"MMMRRPGH!"

At the sound of a sharp, desperate muffled cry, Steven, still wearing his reptile costume, snaps awake, blinking the daze out of his eyes, squinting his eyes to focus his vision.

"MMMMGHRH MMMRPH!!"

With a gasp, his eyes focuse on the sight of Ronaldo, grinning maniacally as he held spinel, who was still in her corrupt gemling disguise, by her scruff with a gloved hand, holding a flashlight in her face as he examined her face. "Wave forms seem typical for a twelfth dimensional alien cub..." he then held her higher, poking her belly with said flashlight. "Shape appears to be... vestigial."

Steven's eyes widened in alarm, watching as she struggled in her rope binds, trying to open her mouth wide enough to rip tape around her muzzle off, succeeding in slapping the tool out of his hand with her tail in her struggles, earning a dark chuckle from the mad fry employee. "And fussy, just as anticipated."

Peedee, who stood behind his brother, recording the events unfolding on a small camcorder, had a concerned look on his face as he watched the examination, fearful eyes flickering between the small pink gem in his brother's grip and the semi-concious snake person chained in the chair.

"U-uh... R-R-Ronaldo?" Peedee uttered nervously. "Are these the monster people you've been hunting?"

"No no, not monster, peedee." Ronaldo corrected, not taking his eyes off the still flailing spinel. "It's a snerson... and an alien behemoth's cub. It's very scientific! But better safe than sorry."

He suddenly hands his younger sibling a potato, much to his understandable confusion. "What's this for?"

"For me! In case my body is either turned into a host vessel for the amphibianoids or turned into a feeding ground for the queen snehemoth."

He glares at spinel in his fist, earning a confused "Mmmrphmmrph?" From the pink gem.

"No!" This is enough to break the young fry boy's nerves and he crumpled against the wall, tearing up.

"Peedee, peedee, peedee! You gotta look at the big picture!" Ronaldo quickly tried to assure his brother, absentmindedly dropping spinel in the process. "Something important is finally happening to me!"

CRAAASH!!

He was interrupted by a massive crash in the lighthouse wall, making Ronaldo swivel around to the offender, gasping at the sight. "Well well well... would ya look at who it is..."

Peedee blinked in disbelief, squinting in as he tried to piece together the large figure in the moonlit darkness.

"Is that... you (name)..?"

You didn't say anything. You merely let a deep, feral growl emanate from your throat, chuffing gruffly through your curling your lip subtly, letting out a puff of smoke, and showing a glimpse of your glowing (color) mouth. Your glowing (color) eyes stared daggers at the blonde kidnapper with a quiet black fury.

Spinel's eyes twinkled, showing much relief. "Mmmgghm!"

Ronaldo let out a sort of mocking laugh as he stood tall. "If it isn't the mother alien herself... peedee! Make sure you capture every movement of this!" He suddenly gets into a challenging sort of stance. "Tonight is the night the queen snerson becomes dethroned!"

Almost instantly after he said this, the other gems run up from behind you, weapons out and ready.

"Hello." Garnet simply greeted. "You're making a big mistake."

"We know you have our Steven! And our spinel!" Pearl exclaimed, looking ready to charge at any moment, but was stopped by Garnet placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Give em up, curly!" Ameythyst snarled, prompting Garnet to place her other hand on her shoulder. "Or (name)'ll rip ya a new one!"

Ronaldo gasps in what appeared to be shock. "You... you and your pack of snake people.... having them hiding like cowards in their false humanoid exteriors just to lower our guards!" He growled. "Steven's got nothing to do with this! It's me you want!"

"And I will free him from your control!" He suddenly tears his shirt open, revealing a ridiculous looking golden breastplate beneath it. "Come at me, queen snehemoth!"

With an feral snarl, you lash your arm at him, easily knocking him back a short distance away and sent him sprawling into the ground.

And much to your surprise (and annoyance), he recovers rather quickly, practically jumping to his feet and charging at you with a battle cry, throwing a punch into your muzzle in retaliation. However, this was equivalent to him punching a brick wall as you stood unfazed by the blow, watching with deadpan disdain as he clutched his hand yelping from the pain he had afflicted upon himself.

He turned his back to you, whining at his sore hand. "YOU SNONSTERS!!!"

SLAP!

Seeing an opportunity, you again lash your arm out at him, smacking the boy upside the head, knocking him onto his hands and knees, and slammed your paw forcibly into his side, knocking him onto his back and pressed your paw into his chest, effortlessly pinning him to the ground, eliciting a cry of pain and fear.

You lowered your head down to his level, a feral snarl rumbling from your jagged, glowing mouth, with wisps of smoke rising out of your nostrils. In a gristle, barely feminine voice, you snarled into his face, "Where are they?"

Even with his injuries, he glared at you defiantly, clasping your wrist in both his hands. "Okay, okay... you've forced me to use my ultimate weapon! Brace yourself, snehemoth! PSYCHIC GHOST POWERS ACTIVE!"

He suddenly starts changing in an odd form of gibberish, making odd hand gestures, which succeeded in making you pause and stare at him in deadpan confusion for only a few seconds before you growled in agitation, having enough of the delusional boy's antics. Your eye's glow increased in intensity as you raised your head with a snarl, barely aware of your free hand clenching into a fist, raising onto the air, aiming for the boy's face.

"(Name), stop! We're okay!"

Something small clapped into your head, prompting you to snap your head up, your eyes widening in surprise at the all too familiar pudgy boy and a small pink gemling with two pigtails standing in front of you.

"Steven? Spinel?"
