Steven Universe: Chipped [Pearl x OC]

Chapter 1-3: Cheeseburger Backpack

Another gem mission. Garnet said that she saw a vision of us fighting a corrupted gem in the form of a giant bird and finally getting the Moon Goddess Statue back. We warped away soon after Steven fell asleep, and ended up at the base of a mountain.

I asked Garnet, "So where's the bird?"

Garnet pointed to the top of the mountain, saying, "She's made a nest at the top of the mountain."

It was starting to get light out by the time we got to the top, the bird circling in the air.

Amethyst sees something in the nest, and exclaims, "Sweet! Giant egg!"

She climbs into the nest, and the bird spots us.

I exclaim, "Amethyst, no! Leave it! We dont need it!"

Garnet says, "We needed to get her attention somehow."

I roll my eyes, climbing into the nest after Amethyst. She was holding the egg, and I tried pulling it away from her, and the bird dove at us. Garnet and Pearl hopped into the nest, and Garnet shoved Amethyst and I out of the way just as the bird was going to chomp. I let go of Amethyst and summon my hammer, hitting the bird over the head. She squawks at me and starts flying away.

Garnet yells, "We can't let her get away! Amethyst, your whip!"

Amethyst says, "Got it!"

She summons her whip, latching it around the bird's left wing. The bird doesn't falter, and we all grab Amethyst, pulling the whip with Amethyst, finally pulling the bird down. She falls into the nest, landing on her back. Garnet summons her gauntlets, bringing both down on the bird's stomach.

The bird launches feathers at Garnet like a porcupine, some getting stuck in Garnet's hair. Pearl summons her spear, and we all hit the bird at the same time, poofing her. Garnet bubbles her away, Amethyst grabs the giant egg, and I spot the Moon Goddess Statue just behind it. I grab it, and we climb back down the mountain to the warp pad. Just as we warp into the temple, Steven walks into the house.

He says, "Huh?"

Garnet says, "Hello, Steven."

As Amethyst opens the fridge, Pearl says, "Amethyst, we do not need that! It's not going to fit in the fridge!"

Amethyst says, "What? I got this."

She slowly slides a tray out of the fridge, then tosses it, spilling a carton of milk and dropping a bag of bagels before shoving the egg in the fridge.

She says, "Look, it fits! Ha!"

She slams the fridge door shut, and I hear a cracking sound.

Amethyst continues, "Oh man, we can make a big omelet, or a quiche, or a big sunny side up!"

Pearl says, "We fought a giant bird. We're only here for a second, we've got to go back out."

Steven asks, "What? Why?"

I show him the statue, saying, "We have to place this Moon Goddess Statue on the top of the Lunar Sea Spire before midnight. This is our last opportunity to save it before it falls apart."

As Garnet plucks the feathers from her hair, Pearl shows Steven a hologram image of the Sea Spire, saying, "Oh Steven, you should have seen the Spire in its heyday. It was an oasis for Gems on Earth. It's abandoned now, but we can still save it with this statue!"

Steven's eyes light up, and he says, "What? That's perfect?"

Pearl asks, "What? Why?"

I ask, "How could that be perfect?"
