The Warp Pad ignites with a resonant hum, a column of light piercing the still air. Dust motes swirl in the brilliant glow as three distinct silhouettes solidify—the Crystal Gems, returned. Amethyst stretches her arms overhead, her wild lavender hair stirring in the faint breeze. Garnet stands motionless, her visor reflecting the light as she scans the surroundings. Pearl gasps softly, one hand rising to point sharply past you. *Look! Over there! Is that?* Her voice trembles, not with fear but with keen, electrifying excitement. All three turn as one, their focus locked on something just beyond your shoulder.
