(Narrator's POV)

After disposing of Aquamarine and Eyeball Ruby, the Pantheon got back on their ship and were ready to set a course to Earth. However…..

"Alright. Let's get this ship up and moving and....BLAST IT ALL! The power core is drained! Gah!" Cobalt roared as Beryl sighed. Due to their sudden self imposed exile, the Pantheon had to use an older model ship when they departed. Needless to say, it had finally given out on them. And while Cobalt was furious, the others didn't seem to care as much.

"Calm down, Barbarian. Either of the Commanders can teleport us--" She began to say until...

"No need for that. Our replacement ship is about to head our way." Dark Aura Onyx said as Cobalt looked confused.

"How? No one on Homeworld would--" She began to say until Fire Agate stopped her.

"Look. Out there." He said as the ship in question was now in sight:.

The Sun Incinerator.

"Isn't that Emerald's old ship? The one that was taken from her by some organic and a group of defective Gems? Why not just kill them and use it for ourselves?" Cobalt asked as Beryl chuckled.

"Amazing. You actually CAN comprehend certain things. I figured all you were good for was utter chaos." She chuckled, angering Cobalt! But before the barbaric Gem could respond…

"Enough. If you two are going to bicker, then the two of us will go take care of this." Dark Aura Onyx said as he and Fire Agate teleported onto the ship just as it approached, frightening the crew on board!

"Who the heck are you guys?!?" Lars snapped as Rhodonite scolded him, worry and fear in her voice!

"Lars! Don't make them mad! These two are two of the deadliest Gems to ever exist!" She exclaimed as Fire Agate laughed.

"At least one of you knows your place. Now then: Let's get to the point: We'll be taking command of your ship." He said as the whole crew froze in fear….

*Meanwhile back on Earth….*

After taking care of the issue at Little Homeworld, Pearl met up with Amethyst and Bismuth.

"Hey you two. Still can't get Garnet to open up?" Bismuth asked as Amethyst sighed.

"No. I don't understand. It's things like these that make me wish Steven was still here. He'd be able to talk to Garnet easily." She said as Pearl shook her head.

"No. You know we all agreed to let Steven be at peace and enjoy his life. I know he loves Garnet as much as the rest of us, but she'd even say to leave him be." The Pale Gem said as Connie came up to them.

"Hey. Just saw Peridot and she looked upset." She explained as Bismuth shook her head.

"Ugh. If this is about us saying no to her idea of a class about the CPH fan community...." The builder Gem said with a groan as Connie giggled at the idea.

"Haha! No that's not it. She apparently got chewed out by Garnet earlier. But I didn't know Garnet had been to Greece." The girl said as Amethyst looked at her in confusion.

"Uh she hasn't as far as we know. Why?" The Purple Gem asked.

"Really? Then why did she let something about "The Pantheon" slip out? Once she let that slip, she just stopped, apologized to Peridot and left." Connie said as Pearl and Bismuth looked at the girl in pure shock and horror before looking at each other in the same fashion.

"What's up with you two all of a sudden?" Amethyst asked as Pearl looked at Bismuth who nodded before heading back to the forge.

"We have to go talk to Garnet. Why would she mention the Pantheon? I thought they were...gah...never mind." Pearl said as Connie looked confused.

"I'll come too. I left my math book there anyway." She said as she followed Pearl and Amethyst back to the Temple to confront Garnet..

*Meanwhile, back on the Sun Incinerator...*

The Off Colors were in pure fear as Dark Aura Onyx chuckled. He and Fire Agate had taken control of the ship, forcing it onto Autopilot and allowing them to terrorize Lars and his crew.

"Hmm. You...You're a Rhodonite. But I wonder if you're the same one....? Only one way to find out..." Dark Aura Onyx said as his hands glowed.

"W-what?!? NO! PLEASE NO!!! NOT AGAIN!!" Rhodonite screamed as she felt herself being pulled apart as the other Off Colors were paralysed with fear!

"PUT HER DOWN, YOU PSYCHOS!! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE HURTING HER?!?" Lars yelled as Fire Agate chuckled.

"Hmm. Sorry. I don't quite understand the barking of you humans."  The Gem Commander said, angering Lars further!

"BARKING?!? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE..Guhh!" Lars gasped as he hit the floor with a thud after being impaled by Fire Agate's blade.

"Who am I? Someone who grew tired of your barking." He said coldly as Dark Aura Onyx continued ripping at Rhodonite until...

"GGAAAAHHHHHH!" Rhodonite screamed as she was ripped apart into two separate Gems: A Ruby and a Pearl.

"Heh..yep. You're the same one. Too bad we have to cut this reunion short...along with your lives." Dark Aura Onyx said as Fire Agate summoned his blade and within the blink of an eye..

*SMASH*

Shards were scattered all over the floor along with the dead body of Lars as Fire Agate and Dark Aura Onyx surveyed the scene as the ship landed on the surface where Cobalt and Beryl were waiting.

"Ah. I see you two were successful." Beryl said as she and Cobalt saw the handiwork of the two Gem Commanders.

"Ugh. What's that red liquid coming out of that organic? It's making a puddle!" Cobalt exclaimed as Beryl rolled her eyes.

"You've ended countless lives and THIS disgusts you? For shame, Cobalt." She said as Dark Aura Onyx set the course for Earth.

Uh oh! Lars and the Off Colors bit the dusto and now the Pantheon is headed for Earth! Can they be stopped? See ya next chapter!
