Peridot: [ Clears throat ]

As it seems I have no other options,

I have conceded to reveal some important information

to you crystal gems.

[ Snaps fingers ]

This... Whoa!

...is the earth.

At the very center of the planet's core

lies the cluster.

Rotate.

This is the cluster -- a massive artificial fusion

composed of millions of gem shards.

It has laid dormant for thousands of years

within this planet's crust.

When this gem activates and takes its form,

the result will be catastrophic.

Now!

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo bwaaahh!

[ All gasp ]

Grah! Grah! Grah! Grah!

What is that?!

It's the cluster.

It does not look like that.

But it is real, and it can activate at any moment!

[ Softly ] Bwaah...

What a cluster.

That abomination must be stopped.

But how?

We'll need to build some sort of machine

to take us to the center of the earth.

It'll have to -- Peridot: Hey!

I wasn't finished speaking.

What we need is to build some sort of machine

to take us to the center of the earth.

It'll need to withstand up to 360 gigapascals of pressure

and temperatures of 9,800 degrees.

Well, we mustn't waste time.

We need to start finding parts for this machine immediately.

Yes, obviously.

We'll start by dismantling all devices inside this dwelling?

Wha?

[ Grunts ] This primitive radiation concentrator

should come in handy!

Nyah!

This primitive vibration transmitter

could possibly serve a function.

[ Panting ] There's a remote chance

something useful could be inside this primitive image cube.

Wait! I have a better idea

that doesn't involve destroying the house.

Classic Steven.

All right.

What we have here in the barn

should be adequate enough for us to get started.

First, I recommend we organize the component types

and assemble a rough blueprint based on what we have available.

[ Sighs ] Sorry, Steven.

It's a lovely drawing, but it won't look like this.

Hmm.

Good. Yes, this is adequate.

Thank you. You can go now.

Uh, what?

Hmm?

Um... That will be all?

[ Claps hands ]

[ Through teeth ] How do you get her to leave?

Excuse me, I am not leaving.

Yeah, she's got to stay and help build the drill thing, right?

No, no. You're confused.

A Pearl can't build a thing like this.

Why not?

Because pearls aren't for this.

They're for standing around a-and looking nice

a-and, uh, holding your stuff for you, right?

That's enough!

If we're going to work together,

you're going to have to listen to me.

Listen to you? [ Laughs ]

Did you teach her to talk like this?

What are you talking about?

She's a Pearl.

She's a made-to-order servant

just like the hundreds of other pearls

being flaunted around back on homeworld.

Wait. There's hundreds of pearls?

Well, yes, bu--

and she looks like a fancy one, too.

Ugh!

Hundreds of pearls.

So, who do you belong to, anyway?

Nobody!

Then what are you for?

Well, you can belong to me for now.

Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl! What would they say back home?

Now, listen here, you little tiny twerp.

In case you've forgotten, you're on our turf now,

and I didn't fight a 1,000-year war

for this planet's independence

to take orders from the likes of you!

Excuse me?

I am natural technician and a certified kindergartner.

I was made for this.

You were made to take orders, not to give them.

Whoa, whoa, hang on, guys!

Now, we can all agree that you're both good at building things,

so, can't you just try listening to each other?

No! No!

I'm as good at building things as you. Better, even!

Ha! Name one thing you could engineer better.

Go on. Robots.

Hmm? Hmm?

You should build robots -- giant robots.

I see a race -- a giant robo-race.

With prizes -- giant robo-prizes.

You mean like a competition?

Yeah, to see who's better at building stuff.

What are these "ro-butts" you speak of?

They're like those funky marble guys you were sending,

only bigger and you can ride them.

[ Imitates robot ]

Ha! Building one of these "ro-butts" will be easy!

Well, I can build one faster!

That's what you think!

[ Laughing ]

[ Drill whirs ] Aah!

[ Clattering ]

Yo, Steven. How are the wonder nerds doing? Wah!

Wh-what's going on? Are they building the drill?

No, we're building robots now.

[ Whirring ] What'd you say?

I said...

Giant robot!

Peridot: Ha! Pathetic.

Now, behold my vision of ultimate power!

[ Laughing evilly ]

[ Gasps ] Hey!

Mine's taller. I win.

Ladies and gentlegems, welcome to the first annual robolympics!

Whoo! Popcorn!

This competition will test our robo-engineers' skills

of robo-construction and robo-piloting.

Whoever wins will get to be in charge

of building the cluster drill machine thing.

Let the games begin!

Wah!

Ugh.

[ Laughs ]

[ Grunting ]

Ohhh!

[ Cuckoo clock chimes ]

Huh?

Huh?

[ Laughing ] Oh!

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

All right, guys. This is the final event!

You got this, p!

Get it, girl!

Hmph!

Ready! Set! Chuck!

[ Straining ] Hyah!

[ Groaning ] Rah!

All: Whoa.

You both get a point on that one.

Hmm. Hmm.

Looks like our final score is...A tie!

Well, that settles it.

You both get to lead the project together!

No! This isn't over!

I demand we have a tiebreaker!

Ugh, let's just give it a rest.

That's it! We tied. We are the same.

Let's move on.

No! You're a Pearl.

You are beneath me!

I'll always be better than you,

and nothing I've seen today will ever change that!

Well, have you ever seen a Pearl do this?

Oof! [ All gasp ]

So, you want to fight?

Good.

We should have done this from the beginning!

[ Grunting, groaning ]

Stop! Giant robots shouldn't fight!

Fight, fight, fight, fight!

[ Groans ] Ha ha ha!

Ugh.

Pearl!

It's all right, guys. I've got this.

Be careful! Kick her in the butt!

[ Both grunting ]

This is pointless!

There's no way you're gonna beat me!

You're an accessory, somebody's shiny toy!

Where do you get off acting like your own gem?

You're just a Pearl!

That's right! I ama Pearl!

[ Gasps ]

Whoo-hoo!

What you're saying may be true,

but it doesn't matter.

I'm still gonna kick your butt!

[ Laughing ] Oh!

[ Chuckling evilly ]

Uh-oh.

[ Grunting ]

All: Pearl!

[ Moans ]

[ Laughing ] Victory is mine!

Now I'm the one in change.

Praise me! Praise me!

Steven: Pearl, are you okay?

I'm all right.

Yeah, p! Oh, that was awesome.

You were hard core!

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah.

Hey! Why aren't you listening to me?

I won! I'm the natural leader here.

She's just a common Pearl!

Steven: You're wrong!

If pearls are really like you say they are,

then Pearl isn't common at all.

She trained herself to fight, she learned how to build things,

and she works hard every day to be greater than she already is!

That's not common. That's amazing!

Come on. Let's clean up this mess.

Amethyst: Pearl [Laughs] you should come wrestling with me.

Pearl: Uh, I don't know.

B-b-but I won!

What about the rules?

Welcome to earth.

[ Birds cawing ]

[ Clears throat ] I have to admit,

it's remarkable that a Pearl such as yourself

could become such a... Knowledgeable technician.

Mm. Why don't we get started?

[ Drill whirs ]

You're holding it upside down.

Yes. Of course.

You know, those round appendages on your machine

could be useful for something.

They're called wheels.

[ Sighs ]

Looks like we're well on our way to stopping the cluster.

"You think you can stop me?"

Aah!

Grah, grah, grah, grah, grah.

Aah! We're doomed!
