Bluebird: *seething with anger* How dare that insolent Gem rebel against me!? Who does she think she is?!
Mean Lapis: Honestly, it was only a matter of time. She's always been a bit unhinged, at least based on my experience with her.
Bluebird: *clenching her fists* Grrr! Maybe we went too far with what we taught her! Now she actually believes she's better than me! BETTER THAN ME?! I won't stand for this arrogant little bitch thinking she can insult me and get away with it! She needs a serious reality check!
Mean Lapis: *snickers* You're one to talk.
Bluebird: *blushing* What's that supposed to mean?!
Mean Lapis: Nothing. Forget I said anything.
Bluebird: *huffs* Hmph.
Mean Lapis: Look, let's just let that monster take her down a peg or two. No matter how strong she thinks she is, that thing is far stronger.
Bluebird: Not a bad idea... Actually, we could even consider rejuvenating her again.
Mean Lapis: *raises an eyebrow* After what she just pulled? Are you sure that's the smartest move?
Bluebird: If we do it right this time, then yes… maybe?
Mean Lapis: *rolls her eyes* Ugh, I'd rather not deal with her again.
Meanwhile...
[Obsidian raises their arms, shielding theirself as a relentless barrage of missiles and energy blasts rains down upon them.]
Obsidian: Argh! This never ends!
[Obsidian lets out a mighty roar, and the resulting shockwave sends the Homeworld ships flying back.]
Obsidian: At last...
[Just then, a massive amount of water flows into the area. Obsidian turns around and spots Lapis controlling a giant water clone of herself.]
Obsidian: Lapis!
[Lapis extends her hand, and in an instant, water chains lash out from the clone, shackling Obsidian's limbs and pinning them in place.]
Lapis: *smirking* Let's see what you're really made of!
[Lapis' water clone forms a water bow and arrow, then swiftly fires the arrow straight at Obsidian.]
Obsidian: ...
[The water arrow strikes Obsidian squarely, dealing no damage to them whatsoever.]
Lapis: What the--?!
[Suddenly, the Homeworld ships reappear, and taking advantage of Obsidian's restrained position, they unleash a relentless barrage of energy blasts upon her.]
Obsidian: *gritting her teeth* This could be a problem.
[Obsidian lets out another mighty roar that pushes the Homeworld Ships back and breaks the water chains holding them, destroying Lapis's water clone in the process. She is sent hurling back.]
Lapis: AAAAHHH!
[Lapis steadies herself in mid-air, glaring at Obsidian.]
Lapis: Damn it!
[Lapis raises her hand, and the ground beneath Obsidian begins to tremble.]
Obsidian: ...?!
[A colossal ice spike violently emerges from the ground, aiming to impale Obsidian. However, Obsidian doesn't even flinch as the ice spike shatter into pieces the moment it makes contact with their body.]
Lapis: *stunned* N-No way!
At The Same Time...
[Holly Blue and Spinel arrive at the top of the building where Bluebird and Mean Lapis are watching the battle unfold. Behind them, a squad of Quartz soldiers marches in, led by Jasper.]
Spinel: The hell are you two doing up here?!
Holly Blue Agate: Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it was to find you?! Anyway, we brought reinfor-- *suddenly stops, eyes widening in horror* Holy shit!
[Everyone freezes as they lay eyes on Obsidian, whose imposing presence strikes fear into them.]
Jasper: *staggering back slightly* Wh-what's that thing?!
Bluebird: Steven and four of his lackeys fused into that... thing.
Jasper: What?!
Holly Blue Agate: A five-Gem fusion should be completely unstable! How the hell are they even keeping it together?!
Bluebird: Yeah, I thought so too. But somehow, their synchronization is flawless.
Holly Blue Agate: And despite that, Lazuli thought she could take them on alone?!
Bluebird: Uhh... pretty much.
Spinel: And from the looks of it, she's getting her ass handed to her. Should we, uh… help her out?
Holly Blue Agate: Are you insane?! That monster isn't even flinching at Lazuli's attacks, not even with the ships backing her up! Nothing we do will make any difference!
Simultaneously...
[Obsidian struggles against several water chains wrapped tightly around their body.]
Obsidian: *gritting their teeth* Ngh...!
[The Homeworld Ships waste no time, firing their plasma cannons from every direction. The blasts strike Obsidian hard, yet they barely flinch.]
Obsidian: Enough!
[Obsidian lets out a mighty roar, sending a shockwave that pushes the ships back and easily breaks the chains holding them.]
Lapis: *panting, exhausted* I... I'm no match for this... fucking monster... I can barely hold them for even a second.
[Lapis says, breathing heavily, her arms trembling with the strain.]
Lapis: Still... I refuse to believe they don't have a weak spot!
[The Homeworld ships quickly regroup, launching another volley of missiles at Obsidian.]
Obsidian: I didn't want it to come to this...
[Obsidian dodges the incoming missiles with ease, then leaps high into the air, their eight fists raised.]
Obsidian: But you've left me no choice!
[Obsidian slams her fists down on one of the Homeworld ships, tearing through its hull like paper. The ship spirals down, engulfed in flames, crashing violently into the ground.]
Obsidian: I'm deeply sorry, but this must come to an end now.
[Obsidian then picks up some nearby rubble and hurls it at the remaining Homeworld Ships. Each chunk strikes its mark, sending the ships into a nosedive towards the ground, where they explode upon impact.]
Obsidian: Please forgive me! We'll do whatever it takes to help you all, I swear!
[While Obsidian is distracted, a massive amount of water encircles their entire body. Lapis seizes the moment, encasing Obsidian in an enormous, pressurized water sphere.]
Obsidian: Hm?!
Lapis: There's no way you're invincible! And I'm gonna prove it!
[Lapis holds out her fists, clenching them fiercely.]
Lapis: I'LL CRUSH YOU!!!
[The water sphere begins to shrink, the pressure mounting with every passing second, crushing Obsidian inside.]
Lapis: Let's see how much you can take!
[The water sphere shrinks even faster, Obsidian struggles to withstand the crushing pressure.]
Obsidian: *grunting* Agh! D-Damn it…! This… is intense…! She's really trying to crush me…!
