Chapter 1 Act 1It is a cool autumn day, unlike other days Steven is currently with Onion. Both are in Onion’s room and watching crying breakfast friends much to Onion's disdain. Today Steven promised to entertain the boy, whilst Vidalia is out.“But Spoon I wanted you to hug me one last time.” Steven mimicked the exact words of the show as it was playing on.Onion began to get very antsy, someone knowing and repeating every word next to you gets very… maddening. So promptly onion starts to jump up on the bed frantically.“Onion you really shouldn’t jump so high.” Steven pronounced frantically desperately attempting to stop the boy from jumping.Onion grew higher, and higher as he jumped, no regard for the boy who lies beneath him on the small bed as he jumped on the trampoline increasing his height. Much to Steven's awe, he performs a triple backflip and a split midair, afterward, he promptly miscalculates a jump falling onto Steven and off the bed.“Onion no!” Steven rose from the bed lunging downwards towards the small boy who lies limp on the ground.Steven lifts the boy and closely examines him, gently placing his head onto his lap and propping up his body. Steven brushes his hands over the boy’s supple skin finding no bruises on the back of his head, but for a second, he pauses on Onion's lip there is a large gash. Steven slowly pries the boy’s mouth open and his tooth is loose and bleeding.“Onion, Onion you need to get up.” Steven shook the boy gently hoping for him to wake up. Pleading to whatever creator there is for help. His mouth grew dry and his hands grew shaky.Steven’s face grows cold pale, Onion was unresponsive, and nothing was working, Steven was at his wit's end, he lifted the boy and attempted to cry but no tears flowed, he was too afraid… None of the reality tv show had solutions worked! Then Steven remembered he lifted the boy looking at his wounded mouth and blistered lips, and he kissed the boy as hard as he could hoping to breathe life back into him. Steven’s tongue bit, as he reeled back seeing that onion was fine, he wasn’t dying at all, but his bleeding stopped.“Onion why would you fake being dead,” Steven shouted heavily resembling a ripe summer tomato.The onion was about to do his little sepal as Vidalia walked into the room with bags in hand.“How are my two favorite little men,” Vidalia said as she placed a bag on the ground.Onion promptly took this opportunity to hide behind his mother, a behavior that has never been conducted prior to this. Vidalia looks at Onion shocked at first, though she slowly places her hand on him patting his head.“Steven you must have really sensitized my boy!” Vidalia said somewhat enviously, wishing that she had the ability to make Onion this timid during the day.“Yeah… it’s a gift…” Steven spoke softly staring at onion who stood behind Vidalia.“Anyways it’s time to go Steven, I wouldn’t want you getting you home late.” Vidalia joked as she has heard of Stevens fanciful space endeavors.Vidalia walked Steven outside, Onion nowhere to be seen. She saw him off waving as the sun began to set, Steven gazed backward seeing Onion peering out the window of the second floor. Onion gently places his hand on the glass of the window.

Chapter 1 Act 2The air grows colder as autumn continues, a day has passed since Stevens incident with Onion and he is left lying in bed contemplating badly he handled the situation. His thoughts drift as he starts to fall asleep, night slowly approaches but he is startled awake by the refrigerator door slamming. He blinks rapidly seeing a small boy’s shadow being projected from the light.‘Onion… are you in my house again…” Steven slowly lowers his blanket from himself and walks down his stairs to reach for the light switch when he is stopped.A tall, cold wall blocks the direction his vision is obscured, Steven walks backward only to be hit by another wall. A sound like a gurgle or a growl passes by his ears.“Garnet, Amethyst. Pearl!” Steven shouts into the air, voice quivering in fear.An eerie laugh echoes in the background, as the light is flicked on Steven can see that he is surrounded by a purple wall. Not only that but he also sees a face inside of the wall!“I got you, Steven, you were so scared.” Amethyst laughs as she shape-shifts back into her thick body. As she does Steven breathes a sigh of relief, walking to the couch.“I’m kind of offended though, you always call for garnet first.” Amethyst remarks as she walks to sit along with him.‘Well that’s how the song goes, but I’m happy it’s you I thought it would have been Onion sneaking around again. Steven says this whilst yawning, it’s late and he is tired.“What would Vidalia’s kid be doing out this late, especially with all the rouge walls walking around,” Amethyst remarked fishing for a laugh, Steven is not amused.Suddenly a knock on the door jostled Steven upwards, and to the door. As he opened it his eyes grew wide seeing the fabled Onion. He held his hand in an awkward position, as he stared up at the older boy, he started to show his hand which was cut in multiple ways. Steven took onions hand with a single swift movement.“Onion we need to wash an- “Steven’s worried words were halted as Onion forced Steven outwards onto the patio. Pulling him from his arm with the full weight of his body.“What are you doing you need to go inside and have your hands washed off, what if it gets infec-“ Once again Steven’s sentence is cut short, but this time his mouth is stuffed with the small hand of the boy. Steven keeps his mouth open as to not bite him, but he pulls backward spitting Onions hand out.“Why would you do that Onion! I don’t know where you were, how did you even get cut like that!” Steven shouted at Onion although not as loud as he wished he could, even though nobody is around he didn’t want to alert Amethyst.Onion stood motionless for a second staring at Steven, the wind blew cold on this autumn night. He grabbed Stevens hand, as Steven attempted to resist, he remembered each time he was tricked by Onion. Onion had never hurt anyone or him, and most of the time it’s something important to Onion. So, the older boy followed him, he was led to the lighthouse atop of Stevens house.“What are we doing here Onion?” Steven pondered the actions of the small boy.Suddenly Onion flipped Steven, throwing him onto his back on the grass.“Ouch... that hurts, why would you!”Onion places his hand onto Stevens's mouth once again stopping him, he then lies on the ground looking upwards. The sky filled with brilliant beaming stars, and with his hand Onion traces out constellations for Steven to see. Boats, fish, nets, it was obvious now at least to Steven, Onion was missing his dad. But to Stevens surprise, a commit flew by, and then another there were shooting stars. Onion brings his hand over to Stevens and squeezes firmly, promptly afterward Steven starts to cry.“It’s beautiful onion, I’m happy that you showed me this.” The tears slowly run-down Stevens face and Onion stares at Steven no longer watching the stars fall, but instead wiping away angle tears.

Chapter 1 Act 3It had been two days since Steven had seen Onion, for Steven it was nice to see him more vulnerable. The days passed calmly, and the weekend had come, today Connie and Peedee are coming to visit for a book reading. Steven picked out the book “On an Angles Wings” it was volume 1 if the series, and he was drawn in by its fantasy aspect. Soon a knock on the door could be heard. Steven stood to his feet and answered the door.“Hi, Steven!’ Connie and Peedee spoke in unison, they both spoke in a robotic-like voice.“Hi Connie, Hi Peedee, Hi Onion” Steven greeted each of them as they entered, smiling and waving as each of the three passed when he realized.“Wait what is Onion doing here?” Steven asked with a puzzled face.“We picked up this drifter a few minutes ago.” Peedee chimed in.“Actually, he picked us up I think he was walking here before we came.” Connie rebuttals."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion remarked slickly from the background as he made himself at home building a shelter from whatever he found around.“Yeah what he said!” Steven shouts not knowing what he was saying.This made Onion laugh as he slid into the cabinet of the kitchen, dragging along blankets and pillows with him. With Onion out of the way the discussion swiftly starts, it quickly turns to Peedee’s book “Flight of The Rumble Bee” an epic about civil wars breaking out in a poor nation. The conversation switches to Connie and her interstellar novel based on the adventures of captain J-Cole and his rag-tag group of explorers. Soon it’s Stevens turn, and Onion slowly peaks out of the Cabinet.“This is the last obtainable volume of “On an Angles Wings,” because the next volume is limited edition and sold out everywhere!” Steven waves the books in circles presenting it as a golden crest.“Steven that’s epic, how did you even get a hold of it!” Peedee’s tune chimed like a songbird.Soon the conversation grew dull as Onion thought of the book that Steven had, it was the last edition he could get. Onion had been a bit finicky lately, so he would take this opportunity to make up for it. He knew how to get that book, but he didn’t know if it would be safe…

