Dialogue
|
| [Open Int. Mask Island]
|
| (P.O.V. shot of Steven, as a Watermelon Steven, opening his eyes. The sounds of the island become a little louder.)
|
| (Steven jumps to its feet, surprised by its watermelon feet. At a river, Steven opens his mouth, spitting out a few seeds.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
Bwargh.
|
| (Steven gasps and covers his mouth. He spits out a few more seeds, grunts some more and spins in confusion. He sits down and coughs, mumbling to himself. Barking is heard as Melon Mutt jumps out of a nearby bush. It bounces along the ground, shakes its tail and rolls over to Watermelon Steven. Steven pets the Mutt and follows it across the river into the Watermelon village.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
Huh.
|
| (Two Watermelon Stevens chop into the soil with farming tools. Another picks up a baby Watermelon, and another brings another baby to a cart full of baby Watermelons. The cart's driver cracks a whip with some reins, which gets the watermelon horse to walk. Watermelon chickens make clucking sounds, with a nearby Watermelon Steven wearing a skirt and flowers sweeping the ground.)
|
| Watermelon Steven in skirt
|
Bwah wah.
|
| (Another Watermelon wearing a tie emerges from the hut. The cart driver delivers a baby to the Watermelon, and the baby runs into the left Watermelon's arms. Two more Watermelons play a footbag game, with another playing drums. Two more Watermelons dance together, laughing.)
|
| (Tremors are heard and Steven feels some shaking.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
Huh?
|
| (Birds cry and fly. A Watermelon Steven hits a gong in a continuous rhythm. The Watermelon Stevens gather together by the Baby Melon statue. A Watermelon Steven with a stick shakes its stick, prompting all the villagers to touch their noses. The same Watermelon points its stick at Steven. A group of Watermelon Stevens carries Steven on a wooden chair. The group claps twice and walks away from the cliff.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
Uh?
|
| (The other Watermelons show Steven the pose he is meant to take. Steven takes the pose and Malachite rises out of the water.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
*Screams*
|
| (Malachite roars, her arms and body held back by chains.)
|
| Malachite
|
Steven...
|
| (Malachite opens her mouth and rushes towards Steven. There is a biting sound.)
|
| [Trans. Int. The Barn]
|
| (Steven wakes up, panting.)
|
| Peridot
|
Didn't you feel that?
|
| Amethyst
|
Feel what?
|
| Peridot
|
The ground shook! This could be the start of the emergence of the Cluster. Stage 1: slight tremors every quarter hour. Stage 2: full-scale earthquakes. Stage 3: the Earth is destroyed! We're running out of time. We need to drill right now!
|
| Steven
|
No, it's Malachite!
|
| Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl
|
Malachite?!
|
| Peridot
|
What?
|
| Steven
|
I was on Mask Island. I was in a Watermelon Steven. They have a lovely community, but Malachite, she was there!
|
| (Amethyst coughs out a bite of her sandwich.)
|
| Garnet
|
Lapis Lazuli is losing control. Soon, Jasper will overpower her and Malachite will be loose.
|
| Pearl
|
Who knows what sort of destruction an unstable fusion like Malachite could cause?
|
| Garnet
|
Alright, Gems, Pearl, Amethyst, and I will warp to Mask Island. Steven, it's too dangerous for you. Stay here and watch after the drill with Peridot. Let's go, Gems! To the nearest warp pad!
|
| Amethyst and Pearl
|
To the nearest warp pad!
|
| (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl pant as they run off. After they warp off there is another tremor.)
|
| Peridot
|
So... Lazuli has Jasper trapped in a fusion? You're joking me.
|
| Steven
|
It's true! But Lapis must be getting tired from fighting Jasper for so long.
|
| Peridot
|
Just being on a ship with Jasper made me tired.
|
| (Tremor)
|
| Steven
|
Ah! I gotta help them! But they told me it was too dangerous.
|
| Peridot
|
Why don't you just disobey them? Rebel. Isn't that, like, your guys' thing?
|
| Steven
|
You're right. Oh, I know! I'll fall asleep and go into a Watermelon Steven again. This way, I can help them and be safe at the same time. Eheheheheh. *lies down*
|
| Peridot
|
Wow. You're a real anarchist.
|
| Steven
|
No one can tell me what to do. *snores*
|
| Peridot
|
Wait, what do I do now? Don't just leave me here! *sighs*
|
| [Trans. Int. Mask Island]
|
| (Drums play in the background. The drums stop when a Watermelon Steven convulses and falls to the ground, possessed by Steven. Steven gets up and runs to the beach, where Malachite struggles against her chains.)
|
| Garnet
|
Alright. Let's put an end to this.
|
| (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl dance and fuse, forming Alexandrite.)
|
| Malachite
|
Give up! Argh!
|
| (Malachite breaks her chains.)
|
| Malachite
|
*panting* I'm impressed. You really held out.
|
| Alexandrite
|
Malachite!
