A New Conflict on the Horizon

Steven slammed the door open, waking Amethyst up from her nap on the couch. "Dang Steven, what's with all the racket?" She asked with a yawn.

"I need Garnet, now!" Steven said in a panicked voice as Spinel joined him in the doorway.

"Yo dude, what's going on? You look like the world is about to blow up, did the cluster escape?" She joked with a laugh.

"Amethyst, this could be really serious! It's something that I probably could handle on my own, but Ronaldo would never listen to me!" The hybrid said as he began to make his way to the warp pad, setting Spinel's shell bag and his small lion on the table carefully.

"Woah dude, what harm could that fry boy really do? I'm sure you're just over reacting." Amethyst brushed him off, though this time sounding a bit more serious.

"You don't understand! Listen, I'll explain everything once everyone is present, I just need to know exactly where Garnet went, this is important." He said to her, looking as serious as possible.

"Um, I mean if it's really that important, I think I heard something about her going to that place where we found the Heaven Beetle." She shrugged, giving Steven the benefit of the doubt.

"Right, thank you. While I'm gone I want you to go and collect Bismuth, Lapis, Peridot, and Pearl; you bring them all back here and wait for me to come back, okay?" Steven asked, turning to his sister who was probably the one who he trusted the most among the Gems, the only one he trusted even more was his father.

She returned a smile. "Don't sweat it, I'll get everyone together for you."

"Thank you, Amethyst. Spinel, if you're coming with, get on the warp pad." Steven said to the Gem that was standing at the edge of the warp area.

"Oh, right, sorry." She chuckled as she bounced her way over to Steven. Once she was standing next to him, he sent the two of them off in a stream of light.

"So Steven, who's this Garnet that you've been talking about?" Spinel asked, turning to the teen as they traveled through the warp stream. "I assume she's another friend of Pink's, I've just never met her."

"Yeah, Garnet is a permanent fusion between two Gems that really love each other." Steven explained. "Mom helped her and brought her into the rebellion, but I'm sure she had some selfish motive there."

"I see...you really look down on Pink huh? I mean, I of all Gems should know that she definitely deserves it, but she created you and gave her life so you could have yours." Spinel mentioned, trying to make sense of the boy's anger at his own creator.

"Simple: she left me with her gem, and with it, all her problems, enemies, and her role to fill. In the end, I've seen her do far more bad than good. Don't get me wrong, she saved the earth and all, but I think that she had her own selfish reasons for that too." Steven said, giving a sigh as he thought about all his mother has done and how the little good that she actually did was probably tainted by her selfishness.  "And as for her bringing me into the world the way she did... Spinel, what I'm going to say has to stay between us, ok?" Steven asked turning to her as they finally reached their destination and began walking.

"Of course, I'm great at keeping secrets." She smiled as she made a zipping motion over her mouth, bring a small chuckle out of Steven.

"Thanks...Anyway, I feel like my existence has really only been for her to run and hide. She had so many of her mistakes towering over her so she just dumped them off on me, probably hoping I'd fix them. Spinel, at one point I got so sick of the responsibility of her actions...I tried to remove my Gem. I thought that if I no longer had this thing in me, I would no longer be held responsible for any of it. It was a moment in my life where I had no supporters, and everyone was still wanting me to be like my mom, it was so hard to handle." Steven explained, helping her along the path.