Chapter 1 Act 4The water of the dock sprayed upon his face, the cold moon kissed air blew gently only to further chill his small and soft body. Onion had only come here on special occasions to watch brawls, he never expected he would participate. As he stood at the gate a shady man allowed him in, he was known, not only that but people wanted him. Tonight, someone would get the chance.“You’re signing up?” Mr. Smiley said at the counter with a nefarious grimace."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion said as he pointed towards the back.“Ok, I’m sorry Onion, we’re all friends here right.” Mr. Smiley wearily stated retracting his prior statement."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion mumbled as he filled out the paperwork.“Well seeing as you’re the apple of everyone’s eyes, let’s set you up with Death Ripper.” Mr. Smiley said cautiously to avoid eye contact.‘And with that, you're signed up! I think we’ll move your match further up as to not waste your time Hehe…” He waved to Onion and watched, as he walked into the dark tunnel.The lights flash on, and the cage around the deepened pit glistened, the crowd roared it was about to begin. Onion walked forward, the crowd silenced gasping in awe that a child would be in a place like this. The other side of the pit stood a man draped in a black cloak, he seemed calm but nobody else could speak as the crowd mumbled towards each other.“Hello and welcome to our 45th match!” An announcer shouted at the top of his breath.“We have a very special treat today, the nefarious Death Ripper will be fighting, Onion!” The announcer seemed to be gleaming with pride, the crowd not so much.“What is a child doing in the pit.” A woman shouted, but immediately after she was shot in the head.“Any more questions!?!?” Silence befell the crowd.“Good, you may begin.” The announcer’s voice took a dark undertone as he watched the match start.The cloaked man pulled a large blade from his back, and Onion pulled a small switchblade.“The last time you were here you beat me with a stick… and took my eye.”"Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion returned the remark.“You son of a bitch!” The man shouts as he runs forward with his blade slicing directly into Onions arm.Onion was caught off guard, he expected him to hesitate at least a little. There was no time to think, the battle had begun. Onion dodged and weaved away from the next few attacks, and sliced deeply into his arm with his small blade, but when he did…“HaHaHa, I got you son of a bitch.” The figure twisted his body allowing the blade to sink into him but also pulling it out of Onions hand.Onion was backed into a corner, no weapon to defend himself with. The shift in weight had left him open for an attack, promptly he was kicked in the ribs, this threw him back to the wall where he took another heavy kick directly.“It’s about time somebody got rid of you.” The cloaked man spoke directly to Onion, he sliced into his arm slowly etching into his flesh. Letters that if completed would spell something horrid on him.For a moment Onion smiled and this calm facial expression shook the man to the core, he stumbled back.“Wha- what did you do to me…” The cloaked man shuddered; he shook his head quickly.“I’ll just need to finish you off now!” His voice raised as he ran back towards the small child leaning on the wall, he kicked him square in his mouth. Three of Onions teeth had fallen out and his mouth, he began to bleed. But suddenly the man's body stopped.“No…”He fell over, Onion stood and grabbed his blade. The boy raised his fist to signify his win, then he gashed out the man’s other eye. This was a win he had done it, Onion turned and walked out of the pit. The poison worked perfectly.It was night, Steven was equipping his pajamas. Pearl had just set away lunch for the next day and returned to her room. Suddenly a knock could be heard on the door. Faint though it was Steven perked up.“Coming!” Steven shouted as he ran over and opened the door.Steven flung open the door, but as he did a book was shoved in his face. The small body that gave him the book seeming limped over to the couch and lied down. Steven analyzed the book and his face lit up.“Onion this is volume two of On an Angles wings!” Steven ran over to Onion showing him the book he had already seen. As he did so he started to analyze Onions facial expression, then the body, then clothing.“Oh my god Onion, what happened!” Steven could see that Onion was bleeding and bruised in multiple areas."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion mumbled.“We need to get you to a hospital!” Steven pulled out his phone only to have Onion slap it out of his hand.“Onion what are you doing!” Steven grew frustrated, he never understood Onion in the first place, but this is ridiculous.Onion pointed to his tongue then Steven, attempting to convey some strange message.‘What do you want Onion!” Steven shouted more flustered than before.Onion moved over to Steven and licked his arm.“You want me to lick…” Realization stuck Steven like flooding water, as he swallowed and took a deep breath in.“Where are you hurt.” Steven’s voice pacified swiftly.Onion lifted his shirt, he had gashes on his stomach and bruises where his ribs were. Steven lowered himself to Onion who was lying on the couch, he extended his tongue and licked Onion slowly."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion Mumbled.Steven continued, hoping he wasn’t hurting Onion. Onion placed his hand onto Stevens's head, as his soft skin is covered in Stevens's cool saliva. Slowly Steven began to adjust to the motion, his head moved in slow motions as he covered Onion’s body. Onion smiled as his pain eased, Steven looked up and saw his missing teeth, as if acting on instinct alone he jumped on the small boy’s body. Furiously he placed his lips onto Onion grinding his tongue onto the roof of his mouth. Onion slowly started to pull down his pants, Steven continued now grabbing onto Onion pulling him closer. Slowly Onion moved Stevens's hands towards his legs. Steven stopped.“Onion w-what are you.” Steven breathing heavily looked downwards towards Onion’s legs seeing there is a large gash between his thighs, Steven gulped.Slowly he lowered his head between Onion’s legs, he sucked on his thighs moving his mouth up and down slurping the soft skin. Steven caught a glance of Onion’s underwear, he slowly moved over, and his nose touched the softest part of Onion’s body. Steven then lifted himself up and assessed the situation. Onion was stripped to his underwear, on Steven’s couch, covered in saliva and staring at Steven waiting. Steven blushed and covered his face as he felt something began to arise in him.“Are you better Onion?” Steven asked sheepishly continuing to cover his face."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion says as he begins to assess the situation as well.“I’m going to call Vidalia and let her know where you are.” Steven picked up his phone and a blanket. He called Vidalia and informed her that Onion is here, she told him to keep a hold of Onion and that she would pick him up early morning, she trusts him. Steven passes the blanket to Onion and tucks him in.The night ends, everyone is tucked in. Steven lies awake contemplating his actions and calming himself.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Chapter 2 Act 1It's morning Onion found himself lying on top of Steven, he remembers that it got cold last night so he crawled into Stevens bed. He never thought he would be directly on top of him, he ponders how he got in this position when Steven turns and wraps his arms around him. Steven is mumbling under his breath and he starts licking Onions face, Onions cheeks grow warm and he looks at Steven. Steven’s sleeping face made Onion feel warm, it’s like he’s not alone and seeing as someone is with him right now that’s true. Onion felt safe, happy, warm and whole, Onion liked Steven a lot; he is the best friend he has ever had. As Onion continued, he started to cry and kiss Steven, he didn’t know why but it felt right. Steven began to rouse from his slumber seeing Onion next to him smile and cry as he kissed him.“Onion a-are you ok?” Steven questioned as he emphasized with Onion."Muh Muh Muh Muh..." Onion said as he attempted to wipe his eyes.“Speaking of, what happened yesterday Onion!” It’s about time he asked, he needed to know if he would figure out what’s going on with Onion.Onion stood to his feet and wobbled as he stepped down from the bed, his back hurt but he would survive. Onion walked down and picked up the book and returned to Steven, as he handed it to him Steven took a few seconds to attempt to understand the jester.“You got this for me?” Steven tilted his head as he responded.Onion nodded and sat in Stevens's lap opening the book and pointing towards the words, and slowly moved his finger and looked back at Steven expectantly. Steven took another second to think before responding, he didn’t want to make any mistakes with Onion anymore.“You want me to read it?” Steven asked.Onion nodded and Steven placed his chin onto Onions head, he then started to read. As he continued after about thirty minutes later, Onion had fallen asleep leaning on Steven. Steven leaned back covering both himself and Onion, Steven thought about what happened to Onion. How did he get hurt so bad? How did he get the book? Steven’s mind drifted, he pulled Onion closer and felt a deep heat beat, at least he was safe. A few minutes later Vidalia knocked on the door and picked up the now drowsy Onion.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Chapter 2 Act 2 It’s been a week… Steven began to grow anxious; his mind has been racing ever since onion left his house last. He doesn’t know how he got hurt, he doesn’t know how he got the book, and he doesn’t know why he wants to see him so much. But today isn’t the day for that, today Steven has fusion training with Connie. “Alright Steven let’s do this; these Pearl bots are going to be a breeze!” Connie was filled with determination and prepared for combat. “Not this time.” Garnet stands to her feet. “Pearl it’s time, for special practice.” Garnets words resonate with Pearl. “Oh Garnet! Are you sure?” Pearls face lights up glee, “There is no better time than this, after all the enemies we face come in all sizes.” Garnet smiles, almost wicked in nature. Pearl flutters towards Garnet Leaping gracefully into her arms, and they dance gracefully together. The fusion dance begins, and a beautiful veil covers the large body. In all her elegance the lovely Sardonyx emerges. “Well fellow readers, isn’t this a surprise! You thought we were gone but were back and better than ever!” Sardonyx flutters her eyes at you. “Who is she talking too Steven?” Connie whispers towards Steven as to not interrupt. “It’s a bit just watch and learn.” “Now I’m not very combat driven, however I do know elegance, and it would be wonderful if you fused right as I swing my hammer towards you!” With a sheer amount of calculation and grace Sardonyx swings her hammer towards Steven and Connie. Connie lunges towards Steven initiating fusion and dodging out of the way gracefully with a roll. “Now viewers, this may seem a bit out of character for me, but I assure you I’m completely in control.” Le wink~ “This doesn’t seem very fair mamas!” Stevonnie rebuttals. “But we need more drama to satisfy the viewers! It can’t all be romance, especially if it’s so slow. ~” Sardonyx bites her bottom lip in distain. “Well how about instead of fighting you push whatever romance a bit more.” Proposed by Steven, now unfused. “Well I can’t force you to like Connie! You’re not even taking the hints, and it’s so hard to watch you blush at each other all day!” Steven blushes at the comment. “See what I mean! But of course, your still so young.” Sardonyx sits and sighs. “I already have a boyfriend.” Connie speaks with a passion unlike any other. “What!” Sardonyx begins to split while shouting. Once more Pearl and Garnet return to the light.

