Steven was asleep in his bedroom at night. He was ready to enter Centipeetle's mind. He was inside a black void. Centipeetle was there. He became the size of her eye gem and went into her mind. Inside her mind was a labyrinth of hallways containing her memories. He didn't have time to look at them. He then saw something. Shapes in the darkness emerging. They were green arms made out of acid. They tried to launch themselves at Steven but he summoned his shield and darted away from them. He then saw a large silhouette in the darkness. It was a dark version of Centipeetle in her corrupted form. It's eye gem was glowing white with rays of yellow and blue. Steven spotted a large x shaped tear on it's eye gem. The creature was the embodiment of the tear in the mind. "Steven...you've made it." hissed the creature. "What are you?! Who are you?!" asked Steven. "I'm not real. I'm just the figment of her imagination. The figment of every corrupted gem's imagination. I am the tear inside their minds. I am corruption. I'm not really a sentient being. I'm just a figment of your imagination as well. I am what corrupts the minds of gems. I am what will drive you insane, Steven Universe." said the creature as it disappeared. Steven was shocked by what he had seen. He then heard a voice. "Steven...it's me." said a voice. "Mom?" asked Steven. The silhouette of a long-haired feminine humanoid came out of the darkness. It was "Rose Quartz". Steven couldn't believe what he saw. "Mom? How are you here?" asked Steven. "I'm always with you. I decided to help you in your greatest time of need. Now take my hand." said "Rose Quartz". "You're not real. You're an illusion!" said Steven realizing that "Rose Quartz" wasn't Rose Quartz. "Is that any way to speak to your mother?" asked "Rose Quartz". "You aren't my mother!" said Steven. "Ah but I am. I've been watching you all this time. I must say I am very disappointed in you Steven. You know I'm telling the truth. You've known it all along. After all, you saw me in your thoughts being disappointed when you were fused as Stevonnie. You saw the look of disappointment I had on my face. Now apologize at once, Steven!" said "Rose Quartz". "NO!" yelled Steven. "I'll give you to the count of three. One, two, three!" yelled "Rose Quartz" as she revealed herself to be the embodiment of corruption in disguise. It was the creature Steven saw minutes before. It opened it's eye gem which had a blinding white light with rays of yellow and blue. Steven summoned his shield to block it. He then tossed his shield at the creature, distracting it long enough for him to get on it's back. He then licked his hand and put it on the x shaped tear on it's eye gem. The black void appeared again. Lephty was there. "I'm ready for this!" shouted Steven. *A montage plays of Steven going into Lephty's mind and fighting the corruption creature. Steven overcame every obstacle and illusion that was thrown at him. He licked his hand and placed it on the x shaped tear on it's eye gem. The black void appeared again. Rightphrite appeared. Steven became the size of her eye gem and went into her mind. He fought the corruption creature for the final time and healed the x shaped tear on it's eye gem. The black void appeared again and turned white.* *Scene cuts to Steven waking up in bed.* It was morning and Steven had woken up from a night of battling corruption inside the minds of Centipeetle and her crew. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst were standing over him. "Did it work?" asked Steven. "See for yourself." said Garnet. Steven got out of bed and saw Centipeetle, Lephty, and Rightphrite fully healed. Centipeetle wore a space suit similar to Pearl's. The space suit was black. It had a yellow diamond insignia on it. She wore a cape as well. Her hair was white and messy. "Thank you Steven." said Centipeetle. "No problem Centi or do you prefer Centipeetle or Nephrite?" asked Steven. "Centipeetle's fine by me." said Steven. Lephty and Rightphrite ran to Steven and hugged him. "Thank you for healing us!" cried Lephty and Rightphrite. "You're welcome." said Steven.
