|
| [Open Int. Gem Battlefield]
|
| Steven
|
This place is even bigger and more weapon-y than I remember.
|
| Pearl
|
This was a site of a historic battle. Every weapon here was left by a Gem over 5,000 years ago. I don't like to disturb it, but Garnet said we can't just leave these lying around.
|
| (Garnet picks up a giant battle-axe.)
|
| Garnet
|
Never know when you might need one of these.
|
| Steven
|
I need one of those all the time!
|
| Pearl
|
Why don't you look for one that's more... you?
|
| Steven
|
Okay! Lion, come help me look.
|
| (Lion walks away.)
|
| Steven
|
Aw, come on.
|
| Pearl
|
You really need to train that thing better.
|
| Steven
|
Oh, we've been making progress, now he looks at me when I say his name!
|
| (Steven begins to repeatedly call Lion's name, but Lion is digging and ignores him.)
|
| Steven
|
Uh, sometimes...
|
| (Lion's digging reveals a scabbard in the dirt.)
|
| Pearl
|
What's he got now?
|
| (Lion lifts up Rose's Scabbard in his mouth.)
|
| Pearl
|
*gasps* That's the scabbard for Rose's sword!
|
| (Pearl struggles to grab it from his mouth.)
|
| Pearl
|
Gimme! Gimme!
|
| (Pearl takes hold of the Scabbard)
|
| Pearl
|
*waves hand* Shoo, shoo.
|
| Lion
|
*grunts angrily*
|
| Steven
|
Mom fought here?
|
| Pearl
|
That's right! And I fought alongside her.
|
| Amethyst
|
Man, I wish I could've seen it!
|
| Garnet
|
No, you don't. Countless Gems were broken here. It was a maelstrom of destruction and death.
|
| (Pearl jumps in front of Garnet.)
|
| Pearl
|
But we won! Your mother led us to glorious victory! The odds were against us, and our hearts were uncertain. *lays scabbard on her chest dramatically* But we chose to fight alongside Rose, and here we made our stand against our Homeworld!
|
| (The Crystal Gems warp home.)
|
| Amethyst
|
This is great! My room's been needing another pile.
|
| Garnet
|
Amethyst! Help me with this axe.
|
| (Amethyst and Garnet are trying to fit the battle axe in the room and during this scene they are making commotion and talking.)
|
| Pearl
|
It's been ages... *looks at scabbard and blushes*
|
| Amethyst (background)
|
Turn it clockwise! No, your other clockwise!
|
| (Steven looks at Pearl.)
|
| Pearl
|
What is it, Steven?
|
| Steven
|
What was Mom like?
|
| Pearl
|
She was courageous, and brilliant... and beautiful... Sometimes, you look so much like her.
|
| Steven
|
Really...?
|
| Pearl
|
Eh—
|
| Amethyst (background)
|
Yeah, lift it backwards!
|
| Garnet (background)
|
You mean "pull!"
|
| Amethyst (background)
|
Yeah, "pull," sure.
|
| Pearl
|
Hey, Steven... Maybe you should hold onto this... *hands Steven the scabbard*
|
| Steven
|
Woah... Thanks, Pearl. If anything tries to eat me, I'll bop them with this! *swings scabbard*
|
| Pearl
|
That's just the scabbard, Steven. It held your mother's sword. Nothing else could fit so perfectly inside. For all this time it's been... incomplete.
|
| Steven
|
Well, let's complete it. Where's the sword?
|
| (Garnet adjusts the axe from the inside until it fits through the door.)
|
| Amethyst
|
That's it! Yeah, you got it!
|
| (Amethyst goes into her room as the door closes behind her.)
|
| Pearl
|
Can you keep a secret?
|
| Steven
|
A secret?!
|
| Pearl
|
Shh! It's a secret, even to Garnet and Amethyst. Rose had a place that she kept hidden from all but me, but you have her gem. That place is yours now, and I can show it to you!
|
| Steven
|
Uh, okay.
|
| (Steven and Pearl warp.)
