Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Back to the Barn

[Open Int. Beach House]

(Peridot is seen about to give a presentation to You and the Gems.)

Peridot: Ahem, ahem. As it seems I have no other options, I have conceded to reveal some important information to you Crystal Gems.

(Peridot snaps her fingers, cuing Steven to shuffle in, wearing a box with a crudely drawn picture of Earth on it. Peridot, using a flyswatter as a pointer, smacks the box.)

Peridot: This-!

Steven: *teeters in surprise* Woah!

Peridot: ... Is the Earth. At the very center of the planet's core lies... the Cluster! Rotate.

(Steven complies, turning the box to show a representation of the Earth's core and the Cluster inside.)

Peridot: *points at the illustration* This is the Cluster. A massive, artificial fusion composed of millions of Gem shards. It has laid dormant for thousands of years within this planet's crust. When this Gem activates and takes its form, the result will be catastrophic. Now! *hits the box again*

(Steven turns back to the Earth picture and bobs up and down, making escalating noises. A green snake-like puppet then bursts through the box, and the Gems gasps.)

Steven: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(You raise your hand)

Y/N: Uhh, Is that suppose to be The Cluster?

Steven: Yeah

(Peridot swats the puppet with the flyswatter.)

Peridot: No, It does not look like that. But it is real, and it can activate at any moment!

Steven: *hushed tone* Bwaaaah.

Amethyst: *sarcastically* What a cluster.

Garnet: That abomination must be stopped.

Y/N: And how do you suppose we do that?

Pearl: Well, We'll need to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth, it'll have to-

Peridot: *suddenly swats at Pearl and interrupts her* Hey! I wasn't finished speaking! What we need is to build some sort of machine to take us to the center of the Earth.

(Pearl starts glaring at Peridot in annoyance. Amethyst looks at Pearl and smiles sarcastically. Pearl then glares at Amethyst, causing her to stop.)

Peridot: It'll need to withstand up to 360 gigapascals of pressure and temperatures of 9800 degrees.

Pearl: Well, we mustn't waste time. We need to start finding parts for this machine immediately.

Peridot: Yes. Obviously. We'll start by dismantling all devices inside this dwelling.

Y/N: What?

(Peridot runs to the kitchen and grabs the microwave.)

Peridot: This primitive radiation concentrator should come in handy!

(Peridot tears the microwave off the cupboard and throws it on the counter. She then grabs a corded phone from the living room.)

Peridot This primitive vibration transmitter could possibly serve a function!

(Peridot smashes the dials on the table, splitting it in half. She then runs up to Steven's room and lifts up the television.)

Peridot There's a remote chance something useful could be inside this primitive image cube!

(Peridot smashes the TV on the floor.)

Steven: Wait! *runs up to Peridot* I have a better idea that doesn't involve destroying the house!
