PADPARADSCHA everyone! LARS wha PADPARADSCHA a wonderous vision has appeared before me. the twins of rutile will bring one…no…two…strangers to our current place of hiding. RHODONITE we know, padparadscha. your prediction already happened. RUTILE RIGHT they were being chased up on the surface by one of those terrible robonoids. RHODONITE don’t tell me you tried to fight those things. RUTILE LEFT no, no! of course not! these two were about to be scanned when we pulled them under. RUTILE RIGHT we were just in time. FLUORITE let me see. LARS whu—eeahh! uh…ah! FLUORITE they don’t look like gems. RUTILE LEFT that’s what i said! RUTILE RIGHT i said the same thing!

RHODONITE of course you do! you can’t just walk around on the surface like that! you’re off color just like the rest of us! STEVEN what do you mean off color? RUTILE LEFT you know wrong. RUTILE RIGHT not, right RUTILE LEFT flawed STEVEN wait i don’t see anything wrong with you guys. FLUORITE gems like us aren’t needed. padparadscha can only predict things that just happened. PADPARDSCHA here comes fluorite! RHODONITE and a fusion like me, is unforgivable. when my…our morganite found out, let’s just say…we were replaced. but my story’s nothing! i mean, fluorite, how many gems are you now? FLUORITE siix. maybe more if we meet the right gem. RUTILE LEFT and then there’s us! STEVEN you mean, you’re not a fusion? RUTILE RIGHT we’re just a rutile that came out wrong. we survived because all the other rutiles ran away when we emerged. RUTILE LEFT we survived because they were afraid of us. LARS afraid of you? so you’ve been hiding your whole lives. what happens if they find you? RUTILE RIGHT we’ll be… PADPARADSCHA shattered. RUTILE RIGHT oh… RUTILE LEFT no! FLUORITE oh. RHODONITE ah! you were followed! they’re gonna find us! they’re gonna break us! STEVEN this is our fault! if it wasn’t for us, you’d be fine! rutile right we couldn’t just leave you there. RUTILE LEFT we had to do something! LARS steeven….what’re we gonna do? STEVEN everyone hide! PADPARADSCHA careful everyone! we’re about to be found! STEVEN lars! STEVEN it’s okay to be afraid!
