The Irelanders Meets Steven Universe Future - The Finale/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders Meets Steven Universe Future - The Finale/Transcript.

(Theme song)

(The story begins at the Crystal Temple, Pearl knocks on the bathroom door.)

Pearl: Steven?

Amethyst: What's going on in there?

Batgirl (DCSHG): Is there something wrong?

(Jasper slams the door open.)

Gantu: What the?

Amethyst: Jasper?

Pearl: What are you—

Amethyst: Where's Steven?

Jasper: Right here.

(Jasper steps aside to reveal Steven.)

Amethyst: Steven? Where have you been?!

Connor Lacey: Really man.

(Steven does not respond and instead walks off to his conservatory. Jasper salutes him as he leaves.)

Pearl: You can't just disappear for days without telling us!

Jasper: My diamond can do as he pleases.

Amethyst: Wait, what?!

Optimus Primal: I thought Connor is your diamond.

Jasper: Well now I have two diamonds.

Pearl: Why are you calling him that?!

(Steven walks upstairs.)

Garnet: Steven!

Pearl: Where is he going?!

Connor Lacey: I know where.

(The Gems follow Steven as he is about to step onto the Warp Pad.)

Pearl: Steven, wait!

Garnet: You don't need to go.

Supergirl (DCSHG): Just tell us what's going on.

(Steven sighs as he turns pink and puts a barrier in front of the Gems.)

Amethyst: WHAT THE HECK!

Capper: That was weird.

Steven: You guys, I love you, but— you can't help me anymore. I've been avoiding the only people in the entire universe who can. Please, don't follow me. You too, Jasper. Find something better to do with your life.

Connor Lacey: Don't worry, Jasper. You'll always have me around to keep ya company.

Jasper: Thank you, Connor.

Garnet: Steven! Remember, we'll always be your family.

(Steven warps away to Homeworld.)

Fluttershy: I just hope that he'll be okay.

(Meanwhile at Homeworld, Steven enters the Diamonds' palace. Two Quartzes talk about an upcoming election, while Aubergine Pearl gives a tour to a group of Gems.)

A Jasper: I can't believe half of Homeworld's gonna vote for that Diamond stooge, Zircon. Now, Zircon, that's a face you can trust.

Aubergine Pearl: As you can see, this truly was the center of power in the Gem Empire throughout the second era. When you walk through these storied halls, it's easy to feel as if you too have the power of a Diamond. Now, if you'll follow me this way to the gift shop.

(The group follows Aubergine Pearl off screen, revealing Spinel standing behind them.)

Spinel: Steven!

(Spinel runs up and gives Steven a big, exaggerated kiss, which makes him furious and causes him to turn pink again.)

Steven: Spinel, what is wrong with you?!?

Spinel: Oh, y'know... the usual.

(Steven calms down and turns back to his normal color.)

Steven: Uh, so. How've you been since, uh...

Spinel: Since I tried to kill you? That was so embarrassing. I was just a wreck back then, but I am so much better now! So, what're you doin' here?

Steven: I need to talk to the Diamonds.

Spinel: No kidding. You never call, you never write...

Steven: Yeah, I'm kinda going through something right now. I've been glowing pink and swelling up.

Spinel: Oh, if you're having trouble with your physical form, I know just who you should see. C'mon!

(Spinel grabs Steven's arm and takes him to Yellow Diamond's quarters. At there, Steven and Spinel walk into Yellow Diamond's quarters. Yellow Diamond is sitting at her desk reassembling the shattered Gem, Flint, who cries out as she reforms.)

Chert: Hey. It's okay.

Steven: Yellow, what are you doing?!

(Yellow Diamond is startled, and turns to Steven and Spinel.)

Yellow Diamond: Oh Steven, you startled me! I was just reversing one of my awful experiments...

(Yellow turns and picks up Flint, bringing her to show Steven.)

Yellow Diamond: I can't always find every piece but watch this.

(Yellow Diamond uses her powers to heal Flint)

Flint: Hey!

Chert: Welcome back.

(Flint and Chert share a big hug, happily greeting each other once again.)

Yellow Diamond: After all the damage I’ve done it's only right to use my powers for a little reconstructive work on the Gems I’ve hurt. That reminds me, I’ve got to get to work to reconstruct the Gems inside the Cluster.

(Yellow Diamond gets excited and shares even more of her ideas.)

Yellow Diamond: Oh, and if any of you uncorrupted Quartz friends want their horns reduced then send them straight to me, I can alter any physical form.

(Spinel excitedly running towards Yellow Diamond)

Spinel: Do me!

Steven: Hey, I—

(Yellow Diamond uses her powers on Spinel, giving her muscular arms.)

Spinel: She can make my arms really tough and big!

Steven: That's cool but I—

(Yellow shrinks Spinel's feet.)

Spinel: And she can give me little teeny feetsies.

(Spinel recovers from almost tripping.)

Spinel: Ta-da!

(Steven continues to get angrier.)

Steven: Won’t you just listen to me?

Yellow Diamond: You have the floor, Steven.

Steven: My time and powers have been causing strange changes in my body. I’ve been growing very large and I don’t know what to do.

(Yellow Diamond goes up to Steven, prepared to use her new powers to help him.)

Yellow Diamond: Well I can definitely help with that. hold still.

(Yellow Diamond uses her powers to shrink Steven, much to his dismay.)

Steven: No! I don’t want to be small!

Yellow Diamond: Oh, forgive the misunderstanding.

(Yellow Diamond uses her powers to make Steven very large, angering him even more.)

Steven: I don’t want to be large either! I just want to be ME!

(Steven stomps his foot into the ground, creating a large crater beneath him, displeasing yellow)

Yellow Diamond: What has gotten into you? If anything's out of proportion its your temper.

(Yellow Diamond starts changing Spinel's form while speaking)

Yellow Diamond: You can be big if you want to, you can be small if you want to, but if you’re going to be upset no matter what then this probably isn’t physical, it's emotional. Go see Blue, that's her department.

(Spinel happily spins around Steven, getting ready to see Blue Diamond with him.)

Spinel: Blue!

(At Blue Diamond’s room, Blue Diamond is showing sitting in her room relaxing.)

Blue Diamond: Your powers have been causing you dramatic mood swings? That seems awfully troubling Steven.

Steven: You don't seemed troubled.

Spinel: That's because of Blue’s cool new power.

Blue Diamond: Back before you came into my life Steven, I wanted very one to feel the pain I felt. I realized I must make up for my awful behavior by bringing joy to others.

(Blue Diamond calmly comes closer to Steven and Spinel.)

Blue Diamond: In that moment my tears vaporized into clouds, bringing pure joy to those who come into contact with them.

(A cloud brushed up against Steven, causing him to chuckle.)

Steven: Huh?

Spinel: Just hang on and you’ll be feeling the cheer in no time.

Steven: Ugh.

Blue Diamond: I think you’d like it.

(Spinel proceeds to jump on a cloud, with Blue Diamond starting to sing a song.)

Blue Diamond: Cold palace walls, and endless empty halls, haunted by echoes of laughter.~

(Blue Diamond starts lifting up Spinel's cloud, with Steven staying on the ground using shields to push the clouds away.)

Blue Diamond: You gave a pull, and suddenly they’re full. You’ve thrown the gates open after you.~

(Steven is put onto a cloud that Blue Diamond uses to loft him up.)

Blue Diamond: And swept in with the throng, comes this wonderful song!~

(Blue Diamond stands up, playing with Spinel and trying to make Steven happier.)

Blue Diamond: My little reason why, I’ll never make you cry.~

(Blue Diamond makes heart shaped clouds for Spinel, and continuing to sing as well.)