|
| Pearl
|
Now it's just a three-hour hike that way, followed by a vertical climb at 90 degrees. Think you can handle it?
|
| [Scene pans to Steven tied on Pearl's back climbing up mountain]
|
| Pearl
|
I was your mother's sole confidant— for the words she could share with no one else, I was there to listen.
|
| Steven
|
Why'd she keep so many secrets?
|
| Pearl
|
*climbing* She had to, Steven! It's the mark of a great leader, knowing just what to keep hidden from everyone you're trying to protect.
|
| Pearl
|
Everyone except me!
|
| (The climb is complete and they are at the top.)
|
| Pearl
|
Welcome to Rose's Secret Armory! *smiles widely*
|
| Steven
|
Woah... I've been here before!
|
| Pearl
|
*smile fades* Wha— ? You must be thinking of someplace else, I'm the only other Crystal Gem that's witnessed the Armory's magnificence before now.
|
| Steven
|
Nuh-uh, Lion showed me.
|
| Pearl
|
The lion?!
|
| Steven
|
Yeah! There's all kinds of great stuff hidden in here.
|
| (Steven activates the pedestal.)
|
| Pearl
|
I know! That's why I brought you here! Now let me show you how you can access the artillery.
|
| Steven
|
That's okay! I can do it without you.
|
| (Steven walks up and presses his hand on the pedestal yelling, "Wham!")
|
| Steven
|
Oh, right!
|
| (Steven pokes cheek and activates the room)
|
| Steven
|
We got some... axes.
|
| Pearl
|
The Axes of Ages?
|
| (Steven pokes his side and activates another part of the room.)
|
| Steven
|
We got spikey chain lady and her metal dealies.
|
| Pearl
|
The Heretic's Anguish?!
|
| Steven
|
We got a...
|
| (Steven pokes his side once more and activates another part of the room.)
|
| Steven
|
Three pack of laser light cannons.
|
| Pearl
|
The Quartizine Trio!
|
| (Steven pokes nose and activates the fourth part of the room.)
|
| Steven
|
And... a whole lot of these armor guys.
|
| Pearl
|
*frustrated* The Armor of the Fallen!
|
| Steven
|
What were we looking for?
|
| Pearl
|
Her sword! Your mother's sword! It's a straight bladed saber that's pink with a red handle. There are vines etched in the guard that connect to a rose-shaped pommel. (She shows Steven a hologram of Rose's Sword.)
|
| Steven
|
Oh, I know where that is.
|
| Pearl
|
Huh?
|
| [Trans. Int. Beach House]
|
| (Steven summons Rose's Sword from Lion.)
|
| Steven
|
Dadadadada... here it is!
|
| Pearl
|
Rose's sword, how did it get in there?
|
| Steven
|
I don't know, but there's a ton of stuff in there, I keep stuff in him too.
|
| (He jumps into Lion and jumps out riding his bike.)
|
| Steven
|
Ta-da!
|
| Pearl
|
But how?
|
| (Pearl tries to enter Lion but he growls at her.)
|
| Pearl
|
Does Lion have something to do with Rose?
|
| Amethyst
|
Oh... of course! THAT'S why he's pink!
|
| Garnet
|
It's a little obvious.
|
| Pearl
|
But... Rose didn't have a lion.
|
| (Steven puts the bike back into Lion.)
|
| Steven
|
It seems like her stuff in there.
|
| Pearl
|
No, Rose didn't have a lion, because if Rose had a lion I would have known about it!
|
| Garnet
|
Rose kept many things secret, even from us.
|
| Pearl
|
But not from me, I was the one she told everything!
|
| Amethyst
|
Yo, you're not the only one who misses her!
|
| Pearl
|
YOU can't understand how I feel, none of you had what we had!
|
| Steven
|
She probably just wanted to protect you, like everyone else.
|
| Pearl
|
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MET HER!!!!
|
| (Pearl slams fist into wall, which causes picture of Rose to fall. Pearl gasps and Garnet catches it. Pearl looks at Steven and then runs off.)
