Steven, Lapis, Peridot, and the Crystal Gems all gasp as the Ruby starts looking around.
"Ruby? Whoa-?"
Garnet grabs the back of Steven's shirt and pulls him away. Everyone retreats back inside the barn as a Ruby with a gem as an eye lands on the ground, growls, and walks away. Another Ruby with a gem on her shoulder jumps out of the hatch and begins making fighting noises and poses.
One of the many Rubies picks up a flower and kicks it. "Hi-ya!" She cartwheels away
One the Rubies pops out and gasps with excitement. "What a lovely planet!" They walk away happily
Another Ruby sticks her head out nervously. "Wait! So we just... get out and walk around? Whoa-!"
The nervous ruby gets shoved out of the eye by a higher rank ruby. In the background, the ruby with an arm gem can be seen kicking a twig.
"Now, where's the Gem the scanners locked on to?" The high-ranking ruby looks around."Let's fan out and search the area!"
Steven peeks out of the door from inside the barn to look at the five rubies from Homeworld.
"Whoa, look at 'em all!" Steven says
Peridot peeks over, too, on top of Steven, Turquoise peaks over Peridot as well. "I knew it. They're after me! This is THE END of the line!"
"You really weren't kidding." Lapis says
"I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod... to her face." Peridot says freaking out a little
"Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod." Pearl says
"Hey, she never calls me a clod," Turquoise says slightly offended
Turquoise looks down at Peridot
"It's because I like you." Peridot says honestly
"True."
"but not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to shatter me!"
"What about me? If Peridot had never heard of a turquoise before me, what would happen if one of those Rubies sees me? What could that mean for us?" Turquoise asks
Peridot scampers to a box of baseball equipment, dumps out the contents, and hides inside the box.
"Peridot, we won't let them get you." Turquoise lifts up the box
"But haven't I caused you enough trouble?" Peridot asks, hiding her face in her arms
"Of course not," Turquoise kneels and picks Peridot and holds her hands
"Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home." Garnet says
"And that includes... clods like you." Turquoise says with a smile
Peridot whispers, "That's my word..."
"Listen up, everyone. I have a plan. Or should I say... We have a plan." Garnet holds up her hands and giggles. She then begins to unfuse, separating into Ruby and Sapphire, holding hands with each other.
