((So I was having a Steven Universe marathon with my little brother and that was literally the first time I even laid eyes on that show. Yeah it started off kinda silly but it actually turned into something I enjoy watching. I mean after a while I was telling him to hurry up and put on the next one. Then it got me thinking. Earth was ground zero for this huge war right? Other than the Crystal Gems, corrupted gems, and the gems on Homeworld that come to earth are there any other gems around? If there are, did any of them give up their physical form for a child like Rose? And of course that thought was just fuel for me. So let's see how this turns out))

((I'm gonna start this story a little while before Steven learned to pull his shield out at will))

A short young man sat cross-legged on the shore on Beach City. This boy was Steven Universe. The son of Rose Quartz, a great warrior from another planet who fought for earth. For the moment Steven was trying to activate his gem and pull out his mother's shield

"Concentrate... Concentrate...! Concentrate! And shield!" Steven yeld as he surrounded himself in a pink bubble "Darn it! Maybe I need some brain food to help me focus better"

With that in mind Steven decided to pay his friend a visit at the local doughnut shop. Steven's walk was soon interrupted when the ground started shaking wildly. Without warning an enormous beetle like creature bursted out of the ground

"Wah!" Steven yelled as he was sent flying and stuck himself inside a bubble as a reflex

The beetle crawled up and tired to bite threw Steven's bubble

"No! Stay back!" Steven demanded trying to keep the bubble from popping

Beetle bit down as hard as it could and popped the bubble but Steven managed to get away before getting eaten and dive in a crack in the mountain

"Hey ugly! Don't think you got away from me!" a voice yelled out

Three individuals, two boys and a girl, were standing on the other side of the beach. They didn't look like anything special. The boy who insulted the beetle was a little taller than average with tan skin was wearing a red tank-top, and black jean shorts. The other boy was was a little shorter. He was wearing glasses, a green button up shirt, and a fingerless glove on his left hand. The girl was the shortest out of the three. Her light brown hair covering half her face wearing, a pink sweater, and a skirt

"It's dangerous here! Run!" Steven yelled at them

"Relax kid we came to help you" the tanned skin boy said

The girl took off and charged at the beetle. The beetle faced her and shot a huge amount of purple fire out of it's mouth but she jumped in the air to dodge her. The girl lifted her right sleeve to reveal a yellow gem bellow her shoulder

"She's a Gem?!" Steven gasped

The girl placed her hand over the gem causing it to glow and pulled out a large spiked club. She flipped in the air and smacked the beetle on the top of it's head making it stagger

"I got a bone to pick with that thing too!" the boy in glasses said stepping up and taking off his glove, showing the blue gem on the back of his hand "Try my fire you freak!"

The boy made a fist, kneeled down and grabbed his left arm with his right hand. The gem glowed and fired a blue laser and sent the beetle flying

"I don't understand..." Steven mumbled

"Nice" the tan boy smiled "But leave some for me man"

The boy stepped up and stuck his hand in the back of his shirt. There was a white flash and the boy was suddenly holding a katana with a rectangular blade

"You can have the first move Beetle Boy" he smirked

The beetle started blasting purple fireballs rapidly. The boy was just slowly walking foward and deflecting the fireballs like they were nothing. That seemed to frighten the creature because it backed up

"You done? Good" the boy grinned as he dashed foward and cut the monster down

The beetle popped and was reduced to nothing more than an unactive gem

The tan boy put the gem in a small white bubble and sent it away "Another one bites the dust"

Steven was still sitting in the ground trying to process all of this. The girl walked up and held out her hand to help him up. Steven brought himself back to reality and walked over to the boys

"Man that thing was annoying" the tanned boy groaned still holding his katana

"You said it... We chased it for so long I don't even know where we are anymore" the other one commented

"Beach City" Steven annouced

"Huh?" both boys questioned

"You're in Beach City. I live here" Steven smiled

"Well sorry about the disturbance. You okay kid?"

