The Thing | DISCONTINUED

Back to the Barn

before peridot gives her presentation your pulled aside by garnet 

Garnet: I know we've never really gotten along with you, y/n but from the deepest part of my gems, thank you for saving steven twice, despite what the others might think I have no clue where we would be without you

Y/n: your welcome now I have a part in the presentation to play, toddles big-g

Garnet lets a small laugh slip out very out of character for her

---------

cut to the gems sitting on the couch with peridot in front of them and steven and y/n are no where to be seen

peridot: Ahem, ahem. As it seems I have no other options, I have conceded to reveal some important information to you crystal cl- I mean crystal gems

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

Peridot: This!

the box doesn't react

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

steven rotates the box to show a representation of the Earth's core and the Cluster inside.

peridot points at the illustration

Peridot: 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! 

peridot hits the box again and steven steps away as the box begins shaking until y/n pops out having morphed his body so his skin is translucent to show his muscles and organs

Y/n: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

all the gems gasp in shock and surprise

Peridot: nice job y/n this is a excellent representation of what it will probably look like no obvious colors just muscle and veins definitely better than that sock puppet idea steven had

Y/n: no problem 

Y/n makes his skin turn back into its usual pitch black color 

amethyst sarcastically says

Amethyst: what a cluster 

Garnet: that abomination must be stopped, no offense y/n

y/n: no offense taking, after all I'm already a monster 

you take a seat on the couch while leaning your head back

Pearl: But how will we stop it? 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

Peridot: 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.

you chuckle at this new rivalry that has just formed

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.
