I apologize for not publishing yesterday, and I am even more sorry for writing a short chapter only an hour away from midnight in my time zone.

Anyway, this prewrite is for Ellie, and if you want to see what's in here, go ahead. I don't mind.

So, Ellie, I had Samuel create two videos for me, and allowed me to upload them on my YouTube channel to create two videos for you. One video will demonstrate all the gadgets in Arkham Edition being used, so you know how they all work (because I sometimes don't do a good job explaining their purpose in great detail) and the other video is how normal fight scenes go and why I don't write fights for normal rebels.

Third Person Omniscient.

Earth:

Peridot was sighing as she stared at her screen that was giving her undesired information about the injector. She was alone here, Bismuth was taking care of the rejuvenated gems and Lapis was transporting humans from Homeworld back to Earth after they've been rescued by Steven. So, until Steven comes back, Peridot has to deal with this huge mess all alone.

Or so she thought...

She heard the sound of watery wings and a mechanical hum from behind her. She turned around and saw Lapis and Huge Gigantacus on his floating chair waiting for her to turn around.

"Oh, hey Lapis and...?" Peridot trails off when she doesn't know Huge Gigantacus' real name.

"Huge Gigantacus is fine." The little man finished for her.

"Or HG." Lapis added on.

"Don't call me that..." Huge Gigantacus sighs.

"He's here to help stop the injector." Lapis explains. "After all, he made it."

"Oh, well, have a go at it." Peridot moves to the side.

Huge Gigantacus maneuvers his chair to take him to her screen so he can read it. "Hmm..."

Peridot notices that she is taller than the little man by a foot or two, which also means that Amethyst and Ruby are taller than him. She would laugh, but if the little man hears it, he would shatter both her and Lapis.

"It appears that the clown has taken full control of the injector." Huge Gigantacus recites.

"I knew that, but how do we stop it?" Peridot asks.

"Well... If the clown would be so kind and give me control of the injector, I could deactivate it." Huge Gigantacus said. "But we all know that is a very slim chance. Another way is to blow the injector to smithereens, but that would require a lot of explosives and we don't have any around. What's the time limit until the injector is empty?"

"About four hours." Peridot whimpers, knowing that Steven won't be happy if he knew how close the Earth was from being destroyed.

Huge Gigantacus lets out a chuckle. "You're really close to letting this planet die."
