask as he took down the bubble

"One of Peridot's Machines? Yes I think so, only... we've never seen one this big before," Pearl told

"Or this gooey!" Amethyst said as she was covered head to toe in goo

"Amethyst, we need to be careful we don't know what this stuff is," Pearl warned. Suddenly, Amethyst smirked and stuck out her arms, "Oh no. Don't you dare get that stuff on me!"

"Goop hug!" Amethyst laughed as she began chasing Pearl around the beach, "Come here, Pearl! I love you, Pearl!"

"Peridot. Is that the Gem you guys told me about? The one that's trying to come to Earth?" Connie asked

"The very same," Y/n nodded

"Yeah. We stopped her before but, I guess she can still shoot stuff here from space," Steven sighed

"So... what do you think it was here to do?" Steven asked

"We destroyed it," Garnet said as she picked up a piece and tossed it aside, "Doesn't matter,"

"Eh... If Peridot sends more it might be good information to have," Y/n said

"Goop hug!" Amethyst cheered as she came from behind and hugged Garnet

"I can't believe you," Pearl groaned as she approached, covered in goo. Garnet didn't seem to care as she hugged Amethyst back

"Y/n!" Amethyst looked over and noticed Y/n standing there

"I have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it," Y/n warned

"Goop!" Amethyst cheered as she let go of Garnet and began chasing Y/n

"I just took a shower!" Y/n yelled as they ran down the beach

"Hi Steven! What's up? Have you read more "Unfamiliar Familiar"?" Connie asked as she talked with Steven over the phone. Y/n was in the kitchen typing up an essay for their English midterm while Pearl helped them.

"Yeah, but I'm -" Steven began as he picked up a book

"Aaah!" Connie screamed, "Isn't it amazing? How far did you get?"

"I'm in the middle of one of them but, I'm really confused..." Steven said as he examined a book, "They keep talking about this Plinkman guy who died... Am I suppose to know who he is?"

"Plinkman... but that's Lisa's dad... Steven? You're reading them in order, right?" Connie asked

"There's an order? Aww man, I just started with the one with the coolest cover. Hello? Connie?" Steven tried getting her attention, but she seemed to have zoned out. Soon, another shooting sound was heard that shuck the temple, "What the-?"

"Another one, another one" Y/n said in a deep voice as they shut their laptop

"Something entered the atmosphere," Garnet told as she emerged from her room as well as Amethyst. All five of them went to the porch and began searching the sky

"Up there!" Amethyst pointed to the robot shooting down

"It's another one of those things!" Pearl gasped

"It landed on Mask Island," Garnet told as she went back inside, "Come on!"

"Connie, I'm gonna call you back," Steven said as he stepped onto the warp with Y/n and the rest of the Gems.

"Is it... looking for a warp?" Pearl frowned as the group found the large robot wandering the island

"We have to stop it! Y/n!" Garnet called
