I would like to point out that the Gems are not organic (Peral hinted to this in 'Alone Together' when she doubted Steven could fuse because he is organic.), they are magically and scientifically engineered Gems. Earth has Gems like Amythest. In 'On The Run' you learn Amythest was made on earth. My theroy is there were the main Gems, the Quartz, seeing as Rose was the only one with a last name before Universe, so Rose was like an imporant person from the home world, perhaps a princess of sorts. The gems almost act as though they are andriod like because they do not need to eat, as said by Pearl in 'Fusine Cusine.'. We can also take in the fact that in 'Alone Together' we saw those giant drilling machines, they were most likely drilling out Gems and then the machine would turn them into Gem beings, like Amythest. So the Gems that Rose and others faught off were draining earth of its reasources.

Now to explain Lion, I would like to remind people that Rose could make plant like gaurdians and her tears healed many varaities of things, it could very well be that Rose created Lion to store her most precious things from the reach of other gems, even Pearl and Garnet.

To explain Garnet, as I said before, the Gems were made, not born, so Garnet very well could be a stronger type of Gem that was created from two different Gems in a fusion experiment. Every Gem was uniqe in its own way, evedience shows in 'Rose's Scabard' when Garent picked up that Giant Axe.

Explaining the monster Gems, the monster gems very well could be surviors of the enemy gems from the Gem world, trapped on Earth after the Rebellion Gems destroyed the home world warp. The gems now trapped on earth very well could have gone mad and shapeshifted into a monster, like Steven did when he tried shapeshifting into a cat. He turned into a weird cat glob thing.

The Temple, the temple is pretty obvious. It shows when Rose, Garent, Amaythest and Pearl all joined together, which is probably how they won the war against home world. Its hommage to the victory against the Homeworld. Reminding them that Earth is now their home.

My theory is that the Gems are created by a different being. Lapas didn't state other Gems were coming with Peridot, she said that Peridot wasn't alone. It could every well be creators coming to earth for the reasources for Roses Gem, because Rose seemed to be a very key player in the Gem wars, that she ment something to the Gems. Probably like a key to the /universe/? The key for the machines to make more Gems. Remember, Roses powers essintally give life. With Rose's Gem they can continue going from world to world, making an army of Gems to rule the universe. Though her Gem was so much more than life, its also to protection and value of life, hence why Rose and Steven are so sensitive to all creatures.

FYI: Spoiler alert, they are going to use the trio of light cannons to blast Peridot out of the sky. Or they are going to try to.
