Honestly, I don't think the cluster is going to actually have a negative end on the planet. Of course, I don't know how they're going to stop it without literally destroying the Earth, but I believe the CG will find a way.

I'd also like to point out that in Keeping it Together, it sounds like the cluster that Garnet destroys (after almost nearly coming undone because of it) is crying out for "help" at certain parts--I mean, you can genuinely hear it say "help" if you listen.

Following this, in Nightmare Hospital, when Steven bubbles himself, Connie, and Connie's mother, when the two clusters bang on the bubble, you CAN hear them speak without doubt. The first one cries, "Help!" and the second one cries, "Rose Quartz, help!"

These clusters aren't monsters. They are the remaining fragments of former Crystal Gems, who were allies to Rose, and died during the rebellion. (Garnet says this in Keeping it Together.) Notice whenever they grab Garnet in Keeping it Together, they don't fight her or hurt her, they just literally hold onto her.

The reason they act so hostile is probably because they are confused, and likely, in pain. They want help, they want out of the terrible situation they've been suffering for thousands of years now, they don't want to destory the planet--before when they were all whole, they were trying to protect it.

I feel confident Steven and the other CG will find a way to stop the cluster from tearing apart the planet, and also befriend/help the gems who are stuck within that cluster so that they can either be repaired (possible using Steven's healing powers, or Rose's fountain?) or at least allowed to die in peace...
