Robert dug through his files to find that Peridot has been keeping tabs on him ever since he was born. The files contained report cards, drawings, a record of every television show he watched, every video game he played, all of his Yu-Gi-Oh cards, his entire family tree, among other things. Robert was shocked to find all this. The most interesting, however, was an .mp4 file at the bottom of the folder named "ZZZZ.mp4" Robert clicked on it. It was a video with Peridot's ugly mug the whole seven minutes.
"Greetings, Yellow Diamond! I have the humanoid in question. He is detained, unconscious, and being delivered to you as we speak."
Obviously these alien overlord peoples haven't heard of Skype.
"While I am under your command, I do expect a hefty pay for this, as he is prophesied to be immensely powerful when it reaches its point and will be a powerful asset in our-"
Robert turned it off, because he had to wrap his head around it all. then he looked around to see if anyone was watching, only to find that Pearl and Garnet were sitting next to him on either side, looking at him with a look that was either sadness or frustration or tears of joy. They exited in silence and left him alone for the rest of the night.
The next morning, it was Saturday, so Robert would've played video games, but he couldn't have taken any of his systems with him when he left, and even if he did, they would have been confiscated or destroyed. Fortunately, Steven had a GameCube hooked up to his tiny-a$$ CRT. Robert figured Steven wouldn't mind, especially since he was out preparing for a boat trip with his father. Then, Garnet entered the room with a warp pad with a book in her hands before he could get past the first loading screen of Spyro: Enter the dragonfly. (F*** that game!)
"Robert, we need to talk."Garnet said sternly. Robert suddenly got nervous, because that phrase told him he was fu¢ked. Robert and Garnet sat at the table with Pearl sitting next to her. Awkward silence. "We don't want you to be nervous, but there's something we have to tell you." Garnet explained. Pearl's head gem lit up and showed something of a hologram from Star Wars.
It showed human-like figures that he never thought possible, capturing cavemen from their homes. "This is what happened several billion years ago. Gems used to capture humans for the loyalty of the Diamonds. WE used to do this, even though it was wrong, and we were the ones who knew it. That's why we protect this world." Garnet explained. "And we always knew that one day, one human would rise from the rest and stop the Diamonds, whom Peridot and Jasper were working for, once and for all. That's why they captured you and were keeping tabs on you. They were afraid of you. They were afraid of your potential." Garnet explained.
"So, what do I do? To fulfill the prophecy? Do I have anything to help? What am I getting out of this? Where do I start? What if I die? Why ME of all people?" Robert asked.
Garnet opened the book she was carrying and flipped to a page with a complete world map with eight seemingly random locations marked, one of them was in the ocean a few miles east of Beach City. Robert figured he could go on the boat trip and go there.