Chapter 2 Act 3
“I understand.” Garnet rises to her feet and gives Connie a thumbs up. “It was wrong for us to assume anything about your relationship status.” “I-I’m sorry Connie, is there any way you can ever forgive me.” Pearl swiftly raises her hand above her mouth covering it and biting her lips.“It’s fine mam, I know where you’re coming from. I mean Steven and I were going to run away and start an apple farm.” Connie chuckles to herself. “Hey, that was your idea! I didn’t even know genetic apple farms existed!” Steven laughs, and everyone around him dose as well. Afterward, practice is concluded.
Connie returns home on lion, and Steven is left lying on his bed(Steven PoV)
Connie already has a boyfriend, I’m happy for her… Now that I think about it who is she dating? It doesn’t matter. Maybe this is a wake-up call… I haven’t been able to have much free time to talk to people lately, with Lars being in space, Lapis running off and the diamonds. At least Sadie is getting her big break. Maybe I do need someone to talk to.
Steven’s mind begins to wander as he thinks about all his friends, his family, the townies. Who could he talk to? It would be better not to sit and worry about it all day. Instead, he should take a walk and, maybe go get a pizza. During Steven’s walk, from the very corner of his eye, he sees a figure dart away swiftly. He’s on the boardwalk so it could have been anyone however, this person was particularly small. Steven unknowingly smiles and begins to follow the figure; he breaks into the small sprint before losing track of the person. Then Steven had an idea, and he changed his route it wouldn’t be far to get to Vidalia’s house. All the while when walking whistling a happy tune. “Hey Steven, what brings you here?” The lustrous mother of two opens the door, she is wearing her classic robe and flip-flop combo, but she is smelling especially sweet today. “Hi, Vidalia! I’m here to see Onion.” Steven smiles gleefully in response. “Well, he should be in his room right now.” A simple response, to a simple question. However, every time Steven has been in Onions room, he has either had a horrifically grotesque experience or a great bonding moment hopefully it’s the ladder this time. Steven begins to climb the stairs his heart beating ever faster with each step, as he reaches for the knob, he gulps prepared to see anything but as he greets the room, he finds nothing. Nobody is in the room; he looks around for a while Onion isn’t here. For a while, he contemplates the room looking around, and his attention turns to the opened secret room door. The light is on. Steven crawls in, nobody’s there but the chest is open, he gazes inside only to find a disturbing amount of scribbles drawings, diagrams on how to hurt to cut flesh, drawings of Steven’s healing and heart shapes where they shouldn’t be. The images were dark and scary to think about, who would want to do this, getting hurt just to be healed, then the door closed and Onion stood in front of it blocking the way out.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Chapter 2 Act 4 “Onion, why would you draw this.” Steven lifts the papers, hands trembling at the sheer thought of what Onion was possibly planning for the weeks that they were apart. Onion walked closer, as he doses Steven crawled backward unknowingly pinning himself against the wall. Onion continues forwards with his hands behind his back, Steven’s face grows red as he raises his voice. Now almost demanding an answer.“Onion, tell me why you're drawing this!” Steven lifted the paper once more only to be answered with silence. Onion walked ever closer and began to lift his hands from his back. Steven flinched nothing he could be pulling from his back could be good, and he was right Onion pulled out a knife. Steven closed his eyes in anticipation of what was to come but nothing did, when he opened his eyes Onion had a letter in his hands and the knife angled for Steven to grab.“A-a letter?” Steven grabs the letter and opens it without the knife, as he reads it his face grows more puzzled. The letter is signed at the bottom by suitcase Sam then crossed out and resigned with scribbles. Steven could do nothing but cry, then laugh, then go quiet completely. He had received such a heartfelt love letter, could Onion even write something like this. Well, he didn’t write it but, the letter detailed so many shared moments how he felt and what he wanted to say. Onion, is so much younger than Steven but this was far past his age, maybe suitcase Sam was very literate, but the writing conveyed every emotion to the T. Steven understood so much more now, slowly he stood to his feet and walked to Onion whose hands were again behind his back as he fiddled with his knife watching in anticipation. Then Steven scared him, he grabbed the knife and bubbled it away, he grabbed Onion and pulled him to his chest with his mind made up he firmly placed his lips on the younger boy’s. Like a lion catching his prey, his grip was inescapable, soon he sucked the soft lips presented before him almost like soft ice cream in his mouth. Steven continues for some time until he tires, but Onion, Onion wanted more.Steven was far too naïve, all he wanted was a kiss but Onion, Onion wanted more. When Steven pulled away his face was cherry red, he was panting for air, a satisfied look smeared on his face. Onion pulling back from the embrace startles Steven.“O-Onion, where are you going?” Steven’s voice trembled; did he make a mistake.“Muh muh muh muh muh.” Onion swiftly lowered himself towards Steven’s pelvis. He fiddled with his pants.“Onion wha- are you doing?” Steven’s voice became stagnant, he felt heat rise from within him.Onion unbuttons his pants, slowly he begins to pull them downwards and off Steven, who now sit in wait for what happens next. Onion removes his pants completely, only Steven’s underwear block Onion from the thick impression of Steven’s penis. Gradually Onion pulls off his clothes leaving himself completely naked in front of the older boy.“Onion, please what are we going to do.” Steven catching his breath as he begins to cool down, now more conscious of his choices and where he’s positioned.Onion slowly pulls down Steven’s underwear, exposing the supple flush pink flesh below, his skin is soft to the touch as Onion draws his fingers down Steven’s thighs closer to his penis. After mapping out his prey Onion placed his small hands onto Steven’s penis slowly peeling back his foreskin for the first time. Steven yelped, he had never done this, and the sensation made him shudder. Onion was fast with his hands, he worked the tip swiftly using his thumbs to tease the tip with soft circular motions, Steven’s mouth becomes ajar as he drools, panting like an animal. Abruptly Onion stops and, looks up at Steven who now seemed more distressed than pleased.“Onion, why did you- “Steven is cut off as Onion pushes his hand into his mouth then, removes it.“Onion, what was that for?” Steven could only finish his thought before Onion began the preparation. The younger boy pushed three fingers into Steven leaving him breathless. Onion twisted and prepared him the best he could, he had known Steven would have never planned for this. When he removed his hand, Steven looked at him with pleading eyes, Onion was still small, but he pressed his penis against Steven’s entrance. Slowly Onion pushes forwards, almost instantly Steven’s head jerks back, his breathing stiffens, at every small thrust Onion makes his body reacts tenfold. Onion soon realizes how sensitive Steven’s insides are, taking advantage of it he pulls Steven forward sitting him on his penis. Steven feels disgruntled having to do most of the work now, but that wouldn’t stop him he rhythmically moving up and down working Onion's small shaft. Soon Steven felt a large build-up in him, he grunted and moaned as he slid down the younger boys’ shaft then released himself spraying white fluid on Onion. Onion was waiting for this moment however, he pushed Steven down onto his back and began to thrust into him amidst his orgasm. Each thrust made by the smaller boy left Steven gasping for air, until he made one last thrust pushing into him as far as he could, filling him with a clear fluid. Onion still inside him, drops onto Steven’s back mixing their sweat. The two boys laid in that position for some time, Steven catching his breath and Onion plugging his insides. Now and then Onion would push deeper into Steven making sure he stays plugged up as well as seeing if he was prepared to go again, eventually, Steven pushes back. Onion pulls out of Steven allowing the semi-clear fluid to flow out of him then back in prepared to fill him once more until they hear a voice call from below.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Chapter 2 Act 5 Coming up the stairs the sound of footsteps echoed through the boys’ heads. Steven scampered around the room searching for his clothes. “Onion, where are my pants!” Steven continued his scramble becoming more frantic as time passes while onion opens the secret door. ‘Wait, Onion!” Steven nearly screeches as he finds his pants, pulling them on and rushing to get his shirt on. “Boys, what’s going on up here?” Vidalia opens the door, only to see Steven throwing himself onto the trampoline. “Oh, that’s why it’s so loud up here! I was thinking you two were roughhousing.” Vidalia chuckled, then patted Steven on the head. ‘You must have worked up a sweat bouncing on that trampoline!” Vidalia then turns to onion after her remark. “Yeah… It’s a real workout.” Steven's eyes pass over to the fully dressed, clean, and sparkling child reaching for his mothers’ arms. This only baffled him further. “Steven do you want to stay for dinner?” Vidalia strains herself as she picks up the young boy. “Umm, sure!” “Alright, come on Steven the food is almost ready downstairs.” Onion leaps from Vidalia’s arms, running down the stairs before anyone can catch up with him.Just as it was when he entered, he felt his heartbeat faster as he walked down the stairs. He had only eaten with Onion once and he was heavily disturbed. But while he was walking down, he found himself walking faster, leaping down the last ten stairs and floating down before landing and running to the kitchen. Everything had changed, nothing mattered anymore Steven liked Onion, he wanted to be with Onion but when he saw Onion with a chair pulled out for him his heart fluttered. “Onion, what’s this?” Steven walked closer and the table had a cloth on it, the table was set, the food was placed. Onion ushered Steven closer to the chair beckoning him to sit, Steven did as told, and was pushed up to the table. He felt like a king, it made him shake in his chair, but when he did, he realized that his underwear was gone. He gave Onion a questioning look, wondering if this was planned.“Oh my gosh, you little troublemaker! You set the table and laid out the food.” Vidalia spoke so proudly; her face was gleaming.Steven placed his hand on his cheek, he felt as if rose-tinted glasses were placed on him.“Yeah, Onion is pretty… cool.” Steven spoke slowly, nothing to interrupt him. Vidalia’s head tilts, she places her hand on her chin. “You’re growing fond of my little troublemaker eh, you know if you want, I can teach you the language,” Vidalia speaks very nonchalantly, taking her seat at the table. “Muh Muh Muh!” Onion shouted abruptly. “Come on Onion, when your summer friends are gone who do you cling to?” Vidalia raises a strong point, Steven smiles and takes a mental note for later. “Muh Muh Muh.” “You do raise a point; you can be friends without words.” Vidalia turns back to Steven. “If you ever want to learn I’m here, I won’t impose.” Steven didn’t know why but onion didn’t want him to understand what he was saying, but for now, he accepted this. Everything was fine so he nodded his head and sat to eat. When Steven finished his meal and talk with everyone, he thanked Vidalia and left. “Wait…” As Steven walked out of the house, he felt liquid drip down his thigh. ‘Onion!” Steven shouted up towards the window. Soon onion opened the window swinging a pair of tidy whiteys on his finger. “Onion… can I please have my underwear back.” Steven’s face completely flushed, he stood holding both his hands together, pleading with his eyes. Onion threw down a pair of small underwear, these weren’t Stevens, but Steven knew he wouldn’t get them back, so he picked up this pair, which turned out to be Onions watch he tucks away in his pockets and then runs back to the temple.

Chapter 3 Act 1 (After the events of a single pale rose.)Steven and Onion had been dating in secret for about two months, Steven wasn’t the best at keeping everything secret, but Onion covered all bases. Steven had known that Onion was a deviant but ever since last summer he had become much more mellow. Seeing Onion sneak around made him feel safe. [Onion PoV] Onion had kissed Steven sixty-three times in public unnoticed, too many times to count in private, he holds his hand everywhere they go, nobody expects anything. They all think it’s “Cute,” but Onion knows what he’s doing, Suitcase Sam is the only one who knows about the Onion’s endeavors, but he wouldn’t be talking anytime soon, the only person he suspected of knowing that remains is Mr. Smiley. Stevens’ gone through too much… Onion had planned something to make him feel better, but he would need to assure nothing would stop him. While Steven walked through the boardwalk, he let go of his hand much to Stevens’ dismay.“Onion, where are you going?” Steven reached out to grab Onion’s hand.“Mu mu muh mu muh.” Silently he mumbled, pointing towards the porta-potty.“Oh… Sorry Onion.” Steven sheepishly walked towards Peedee, slowly gaining his confidence back as he begins to demand the bits.Onion knew what to do, he hid in the porta-potty for three minutes, slowly using his knife to open a hole large enough for his body to push past. He crawled through the hole successfully escaping, he only had about seven minutes before Steven would come looking for him. So, he began to run as fast as he can passing the boardwalk and getting to Funland, the air was foul, he could smell it, the cologne of a sad middle-aged man.“Oh? You’re approaching me?” A slick grin slides on the large man’s face.“You’re not running away? You’re coming right at me. Even with the evidence, I have of you trying to burn down Funland?” Mr. Smiley takes a step away from his stand.Onion clenches his fist and walks forwards. Placing his hand in his back pocket, he begins to pull an item from his pocket. “Mu Muhu mu mah.” Onion pulled a sealed letter from his back pocket and handed it to Mr. Smiley.“Oh! What’s this?” Mr. Smiley opened the letter and read it over. Then he laughed, he took a firm grasp of the paper and ripped it apart.“You expect me to allow you even one minute in my park alone, let alone a night!” Mr. Smiley drops the shredded paper on the ground.“That is unless…. You chose to fight for it.” Mr. Smiley’s shadow looms over the boy, Onion walks off. While walking back he could see Steven waiting anxiously, he noticed him looking around, so Onion chose to take advantage of this situation. He ran forwards quietly and hopped on the bigger boys back, Steven wasn’t prepared for this however and summoned his bubble around him. Quickly in Stevens’ confusion Onion decided to lay as many kisses on him as he could, he let go and sat down when Steven removed the bubble.“Onion! You scared me!” Steven grabs Onion from his seat and sets him in his lap, then places his chin on Onions head.“You were gone for so long~ I had the time to get pizza, doughnuts and I ate all the bits.” Steven begins to ramble on. Onion grabs a piece of pizza and throws it onto the floor.“Onion! When are you going to stop throwing food away?” Steven whined for a few seconds, knowing he wouldn’t stop anytime soon. Onion opened his mouth and looked up at Steven. Steven picked up a doughnut and fed it to Onion.“You’re like a baby sometimes Onion.” Steven remarks, but as Onion is finishing the doughnuts, he catches two of Steven’s fingers in his mouth.“Onion what are you doing, we're out in the open.” Onion began to grind against Steven, then pushes his hand into his pants while continuing to suck his fingers.“Onion… please, Peedee is right there…” Onion knew his body was hidden so he continued, Steven was weak to his touch, he had learned all his sweet spots. So, he waited until Steven was about to break then, he stopped.“Please Onion….” Steven pleaded, but Onion only kissed his cheek and walked away.“I’m sorry Onion.” Steven could only gather his pride and return home; the walk was slow and tiring. But when he entered the house, he was greeted with a soft but chilling voice.“Steven, I think it’s time I addressed your relationship with Onion. You’ve grown too predictable, and you never attempt to get answers to your questions.” Sapphire sits quietly on the second floor.“W-what do you mean?” Steven’s voice quivers under the weight of her words.“You are… his pet.” “I don’t understand Sapphire.” Steven walked up the stairs slowly, he wanted to know where she was going.“You let him take advantage of you, I won’t deny his feelings, but your relationship is toxic. If you continue being obedient you will never advance. You’ll be left alone like a thrown piece of spoiled pizza.” Sapphire pats the free seat on the bed next to her but Steven doesn’t budge.“What am I supposed to do Sapphire! Just leave him, break up with him and let him burn the town! I like Onion, this is good for him! This would be so much easier if you had never found out!” Steven’s ranting doesn't phase Sapphire, she waits until he calms to continue.“Maybe, you should find out what he does before you continue this relationship, tonight he will be in the abandoned warehouse.” Sapphire leaves the bed and walks to her room, leaving Steven alone to ponder.[In sapphires room.]“Are you sure this is safe Laffy?” Ruby asked again for the tenth time.“It’s not, I just want to help them after all human rules are far different from ours. This is the worse test of love… I just hope Steven doesn’t get too emotional.” Sapphire’s voice was stagnant, this future shook her to her core.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

