A thunderous scream suddenly erupted in Steven's mind, although more than a single scream it was millions together, due to the shock the hybrid rises at once, resulting in its forehead bumping into the metal of the drill "Auch ... "Steven complains while rubbing his sore forehead, but suddenly he felt a hug around his body.

"Steven!" Spinel exclaims very happy, but tears ran down her cheeks like a waterfall while she clung to Steven and they leave the drill, the vision of the hybrid is not yet in its best conditions, in fact the human was unable to see the Sun by a gigantic shadow over the heads of the duo "Peridot, Steven woke up!" The pink gem screams as she happily swings Steven.

"Spinel, what happened?" Steven asks in dismay, although this does not mean that he corresponds to the embrace of the pink gem that is still attached to his face from cheek to cheek, while on the other hand passing under a gigantic object, Peridot arrives from the outside.

"Steven. How are you? ... It's been about ... 24 hours or so," Peridot greets indifferently until she finally collapses whining on the floor, to Steven's even greater confusion.

"Wait ... Spinel, do we defeat The Cluster ?!" Steven asks when suddenly he remembered something, like Spinel, Peridot and he embarked on the drill to stop the gigantic geo-weapon before it will enter its full phase, at first there was a smile between the hybrid and the pink gem.

"Yes! ... In 55% or 60%, in the rest of the percentage it was a defeat" Spienl sentenced after a few moments, surprising Steven who looks shocked up to where one of Spinel's fingers pointed, even In spite of the lack of light, he could tell that on them was a gigantic amount of perfectly cut gems, giving rise to a kind of dome "Steven ... Don't you remember what happened?" Spinel asks the hybrid, he nods embarrassed and bewildered "Let me explain"

[24 hours ago]

They go down more and more, Spinel hums a song and whistles as lively as she could, the interior of the drill was illuminated by lights as the trio descended more and more "Spinel. Can you stop?" Peridot asks with annoyance, while she tries to continue holding the levers of the drill, it was that, shedding her hair or starting to strangle the pink gem.

"Oh come on Peridot, don't put that long face" Spinel exclaims enthusiastically, she uses her fingers to form a small smile in Peridot, the green gem tried to break free of that but was in vain because of the insistence of the pink gem. At the moment Spinel then approached Steven "Are you going to become defeatist too, little Steven?" The pink gem asks the hybrid taking him by the cheeks.

"...Do not?" Steven exclaims with difficulty due to the movements of Spinel's hands on his face, but he articulates a small smile for Spinel, who for her part clings to Steven in a hug, finally leaving aside Peridot, who sighs with relief. "I really think we can do it Peridot!" The hybrid sentences with joy, he is cheered by the pink gem. The duo was optimistic, while Peridot kept his gaze fixed.

The more meters the drill drilled, suddenly there was no earth and rock, giving rise to a yellowish liquid substance "Is this lava, Peridot?" Steven asks with great curiosity the green gem, which makes a kind of laugh with mockery.

"It is not lava, it is not even magma that would be a much more appropriate term, you are seeing magmatic rocks, mainly peridotite" The green gem sentences simply, surprising Steven for the answer, watching with curiosity around him. More profound than a human had never come.

"Peridot, greet your relatives" Spinel exclaims with joy distracting Peridot from driving to look at the window and the peridotite, a gesture of the pink gem that receives a mock and sarcastic laugh of the green gem.

"Ha ha. Very funny Spinel" Peridot sentence and she tries to return to work, when suddenly a limb hits the window of the drill chamber, scaring the trio, although the limb does nothing to them, since they finally pass her descent, that was a surprise "It could have been one of the test Cluster, or perhaps a detachment from The Cluster" Peridot analyzes, she tries to calm her allies.

"I hope that all is well up" Steven says, finally he clings to himself, while Spinel for her part played with the hair of the hybrid to calm down after the shock.

*****

After a few more minutes of descending into peridotite, the drill falls on a kind of black orb, which inside contained The Cluster, the drill drills the rock entering a chamber similar to a cave that began to fill with peridotite "Admire...The Cluster "Peridot solemnly sentences, a cluster of approximately three million gems is observed. Steven's stomach is stirred, if Spinel had one at that time it would certainly do that too "Starting drilling" The green gem exclaims by activating buttons to try to pierce the outer layer of the Cluster.

At first it seems to work, the glass layer surrounding the Cluster was being drilled, but some gems began to shine inside. "Demons, demons, demons." Peridot curses frustrated when the drill stops, unable to pierce one of the layers of exterior glass of The Cluster.

"Is it going to transform ?!" Steven and Spinel ask in alarm, suddenly a thunderous sound pierces that place, similar to what the corrupt gems of the ocean had done before.

"Sorry! You know! We don't arrive on time!" Peridot screams terrified, trying to continue drilling the Cluster in the meantime, but it seemed to lead to nothing.

"Girls! I love you!" Steven pale sentence, he clings as he can to Spinel and trying to reach Peridot, but at that moment he is knocked out. Spinel on the other hand tries to get out of there as quickly as possible, but a sudden scream floods the drill chamber, freezing Peridot, Spinel and even The Cluster.

[Present]

"... What happened?!" Steven asks stunned, he was surprised about Spinel's story, who seemed to be entertained by the exalted Steven.