Blue Diamond: Oh I have got the sweetest things to tell you everyday.~

(Spinel jumps down from her cloud, giving Blue Diamond a loving hug.)

Blue Diamond: My little reason why, you make me want to try, loving you~

(Blue Diamond ends her song, with Steven still appearing saddened.)

Steven: No, no, this isn’t right.

(Steven falls backwards, being saved by Spinel.)

Spinel: Hang in there sunshine!

Blue Diamond: What's the matter?

(Steven is shown to get angrier and more frustrated, not feeling any better after Blue Diamond's help.)

Steven: You can’t just magically make me feel better.

Blue Diamond: Yes I can. That's literally my new power.

Steven: I don’t want to feel better I want to be better!

Blue Diamond: I found happiness. If that's not something you think you deserve then I suspect this is an issue of self worth. I suggest you go to White for assistance with such matters.

(Steven and Spinel leave Blue Diamond's room, with Steven craving answers even more than before. At White Diamond, Steven and Spinel walk in and see White Diamond calmly sitting down.)

White Diamond: What perfect timing Steven. I’ve just got back from my recent charitable escapade. I’ve been going from planet to planet giving voice to the little gem.

(Steven and Spinel proceed to walk up to White Diamond, prepared to see what she can do.)

Spinel: White Diamond's powers work in reverse now!

Steven: What does that mean?

White Diamond: Why don’t I show you. May I, Spinel?

(Spinel gets very excited, ready to show Steven White Diamond's new power.)

Spinel: Yes please.

(White Diamond starts using her powers, allowing Spinel to take control of her. As this happens White Diamond's voice and color changes to match Spinel's.)

White Diamond and Spinel: Guess who?

Steven: What?

(Spinel starts speaking to Steven, using White Diamond's power to do so.)

White Diamond and Spinel: Isn’t it great? Instead of taking control of other Gems, she can channel ourthoughts into her body, so we can control her instead. Watch this!

(White Diamond, being controlled by Spinel, starts doing an energetic and crazy dance, shaking the ground in the process and further annoys Steven.)

Spinel: You don't like it?

(Steven looks very uncomfortable.)

Steven: It's fine.

(White Diamond stops using her powers, regaining her control.)

White Diamond: Oh, what fun. Thank you Spinel, but why don’t you leave me and Steven alone for a moment.

Spinel: Okay, don’t take too long.

(Spinel leaves the room, poking her head in just before the doors close.)

White Diamond: Now, what is it exactly?

Steven: I’ve been getting more powerful. New Diamond powers are coming out everyday and it's, it's scaring me.

White Diamond: Oh Steven, so many would dream to have your powers, yet it only worries you.

Steven: I’m scared I’m gonna hurt people; I guess I already have.

(White Diamond sits down, getting closer to Steven.)

White Diamond: Half a Diamond, half a creature of earth, in all the universe there's no one else that could know what you’re going through, so maybe it's time you talked to yourself.

(White Diamond reaches out to Steven, pointing to him.)

White Diamond: Would you like to try?

Steven: Okay.

(White Diamond uses her powers, allowing Steven to gain control of her.)

Steven and White Diamond: Woah, this is so weird. I’m... I’m... I’m a diamond. This—this is the last thing I needed to see. I don’t want to be you, I don’t want to be anything like you! Why won’t you just GO AWAY!

(Steven, as the controlled White Diamond, punches a pillar, crumbling it.)

Steven: Don’t hurt me! ...she can’t hurt me, I’m controlling her. So why am I so... afraid?

(Steven then flashes back to when White Diamond tried to remove his gemstone, feeling terrified as well. He scowls at the memory.)

Steven: She's the one who should be afraid.

(Steven then grows big, towering over the fearful White Diamond.)

White Diamond: (in Steven's voice) What's... What's going on?

(Steven begins controlling her like a puppet, forcing to stand.)

White Diamond: What! no stop it, I don’t like this!

Steven: Too bad.

(Now extremely vengeful, Steven begins steering her towards the pillar, clasping her hands to it.)

White Diamond: Let me go! Please, you’re scaring me!

Steven: This is for everything you put me through!

(Steven tries to slam White Diamond's head into the pillar, in an attempt to shatter her gemstone, However he instead snaps them out of it and hits his own head, allowing White Diamond to regain her control.)

White Diamond: What... what was that??

Steven: I—I don’t know—

(Once again swelling up and turning pink, Steven runs away from White Diamond and leaves the room.)

White Diamond: Wait!

(Steven runs out of White's room, passing Spinel and the other Diamonds on the way)

Yellow Diamond: Steven! Was White able to help you?

(Steven ignores her and continues running. Spinel chases after him, her legs a cartoonish blur as she runs.)

Spinel: Hey, buddy! Where 'ya going?

(Steven stops, Spinel drags her feet across the floor to stop herself before she runs into Steven. He grabs her shoulders and shakes them desperately.)

Steven: Hey, wait a sec! You used to have vengeful thoughts!

Spinel: Ohh, yeahh. But I don't get 'em anymore.

Steven: How did you make them stop?

Spinel: I met a little someone named Steven Universe! And he told me...

(Spinel starts singing the same song that Steven sang during their old battle on the injector, to which Steven groans in annoyance.)

Spinel: ♪ That I, I, I can make a change! You can make a promise— ♪

Steven: Don't give me my own advice!

(Steven glows and his face swells up again. The Diamonds then run in.)

White Diamond: Steven! Let us help you, Steven!

Spinel: ♪ I can make a stand— ♪

(Yellow and Blue look at Steven's appearance in horror and he runs away and Spinel continues to sing before noticing he'd left.)

Spinel: Hey, wait up!

(As he runs, Steven swells up even more. He grows taller and his hair becomes poofier, greatly resembling that of Pink Diamond's. A sandal falls off his foot, he doesn't notice and continues making his getaway.)

Spinel: Steven!

Yellow Diamond: Let us help you!

Blue Diamond: We're your family!

(Steven stops and looks back at them with tears in his eyes.)

Steven: Please, don't follow me.

White Diamond: Steven!

(Steven does not respond to their calls, and instead warps away just as Red Diamond saw what happened.)

Red Diamond: Excellent. Soon my revenge will be complete. Yes.

(Steven, still glowing pink, warps into his greenhouse and walks into his room. Steven's phone rings, receiving a call from Connie.)

Steven: ...Hey, Connie, what's up?

Connie: Steven! Good, you finally picked up! I can't believe we haven't spoken since the hospital. How are you?

Steven: I'm great! Never been better!

Connie: Really? Have you had any more issues with swelling and glowing pink?

Steven: Um... Nope? Well, maybe, but how about you? How's college prep?

Connie: Steven, that's, uh- It's fine, but what do you mean, maybe?

Steven: Look, there's nothing to worry about. I'm okay.

Connie: Steven...

Steven: I should go. I don't wanna wake up the Gems and the Irelanders.

Connie: But they don't even sleep!

Steven: Uh, bye!

(Steven groans as he ends the call. He looks down at his flip flop-less foot and holds his hands out in front of him. He grabs his head and his television turns on.)

Steven (TV) *in "Mr. Universe"* -is I'm a UNIVERSE-

(His television cuts to static, turning on again shortly after. The shattered shards of Jasper are shown from their reveal in "Fragments". His television cuts to static again. In "Homeworld Bound", White Diamond is shown from Steven's nightmare vision about to shatter herself. Steven gets up and turns the television off, gasping as he sees his diamond-shaped irises in the television's reflection.)

