(G/n)'s POV
I want nothing to do with the Crystal Gems. Ever. They betrayed me, even after all I did for them. I saved Pearl's life, got poofed by Jasper, I even FUSED with her for Diamonds sake! Wait. That's it. Diamond. Diamond Authority. I need to find Peridot. I'm sick of the Crystal... Clods as she called them? Ruining my life! I'm going to betray them, and see how they like it. I might even be of use, I have PLENTY of information on them. Oh, I'm not worried of Peridot pulling that mind control thing again. I'm most likely resistant to it, since I fought against it for so long. Now, where could she have gone off to? I made a mental checklist of all the possible places she could have gone to. 1) Kindergarten. 2) Mask Island. 3) Not likely, but the Communication hub. 4) Very unlikely, but she's hiding back at the Crystal Gem's hous-- base. I'm calling it a base now. Alright, let's go. To the Kindergarten!

What a HUGE WASTE OF TIME! She wasn't even there! Actually, speaking of time, it's TIME I got to Mask Island.

Another 3 hours later
Geez, how many oceans did I cross to get here? I literally just found it, randomly while running. On top of water. I stopped on the beach, I'm tired. Until I heard rustling in the bushes. I looked up, and there was Steven! No wait... Green Steven? What? I walked up to it. I know, stupid decision, it could summon the Gems at any moment. I looked closer and saw that it wasn't human, it was... Photosynthetic? It's a plant! A sentient plant! Last time I was here plants were only just developing. And that was years ago. Anyways, the thing looked scared as I neared it. "Identify yourself by species and planet of origin." It opened it's mouth, black seeds spitting everywhere. It said "GRAAWWBLE WABBLE BWAH!" "You know what? Never mind." I just kept moving further into the forest. I looked around, losing hope that Peridot was here until I heard a "Log date, 7-01-2." Finally! I've been searching all day! I decided to keep quiet and follow the sound of her squeaky voice and find her before she finds me. I listened to what she was reporting. "... New species on this primitive planet. They seem to be a sub-species of 'Stevens.' Updates will remain constant as new findings are acquired." She tripped on a rock, I let out a snicker. "Whose that?! Show yourself!" Now is my chance. "If I come out, are you going to shoot at me?" "(G/n)?!" She took off running, probably remembering what is did to her last time we met. "Wait, wait! I just want to talk!" "Like I'd talk with you, Crystal Clod!" "I'M NOT WITH THEM ANYMORE!" She stopped. I stopped. "Explain." She pointed her gun at me. "They betrayed me. They poofed me, and put me in a stupid bubble!" "How did you get out?" "Steven let me out." I knew she would probably think this is still a trick so to gems in her trust, I mumbled a "...clod..." Loud enough for her to here. I think it worked, she lowered her gun. She mumbled, "That's my word... Anyways! How do I know this still isn't a trick?" "If it was, wouldn't I have called them out by now?" "Okay. Fair enough." "I am betraying them, seeing how they like it." "I like that plan." "Thank you." "I'll be sure to report your betrayal to Yellow Diamond. You could be of great use to us in destroying those Crystal Clods." "I would be happy to." Well, that was easier that you thought. A little too easy. Nah, you're just getting paranoid. "And by later, I mean now." Oh my gosh no I'm not ready. Before I could say anything, she already opened up her screen thing and started talking. "I have found The (G/n) from the Crystal Gems. They claim to be betraying the group, seeing as how the members betrayed them." She then quickly ended the log. "We need to go to the Homeworld warp. It's our only chance at getting to Homeworld now. But before we do anything, you're going to have to prove your loyalty to the Diamonds."

Third Person POV
Oh, You definitely know how to do that. The Star(s) on your outfit changed to (a) Diamond(s), Yellow Diamond(s) to be exact. You were officially a traitor.

Steven's POV
The gems and I have been searching all day for (G/n). Why did I have to let them out? I could have at least talked to the gems first. None of them will talk to me. Not even Amethyst. Speaking of her, she looks... Emotionless. Pearl has a worried look on her face. She must be scared of what (G/n) could do. Garnet seems to be taking it the worst. I even saw a tear coming out of her left eye. She's scared, I can tell. I'm just worried for (G/n). I don't want them to get hurt.

Peridot's POV
The (G/n) has betrayed the Crystal Gems. I don't know how much I can trust them, but they seem to be on my side for now. They even changed their attire, just to prove their case. I'll be sure to request a redemption from Yellow Diamond. That is, if we can get the warp working. As for now, (G/n) has offered to redeem themselves for their behavior towards me by helping fix my limb enhancers. I declined at first, but after tripping over multiple cloddy rocks, I accepted. We cut down a "tree," and the (G/n) carved the slab of "wood" with their weapon, a (weapon.) After about 30 minutes, they claimed to be done. The shape somewhat roughly resembled what my foot used to look like. Except this one weighed more and was... More angular, to say the least. They attached it by using an earth thing called "sap" that comes from a tree. Apparently, when it dries, it becomes very sticky. I was walking around normally after about 3 hours. After that experience, I think they should be redeemed. Well, it's been almost a day, we need to get to the warp now.

Yeah, I know this one is kind of boring. It's mainly just a filler for the next chapter.
