Early the next morning, Shini, Fluttershy, and Lapis were relaxing on the beach watching the sun begin to rise, and all the while they were reflecting on the events of the last few days.
"I hope we find the next tower soon." Fluttershy said, thinking of what will happen to all the lives on homeworld.
"I'm sure we will." Shini said with hope in her heart.
"Me too." Lapis said before she thought of telling them of all that happened to her. "Hey girls there's something you should know about me. I wasn't always a part of the team."
"What do you mean?" Shini asked.
Lapis recalls memories that begin on Earth about thousands of years ago in a beautiful green-filled savanna "It was thousands of years ago. I was only meant to visit for a short time, but I got caught in the middle of the war. It was awful! I tried to run, but... I was attacked from behind dissipating her physical form in the process. I was picked up by a Homeworld soldier and confused for a Crystal Gem and used as a tool. my gemstone is placed on the back of the Mirror. They'd asked me, 'Show us your base!', 'Where is your leader?' I didn't know. I couldn't say I'm not one of them. It soon became clear that there was no hope in stopping the rebellion. All of the Homeworld Gems fled They begin to flee through the Galaxy Warp and flying saucers, and all the panic of escaping Earth The mirror was dropped and her gemstone is stepped on in the retreating stampede, cracking it in the process, I was left behind. A bright flash of light appears in the sky And there I stayed. Freedom in my sight, but out of reach for ages, until I was found. A younger Pearl appears to be scanning the Galaxy Warp and picks up my mirror"
"That must have been awful." Fluttershy said, feeling sorry for her.
"It was, but some time later I was found by Steven and let out of the mirror, but my gem was still cracked so I couldn't go home, so Steven fixed it with his healing powers. I soon repaid his kindness by saving him and his friends by fusing with Jasper to become Malachite." Lapis explained.
"How long were you two together?" Shini asked.
"Hard to say, time stops for you when you're fused you know." Lapis said. "Shortly after that he let me stay on earth with him and the others."
"That's nice." Fluttershy said, happy things worked out for Lapis. Just then, Dusk Quartz called them on their communicators.
"We found another tower, head to these coordinates." He said on the communicator.
Shortly after they arrived at the tower and knew the drill. Kraang Drones charged at our heroes, who took them down without breaking a sweat. Soon they approached the control panel and saw that two more fusions were added to the security.
"Kraang Subprime must have given the towers a self learning program, adding new threats to the system." Dusk Quartz said in irritation.
"Then we're about to add two more threats to the system." Garnet said before turning to the others. "Steven this time your with me, and Amethyst and Pearl, you two fuse next."
"OK." Steven said before turning to Pinkie "Pinkie, the stereo players."
"Right here, Steven." Pinkie said as she pulled the stereo players out. Connie pulled out two more cassette tapes entitled 'Amalgam' and 'Sunstone' put 'Sunstone' into one of the stereo players.
"Ok, let's get started." Connie said as the tape started playing Steven and Garnet danced and came together to fuse into a woman who has a fire-shaped head, bright orange skin with normal orange patches, and two sets of arms: one bulky and muscular with the other slender. The smaller pair can often be seen displaying peace signs or shakas, demonstrating their laid-back nature. They wear a pair of dark red shades, covering their eyes, Steven's t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Garnet's gloves at the lower arms, Steven's pants as shorts with a red pocket on the left leg and a blue pocket on the right leg, and sandals. This is Sunstone the fusion of Steven and Garnet.
"What up my dudes." She said with a smile on her face "Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down."
"Unbelievable!" Fugitoid said in amazement.
"Oh, you better believe it." Sunstone said as she bends down and points at Fugitoid with a wide grin.
"Okay!" Fugitoid said in agreement
"Ok, Pearl, Amethyst, your next." Connie said as she played 'Amalgam'. Pearl and Amethyst danced and came together to form a giant woman who has a lean, toned body with two pairs of slender arms. She is very tall, being at least twice as tall as Garnet. Her height is partly due to her constantly on the tip of her toes. Opal has periwinkle skin, a thin, rounded face with a pointed nose and plump lips (traits inherited from Pearl and Amethyst, respectively), baby blue eyes, and thick, wavy, off-white hair. Her hair extends slightly past her calves, tied back into a rowdy ponytail by a pale salmon band. Extending from off the ponytail's sides are chin-length bangs resembling Pearl's and two small pigtails in the front tied by pale yellow ties. Her two gemstones are in the same places where Amethyst and Pearl's gemstones are. Opal's outfit consists of fuchsia, knee-length leggings with pale-violet cuffs rolled up, and yellow flat boots. Opal had a strapless pastel teal top with a drape in the front and back that went down to her shins, featuring an accented star at the base. She wore these drapes in a similar fashion to Amethyst and portraits a star-shaped pattern on her waist. This is Opal, the fusion of Pearl and Amethyst.
"Ok, Sunstone, you ready." Opal said
"Yeah I'm ready." Sunset said before looking at the audience "But remember kids, were trained professionals, so don't try any of this at home."
"Nice fourth wall break there." Pinkie said to Sunstone, who fist bumped her before heading inside with Opal followed by Donnie's spy bot. They enter the power core room and come up with a plan to destroy it. Sunstone summons her suction cups and uses them to pull out parts of the core, then when the center is exposed, Opal summons her bow and shoots an arrow at the core. They soon exit the tower just as it explodes. They unfuse just as everyone gathers around them, congratulating them for a job well done. Sunset soon saw a small cloud pass by and touched it, causing it to turn into a key piece. she then saw a rock, shinier than all the others, and when she touched it, it turned into a key piece.
"So Lapis, what are you and the others going to do now?" Shini asked as everyone was heading home.
"Remember the gems that were corrupted, until the Diamonds cured them?" Lapis asked "Well, Bismuth, Peridot, and I are thinking of building a little place for them called Little Homeworld."
"That's awfully nice of you." Fluttershy said with a smile.
"Well after everything they've been through, they deserve it." Lapis said with a returning smile as they followed the others home.