Steven: No! No-n-n-n-no! Th-Th-This isn't happening...! I didn't think about shattering White. I-I-I didn't shatter Jasper. I didn't fight with Dad. I- *happily* I'm Steven Universe!

(Steven sees the portrait of himself and Garnet.)

Steven: I'm fine. I'm fine!

(Steven shatters the glass of the sliding door to his room with his scream.)

Pearl: Steven? Is that you?

(Amethyst is seen running into the room, followed by Pearl, who trips on the top stair, and Garnet.)

Amethyst: What happened?

Pearl: Are you okay?

Steven: I'm fine.

(The Gems gasp at his appearance.)

Connor Lacey: Steven, you look different.

Steven: Going to see the Diamonds was a waste of time. I thought I needed to figure myself out, but I know who I am. I'm Steven Universe! I help people, I don't... hurt them.

Amethyst: Dude, what's going on? You look really different.

Steven: Pfft, I'm still good ol' Steven!

Batgirl (DCSHG): Okay.

Garnet: Steven. We're worried.

Steven: I'm okay. Really!

(The Gems and the Irelanders share a concerned look.)

Garnet: We'll take your word for it.

Steven: You know, everything's gone downhill since I quit running Little Homeschool. I should head over there and make myself useful! I'll see you all there.

(Steven speeds out of the room. The gems turn around in slow motion. Steven speeds out of his home and past the Big Donut. The giant donut on top leans forward as he runs past, which he stops briefly to fix. He runs straight to Little Homeworld.)

Steven: Ah, Little Homeworld. Long time, no see!

(Still speeding, Steven launches himself into the air and lands safely on the Little Homeworld Warp Pad.)

Steven: Time to find someone in need of my assistance.

(The scene changes. Cherry Quartz, Pink Pearl, Peridot, and an Aquamarine are seen in Peridot's greenhouse. Steven appears in a window at the back of the scene.)

Steven: What do we have here? *gasps* Peridot's horticulture class! Perfect! If anyone can get a plant to perk up, it's me.

(Steven enters the room. The same four characters, with the addition of a Sapphire, are seen gathered around a table. Pink Pearl holds a pot of flowers over the left side of her face.)

Steven: Need some help?

Peridot: Woah! Steven! What, uh, brings you back to school?

Steven: Just your friendly, neighborhood "Stev-o", passing through and ready to make a difference! And I see you have a couple of struggling saplings here. I can help with that!

(Steven is preparing to lick his hands when Peridot stops him.)

Peridot: Not so fast! Amethyst says you're on a strict "No Plant Friends" policy!

Steven: Aw, what? No. I'm just giving them a healthy nudge!

(Peridot looks at the plants. A leaf falls off of one of them.)

Peridot: Hmm... It is hard to see them in such sad shape. Mm, alright. Just a scientific smidge, though!

Steven: *chuckles* You got it!

(Steven licks his finger. A slow shot is shown of the pink, sparkling finger approaching the plant. Suddenly, a large number of plant Stevens break the walls and ceiling of the Greenhouse. Peridot and the students of her class run out of the doors, screaming. Steven follows cautiously.)

Steven: Would you look at that? Life! It's everywhere. And, really, what's a little broken glass between friends?

(A plant Steven runs out of the greenhouse, yelling excitedly. The camera shifts to Garnet giving a counseling session to two humans.)

Garnet: Now, tell me how that makes you feel.

(Peridot screams off-screen, causing the humans to gasp in alarm and stand.)

Garnet: Alright, see you next week.

(The humans run away as Garnet summons her gauntlets. She steps forward, ready for action, as three plant Stevens surround her.)

Plant Stevens: Steven's here to help! Steven's here to help! Steven's here to help!

Steven: Oh, Garnet! I see you're making some new friends! Then I guess this was a net win. Welp, gotta run and help more people. It's what I do!

(As quickly as Steven entered the screen, he speeds off, as a plant Steven comes up behind him in slow motion, attempting to give him a hug. Steven comes to a stop in front of Bismuth's Forge.)

Steven: That's right! It must be shop-o'clock! Bismuth's shop class, that is. Time to get my shop on!

(Amethyst enters the screen, wearing a sports coach's outfit.)

Amethyst: You good, bud? You talking to yourself?

(The scene shifts. Bismuth is standing in front of her anvil with Pearl to her left. To her right, Yellow Pearl is seen modeling wedding armor, with Snowflake Obsidian, Bixbite, and Blue Pearl in that order following.)

Bismuth: Now, the detailing requires a light touch-

Steven: Uh, hey, howdy, hey!

(The camera reveals Steven casually leaning against the door frame.)

Bismuth: Woah-ho-hoh! Looking good, Steven!

Steven: Why, thank you, Bismuth! So, you, uh, in need of a teaching assistant?

Bismuth: Well, Pearl's my TA today, but I guess I could use a wedding expert for my wedding armor crafting demonstration!

Steven: Woah... I can help with that!

Bismuth: Lemme just get some steel warmed up for us.

(Bismuth pulls a bar of steel out of the coals. After morphing her fist into a hammer, she flattens out and curves the end of the bar.)

Bismuth: Alright, that looks good, for a start. Hey, Steven, help me finish shaping this pauldron?

Steven: Yeah! I got this.

Bismuth: All yours.

(Bismuth backs out of the way and lets Steven get behind the anvil. He cracks his knuckles and raises his fist, about to punch the metal.)

Bismuth: Hold on there, boulder-brain. This is detail work! No need for a giant mallet when a humble hammer will do.

(Bismuth passes Steven a tiny hammer. He gingerly accepts it.)

Steven: Oh, yeah. Right.

(Steven gently taps the metal and the screen flashes pink upon contact. The anvil beneath the metal cracks and splits in two.)

Pearl: Ehh...

Bismuth: Ahh...

Steven: *laughing nervously* Ooh, look at that. Now you have twoanvils.

Bismuth: *falling to her knees* Noooo! My anvil! My beautiful anvil!

Steven: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, my work here is done. Well, toodles!

(Steven leaves a concerned-looking Pearl comforting Bismuth, who has her hands over her face, by speeding away. More plant Stevens pass outside Bismuth's Forge. Steven speeds his way straight into a game of baseball. A Nephrite is shown pitching a baseball to a Ruby. Amethyst is to the right of the Ruby coaching the game while Onion stands next to her. At the bases are two humans and a Topaz, with Larimar in the outfield. Amethyst blows her whistle loudly.)

Amethyst: What's up, man?

Steven: I wanted to see if you needed any more players, 'cause I'm ready to have a ball!

Amethyst: Ooh, we could use a new outfielder. Oi, Larimar, hit the showers! Steven's subbing in.

(Larimar gets up and runs off.)

Steven: Yeah, good hustle out there, buddy! Wow, I'm honored to be joining such a great game. I mean, everyone here has just been playing outstanding.

Amethyst: Batter up!

(Onion takes a bat and takes his place at the plate. Nephrite throws the ball and Onion hits it. It flies straight toward a window.)

Steven: The window!

(Inside the window, the Heaven and Earth Beetles can be seen. Steven speeds up and jumps to catch the ball. The Beetles' terrified faces are shown just before Steven catches the ball and lands safely on the ground.)

Steven: I did it.

(The other players applaud.)

Steven: I didn't mess anything up! YEAH!

(Steven's scream causes a windstorm powerful enough to send Larimar flying, shatters the glass around the courtyard, and causes the Beetles' building to collapse.)

Steven: Uh- oh... I-I'm sorry. That- that was an accident. But, what are accidents, other than new opportunities to improve, right?

(Steven looks down at the Beetles, who look back at him with shock on their faces.)