I would like to bring attention to my absence in uploading. Even I recognize the absolute desolation I have made this comic. Therefore I will be rebooting it in the time period after the movie. To all who were wondering what onion was up to, he was simply apart of an underground fighting arena where he would fight for the prize that he specified at the start.Everything is still cannon in my story, I would never waste my wonderful readers time!

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

When he returned, it was a shock, he didn't know how to feel. He was taller now, his voice softer, he had... a neck. Onion stood afront him, the taller boy rubbed his neck. Nothing was worse than peering into his distant eyes, pleading for his touch. He walked closer reaching towards him, but the boy spoke meekly.  "H-Hi Onion... It's been a while." Onion stopped, closing his hand and returning it to his hip. He looked down away from his gaze. "Muh-mumu-mumuha." Onion mumbled, seemingly to himself but, his words touched Steven. The subtlety and meekness of his voice, Steven had never known Onion to be shy, this made his heart skip a beat. Actually, at second glance, Onion seemed to be bashful and flush, his face a deep red, he was avoiding all eye contact.  "Onion-" Steven paused, his heart pounding, he felt as if his chest was about to burst. He wasn't ready, no matter how prepared he felt. Steven reached forward this time, but he didn't hesitate, he reached around Onion. In a warm embrace, he pulled him close.  "I missed you! So much!" Steven cries, he rubs his face against the boys. Onion seemed reluctant at first but, he couldn't hold, he sunk his entire being into the larger boy. Suddenly, a warmth flowed over them such a strong love, then a piercing light followed by a puff of smoke.  "O-Onion we fused..." A very hushed, pitch follows the fusing, they were taller now, with a head of full curly blond hair. Onion's hoodie followed behind like a cape and Steven's new jacket polished the look. They first gazed around, walked, then dashed, a childish joy embodied them. Nearly silent they ran around barefooted, the town was free to navigate. However, they stopped lying atop a building.  "I want.... to..." The pair un-fuse, Onion lies atop Steven, the roof was clean and the sky was void. Onion caressed Steven's gem, running his finger around it in circles. Steven pulled Onion closer, glancing at him he knew of his machinations, but he only worked to fuel them, pulling his shirt off to leaving his upper body exposed to young eyes. But, Onion didn't want that not now, he pulled on Steven's pants, sliding them off with an alluring finesse. Steven shivered, pushing his thighs together and rubbing them, it may have been daytime but the air blasted sharply. Onion spread Steven's legs and placed himself between them. "Onion, I need more.... time." Steven's breath grew desperate, it seemed no matter how old he became he still wanted Onion. Onion sets his body down upon Steven grind against his underwear, he continued for a time until Steven grew large, and his penis peered from his underwear. Onion drew back the underwear, leaving Steven completely exposed. Onion caressed Steven's now fit body, becoming more familiar with each new stroke.  "Oh, god Onion." Steven wailed. "I don't ever want to leave again..." His words made onion far more aroused than ever before, he couldn't hold it, Onion shimmied his pants down to the best of his ability revealing his petite but girthy mass. The summit shined red like a cherry, offering a bead of white viscous fluid starting the tip. He pressed against Steven's supple body, nothing had ever been so soft to him, not even the finest silk could rival  his  Steven. Slowly he pressed closer to the larger boys softest spot, as he pressed against the soft rim Steven murmured under his breath. "Muh-mumu-mum." Steven's cheeks grew a bright pinkish hue, as Onion pierces into his body. Like a glove Onion tries on Steven, he was soft inside, his walls tighter than before, Onion began to melt inside him.  "O-onion your drooling, my stomach is drenched..." Onion closes his mouth swiftly, reddening in the face. Onion slaps his body against the boy, lying his body upon the pool of drool, thrusting deeper inside him in flowing motions. "Onion, I'm gonna- Oh no!" Stevens gem began to glow a lustrous pink tint. Onion continued to fill Steven, he had been swelling up for so long and the release left him in a euphoric daze.  "I'm sorry Onion this always happens!" Onion began to shudder, he filled the deepest orifice that could be reached. Steven glowed for a second. "H-hey we didn't fuse." A flash of light beckons for the boy's attention, from across the boardwalk it would appear someone took a picture. "O-Onion we need to go find out where that light came from!" Steven turned to Onion, but Onion was already fully dressed and ready. "Ok!" Steven swiftly threw on his clothes, grabbing Onion and pulling him close. Steven leaped from atop the building, speeding mercilessly towards the boardwalk, landing directly in front of the fry joint. "H-Hi Steven, I didn't know you could do that..." Peedee sat in the interior, slumped over supporting his head with his hand.  "Peedee, did you see someone taking pictures around here?" Steven placed Onion gently on the ground before pressing Peedee for information. "I think, I saw Lars doing a photo-shoot with Sadie and the crew." Peedee ushered around the boardwalk. "Thanks, Peedee!" Steven rushed down the boardwalk, Onion following along diligently. "Have fun babysitting!"  Steven breezed speedily past the arcade as if he were warping, everything became a blur as he grasped the tail end of Lars's pink hand. Pulling him backward with enough force to drop him to the ground, Lars flies to the ground.  "Ouch Steven what was that-" Lars is hushed by the dominating voice Steven presents. "Give me, the camera..." Lars's face became bent, he hoisted the camera, giving it to. Steven scanned through the photos, gasping he placed the camera on the ground. "Steven, what are you doing?"  Steven lifted his foot and stomped on the camera. "Steven no!" Lars expressed his disdain so audibly that the suspects returned from around the corner. "Steven! What are you doing!?" Sadie shrieked. Steven lifted his foot once again and smashed it harder against the camera, shattering not only it but also the ground. He lifted his foot and slumped over on the wall.  "Steven, why did you break our camera!" Sadie looked concerned and infuriated. "Official gem business, nothing to worry about!" Steven chuckled, leaning his head back and tapping it on the wall. "That camera cost eight hundred dollars!" Lars shouted. "I was going to use those pictures to endorse the bakery!" Lars picked at the scraps of the now-demolished camera. "I'm sorry guys..." Steven looked down at his shirt.  "Wait! I found it!" Lars pulled a memory card from the pile. Steven stood up and reached for the memory card, but Lars swiftly threw it to buck, and buck threw it to Sour Cream. Steven shakily walked toward Sour Cream but Sadie blocked the way. "Steven, we love you and all but we spent three days on this photo-shoot. At least explain this gem business." Sadie's protest roused the gang's suspicions. "U-Ummm, guys just, please I-I need whats on that to be deleted..." Steven lowered his head, completely defeated. "Ok, Steven." Sadie lowered her arms. "But, only after we back up the images."  "Wait! Don't back up the images!" Steven shouted scaring the group as his demeanor changed so quickly. "What, why can't we back it up?" Lars chimed in. "Just don't!" Steven snapped back like a lion. "Steven, that's not cool, we worked hard on this." Buck stepped forward from the back of the group. "Guys just listen." Steven lamented. "Please, just give me the memory card." "No, Steven you've never given us a reason not to trust what you're saying. If you're in trouble you can tell us anything!" Lars walked towards Steven and patted him on the back. "No... You don't understand!" Steven hoisted his voice. Why can't you just do this for me!" "Ste-" Sadie is swiftly hushed. "Don't Steven me! For the longest, each of you has been nothing but selfish!" Steven's hue began to change. starting from his gem. "Steven you're turning-" Hushed again. "Just can it won't ya!" Steven fragments the pavement as he marches towards Sadie. "Move." Steven's voice reverberated through the walk. "Steven you need to calm down! We know it's your first day back and everything's been stressful." Sadie raised her hands striving to quail the boy. "Don't tell me to calm down when you're not  listening! " Steven roars like a lion, shattering all the glass around the boardwalk. He glares at everyone as they hunch over towards the ground. Suddenly, he feels an attentive tug at his pants leg, turning around viciously he locks eyes with Onion. Steven's heart skips a beat, like water to a flame Steven began to extinguish, seeing the fear in his friend's eyes.  "I need... a break." Steven slumps over. "It's ok Steven." Sadie walked over to Steven and handed him the memory card. "T-thank you, Sadie, you don't know how much this means to me." Steven throws himself onto the pavement, lying down to relax. "Oh well Steven, I guess we're just gonna have to start over! Maybe when you get some rest you can model for me." Lars sits next to Steven and pats his head. A shadow looms above beach city, dark as death itself. An injector floats above the lighthouse, Steven lunges up. "My work is never done, bye guys!" Steven waves to everyone as he runs off, glancing back at Onion once more with lamenting eyes. As he reaches the injector the gems are already there.  "Garnet, status report." Steven peers over at Garnet. "I don't know Steven, not now." Garnet summons her weapons along with the other gems prepared for combat. "Hey! Are you Steven Universe?" An ominous figure looms above the gems, gazing down upon them as the shadow of the injector cloaks their face. "Umm, yes?" "Perfect..."

