Wulfenite: A Steven Universe Story

Chapter 17

Wulfenite stopped in front of the maintenance room. "Let's see if they changed the password from my time here." Wulfenite typed the code PbMoO4. The door opened. "Stupid Rubies... no offense, Ruby." Ruby blushed angrily. The room was empty. "We'll have enough time to locate Sapphire." Wulfenite scrolled trough the screens. "There! There!" Ruby yelled as he saw Sapphire in a cell. "Okay, let's go." Ruby and Wulfenite ran out, but stopped when they noticed Peridot was laughing. "Look at that!" She yelled whilst laughing. The screen displayed Pearl and Amethyst dancing around Ruby guards. "What are they doing?! They're going to trigger the alarm!" Wulfenite quickly disabled the alarm and ran out. "Ruby, you go get Sapphire," Wulfenite summoned his staff and grabbed Peridot with it; "we're going after Pearl and Amethyst!" Ruby nodded and rushed off. Whilst running, Wulfenite got a bit scared. He said: "They are ruining the escape. We can't let that happen, so I'm going to throw you towards the Ruby guards and poof them off guard." Peridot nodded. "I- I'm not going to get hurt, right?" "Of course not." Wulfenite said comforting.

Wulfenite stood behind the Rubies. "Let's do this!" He threw Peridot towards Amethyst and Pearl. The Rubies were surprised by the flying Peridot. Wulfenite quickly threw his staff into the left Ruby, poofing her in the process. The other Ruby turned around and received a punch in the face. Poof.

Pearl and Amethyst were flabbergasted by the performance. Wulfenite saw the look on Pearl's face. "You didn't forget I'm an excellent strategist, did you?" Wulfenite said whilst chuckling; "Why didn't you two take them out?" Amethyst said: "Because we both wanted to handle the situation ourselves, without the help of the other." Wulfenite said: "But teamwork is key! Even I got help from Peridot." Peridot smiled proudly. "You guys need to see that teamwork is the way to go. Most of the time." Pearl and Amethyst looked at each other. Pearl wanted to apologize, but was interrupted by Garnet. She fused again! "Hey Garnet! I'm glad you got out okay!" Garnet smiled. "Now we have everybody, let's go back home, see how Steven's doing." Wulfenite said. The gems got scared. Steven was still at home! With Lapis! "Wait!" Pearl yelled; "you need to destroy the ship!" Peridot quickly added: "Yeah! I can help you! The rest needs to get home, for Steven. We'll get rid of this ship." Wulfenite nodded in confusion. "Okay then. See you all back at the temple!" The gems nodded and left the ship. "Let's get rid of this ship." Peridot said confidently. Wulfenite ran with Peridot towards the control room. There he saw his cape behind the door. "There it is! I can't believe I missed it!" Wulfenite put on the cape and walked towards the steering panel. He guided the ship towards a meteor shower. "Let's get out." He pulled Peridot under his cape and flew through the roof. Then he put Peridot back on his shoulder, grabbed the ship with his hands and threw it into the meteor shower. "That's that. Let's go back to the temple, Peri." Wulfenite said and flew back to earth.
