[Amidst the confusion, the previously scattered group of Amethysts charges at the Agates.]

Amethysts: Go! Go!! GO!!!

Random Agate: What?!

Another Random Agate: Who are you Gems?!

Random Amethyst: Come on, Amethysts, let's go get them!

[The group of Amethysts begins to fight against the group of Agates.]

【At the same time.】

[Nice Lapis and Mean Lapis are seen to summon their wings, then fly off..]

Nice Lapis: What just happened, partner!? What's all this?!

Mean Lapis: No fucking idea, that warship just came outta nowhere!

[The warship is seen firing its cannons at the Topazes, it's about to take them all out.]

Mean Lapis: I hope Emerald doesn't blame me for this, I'm in no mood to take another one of her reprimands!

Nice Lapis: We should do something to stop it before it gets out of hand!

Mean Lapis: Right.

[The area suddenly begins to rumble and shake violently.]

Garnet: Amethyst, don't let them use their powers!

Steven: Hold them down with your whip, now!!!

Amethyst: I got this!

[Amethyst lashes her whip, managing wrap it around both Nice Lapis and Mean Lapis in mid-air, much to the surprise of both who didn't see it coming.]

[Both Lazulis gasp in surprise as Amethyst yanks them, slamming them down into the ground and creating a gigantic crater.]

Nice Lapis: *groans in pain* Ah, that hurt!

Mean Lapis: Not enough to stop us, though!

[The ground breaks open and a giant water hand emerges.]

[Steven then runs up to them, followed by Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.]

Steven: Hey, hold on a second!

Nice Lapis: Look, it's Steven Universe! It's... it's him, isn't it, or have I mistaken him for someone else?

Mean Lapis: No, you haven't. It IS him, in the flesh. So, Steven, I guess it's you we have to thank for this surprise attack, or am I wrong?

Steven: Uh, well... sort of.

Mean Lapis: Sort of what?! Anyway, what matters now is that we finally found you, which means it's time for you to pay with your life!

[Mean Lapis slams the water arm onto the Crystal Gems, trapping Garnet underneath it and knocking Pearl, Steven and Amethyst aside. Garnet, however, manages to easily break free of the water arm and punches it away.]

Mean Lapis: *surprised* What the-?!

Garnet: You were right, Steven. These two don't have as refined a control of water as Lapis.

Mean Lapis: You think so, huh? Well, just know that's not all we've got!

[Mean Lapis uses her water wings to break Amethyst's whip, leaving her and Nice Lapis free, then a large amount of water begins to gush out of the ground.]

Amethyst: *in fear* So, guys, what do we do now!?

[Both Mean Lapis and Nice Lapis fly off as all the water accumulates in one spot.]

Garnet: Do it, Peridot!! Now!!!

Steven: *confused* Huh?

[In the distance Peridot is seen preparing her limb enhancers, she then fires a tractor beam at both Lapis Lazulis, successfully halting them in their track. They are now immobilized, unable to speak or take action.]

Peridot: Gotcha!

Garnet: Just as planned. Well done, Peridot.

[All the water that both Lapis Lazulis had accumulated falls down and goes back where it came from..]

Steven: When did you two plan all this?

Garnet: While you were talking about nicknames and other nonsense, Peridot and I were coming up with a contingency plan, just in case.

[Garnet says as she adjusts her visor.]

Peridot: I came up with most of it, by the way.

Steven: I see--

[Suddenly a loud explosion is heard in the distance, causing everyone to turn their eyes to the sky and gape as they witness the Warship being surrounded by Homeworld Ships mercilessly firing plasma cannons and missiles at it.]

【Inside the warship.】

Captain Gem: Oh, fuck! They surrounded us faster than I thought! *to her crew* Fire at will!

[The Warship begins firing its weapons at the Homeworld Ships and manages to shoot down some of them; however, the Homeworld Ships vastly outnumber it.]

Random Crewgem 1: *in fear* Th-There are too many of them! And what's worse, more and more are coming!

Random Crewgem 2: *in fear* Their attacks are constant from all sides, at this rate our shields won't hold much longer, captain!

Captain Gem: *shocked* I-It can't be.

[They did their best to counterattack, they shot down some enemy ships, but in the end the inevitable happened, the Warship was shot down by the Homeworld ships, which were in the majority.]

Steven: NOOO!

[Steven watches in shock as the warship crashes to the ground and explodes in the distance.]

Steven: I hope those Gems are all right. I'd better go check on them asap.
