Lars: Captain's log.

Star date, uh...

Thursday.

Space is really big.

Everything is messed up.

Our nova thrusters are busted.

And getting home

is taking forever.

Hey, Captain?

Should we be

writing this down?

Uh, yeah!

Who wants a party sub?!

What exactly

are we celebrating?

You guys beat Emerald.

- And you rescued me and Connie - from the Jungle Moon.

- And you have this - super fast ship,

- So you'll be back - on Earth in no time.

It's only super fast

when it works!

Captain Lars...

I've finished...

rerouting...

Power from the gravity engine

to the nova thrusters?

Great! Twins, floor it

on the thrusters!

Right away, Captain.

Yes, Captain.

- Aww! Aww! - Aww! Aww!

Captain Lars,

don't use the thrusters.

We're going to lose power!

Thanks, Padparadscha.

Hey, if we're going to be

drifting a while,

there's somebody

I'd like you all to meet.

[ Groans ]

Are they bigger

than that sandwich?

Maybe a few pickles bigger.

Bigger than you?

I mean,

they don't have to be.

Fine. Bring 'em over.

[ Shing! ]

[ Shing! ]

[ Whoosh! ]

Twins!

Another... Steven?

There's more of you?!

[ All gasp ]

♪♪

Her eyes.

A fusion?

He's going to bring back

another Steven!

This is Garnet.

- She leads the Crystal Gems - back on Earth.

Just look at you all!

You must be Rhodonite...

A Ruby and a Pearl?

That must have been a story.

I want all the details.

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Eh.

And you must be

the Rutile Twins.

[ Gasps ] I've never seen

anyone like you before.

We were... made like this.

Fluorite. Whoa.

You're just, uh, beautiful.

And here's Padparadscha,

an orange Sapphire.

How rare.

I predict you're going to make

everyone uncomfortable.

It's not nice to make fun

of us like that.

Haven't you guys heard

a compliment before?

A what?

What's that?

You know, it's when someone says

something nice about you.

Who would say nice things

about Gems like us?

We're completely inappropriate,

and so are you.

We should all be ashamed.

Aw, Steven.

These Gems feel just like I did

before I met Rose Quartz.

Both: Rose Quartz?

Rose... Quartz?

You met Rose Quartz?

And your survived?

You guys know about Rose?

She was the Anit-Gem...

An organic beast that burst

out of Earth's crust

and vowed to destroy all Gems!

No, no.

She was made from a vein

of hyper-defective quartz.

A malformed quartz

gone haywire.

Don't... be... silly.

Rose... Quartz... isn't... real.

You have it all wrong.

Rose Quartz?!

Of course that's how

they tell it on Homeworld.

Come on, everyone.

Let me tell you the story

of the real Rose Quartz.

It was Era 1.

The Diamonds, unique

in their flawlessness,

sought to expand their

perfection across the galaxy.

And it was for this purpose

that Pink Diamond

chose her first colony,

the planet Earth.

On Earth, every Gem was made

to serve Pink Diamond,

each with a role to play

in her world's perfect empire.

In comparison to their creator,

their existence was ordinary.

They were life-forms

only meant to fit their mold,

and no one had ever dared

to think otherwise...

Until there was Rose Quartz.

In stature, she was no different

than any other Quartz,

and for a time, she did her best

- to carry out - her Diamond's bidding.

♪♪

However, she began to take

notice of her strange colony

and the life that existed there.

Curiosity

turned to appreciation.

Appreciation

turned to fondness.

And fondness... turned to love.

Soon she was unable

to keep her findings secret,

and she began asking

her fellow Gems

- if they knew - of the life on Earth

And what they made of it.

She continued to pry her

fellow kindergartners

with questions so odd

that word of her eventually made

its way to Pink Diamond.

Rose Quartz

was summoned at once.

"Quartz," began Pink Diamond,

"What have you been

saying down there?"

"Why, Diamond," Rose pleaded,

"It has come to my attention

that your colony,

Earth, bears life.

While I know these organic

life-forms serve no purpose,

I ask that we leave this planet

and spare their lives."

Pink Diamond thought

for a moment

and then laughed,

a wicked, empty sound.

- "You wish to save - these life-forms

At the expense of our own?

Ha! Don't be absurd.

