"What the heck just happened?" Lars groans.

Steven just hugs Lars tightly, "Lars! You saved us! You stopped the Robonoids, but- but one of them exploded, and- and you weren't moving, and I started crying." Steven quickly rambles before he gasps in realization. "I brought you back to life! It was an accident. I mean, I probably would've done that on purpose if I had known I could do that, but I didn't really ask your permission, so I'm sorry."

Lars just looks at Steven confused. "Back to life? So I was... away from life?" Lars asks as he looks at his body. " Aah! I'm pink!" He cries.

"Ah! I know!" Steven says surprised by it too.

"Do you feel okay Lars?" Y/n asks trying to calm him down.

"I don't... really know." Lars replies.

"But your body, are you sore?" Steven asks.

"No." Lars says.

"Are you tired?" Steven asks now.

"... No." Lars answers.

"Do you feel good?" Steven asks next.

"No?" Lar says unsure.

"Do you feel bad!?" Steven worries. 

"No?! I guess I just feel really freaked out?" Lars says.

"Well, I am, too, so at least we're on the same page here." Steven says.

A Looming noise is then heard in the distance.

"They're back. Those Shattering Robonoids are back!" Rhodonite cries.

"Quickly... Block the entrance..." Fluorite says.

The Rutile Twins, Rhodonite and Fluorite run off to block the entrance.

"Lars, you stay here and rest. Steven and I have got this." Y/n tells him as he and Steven quickly follow the others*

"All right." Lars says sitting down.

"I predict, Lars will change in hue. What a mystery!" Padparadscha suddenly says from beside Lars.

Rhodonite and the Rutile Twins begin pushing a large rock towards the entrance. Y/n and Steven quickly join them and Steven pushes the rock with great strength, surprising the other two Gems.

"Whoa, strong." The Rutile twins comment.

"The power of a Quartz I guess..." Y/n mutters quietly as he, Steven, Rhodonite and the Rutile Twins successfully push the rock into place.

"Is this gonna be enough?" Rhodonite quietly asks.

"It's the best we can do for now." Y/n says as he looks at the blocked entrance.

The red scanning beams from the Robnoids shine from the gap in the entrance are heard, and the noises fade in distance, as the Robonoids move on elsewhere.

"They..seem...to have...overlooked us...for...the time...being..." Fluorite comments.

"Quickly, block the entrance!" Padparadscha cries.

"As long as I'm here, they're gonna keep coming after us." Steven says.

"It's true. This was a horrible plan." Rhodonite says.

"Maybe we should try to find a new hiding spot?" Y/n suggests.

"No, no, no! If we leave this cavern, we'll be completely exposed." Rhodonite tells him.