Steven: We- we all make mistakes, and- and as long as we improve ourselves, everything is gonna be okay!

(Two plant Stevens come up on either side of Onion, laughing. Amethyst looks on with concern.)

Steven: Alright, let's get to it. Hup!

(Steven picks up a large log and walks off with it. One of the plant Stevens does the same, while the other picks up Larimar. Steven laughs nervously as he passes Amethyst.)

Amethyst: Uhh...

Plant Steven: WE'RE HELPING!

(The scene changes to Steven's house. Steven himself warps in.)

Connie: Steven!

Steven: Huh?

(Connie is standing next to Steven's couch while the Irelanders, Greg, Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet are sitting on it.)

Connie: I knew it! You are swelling and glowing again. I've been trying to call you, but I came as soon as I saw this.

(Connie holds out her phone, on which Steven, glowing and swelled up, is doing the plant Steven's dance and looping the message "Steven's here to help!")

Connie:?What is going on?

Steven: I... broadcast my subconscious sometimes these days. It's really no big deal.

Connie: Okay, but... I can tell something is bothering you.

(Connie holds out her phone again. The message changes after some static from "Steven's here to help!" to "Steven help!" The static continues, switching the two words repeatedly.)

Princess Sofia: This is getting really weird.

Steven: Ah, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm fine! Awesome, in fact. Come on, you've seen me when I wasn't doing well.

Greg: Steven, if being like this is what you want, then we'll support you one hundred percent. Whatever makes you happy. But, if you're not happy, if something's wrong-

Steven: Nothing's wrong! Besides, I don't want you to worry.

Connie: We are worried!

Greg: Steven, you know you can tell us anything.

(Steven looks down and frowns.)

Steven: It's not that easy. You know what? I don't have to deal with this.

(As Steven moves toward the door, Amethyst, Pearl, and Connie run to block his path. Off-screen, Garnet stands and blocks the path to the warp pad.)

Amethyst: Hold up, dude.

Avalor (Gem): You have to tell us what's going on.

Garnet: Steven! You have to stop running.

Greg: Please.

Connor Lacey: Let us help you like you helped us many times.

(Steven seizes up and his face swells.)

Connie: Steven, we should get you back to the hospital.

Amethyst and the Irelanders: HOSPITAL?!

Pearl: HOSPITAL?! When were you in the hospital?!

Connie: You didn't tell them?

(Steven groans, swelling up again. His breath quickens.)

Steven: It wasn't that important, you guys. You're making a big deal out of nothing. Have I done some things wrong? Sure! I trashed the house today. I broke an anvil. What teenager hasn't? Dad and I had a little disagreement. That's practically a rite of passage!

(As Connie and the Gems turn their questioning gazes to him, Greg shrugs.)

Steven: I mean, it would be weird if we didn't, right? And maybe, I've had a not-so-nice thought or two about, like, you know, slamming White Diamond's head through a pillar, but it's not like I actually went through with it! I only actually shattered Jasper!

(Pearl gasps and her eyes widen with shock.)

Amethyst: WHAT?!

(Garnet's jaw drops, Greg and Connie gasp as well.)

Connor Lacey: You did what?!

Connie: You're- you're joking, right?

Steven: Oh, don't worry! I fixed that too! I can fix anything. I can just keep messing up and fixing things forever, and you'll never have to know or think about any of it!

Garnet: Steven...

Steven: *gasps* How messed up is that? That I've gotten away with this for so long. You have no idea how bad I am.

(While Steven talks, Pearl is shown putting her fist up to her mouth in horror. Amethyst grimaces. Connie's face remains still, frozen in shock.)

Steven: You think I'm so great, and I'm so mature, and I always know what to do, but that's not true! I haven't learned a thing from my problems! They've all just made me worse!

(Greg's face is shown while Steven rants, similar to Connie's. Garnet looks down and grimaces.)

Steven: You think of me as some angel, but, I'm not that kid anymore!

(A close-up of Steven's scowl is shown.)

Steven: I'm a fraud.

(Steven falls to his hands and knees, letting out a sob. He takes a deep breath.)

Steven: I'm a fraud!

(Steven grabs his head with both hands as his body starts shaking violently.)

Steven: I'm a monster.

(The music crescendos rapidly as massive pink spikes burst out of Steven's back, tearing his shirt. Everyone takes a step back, with plain terror displayed on Greg's face.)

Sunset Shimmer: This is bad. Very bad.

(Cut to black. Then a large thud shakes the ground and the entire city notices, including Peridot and Bismuth, who are cleaning up Little Homeworld. The citizens of the city in the streets look and see a giant Pink Kaiju Monster on the beach who roars loudly. The scene cuts to Lapis, Larimar, and Angel Aura Quartz overseeing the beach on the Little Homeworld tower.)

Lapis Lazuli: What?

(Cut to the Beach House. Bismuth, wearing her old suit of armor, Jasper, Ice, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Lapis and Peridot enter from the Warp Pad.)

Bismuth: Reinforcements are-huh?

Deema: Glad you came just in time.

Connor Lacey: We could use everything we got.

(The group are surprised to see the entire front wall of the house demolished. As they walk outside, they see Connie, Greg, the Irelanders and the Crystal Gems trying to reach out to the monster who is slowly walking around.)

Chungu: Steven! You need to calm down!

Sideswipe: Take a chill pill pal!

Greg Universe: Just calm down, son! Take deep breaths! Deep breaths!

Goby: Inhale and exhale!

Amethyst: Yeah! Relax, Buddy! (The monster's claw lands down near her, making her dive away) Oh!

Oona: Amethyst!

(Turning, the monster roars loudly. Bismuth, Peridot, Jasper, Ice, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems and Lapis all jump down to the beach.)

Steel: Bismuth, Peridot, Jasper, Ice, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems and Lapis! You're here!

Peridot: Let's hurry up and clobber that thing!

Ice (Gem): And set Steven free!

Garnet: Stand down!

Peridot: What for?

Taydenite: Yeah.

Lapis Lazuli: Where's Steven?

Jasper: Where are you, my Diamond?!

Garnet: That is Steven.

Jasper, Ice, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Peridot, Lapis Lazuli and Bismuth: *eyes widen* WHAT?!

Gil: It's true. He has been corrupted.

Connor Lacey: Even though the other Gems have been incorrupted

(Steven, now a gigantic pink monster bashes his head against the cliff of the temple, causing an avalanche of boulders to fall.)

Garnet: RUN!

(Everyone runs away from the rocks as they crash down.)

Amethyst: He's not listening to us at all!

Pearl: What happened to him? First, he says he's a shatterer, and then he's turned into...this thing!

Steel: Wait till we get going.

Connie Maheswaran: We can change him back, can't we?

Chase: I doubt that it would be a possibility.

Garnet: *looking down* Chase's right. As long as he believes he's a monster, he'll stay one.

(Roaring again, Steven begins to move towards Beach City.)

Tara Skinner: Where's he going?

Deema: He's heading for the city!

Janja: We can't let him get there, otherwise both that city and Little Homeworld will be destroyed!

Bismuth: We gotta keep him away from the town!

Garnet: Connie, do what you can to protect the townspeople.

Connie Maheswaran: Right! *leaves on Lion*

Cheezi: Good thing Connor knows a lot, Janja.

Janja: Yeah, Cheezi. But I wonder why is Steven being corrupted.

Connor Lacey: We'll find out when we hold him down.

Chungu: Oh, then maybe it'll work.

