Earlier, around the time Steven woke up, Peridot, for whatever reason became unconscious during the fall down into the tunnel system. She stirs as she wakes up and as she does, she sees that she is in the grip of Tish, who is busy looking , with her scope out,  at what seems like the idol from earlier, but broken by the looks of it. Tish seems to have yet to notice that Peridot has awoken, Peridot also takes note of the fact that Tish was hovering a couple of inches off the ground, instead of walking. Peridot began to flail about catching Tish completely off guard, causing her to topple about.

"Woah."

"Put me-"

"Settle down."

"No."

"Ahhh."

Finally, Tish lands on her feet, but due to the force from Peridot thrashing about, she is having problems standing and is starts to tumble backwards on the ground, dropping Peridot.

Peridot got to her feet quickly and grabs a rock.

"Stand back, I got a Sedimentary." States Peridot.

She was then met with a weapon pointed at her face.

"And I triple barrel repeating plasma Cannon." Said Tish as leaned on her right elbow while pointing her cannon at Peridot.

"Um, fair argument." Replied Peridot

"When you mean fair do you mean superior." Mocked Tish

Tish got an answer in the form of a rock thrown at her face.

Peridot then spurts off to a gathering of rocks and hid behind them.

"You know, I could have just left you, in that tunnel, behind me." States Tish

"As If I Would Fall For Such An Easy Trick." Yells Peridot.

Just then, all of Tish's finger bits landed in front of her.

"Want me to toss my head as well?" Replied Tish sarcastically.

So reluctantly, Peridot peeked over the rocks to see Tish standing with her figure-less arm enhancers in the air and right behind her was a collapsed tunnel.

"I'll right, you got me, for what reason." Said Peridot.

"Other than the fact that your friends would smash me to dust if they found out that I just left you, your also someone of value." Replied Tish.

"Value?" Said Peridot as Tish proceeded to walk towards her.

"Oooh, Value." Said Peridot as she figured it out.

"Yep, I know who you are." Said Tish

"that being." Replied Peridot in the hopes that Tish has confused her for someone else.

"Peridot Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG." Said Tish as she approached Peridot.

"Rats."

"Yeah, the yellow diamonds kind of points out who you use to work for."

Tish then proceeds to attract her figure bits back to her arm enhancers, like magnets to metal.

"I Really got to get this outfit changed." Said Peridot as she looked down at her outfit.

"That you do, now come on, we have some distance to travel before we find your friends or my next pay day." States Tish.

Peridot rolled her eyes then said

"Whatever you say, Tschermakite."

And proceeds to walk down one of the tunnels behind her.

"it's Tish."

She then jolted to keep to up with Peridot, who surprisingly got a good distance ahead of her.

Meanwhile in another part of the tunnel system.

The white gem, that has yet to be named, has been poofed and  her gem is just laying there. her gem proceeds to stir a little as she reforms. She dusts herself off and feels like she's being watched, she turns around to see Garnet looming over her with her arms crossed.

The white gem blinked then said.

"Hello there, I don't think we were properly introduced, am...Well, who I am doesn't really matter, your Garnet right." 

The white gem then put her hand out in a friendly gesture, Garnet just stood there now looking directly at The white gem.

"Are you waiting for something." Asked The white gem.

"I think it's a little obvious." Replied Garnet.

The white gem rolled her eyes.

"If this is about Tish, she did what she thought right at the time." Stated The white gem.

"Does that include eliminating my friends.?" Rerouted Garnet.

The White gem then pointed her finger at Garnet.

"Don't act like you would not do the same." Claimed The white gem.

"Fair enough."

"Ah, good, now with that out of the way, shall we head off." Said The white gem as she gestures to a wall.

"The way out is that behind that boulder behind me."

"Right, that way out then."

The white gem walked past Garnet, who still stood there, then said:

"just one moment."

The White gem stopped in her tracks.

"(sigh.) What." Asked The white gem.

"What's your name?" Replied Garnet who had turned around.

The white gem then turned around towards garnet and said.

"Quartz."

"Quartz?" said Garnet expecting the Quartz to say the other part of her name.

"just, Quartz." Stated quartz as she stared blankly at Garnet.

"Okay then."

