"Congratulations Greg!" Amethyst exclaims, she slaps the man's back, causing Greg to grieve a little due to his recent success. On the other hand Steven and Spinel gave him loud applause, Pearl did something similar with a bluish blush but without making as much scandal as the other duo, Peridot for her part did not understand so much fuss.

"It seems very good to me that you use part of the money to rebuild the house, it is not healthy that Steven has to sleep in the barn or in your van" The white gem stands out with gratitude, although trying not to be too close to the human, Greg for his part nods and then scratches the back of his head somewhat distressed by the compliment of Pearl "It will be better than now Peridot and I go to work on the rejuvenator" Pearl rushes with the box that carried the tools of the moon base.

The green gem followed the white gem, while Amethyst stays a little further there "Do you think Sapphire has already returned?" The purple gem is questioned, to which the group had mixed opinions.

"Probably she already returned to the barn" Pearl sentences simply, although she felt some guilt for the flight of the bluish gem, which they had not seen for almost a whole day. On the other hand the older human had another opinion.

"Sapphire needs space, maybe not yet back yet but she will know when to return" Greg exclaims kindly, Amethyst for her part nods and leaves the beach, so that finally Pearl and Peridot could go to the barn, the workers would take some time in rebuilding the house, a couple of months probably "Do you want to go to the barn or go to the Steven car wash?" The father offers the boy.

"Let's go to the barn" Steven smiles happily, to which father and son, accompanied by Spinel, head towards the barn, going a few blocks behind the gems. Ruby had fallen asleep again inside Greg's van, and at that time it was impossible to get her out.

The trio walks singing a little song "Dad, what will you use so many millions of dollars for?" Steven exclaims curiously, to which his father after thinking a few moments laughs without knowing very well what to say, certainly for Greg it was a bit embarrassing to talk about millions of dollars, he had never had so much.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe I buy some things for the car wash, there is a point where a person should not know what to do if he has a lot of money" The adult mentions jokingly. In any case that was not the main idea in the mind of the hybrid at that time.

"... Invite Pearl to an elegant dinner" Steven rushed and excited, causing his father to almost fall, but the adult recovered, Greg quickly denied his son's request.

"Now? Steven, Pearl is very busy. We are literally trying to prevent the world from ending." The adult excuses himself while blushing trying to avoid the inquisitive and pleading look that Steven gave him, Greg chuckles uncomfortably trying to overcome the situation.

"We already agreed that it would be after taking care of The Cluster. Or were you planning to do it now?" Steven sentences with a smile, to which Greg blushes and rushes to deny.

Extra: It would happen more or less between chapter 28 and this one on 32. Jasper Bizarre Adventure in Korea.

[In Korea]

On the shores of the Korean peninsula, an orange gem came out of the ocean covered by salt water, seaweed and even an octopus, being greeted by a series of frightened humans who were on the coast at the time, starting to run for the apparition Jasper, who in turn moved at high speed to get rid of everything about her.

The orange gem watches the coast for a few moments, she did not understand the signs on the signs and the humans looked somewhat different from those she had seen before "Hey" Jasper exclaims hastily grabbing an elderly couple who just passed by, very similar to Steven "Have you seen a gem? Of this size, it's blue, she wears blue, she is over 4000 years old" Jasper explains pointing with his hands the size of Lapis, but then she realizes that she doesn't understand anything at all of what the Korean elders tell her.

"Hell" Jasper throws the elders away and begins to walk inside the Korean peninsula looking for Lapis under the stones, inside the buildings, in vending machines, temples, gardens and benches, basically in any place. Meanwhile the orange gem had kidnapped a person who like her seemed to speak English too.

[Days after]

Jasper had discarded the human who spoke English, she had already mastered Korean and had learned to read the alphabet of the peninsula language, she had already traveled most of the southern part and had the north, now taking advantage not only of her speed and strength, but she also takes advantage of her knowledge to communicate with the inhabitants. The most annoying were the police and the military, who when trying to stop her shot her and forced the gem to take care of them.

At that time it was an exception, they had retired or perhaps they had lost Jasper's trail, that place was a prohibited area for the public to access, it was full of nature, lush vegetation that had flooded almost any trace of what that place in reality hides. The orange gem at the beginning did not give much importance, but after walking a few meters by the apparent empty she found something.

A structure half demolished, but she knew well, pink "My Diamond!" Jasper hurries, she runs against the structure "The palanquin of Pink Diamond" The soldier exclaims stunned by what she saw in front of her teary eyes. Suddenly an immense anger had begun to run through the entire body of the gem.

Suddenly a vision of times past seemed to form around her, the palanquin was intact, hundreds of gems from the Pink Diamond court gathered around her, receiving her beloved Diamond, an uncontrollable euphoria invaded Jasper at that moment, everything that she had known was the rebellion, this was what a life of war had taken from her "My Diamond!" Jasper starts cheering along with all the other gems.

