"Adventures in Light Distortion"
Synchronized by srjanapala

This can't be happening.

Steven, you're back.

Hey, Steve-O.

We're so sorry about earlier.

Forget that!

We have to catch up with her!

- What?
- Who?

Blue Diamond.

Blue Diamond?

Oh, oh, on Earth?

Holy smokes!

They're all
coming out of the woodwork.



Amethyst, turn into a chair.

I-I need to sit down.

Steven: She took Dad!

She alien abducted him,
and it's all my fault!

She took Greg?

Our Greg?

What other Greg is there?

How are we gonna get him back?

What does she even want him for?

To eat him?
To put him in a zoo?

Wait.

That might be it.

[ Gasps ]

She's gonna eat him?!

What? No.

But there was a...
No, no.

It couldn't possibly
still exist.

Not since we...

That's right.

Pink Diamond's
insidious human zoo.

What?

During her reign on Earth,

Pink Diamond stole humans
from their families

as trophies of her conquests.

- You got to be kidding.
- Oh, no.

It was very serious.

When I still served...
Homeworld,

I saw it myself.

A private menagerie
deep in space.

Humans in captivity.

We were never able
to rescue them.

We had no way to get to them
after the war.

But that was
over 5,000 years ago.

You really think Greg's there?

Steven, Blue Diamond
wanted him alive?

Yes, yes! She liked him!

I can't think of
anywhere else she'd put him

if she wanted to keep him.

That is if the zoo's
still there.

It's our only chance.

But how are we going
to get there?

With the Roaming Eye.

The Ruby ship?

That's right.

We're going into space,

and we're not coming back
without Greg.

Let's see.

Your pulsar trackers
are tracking pulsars.

The atmosphere shield
seems functional,

but you're not going to need
that in space, obviously.

Garnet: Make sure
it's safe for Steven.

He should be fine,

but I think I should
go in and change

the system preferences
the Rubies set.

How do you feel about
green lights instead of red?

There's no time for that!

If it works,
let's just do it already!

Sorry, Connie,
but we just can't wait.

Dad's in trouble,

and we need to go into space
to get him back.

There's no time.

We're going right now.

Just protect Beach City for me
while we're gone.

Pearl: So, if I input
the coordinates,

it will take us right there?

It's a little more complicated
than that.

These aren't your
era one light kites.

You're gonna be pretty much
bending reality

if you turn on
the gravity engine.

Come to think of it,
I should really change

the Ruby preferences
on that, too.

So what? So it's red!

Come on, come on!
We got to go!

Pearl: Rubies aside,
will it fly?

Short answer, yes.

Amethyst:
Okay, let's go.

Lapis, Peridot, stay here.

You'll have to protect
Beach City

if something happens
while we're gone.

You can count on us.

[ Engine whirs ]

Steven: Don't worry, Dad.

We're on our way.

I hope he got to see
some of this.

There's enough out here

for a whole album
about the cosmos.

[ Loud banging ]
[ Groans ]

Pearl: Oh, oh!

Space turbulence.

[ All groan ]

♪

[ Gasps ]

Sweet moves.

Hold on.

♪

All right, how much further
till we get to...

Aah!

Sorry, Rubies.

We should really
do something about them.

We can pick them up
on the way back.

Dad comes first.

How much longer
till we get there?

Well, at our current speed,

we should be
reaching the human zoo in...

approximately 70 human years.

Just in time for
Greg's 110th anniversary

of being alive.

Pearl, my dad's
not healthy enough

to live that long.

Uh... do you think he'll be able
to make it to 109?

Garnet: Before we left,

Peridot did mention
a gravity engine.

Oh, yeah.
She said it bends reality.

Oh, I'm sure
she was exaggerating.

It probably just alters
the definition of speed

by manipulating space time,

but what effect will that have
on organic matter?

It might flatten Steven's body

- into a pancake of skin and bones.
- Ew.

Bones are gross.

You have bones in your bedroom.

That's different.

Those are my bones.

