Wulfenite: A Steven Universe Story

Chapter 44

"Silence! You two will be transported to Diamonds shortly. Until then, you two are prohibited to talk." A Ruby yelled as she walked through the hallways. Peridot and Lapis were put in two separate cells in the prison area. "Gee. No need to be so strict. It'll only make your defeat more painful." Peridot said. "I said SHUT UP!!" The Ruby stomped on the floor. She calmed down and left the hallway: "I'll be right back. Don't speak a single word!" Silence fell. suddenly, Peridot started running around in her cell. "What are you doing?" Lapis asked. "We're never getting out of here! The Diamonds will shatter us after they've got what they want! We're going to die! It's over! No one can save us!" Peridot yelled. Lapis sighed. Peridot kept running around. Lapis grew tired of it and spoke: "Peridot! Calm down! Look, I know it looks bleak, and we might get shattered, but we won't have to talk to them. No use helping the enemy. So like that Ruby said: Don't speak a single word." Peridot stopped running and sat down against the wall. "Do you believe that Wulfenite will save us?" Peridot asked Lapis. She took a deep breath: "I can't guarantee it, but he's capable of many wonderful things. He might come to save us. Maybe, we can help him a bit, by breaking out..." "I smell a plan!" Peridot said. "What?" "Heh, Steven said that once and it sounded funny." "How do you smell a- never mind. Let me explain my plan."

"I'm back!" A Ruby's voice shrieked through the halls. "Okay, get ready." Lapis whispered to Peridot. Ruby walked past Lapis's cell. Lapis was lying down on the floor. Ruby noticed and yelled: "Hey! What are you doing? Get up!!" Peridot used her ferrokinesis to break a steel pipe from the roof, which fell onto the floor in her cell. Ruby turned around. "What did you do?!" "Nothing!" Peridot reacted; "It just fell! You all need to work more on maintenance around here..." Ruby drew her gem destabilizer and typed the cell code in, whilst being watched by Lapis, who knew the code now. "Stay back, or I'll hit you!" Ruby said, pointing the destabilizer at Peridot. Peridot put her hands up as the Ruby inspected the pipe. Peridot wiggled her fingers and the pipe flew up and smacked the Ruby in the face. The pipe then smashed right through the Ruby and poofed her. "It worked! Quick! What's the code?" Lapis told Peridot the code and Peridot opened Lapis's cell. "I expected more from security around here. They use the same code for every cell." Peridot said. "At least we're out." Lapis said; "Next up, we need to leave this building. Do you know the way around here?" "I'm afraid not. This is a new prison area for me. It might have the same layout as the ship you were imprisoned on, but I can't say for sure." "Well, it's worth a shot. Let's go. You do remember the way, right?" "Yeah yeah, don't worry. Follow me."