Garnet finally moved forward, summoned one of her gauntlets and proceeds to smash the rock behind of Quartz with one punch. As the rubble cloud cleared up there were a couple of tunnels, garnet was about to lead the way when Quartz stepped in and said with a smile.

"Wait, I got this."

She then sped off at supersonic speed and came back in about a minute with a tiny flame on top of her head

"I think I found the best way out, maybe a problem near the end, but will get to that hurdle when we get to it." Believed Quartz.

Garnet stayed silent as she extended her arm put out the tiny flame out on Quartz's head.

"Not much of a talker are you?" states Quartz.

"Not much for the enjoyment of your own gem are you." Retorts Garnet.

"Touché my blocky friend." Replied Quartz as she points at Garnet.

"Now shall we."

Gestures Quartz down the left tunnel.

Garnet just moved forward and when she was a few feet ahead, Quartz whispered.

"(sigh.) Great another Ruby, just what I need."

"Funny you mention that." Said Garnet looking back at Quarts with some semblance of a smirk.

"Funny how? Funny ha or just funny?" asked Quartz.

Garnet just beaconed with her right hand.

So Quartz just followed.

Meanwhile back with Peridot and Tish.

Tish had been telling Peridot of her lengthy career as a grunt in Yellow diamond's army and years sent abroad as a mercenary, and at the moment, Peridot has been informing Tish about what had happened to her over the past couple of months.

Tish Chuckles at the fact that Peridot called Yellow Diamond a clod right to her face.

"Oh sure it's funny now, but can you imagine what she'll do when she gets here or something that will make me a pile of dust." Said Peridot.

"That's what am chuckling about." Chuckled Tish.

Peridot then frowned.

" Hilarious forgot how great it is to work with you Tschermakites."

"(Groan.) for the tenth time, it's Tish." States Tish.

"Why Tish?"

"Really, did you really, just ask that? You know How many Gem names end with ite, there's Apatite, Marcasite, Moissanite , Tanzanite, Amazonite, Variscite, do you get the picture." States Tish as she swung her arms about.

"Hmm, normally I don't have to deal with a lot of gems that don't have ite in their name." said Peridot.

"(Groan.) Lucky you, along with that annoyance, I had to deal with being confused with ten other Tschermakites." Stated Tish as she proceeds to imitate a snobbish gem.

"Oh sorry Tschermakite Facet-9A2B Cut-9XG, got you confused with Tschermakite Facet-9A3B Cut-8XG, how do you confuse me with her? Am taller than her." Said a rather enraged Tish who was hunched over and clutching at the air.

"Wait, you had those enhancers even when you worked for Yellow Diamond?" asked Peridot.

"Yeah, sort of, it was during around the first time met Quartz, why do you ask?"

"Those Enhancers are meant for larger gems."

"(Chuckles) your definition of large is funny."

"Well, they are."

"Yeah, if you're a Peridot without limb enhancers (laughs.)"

Peridot would have retorted, but the ground shook, they looked behind them and there was a giant round spiky thing came rolling at them and stopped just a couple of feet away from the two, it uncurled up and it looked like an armadillo mixed with a gorilla. It stared at Peridot and Tish for a moment, then roared at the two.

Tish Grabs Peridot by the waist and uses her wings to go faster than the giant armadillo creature.

It curls back into a ball and tries to flatten the two gems.

"Is this necessary." Asks an uncomfortable Peridot.

"Oh sorry I didn't know that you had a death wish."

Peridot groaned and rolled her eyes.

Tish on the other hand, had taken out her scope to investigate up ahead and it did not look good, they were heading straight into a wall and there were no turns coming up.

"uh, problem," said Tish.

"What?" Replies Peridot

"Wall."

"Eep."

"Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think, Think."

"I got an idea if you'd stopping yapping for a moment."

"All ears short stack."

"Put me on your back."

Tish complied by lifting Peridot to her back, she then grabbed a hold of Tish's neck.

"Okay, now get your cannons out and start blasting."

Tish did what Peridot asked while bringing her arms closer to her body, then began firing like a mad woman. Doing so started to form a tunnel, Tish started to narrow her wings closer together, this increased her speed, just as the giant armadillo creature was upon them. They then dove into the hole in the wall and proceeded to go all over.

"Well, Now What Genius." stated Tish.

