Our heroes awoke in a strange land. A place where the ground only knew fifty-one shades of grey, as did the sky, and the only semblance of life were the few chrome stalks that resembled a single vine...or a tentacle...staying completely still. There was no wind, rain, weather, or even anyone else out there at all.

"Garnet? Amethyst? Pearl?" Steven called out into the abyss. There wasn't a response. He began to worry. He eventually found the heavily damaged robot bodies of the Crystal Gems, sitting alongside the unconscious Robert, Michael and Arya.

"So you're going to leave us here to die?" He heard Arya's voice ask.

Steven became worried "N-No, I-"

"I knew it! He left us!" Amethyst added.

"Guys! I'm right he-"

"You're nothing like Pink!" Garnet's voice called out.

Steven then put two and two together. "Wait...You hate Pink Diamond! That's why you threw a fit and split up when you found out she was Rose!" Steven thought. From the darkness, what looked like a cane with a skull as the handle whacked Robert as he started to stir, putting him back in an unconscious state. Steven licked his hand and put it on his friends. Robert was the only one who got up, the others just poofed in a cloud of smoke the minute he touched them.

Robert woke up again. "Steven? Izzat really you?" he asked.

"Yeah," he replied. "Now come on!" They ran through the barren, empty wasteland. Every time they turned around, the chrome tentacles from earlier seemed to have moved. As they ran, they caught Arya and Michael running around lost among the many cliffs.

"Any idea where Mom is?" Arya asked.

"No, the gems?" Steven replied

"I was more worried about Ond Mørk Dame" Michael added. "If we don't find her, we're dead!"

"Look, there's Aquamarine!" Robert said, spotting the small blue gem entering some sort of cave, carrying something...it looked like someone, almost.

"I thought gems couldn't form in the dark realm," Arya asked.

"Come on, there's four of us and one of her, she'll hafta answer" Michael said as they ran to the entrance. Inside, they found the robot bodies of the Crystal Gems, without the gems inside, with Aquamarine piling them in the cave, which looked very much alive, almost as if it was the inside of some kind of creature, with the veins providing dim light.

"Humans are inventive creatures, but ultimately foolish" Aquamarine said to herself.

"And the death of the blue butterfly!" Michael added as he pointed his cannon right at her head. Soon, Robert, Steven, and Arya joined in pointing their weapons at Aquamarine. She only smirked as she teleported away in a puff of black smoke, as the automatons sprung to life and attacked our heroes.

The robot body of Pearl and Amethyst grabbed Michael by the arms and tried draining the power from his arm cannon.

Arya used telekinesis to swing the robot body of Garnet into the others, accidentally knocking Michael as well, into a wall. Steven helped Michael out of the wreckage as they continued deeper into the cave. Soon enough, they found White Diamond's gem connected to some kind of machine, turned on its side to act as some sort of display with the unconscious Kalinka laying in front of some kind of display. Our heroes peeked from behind a corner and saw Ond Mørk Dame approach the machine before dropping to the ground.

Aquamarine used her wand and pointed it at Ond Mørk Dame's body as it seemed to transform into some sort of grotesque spider mech, with one of the eyes becoming large and clear to act as a cockpit.

"The ritual begins," Aquamarine and Ond Mørk Dame said in unison. "First, we must sacrifice the eavesdroppers."

Steven and the Light children came forward and drawn their weapons.

"Steven! Are you surprised?" Aquamarine asked. "It was me, Aquamarine! I only assist the strong and able! That's me! You guys look pathetic! The Light Prognosticus has already made a prediction...But I won't let what the Light Prognosticus predicted take place. You humans will be beaten by Ond Mørk Dame! Ond Mørk Dame will be stronger, a more powerful entity than any other!

"Why?

"Because of me! I was led by Ond Mørk Dame, and now I'm here! The Light Prognosticus couldn't predict this! Mistress Ond Mørk Dame. No, Ond Mørk Dame is no longer the wielder of Darkness! She has become the embodiment of Darkness itself....which she cannot control on her own.

She is the Dark Power!" Aquamarine declared.

Aquamarine knew she seemed defeated. Topaz couldn't get her out of this one. "I understand you humans are already claiming to be some sort of heroes. Well, it's lightyears too late to oppose Ond Mørk Dame! Oh, you must feel insipid to keep fighting without knowing what Ond Mørk Dame TRULY looks like! If you were to ever see Ond Mørk Dame, you'd be so petrified with fear, you'd never be able to run away!"She taunted, sweating profusely "So do you want me to turn off the 'Diamond's Machine?' Well, prepare to be amazed!"

Raise your voices
All day long now,

Love grows strong now,
Sing a melody of love, Oh love...

While Ond Mørk Dame was distracted, Kalinka got up and aided her wounded children, as well as Steven.

The kids looked in tears as they saw their last hope. "M-Mom? I thought you were..." Michael started.

"I never died...the Dark realm is too much sometimes, and a mother's love never dies!" she said. "Have you read the last page of the Light Prognosticus?"

Robert opened the book. "You can't beat the darkness alone..." he read off. "What's that-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Kalinka was shot in the head by a stray laser

"Heh heh heh heh" they heard a voice call out. Aquamarine, looking absolutely petrified with fear while having just enough courage to taunt them. "You must really be at the end of your rope! And here you stand, waiting to be burned up with all the rest of the garbage of this universe. HAAAAAH! That's so sad, I can't help but shed a tear...get it?" She taunted, pointing to her gem, "You know, you're getting rather pale, you must be experiencing absolute terror! Isn't this terrifying? Do you want to scream for help here in the dark? Why not call your mommy! Say, 'Mommy, Daddy, I'm so scared, I might wet my trousers...oh wait, you can't!! Nobody can save you now! You are just another meal to Ond Mørk Dame!"

