"You ready?" Connie asked. Steven nodded, his shield already out. Connie was already a master swordfighter, a match for even Pearl, and Steven was good with his shield.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Steven said with a smile that showed all his teeth. They were waiting for the battle to start, and Pearl would alert them, and they would be the second wave. Peridot was ready, with machines that she had made herself, and was very proud of.

"Now!" Pearl's voice shouted from the walkie talkie, and Steven turned to Connie. Everything is tinted pink, a rosy color.

She was in Steven's bubble.

"Steven? Steven!" she said, pounding her fists on the curved walls. Steven gave her a small smile.

"We're not going to win this. I'm not going to make you do this with me." he says, and that's the last time she sees Connie before she's teleported to her parent's car, which is already driving away from Beach City, miles away.

"I'm so sorry, but we had to." Connie's parents say.

It was all planned, months and months before the actual battle. Steven knew that she would never go into battle, just be there until the nanosecond before it.