If being a pancake
means saving my dad,

then bring on the syrup.

Aah!

Garnet: Steven.

Pearl: Steven?
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I-I-I think I just blacked out.

Um, are you guys okay?

- [ Laughs ]
- You tell me.

Uh,no, we're not okay!

Uh, why do you guys
look like that?

The gravity warp seems to be
affecting our bodies.

[ Chuckling ] Please tell me
this lasts forever.

Our bodies are made of light,

and usually they form a mass

dependent on the air pressure

and the level of gravity
in the environment.

But we're in a situation

where the normal laws of physics
don't apply.

Who cares? It's funny.

In what way is this funny?!

So, you guys aren't
doing this on purpose?

Can't you shapeshift back?

Hold on.

Huh, check it out.
Puma cub.

The ship seems to be putting out
some kind of energy,

keeping us in this shape.

Oh, I know the problem.

You do?

Peridot said the ship
was calibrated for Rubies.

It must be making you all
Ruby sized.

[ Beeping ]

Ugh! Why doesn't she ever
tell us anything?

This is why
we don't listen to her.

Maybe I can change the settings.

[ Computer chimes ]

All: Whoa.

Steven: No.

[ Computer chimes ]

All: Aah!

Steven: Nope.

[ Computer chimes ]

[ Bangs ]

Sorry!

This isn't working.

Try adjusting it manually.
[ Laughs ]

Whoa.
Um, maybe this one?

Okay, so that does that.

Maybe this one.

Aah!
Why is this so complicated?

[ Computer beeping ]

Aah!

[ Grunting ]

[ Panting ]

[ Groans ]

Aah!

Hey, Steven.

This is getting a little weird,
even for me.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Computer beeps ]

I think I found the off switch.

[ All grunt ]

Guys! W-What did I do?

[ Warbling ]

Amethyst? Garnet? Peal?

Where are you?

What happened?
Are you cracked?

Amethyst is usually back by now.

[ Computer beeping ]

Oh, no. That's the zoo.

Uh, we're gonna
smash right into it

if we don't slow down.

[ Grunts ]

Come on, Steven.

You can do it.

It's okay.

The gems are gonna be fine.

[ Grunts ]

They got to be fine.

[ Grunts ]

Dad's gonna be fine, too.

It doesn't seem like it
right now,

but later, we're gonna laugh.

If I could just stop the ship.

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Panting ]

It isn't going to stop.

There's no fixing this.

It's all my fault.

I rushed us.

I pushed us
into making stupid mistakes.

[ Cries ]

It didn't have to be this way.

I didn't have to
not listen to Garnet.

I didn't have to go to Korea.

Dad.

[ Whimpers ]

I didn't have to get you taken
away forever by Blue Diamond.

I-I wasn't trying
to be selfish.

I just wanted to know what was
going on for myself for once.

[ Cries ]
But now I lost everyone.

[ Crying ] Dad!

Dad!

I want my dad!

I just want my dad.

[ Grunting ]

Aah!

Aah!

[ Grunts ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Panting ]

[ Gasps ] You're back!

[ All groan ]
Where'd you go?

I was so worried!

Pearl: [ Sighs ]

I think in your attempt
to fix our bodies,

you may have accidentally

shut off the calibration
altogether.

Our light-composed forms
couldn't keep up with a ship

moving faster
than the speed of light.

So you were just lagging
behind the ship this whole time?

Yeah. Don't worry
about it too much.

Amethyst liked it.

I never thought
I could stretch so far.

[ Laughs ] I think I kind of
phased through a planet.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

Uh, yo, Ste-man.

You heard Garnet.

We're totally fine, dude.

I-I was pushing so hard.

I... I just wanted
to get Dad back so much.

I-I almost
wrecked the mission.

This whole thing is my fault.

Steven, you didn't kidnap Greg.

Blue Diamond did.

Whoa.
Do you guys see that?

What you did got us to the zoo.

Yeah?

And only 70 human years
ahead of schedule.

I'll see you really soon, Dad.

I hope.
