"Okay, here's the plan!" Pearl pointed to a holographic drawing. "First, Spinel will distract Jasper here, then Rose and I will attack from the opposite side. After that, Sandstone will launch Ruby and Sapphire into the base from different angles. Finally, we'll rendezvous and fuse, and hopefully, defeat Jasper. Any questions?"

"Oh, oh! I have one!" said Spinel. "How do I distract Jasper?"

"Just do what you usually do,"

"Okay!"

Bismuth raised her hand.

"What happens if Jasper's too much?"

"That's where the rest of you come in," Pearl indicated around the Homeworld base. "You'll all charge the base from different angles. There's no way that Jasper will be able to escape in time. If all else fails, we'll evacuate the base and bombard it with her inside,"

"Alright then," said Rose. "Let's go, Crystal Gems!"

The Crystal Gems cheered and prepared for the raid.

A while later...

Spinel flattened herself out and slipped past the Amethyst guards.

"Okay... distraction, distraction," she looked around. Just then, she noticed a small kitten walking about.

"Hm..." Spinel picked up the little creature. "Hey there, little friend! Wanna help me distract Jasper?"

The kitten mewed.

"Great!" Spinel slipped inside before someone noticed her.

She noticed Jasper pacing the halls. Now's my chance.

"Hi, Jasper!" Spinel jumped out. Jasper yelped.

"A Crystal Gem!" she exclaimed. "Oh, it's you,"

"Yes! Wanna see something cool?" Spinel pulled out the kitten. Jasper's eyes shrank.

"OH MY GOSH! WHAT IS THAT THING?" she immediately backed up against the wall.

"Huh? Are you afraid of cats?" Spinel placed the kitten on the ground.

"N-no," Jasper took a deep breath. The kitten started walking towards her. "AAHH! IT'S GETTING CLOSER!"

Spinel couldn't help but giggle.

"Stay back, stay back!" Jasper nervously took a fighting stance. "You weird Earth freak thing!"

The kitten seemed to shrug and walked off.

"Bye," said Spinel. Jasper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank the Diamonds it's gone."

"Well, see you later!" Spinel flattened herself and slid into a nearby vent.

"Hey!" Jasper fumed. "That little clod tricked me!"

Just then, the other four gems dashed into the room.

"Jasper!" exclaimed Rose. "Your reign of terror ends here!"

"What the... Rose!" Jasper summoned her helmet. "How did you get in here?"

"You'll have bigger worries than that in a moment!"

Spinel popped out of the side of the building.

"Welp, that's my part done. I wonder how they're doing,"

Her question was soon answered by the roof of the base breaking off completely, as a towering fusion burst through. She was extremely tall, with two pairs of muscular arms, a dazzling array of camouflage colors, and jagged blunt armor.

"Woah, Marshite!" said Spinel.

Jasper jumped out of the ruins of the base to face the fusion.

"Seriously? What is it with you guys and... ugh, who am I kidding? "

Jasper leaped at Marshite for a right-hook, but she blocked with two of her arms before returning with a left-uppercut. One of Marshite's hands lit on fire, another became encased in ice.

"You don't scare me!" Jasper ignited her flaming aura and flew straight at Marshite. She roared and blocked with her ice fist, the cold armor shattering as she pushed Jasper away. Then she returned with a flaming punch that knocked Jasper off the building.

"Gah!" Jasper made a crater as she hit the ground. "I'll get you for that!"

"No, you won't!" Spinel wrapped her rubber arms around Jasper, holding her in place.

"Let go of me!" Jasper yelled. Marshite's hands began glowing various colors, before sending a full-blown barrage of punches at Jasper, almost like a machine gun.

"AAAAAAAHG!" Jasper screamed as she took the assault full force. "AAAAAAAAA!"

"Are you enjoying this?" Spinel raised an eyebrow.

Marshite paused to catch her breath.

"What?" said Jasper. "That's crazy, why would I-AAAAAAAAAAGH!" Jasper was poofed in a single strike.

"That was weird," Spinel picked up the gem. "We better get out of here before..."

Suddenly, they heard the sound of jet engines above them. A large hand battlecruiser hovered above the ruins of the base.

"What the... a battlecruiser?" said Marshite. She defused.

"They've never been that big before!" said Garnet.

"Retreat!" said Rose. The five Crystal Gems ran off before they could grab Jasper.

Crystal Palace.

"We almost had her!" Pearl exclaimed, slamming her fist into the table. "If it weren't for that forsaken battlecruiser, we'd be rid of her!"

"I'm getting tired of this war!" Bismuth said over by the sharpening stone. "If only there was some way we could just... end it! You know, find the breaking point and strike it!" Suddenly, Bismuth's eyes lit up. "The breaking point... That's it!" she suddenly said.

Everyone's attention drifted towards Bismuth.

"Oh, sorry for yelling," Bismuth got up and starting walking towards the warp pad. "I'm going down to the forge for a while. I'm working on a project that'll win us the war!"

"Hooray!" said Spinel.

"What do you think, Rose?" said Sapphire, who was sitting on the sofa with Ruby. "I see uncertainty with this project of Bismuth's,"

"Sure, go ahead, Bismuth," said Rose. She lay lost in thought.

"Thank you! You will not regret this!" Bismuth hopped onto the pad.

Rose got up too.

"I think we can call it a day. Let's all get some rest and refresh our minds,"

All the Crystal Gems murmured an agreement and started walking off.

Just as Pearl starting moving to her room, Rose grabbed her by the hand.

"Pearl, I need to discuss something with you in private,"

"Huh? Oh, yes of course Rose!"

Soon, in the moon base

"Okay, so here's the plan," said Rose. She whispered something in Pearl's ear.

"That's... that's crazy! Who knows what the Diamonds will do?"

"Who cares about the Diamonds? It's just us! You, me, Spinel, and all of our friends! That's all that matters! We get through with this, and everything will be great!" Rose shifted back into Pink Diamond for a brief moment. "You trust me, right Pearl?"

"Y-yes! To the ends of the universe and back!"

"Then let's do this!" Pink pulled up a star calendar. "Let's see... once the battle of the ziggurat is done, we'll do it!"

"We will end the war together, Rose," said Pearl. Her cheeks grew warm.

"Thanks for this, Pearl. Thank you for everything,"

I think there's only gonna be around three or four chapters left, just as a note.
