"Long time no see," Y/n commented as they approached Rose Quartz

"You haven't needed my guidance in a long time," Rose Quartz told, "But now comes a major milestone in your journey... Are you prepared to face to biggest hurdle a human can make for you?"

"Hell yeah, I am," Y/n said

"I must warn you it may be dangerous, these humans are extremely unpredictable," Rose Quartz told

"I'm ready for whatever they throw at me," Y/n said, "He's hurt more than just me and I'll be damned if I'll just sit here and let him hurt even more,"

"Your resolve is strong. It is what will help you win in the end," Rose Quartz told, "Remember the bonds you've made thus far, use them. They surely will help you when the moment comes,"

"I will, Rose. Just watch me," Y/n smirked

"This seems like a bad idea," Pearl worried

"Have any better ideas?" Y/n asked

"Do I... Not at the moment," Pearl stammered

"A bad idea is better than no idea," Y/n commented

"I have to agree with Y/n, here," Captain Turner told, "If we can get cameras and microphones set up all around Beach City, no matter where they go, they'll get the recording,"

"Is that legal?" Pearl asked

"Not necessarily... If the owners of the property agree to it, then it's perfectly legal," Captain Turner said

"I'll call up Mr. Fryman and Mr. Smiley, I'm sure they'll go along with it," Y/n said, "There's already cameras set up at Funland,"

"There was reports they didn't work," Captain Turner said

"I fixed them," Y/n said, "We just need microphones there,"

"I'll work on that," Captain Turner said

"I can set up cameras and stuff at the car wash if I get a little help," Greg told

"How long do we have till your meeting?" Captain Turner saked

"It's ten right now," Y/n checked their phone, "We've got twelve hours. They said I'd get a meet up location twenty minutes before hand,"

"He's really meeting you at ten at night?" Steven frowned, "That's late,"

"He doesn't want to be seen, I guess," Y/n said

"Try to stay in lit areas," Captain Turner told

"I'll try," Y/n nodded, "Want me to start making calls now?"

"In a moment," Captain Turner said, "Have you ever fired a gun before?"

"...Kind of," Y/n said, recalling their past dream

"And how's your aim?" Captain Turner asked

"Perfect," Y/n told, remembering the power Rose Quartz gave them

"Really? I've actually never practiced aim with you, have I?" Pearl frowned

"Let's give your perfect aim a test shot," Captain Turner said

"Are they gonna need a gun or something?" Greg frowned

"Just for protection," Captain Turner said, "I hope to God they won't have to use it, but if it comes between a decision between their own life of PD's... I'd rather Y/n return home safe,"
