happily ever after, there we were.

there we were.

(Margo's POV)

I panted and clenched my fists as the Jaspers dragged me along further. A door opened in front of us and they threw us inside. The sounds of the lights turning on made me open my eyes. Above me were thousands of bubbled gems, I turned my body to the side and noticed two large light purple gears.

"Get a good look at Taaffeite's Shattering Stage. One step on and you're gone for good." The Jaspers chuckled and summoned their maces and helmets.

"We're not going down without a fight!" Pearl summoned her spear and charged towards one of the Jaspers, Garnet and Amethyst did the same. I froze and watched as they tried to protect us, but got poofed in the process. One of the Jaspers chuckled and threw one of their maces towards me. It hit my arm before Steven shielded me. Carnelian and Jasper turned towards me and ran in front of the shield.

"How dare you hurt the love of our diamond?!" Carnelian summoned her whip and I smiled. Of course, they'd want to honor Luna.

"You will pay with your gem!" Jasper summoned her mace and they ran towards the crowd of Jaspers, only to be poofed as well. They gathered everyone's gems and started walking towards the Shattering Stage. Steven kept his shield up as I drew one of my arrows from my quiver. I aimed it and poofed all of the Jaspers with one arrow.

"Come on, we gotta find Jade and Red." Steven nodded towards the door. We grabbed their gems and headed out of Taaffeite's Bubbling Room. Steven and I made it towards the Diamond's residences and saw Red and Jade standing in the hallway.

"Jade, Red! I'm glad you guys are okay. Those Jaspers back there poofed every-" The two of them turned around stiffly and smiled down at us.

"There you are, Taaffeite Diamond has been waiting for your arrival." They spoke in unison, Taaffeite must've done something to them. "Come with us." We followed them meagerly down the hall.

We walked past a door with large debris around it. "My, my. It's as if she never left." Jade stopped and let out a sigh, placing her hand over her gem. I looked down at the remnants of the door, there was a diamond sigil, colored black.

"Luna..." I mumbled. "Steven, I need to find her." I tried to push past Jade and Red. "Margo, No!" Steven whisper-yelled. I made it past them and started to run, but a warming, red glow around my body stopped me.

"Oh, you're not going anywhere." They spoke in unison as Jade summoned vines and threw them at me, causing me to fall to the ground. I felt my quiver snap and so did my arrows.

"Agh, Luna!"
