"I don't get this cartoon, man, why don't they just eat that ice cream off the floor? They don't have to cry about it," Amethyst frowned as she, Y/n, and Steven watched Crying Breakfast Friends up in the temple. Before Steven could respond the TV began going static

"Aw, not again. It was doing this yesterday too," Steven frowned

"Do you have cable or satellite?" Y/n asked

"Hang on, I got it," Amethyst told as she stood up and lightly kicked the TV a few times, but it didn't change anything, "How about now?"

"It's never done that before," Steven told as the TV began to vibrate

"Uh oh," Y/n said as a picture of Peridot appeared on the screen, "This can't be good,"

"This is Peridot transmitting on all frequencies from abandoned crystal system colony planet Earth," Peridot spoke from the TV, mixed with Static, "To Yellow Diamond. My mission has been compromised, my escort and informant are gone and I am now stranded! The human you requested to be detained has most likely perished. Please send help! This is Peridot transmitting on all frequencies from..."The video began to repeat

"Heh, she thinks I'm dead," Y/n laughed a bit

"Okay, thanks," Steven said on his phone as he hung up, "Connie says it's on her TV too,"

"But where could Peridot be broadcasting a signal that strong?" Pearl asked as she examined the TV screen intently

"There's only one place," Garnet said

"Oh! Oh! I know where you're talking about!" Y/n jumped up, "Can I do the warp this time?"

"You can't warp, Y/n. You're human," Garnet reminded

"Did Pearl and Amethyst not tell you guys?" Y/n frowned

"Tell us what?" Steven asked

"Oh, that slipped my mind," Pearl laughed nervously, "Yes, Y/n has the capability to use the warp,"

"Impressive," Garnet said, "But this place isn't accessible by the warp pad,"

"Oh... Right," Amethyst scratched the back of her head, "We kind of broke it,"

"We can take Lion!" Steven told

"Can we all fit on Lion?" Y/n frowned

"We can go in Lion's mane! You'll just have to hold your breath," Steven warned

"Pardon?" Y/n tilted their head

-----

"Oh god, that hurt," Y/n gasped for air as Lion landed in front of a large tower after traveling through a portal, "I didn't take a big enough breath,"

"Are you okay?" Steven asked

"Almost," Y/n chuckled breathlessly

"It's as I feared," Garnet said as she looked at the large tower in front of them, a large light beam was shooting to the sky

"It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it," Pearl noted

"So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right?" Steven asked as he turned to Amethyst, " You guys should form Sugilite!"

"Sugi-who?" Y/n frowned

"Amethyst and Garnet's fusion!" Steven told, "She's so cool!"

"Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess," Amethyst smiled widely to Garnet, "What do you say? Shall we mash it up?"
