Steven Universe: Dragonstone

Adventures in light distortion

Dragonstone Pov

Garnet, Steven and I returned to the temple via the warp as I stood in place, my body still feeling physically weak from seeing that...that gem after all these years as Steven spoke up, a look of disbelief on his face

Steven: staring blankly "This can't be happening."

Pearl: she was sitting on her knees with her hands folded in her lap as she looked up in surprise at seeing them "Steven, you're back!"

Amethyst: peers in from the wall "Heyy, Stevo!" Smiling

Pearl: Dragonstone stepped off the warp "I'm so sorry about earlier..."

Steven: shouts out "Forget that! We have to catch up with her!" He had a look of dread and concern on his face

Pearl: her tone switches to surprise and concern while amethyst is beside her with the same look "What?!"

Amethyst: frowns "Who?"

Dragonstone: stammering a bit "H-her...them...the diamonds. Blue...she was on earth." I clutched my hand on my gem

Pearl: steps back in shock "Blue Diamond?!" Paces around in a panic while stammering and gasping "O-o-on earth?!"

Amethyst: smiles "Holy smokes! They're all coming out of the wood work."

Pearl: leans against amethyst "Amethyst, turn into a chair." Hyperventilating "I need to sit down."

Amethyst: sees Dragonstone panic and chooses to run to him instead "Hey, DT, calm down, man." She puts a hand on his leg as a red glow reverberates off his body "Jeez, you're...scared, aren't you?"

Steven: he shouts out again "She took dad! She alien abducted him!" Puts his hands on his head "And it's all my fault!"

Dragonstone: I crossed my arms, gripping my sides "She knows I'm on Earth...she said my name."

Amethyst: looks up "This is bad...like the burrito I ate bad." He stomach growls

Pearl: taking in Stevens words "She took Greg?! Our Greg?!"

Amethyst: frowns "What other Greg is there?!" Looks to Steven "How are we gonna get him back?!"

Steven: worried "What does she even want him for?" His brow furrowed "To eat him?! To put him in a zoo?!"

Pearl: thinking "Wait..." realises "That might be it."

Steven: he,do his head in panic "She's gonna eat him?!"

Pearl: looks in confusion "What?" Frowns, shaking her head "No, but there was a..." thinks with her eyes closed "No, it couldn't possibly still exist." Looks to the side "Not since we..."

Garnet: speaks up, clenching her fists "That's right! Pink Diamond's insidious human zoo."

Steven: eyes wide "What?"

Garnet: speaks with a serious tone "During her reign on earth, Pink stole humans from their families, trophies of her conquests."

Amethyst: disbelief "You've gotta be kidding."

Pearl: with a look of worry and sombreness "No, it was very serious. When I still served..." looks to the side "...Homeworld. I saw it myself, a private menagerie, deep in space, humans in captivity." Takes a deep breath "We were never able to rescue...we had no way to get to them after the war. But that was five thousand years ago."
