Steven was in the spirit zone talking to the elephant spirit and gotama about the monkey incident and how Jackie knew about it now

Steven :so you see, I can't keep this away from her anymore

Elephant spirit: it is not your fault Steven, you just didn't know that that would happen

Gotama: but at least we know other animal spirits are out their alive

Steven: yeah, how many were there before the battle with ghidorah?

Elephant: there were many of us, we have our lives to protect the earth. Maybe like the sloth bear, others have survived

Soon something came into his head

Gotama: Steven?

Steven: sorry, just some voice in my head

Elephant spirit: well I feel a darkness, something is coming. We better be prepared for it

Steven: okay

???: Steven? Steven? STEVEN!

Soon Steven woke up and found himself on the theater in drama class

Spam: you alright, you fell asleep when venexa was telling her story

Steven: yeah I'm alright, but I payed attention, nice story venexa

Venexa: about?

Steven: uh....

???:pss

Soon he saw Damian behind the piano doing charades to help him

Soon he did the pose of a scary monster

Steven: about a um, a beast

Soon he made some magical jesters

Steven: a magical beast

Soon Damian nodded and soon he pretended he was underwater

Steven: who lives in the lake down town

Soon Damian posed like he was writhing for something

Steven: who grants wishes!

Soon he moved his hand like he was writing

Steven: of you write it on a piece of paper

Damian: then he made his other hand like it was holding a bottle

Steven: and put it in a bottle

And he acted like he was throwing something

Steven: and throw it in the water it'll come true! Really?

Soon venexa looked at Damian who was caught in the act

Venexa: B for effort

Soon Damian floated over him and scuffled his hair

Damian: it doesn't make much sense to me either kid

Soon he floated away

Jack: still crazy that you and Damian made emends

Damian: believe it cousin, that kid is pretty something

Zill: ya sure you didn't club him with a mallet?

Damian: heard that orangey!

Steven: yeah I'm sure, (turns to the others) is that wish thing true?

Zill: no one knows, the author is the only one who tried it. Why?

Steven: I dunno...

Jack: you thinking of trying it?

Steven: maybe...

Kayla: if it was true, what would you wish for?

Steven: well maybe to help figure out the voice in my head saying to use the spear of Paris or something?

Zill: yeah I dunno about that either

Steven: yeah it sounds stupid out loud

Soon Steven started to walk away

Zill: so what did happen in the spirit zone this time?

Steven: well I was with the animal spirits and the elephant said something would be coming but I guess I'm not sure these days since I just figured out my birth mom shattered somebody

Jack: what does shattering mean?

Steven: well I guess it means if you need to kill a gem you need to shatter the gemstone, and I figured out my mom shattered a member of something called the diamond authority and now that I'm hearing what I just said it's making me even more unsure and I'm just gunna go

Soon it was night and Steven was by the lake in venexas story and soon he had a bottle in his hand and a piece of paper in the other hand and it read his wish, his wish to get to the bottom of the voice in his head, soon his gem turned green and the mantis spirit came out

Mantis spirit: what are you doing this late?

Steven: I guess I just need something to help

Mantis spirit: is it about the strange voice you were hearing?

Steven: how do you know? I haven't been in the spirit zone when I woke up

Mantis spirit: just because your not around doesn't mean we can't hear what your saying when your in the mortal realm

Steven: oh, it's in my head and your in my head literally so you can hear and feel what I do

Mantis spirit: so your going to throw this thing in the lake? very polluting if you ask me

Steven: is this another story from a thousand years ago?

Mantis spirit: back than people had little respect for nature but since this place was founded, the council declared it to respect nature. Seems to me that your violating that law

Steven: the guy who wrote that book did it so why not I?

Mantis spirit: ..... good point, besides, we haven't been around for a thousand years so I guess a lot of things changed since then

Steven then proceeded to put the bottle back in his pocket and the mantis returned to stevens gemstone and Steven walked off. The next morning Steven was still in the spirit world and he started to hear the voice again

Elephant spirit: you alright Steven?

Steven: it's just that voice again

Elephant spirit: well I do feel that force again, but it feels familiar

Steven: like another cursed spirit?

