We're here!
Wow!
The great north is
so beautiful in person.
Wait, wait, stay right there!
All right, smile!
Okay, now one
where it looks like
you're looking for a monster!
Okay, now one
like you made a joke!
Okay, now, do one
where the joke's not that funny,
but it's more like a joke
that makes you think.
Okay, I think
that's enough photography.
But it's Connie's first mission!
Her parents asked me
to take lots of pictures.
Uh...
Thank you so much for letting me
come on this mission, Pearl.
It's such an honor
to work alongside you.
Well, Connie,
your sword-fighting skills
have far exceeded
my expectations.
And, with my careful
supervision, of course,
I'm confident
that you can handle
a simple gem-recovery mission
like this.
Thank you so much!
I promise I won't
let you down, ma'am!
Connie's first mission!
Recap the mission
for us, Connie.
Garnet sensed some corrupted
gem activity in these woods.
It is our job to locate it,
destabilize its form
and bubble it.
Very good.
Now, your human bodies
aren't designed
to last in this cold,
so we'll have to be
extra careful.
That's okay.
I've got this backpack filled
with everything we need
to survive in the wilderness.
And I brought board games
in case we get bored.
Ah, yes.
Very good.
So, how will we know if
this corrupted gem is nearby?
That's how!
Here it comes!
Remember, you work together!
Ready, Connie?
Ready, Steven!
Two of them?!
Steven, bubble!
Bubble power!
They... ran away?
There weren't
supposed to be two.
Oh, oh...
I have an idea!
We could split up!
You can go after
one of them, Pearl,
and Steven and I will go after
the other one.
Connie, you are my pupil,
so I know your combat skills
are excellent.
But I'm afraid
this is too risky.
You've never been
in a real fight before.
Well, that's not true.
Connie defeated those
gem experiments at the hospital.
But...
And look!
I brought
these walkie-talkies
so we can talk to each other
in case something happens!
But...
And I've read this book front
to back, at least 20 times!
Well, all right.
But as soon as you find the
monster, contact me immediately.
I don't want you
fighting this thing alone.
One more time,
what are you looking for?
A monster.
What do you do when you find it?
Call you.
And who's your favorite gem?
Pearl!
Why, thank you!
Now, be safe!
Yes, ma'am!
♪
All we have to do
is follow these tracks.
Yeah.
These are fresh.
We trail it
until it stops to rest.
Wow, Connie,
you're a wilderness expert.
Well, I like to be prepared.
When civilization collapses
and this world ends,
I need to be ready
to build the new one.
Yeah, I guess
if homeworld invades Earth,
things could get
pretty crazy for humanity.
Forget gems.
Humans are already starting
their own demise!
Peak oil, Steven!
How do we handle
terminal decline
without alternate
energy sources?!
How are you two doing?
Are you hungry?
Remember,
you humans need to eat!
Yes, ma'am!
Luckily, I packed plenty
of survival fuel.
Time to get our protein on!
Good thing this snow is here...
it makes following tracks
a lot easier.
I'll say!
So, these corrupted gems are
like wild animals.
Just a bundle
of fight or flight reflexes
and survival instincts.
Well, they're like that now,
but before they were different.
They used to be normal gems like
Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet.
They had thoughts
and feelings, friends...
I don't really know
how the corruption works.
It's like they're sick.
They don't remember
who they used to be.
Maybe they don't even know
how to look
like themselves anymore.
Whoa.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
Oh, I know what'll cheer me up!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! Oof!
Steven, Connie?
I'm not having any luck
finding this monster.
We might have to return
to the temple and regroup.
No, no!
We can handle it!
We're making great progress.
We can definitely
take care of this ourselves!
Oh, well,
you sound very confident.
Carry on then,
and remember, Connie...
Stance wide, body lowered.
I've got it, ma'am.
♪ Balance is the key
Need some help there?
Yes, please.
Whoa.
Look at the tracks.
Whoa.
Now, this is a mess.
Some of these prints
look humanoid.
Could pearl have been here?
But Pearl went
the other direction.
Monster... humanoid...
monster.
What could this mean?
We should probably take shelter
from this blizzard.
But first, let's grab
some of these pine needles.
We can brew a vitamin-C-rich tea
with them
so we don't get scurvy.
Like a pirate.
The tea's ready!
Here, try it!
Thanks!
How is it?
It's...
Hmm.
It's bad.
Well, yeah.
It's not about
tasting good, Steven,
it's about surviving
the punishment of nature.
So, why were there
humanoid tracks out there?
They weren't ours,
and they weren't Pearl's.
It couldn't have been
the monster.
Unless it's just some guy
in a monster suit.
But that kind of thing
only happens in cartoons,
usually over a property dispute.
Maybe it is a guy
in a monster costume.
You think so?
I don't mean literally, silly.
What I mean is there might be
a conscious gem
still inside there somewhere.
Is that possible?
What if the monster is
turning back and forth
into its original form.
If it is, it might not be
as corrupted as we think.
There might still be
a chance to save it.
How?
I can't heal gems
that are corrupted...
at least not all the way.
But if it's
half-corrupted...
This way!
Ah!
Ow.
Shh!
It seems scared.
Is it running from us?
What if it's running...
from itself?
Shh!
Keep your voice down!
Hello, you two!
How's it going?
This weather has really taken
a turn for the worse,
and I would hate
to be responsible
for putting you two in danger.
Make sure you bundle up with...
Steven! Turn it off!
I'm trying!
Oh! And, remember,
if you find the monster,
don't make any loud,
startling noises.
Hello?! Anyone there?!
Stupid, slipper mittens.
I'm just going to keep talking
until somebody answers.
Steven!
Wait. Let me try
talking to it.
Hey.
How's it going?
Um, can you hear me?
Are you in there somewhere?
You can control this.
Remember who you used to be.
Steven,
I don't think it's working.
Steven!
Hey!
Over here!
Connie, what are you doing?!
I...
I don't know.
I...wasn't prepared
for this.
Steven, Connie?!
Is this because of
the "favorite gem" thing?
Heh, that was just a joke!
Don't tell garnet.
Connie!
Pearl, we found the monster!
What?!
We need your help!
I'll be right there, Connie!
Who's that?!
B-B-B-B-B-B-Bubble!
Aaah!
Jasper.
Those footprints.
The monsters were running
from her.
Connie, where's the...
Jasper!
Hey, Rose, look what I got.
Are you two okay?
Yeah, we're fine.
Oh, thank goodness.
What a disaster.
I never would have let you
come on this mission
if I knew Jasper would be here.
I'm sorry.
What?
I thought I'd be ready to fight,
but I wasn't.
I failed.
You weren't supposed to fight.
You were supposed to call me,
and you did.
This was a total success.
Connie's first mission!
Connie's first mission!
Group picture.
Steven!
Oh.
Another picture?
Tell me when you...
Eh, got it.
Oh, no.
Are your parents
going to see this?
My parents see
all of my photos, ma'am.
Hmm.