Garnet: Right. *to Jasper, Peridot, Lapis, Ice Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems and Bismuth* You others, draw him into the ocean and hold him there. Let's go guys. *touches Amethyst and Pearl's shoulder to fuse into Alexandrite*

(Steven tries to climb over the lighthouse and towards Beach City, scaring townspeople away. Alexandrite jumps on him and covers his eyes. Steven begins to move and squirm around, bashing Alexandrite between him and the hill, forcing her to unfuse. Peridot moves her, Jasper, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Ice and Bismuth through the air with her powers and hit Steven, getting his attention.)

Bismuth: That got his attention!

Ice (Crystal Gem): Right.

Peridot: *calling after him* Sorry, Steven!

Jasper: Forgive us when this is over!

(Steven jumps out to the ocean to attack them, but Lapis forms a whirlpool under him and launches water chains to restrain him. He begins to struggle and roar again.)

Lapis Lazuli: I've got him, but I can't hold him forever!

Brawn: We gotta try!

Twilight Sparkle: Brawn's right!

Rocky: Besides we need to figure out what's causing Steven's corruption.

Amethyst: Now what do we do?!

Pearl: We can't just leave him like this!

Deema: We have to fight!

Garnet: We need to reach him in there. We need to bring out his humanity.

Goby: Good thinking.

Amethyst: Except for one thing.

Rattrap: What's that, Amethyst?

Amethyst: *sighs* You know who would be great at that?

Everyone: Who?

Amethyst: STEVEN!

(Everyone looks up to see the Diamond Ship landing beside them.)

Goby: It's the Diamond Ship!

Connor Lacey: That means the Diamonds are here with Spinel!

Spinel: Yoo-hoo! Steven!

Blue Diamond: Is this a bad time?

Amethyst: You gotta be kidding me.

Cliffjumper: It's Spinel with the Diamonds!

Mirage: What are they doing here?

Janja: All very illuminating.

Connor Lacey: Maybe to help us with this problem.

(The doors of the ship open and Spinel jumps out, holding Steven's flip flop.)

Spinel: You forgot your foot thong thingy-(She sees Steven) Oh! Oh!

(The Diamonds walk out, seeing the monster. Spinel climbs up on Yellow Diamond's shoulder.)

Yellow Diamond: What is going on here?

White Diamond: Why is something like this always happening when we show up for a visit?

Blue Diamond: What is that thing?

Garnet: That thing is Steven. *The Diamonds gasp*

Yellow Diamond: WHAT?

White Diamond: IMPOSSIBLE!

Molly: It's true.

Blue Diamond: *fearful* Is he corrupted?

Deema: I'm afraid so.

Yellow Diamond: But how?

Garnet: Never mind that. We have to change him back.

Chase (Paw Patrol): And how do we do that?

Yellow Diamond: Leave it to us. You wanna fuse with me, Connor?

Connor Lacey: Sure. (Activates Ultimatrix)

Gemstone: Gemstone!

(Yellow fuses with Gemstone to form Peach Diamond and rubs their hands and sends an energy aura towards Steven to try and revert his physical form to his normal self. Despite shrinking his head, it immediately reverts to full size and he roars.)

Skye: That didn't work.

Peach Diamond: *surprised* With Yellow’s new power, I should be able to alter his physical form. (Defused)

Blue Diamond: He's resisting. Maybe he needs to feel better first. We can help with that.

(Blue fuses with Gemstone to form Violet Diamond and they conjures up her clouds of joy and blows it towards Steven, but he forces the cloud directly towards Violet.)

Violet Diamond: Oh no. (Defused)

Yellow Diamond: *runs in front of them* Look out! *the cloud hits Yellow and Spinel, causing them to burst out laughing* Wow! Your new power didn't work, either!

White Diamond: Enough. I know exactly how to help. *walks towards him* If we connect with him and he speaks through us, maybe we'll understand what he's going through. (Fuses with Gemstone)

Light Pink Diamond: Now then. Do you hear me, Steven? *The gem of White Diamond glows and the atmosphere colors change* Just relax and let us in.

(Steven roars at the colors changing.)

Light Pink Diamond: Wait. *their eyes glow and they fall back as they defuse*

Both: Ahh!

Yellow Diamond: White!

(Blue and Yellow Diamond catch them as White Diamond snaps out of it.)

Blue Diamond: What happened?

White Diamond: Oh! That's not Steven anymore!

Red Diamond: No he's not.

(Steven roars, beginning to break free from the water chains.)

Lapis: I-I can't hold him much longer!

(Steven's eyes and spikes glow, and he lets out a big, furious roar that pushes White, Yellow, Blue, Spinel, Bismuth, Jasper, Ice, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Avalor, Peridot, Lapis, Greg, the Irelanders, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl back and breaks the water chains holding him. The Diamond Ship topples over. The impact causes Garnet to unfuse into Ruby and Sapphire as well. Steven walks towards them, but the cracks in the ground cause The Cluster to emerge and appear, grabbing him. Pearl wakes up, sees it and gasps.)

Amethyst: *running up* Guys! Look! The Cluster is trying to hold Steven back!

Peridot: I can't believe it! He's even stronger than The Cluster!

Bismuth: Don't let your guard down. He could break free at any moment.

Pearl: Deep inside this...monster. Steven must be in there, so angry.

Amethyst: I knew something was goin' on. I, uh- why didn't I do something?!

Sapphire: *crying* If we don't get through to him, he'll stay like this forever! *Ruby and Sapphire sob*

Gemstone: This is really really bad.

Red Diamond: Yes, Steven! Fight against the Cluster! Prove to me that you are stronger than any Gem in the universe!

Yellow Diamond: Red? Why are you rooting for Steven?

Red Diamond: Well it's quite interesting really. Besides Red Diamond was just a cover up for you know who I really am.

White Diamond: What are you talking about?

Red Diamond: Before the end of the war against the Crystal Gems, you started to make more Gems to be part of your kind.

Blue Diamond: How did you know that?

Red Diamond: Because I was there.

(Flashback starts)

Red Diamond: You were a young Diamond back then, creating more Gems. So if you know that if four Diamonds aren’t enough you wanted to make more, so you tried the Ruby shards. A Transformer spark possessed that Diamond Gem so that it can become a part of me and I was released into this world. A rejoicing victory for you and a new beginning for me.

(Flashback ends)

Red Diamond: You're starting to put it together. A red transformer spark and the way I said yes and no in a different way. That could mean only one thing.

Megatron (BW): (As his Red Diamond voice lowered to restore his own) I AM MEGATRON OF THE BEAST WARS! I have had many forms and now my victory is certain.

Energon: So he's the Predacon slash Vehicon leader that almost remake Cybertron in his image?

Connor Lacey: That can't be true. Right White?

White Diamond: I...

Megatron (BW): It is true, yes. I've waited years for you to create Pink Diamond so that I can turn her and her son into a monster and with you three Diamonds including the Autobots fused with me, I will return to Cybertron and remake it in my image. And today, that becomes reality!

(Uses White Diamond’s old powers on the Diamonds, Steven and the Autobots and puts them under his control so that he can fuse them together)

Mega Megatron: Kneel before me, Little Homeworld! For I am Mega Megatron! The most powerful and super cool fusion of them all!

Amethyst: Dude! You should get outta here before you get hurt!

Greg: NO! Every time Gem stuff happens, I run the other way! This is my son! And he's right to be angry because I didn't protect him!

Pinkie Pie: *tearing up* Yeah. You didn't protect him from the Diamond! *crying* He's like this because of them!

Supergirl (DCSHG): *crying* They're the source of Steven's suffering!

Spinel: *crying* *blows nose* This is my fault! *sobs loudly*

Big Barda: *crying* Spinel! Don't be silly! Everyone knows that all of this is because of White Diamond!

