Peridot's P.O.V:

"Let me go you clod!" I growl. Zachary's leaning on the wall smirking at me. I hate going on Homeworld ships, every escort I have is a clod!

Especially Jasper.

"Not unless you accept to be with me forever." Zachary says, still smirking.

"Nope. Never!" I punch the forcefield, "Ow!" The forcefield electrocutes me and I jump back.

"Then I'll force you to be." Zachary says, but sounding a little more serious. He walks up a little closer to my cell. "If you think that runt Steven will come to save you, then, he either dies or you come with us."

I clench my fists. "You clod!" I punch the forcefield. It electrocutes me once again and I jump back holding my hand.

"I don't really want to hurt you so stop hurting yourself. I promise you a very great life back at Homeworld."

"Shut up, they're gonna shatter me for betraying Homeworld because I choose Earth, you clod." I point out. A quartz soldier walks up to him.

"Sir, we will activate light speed in approximately fifty minutes." The soldier says. "Affirmative, make sure everyone is buckled up in their seat before activating it." Zachary says and the soldier walks away.

"Did you hear that? We're finally gonna go to Homeworld!" Zachary exclaims. I look at him with a death glare. I don't want to go back in that cloddy place.

"You do know that I hate that place, right? That place makes me suffer."

"With me, you won't suffer! Yellow Diamond is taking care of me like I'm her son." Zachary says proudly.

I roll my eyes. "So?" I ask. "It's not like she's gonna make me free from all my problems and the hunters will stop hunting me down."

Zachary claps his hand. "Then I'll do it! If she doesn't agree, then I'll take care of you."

"Just shut up. I thought you were a good person." I cross my arms. I'm such a fool to believe that he's a good guy.

"I am.." Zachary mumbles. He groans, "Sorry, I'm too emotional when you say that. I will be a good gentleman when Steven dies."

"Oh? He won't! He is-"

Thump. Thump. Thump.

We both look up. "What was that!?" Zachary asks. Wait.. Maybe it's Steven!! I hope it is.

"You! Check what's up there." He points at the soldier, the soldier nods and runs to somewhere. Zachary looks at me. "You won't escape." Zachary runs to the left.

"GGGRRRRRAAAWWWWW!"

I jump back. W-What was that?! I look from the left corner to see what's on the right, I see a pink lion, oh wait. That's Lion! Steven's pet!

I gasp. He's here to save me!

Lion claws through the soldiers and uses his epic roar to blow them away.

"Peridot?"

I look in front. I see Steven with a shield, "Steven!" I exclaim happily. Steven touches the forcefield and creates a way for me to escape. I crawl through it and I escape my cell. I hug Steven after he lets go of the forcefield.

"Thank you!" I thank him and I hug him tightly.

"You're welcome, now let's get outta here. I brought the Crystal Gems with me, also Lapis and Connie." Steven points out and grabs my hand. "Let's go get the crew and let's bomb this ship."

I nod and I follow him, Lion follows us after he clawed a soldier. Lion has a bruise on his head. Poor animal.

"Hey the prisoner escaped!" A quartz soldier says and points his gem blaster at us. "Freeze!"

Steven creates a bubble around Lion and I. I stick my tongue out to insult the soldier.

The soldier shoots the gun and it hits the bubble shield. "What the heck!?" The soldier growls. The bubble shield can still protect us. Ha! We're perfectly safe right here!

The soldier gets shot by something, Pearl appears with her spear. "Hey! Come here!" Pearl says and goes to the left. Steven lets go of his bubble and we run after her to catch up. Pearl stabs one soldier and picks the gem up.

Steven punches one soldier away, making an army of them fall down. Lion roars and it blows them away, two-wait I mean three soldiers poof.

"Let's go get the others." Steven says and runs to somewhere, we follow him because we have no choice but to do so.

Or we die because of no protection from his bubble and shield.

"There are a lot of soldiers, are you guys sure?" Pearl asks. I shrug with Steven.

"I got an idea, let's fuse Peri!" Steven suggests and forms stars in his eyes. "Sure." I nod. Steven grabs my hand and twirls me. We both laugh and he dips me.

Stevidot's P.O.V:

"Let's do this!" I exclaim and I summon Steven's shield. I adjust my visors, Pearl looks at us, amazed.

"Ow!" Connie's voice echoes. It came from the right! "We gotta go right! Follow me!" I exclaim and I start dashing through the hallway to find Connie.

There's a soldier in front of me. A pink sword goes through him, I take a step backward. The soldier poofs and I catch the gem. Connie appears after it poofs.

"Hey...uh..."

"Just call me Stevidot." I smile. Connie smiles back and throws the sword to a soldier behind us.

I nod and I dash through the rest of the hallway where we haven't traveled yet. "They gotta be here some-"

We see an army of soldiers tackling someone. I grab one soldier and I throw him away. I kick one away. Pearl and Connie are stabbing soldiers. I see a whip hit two soldiers. It's Amethyst's whip!

"Yo guys." Amethyst says. Now we get to see two guys. Amethyst turns into a ball and dashes through the army of soldiers.

I see a blue blur with the rest of the soldiers. Is that Lapis? I run to where the blue blur landed. I see Lapis with a bruise on her arm. "Are you okay Lapis?" I ask.

"Yeah, Steven and Peridot.." Lapis laughs. "Stevidot or Periven?"

"Stevidot." I reply, laughing. "Let's go get Garnet now." I demand. We turn around to go back, but what a surprise!

"No need. I'm here." Garnet says and summons her gauntlets. "Zachary will come here, let's go guys!" Garnet exclaims.

We all nod and Garnet leads the way to the exit. "Ah!" Garnet exclaims and gets blown away by something.

"You won't escape from me!" Zachary growls and laughs insanely. "Oh, you fused. Again. I don't get why you want to fuse with him but not with me, Peridot!"

"Grrr.." I quietly growl and we slowly unfuse.

Peridot's P.O.V:

Steven punches Zachary and he summons his shield. "Let us go!" He growls. Zachary wipes his face and laughs.

"No."

Steven clenches his fists, they all summon their weapons except for Lapis and I. "Zachary, I don't want to be with you. So whatever you do, I'm not going to be with you, now let us go!" I growl.

Zachary grabs my hand and pulls me to him. He summons his power of electricity and blasts it to Steven and the other guys. "No!" I exclaim.

"Peridot, just be with me! I'll give you a good life!" Zachary exclaims.

"No!"

"Then I'll have to do this."
