"I was thinking, maybe we could take the drills off of these injectors to add to our machine." Pearl explained as the crew walked through the Kindergarten.

"Well, then we better get started." Garnet formed her gauntlets when she heard a groaning noise not too far away.

"Did you hear that?" Amethyst asked.

"More gem mutants." Steven speculated.

"Well, we better bubble it now before it gets in the way." Garnet ordered.

"Aye aye, Garnet!" Pearl said obediently.

The five Gems, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Peridot, and Steven walked through the Kindergarten, following the voice.

"We`re getting close." Steven whispered.

They crept around the corner to see something that didn`t look like a gem mutant..it looked like a real Gem, and she was looking around, trying to grasp where she was. The Gem was about the height of Pearl and it had two toned skin, a light pink with dark blue and black veining. She was wearing baggy pants, almost like harem pants, and a cropped top, both of which were dark blue. Her hair was puffy, like Garnet`s or Sapphire`s, and it was in a mohawk, the hair was slightly darker pink than her skin with blue and black streaks running through. She also had a gem on her neck, that was pink mixed with a blue gem.

"You don`t think..That could be a forced fusion?" Steven asked.

"I think it is." Pearl whispered back.

"Well, WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK IT IS?! Peridot said louder than needed. "THERE ARE NO OTHER GEMS ON EARTH!"

The Gem looked at the group with frightened, yet relieved eyes. She tried to stand, but had trouble. Steven, being his usual helpful self, ran to help the Gem to her feet, as the others whisper-yelled, "Steven!"

Steven led the Gem over to the group, the Gem was unstable, with labored breaths and a frightened expression. The other Gems backed away slowly, unsure of what to think.

"Hey, I`m Steven, what`s yours?" Steven asked perkily.

The Gem lurched her head up and looked at everyone, then looked back at Steven, "I...I don`t know."

"She must`ve just emerged, but how peculiar, they weren`t supposed to look like this." Peridot studied the Gem.

"Her name will come to her, give her a few minutes of consciousness, but for now she seems harmless, let`s take her back to the temple. Pearl, you and Peridot will get started on getting these drills. Amethyst, you will also be helping them. Steven and I will handle this...thing." Garnet ordered the team, then her eyes fell on Steven and the new Gem. "Move out."

Everyone got to work as Garnet walked to the warp pad, Steven following behind, acting as a crutch for the struggling Gem.

When the three warped back to the temple, the Gem was standing straight, instead of flopping like a test dummy, she looked lost in thought, but Steven wasn`t sure.

"Rhodonite." The Gem broke the silence.

"What?" Steven and Garnet asked in unison.

"My name is Rhodonite." The Gem showed a light bit of a smile, but her teeth were jarring in appearance, sharp, like some sort of creature.

Steven showed hints of discontent with Rhodonite`s teeth (Without meaning to), so the Gem shied away and wiped the smile off her face.