Return to your post, and I will

forget your insolence."

And with that, Rose Quartz

was dragged back

to her kindergarten for duty.

Only Rose could no longer

stand to continue

- aiding in the destruction - of Earth.

She had no choice.

She had to fight.

[ Twinkle! ]

♪♪

"Is this what you want...

To inject, to build?

I've seen the life that exists

for itself, and it lives here.

Will you destroy it,

or will you join it?"

- Rose's message - began to resonate,

To Pink Diamond's dismay.

Her colony was falling apart.

So, like a coward, she called

for her Diamond allies,

Yellow and Blue, to help.

But Rose also found herself

with allies,

other Gems that were cast out

for being wrong...

A Pearl who belonged

to no one...

- a Bismuth who built - weapons for rebels

Instead of towers for tyrants...

an entirely new fusion

for not power but for love...

and countless others,

all inspired by Rose

to live for ourselves on Earth.

She was our leader.

And Earth was our precious home.

- And those who fought to save it - became known as...

The Crystal Gems!

Unbelievable.

There were Gems like us?

Fighting.

For... their... freedom?

Yes, and we were fearless.

It was an impossible fight,

but we fought anyway.

And the more Gems who saw us,

the more who joined.

But Pink Diamond's forces

proved too strong.

Rose feared that soon she would

have nothing left to protect.

♪♪

Rose Quartz

drew her rebel blade...

[ Shing! Crack! ]

and shattered Pink Diamond,

saving the Earth for all time

from her reign of terror.

Wow! That's incredible!

I don't believe it!

Your mom did all that?

That's awesome!

Wait. What about the rest?

What happened after that?

- Garnet: - The other Diamonds were furious.

In a last-ditch attempt

to wipe out the rebellion,

the Diamonds launched

a direct attack against Earth,

and in their fury, they used

their powers to end the fighting

once and for all.

[ Twinkle! Zap! ]

♪♪

I predict this story

won't have a happy ending.

We were all told

different stories.

But they all ended

the same way.

With Rose Quartz...

being... defeated.

This new version of the story

is even worse!

So, she was great,

and they beat her?

- What are we supposed - to get out of this...

That we can never win?!

We haven't yet, but we can,

and we will.

They said they annihilated

Rose's rebellion,

but here we are.

They said they annihilated

all of you on Homeworld,

but here you are.

- They think they have us - on the run,

But they're the ones that are

running from the truth.

And the truth is

we... are... everywhere!

But how many more of us

can there be?

Way more than you think!

I was only on Homeworld

for, like, an hour

before I ran in to you guys.

There must be Off Colors

all over the place.

Rose used to say there

was something about Earth...

Something that set Gems free.

But it's not just Earth.

Look at you.

Love, freedom...

It's universal.

You all prove it every moment

you live as yourselves.

You can show everyone.

We... can do that?

Not while we're floating

out here like sitting ducks.

Fluorite, let's take

another look at that engine.

- Yes! - Okay!

Yeah!

Fluorite: Lars.

Before we can activate

the thrusters,

- we're going to need - to restart the core.

How do we do that?

We'll figure it out

together.

Hey, uh, Garnet?

When Connie and I were stranded

on the Jungle Moon, I...

We... saw something...

a vision... of...

Pink Diamond.

Hmm.

- When Blue Diamond - came to Earth,

I had dreams where

I saw through her eyes

and I was crying her tears.

If I'm having the same dreams

about Pink Diamond,

what if that means

she's still out there?

She's gone, Steven.

- Your mother - made sure of that.

But I felt such

a strong connection.

You have empathetic powers

that other Gems don't have.

You're unusual, Steven,

like them and like me.

It's not something to fear.

It's something to celebrate.

Come on, come on.

Oh, strange.

- The core should have - come online by now.

I predict that Captain Lars will

be pressing the wrong button.

Oh.

Yes! We did it!

♪♪

- Does that mean you can - get back to Earth?

Not... quite.

The nova thrusters

still need... repairs.

We can hit up the nearest

colony for parts.

Rhodonite, tell me

there's one nearby.

Well, we aren't far from one of

Yellow Diamond's asteroid mines.

But that place will be

crawling with Agates, Captain.

It's incredibly dangerous.

So are we.

Let's show 'em!
