Peridot finally found a spot where she could contact Yellow Diamond and call for backup to capture Robert. After several weeks, she finally contacted her. "What do you want? Where is the prophesied humanoid?" she boomed. "Well, I had him, but my ship crashed on this miserable rock, and we don't know where he-"

"SILENCE!!!" She shouted" I should have known better than to have a Peridot do this! It was a simple task! Bring him to me! It didn't even have to be alive! Even a PEARL could have done this better! Oh well, it's not like it matters really. Do you have any information on him other than him being a male?"

Peridot thought for a moment "I had a full drive on him and many others, but when I scanned the ship, it was gone! But I did get information from a life-form only known as C...Zero...N-N...One...backwards three (write that down, Craftfury and Xx_DiamondHybridGod_Xx if you don't understand it) saying that he had something known as 'Aw-Tissem'." She said. Yellow Diamond put her hand on her forehead. "Well, Pink Diamond had this thing she used to deal with overpopulation at the 'Zoo." Yellow Diamond explained. She handed Peridot a large bag through the communication terminal that sort of...moved. "Just throw this at him and it'll do the rest." She explained.

Meanwhile, Robert was about to find Peridot using the Gem Warp, but Steven, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl insisted on coming with him. "I sense it's gonna be tough, even for you, so we'll need our combined strengths to stand a chance." Garnet explained. Robert didn't mind, he actually liked the idea of being on the same side as others. At his old school, he wasn't even picked on the dodgeball teams.

Later, they all showed up at the barn that Peridot was at. It was unimpressive in appearance to say the least, but Robert learned to be careful, even in cases where it seems easily said and done. Peridot charged up her arm cannon "Stay back, clods!" she yelled. They stepped closer. Peridot stopped charging and threw the bag. The bag burst open, revealing small black bug-like organisms that enveloped Robert entirely. He grew weaker and weaker, then Peridot realized what it was: Chaos Parasites that made the host insane before killing them. Peridot was shocked that someone, even Yellow Diamond would do something so terrible. Peridot realized she wasn't going to take the abuse from her any longer. Yellow Diamond was still watching it play out and was smiling about it. Peridot came closer to Robert and threw an ice-blue stone at him. In a fraction of a second, Robert was frozen and unconscious inside a six-sided prism. Garnet seized the opportunity to grab Peridot. "What did you do?!" she yelled with Pearl and Amethyst surrounding her. "I had no idea what was in the bag!" she explained quickly and fearfully. "The Freez-crystal was the only way to stop him from turning insane and dying!"

Suddenly, Lion appeared towards the incident. Steven hugged Lion and asked if he could use his mane for something. Lion looked at Robert's prism cell and opened a space wide enough for it to fit. Pearl destroyed the terminal and Lion warped them home. Peridot was stripped of her limb enhancers and tools when she was taken to the temple. "How long will it take for Robert to be back to normal?" Pearl asked. "Uhh...It should be approximately 30 planetary rotations for the parasites to die...and the prism should melt in a matter of hours afterward." Peridot answered calmly. "You're surprisingly taking this well...it's creepin' me out!" Amethyst said.

Steven was sitting in front of the prism, which was propped up next to his closet. "I'll miss you...I really will...I hope you can be there for my birthday. You don't even have to get me anything, just show up..." Steven said to the frozen Robert. "I doubt he can hear you, Steven." Pearl responded. Steven was about to lay in bed when he froze as if he saw a ghost for about a minute until he ran back to Robert. "Can you hear me?" He asked. "Bro, you talkin' to an imaginary friend or somethin'?" Amethyst mocked. "Amethyst, there's no need to mock him, it is one of the stages of grief, after all." Pearl explained. Steven was still sitting in front of the prism talking to Robert even as he was about to go to sleep.

"Can you hear me?"

"It's me, Robert! Is this the reader?"

"Can you do me a solid and see if Lapis likes me? (つ ♥灬 ͜ʖ 灬♥)つ"
