Raspberry Tart's eyes rested on the small child, even he looked tired, and he manipulates the realm of the mindscape just a snap of his fingers on a near daily basis. He took a breath, "As you want, but remember what I've said, it's not my fault if you don't take the chances I've given you to leave."

He commanded his swarm of butterflies. The butterflies flying faster and faster, before the two of them were teleported out side of the memory of the gem-space itself, and rather observing the actions outside, just like the third person observers they were acting as in that moment.

Human Steven, Greg, and Connie were looking over the gems splayed out on the coffee table. The kitchen still a mess from the days worth of baking the cookies uneaten. Human Steven still glowing pink. "hey Schtuball, its gonna be ok, they'll be back in no time." Greg replied trying to keep a positive attitude. Connie nodding, "Yea, I mean this isn't the first time they poofed right?" Human Steven gaze was at his brother's gem, "Yes, this wouldn't be the first time, but this was certainly different, this gem came out of no where, with this giant drill that's pumping the Earth full of something, and then she said 'my human half wouldn't stand a chance' I mean granted I think she might have thought Steven was a hybrid, maybe?... but she said she did something to his gem! What did she do to you guys??" The human's voice cracking feeling the sadness in his throat, before seeing Pearl's gem start to float up into the air, eventually forming a hologram of a clam asking for a name. Steven and Connie both silent before turning to Greg, who spoke out his own name with a shrug. Pearl reforming in front of them. However not in the same outfit that Pearl sported before. The short hair that stopped just at the neckline with golden choker, pink cold shoulder top with the small darker pink star on her chest, with the long green fingerless gloves, with a darker green pair of pants that stopped at the mid calf, with a muddy red pair of flats with green socks that matched the gloves, were replaced with a long braided hair style that came down to the Pearl's waist, her outfit now more of a fancy dress, a pink diamond on her chest to indicate the Diamond she served, while a second pink diamond where her navel would be as a way to match her diamond. This Pearl had walked past the concerned Steven that was so confused to see her like this, only for her to greet his father as her Um Greg Universe. His eyes widening in shock, as the Pearl began to sing. The gem residing in her right palm wasn't cracked at all adding to more of the confusion. As the others reformed one after another, Ruby sporting a pony tail holding her curly hair back, Sapphire, forming soon after her hair reminiscent of a Padparadscha rather than the long hair most Sapphires were known for, Amethyst looking like a little puppet mimicking everyone else's movements as she was overcooked. It became more and more clear to Human Steven, "They forgot who they were.... this thing made them forget who they were." His eyes widened, going to pop the bubble containing Spinel, as she floated up as the other gems besides his brother's gem who still laid on the table dormant. The once twisted gem's heart shaped gem formed with it right side up and her glowing arms wrapping around Steven practically launching her into a hug knocking him to the ground and making him roll into the counter, with the song from the reset Pearl explaining that this cutey heart clad gem with the perfect cut, and that was pink as well, was named Spinel. Human Steven looked at her confused at the form he had seen before getting reset back into this small innocent form. "..." Human Steven twitched, his mind putting the pieces together, if everyone had forgot who they were that meant.... He just started muttering no repeatedly under his breath, his tears welling up in his eyes, to the point where he couldn't see, he was shaking. He lost Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven all in one day. While this cute little gem had no recollection of the days events at all, even trying to cheer him up by making his cute little faces, but his grief was stronger than the efforts of those around him at the moment... after all, there was that voice... it seemed familiar but distant?

The butterflies continued their swarming around them, unseen by the memories in the moment, who continued their conversation. "Connie, you can't be serious." His pupils white reflecting the worry in his human half. "This is stupidly dangerous, how the fuck are you expecting to pull that move off with a gem that's made of fucking taffy?" The pupils switching to black to represent the doubt in the gem half, the movement in their stance caused a severe pain to wave through their body, the gemstone nearly half away out of his form. He groaned in pain, doubled over, but fighting through the pain through his breathing techniques. "Squared..." She held his face squishing his cheeks, having them both focus on her, reflected in their balanced black diamond and white star pupils. "I'm dead serious about this. The world is actively dying, you know we can't waste time with an argument over my sake... just let me do this for you, Steven. I promise you we can make it out of this mess together " She gave the other that same warm smile that just beamed with energy to calm them down and helped them not worry as much. Squared looked deep into her eyes, not a hint of doubt on her end. Every word of it was true, so they had to take the chance. He gave in, Connie had a plan, and he put all his trust into her. He nodded, summoning a shield. "Ready when you are." Spinel was cackling off to the side as she peeled herself off the ground, took a deep breath and blew into her thumb and inflated herself back to normal with an audible pop. She was on her feet ready for another round of fun, seeing the other two put their plan into action. The fusion flung the shield directly at Spinel, who yawned as a taunt, the same old moves as before, they must be running out of material, however she turned confused, watching it fly past her. The fusion taking the chance, and throwing a second shield as Connie charged at Spinel as well, then took a leap off the second shield as Spinel turned around, shouting at the fusion, "Ya missed!" Spinel noticed sparkles from a freshly dissipated shield, then saw a shadow getting bigger as Connie had her sword above her head ready to slice the gem straight down the middle. "But I won't." Spinel replied with a twisted smile, pulling a ball of light out of her gemstone, as Connie grew closer. The light formed into a pair of garden sheers, a pink diamond shaped gem embedded at the hinges, and before the human or the fusion had known what would happen. Spinel opened the sheers, thrusting forward into Connie's midriff. Connie gasped in pain. Steven Squared tried to speed up as he had done before, but the pain from his dislocated gemstone brought them to their knees. Then with one large clang of the handles as they rammed into each other so the blades would cut. There was a light cling of the sword, the thump of Connie's lower half followed by a second thump of Connie's upper half as she had lost momentum and fell to the ground. She was in shock, her body pouring out more and more blood onto the grey dead grass of their small chunk of Earth they called their battle field. "Eegh, you humans don't exactly poof, do you?" Spinel replied with disgust as she rung herself out like a sponge to get the excess blood off herself. The sound of the butterflies flying over head, surrounding them in the moment. The beating of their collective wings sounding like the thunderstorm echoing throughout the memory. The fusion's legs gave out from under them, they fell to their knees, with a sobbing shout. "CONNIE!" His voice full of deep regret, and sorrow. His eyes burning up as big globs of tears beaded up under his sad eyes. (1/?)

The forest outside of the Beach City was dense with trees and other little creatures. The woody outdoor smell wasn't too bad when complimented by the soft beachy smell coming from down the way. However, there seemed to be an unrest in this forest, the sounds of screaming?? Or was it growling... perhaps both? Connie couldn't tell, but she knew if someone was in danger, it was her responsibility to help them out regardless. There was a corrupted gem roaming the trees, snarling and smacking down trees since they got in their way.
