I've seen people saying that Sardonyx is going to be Jasper forcing Steven to fuse with her (as she still believe that he is literally Rose and such), but I don't think so. I think Malachite herself is going to do it.

Remember how Garnet was saying how Lapis and Japser's 'anger and mistrust' was holding them together? And if that broke, it'd end up going haywire and 'wrecking havoc'? She was referring to Malachite, Malachite going haywire, not Jasper and Lapis (I can't remember her exact quote word-for-word).

Lapis wasn't talking about holding Jasper down, remember how she said she had to use the whole of the Earth's water pressure to keep her down? Jasper is strong all right, but she is definitly not that strong for all that pressure to be needed to keep her down.

We know that Fusions aren't two people, and they're not one person either, but from what we've seen (Sugilite in particular), is that they can feel and believe that they're not a fusion in sorts, but are their own person, their own Gem (though still being aware that they are a fusion, as Sugilite quotes "I'm tired of being split up!").

If the bond holding Jasper and Lapis together becomes unstable in a different manner to one which causes them to simply defuse, it could go the complete opposite and cause Malachite to go haywire, basically acting like Sugilite (though I believe it will be MUCH worse).

If Malachite was to believe she is "her own", it's incredibly possible that she herself could force Steven to fuse with her if she does want to wreck utter havoc and destruction.

What makes this worse, is when Lapis literally states "We're Malachite now", could she be declaring her seperation to be over? And that they are one being now? And what Malachite says to Steven before he wakes up: "GO!", that could have just been Lapis telling him to leave her alone, or, both Lapis and Jasper giving him a warning.

Now looking at the patterns on an actual Sardonyx gem, it does have a similar stripe formation to Malachite, and then there's the fact of it being a quartz... Well, that's pretty self-explanitory.

Maybe this will be Steven's regeneration once he defuses, we saw that Amethyst and Garnet were pretty damaged after defusing as Sugilite (the more independant and chaotic the fusion, the more harmful it is for the fused gems?), who knows how it could affect Steven...

That's just my theory anyway.