Aquamarine faded into the darkness surrounding our heroes.

Steven, Robert, Michael, and Arya looked at each other, having no idea what to do. Michael in particular felt hopeless, and fell to his knees. This gave Arya an idea. She fell to her knees as well, and prayed, "Please give us strength, anyone who can hear me, help us"

The watermelon Stevens felt a strange new sensation, and began praying for the safety of Steven and his friends...

Ond Mørk Dame's defenses became unstable.

Michael realized what Arya did, and tried doing the same, rather than attacking. "Hey, if anyone can hear me out there...We kind of need a hand. Speed this to the people of your home planet, wherever you are."

Steven couldn't think of anyone else, either, but still prayed.

In Ocean Town, a place not far from Beach City, there lived a hybrid much like Steven, Her name was Stellarya Star Biddwick. She heard Steven's call, and became anxious.

"What's wrong, sissy?" her younger sister, Sunny, asked.

"I-...I dunno...It's like I was being called for help." Stella responded.

"You should probably answer them," her mother replied, overhearing her daughter. "Rosie, you too."

Rosalina Buddwick sighed as she, her mother, Stella, and Sunny prayed for the safety of Steven and his friends, having never met them before.

The void surrounding them started to glow into a blinding light, revealing Aquamarine and "Ond Mørk Dame," now a weakened soul.

"You promised me complete power!" Aquamarine shouted "I went the distance, got what you wanted, now it's time for you to pay up!"

Lardna "Ond Mørk Dame" Jones was on the floor, panting. She glared at Aquamarine. Aquamarine still stood as Robert and Michael approached her. They, and Arya were frozen by her as Steven was left to sing the sacred song just one last time to end the Dark Mistress's threat against the universe once and for all. Steven knew what he had to, and began to sing...

"Take a melo-"

He was stopped when he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He turned to find none other than Pink Diamond with a somewhat hopeful look on her face.

"Steven. If you spare her, we can be together again! I can be your mother if you just spare her. We can go to the palace where you can eat all the cookie cats you want, play as much Golf Quest Mini as your heart desires. You would never have to go to school or do chores. You would never have to be hurt. Spare her, and this life is yours! Greg, Connie, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth and every other gem can live with you too. There will be no more war, no conflict, no more having to interact with people like Ronaldo or Kevin. And it will never end! Doesn't that sound wonderful?" She asked.

It did sound wonderful, tempting even. Steven turned to the frozen Light children. "What'll it be?" Pink Diamond asked. Steven knew that they wouldn't be able to partake in this lifestyle...what would become of them? He saw what happened to their father and mother, destroyed and broken with no remorse.

He looked up at Pink, she smiled, and Steven remembered all the pain she caused. How she only made Amethyst for the sake of being a back-up plan, how she lied to Garnet and Bismuth about her identity, how she essentially painted a target on his back before he was even born, how she doomed Earth and left Homeworld in ruin. There were probably even more people she hurt.

Now he knows she could have helped him and his friends while she was in the Dark realm, but she didn't. Instead, she left them to solve their problems on their own or be rescued by someone else. Steven pushed her hand off of him. "Sorry, Pink. After what you did to Garnet, Amethyst, Bismuth, the Diamonds, and me..." Steven replied, throwing his shield to release the Light children, They once again sung their song.

"Take a melody
Simple as can be

Give it some words and
Sweet harmony

Raise your voices
All day long now

Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of
Love, oh love

Love is the power
Love is the glory

Love is the beauty
And the joy of spring

Love is the magic
Love is the story

Love is the melody
We all can sing..."

The blinding light surrounded our heroes, as all who were consumed by the darkness at the hands of Ond Mørk Dame were restored to their glory.

Ond Mørk Dame was consumed by the Light...

The war against Ond Mørk Dame is over...

Our heroes then found themselves awaken in White Diamond's throne room. The Diamonds, the Crystal Gems, and Dr. Light stood over them as they started to stir.

As soon as they awoke, they were tackled in a hug from all angles

"H-How did you make it out?" Steven asked as soon as they let go.

They cleared a path to reveal Shadow Agate. "I saw their gems sitting in the abyss and White's gem was particularly frustrating to pull out because it was stuck in some kind of machine" she explained.

Dr. Light scratched the back of his head. "I...forgot to account for how easy it was for the gems to fall out of the robots." he explained, blushing.

"Wait, where's Mom and Dad?" Robert asked, hoping their lives would be restored. Everyone looked awkwardly at him, not sure how to break the news to him.

"We're sorry...but your father..."Pearl started

"He was too withered to bring back to life, We tried putting him in Rose's fountain as soon as we could, but...there was nothing we could do..." Ivy replied.

"And I looked all over for your mom...She's gone..." Shadow Agate replied. "But hey, at least you have a magic house to yourself, I'm told."

Robert, Michael and Arya shook their heads.

"When we were born, Mom said she cast a spell on the house so when she and Dad died, it would cease to exist..." Arya replied.

The Crystal Gems went back to Earth, and sure enough, the house was gone, as if it was never there.

"W-Well...Arya, you can live in the Temple if you want." Steven offered. Arya wrapped her arms around Steven, crying tears of sadness and joy, mostly the former. Ms. Maheswaran appeared behind Michael. "We'll take you in, as long as you do your chores and stay out of trouble." She offered.

"Done." Michael replied.

Robert turned to Lapis, hoping she would at least give him a hug. She refused, explaining his comment about fusion got under her skin too much. Robert nodded in understaning, knowing how that would hurt. Not wanting to cause anymore harm, he tossed Steven the keys to his car.

"Consider it an early christmas present" he said before giving Michael his sword, and walking away. When he crossed the Beach City Limits, he turned back one last time, and smiled before walking away.

And so ends the tale of Robert Light.