|
| Malachite
|
Huh! They're here! *grunts* Ugh, Stop! Pathetic! Don't you see? We've been holding us back for too long. And for what? If we're going to be this thing together, why don't we have some fun?
|
| Alexandrite
|
We don't have to fight! You're outnumbered.
|
| (Malachite raises two water fists.)
|
| Malachite
|
I may be outnumbered, but you're out of your depth! I can't wait to tear you Gems apart!
|
| (Alexandrite roars, and she and Malachite fight. Eventually, Malachite sends Alexandrite to the floor, and Alexandrite's hand breaks a warp pad. Steven runs to a waterfall, where tremors from the battle can be heard. Watermelon Stevens whimper and cry. Melon Mutt comes to Steven's side.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
*Grunts angrily many times, in a way that sounds like giving a speech*
|
| (A Watermelon Steven pumps its stick up and down. Steven and some other Watermelons grunt and pump their fists in rhythm with the stick. More Watermelons join in. They grunt a war cry and march in a line on a path.)
|
| (Malachite pins Alexandrite against cliff.)
|
| Malachite
|
You know, you're right.
|
| (Alexandrite attempts to breath fire, but Malachite punches Alexandrite.)
|
| Malachite
|
There really is something more to this fusion thing. It's not just a cheap trick.
|
| (Malachite throws Alexandrite, and Alexandrite screams before splashing into the ocean.)
|
| Malachite
|
You've really shown me a whole new world of possibilities.
|
| (Alexandrite begins to unfuse, and glows for a moment before stopping and retaining her form.)
|
| Alexandrite
|
Keep it together.
|
| Malachite
|
Allow me to thank you.
|
| (Malachite forms a pair of water hands that close around Alexandrite and freeze.)
|
| Malachite
|
Sorry, but there's only room for one abomination on this measly planet. *Laughs*
|
| (A horn is blown.)
|
| Malachite
|
Huh?
|
| (Watermelon Stevens emerge on to the beach. Steven blows a shell horn. A number of Watermelon Stevens grunt as they clang their spears against Malachite's hands. Others fire arrows from bows into Malachite, who laughs and giggles. Steven blows a shell horn, and several catapults launch stones at Malachite, stopping her laughter. One Watermelon Steven in a skirt makes a war cry as it falls towards Malachite's eye.)
|
| Malachite
|
Huh?
|
| (Watermelon Steven in skirt punches Malachite's eye, with a squishing sound. Malachite trips over a rope and falls to the ground, where more Watermelons punch her. Alexandrite breaks out of the ice hands, breathing heavily, and roars.)
|
| Malachite
|
What is this?! You think you can hold me down?!
|
| (Malachite throws some Watermelon Stevens into the air. The Watermelon Stevens all splat on the ground.)
|
| Malachite
|
Nobody can! Not anymore.
|
| (Malachite prepares to step on Steven and Melon Mutt.)
|
| Alexandrite
|
Hey!
|
| (Sugilite's flail wraps around Malachite and hits her in the face.)
|
| Alexandrite
|
Don't forget about me!
|
| (Alexandrite pulls in Malachite, punches her, and smacks her into the air with Sardonyx's hammer. Malachite rights herself in the air, and she gasps as Alexandrite prepares to shoot her with Opal's bow and arrow.)
|
| Alexandrite
|
You two should spend some time apart.
|
| (Alexandrite fires the arrow, which turns into a shape of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl holding hands before piercing Malachite. Malachite inflates and explodes. Steven and the other Watermelons cheer while Jasper and Lapis fall to the ground after they defused. Alexandrite walks to the beach, with Jasper and Lapis Lazuli in her hands after catching them, and she falls to her knees, groaning before she unfuses. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst land.)
|
| Pearl
|
*pants, then laughs*
|
| Amethyst
|
Eurgh... I'm alive.
|
| (Steven hugs Pearl)
|
| Pearl
|
Steven? Is that you in there?
|
| (Steven nods)
|
| Garnet
|
Thank you. We couldn't have done it without your help.
|
| Amethyst
|
Good job, melon head.
|
| Garnet
|
Thank you. All of you. You are truly brave.
|
| Watermelon Stevens
|
*happy grunts*
|
| Everybody
|
*Laughs*
|
| (Tremor, then an earthquake. Amethyst grabs Lapis while Jasper slides into a fissure after Pearl fails to grab her.)
|
| Watermelon Steven
|
*Grunts*
|
| Melon Mutt
|
*Barks*
|
| Garnet
|
It must be the cluster. Peridot was right. Steven, it's up to you. The warp was destroyed. We won't make it back in time.
|
| (Steven shakes his head)
|
| Garnet
|
Wake up, get Peridot and start drilling. The Earth needs you, Steven. We'll be fine. You can do this. We believe in you.
|
| (Steven nods. Amethyst and Pearl join Garnet.)
|
| Amethyst
|
You got this, dude. You know the drill.
|
| Pearl
|
Be careful, Steven. Watch each other's backs.
|
| Garnet
|
And Steven, we love you.