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

Steven had a door now, and so he had more privacy. So when Onion would slither into his bed at night he wouldn't object. But one day Steven woke up, feeling nauseous. As he inched down the stairs he paused for a second, Onion stood erect as if he had been caught by the police. But, seeing Steven he relaxes, Steven, however, only attempted to run past Onion who would grab at his pajamas. Steven rotated on his heel watching Onion as he approached to hug him.

"Muh muhmu muhm." Onion hugged Stevens's leg elated to see him.

"You know I'm sick Onion, I don't want you to catch anything." Steven rubs his dry eyes and holds his breadbasket.

Onion rubbed his head against Steven, but Steven didn't react.

"Muh um mumu." Onion mumbles to Steven.

"Of course Onion, I know you love m-" Steven clasped a palm over his mouth before his jowls began to expand, he twisted away from Onion vomiting profusely. Steven fell over and down the stairs about three or five stairs. Onion ran over to Steven who lies dazed on the ground.

"I'm ok Onion, I just need to give my self a little kiss." Steven raises his hand and kisses himself, slight light spills over his hand and Steven sits up. Onion frantically attempts to aid Steven but he is waved off again.

"Onion, I'm ok, it's fine and even if I weren't the gems can take care of me."

"M um unm mmumn." Onion retorts back at the older boy.

"But Onion you're just a kid," Steven spoke without fail.

Onion stood to his feet, he walked out of Steven's house making sure to lock the door behind him. Steven paused for a moment, then he slumped over apprehending what he had said to his burgeoning love.

The light of the warp pad flashed, Pearl ran over to Steven.

"Steven wake up, what is that foul odor?" Pearl heaved at the sight of the vomit.

"Steven are you ok?" Pearl picked up the now unconscious Steven and hurried him to his bed, careful not to step on the now dry puddle of vomit.

(Onion PoV)

Onion began his trek home, he couldn't look at Steven maybe two years at space changed him for the worse. It was still early morning, and by the time Onion opened the door to his room Vidalia was already calling him down to eat. Onion would sit during the entirety of breakfast quietly.

"Onion you're not playing with your food what's wrong?" Vidalia prodded at her melancholy son.

"Muh." Onion replied in a nonchalant tone.

"Well, you know what makes me feel better when I'm sad?" Vidalia stood to her feet and walked towards the telephone.

Onion lifted his face and began to walk upstairs before he heard her response.

"Friends! Now let's call up Steven and Amethyst and have an art session!" Onion ran back into the kitchen, seeking to convince his mom not to call anyone.

"Oh! Hi Amethyst, It's Vidalia I was hoping you and Steven could come over and hang out!" Onion started looking for the landline to cut the cord.

"No... He's sick? Fainted early in the morning." Onion paused.

"Well, he probably needs his rest if he has a fever... No, I don't think a cold bath would help..." Onion began out the door, fist clenched swallowing whatever anger he may be holding.

Now that onion was walking past the boardwalk, he began to feel more worried. How could his healing not help him? Usually, he's fine by now. Onion gripped his pounding heart, he began to dash faster and faster, paying no regard to the people he may bash into on the way. As he turned around the corner to the beach house he nearly fainted, he opened the door and ran up the stairs. Even if Steven didn't care he would be sure to be by his side.

(Steven's PoV)

Slowly he roused from his slumber, his eyes opened.

"Hi, Onion..." Steven sat up in his bed, he would reach for Onion who would only look down at him with widened eyes. Steven pulled Onion into the bed and held him close.

"I'm sorry, I love you." Steven tightened his grip on Onion. He was cool to the touch, Steven cried for a while. Onion pressed back into Steven comforting him.

(Garnets PoV)

Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl return to the house with groceries. Garnet takes a swift pause while pearl turns on the lights.

"I do hope Steven will feel better when we give him this soup Lars made." Pearl begins to alphabetize and organize the food by color and name.

"Hey P throw me an egg!" Amethyst opened her mouth waiting for Pearl.

"If you're only going to eat raw eggs why id we go to the Big Doughnut in the first place!?" Pearl finished packing the food and closed the fridge.

"Aww come on P."

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking this soup to Steven." Pearl ignored Amethyst and began to walk up the stairs.

"Stop, I'll be bringing him the soup," Garnet spoke.

"But Garnet you still have bags in your hands." Pearl continued to walk. But garnet flung the bags of medicine at Amethyst.

"My hands are empty now, hand me the soup." Garnet spoke calmly once again.

"W-well if you insist." Pearl handed Garnet the soup. Which she walked up to the room, and knocked on the door.

"Steven, it's me." Garnet stood at the door for a while before opening the door.

"H-hi Garnet..." Steven twiddles his fingers above the bed sheets. Completely blush in the face hoping to seem natural.

Garnet walks towards Steven and sits on the bed.

"He's in the laundry basket." Steven turned a beet red shade.

"O-onion you can come out..." Onion's head popped out of the laundry basket with a pair of Steven's underwear in his mouth.

"Onion those aren't clean..." Onion crawled out of the basket and onto the bed, leaving behind a trail of messy clothes on the floor and the underwear still in his mouth.

"Steven, you need to be more careful. If I wasn't the one to bring you the soup this could have been bad." Garnet placed the soup on top of Steven's lap, she then patted Onion's head gently.

"Like... how bad?" Steven rubbed his neck.

"Bad. But remember, I support your love full-heartedly and nothing will ever change that." Garnet stands and prepares to exit the room.

"But, maybe you should get a scarf for those hickeys." Garnet chuckled, she left behind Steven's squeaks and returned to the living room.

As garnet returned to the living room she sits on the couch resting.

"Did he try the soup?" Pearl asked as she sat next to Garnet on the sofa.

"Nope." Garnet responds.

"What do you mean Garnet?" Pearl tilted her head with her hand on her chin.

"He's busy... resting." Garnet shifted her visor.

"Well as long as it gets to him." Pearl stated as she left for her room. Amethyst was already gone for the night.

(

The next few days past without pause, Steven and Onion began spending more time together again.)

(Connie PoV)

I can do it... Today I'm going to confess to Steven! Nothing is going to stop me, and nobody is going to stop me! Connie drew nearer to Steven's house before she stood at the door. She took a deep breath in and opened the door, she saw Steven sitting on the couch. Her eyes fixated on him as she strode forward.

"Steven! I need to tell you something!" Connie shouted sternly.

"S-sure go-ahead Connie." Steven was shaken by how hard Connie had come forward, this had to have been important he thought.

"Steven, I like you!" Her words shook through the house. She knew something was amiss when he stopped moving, he somewhat sank back into the sofa.

"Connie I'm sorry..." Steven's voice spoke softly and as comforting as possible.

"B-but Steven I thought..." Her eyes swell, but she gathers herself swiftly. "Are you not ready for a relationship." Connie exhaled.

"It's not that I just..." Steven paused momentarily.

"Are you afraid of dating humans?" Connie shot another question unrelenting.

"No, Connie." Steven answered calmly.

"Do you feel like you won't have the time?" Connie questioned further.

"No, Connie." Steven answered swiftly.

"Then what, do you already have a girlfriend?" Connie became more hysterical as she continued answering, her voice beginning to quiver at every word. But, Steven didn't answer this question her heart dropped.

"Oh... I'm sorry for assuming..." Connie turned and left not listening to Steven's last words.

As she walked off she got to the boardwalk before taking a full pause, she turned around walking back. She wanted to know who, she needed to know who. But when she arrived, she was shocked peering through the mesh door. She took out her phone and began to record, after a minute or so she ran away.
 
 (Steven's PoV)

Onion was holding on too hard, Steven attempted to pull away but Onion wouldn't budge. Steven was tired so he pulled Onion in closer, and kissed him.

"Onion, I would never leave you for Connie." Steven rubbed his face against Onion.

"Mamu muah mu." Onion gazed into Steven's eyes.

"Onion, I would never leave you for anyone." Steven pulled Onion even closer, lying a multitude of hugs and kisses on him. However, Onion only resisted the affection Steven would give fidgeting out of his grasp. Onion sat at the floor in front of Steven's lap, Steven blushed, but he pulled off his pants exactingly. However, Onion wasn't that easy, he sat there peering at Steven. Steven grew more and more flushed, eventually, he picked up Onion and apologized. Onion would then mutter into Steven's ear, prompting them to his room.
 
 (Connie's PoV)

"Yes, dad... I'm sure."

