Greg and Steven were now playing the finally song. And that's when they fused.

. Both of them then begin to glow, followed by a huge cloud of smoke, as the audience cheers on.

"UM GREG!?" Pearl shouted worried

"STEVEN?" Spinel shouted worried

As the smoke clears, an unfamiliar, four-armed man, bearing a long mane of hair, a wild pompadour, and a double-necked guitar emerges from the mist.

Y/n smiled in glee. So did Amethyst. "They fused!" Y/n whispered happily.

"It's a big, old universe out there. And when you're gettin' crushed under the weight of them stars... Well, sometimes, you need that special someone to remind you that you're so much more." Steg said.

Pearl seemed so confused.

The new fusion, Steg, begins strumming his guitar, sweeping Buck off his feet with the sheer energy of his strumming, as he starts to perform "Independent Together."

" Nothing's holding you back now
No one can push you around
What do you wanna do?

You're the master of you,
Andisn't the thought enough to liftyou off of the ground? "

Steg's gem power then activates, enveloping a starstruck Pearl in a pink aura, and they both levitate off of the ground. Steg grabs Pearl's hand, twirls her around and throws her high into the sky.

"♫ Nothing is holding me back now
No one can push me around
What do I wanna be?
I'm the master of me
And isn't the thought enough to lift me off of the ground? ♫" Pearl sang.

Pearl slowly rediscovers her independence as she sings Steg's song. Amethyst pulled Y/n onto the stage to  then joins the two onstage, and Steg begins levitating all four of them into the sky.

" We could be independent together!
Independent together, we can fly!
Independent together,
Independent together!
Independent together, you and I! "

Spinel and Garnet watch in awe as Steg, Amethyst, Y/n and Pearl fly into the sky. A starstruck Pearl quickly regains her memories, as she begins reforming in a colorful display, cycling between the forms she took while under Rose's service, until she reforms back to her current self.

Lion invites Garnet to hop on his back, and they levitate into the sky too, as a dejected Spinel watches from below.

" High above an endless sea,
No one brought us here but me
Every step and every choice,
It's my fault, it's my thought, it's my words, it's my voice! "

Celebrating Pearl's return, y/n embraced Pearl with a hug in mid air then Amethyst and Pearl begins dancing together in the sky. They both dive down from the sky, fusing together before landing on the stage. Opal appears as she pulls Pearl's bass from her gem and plays it together with Steg.

Steg holding up y/n with on arm and the rest playing the guitar.

" Independent together,
Independent together, if we try! " opal sang now holding Y/n. Y/n just laughing.

Lion invites Garnet to hop on his back, and they levitate into the sky too, as a dejected Spinel watches from below.

" Independent together,
Independent together!
Independent together, you and I!
Independent together,
Independent together, we can fly! "
———
Towards the end of the song. The audience cheers loudly as Steg unfuses back into Steven and Greg.

Y/n acknowledged the disappearance of Spinel.

Y/n looked around and saw a pink figure runaway. With the little energy of Y/n. She decided to her and Nel separated.

"Y/n?!" Steven looked down at y/n seeing she's as worse as him.

"I saw spinel! She left. We have to get her. Pearl what do you know about her?"  Y/n said.

"Spinel? She was Pink Diamond's little playmate. They used to spend ages together in Pink's garden-"

"Garden?" Steven questioned.

"That's where they used to play!" Pearl added.

Y/n blocked out the rest of comments and struggled through the people.

Faint shouts of the gems calling out to Y/n in the background but she ignored it.

"Hey! Get on!" Y/n turned and saw Steven on Lion.

Steven , y/n and  Lion ride off to the house, striding across the tainted waters, while Steven clutches his gem in pain and exhaustion.

"Just this morning, everything was perfect. Why did everything have to change?! I want my happily ever after back!" Steven complained.

"We just need to find spinel. Get her memories and try and reason with her. I'm sure she'll come to her senses. I know she will. Hopefully.." y/n muttered.

As they arrive at the front of the Beach House, a glow shines from within Steven's conservatory.

"That might me her!" Y/n said already getting off Lion and running up the beach house stairs.

Steven slowly peeks into his conservatory from the doorway and sees Y/n already there comforting spinel.

"Good thing is she's getting her memories back. I think" y/n said.

"Did you mention the garden?" Steven asked walking up to the warp pad.

"The garden?" Spinel questioned.

"Anything coming back to you?"  Steven added kneeling down as well.

Remembering her past, Spinel briefly smiles, looking back on her happy memories... before degrading into a destroyed frown.

"NO!"

Spinel slams her fists into the warp pad, activating it, and it warps them away.

"Spinel, where are we going?!" Steven asked.

"Back... to where I never left..."

On a warp pad in the middle of a desolate garden.