"I'm fine" Steven answered

"Well we guess we owe you an explanation" the tanned boy said while getting rid of his katana "I'm Onyx. Four-eyes over there is Topaz and she's Citrine. You're probably wondering what that monster was"

"It was a corrupted gem" Steven said

"Uhh... yeah actually" Onyx said confused "Well you might wanna know how we pulled out those weapons"

"From your gems" Steven answered again

"Did someone beat us here?" Onyx asked his friends

"How do you know all this?" Topaz asked

He lifted his shirt to show his gem "My name's Steven by the way"

"You're... like us?" Onyx gasped

"Steven was your mother a gem?" Topaz asked

"Yeah. Her name was Rose Quartz" Steven answered

"Rose Quartz?! The Rose Quartz?!" Onyx yelled

"Steven you probably figured this out already but we're half gems like you" Topaz smiled "Wow... never met another one outside of us before. Well it's nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too" Steven smiled

Out of nowhere three women fell form the sky, one was very tall with large gauntlets, one was short with purple skin holding a whip, the last one had pale skin and was holding a spear

"Whoa!" Onyx gasped as he pushed Steven behind him and pulling out his katana "Who are these guys?!"

"Steven are you okay?!" the pale skin women asked

"I'm okay" Steven answered his friend

"You know these guys?" Onyx asked

Steven introduced the three the women as his friends Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst

Onyx smirked and spun his sword "Well this day is just fool of surprises"

"That katana..." Pearl mumbled

"What about it?" Oynx asked

"It belongs to Agate" she replied

"You know my mom?" Oynx said stunned

All of the gems went back to Steven's home to talk. Pearl explained that Rose and Agate were once friends and fought together during the war until one day Agate just disappeared

"So our moms knew each other huh? Small world..." Onyx mumbled "What was my mom like?"

"Agate was a strong independent warrior. During their first encounter Rose and Agate fought each other into a draw. I'm not sure how but that actually made them respect each other. Agate's only flaw was her desire to fight. She always rushed into battle without a plan or hesitation. But that's who she was so we all accepted. Agate even led her own resistance like Rose"

"The Gem Elites right?" Topaz asked "That's what our dads told us. That mine and Citrine's moms worked with Agate"

"Yes" Pearl nodded "The Gem Elites were very skilled. It was rare to see a single scratch on them when they came back from battle. But jsut like Agate they disappeared"

"Now we know where they went" Garnet commented "Like Rose they started their own families"

Onyx walked up to Steven and held out his hand "Since our moms were friends there's no excuse why we can't be friends too"

Steven smiled and shook his hand

"Well any friends of Steven's are friends of ours" Pearl smiled and walked over to Citrine "It's very nice to meet you"

Citrine got nervous and hid behind Topaz

"Something wrong?" Pearl wondered

"Don't mind her. She's shy around new people. And she doesn't talk much to begin with so new people just makes her talk even less" Onyx said

"People always kinda shunned us for our gifts so after a while we just decided to keep to ourselves" Topaz explained "We'll always help people but we don't attention"

"Yeah and if I have to hear one more person calls us freaks I'm gonna loose it!" Oynx declared

"Yeah a lot of people call me weird too. But a lot of people nice my gift as well and that helps me forget all the bad stuff" Steven announced

Oynx smiled "You're a good kid Steven. And sorry about getting you wrapped up in our little fight earlier. That thing took off the second we showed up and we followed it here"

"It's okay. Stuff like that happens to me a lot" Steven shrugged

"I hear that. But I still feel kinda bad so how bout we give you a tour of our temple to make it up to you? You guys can come too" Oynx offered

"Really?" Steven smiled

"Sure" Topaz said "It's the less we can do"

"You even have a Warp Pad. That'll makess thing easier" Oynx smirked stepping on the teleporter "You coming or what?"

Topaz and Citrine stepped on the pad and gestured the others over. The Crystal Gems walked on with them. The pad glowed brightly and they were transported to a huge building with the Warp Pad in the building

"Whoa!" Steven gasped "You live here?!"

"No this is just the living room. Our rooms are in there" Topaz said pointed to a door with circle with four dots on it

"Wow..." Steven said looking around

Oynx walked off the Warp Pad and gestured to the whole room "Welcome to the temple of the Gem Elites!"