A small figure compared to her sisters began to leave the palanquin, with pink clothes and fluffy hair, there seemed to be no Pearls or Quartz soldiers around, something was wrong, Jasper felt it deep in her mind. Among that crowd in euphoria, Jasper tries to move in the direction of Pink Diamond, but it was a situation very similar to the ocean in which Lapis had submerged her.

She could not move, and if she had lungs she would have been restricted by oxygen, that tide of gems was just as enticing and suffocating, her voice was also tiny next to such a large crowd. However, what people, except for Jasper had not noticed, was the figure of a Quartz and a Pearl in front of Pink Diamond, the Quartz was very different from the rest of her comrades, she did not have the clothes of a soldier, but a long white dress.

Jasper identifies the quartz as Rose Quartz, at that time the orange gem turns into a sphere and coils all the gems around it to reach Rose Quartz, whose sword was unsheathing in front of Pink Diamond, when the loyal soldier had arrived , she only found a huge dark void and the pink fragments of the Diamond.

Around there was only one other figure, Rose Quartz "You! What did you do ?!" Jasper lashes angrily at the other quartz, but Rose Quartz's eyes did not represent any emotion other than tremendous indifference, as Jasper enjoyed destroying her vision, she had no name or words to describe it, she had fun breaking a gem. And how to blame Jasper? As she was, that looks fair.

The place where Jasper was supposed to be had changed again, now it was a yellow court, quite empty, an oppressive but familiar environment for the orange gem, in front of her was Yellow Diamond, sitting on her throne, there were no other gems next to Jasper, only she and "her" Diamond. In part Jasper felt disconnected from the Diamond, it was not made to serve her, and serving her was never her purpose.

"Peridot Facet 2F5L Cut 5XG has brought the reports of her mission to Earth" Yellow Diamond begins seriously, of course she did not expect Jasper's response, it was not as if she had an opinion to give or anything like that "...She informs that The Cluster is progressing, but on Earth there are ... gems. The Crystal Gems "The Diamond sentence and a gigantic weight falls on Jasper's shoulders, almost like a bucket of cold water on her face.

"We can't let the rebel scum still stand!" Yellow Diamond sentences with an outburst of anger in his voice, improper of the usually logical and pragmatic character that always showed that Diamond "You will be sent with Peridot Facet 2F5L Cut 5XG and the imprisoned Lapis Lazuli. Eliminate the Crystal Gems" Yellow Diamond orders seriously , electricity fills the environment and the only thing Jasper can do is give a smile.

That moment could have been the best moment in the life of quartz, the emotion that ran through Jasper's entire body could only be defined as the satisfaction of the beginning of a hunt, the revenge of bitter defeat, her desire to destroy Crystal Gems knows no limit after that moment with Yellow Diamond.

******

Curiously in the same place a small red ship from the planet of Yellow Diamond had landed, 5 Rubies descended, each with the gem in a different position, beginning to inspect the area, the leader was Ruby-1F4 Cut-4ND , whose gem was in one of his eyes "Let's look for the leader of the mission to Earth!" The Ruby exclaims cheering, with the rest of her team doing the same.

The first to find Jasper in her weakest state mentally at that time was the Ruby with a gem in her chest, later it was the Ruby with her gem in her leg, the third was the Ruby with a gem in her abdomen and the last one was the Ruby with the gem on her shoulder. Unfortunately each one exploded, broken by a sudden attack by Jasper in that unconscious state.

"Rubies?" The Ruby with the gem in her eye asks, she had finished inspecting her area and now she couldn't find her little companions in the mission, authoritatively asking where they were, because they had to continue their mission. The Ruby walked for several moments, touring the areas of all her companions, until she had finally reached the area of the first Ruby to be broken by the orange gem "Jasper!" The Ruby with the gem in her eye exclaims hurriedly in excitement.

"Mh?" Jasper asks confused, just seconds ago that she had recovered, a reddish dust bathed parts of her body while the largest fragments were those of her fingers "Who are you?" Jasper questions the Ruby with authority, who quickly greets her after the nervousness that the legendary gem will speak to her.

"Ruby-1F4 Cut-4ND! To serve you madam! I was sent by Yellow Diamond to retrieve the mission leader to Earth!" The Ruby informs delightedly, she almost has an euphoria attack. Jasper nodded with interest, she cleans herself without giving much importance to the strange dust she had on her body, the larger fragments had simply fallen to the ground without any of the gems noticing.

"Understood ... Then we go with Yellow Diamond" Jasper sentences simply after a few moments, following the excited Ruby heading for her ship. Actually Jasper also had a request for her Diamond, perhaps she would be very excited to know what had happened in the long absence of the orange gem reporting.
