Alexandrite is pinned down by Malachite as her hand smashes down on a warp pad, breaking it. Malachite heaves exhausted breaths as she keeps her opponent pinned down to the ground.
Realizing that the Gems need help, Steven runs to the waterfall where everyone is being gathered during the battle. The melons whimper and cry as the tremors shake the cave.
The melon dog comes to Steven's side who puts a hand on its head. Steven then calls for everyone for everyone's attention. Everyone faces him as he breaks into an angry speech.
After the speech, the chief melon pumps its stick up and down. Steven and some of the other melons grunt and pump their fists in rhythm with the stick. More join in as the rhythm continues.
The melons grab spears and shields. They also apply war paint on their faces. Once everyone is gathered, they let out a battle cry and march in a line on a path out to the beach.
Steven signals the melons to keep moving as Alexandrite and Malachite come into their view. Malachite pins Alexandrite against a cliff. "You know, you're right." Alexandrite attempts to breathe fire.
"There really IS..." Malachite punches Alexandrite. "something more to this fusion thing!" Malachite grabs Alexandrite. "It's not just a cheap trick!" Malachite throws Alexandrite who screams before splashing into the water.
"You really showed me a whole new world of possibilities!" Alexandrite begins to unfuse as she glows. She puts a hand on her face to retain her form. She stops glowing. "Keep it together."
Malachite drops down onto the ground. "Allow me to thank you!" Two water hands rise out of the ocean. They grab ahold of Alexandrite before she could react. "Uhhn!" Malachite squeezes her hands together as hard as she could.
The water hands begin to freeze, crushing Alexandrite. "Sorry, but there's only room for one abomination on this measly planet!" "RRRAAAAAAA!" Malachite laughs as Alexandrite yells in pain.
A horn blows behind her. Malachite gasps. "Huh?" Malchite looks behind her to see the army of melons emerging onto the beach. Steven is blowing a shell horn. The melons roar as they raise their spears.
They clang them against Malachite's feet. Other melons fire arrows from bows into Malachite. Malachite starts to laugh and giggle at their assualt. Steven blows on the shell horn again and several catapults launch stones at Malachite.
"Ehh?!" She stops laughing as they hit her face. She faces the capatults which fire more stones at her face. "Oof!" She grunts in pain. Melons on hangliders fly in and let go as they fall towards Malachite.
A melon wearing a skirt and flowers makes a battle cry as it falls towards Malachite's face. "Huh? AHH!" The melons punch Malachite's eyes and she grunts in pain. "AH! AH!" She stumbles backwards and trips over a rope, falling to the ground.
More melons gather around Malachite as they continue to punch her. Alexandrite breaks out of the ice hands, breathing heavily. She roars at Malachite who loses it on the melons.
"What is THIS?!" She slams her fist down on some of the melons. "You think you can hold me DOWN?!" She slams a hand down onto more melons. "Nobody can!" Malachite throws some more melons into the air.
They all splat as they hit the ground. Steven turns back to Malachite after the massacre ends. "Not anymore." Malachite prepares to step on Steven and the melon dog next to him. Suddenly, a flail wraps around Malachite and hits her in the face.
"Gooorgh!" "HEY!" Steven faces Alexandrite and smiles as the melon dog barks, smiling. "Don't forget about me!" Alexandrite lashes the whip sending Malachite away from the beach and towards her.
Malachite faces Alexandrite who punches her as soon she reaches her. A giant wave follows from the impact. "Ooooohhh!" Alexandrite takes out a hammer which smacks Malachite right into the air.
Lapis's water wings right Malachite. She growls in frustration and then gasps. Alexandrite has Malachite right where she wants her. She prepares to fire an arrow with her bow. "You two should spend some time apart."
Alexandrite fires the arrow which turns into a shape of Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl holding hands before piercing Malachite. Malachite then inflates and explodes.