"Don't you-

Peridot is then interrupted by a mouth full of rocks, she spits them out and finish's her sentence.

-Have a setting on that scope for this kind situation."

"I don't know, you got any insults that aren't clod related?"

After Tish Retorted, she proceeded to cycle through her scope settings, to find one that might lead them out.

Meanwhile with Garnet and Quartz.

They have been talking about there more adventitious adventures with their ludicrous teammates...Well, I say they, but it was more Quartz doing all the talking, Garnet was being herself, answering questions with a nod or a shake of the head and the occasional quick sentence or two. Quartz is just finishing one of her tales.

"And that is Why I always look over my shoulder before talking about jaspers."

Garnet nodded, then asked.

"I got a question if you don't mind me asking."

"Not at all."

"Earlier you seemed tense when I asked about your name, Is there a problem with it?"

"(Groan.) I think the better question is: What isn't the problem with it, I mean there's the whole am I rare or not thing, and then there's the fact that I just don't like being a Quartz, like seriously, there're all sorts of Quartz type gems like Ametrine, Citrine, Hawk's eye, Rose quartz, and Jasper. And somehow am one of five-

Quartz is then interrupted by Garnet who has planted a kiss on her forehead, stopping her in her tracks. Quartz stares off into the distance for a moment, then snaps back to reality to look at Garnet in Confusion.

Garnet herself is just smirking.

Quartz is really confused but just goes with it.

"Um, o-kay?!"

Garnet, still smirking nods.

Quartz then notices that there near the end of the tunnel.

"Oh, were close to the end, race you there." Said Quartz.

Garnet nodded in agreeance.

They both sped off and stayed neck and neck as they ran down the rest of the tunnel. When the two reached the end of the tunnel, Quartz came to a screeching halt as she remembered something. Garnet outran her as she entered the room she noticed that the room is a dead end.

"Is this the problem you mentioned?" asked Garnet.

"uh, yeah." Replied Quartz

"You could have told me."

"Oh, was there another way out that I was not aware."

Garnet would have argued, but it would serve no point at the moment.

"Alright got, any ideas?" asked Garnet

"A couple." Replied Quartz.

Back with Peridot and Tish, who are still busy digging about the mountain.

"How Have You Not Found A Setting yet!?" Yelled Peridot.

"Shut Up and I might!" Stated Tish as by luck, she finally came upon a setting that might help.

"Okay, got something, a corrupt gem, heading straight for it, prep a battle cry."

"A what?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Peridot shrugged and joined in.

I think you know where this is going.

The Giant crab was about to swipe at Perl, Rue, Steve and Q. when out of nowhere came Peridot and Tish riddling the crab and ramming it into a wall.

"Was that Peridot?" asked Pearl.

"Inquiry: And Tish?" also asked Q.

Just then, Amethyst then fell from the air and onto her back, Cee followed, but landed on her feet.

The mole, that everyone forgot about, roars at the six gems in front of it.

Q quickly grabbed Rue, who's still on her head, and drags her over to where everyone else is, as the mole proceeds to rapidly fire its quills at them. Steven managed to get his shield up in time to deflect the large quills. Everyone then got closer to Steven to get better protection out the shield. Pearl then looks over to where Peridot and Tish, they were slightly oblivious to the fact she and everybody were in danger. So she yelled.

"(Ahem.)"

This got the attention of Peridot and Tish. Who turned around to have Pearl yell at them some more.

"Some Help Would Be Nice Right About Now." Yells Perl.

Tish then looks at Peridot, who in turn looks at her. Tish then bubbles the Corrupt gem and sends it off somewhere unknown and says:

"Let's rock." As Tish Gestures with her figures, they then proceeded to turn into dust, Peridot then burst into laughter. Tish frowned

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up itty bitty green and tinny." Said Tish, as she summoned a bubble filled to the brim with spare fingers, she proceeded to pull 12 spare digit bits out of it.

"Alright, now, let's rock."

Tish then proceeds to charge at the mole. But at that very moment, the ground shook, knocking Tish off her feet and made the mole stop its barrage as it to feels the ground shake. Shaking started to speed up, as Tish got up, she noticed that the floor was starting to crack, she scrambled to get off it and this hasty scramble was justified as mere seconds later, as Garnet came bursting through the floor, knocking the mole into the air, Quartz soon followed and did a flying roundhouse kick right into the mole as it descended back onto the ground and got kicked right into a wall causing it to poof while doing so.

