"How do you know my name?" Steven asks.

"You don't remember?" Pearl asks, "it's me, Pearl. One of the Crystal Gems."

"Why are you here?" Steven demands, "why are you hurting my friends?"

"Friends?" Pearl asks, "you can't trust what these gems have told you Steven. Rose Quartz..."

"And why should I trust you?" Steven asks, "if you know Rose, you're evil. They already told me what Rose did. She shattered hundreds, even Pink Diamond."

Pearl is taken aback by this response. She never wanted Steven to learn that.

"Steven," Pearl pleads, "listen to me. If you don't believe me, just head to Beach City. Trust me."

"No," Steven replies, "you hurt my friends, my family. I won't forgive you for that."

Steven throws his shield at Pearl. Pearl deflects it with her spear. Steven remembers something, the gem destablizer. He has to find it. The shield magically returns to his hand, disappearing from the beach, and reappearing in Steven's left hand. Steven flees into the house.

"Steven wait!" Pearl yells. She follows Steven. Steven looks through the disorganized house, desperately searching for Peridot's invention. "Ah ha!" He exclaims as he finds it just as Pearl barges in.

"Steven!" She excliams, "wait!"

Steven turns on the destablizer and lunges, zapping Pearl. Her form begins to collapse. "I'm sorry Rose," she sheds a single tears just before she poofs, "I've failed you." Pearl poofs.

Steven grips Pearl's gem. Even though he knows she was with Rose, he can't seem to shatter her. His gem glows and a bubble appears around the white stone. Steven taps the top of it, and it dissapears, sent to the temple.

Steven goes outside. The others have yet to reform. He bubbles a purple gem, a red gem, and a blue gem. He wonders why there's four, but decides not to question it.

Just as he bubbles Sapphire, Lapis reforms, her form is rushed, and almost collapses in on itself before stabilizing.

"You stay away from Steven you good for nothing Crystal Gems!" She exclaims. She notices that the Crystal Gems are nowhere to be seen, and sees Steven, holding a pink bubble.

"Steven," Lapis asks, "what are you doing?"

Steven turns around, unsure how to respond...