"A lighthouse appeared and destroyed The Cluster, of course." The pink gem sentence, she touches the tip of the hybrid's nose with one of her fingers, only to find Steven's frustrated look.

"Very funny" The hybrid sentence.

"Of course, I'm a born comedian." Spinel smiles and she stands on her head with her legs extended. "But seriously, let me tell you as I finish." The pink gem exclaims, she suddenly lifts Steven's shirt and points to the pink gem of the navel of the hybrid before saying anything.

[Back to the past]

Suddenly there was another Steven in the drill, but this one was purely pink. Silence reigns now, where Peridot and Spinel look astonished at Pink Steven, who for his part without much emotion is fixed in his human counterpart, where Steven's gem was there was nothing "I will return" Pink Steven sentence without even looking at gems, but he opens the drill chamber.

"Wait! Who the hell are you ?!" Peridot asks alarmed when Pink Steven leaves there, the place did not stop filling with peridotite, although it was not yet completely full, there was still room to maneuver.

"What did you do to Steven ?!" Spinel suddenly exclaims annoyed, with her gem shining, seconds before she was looking stunned at the sick state of the hybrid and she tries to stretch to get to Pink Steven, but stopped dead when he generated a gigantic shield on him, formed by geometric figures.

"Spinel wait!" Peridot orders very worried, she tries to stop the pink gem from doing nothing stupid. At that moment Pink Steven of a movement of his hand cuts with his shield to The Cluster, pulverizing at that time half of the gems present within the geo-weapon, however in doing so the brightness of the rest was much greater, beginning to take physical form

"That will be enough for now." Pink Steven sentences indifferently, a pink aura covers him as he puts Spinel's hand back in the drill, closing from the outside. Pink Steven floated in the air like nothing, and he grabs the drill, and takes it out of the depths of the earth, finally reaching the surface. At first the gems do not know what to think, but on the surface suddenly Pink Steven broke the glass "Give it to me" Pink Steven orders, he points to Steven.

"... force me" Spinel sentence, she clings to the hybrid with small tears and refuses to release him, but then Pink Steven pounces on her, but to her surprise he simply disappears, fusing with the Steven of flesh and blood, who regained its color "Steven!" The pink gem calls cheerful, she tries to wake the hybrid to shake.

"We did it!" Peridotexclama in a cry of euphoria, she kisses the orange ground under her feet, it would have been a celebration, if it were not suddenly because a gigantic hole opens in the earth, whose sudden pressure releases the gigantic shell of The Cluster that Pink Steven had cut , which falls on the trio and the drill, but without harming them since it acted as a dome.

On the other hand something else comes out of that gigantic hole, a very damaged being now, similar to a larva with limbs and eyes all over its body, crawls and eats the earth that its multiple mouths find in its slow pace, screams come out of the mouths that did not eat because they did not find the ground they had to feed on. Its skin looks similar to that of muscle and cartilage, but accompanied by greenish colors.

Spinel places Steven in the drill, she sits outside watching, she waits for the hybrid to wake up "What do we do now?" Peridot discouraged question, directly to Spinel, she for her part just looks at Steven. Peridot goes outside, she sees as The Cluster, of a little less than a million and a half gems moved without apparent direction, wanting to destroy the planet although right now it could not.

[Present]

"... We fail ... Where is The Cluster ?!" Steven is alarmed, he is very worried, to which Peridot points out, she still had her face glued to the floor, the hybrid runs off trying to see the geo-weapon, although in the distance he could only see a white dot of considerable size, a little bigger than a city.

"Hey, Steven" The pink gem exclaims, she puts her hand on one of the shoulders of the hybrid, he looks at Spinel, who for her part cleans the tears from his face "Look at him! It's not soooo bad. I'm sure we can take care of him with a little effort "Spinel sentences with a small smile, she pretends to crush The Cluster with her fingers, taking advantage of the optical illusion that distance gave her.

"How?" Steven asks stunned, he cleans his nose after his prolonged crying.

"Do you remember the rejuvenator?" Spinel exclaims, suddenly a small smile begins to grow on Steven's face "That's what I wanted to see. Well, I have a plan. Let's go for Peridot" The pink gem sentence, she puts the hybrid on her shoulders and running towards the "dome" under which Peridot was, although due to lack of attention both collide and fall to the ground.

"Peridot!" The duo calls, to which the green gem crawls towards them "There is a way to take care of The Cluster!" The duo cheerfully exclaims, they stand up, to which Peridot gives a grunt of affirmation while the pink gem charges her to go to the portal of the Kindergarten Beta with the hybrid, heading to The Garden.

"Hey Steven, I have a question" Spinel innocently questions while the trio was traveling through the portal, Steven looks at her waiting for the question "What is love?" The pink gem sentence, to which Steven is speechless for a few moments.

"When you love someone very much, even when it is difficult or they are gone. Love is something ... very big" The hybrid sentences simply, a smile accompanies her face and to her surprise Spinel blushes, she finally steps on The Garden once again. Spinel clears and leaves Peridot on the ground, she stretches her upper train to the beach, to find the remains of the rejuvenator, which leads to Peridot.

Spinel clears and leaves Peridot on the ground, she stretches her upper train to the beach, to find the remains of the rejuvenator, which leads to Peridot.

"We did not lose" Spinel sentence, she regains her blushing color while Steven cheered, Peridot momentarily notices what her companion brings and a slight light of hope shows in her eyes.