Elephant spirit: maybe, it feels like an old friend
....
Soon Steven woke up to the sound of a loud bellow, soon he got up and tried to find the source and saw something in the valley and saw it was some sort of crocodile

Soon Steven saw something in its eye and noticed it must have been a shard and realized it must have been the cursed spirit the elephant sensed. Soon he went to get his friends and they went to find the crocodile. Soon they found it

Jack: that's one big lizard

Soon the elephant mantis and sloth bear spirits came out and saw the beast for themselves

Mantis spirit: it's the crocodile spirit alright

Steven: well what are you waiting for? Go robot on his butt!

Elephant spirit: we don't have enough energy, but we can still make a bit of damage in these forms

Steven: but you said yourself that you couldn't!

Elephant spirit: I said I couldn't do MUCH, this is different

Soon the trio went to the crocodile and soon they did battle

The crocodile then went after the sloth bear spirit and grabbed him with its jaws and threw it to the mantis. The elephant spirit then charged at the crocodile and pushed it back but its second pear of legs kicked and pushed him with the others, soon it got up and charged back. The mantis soon took flight and clawed at it with its claws but its tough skin made it almost impenetrable. The crocodile then grabbed the mantis by its left claw and threw it to the trees, luckily it just went right through them considering it was a spirit

Jack: uh oh

Venexa: what do we do?

Steven: I don't know!

Soon he felt his gem begin to glow and the voice in his head grew so loud he can clearly hear it

Voice: use the spear of pardolis

Steven: "use the spear of pardolis"? What does that mean?

Soon he felt Gotama in his gem

Gotama: pardolis was one of the worriers of safe haven who controlled one of the mightiest animal spirits. It must be alive and calling to you

Steven: huh?

Gotama: the spear of pardolis is one of the lost animal spirits, it calls to you, you must call it with your heart and it will answer

Steven: okay

Soon he lowered his hands to his gemstone and it began to glow

Steven: spear of pardolis, please come and help us, your friends are in trouble and they and me need your help! Please give us a sign that you will help us now

Soon his gem began to glow orange and soon and orange crystal floated above him and floated to his palms to reveal the animal inside

Steven: a new animal spirit! And it's a giraffe! The spear of pardolis is a giraffe!

Zill: cool!

Steven soon realized what he had to do

Steven: spirit of the giraffe, awaken!

Soon the giraffe crystal began to glow and soon in a flash the giraffe spirit literally leapt out of the crystal

Soon the crocodile beast lunged at the mantis sloth bear and elephant spirits but soon the giraffe swung its neck like a spear and tossed it back

Soon Steven saw what the voice meant,
The giraffes long neck looked like a spear and soon the elephant caught on

Elephant spirit: animal spirits, transform and combine!

Steven: combine?

Soon the spirits transformed and soon they changed into their metallic bodies

The elephant then charged first and soon its tusks raised up and his bottom half of his body and transformed into a pair of legs. The sloth bear then hopped onto him and his ears soon shifted and it became a robot head, the mantis soon joined its legs together and stretched its head to its torso and his arms combined into a single claw, soon the giraffe shifted his legs to its back and its head turned into a spear head and soon the 4 turned into a giant robot

Soon it charged at the crocodile who stood on its third pair of legs and charged at the robot back. Soon it swung its left arm and clawed its right eye, then it lunged its right arm and the spear head his his chest. Soon like a
Harpoon, the spearhead burst to it and it burst into flame, and soon it hit the beast and soon the crocodile began to glow. The beast soon began to transform and returned into its spirit form

Soon the crocodile spirit as well as the giant robot returned to Steven stone and Steven was sharply to see two new spirits return. Later they night, Steven fell fast asleep and soon he entered the spirit zone and the crocodile spirit was the first thing he saw. But soon he noticed that it was in a lake, with a drawn next
To it and some rocks scattered around it and soon Gotama came up to him

Gotama:Quite a sight isn't it?

Steven: yeah, yeah it is! how did this happen?

Gotama: when the crocodile spirit came here, this lake just appeared like magic

Steven: but why?

Gotama: I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that the more spirits that appear, more things like this appear

Steven soon looked at the lake again and soon looked to the white void beyond him and wondered what else would appear along with this in the near or far future