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

(Three days past since Connie's failed confession.) Steven receives a knock at the door, as he walks down the stairs, Garnet appears to open it. She appeared out of nowhere. "Warp away..." Garnet whispers to Steven. "W-what." Steven stops. "You need to go... now!" Garnet opened the door, greeting the guest. "Hello Doug, how are you?" Garnet spoke, however in a very non-questioning tone. "Garnet, I would like to speak to you about Steven." Dough gulped, having to deal with the most problematic of the gems. "I'm sorry, I can't do that for you." Garnet begins to close the door, when Doug places his hand in the doorway she stops. "Please remove your hand." "Garnet, I'm sorry about this but if we don't talk now I will need to alert law enforcement." Doug looked Garnet straight in the face, he could see her hand shaking, she must have known something and been afraid. "Come in." Garnet opens the door. (Onion PoV) He promised Steven, but that was two years ago. Two years. Onion thought he could be happy, but no. Not today, not ever. Onion dug into his pile of discarded junk, he found his weapons and re-pocketed them. He began his day-long adventure, he re-familiarizes himself with his switchblade on the way. Walking he gathers himself, his plan needed to be perfect and he was surely rusty. He pulls out a sandwich from his bag and flings it on the ground, he would then stomp on the sandwich. This felt good, he relished the savory flavor of his deeds, and after a time, he arrived. Connie wouldn't be home, she would be at the park jogging, what a joke he thought. How could she be so calm, so casual, so happy? Onion had been ready, he waited until she took a seat and brought out her phone. He threw a dagger swiftly from the bushes, it flew past her face, he missed. Connie stood swiftly. "Who's there!" Connie shouted bringing attention to herself. Onion threw another blade, it flew swiftly and smashed directly into her phone, it was demolished. "My phone!" Connie dashed off using combat maneuvers to assure she would be safe. However, Onion was ready he threw another and this time it landed, it stabbed into her shoulder. "Gah!" Connie ran, electric in her movements, as she escaped another dagger Onion clicked his tongue. She was far out of range, this was more than enough for today so he waited to make his hasty departure. Three days later. Onion sat in his room, he had made plans, diagrams, charts. Nothing was going to stop him.*Knock Knock* Oh, someone to stop his progress. He hid away all he had planned and opened the door. It was his mother, and her... that monster. "Onion, sweetie Connie is here to tell you about Steven." He already knew what would happen, when Connie leaned over. He placed his hand on where her wound would have been, and he pressed against it with full force. "Ouch! Onion could you be a little gentler I'm a bit sore from training." Liar, you wouldn't show your face at the temple to be healed. "Onion, Steven won't be coming around anymore he went away on a big mission." Onion was happy she said this because it would only make the next part of his plan all the sweeter. He handed her three folded pieces of paper, slowly he ushered for her to open them. Maybe her feeble mind would understand him. This time she did, and in order, she opened each of them. Then she looked at Onion, her complexion grew pale and she ran from the house. Vidalia ran after wondering what happened. Onion only picked up the notes and burned them. Step one was complete, and if she was clever... she wouldn't push him to step two. Three more days pass, like clockwork. Onion had returned to Steven's arms as nothing ever occurred, he nuzzled his prize. This time he had won, and he never intended to lose. Steven was quiet for some time, this worried the younger boy. Now he had to press. "Muh mu hum?" Onion questioned. "I don't know..." Steven lowered his head onto Onion's plume of hair. It was quiet for some time, then Onion heard Steven's stomach growl, turned and looked at him. He was blushing. "Want some quacola?" Steven stands, walking towards the fridge. Onion was confused, he knew nobody liked guacola and when he saw Steven chug it like water he knew something was off. "Muh mu hum?" Onion wanted to know why he was poisoning himself. "Oh, you didn't know! They have a new formula it's great." The larger boy was elated when he passed a can to Onion. But, when Onion took a sip he found himself offended, this formula was ten times worse than the last. It had to contain some amount of cyanide, and Onion was not about to let Steven drink this. He cracked a smile and walked to the fridge collecting all the guacola and running out the house, opening and throwing them into the ocean. "Onion!" Steven's voice could be heard as he ran down the stairs. (Jaspers PoV) "Why would I help you? I owe you nothing, leave me alone." Jasper's voice echoed from her cave. "But you have to help us, you're all we have." The British tongued floating fusion pleaded from outside the cave. "Leave." Jasper threw a bolder from inside the cave smashing it into the fusion splitting them apart. "Even the formidable Jasper, has been knocked down to a lowly pawn at the hands of Steven Universe." Ruby lied on the ground defeated. "It's ok Ruby, just because they quit it doesn't mean we have to." Aquamarine stood to their feet. "Now come on, we still have to get rid of Steven Universe." Aquamarine extended a dainty hand towards Ruby. "There's no point." Jasper emerged from her cave. "We don't care, he deserves whatever's coming to him and we're going to deliver it to him on a silver platter." Aquamarine had swiftly taken up the mantle of the conversation. "'Nobody is going to help you, he has the diamonds wrapped around his fingers!" Jasper grew more erratic, her voice became more defeated. "O, you believe there are no other gems who want their old positions back?" Aquamarine continued her berate Jasper's weakness. "You have nothing, Steven has the diamonds. He has an army of gems at his disposal!" Jasper was irate at this point. "You are old fashioned, I should have known you're more conceded than an era one gem." Aquamarine's dismissive tone shook something in Jasper, she stood still for a moment. "Prove it." "Could you say again, I don't understand mumble." Aquamarine teased Jasper. "I said, prove it!" Jasper roared fiercely like a lion, staggering Aquamarine. "Wonderful..."

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

(Onion PoV, about 3 days later.)

Steven had been a little sensitive lately, now this was no problem for Onion but, he was not only sensitive he was also clingy. Now, again this was usually no problem, but not when Steven would carry him around the boardwalk like a baby. It was just humiliating, all of this because he tripped and lost a tooth.

"Onion~, let's get lunch!" Steven ran towards Fish Stew Pizza for the third time today.

"Muh ma mu-mu" Onion proclaimed whilst trying to slip from Stevens grasp.

"What? You're not hungry!" Steven clearly didn't understand that he can't eat lunch more than four times a day. They had already been to Lar's bakery, the Frybo's and Funland! On top of all that he's been carrying him around since they left his house!

"Mau mu ma maah." Onion freed himself from Steven's grasp.

"Onion..." Steven looked towards him as he escaped, as Onion turned towards him saw how hopeless he looked. He slowly shuffled back over to Steven and let him pick him up. It lasted like this the whole day, and it didn't make it better that every five minutes he would rush to the bathroom.

"Ma muma mua." Onion would speak watching Steven with tired eyes.

"You ready to go? I think we ate enough!" It was six at night, Onion looked at him.

"Mu mah ma ma." Onion didn't know Steven's reaction would be so serious, so when he started crying Onion was stunned.

"I just wanted to spend time with you..." Steven began turning pink.

"Mu ma mhu mu mah!" Onion reached towards Seven only to have his hand pushed away.

"I know, I'm not the best!" Steven's tears poured, his hue began to engulf the boardwalk.

"Muma muh mu m..." Onion lowered his voice and looked around the walk. Something was wrong, none of the gems were acting like themselves.

"It's just so hard, I wanted to spend time with you!" Steven was completely pink, he slumped over drowning in his dismay.

The boardwalk grew loud, all the gems seemingly stopped functioning, they would run around spouting nonsense and slam into walls. All eyes would soon come to Steven, and Onion knew this. Onion grabbed Steven by the hand and pulled him.

"I know I'm not great... I can't even keep the gems together let alone little homeschool." Steven continued crying as Onion pulled him down an ally.

Onion sat Steven down behind a dumpster, grabbing his head and pressing it to his chest. He sat for thirty minutes, talking to him, holding him, comforting him. After a while, he fell asleep, Onion couldn't drag him, so he waited. He gazed upwards into the sky, something caught his eye it looked like a floating island, then it vanished. Onion wanted to talk to Steven about this but, he left him to rest.

When Steven woke up.

Steven's eyes opened, he looked up at the sky, it was dull, the sun had set and it was quiet. He turned, his head was lying on Onion. Onion looked down with weary eyes.

"Hey, Onion..." Steven reached up to pat his face, caressing his cheeks gently.

"Muu ma mu~" Onion's eyes began to settle, he turned his head down towards Steven.

"I'm-" Onion tried to listen, he did but, he was too tired. It was already far past two at night, he would just need to remember for later.

(The next day, Steven's Birthday.)
 
 Onion was late, extraordinarily late, he overslept. But could they place him at fault? He had to take care of Steven last night... But when he got here everything was going to the shitter.

"Connie, just get out of my face!" Steven ran down the staircase in a fit.

"But Steven you need to listen to me!" Connie followed suit, followed by another pair or people and the gems.

"Connie, I don't want to hear this!" Steven continued towards the beach, nearly flying down the stairs.

"Steven, he's dangerous!" She wasn't listening to him and when they both reached where Onion stood they froze.

"Onion, tell her you never followed her anywhere, tell me you didn't throw a dagger at her! Steven turned to Onion, expecting an answer.

"He can't even talk Steven, how can you understand him?!" Connie rudely shouted.

"

You've never tried to understand him!

" Steven glared at Connie, he wouldn't let her get off with that one.

"Onion, tell me..." Steven walked over to Onion gently reaching for him. But, he didn't speak, he saw Steven's face as his heart sink.

"Mu Mumah..." Onion tried to apologize but Steven wouldn't listen, he turned away from both of them and walked towards his house.

"Just... leave, both of you." Steven dragged his feet along the sand, he returned to his "party" and closed the door. Onion stood there, he looked towards Connie. She glared at him but he looked defeated, he sat down and ushered Connie over. His eyes were watering, she may have been his nemesis but maybe they could agree on something. So, for the rest of the day, she tried to understand.

Two months pass, strange occurrences begin to happen in Beach City, all the while Steven Universe is struggling with his strange occurrences.

*Ring Ring Ring*

Steven checked his phone then threw it against the wall at full force. Like a turtle, he began to rock back and forth, jumping to his feet, they hurt, his back hurt, his shoulders hurt. He was weighted, all the burdens of the world bared down upon him. As he slumped towards the door sliding on the floor, he stopped for a moment, listening he heard speaking outside. It was Connie, she was being let up to his bedroom, he heaved up and darted towards his bed, he didn't want anyone to see him like this.

"Steven..." Her voice was soft as she knocked on the door.

"I'm here with a friend Steven, he wants to see you." The room was silent.

"Steven... everyone misses you..." Once again, silence.

"Come on, say something." Connie spoke to someone behind the door.

"Muh-" His words were cut short.

"Leave!" Steven pounded on the door, shouting from the other side.

"Steven please, you can't stay there forever!" Connie added fire to fire. Her shouting only leads to a worse turn of events.

Like a flash of light, the interior of the room flashed bright with a pink hue.

"

No!"

Steven bashes on the door, it begins to fall. Onion leaps towards Connie saving her. As the door slams against the staircase, Stevens's full visage is revealed. He stood with a large belly, claws and a horn, one of his eyes was pure dark pink. As he walks on top of the door his aura changed all tint in the room to pink, it covered the walls, floor, door, it seeped out into the world like a beacon.

"Steven... are you... ok..." Connie was flabbergasted, she was afraid and worried.

"I said leave!"

Tears flooded down Steven's face, as he continued to walk towards them unwavering in his fight. Onion was frozen, his gaze was locked on Steven. Onion stood to his feet and walked towards Steven.

"Get out of my house."

The gems ran into the building, Connie turned to them screaming for help. But Onion ran forward, and when he turned to take a glimpse of the gems they were paralyzed, he had seen this before. But when he lunged towards him, he didn't expect him to lunge back. When Steven slashed, it chewed deep. Onion was thrown against the wall bloodied. This seemed to slow down the monstrosity, but when Connie drew her sword he was only made furious. Then the fight commenced.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

(Connie Pov)
 
 The sounds of steel clashed through the house, fiercely Connie lunges towards Steven. Only for him to summon a crude shield, it resembled nothing Connie had ever seen. When her blade slashed against it, she felt the cut go through, but when she searched for the feel of Steven's flesh there was nothing. She saw him motionless but unscathed. Something was wrong, and then she was hit! Slashed through the stomach, she keeled over gazing at him from the floor. The image she was seeing wasn't real, Steven was behind her.

