"*STEVEN UNIVERSE* Season 04 Episode 11" ""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."