|
| Amethyst
|
Fine, go! Go cry about it!
|
| (Pearl warps out.)
|
| Steven
|
Where did she go?
|
| Amethyst
|
Who cares? I HATE it when she gets like this.
|
| Steven
|
Garnet?
|
| (Garnet doesn't reply, and Steven wipes his tear in his eyes.)
|
| Steven
|
Is she okay?
|
| (Garnet doesn't reply again.)
|
| Steven
|
Well, I am going to find her.
|
| (He turns to Lion.)
|
| Steven
|
Do you know where she went?
|
| (Lion growls in response.)
|
| Steven
|
I'm going to assume that means you do.
|
| (Steven hops on Lion's back.)
|
| Steven
|
Let's go find Pearl!
|
| (Lion opens portal and both teleport from the house.)
|
| Garnet
|
Good luck.
|
| [Back at Gem Battlefield, nighttime]
|
| Steven
|
Pearl?
|
| (Pearl notices Steven and Lion, and runs off.)
|
| Pearl
|
Leave me alone!
|
| (Steven and Lion chase after her. Lion creates a portal to catch up with her.)
|
| Steven
|
Wait for me!
|
| (Pearl runs faster, and jumps on floating chunks of earth.)
|
| Pearl
|
Get that thing away from me!
|
| Steven
|
You better sit this one out, Lion.
|
| (Steven jumps on close chunk of earth.)
|
| Steven
|
Okay, I've had a talk with Lion, he's gonna, uh, chill out here, uh, we're alone now, nice and private.
|
| (Pearl continues to jump higher while Steven struggles to follow.)
|
| Steven
|
Good idea, I'll meet you at the top.
|
| (Steven now at the top chunk.)
|
| Steven
|
This is really hard to do in sandals. Ha, ha.
|
| Pearl
|
Go away!
|
| Steven
|
Pearl! Did I... did I do something wrong? You got to tell me!
|
| (Steven attempts to jump to the largest, highest chunk to get to Pearl but falls when he sees her face.)
|
| Pearl
|
Steven!
|
| (Steven grabs onto a root at the last second and climbs back up.)
|
| Steven
|
Pearl! Pearl, you have to tell me what's wrong.
|
| Pearl
|
Sometimes, you even sound like her... Do you remember this place? Do you have any of her memories? We were right here, over 5,000 years ago.
|
| (Pearl creates a hologram of Rose Quartz, speaking for her.)
|
| Holo-Rose
|
Pearl...
|
| Pearl
|
Yes?
|
| Holo-Rose
|
I'm going to stay and fight for this planet. You don't have to do this with me.
|
| Pearl
|
But I want to!
|
| Holo-Rose
|
I know you do. Please, please understand if we lose, we'll be killed, and if we win, we can never go home.
|
| Pearl
|
But why would I ever want to go home, if you're here?
|
| Holo-Rose
|
*chuckles*
|
| (Holo-Rose offers to hold Pearl's hand.)
|
| Holo-Rose
|
My Pearl.
|
| Pearl
|
You're wonderful...
|
| (Pearl grasps Holo-Rose's hand, with the hologram disappearing soon after.)
|
| Pearl
|
Everything I ever did, I did for her. Now she's gone, but I'm still here. Sometimes, I wonder if she can see me through your eyes. *sighs* What would she think of me now?
|
| (Steven struggles to comprehend her feelings and then hugs Pearl.)
|
| Steven
|
Well... I think you're pretty great.
|
| (Pearl begins to cry.)
|
| (Pearl returns Rose's Sword to Lion. Steven pulls out a hat and does a magic trick for Pearl. Steven jumps into Lion and comes out with Rose's Battle Flag. Pearl, unheard, tells a story to Steven while holding her flag.)
|
| Pearl (unheard)
|
...and out of nowhere, when it seemed impossible, Rose charged in with me by her side!
|
| (Steven and Pearl ride on Lion's back while Pearl holds the flag.)
