"...no. That's not it at all." Pearl replies. Her hologram starts to shift as she speaks. "You see, we are Gems, an alien race that comes from another planet. So, we all - well, most of us - have bodies of light! The only physical thing about us is our gemstones, and as a result, we can blend our bodies together to become bigger, stronger, and faster. Steven, on the other hand, has a completely organic body, but...well, to put a long story short, he's able to fuse with us because his mother was a Gem herself, making him a half-Gem. So, since you're clearly organic, and don't appear to be half-gem...you can't fuse. End of story."

"Hey, what about Connie?" Amethyst points out.

Pearl sighs. "Okay, yes, Connie is able to fuse with Steven despite being completely organic, but we still don't know how she's able to do that! I mean, it's not like Steven can just fuse with anyone-"

"Well, I could try to see if I could fuse with him!" Steven offers. "I mean, if he really wants to know..."

Pearl resists the urge to groan into her jacket. Garnet pats her on the back.

"Uh..." Filia stares at the bodies, and then takes a deep breath, looking further into the castle.

"Are you seriously going in here? Everything about this smells like a trap." Samson comments.

"I'm...just going to try and not look." Filia starts stepping over bodies.

Mista nods, following the two. "Alright...this should be good. We can figure out the stand la-"

And then something gets picked up by the radar.

Well, that was quick.
