Emerald had successfully made it back to Homeworld. The ship had been teleported to a facility that housed similar and different ships. Emerald exited the ship and was greeted by another Gem.
"Greetings Emerald, would you like a-" She began but Emerald pushed her to the side.
"Make sure those Gems are disciplined for their failure!" She commanded her.
"Yes Ma'm." The other Gem replied in fear as she picked up the Gems from the ship.
Emerald made her way to a building that housed several warp pads leading to different parts of Homeworld. She looked around and saw room that above the doorway read: Special Authorization Only. She was confronted by security, only for them to leave as soon as they realized who she was. She stepped on a warp pad that took her directly to where Yellow Diamond was. She warped to Yellow Diamonds throne, and she was approached by several of the elite guards.
"State your purpose." One of them commanded.
"I have news regarding a mission. Now get out of my way." She said as she shoved through to meet with her Queen.
Yellow Diamond sat upon a throne, with several steps leading up to her.
"Emerald, you have returned. I suppose the mission was a success." She asked Emerald. Emerald stopped and bowed to her Monarch.
"I regret to inform you that we did not retrieve the three Gems." She said. Yellow Diamond frowned.
"So tell me why I should keep you alive if you failed me." She gave Emerald the chance to explain herself, and possibly avoid getting her gem cracked.
"Because I have information that is valuable." Emerald said as she looked up at the Queen Gem. This seemed to interest Yellow Diamond regarding any report about Earth. To be honest, Emerald knew from the start that the mission was never about retrieving the Gems that were stranded on Earth, but to simply see how the planet was doing since their abandonment.
"Go on." Yellow Diamond ordered.
"When we got to the original coordinates of where Jasper, Peridot, and Lapis were, we all seperated into three groups of five. With me personally leading one of them. However, the platoon I took was decimated by a single human." Emerald pause to see the reaction on Yellow Diamond. She gave a look of interest at the thought of an organic lifeform being able to take out a Gem. "However, I have reason to believe that they were taken down stealthily, as when I was approached by the one who had done it could hardly touch me in close combat." Emerald waited for any questions Yellow Diamond might have had.
"So in the open it posed no threat?" She asked.
"No, but it did have a modified sword that imitated the use of a Gem destabilizer. It stated that it got the technology from when Peridot's ship crashed on Earth. However, what made me retreat was that the Crystal Gems were still alive." Emerald informed. Yellow Diamond's eyes shot up to Emerald's surprise she quickly stood up..
"Everyone get out NOW!" She demanded as everyone obeyed in fear. "You!" She pointed at Emerald, who had never seen her queen in such a state of panic or anger. "Stay here."
"You better not be lying to me." Yellow Diamond demanded.
"I am not, but there were three Gems. Rose Quartz was nowhere nearby. And they had a quadruped creature that could push me with a roar." She said referring to Lion.
"So then there were only three Gems on that primitive rock planet?" She asked for confirmation.
"Yes." Emerald confirmed. Yellow Diamond pondered.
"We have to destroy them. The Crystal Gems. And retake that planet. It will be mine again." She said with hatred and determination. "Rose Quartz is no longer there and now only humans and few Gems remain." Yellow Diamond looked at Emerald. "Prepare our sector for war." She commanded. "And inform my sisters of this." She said.
"Yes Ma'm." Emerald said and walked out of the throne room.

Back on Earth.

The Gems were all waiting for Thean's 'employer' to arrive at the Beach. When the Gems began to panic, Thean told them to calm down and told them that everything will be explained as soon as soon as his 'employer' got there. Amethyst sighed heavily.
"Where is this guy?! The more we wait here, the more we do nothing." She said in anxiously.
"Amethyst, calm down." Garnet said.
"She's right Garnet, we don't even know what we're up against. There were more this time and if it weren't for Steven bubbling up their Gems Beach City wouldn't have stood a chance." Pearl exclaimed. Steven heard this and looked at Thean who was laying on the sand with his eyes closed. Steven was about to say that Thean helped out a lot, but Thean spoke up first.
"Will you guys be quiet! He'll be here soon. I don't get why you are all worrying about time here. I'm not immortal and you don't see me fussing about it. Just be patient." He said as he stayed in the same position the whole time. "It's gonna be fine." He said stoically. The Gems knew he had a point, for a mortal who could die of age he wasn't worried. Before they could say anything, Steven pointed at a black van.
"Is that him?" He asked. Thean sat up and looked at the van.
"Should be." He said casually and stood up before dusting off any sand he had on his suit. The van stopped a few meters away from them. There as only one man in inside on the drivers seat.
The lights of the van turned off and the man got out. Steven was the first one to immediately recognize the man, but he couldn't say anything because of how shocked him and everyone else was. Everyone except for Thean. Thean approached the man with his hand out. However, instead of shaking hands, both men shook by their forearms.
"Thean." The man said with respect.
"Mayor Dewey." Thean said equally. They both let go of each other's forearms as Bill gestured them to get in the van.
"Ladies, I believe I have some explaining to do."
