I step out of one of my portals to see the house destroyed.

Me: oh god, John, Zoey, Lapis!?!?!

I look to the right and spot John and Zoey.

Zoey: *crying* mommy, please come back.

I race over to them.

Me: Zoey, shawn, what happened-

I see a shattered gem, not just any shattered gem, my lappy's gem, shattered into three pieces.

Me: oh stars, lappy, n-no.

I crouch down and pick up the three pieces of her gem, connect them to each other, and close my hands.

Me: you aren't leaving me and our kids lappy, I won't let you.

My hands start glowing brightly, after a few moments the light died down, I open my hands to see my wife's gem healed, no cracks.

Her gem starts glowing and she reforms.

She starts falling, I quickly catch her.

Lapis: w-what happened?

Me: lapis!

Shawn and Zoey: mommy!!

Me, Shawn and Zoey hug lapis.

Me: lapis, what happened here.

Lapis: fireteam Nova is what happened, something took control of them, nova wasn't affected, he's still out there fighting them right now.

I stand up.

Me: *hands Shawn and Zoey a sidearm* Shawn, Zoey, stay here with your mother, those sidearms, when you aren't shooting them, finger off the trigger, aim at a foe and pull the trigger, now daddy will be back.

I step outside and phase on my mixed solstice armor set, summon my sentinel shield and dawnblade, and go over to nova.

Ethan (mind controlled): give up nova, you've los- *gets hit by sentinel shield*

Me: we haven't lost, the battle has only just begun.

Nova: thank stars you got here when you did, by the way, Lapis was-

Me: lapis is fine, I unshattered her gem, one of my many gifts.

Nova: so how are we going to save our team?

Me: I got this.

I summon my wings and hover into the air.

Me: by the light of the traveler, these are my friends, my family, the people I trust with my life, all evil and hostile forces are not welcomed in their minds!

Light engulfs fireteam Nova.

Justin: uggghhh, what happened?

Rest of fireteam Nova (not including me and nova): yeah, what the he'll happened?

Me: you all were being mind controlled, I just set you all free.

Raider: oh g-god, zach, I'm sorry, I shattered-

Me: lapis is fine, I unshattered her, my many gifts always come in handy.

I snap my fingers, steven, stella, the crystal gems, diamonds, and all of beach city return to life.

Blue: what happened?

Me: welcome back mom.

Blue: little light, thank you.

Me: no problem.