Spinel: NO, it's because of ME! I tried to wipe his friend's memories so he could die alone on a barren world!

Raven (DCSHG): *crying* But that was because you were angry with Pink, and if Pink hurt you, it was because White hurt her! Like she hurt Yellow, and Blue, and Steven, and everyone in the entire universe! *sobbing* This is all her fault!

Connie: YES, IT IS!!

(Everyone turns to see Connie has returned and she jumps onto the beach with Lion.)

Connie: Yes, she hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about her! That is not helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are because he always puts everyone else's feelings first! But he can't do that for you right now, because he needs us this time! We all had Steven when we needed him, but the only person who's never had Steven is Steven! He's always been there for us, so, *sighs*... How can we be there for him NOW?!

(Ruby and Sapphire fuse back into Garnet.)

Garnet: I know how.

(As Garnet summons her visor, they turn all to see Mega Megatron overpowering the Cluster and throwing it down, sending it back to the Earth's core. He begins to quickly run towards them.)

Garnet: Okay! No time to waste! Connor, you need to fuse with every Crystal Gem you've befriended including the Homeworld Gems who changed sides and the ones you created.

Gemstone: Even Spinel?

Garnet: Even Spinel.

Gemstone: Okay.

(Then, Gemstone fuses with all of the Crystal Gems to form a new fusion and Gemstone’s evolved form)

Ultimate Gemstone: Mega Megatron, you will soon cringe in fear for the mighty Ultimate Gemstone is here!

Twilight Sparkle: Save some for me sweetheart!

(Fuses with the Rainbooms to form Osumare Melody)

Osumare Melody: Save the for me, Osumare Melody!

Ultimate Gemstone: Alright Mega Megatron, we're giving you one chance; surrender our friends or be destroyed.

Mega Megatron: I give you both no chance at all!

(Then, the battle of three fusions began as Ultimate Gemstone summons Opal’s bow and fires an arrow at him while Osumare Melody uses Human Pinkie Pie’s party bomb to blow him up)

Ultimate Gemstone: It's time to let the Magic of Friendship end this!

Osumare Melody: Till all are one!

Mega Megatron: This is my world now! You and your precious friends have no place in it!

(Just as he was about to attack, Mera goes around him again and lifts up a wave to stop and distract him.)

Mera: Sorry buddy, I need you to stay here!

Mega Megatron: No!

Ultimate Gemstone: What's the matter, Megatron? Is your new body having trouble moving?

Mega Megatron: No matter! Even with me chained up, your friends will be no match for my power!

Ultimate Gemstone: You're wrong! The Autobots, the Diamonds and Steven are still inside of you! They will fight with us! STEVEN! We know you and the others are still in there! You all need to fight off against Megatron! (Defused)

Connie: STEVEN!

The Irelanders: STEVEN!

Crystal Gems: STEVEN!

Greg: STEVEN!

(Now the same size as the villainous fusion, Garnet leaps up towards Mega Megatron.)

Garnet: STEVEN!!!!!

(A surprised Mega Megatron begins to struggle as Garnet lands and holds her arms tightly over him, giving him a hug.)

Garnet: *calmly* Steven, when I fell apart, you were there for me. I want to be there for you now. I'm here, Steven. I'm here. *hugs closely*

(Mega Megatron stops struggling and stands in the hug.)

Lapis: This is working? You hear us? STEVEN! *comes in and hugs him*

(The Diamonds come in for the hug too, with White having an awkward expression. The rest of the Gems and Greg make it in too, with Spinel coming in to tie them all in the hug together with her arms.)

Greg: I'm here, Schtuball! Whatever you need, I'll make it happen! You hear me?!

Peridot: STEVEN! You never gave up on me for some reason I don't understand! I'LL DO THE SAME FOR YOU!

Amethyst: *crying* I know you feel bad! Believe me, I get it! Sometimes it feels like you're never gonna like yourself but... *sniffs* It's possible,man!

Pearl: tearful* Steven, I know how awful it feels to keep a part of yourself secret! You shouldn't have to hide anything from me!

(Mega Megatron grunts, as The Cluster reemerges, holding his hand. Connie appears last, jumping from Lion's portal and lands on his nose. She walks closer, hugging him.)

Connie: *sighs* Steven... you must have been so afraid to show us this side of yourself. But we're not going anywhere. We're all gonna take care of you the same way you take care of us. You know what? I don't have your powers, but... *kisses him*

(The scene cuts to black, a pink droplet appearing. The scene then cuts to show pink drops falling into the ocean, as Steven cries.)

Megatron (BW): No! This can't be happening!

(His tears start to glow, and then the rest of him as he starts to defuse and transform back.)

Optimus Primal: Get out of him, Megatron!

(Optimus Primal removes the red diamond gem from Megatron as the scene fade to white. Steven wakes up, back to normal, still crying, and notices Connie wiping away his tear.)

Steven: Huh?

(Steven looks and sees Blue, White, Yellow, Spinel, the Irelanders, Greg, Connie, Garnet, Lapis, Bismuth, Pearl, Jasper, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Ice, Peridot and Amethyst smiling at him, and that he is sitting in the Cluster's open hand.)

Steven: Wha... I... *tearing up* D- Did I- I'm-

Ultimate Gemstone: Yes, Steven. (Transforms back into Connor Lacey)

(Lion comes into his vision and licks his face.)

Steven: *chuckles* Lion. *hugs him and laughs* Lion! *sniffles*

(While still hugging Lion, Steven, letting out his emotions and he begins sobbing as Spinel sits in the loop in Blue Diamond's hair. Still wearing her armor, Bismuth moves one of her tears away. We watch as the group sits on the Cluster. Then, Megatron (BW) rises up from the water in his original T Rex form.)

Megatron (BW): What? You removed my power.

Jack Landers: Yep your Red Diamond powers. Confinement mode!

(Jack confines Megatron (BW) in a imprison card.)

Connor Lacey: That takes care of him.

(Fade to black. Later, at the Beach, Steven sets down a stereo on the beach. He presses play on the stereo and backs up. The workout track from "Future Vision" begins to play. During this, Steven performs the exercise routine from the same episode.)

Stereo: *in Korean* Let's exercise! Cha! One... two!... Two... two!... Three... two!... Four... two!...

(Lion roars off-screen, and his portal opens just to the left of the stereo. Lion lands on top of it with Connie on his back.)

Connie: Good morning, Steven. One last routine before hitting the road?

Steven: Yeah... I’ll be sitting for a while.

[Cut to the Temple]

(Steven and Connie sit on top of Steven's bed with Lion on the ground next to them. Connie types on a computer on her lap, while Steven studies a map laid out in front of him.)

Steven: I'll be in Charm City in time for Shep and Sadie's concert, I’ll meet up with you and Lion on Providence Island when you’re touring schools, and then I’ll catch up with Lars for our weekly space hangout.

Connie: I'll add that to your Boogle Maps doc. So... how did everyone take the news?

Steven: I basically told everyone in Beach City – plus my dad – but, I haven’t told the Gems or the Irelanders yet.

Connie: You gotta tell them!

Steven: I-I know, I just have no idea how they’re going to take it. They’ve been so protective of me these last few months since my meltdown. I wonder if there’s a way I can let them down easy.

[Cut to the kitchen.]

(Steven stands at the foot of the table, facing the Warp Pad, where the Irelanders, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl return from.)

Pearl: Oh, Steven! Were you waiting for us?

(Steven opens a cooler full of homemade Cookie Cats.)

Steven: I sure was.

Amethyst:Whoa, Cookie Cat!