"What is that the third time you did the job for me?" stated Tish

Quartz walked over to Tish while Garnet went over to pick the corrupted gem.

"Oh like you care, also, it's the fifth time." Said Quartz as helped Tish up.

"Shut up." Said Tish meekly.

"So."

Quartz and Tish looked behind them to see Peridot walking towards them.

"Your Quartz, heard a lot about you from Tish?" Said Peridot.

Quartz looked to Tish.

"What, nothing bad." Said Tish as she gestured with her hands.

"She's telling the truth, nothing but praise, especially about how well she handles herself in combat." Alleged Peridot Coming to the defense of Tish.

"Woah, let's not go that fa- Tish stopped mid sentence as she realised something.

"Am never going to hear the end of this am I."

"Nope." Said Quartz as she looked back at the Peridot.

"Say isn't this that one Peridot that has the insanely high price on her gem?" Said Quartz.

"Yep." Replied Tish.

"Oh my Diamond, this is the Peridot that the Yellow Diamond said was a menace to our society, (snickers.) But she's so cute."

Peridot frowned.

"Such a high price too." Said Tish.

"Oh please, I know that I would be hunted, but the price for me can't-

Peridot is stopped mid-sentence when Quartz pulls out a PDA of sorts, push's a couple of buttons and shows Peridot the price on her head, and her jaw dropped.

Back when Garnet had picked up the corrupted gem and bubbled it. she asks Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven if there alright and they respond with.

"Am fine, just a little sore." Said Steven.

"So am I, although am probably going to need to do some thinking about how I proceed in conversations with people I barely know." Said Pearl.

"I don't want to talk about." Said Amethyst.

Garnet nods in understanding.

While with Q and Rue, Rue is still on her head.

"Information: Rue, nice to see your still you." Said Q sarcastically.

"Bite me." Replied Rue monotone as ever.

Q would have replied, but then Cee stepped in and glared at the two.

Q rolled her eyes.

"Sorry Rue."

"Sorry Q."

Apologised both Q and Rue. Q then helped Rue

So after they all got into a group, the first question that is asked, both by Tish and Amethyst at the same time.

"Where's the way out?"

"Where's the way out?"

They then looked at each other then went.

"Cool."

"Cool."

"Weird."

"Weird."

"Okay, stop!"

"Okay, stop!"

"Seriously!"

"Seriously!"

They then both thought for a second, then jumped each other, butting heads in the process.

"I think it's kind of obvious." Said Garnet.

"It is?" asked Quartz.

Garnet then tips her head up.

Quartz looks up and goes,

"What?"

Steven notices and also looks.

"Huh."

Then everyone else notices there looking at. It being the way they entered, but a distance up.

"Are you kidding me." Said Amethyst.

"Information: Gem temples are-

Q was stopped mid sentence by Rue.

"Please, not now."

"So we fell down a pit, that had serval other tunnels that-." Pearl attempted to figure out how this could have worked.

"I don't even want to think about how this works." stated Cee.

"Oh, who cares how it works, it's a way out, let's boogie out of here." Said Tish as she prepped to take off.

"Um."

Tish then stopped then looked down to see Steven.

"What?" Asked Tish.

Moments later...

"(Struggling groans.) Great Diamond, what are you humans made out of." Said Tish as she struggles to hold Steven.

"I Don't know; I think-

Steven was then interrupted by Tish.

"Rhetorical Question, Diamond, your worse than Q at times with these questions, no offence chrome dome."

Tish then looked across from where everyone else was, as they were walking up a wall, expect Q who's sitting Rue's head, legs dangling over the top Rue's hair.

"Response: just realise that am going to get you back later." Replied Q.

"Yeah, yeah." went Tish.

"Can you go any slower?" asked Amethyst as an owl hovering around Tish's head.

"Buzz off, you, you...What are you even?!" Stated a confused Tish.

"An owl." Replied Steven.

"I don't even want to know what that is."

"Why, are they like Chickens." Asked Quartz.

"(Groan) how many different species are on this middle of the road rock." Groans Tish

"Will you stop complaing Tish, not like we come her often for you to need to know them anyway." Said an anynoed
