”You all have…unique fighting skills…but no wonder you haven’t defeated the Horde…you are no crack security team,” echoing Glimmer’s description of herself and Bow after they had captured Adora, then a Force Captain for the Horde.

Even though she often didn’t trust strangers when she met them, Lapis’s true personality was extremely laid back, despite what you might believe. Letting out a snort, then a laugh, she joked that their fighting skills would be better on the dance floor than on a battlefield.

Everyone came together and hugged each other. They weren’t enemies. They were potential friends who could work together. After all, if Adora, Glimmer, and Bow could be friends, why couldn’t the Crystal Gems be friends with them and vice versa? Adora and Glimmer were still skeptical of the new visitors but had calmed down. Adora came forward, apologizing for fighting them, blaming her repressed rage and emotional trauma, and asked the Crystal Gems if they could help the princesses defeat the Horde. Each of the Crystal Gems nodded in agreement. Steven showed them his bubble, spiked bubble, and told them of his healing powers through his magic spit. Glimmer grimaced. ”Ew! That’s weird, but disgusting.” More interesting to her than Steven’s magic healing spit was Garnet’s future vision, as she could see the benefit to the Rebellion, while Amethyst, Pearl, Lapis, Peridot, Connie, and Garnet passed at the opportunity to show their abilities, recalling they had already shown what they were made of in the previous scuffle.

Glimmer smiled. ”So…interesting! We should show you the rest of the princesses!”

Peri chuckled, as these princesses were nothing like the gems they had encountered and less powerful than the diamond overlords on Homeworld by leaps and bounds. She told them this much, almost jeering them. ”Princesses? The Diamonds would reduce you all to dust. Maybe the other princesses are more impressive than the three of you.”

Bow ignored this comment as he wasn’t a princess, but Adora and Glimmer, who were princesses, were clearly peeved by this comment. They glowered and continued leading the gems through the castle’s halls. But they didn’t get far. They were soon stopped by Angella. ”What are you doing with these prisoners? You are supposed to be interrogating them!”