Connie dragged herself up she stood before a mountain, herself only a pebble, from the corner of her eye she saw a young petite boy, standing to his feet. This gave her motivation, as she rose she pulled her blade and made one final slash with all her might, she felt her sword stop. It was grasped between Steven's fingers and shattered in his hand. Steven loomed above her, he reeled back his clawed hand baring his sharp fangs, before he was able to finish his deed he was grabbed from behind.

"Steven..." A voice so soft, he had never heard it this caring. It was Onion. He spoke to him so lovingly. The monster was hindered, Steven turned, grabbing him full-heartedly he kissed him, in front of Connie. Connie was more than sickened, but seeing as he was calm she rested. Steven passed out, the light dimmed, the gems seemed fine as they stood to their feet and ran to him. This was great for Onion because it took most of his strength to hold him up. 
 
 Thirty minutes past.
 
 Connie was standing in the corner, she watched as he woke. She stayed for the conversation.

"How long have you been like this Steven!" Pearl knelled at the side of his bed.

"Since the party." Steven sat up in his bed, propping himself up on pillows.

"How long have you been..." Pearl held her tongue, she looked away holding back her tears.

"How long have you been so fat Steven!' Amethyst shouted everyone chuckled. Everyone but Connie.

"Steve, how long have you been pregnant?" Pearl summoned her strength, the room went silent.

"Six months..." Steven sighed deeply.

Connie lifted her broken sword, she turned towards the door and started to walk off.

"C-Connie, where are you going..." Steven called out in vain.

"I'm not useful here." Connie's voice resonated through the room.

"But, Connie..."

"No Steven, there's nothing to fight, and that's all I'm good for!" Connie opened the door and stormed out, she had enough tears strolled down her face. When she exited the house lion was there, she grabbed onto him and warped away.

The next few days passed quietly for Connie after she confined herself in her subconscious. She was aloof in school, at home, it was like she lost apart of herself. She couldn't track the time as it passed, everything was so wrong... and she couldn't fix it.
 
 (Onion PoV)
 
 On the other hand for Steven, everything was returning to normal, he had Onion back. But, only on the condition that he completely disarm himself, rooting through his house only stressed him out more. The piles of various objects Onion would pull out of his home would only add more to the stress. Onion was less than thrilled, but he had to do what he could for his Steven.

"Is this a shotgun!" Steven leaped backward away from the barrel of the gun.

"Ma muh ma mu." Onion rubbed his neck.

"Well if it's your mom's why would you bring it out!" Steven was fuming.

"Ma mu mah mu ma." Onion walked over to Steven.

"Not all the weapons! Only the ones you used." Steven rubbed his temple.

"Muh ma mu." Onion shrugged.

"What do you mean then leave it!" Onion saw Steven growing more emotional, but he had a trick up his sleeve now.

"Steven." Onion had never spoken any other word in English other than Steven's name. He knew how much it mattered to Steven, and he loved him. So when he saw Steven's eyes warm his heart softened.

"Onion, let's get back to work..." Steven turned swiftly back to the piles of junk, together they hurried to clean up the mess and sell the weapons before Vidalia returned.

"Who knew suitcase Sam would have that much money on him." Steven walked equip with a large coat that suited the winter weather. Onion returned home and Steven continued his trek alone. 
 
 (Pearl PoV)

Three months later.

What do I do, I cant lose Steven... He should be fine, at least that's what Garnet said. He's organic... his body was made for this... But he's a boy. He already told us that none of this was purposeful, but how do you unconsciously shape-shift! Maybe it's the tantrums, his emotions aren't stable. But, why... Why did it have to be that...

Child!

Pearl walked up towards the lighthouse, she had to clear her head. It was then she saw it, her fatal mistake. Above, a gargantuan ship floated for a moment it flashed whatever cloak it had wavered. That would, however, be the last thing she would see.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

(Garnet PoV)

"Steven, you have five minutes." Garnet walks past Steven calmly.

"Five minutes for what?" Steven sits peacefully, reading a book on the sofa.

"Five minutes until you will feel unbearable pain, you will cry, shriek and wail. Nobody around you will be able to help, and then." Garnet stopped.

"Then what..." Steven squirmed in his seat.

"Then, it will be over." Garnet smiled and walked towards the door to open it.

"Hi, Onion!" Steven rolled over, to stand when it beat him. He peed his pants, keeled over he froze.

"Mau mu, ma mau mah." Onion ran over.

"Don't mau mu ma me!" Steven shouted Garnet felt she was no longer needed, she began to phase into the background. After a minute she went outside, Garnet walked towards the quiet beach. When she sat, she looked towards the sky. It was quiet this day, no birds, only a clear view of the ocean.

"Sapphire."

"Yes."

"Are you ready for this..."

"I don't think anyone could ever be ready."

"What are we going to do, when it's all over?"

"Hope that we both survive, my love."

"I can't exist without you..."

"...What will Steven do, without us."

"I don't know..."

"This would have been easier if Steven hadn't fallen in love, this future was so distant, so unbelievable I marked it off." Garnet stood to her feet, she summoned her gauntlets.

"Sapphire, how did it feel when we first fused?"

Garnet turned around, she gazed up towards the sky, a flash of light pierced the sky, she lunged towards it. When she clashed with the mighty figure the sound of war split the sky.
 
 (Amethyst PoV)

Garnet's message was vague, going to the lighthouse and leaping past the clouds, but it sounded fun. She lunged and smacked into a hard dome, the slam ricocheted a wave that revealed it to her. It was a ship, larger than the Zooman's colony, Amethyst shape-shifted into a bird and flew off, hopefully, nothing had seen her. She flew towards the beach house, when she arrived it was silent. The door creaked open, she ran towards Steven's room on the second floor. She was greeted by a small pair of eyes, he stopped her before she could bust down the door.

"Muh ma muu ma!" Onion shielded the door with his body.

"Listen, Onion, I like you! Steven likes you! But a lot is going on outside and right now I could use the power of a diamond!" Amethyst bypassed Onion, she smashed down the door and froze.

"Oh Steven, why now..." Amethyst would behold the sight of Steven, asleep with a baby in his arms. She stormed forward much to Onion's dismay. She opened her mouth and staggered, she couldn't do it.

"Onion, things aren't looking good outside..." Amethyst sets her eyes on the newborn, he looks soft.

"We can't stay here Onion." Amethyst returned her sight to the small boy.

"Muh." Onion couldn't do anything, but let them rest.

"I have a-" Amethyst was cut off by the sound of a crack. It sounded similar to a bolt of lightning striking. Another, and another, she looked towards onion.

Amethyst spent the better part of five minuted describing a plan to Onion, and giving him resources. She shapeshifted into a bed and warped away with Steven afterward. Onion was alone, he was ready everything that he would do now would be for his family.

(One day later on watermelon island.)

(Steven PoV)
 
 Steven began to open his eyes, it was warm but he wasn't home. It looked like he was in a cave, he felt a weight on his chest, when he looked down he felt tranquil and closed his eyes. Seconds later his eyes jolted open. He wasn't home, he was in a cave! Steven nearly lunged forward, until he felt the weight of a baby in footy pajamas on his chest. He picked up his baby and stood to his feet, when he walked the cave it felt familiar.

"Steven!" The bed Steven was lying on began to move, this startled Steven. He activated full defense mode, several walls of shields stood between him and the bed.

'Wow calm down bro!" Amethyst returned to her regular form.

"Amethyst... Gosh, you scared me." Steven lowers the walls but holds his son close.

"Where are we?" Steven looked around.

"This is watermelon island, remember way back when?" Amethyst peeled back leaves revealing a thriving modernist community of watermelon people.

"Wow, Amethyst this is amazing!" Steven walked out the cave breathing in the fresh air, he turned to Amethyst.

"Why, are we here?"

"It's bad Steven, really bad..." Amethyst looked away, she knew this is far from what he desired.

S: "Where is everyone." Steven looked down in his arms.

A: "Somewhere, Garnet and Pearl are lost."

S: "I can't leave him."

A: "Y-you won't have to if we fuse!"

S: "How dangerous is it?"

A: "Dangerous enough to send Onion to fight..."

S: "What? What if he gets hurt!"

A: "I gave him weapons dude, he's working on his part of the plan."

S: "What weapons, you know I'm trying to get him to set a good example!"

A:"But he was the only one who could help us!"

S: "Explain."

Amethyst spent some time with Steven explaining the plan, afterward, Steven chose to leave his baby with the watermelons. They still followed him, and it was safe enough but he still felt guilty. As he neared the warp pad he crumbled, his calm and collected demeanor shattered.

"Amethyst, I can't do this!" Steven stood motionless in tears.

"Steven, everyone's counting on us." Amethyst tried to reassure the boy.

"It's not that, it's just..." Steven took in a deep breath, his speech became stunted.

"Just what?" Amethyst tried to rush his speech.

"When, will I be able to rest! I have a son, a boyfriend, a home!" Steven's shirt became soggy, his eye began to pucker.

"Steven, I hate to say this but." Amethyst cleared her voice before being interrupted.

"

I just don't want to fight anymore!

" Steven keeled to the floor.

Amethyst walked forward, she placed a hand on Steven.

"Nothing is worth it if, it's not worth fighting for. If you love your son, if you love your boyfriend, if you love us and, little homeworld. You're going to have to fight to keep them because right now, you and I are all that's left." Amethyst wasn't used to dishing out tough love, but when Steven rose to his feet with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, she knew they were ready.

They warped to little home-world, it was dark when they looked around it was silent.

"Who goes there!"

Steven knew this voice, but it was distorted and sharp...

"Lapis?" Steven shouted as he turned around seeing a four-armed woman, a fusion.

"Steven... it's you." The Dorito shaped green gemstone crowned the forehead of this gem.

"When did you and Peridot fuse?" Steven looked excited ready to hear the answer, it was about time in his books!

"This was necessary... We would have been harvested along with the others if we didn't." They turned down looking away from Steven.

"How many, got taken away..." Steven's heart couldn't continue beating without an answer.

"More than half, Bismuth is gone." They pointed up, a large steel and water dome encased the domain. Amethyst rubbed her neck before she spoke.

"Where is Onion?" She glanced at Steven.

"The boy who warned us about the attack, he left to town, something about finding someone, it's a shame he was able to bring down two of the attackers alone."

Steven placed a gentle hand on Amethyst, he took a deep breath.

"There's no time to waste..." Steven was more than ready.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----

When Steven approached the city he never presumed it would be so devastated. Everything was burning and above it all, a castle floating in the sky. A monolith, black, sleek and disturbing. A glistening flash of light appeared on the ground before Steven, a gem he had never seen appeared.