Pearl: I thought they stopped making them.

Steven: They did, so I made my own.

(Steven looks at the Cookie Cat's slightly deformed face.)

Steven: You can kinda tell.

(Garnet takes a bite of her Cookie Cat, while Amethyst has already finished hers.)

Garnet: They’re delicious.

Amethyst: Mmm-mmm!

(Pearl takes a hesitant nibble out of her Cookie Cat's ear.)

Pearl: Scrumptious!

Amethyst: Remember when you used to sing that song for us?

Pearl: If I may... *clears throat*

(As the music plays, the Gems recite the lyrics to the Cookie Cat song.)

Pearl: rapping* Oohhhhh! He's a frozen treat with an all new taste!

Amethyst: rapping* 'Cause he came to this planet from outer space!

Garnet: rapping* A refugee of an interstellar war!

Pearl: rapping* But now he's at your local grocery store!

Amethyst: rapping* Cookie Cat!

Pearl: rapping* He's a pet for your tummy!

Amethyst: rapping* Cookie Cat!

Pearl: rapping* He's super-duper yummy!

Amethyst: rapping* Cookie Cat!

[Music stops.]

Garnet: He left his family behind.

Steven: That’s right, he did leave his family behind.

Amethyst: That’s not how it goes!

Steven: I think maybe Cookie Cat had run out of ways to grow on his home planet. And even though it must’ve been hard, and he loved his family so, so much, maybe he had to leave to keep moving forward.

Connor Lacey: Yeah.

Amethyst: We're still talking about ice cream, right?

Steven: Everyone... I’ve decided to move out! Don’t worry about me, I have a very comprehensive plan to visit all 39 states before I decide where to settle down, and I can still video chat my new therapist while I’m on the road. Do not try to talk me out of this!

Pearl: When are you leaving?

Steven: Uh... tomorrow.

Pearl: Oh, so soon! Well, all human adolescents need to seize their independence eventually.

(Pearl gives Steven a hug.)

Pearl: I'm so happy for you.

(Pearl exits.)

Amethyst: Yeah, bud. I’ll miss ya. Peace!

(Amethyst exits.)

Steven: You guys know I may never come back, right?

(Garnet places her hand on Steven’s shoulder.)

Garnet: We know, Steven. This will be an exciting new chapter in your life.

Connor Lacey: I'm gonna miss you, bro.

(Garnet exits, leaving Steven shocked by their surprisingly calm response.)

Steven: That... went well... right?

[Cut to Little Homeworld.]

Bismuth: You... WHAT?!?! What’s the problem, Steven? Are you mad at me?

Steven: Of course I’m not mad at you.

(Bismuth brings Steven into a tight hug.)

Bismuth: Then don't leave! Oh no, am I smothering you? (backs away) I get it, I get it.

Steven: Bismuth.

(Bismuth turns her hands into a saw and hammer.)

Bismuth: How about I build you a nice vacation house just outside of Little Homeworld?

(Lapis approaches Steven, briefly summons her wings and outstretches her arms.)

Lapis: Listen to me, Steven. You can’t run away from yourself. Wherever you go, you’ll be there. Trust me, I know.

(Peridot drops down on the floor and sobs into her hands. Steven kneels down and gives her his hand to hold.)

Steven: Peridot. Come on, it’s okay.

Peridot: Where am I going to find another Steven as good as you, huh? I like this one so much!

Steven: Here, I want you to have this.

(Steven gives Peridot his old salmon-pink shirt from the original series.)

Peridot: My very own Steven shirt?.

Steven: Be the Steven you want to see in the world.

(Peridot wails once more and blows her nose with the shirt. Steven approaches Lapis, who has her arms crossed.)

Steven: Lapis, this is for you.

(Steven gives Lapis a drawing kit as she reads the description.)

Lapis: What the? 142 pieces? 60 crayons? 24 oil pastels? It even has watercolors?!

Steven: Do you like it?

(Lapis takes the box with tears in her eyes.)

Lapis: I... love it!

(Steven moves to Taydenite and her team.)

Steven: Everyone, this is for you.

Taydenite: Our own weapons?

Ice: This is amazing.

Green Energem: Awesome.

Everyone: Thanks Steven.

(Steven approaches Bismuth with a bright pink flag.)

Bismuth: Stay back, Steven!

Steven: Bismuth, I can’t think of anyone who’s more of a Crystal Gem than you. So please take this: the original Crystal Gem flag.

Bismuth: Oh, Steven.

(Peridot (wearing Steven’s old shirt), Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Ice and Lapis walk up to Bismuth and Steven.)

Bismuth: If it wasn’t for you or Connor, none of us would be who we are today. You make me so proud to be a Crystal Gem.

Peridot: crying* Why did you have to put it so well, Bismuth?

Lapis: crying* I’m gonna use my tears to make a watercolor painting of you.

(Steven also breaks down as they all hug each other.)

Steven: crying* Peridot, Lapis, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira, Zamaron, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, Energems, Ice, Bismuth... I love you!

[Cut to outside of the tower Steven and his friends were standing on.]

Peridot, Mnemosyne, Thymyscira Ruby, Zamaron Sapphire, Taydenite, Energon, Sundrop, Moonstone, the Energems, Ice, Lapis, and Bismuth: We love you too, Steven! *all crying*

[Cut to Steven walking near the tower.]

(Steven wipes his tears with a smile on his face. A hole is busted through the wall, revealing it to be Jasper, staying aloof. She doesn't face Steven.)

Jasper: Heard you're leaving.

(Jasper faces Steven.)

Jasper: I'm coming with you!

Steven: Jasper, I’m going alone.

Jasper: Then who will protect you?!

Steven: I can protect myself.

Jasper: *gives a disappointed sigh and scowls* I know.

(Jasper punches a hole in the ground and looks the opposite direction.)

Jasper: Farewell, my Diamond.

(Jasper headbutts the wall, creating another Jasper-shaped hole next to the previous one. She walks through it.)

Steven: Whoa! Even Jasper’s more upset than my own family! Maybe I need a round two?

[Cut to the Temple.]

Steven: Oh, Amethyst!

(Amethyst jumps up into a sitting position on the couch with Steven in front of her, holding a box.)

Amethyst: Huh?

Steven:I have a gift for you.

Amethyst: Is it food?!

(Amethyst grabs the box, tilting the contents of the box into her mouth.)

Steven: No! It's-

(Amethyst holds an old game console in her mouth, surprised it's not food.)

Amethyst: mouth full* What the?

(Amethyst spits the console back into the box.)

Steven: It's my old video game systems!

Amethyst: Aw, dude... you better kiss your high scores goodbye! *laughs*

Steven: What?!

Amethyst: And say goodbye to your save files, too! Oh, I've been waiting forever to play through Golf Quest Mini on my own! *exiting the room* Why the heck would you own a game with only one save slot anyway?

(Steven is left dumbfounded and alone in the living room.)

Steven: Uhhh...

[Cut to the porch.]

(Steven opens the front door and greets Pearl, who is sitting in a white chair, playing her bass.)

Steven: Hello, Pearl!

Pearl: Oh, hi Steven! Do you need help packing?

Steven: No, it's just-

(Steven takes out his old ukulele.)

Steven: I'm leaving you with my ukulele.

Pearl: Steven! That's very thoughtful of you.

(Pearl puts the ukulele inside of her gem.)

Steven: Pearl, it's okay to be sad that I'm leaving.

Pearl: But Steven, it's a good thing that you're going to get out there and explore the world. It's not something to be sad over.

(Steven frowns, his eyes large and tear-filled.)

Steven: tearfully* Yeah, you're right.

