Steven, Amethyst, Turquoise, and Peridot hide behind a cliff to spy on Jasper.
"Jasper!" Amethyst says, talking to herself
"What is she doing?" Peridot asks
"She's been collecting monsters." Steven answers
"She's been imprisoning corrupted Gems." Turquoise corrects with a sour tone
"Pipe down!" Jasper kicks a growling corrupt Monster in its cage, and the four gasp in shock.
"You take orders from me now! You used to be a Quartz too, didn't you? What happened to you?" Jasper asks the corrupt gem
The corrupt gem growls and slams against the metal bars in fury.
"Tch. Disgraceful. I can't believe I've resorted to recruiting you freaks! You're almost as bad as that Crystal runt and that off colour. Just look at you. This planet ruins everything! Well, haha, except for me." Jasper says to herself
"We should go back to the Temple and grab reinforcements." Peridot suggests
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Amethyst? Turquoise?" Steven turns his head and finds that Amethyst and Turquoise are gone, and he and Peridot silently scream in horror.
"Amethyst! Turquoise?!" Steven yells quietly
Steven and Peridot look around and spot Amethyst on a ledge above Jasper, shuffling along it towards her. Turquoise is walking up to Jasper, who continues to taunt the corrupt quartz .
"I'll never let this planet twist me like it twisted you. Your weakness embarrasses Homeworld. You suffer because it's what you deserve! We all only get what we deserve. Right, Amethyst?! Turquoise?!" Jasper snarls
Amethyst gasps, as she has been discovered, and falls off the ledge, landing behind Jasper next to Turquoise.
"Agh!"
"What do you want, runt? Are you here for a rematch?" Jasper taunts
"I'm here to win!" Amethyst says
"You were fated to lose the moment you came out wrong!" Jasper taunts
Steven runs to Amethyst's side. "That's not true!"
"Rose. Of course. Your lackeys never stray far. And why would they? They have no place in this or any world!" Jasper says to Steven
"What do you mean?!" Steven asks
"Every Gem is made for a purpose: to serve the order of the Diamonds. Those who can not fit inside this order must be purged!" Jasper explains as numerous shapes appear behind Jasper as she explains, forming the image of The Great Diamond Authority symbol. After it is complete, many unfitting shapes approach the symbol, only to get blown away by a flash of light.
"To come out misshapen, to reshape yourself outside your purpose, and to defend this ruined worthless planet is a disgrace!"
"This planet isn't all bad!" Peridot yells timidly gasps and hides behind a rock
"What are you doing here?" Jasper looks at peridot with a raised eyebrow
"I... I'M A CRYSTAL GEM NOW!!" Peridot yells
Jasper instantly summons her crash helmet, and Steven summons his shield.
"I'm not afraid of you! I've got metal powers! I'll show you!" Peridot says confidently as she begins to manipulate a metal rod stuck in the ground. Jasper, Turquoise, Amethyst, and Steven watch as Peridot struggles to lift the metal rod.
"Aw, jeez."
"In a moment!" Peridot cries out as she continues struggling
"Anyone else got somethin' to say?" Jasper growls
