Rose's Secret Armory

"Rose's Secret Armory" is a location that was first shown in the episode "Lion 2: The Movie". It was where Rose Quartz stored many of her weapons and equipment. It can now be accessed by Steven and the Crystal Gems.

Description
The Armory, located in a cave on top of a tall cliff a couple miles from a Warp Pad, has a floor covered in water. The room contains a raised circular platform that activates using the Rose Quartz gem. In the center of the platform lies a pedestal that Steven can activate with his hand. It should be noted that Steven had difficulty using the platform the first time he had access to it, as he and Connie made futile attempts to pry his hand off the pedestal in the episode "Lion 2: The Movie".

When activated, the user can choose what weapons or equipment they want to appear. The selected items will then emerge from the floor. The shown equipment includes a set of different types of swords, a set of different types of Axes (the Axes of Ages), three Laser Light Cannons (Quartizine Trio), Spiked Chain Balls (The Heretic's Anguish), a set of different types of Armor (The Armor of the Fallen), and a giant penny.

About
In "Lion 2: The Movie", Lion brings Connie and Steven to the Armory through one of his portals. After looking through some of the equipment stored there, they accidentally unleash the Robot Shooty Thing and run away from the Armory through another portal. In "Rose's Scabbard", Pearl, hoping to find Rose's Sword, carries Steven on her back all the way to the cave, only to discover that Steven had already been there and already knew where to find the Sword. As of then, only Steven, Lion, Connie, and Pearl knew of the Armory's existence, but as of "The Return", since the Gems are seen using the "Quartizine Trio", it's possible that Pearl informed Garnet and Amethyst of its existence.

Rose's Pedestal appears to have different ways to be activated. After a brief conversation Steven and Connie had about "having to chop his hand off", the platform opened for the first time to reveal a set of swords. The next five times, it happened once Steven's body was poked in specific spots. Finally, the Robot Shooty Thing was released upon hearing the words, "and I want to see lots of explosions".

Trivia

 * The concept of the armory, being a cave filled with gadgets, armors and artifacts, is very reminiscent of the Batman's Batcave; both have a giant coin and suits/armor in glass cases too.
 * The design of Rose Quartz's giant penny resembles the "union shield" penny design introduced in 2010.
 * The first time Steven and Connie went into Rose's Armory, the penny showed up. However, it didn't show up when Pearl and Steven traveled there in "Rose's Scabbard".


 * The Quartizine Trio was used in "The Return" with the Laser Light Cannon to fire a shot on to the Gem Warship.
 * The Heretic's Anguish bears a slight resemblance to the (likely fictional) torture device Iron Maiden.
 * Rose's Gem-activated pedestal shown in the armory is similar to the pedestal in the Facet Five Prime Control Room, appearing in "Marble Madness" and subsequent episodes featuring the Prime Control Room.
 * According to Pearl, she was the only one that Rose trusted to know about it, although it is not explained how Lion knew about the place.