(Steven starts walking back inside, groaning.)

Pearl: Alright, have fun.

[Cut to the Temple hand.]

(Steven warps to the Temple hand where Garnet is doing the laundry. He is holding a large scrapbook in his arms.)

Steven: Garnet!

Garnet: Well bust my britches, it's Steven Universe.

Steven: I'm here to give you a very important and sentimental gift because I'm leaving. Getting to plan Ruby and Sapphire's wedding was so amazing, and I hope that one day, you can help me plan my own.

(He holds up the scrapbook titled "Dream Wedding" to Garnet. She takes the scrapbook in her hands.)

Garnet: Thanks. I'll take good care of it.

Steven: Okay, Garnet, level with me here. You used your future vision, saw that everything would be fine, and told the Gems not to worry about me. That's it, right?

Garnet: Steven, I don't need future vision to know that you're gonna be fine.

(Garnet heads over to the warp pad.)

Garnet: Besides, part of the fun of leaving is figuring it out on your own.

(She warps away, leaving Steven to cry alone.)

[Cut to Steven's room.]

(Steven shuts a suitcase filled with old items and sighs.)

Greg: You alright, Schtu-ball?

Steven: Yeah, it's just-

Greg: Just what?

(Steven puts the suitcase on the floor.

Steven: Well, I told the Irelanders and Gems I'm leaving but I don't think they're even sad about it.

Greg: Isn't that a good thing?

Steven: I guess I wanted them to be at least a little upset. Is that petty?

Greg: You're allowed to have feelings, even petty ones.

(Greg walks over to Steven and gives him a hug.)

Greg: They love you, kiddo. They're probably just trying to be supportive.

Steven: Thanks, Dad. Oh! I still have to give you your gift!

(Steven jumps up onto the bed and puts a poster of "Kerry Moonbeam" on the empty wall.)

Steven: It's all yours. I want you to move in!

Greg: Huh? Don't you think it's a little... ritzy for me?

(Steven sits back down on the bed, patting the space next to him with his hand.)

Steven: Try the bed, Dad.

(Steven and Greg lay down on the bed, looking at the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling.)

Greg: Woah. Steven, I don't think I can get up.

Steven: I knew you'd like it.

Greg: sighs* I guess the Gems are gonna swap one Universe for another, huh? You know, you heading off and me settling down, it makes the kind of karmic sense I just can't resist.

[Cut to the beach in front of the Temple.]

(The Gems, Greg, the Irelanders and Connie are all gathered next to Steven's car, ready to give their goodbyes. Steven gives Connie a hug.)

Steven: Bye, Connie. See you soon.

(They share a kiss and Steven holds her hands, both of them blushing.)

Connie: Text me when you get to that bed and breakfast. Don't breakfast without me.

Steven: You got it.

(Steven hugs Greg next.)

Steven: Bye, Dad.

Greg: Aw, I'm gonna miss you, Schtu-ball. But I'm so proud of you.

Steven: Thanks, Dad.

(He approaches the Irelanders, Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst and gives Pearl a hug.)

Steven: Goodbye, Pearl.

Pearl: Goodbye, Steven.

(Steven hugs Garnet next.)

Steven: Bye, Garnet.

Garnet: So long, Steven.

(He hugs Amethyst.)

Steven: Bye, Amethyst.

Amethyst: See ya, bud. Don't forget about me!

Steven: I won't. See ya soon, Irelanders.

The Irelanders: (overlapping voices)

(Steven reluctantly says goodbye to all the Gems.

Steven: Well, I guess this is goodbye.

Garnet: We'll be thinking of you.

Steven: Alright then.

(Steven gets into his car and begins to drive off, watching his friends wave to him in the rear view mirror. As he gets farther and farther from then, he begins to panic, and once they are all out of sight, the car comes to a screeching halt and reverses all the way back to the Irelanders and the Gems. Steven appears in the car window with tears going down his cheeks.)

Steven: tearfully* What's wrong with you guys?! Aren't you sad that I'm leaving?

(Amethyst bursts into tears.)

Amethyst: crying* Oh man, I can't take this anymore!

(Garnet sprays tears all over her visor as they run down her cheeks.)

Garnet: We were trying to be strong for you.

(Pearl turns her head to face Steven, sobbing sloppily as she's unable to speak.)

Garnet: Pearl agrees.

Connor Lacey: Indeed.

Batgirl (DCSHG): We where just a little upset with you.

(Steven jumps out of the car, running over to the Irelanders and the Gems.)

Steven: You guys!

(They leap into a group hug and sob together.)

Amethyst: crying* I was kidding, man! I'm never gonna delete your save files!

Pearl: crying* Ah, I love that ukulele! I'll never play anything else!

Garnet: I'd be overjoyed to plan your wedding. In fact, I've already planned over 363 versions of it.

Connor Lacey: Good thinking, Garnet.

Steven: Why didn't you guys just tell me all of this?

Garnet: I'm sorry, Steven. I couldn't resist looking into your future. I peeked. But I saw a possibility that our tears would keep you from leaving.

Amethyst: crying* We didn't wanna hold you back!

Garnet: But I also saw many paths ahead of you, and we are a part of all of them.

(Garnet takes off her visor.)

Garnet: Wherever you end up, we will visit you to talk, to listen, to be there, whenever you need us. We love you, Steven.

(Steven wipes the tears away from his eyes.)

Steven: I love you too.

(Greg wipes a tear from his eye, and Connie puts her hand on his arm to comfort him. Steven begins to get back into his car as Garnet waves at him and Pearl begins sobbing again.)

Garnet: Check your rear left tire before you hit the desert! It's not serious, but could be trouble if left unchecked!

(A tear goes down Garnet's cheek, and Amethyst throws him a peace sign.)

Amethyst: Later bruh!

(Pearl continues to sob uncontrollably as Steven starts the car and begins to drive off.)

Garnet: Bye, Steven!

Amethyst: Bye! Have fun!

Connie and Greg: Bye!

Pearl: crying* Bye!

Irelanders: See you soon!

("Being Human" plays as Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl continue to wave after their departing friend. In front of the Big Donut the townspeople hold a banner saying "Bye Steven" and wave after him. Steven waves back at them as they yell their final goodbyes as he turns the corner, passing the car wash. Steven turns up the radio and begins to drive out of Beach City and towards his distant future. Our view moves up into the night sky as the stars glistening. Fade to black as the credits roll. After that, Connor and Garnet have a talk.)

Garnet: We're gonna miss little Steven already. Right?

Connor Lacey: Yeah.

Garnet: Is there something wrong?

Connor Lacey: (In Scoop's voice) I was just thinking. You will see me again one day. Won't you?

Garnet: (In Ace's voice) What do you mean?

Connor Lacey: (In Scoop's voice) Oh! I knew it! I knew you'd stay when it was finished.

Linda Ryan: Who says she's staying?

Connor Lacey: Wha.. What? You mean you're....

Human Pinkie Pie: Yay! My new Crystal friends are coming!

The Irelanders: Yippee!

Connor Lacey: They're all coming?

Prowl: Well, apart from Connie and Greg.

White Diamond: We'll come with you too, Connor. Me, Yellow, Blue, Volleyball and Nephrite will come with you too as part of the Nightmare Knights.

Linda Ryan: That's right, Connor. If they want to join the team.

Jasper: Wherever my Diamond friend goes, I go.

Pearl: And we'll always go with you.

Amethyst: After all any friend of Garnet, is a friend of us.

Elsa: And any friends of Connor, are a friend of ours.

(The group went through the Realm Portal for the next episode of the Realm Games as the screen fades to black.)
