This is Peridot transmitting on all frequencies from abandoned crystal system colony planet Earth, to Yellow Diamond.

My mission has been compromised, myescort andinformant are gone and I am now stranded!

Please send help!

"Please send help! WHIIIRRR! Please send help! WHIIIRRR! Please send help!"

"Okay, Phantom, that's enough," a regal feminine voice ordered.

"Oh come on, I'm just having a little fun! It's so amusing to hear her sound so desperate!" a wicked masculine voice laughed, rewinding the last line one more time.

Inside a ginormous building on a planet not too far off from Earth, a figure was sitting in a chair, observing the message from Peridot, processing what the young gem said. She recalled a Gem named Lapis Lazuli returning to Homeworld after being trapped on Earth for a few thousand years, and she had revealed that the Crystal Gems were still alive and on Earth still, and Jasper, thinking Rose Quartz was among them, took the job as Peridot's escort to get rid of them so Homeworld could continue with their plans, with Lapis as the informant.

However, the ship's signal vanished just sometime after Peridot sent a message that they were leaving Earth, and there was no word on anything for a few weeks...until Peridot sent this message to Homeworld.

The mystery person stood up from her seat and exited from the room, with a stranger twice as tall as she was following close behind. "So, Yellow Diamond, what's our next course of action? Should we just leave Peridot, Jasper and Lapis on Earth and ignore the problem, or should we send a squad to retrieve them," the tall one asked the Gem named Yellow Diamond.

Yellow Diamond, one of the rulers of Homeworld, thought hard on the situation. On one hand, they shouldn't go to Earth because there were just three Gems that Homeworld could easily do without, especially since she had recently replaced Jasper as her right hand with the Gem by her side right now, Phantom Quartz; not many gems remembered who Lapis was, and Peridot could be easily replaced.

On the other hand, they should go to Earth because there were only FIVE Crystal Gems left on the planet, which could allow Homeworld to have a chance to get rid of the group once and for all, and revive the Kindergarten, and Rose Quartz had reformed, supposedly in some sort of weak form according to Jasper, so she could possibly be easily disposed of to avoid any sort of interference.

"If this helps make your decision easier, Moss Agate informed me that he and the tech department may have figured out a use for the humans, other than kill them for Gem entertainment of course. He says it could benefit future invasions of other planets," Phantom Quartz advised his leader.

Yellow Diamond looked up at the tall Gem and asked, "Really? And what idea is that?"

"Well, it's pretty hard for a Gem like me to explain," Phantom stated. "He said humans could be used as an energy source for these special machines he's making. But he's not sure if it'll work, so he needs some actual humans to test it on. I was thinking we could retrieve a few of them for that purpose when we're on Earth."

"If it'll really benefit Homeworld, I suppose I could allow you to move forward with that plan. Alright, arrange to have a squad of gems sent to Earth to capture the Crystal Gems and Rose Quartz, retrieve Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, and Peridot, and abduct any humans within the area for Moss Agate's experiment. In the meantime, I'll wait for word of your success on Homeworld," Yellow Diamond ordered.

"Excellent!" Phantom Quartz exclaimed happily. "I'll choose any Gems that would be useful on this mission. You will not be disappointed!" And with that, the tall gem zoomed down the hall, being nothing but a white and slightly brown blur to Yellow Diamond's vision.

"So Rose, you're army has shrunken down to nearly nothing and you still believe you can protect Earth. We'll see about that," the Lead Gem sneered sinisterly.

Well, this is my first Steven Universe fanfic, and the message I obviously got from the Steven Universe episode, Cry For Help, so the rights to those lines go to Rebecca Sugar.
