(Steven's friends get up from the ground slightly dazed after taking a direct hit from his destructive shout, however...)

Amethyst! The others Gems fused, let's fuse too!

Okay, let's do it! It'll be easier that way.

What about me?

You just wait for the right moment to rejuvenate him.

Copy that!

(Garnet and Amethyst fuse into Sugilite. She immediately summons her weapon, a flail.)

Things are getting more complicated than I thought.

[Meanwhile.]

(The fusions begin to overwhelm Jasper's strength, they all pounce on her, crushing her.)

*panting* Gahh! Dammit!

*running away from Sugilite* I need to calm down! I don't want to fight them while i'm in this form! *turns to jasper* No way, she's having trouble too!

Stop running, you worm!

(Sugilite manages to smack Steven with her flail. The impact sends Steven flying into a wall, smashing right through it and tumbling out of the palace.)

*panting* I think the situation has definitely gotten out of hand.

(Sugilite jumps out of the palace and with her flail crushes Steven.)

*groaning in pain* AAHH!!

Hahaha!! *begins to crush Steven over and over again*

[In the distance.]

(Jasper notices Steven's demise, despite still engaging in combat.)

My Diamond!

(Jasper manages to escape the Fusions and runs off to help Steven.)

I'm coming!!!

(While Steven is lying on the ground, Sugilite tries to crush him again.)

*running to Steven* I'll save you!

(At the last second, Jasper manages to push Steven out of the way of Sugilite's flail.)

My diamond, are you okay?!

Y-Yes. *stands up* In this pink form I'm more resistant.

(The fusions run out of the palace and swiftly surround Steven and Jasper.)

Damn, we've been surrounded!

(Steven and Jasper get back to back.)

I didn't even get a chance to talk to my friends!

And their strength increased considerably after they fused! I didn't take into account the possibility of them fusing to fight us! Grrr, that's playing dirty! This is why I hate fusions!!

Jasper, it was a really bad idea to come to Homeworld without a plan in mind!

That doesn't matter anymore! What's done is done, there's nothing we can do about it now!

You're wrong!

Huh?

There's still something we can do.

What is it?!

Run away!

What!? You're joking, right?! Look, we just gotta keep fighting to the death! There's no better way to die, am I right?!

NO!! What we gotta do is run away and come back with a plan!

Only cowards run away from a fight! My diamond, with your great power you could defeat them with ease!

I know, but... I don't want to hurt them, so our only option is to run away!

[Inside the palace.]

*walks up Spinel* Hey, Spinel!

Tell me, ma'am!

What do you have in your hands?

Umm. *looks down at her hands* A... rejuvenator?

Exactly, and what does a rejuvenator do?

Well, it rejuvenates Gems.

Right. Very good, Spinel.

So, uh... What's the point of this–?

You idiot! Why are you just standing there doing nothing?! What are you waiting for to go and rejuvenate Steven and that Quartz?! Take advantage now that they're surrounded! Come on, move!

Got it, I'll do it right away!

[Outside the palace.]

My diamond, do you really want to run away from this fight with your tail between your legs? What about your honor as a Diamond?!

I've never cared about that in the least!

But–

Jasper, please do as I say and let's get the heck out of here!

Ugh, fine! But how are we supposed to escape?

Well, the warp pad isn't that far from here. We just have to–

(Suddenly, Spinel pops out from the crowd of Fusions and lunges at Steven, ready to slash through him down with the rejuvenator.)

I GOTCHA!!

(Steventurns around and sees Spinel approaching him.)

*shocked* What the...!!

My diamond!! Look out!!!

(Jasper runs in front of Steven and then pushes him out of the way of Spinel's attack.)

Jasper, what are you doing?!

(Instead, Spinel ends up slashing through Jasper, cleaving her physical form in half.)

*groans in pain* My... Diamond... goodby–! *poofs*

NO!!

(Steven watches in shock as Jasper's gemstone falls at Spinel's feet.)

It wasn't her I wanted to rejuvenate first, but... *picks up Jasper's gemstone* I guess it doesn't matter.

Hand me that Gem! *runs up to Spinel* I'll send her to the conversion room to be turned into one of ours.

Here. *hands Jasper's gemstone to Holly*

*yells* Give her back to me!!!

*bubbles Jasper's gemstone and sends it away* Whoops! Too late, Steven.

*enraged* Grrr!

*turns to Spinel* Now, rejuvenate Steven!

I can't! He's too strong in that pink form!

I see. *to Fusions* Get him!!

(The Fusions immediately lunges towards Steven.)

*blinded by rage* THAT'S ENOUGH!!!

(Steven lets out a big, furious shout and the resulting shockwave sends all the Gems flying through the air, some of them unfusing and others poofing in the process. They then fall to the ground.)

*shocked* Wh-what the hell was that!?!
