There is one last thing for us to do now. We need to find Lapis and get her to safety. I need to apologize to her for everything and I...what would I even do after I rescue her? Should I run away with her? Should we live in the ocean together and stay there as a fusion similar to that of Malachite?

What would she do after it's all over? We've made too many mistakes and we've changed the wrong way. If only I knew. How would she think of me after what has happened? She tried fusing with me...and I crushed her gem. It's safe to assume she's in her mirror form right now.

Or is she really getting corrupted this time? Oh no. This is all my fault! Where is she? What happened to her? How can I find her? I don't know what to do! I look up with a grimace to see the railroad tracks. Nothing is active at the moment. It's dead silent.

"Well, here we are. Now what do we do?" I gulp before I grip my teeth. I really didn't think this one through! I turn towards the two giants. "We...
wait?" I shrug as they narrow their eyes. "AMETHYST, REALLY?!"
"CLEARLY, I CAN SEE WHY YOU WERE NEVER A LEADER TO BEGIN WITH!"

I stomp my foot to reproach them. "I'm sorry, alright?! I'm just a defective Amethyst who can only do so much to help you guys! But all you want to do is throw me under the bus as I suffer, wasting away every erotic moment possible just so I have a will to keep on existing!"

Jasper and Bismuth stop glaring at me as I pant. They exchange solemn looks before they sigh. "What are we doing? All we wanted to do was...well, do something. Besides us, what do we have to exist for?" I look down. "Love. And action. And maybe some responsibilities to take care of."

I look away from them. "I don't get it anymore. Why are we still here, guys? What did Rose expect us to do when the war ended?" Bismuth looks up. "She...wanted us to be free. Free from the Diamond Authority. Free from heavy labor. Free from abuse...and torture. Free...from the darkness within ourselves."

I look up. "This whole thing is my fault. Because of Eloc, we lost everything. He wanted all of this happen so he can manipulate us into tearing each other apart one-by-one. But what I don't get is...if he's an all-powerful demon, then why is he wasting his time with us?"

I turn back to the railroad tracks as I place my hand on a metal pole which is the sign that would flash when the trains pass by. "Why is he doing all of this? Why am I doing all of this? Why is everything falling apart the way it is? Why? Why, Eloc?" I hear an engine in the distance.

I look both ways to see if a train is coming...but there isn't one. Yet, an engine is roaring as it's getting closer to us. I hear a gulp as well right next to me as a hand touches my shoulder. "Guys, we got a problem." I turn back to them and my heart sinks.

Nearing towards us is a van. Greg's van. But Greg isn't the one whose driving. Steven stands on top of the van with his arms folded as a fusion grimaces at the sight of me. I gawk at what's in front of me. "She didn't!"

The van stops and Garnet swings the door open as she steps out of it.
She slams the door shut as she glares at me. "I warned you." She places a hand on her visor to take it off, revealing three eyes. "We warned you about this!"