"You know... I think I'm your mother's last enemy." She was large, like a diamond, her clothing elegant, her voice melodious but undisturbed by the screams that filled the air.

"Wh-" Steven had no time to react when she attacked, she raised her hand and with no notice, an explosion thrust Steven back.

"Let's skip the introductions Steven Universe, I have everything you love in my hand. In a moment you will have a choice, save half of them or watch them all die." She extended her arms exhibiting herself as White Diamond did when they first met. From the monolith bubbles containing the townies, each of the unconscious bodies stood motionless.

"Let them go!" Steven shouted, calling to deaf ears.

"You are in no place to make demands, I would hope you look around well." Steven glanced at all the bubbles, not a single gem was present.

"Amethyst... Go get the diamonds." Steven prompted Amethyst to run back into the opaque dome.

"No running..." Her voice shook Amethyst's form, she became distorted nearly instantly.

"Steven I don't know what's going on..." Amethyst was frozen in place, Steven placed a bubble around her and issued the orders again.

"You aren't very learned Steven Universe. Have you ever been to school?" Her face softened as if she was looking at a lost puppy.

"What are you even talking about! You've never been to earth, I've never seen a gem like you!" Steven turned to see if Amethyst had gone, luckily she had.

"On the contrary, I've lived here longer than you. I've received more than one hundred years of formal education." She snapped her finger, a mist pervaded one of the bubbles. The townie began to seize, his eyes gush and he dropped.

"W-what did you just do to him!" Steven summoned his shield and surged ahead.

"You shouldn't care if he's dead, you've never met him." She slapped Steven away like a gnat, the ground split as he hit it.

"Why are you doing this..." Steven stood to his feet glowing a far deeper pink.

"I'm not here to talk Steven Universe if, you ask another question I'll have to make an example of this one." A bubble flew towards her hand, it was Sadie. Steven stood motionless,

"I had watched so much TV, the movies where villains would monologue, giving the hero all the time to think of a plan." She turned to Steven.

"Take me if you want me! Torture me! Do anything you want with me! Just let them go!" Steven broke into tears.

"This isn't about you, Steven Universe." She lifted her head, staring at the dome of water.

"Then, what is it about!" Steven felt a bitter chill run down his spine. When she slowly turned to him and the bubble filled with the pink mist. Killing Sadie and burning the body, just as it had killed the other townie.

"

That's enough.

" Steven was furious, his glow illuminated the city but nothing phased this gem. When he hit her she laughed.

"You couldn't even defeat a Jasper, not only that you're becoming corrupted! You will never, be me." Steven continued attacking but nothing came of it.

A flash of light followed by the stomping of heavy boots introduced yellow diamond. She bashed into the similarly large gem, knocking her to the ground.

"Who are you!" Yellow extended her hand producing bolts of lightning. The gem's form, nonetheless, didn't immediately dissipate.

"Steven, are you ok!" Blue rushes over grabbing the boy much to his dismay.

"That was... two questions." She smiled, snapping her fingers.

"NO!" Steven's voice echoed as the mist once again filled the orbs, killing buck and dewy burning the body afterward.

"That's far more than enough." White in all her glory gazed towards the gem, sapping away her very essence, stealing her color, rending her immobile. This was enough for yellow to finish her off, leaving behind her large gemstone. As yellow bubbled the gem, Steven roared from afar.

"That's not enough, shatter her!" All the diamonds turned towards Steven, taken aback by what he had just said.

B: "Steven we can't do that!"

Y: "Think about everything you taught us!"

W: "Steven, you of all people should know about retribution, you've taught us all!" White seemed sincerer, her voice did not falter.

"She killed people, they don't have any chance of coming back she burned their bodies! Steven was hysterical, nearly foaming from the mouth. He looked around frantically, his motions were completely erratic. That was until a projection appeared, it was Eyeball.

"Hello Steven Universe, if you would please gather your attention towards the monitor!" Another projection appeared, this one completely black. It soon showed a projection of both Onion and Connie hanging upside-down.

"What is this!" Yellow questioned the lone ruby.

"I'm sorry, you don't have the authority to ask that question! Ruby laughed hysterically.

"You have five seconds to choose Steven Universe, which one will live!" Nearly immediately he began to blurt out.

"Onion please, oh god don't hurt him." The diamonds could do nothing but watch as Connie was lowered, but she stood to her own feet.

"You wanna know something fascinating about this human, Steven?" Aquamarine's voice peaked.

"We came to find you, and she was broken! Insisted she wasn't fighting for you anymore. it only took a little convincing and she was in our hands!" Connie looked towards Onion.

"Please! Connie don't do this!" Steven looked towards the diamonds, who were trying to destroy this monolith like ship.

"You let me keep loving you for so long..." Connie retrieved a sword from a gem who stood in the background. Onion quickly turned facing the recording device as it zoomed in on his face. His eyes screamed, he was afraid, Steven gazed in shock as she stabbed him. Blood flowed down his face, when she pulled the blade she slashed again, and again.

Steven dropped, his body limp in blue's hand. 
 
 (White Diamond's PoV)
 
 Steven must be very caring for these small creatures, it would seem he fainted... What's happening she thought, no, this can't be. She watched in awe as Steven floated from blue's hand. His body began to shake as he grew, he was... a monster! Larger than all the diamonds, his body resembling Godzilla. Spiked formed down his back, horns protruded from his head, a tail whipped in the air creating an enormous gust of wind. His aura spread across miles.

"White, what's happening!" Blue turned to white, hoping for an answer.

"I-I don't know!" White was flabbergasted, something like this had never happened, let alone in front of her.

It bashed at the monolith with all his might, repeatedly. It screeched and wailed, all it's efforts to no avail. All the while Ruby and Aquamarine laughed from within.

"We've bested the mighty Steven Universe, look at him reduced to nothing but a weak corrupted mess!" The creature stopped, it stood fully and screamed into the air. Yellow, Blue, and White fell to their knees, the dome of water fell, from it flew a slew of strange corrupted creatures, each of various sizes and shapes. Most distinct was a flying sea serpent creature, clouds would follow it as it leads the charge towards the monolith.

"Um, Ruby is this bad?" Aquamarine's voice shuddered.

"We're fine... Our shield should keep them out." Ruby was uncertain, but her gem dropped when she felt the ship tremble. The full force of an army bared down on the ship's shields.

"I thought we harvested enough gems to power this old thing for years!" Ruby was frightened, the projection began to fade out. Connie would stand motionless on the other display, as everything shook around her. The ship's engines were slow to activate, the shields were far gone before they began to escape, but the monster was ready. It opened it's mouth firing off a blast of pink light that ate away at the engines of the ship.
 
 "Hey! You weakling!" From afar a cloaked figure's voice caught the monster's ears. When it turned, it squinted and ran for it as the creatures continued to take down the ship. The cloaked figure stood motionless as it barreled forth, consuming everything in its path, but when it reached the figure it stopped.

"Have lost your mind? I told you once, you're not my diamond, but you're certainly not a monster!" Off with her cloak Jasper, stood staring down the barrel of a shotgun.

"So you're just going to let all of your friends die!" Jasper pointed towards the ship. The monster roared, but jasper slapped it.

"Don't you roar at me! Not until you saved your friends!" Jasper's mind was fixated, she wasn't surprised when it tackled her. She took a deep breath.

"Every time when I look in the mirror,

All these lines on my face getting clearer,

The past is gone!"

Jasper was singing, every line, every pitch. she sang and, as the monster attacked it slowed.

Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing with me, just for today

The monster stopped, it knelt at Jasper's feet. It sat quietly waiting for her to continue. But when she stopped singing, it was surprised.

"Steven, if you want your dreams to come true, you need to stop this." She pointed towards the falling monolith. The monster began to change, it thrashed around as the light dispersed into the air leaving behind a floating Steven. Pure in his pink hue, hair in constant motion.

"Thank you, Jasper." Steven looked down at Jasper with glistening eyes filled with diamonds.

"Get out of my face." Jasper scoffed and walked away. It seemed nothing had changed, but Steven was content.

When Steven flew over to the ship it was moments away from crashing into the ground. He lifted a finger, it became suspended in the air. He pulled back his fist and smashed into the hull, he walked through it. He searched and found gems embedded in the engine room walls when he pulled them free, he had them levitate behind as he continued. He stepped into the control room, there floated Ruby and Aquamarine.

"Please let us go, we didn't plan any of this!" Ruby screamed pleading with every step Steven would take.

"Of course you two didn't, your not competent enough." Steven stood before them both.

"Steven Universe we w-" Steven cuts her off thrusting, grabbing both of their gems and poofing them both. He felt his heart drop as he approached his last stop. When he opened the door and saw Connie standing he almost snapped.

"Hello, Steven." Connie froze in Steven's stasis field as the rest of the ship had.

"I'm ready." Connie was calm.

"No, you're not." Steven trudged towards Connie.

"You'll never forget this Steven, it's over for me. You're knight killed your king." Steven lurched above her. His eyes distant, she didn't blink.

"I won't but you will." Steven pressed his thumbs on Connie's temple.

"I wish, they burned him too." She closed her eyes, ready to accept death. However, Steven had a better plan, he erased every trace of his and Onion's relationship, to her they had never met, along with other various information she was a blank slate.

"S-Steven, where are we!" Connie gasped, she tried to turn but couldn't.

"What's going on!"

"I'll explain later." Steven walked to Onion, his body was still warm. Connie continued to question everything as she couldn't see what was happening. She stopped when Steven bellowed, each tear had a defined sound, as a cascade tears fell. Slowly, a pink glow encapsulated Onion. When his eyes opened, he was elated.

"Steven!" Onion shouted, though much to his anxiety he heard Connie question.

"Who is that?" Onion studied at Steven when Connie continued to question the voice. He leaned in and whispered to Onion.

"I wiped her mind, let's just continue." Onion nodded, but Steven knew he would never trust her again, he didn't himself.

When Steven exited the ship, he lowered it gently as to not ruin anything else. He walked out with all the gemstones floating behind him, Onion in his arms, and Connie walking beside him. It seemed that all the gems had reverted to how they were originally as well.

"Steven, are you ok!" All the diamonds spoke in unison. Dropping to the ground to face him.

"I'm fine guys..." Steven floated all the gems over to the soft grass to them reform, the first would be Ruby followed by Sapphire.

3 days later.

"Steven, I never did ask?" Connie stood on the other side of the room inside the refrigerator.

"Ask what Connie?" Steven sat up, baby on his chest still asleep.

"Who's baby?" Connie felt cold, and when she turned around, Steven was staring at her with his diamond eyes.

"Never, ask that question again." Connie tasted iron on her tongue, she only had one response.

"Yes, sir"

I had to draw the baby XD.
