"The Crystal who?" Beast Boy questioned after a brief moment of silence.

"We are the Crystal gems!" Steven cheered. "We always save the day. That's Garnet." He said, pointing towards the largest of the three women. She gave them a stiff nod as acknowledgement. "This is Amethyst."

"Yo." Said the purple one, cracking her whip.

"And that's Pearl." He said, pointing at the tall woman, who stuck her nose up in disgust. "And I'm Steven! We save the world from aliens and stuff." He said matter-of-fact.

"Well, we're the Teen Titans. I'm sure you've heard of us." Robin stated, holding out his hand towards the boy. Steven shook it, but there was obvious confusion in his eyes. Robin noticed this and glanced at the rest of the Crystal gems, who had the same oblivious look in their eyes.

"I don't think they've heard of us." Raven deadpanned.

"Right." Robin sighed, letting go of the boy's hand. "Well I'm Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans."

"I'm Beast Boy. But you can call me Beast Man." Beast Boy giggled, holding up a peace sign.

"The names Cyborg." The half-robot said with a smirk. "If you got any machine problems I'm your man."

"I am Starfire and I am pleased to have made new friends so soon!" Starfire gushed, flying into the air and twirling.

"I was not aware that humans can fly." Pear whispered to Garnet, who shrugged.

"Raven." The empath stated. Her eyes slanted dangerously as she looked at the opposing group. "Don't get on my bad side." She growled.

"That's my Rae-Rae. Always the jokester." Beast Boy laughed, wrapping her into a hug before she could refuse. Despite her hisses and threats from her, Beast Boy did not let go. It wasn't until black tendrils grabbed the green teen by the ankle and threw him into the ocean was Raven finally free.

The Crystal Gems seemed shocked by this display of power. All except for Steven, who found their antics hilarious. A few seconds later, a green seagal appeared, soaking wet. It then transformed back to Beast Boy, who had a scowl on his face.

"Not cool!" He whined. Even Steven was at lost for words once they saw the transformation.

"Um…" Amethyst said, slowly gathering her teammates. "Can we have a moment, please." Not even waiting for a response, the group got into a huddle, closing off the titans.

"They're definitely not human." Garnet stated.

"Maybe...they're a new breed of gem? But...I didn't see a gemstone." Pearl whispered.

"If they're from homeworld, why would they be on Earth. Why aren't they attacking." Amethyst question.

"I like them." Steven giggled. "They seem friendly."

"I don't think we should trust them. They were going to shatter that gem." Pearl hissed.

"Maybe they just didn't know." Amethyst shrugged.

"Why don't we invite them to dinner?" Steven proposed.

"Absolutely no-" Pearl tried to argue, only to be interrupted.

"Hey guys! You wanna come eat dinner with us! We're having hot dogs!" Steven yelled, poking his head out of the small huddle. The Titans exchanged glances and shrugged.

"As long as there's no tofu dogs, I'm down." Cyborg cheered. Steven grinned and left the group to go talk to the tin man. Cyborg had crouched down to his level and high-fived the boy as they talked about the best kinds of hot dogs. Starfire and Raven had joined them to indulge in the conversation at some point.

Pearl crossed her arms, frowning. She then turned on her heel and began trekking through the sand away from the group. Robin made his way up to Garnet, cocking his head to the side.

"I hope we're not imposing or anything." Robin sighed.

"Pearl is...complicated." Garnet stated, turning towards the leader. "I can see you have good intentions. I hope you don't let us down." She then walked away, leaving Robin confused.

Amethyst had made her way over to Beast Boy, who was still trying to get water out of his ears.

"So you can shapeshift?' she asked. Beast Boy paused, looking at the purple gem. He then placed his hands on his hips, proudly.

"Any animal you want!" He grinned.

"Can you do this?" In a split second, there was a purple car driving in circles around him. Beast Boy's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands excitedly.

"Dude, that's so cool!" Beast Boy cheered, wiping his eyes. "I can tell we're going to be good friends." Amethyst returned back to her normal gemsona and grinned.

"Guy's let's go before the food gets cold!" Steven yelled. The titans agreed and followed Steven and Amethyst to their beach house on the far end of the beach.

"Friends, your house is most adorable." Starfire cooed, floating up the stairs.

"Uh...thanks?" Amethyst said, holding open the screen door for the group to enter. Garnet was in the kitchen, a chef's hat sitting comically on her hair. She was holding a tray of hot dogs with her bare hands.

"Welcome." She stated. Pearl was in the corner, leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. Upon their entrance, she stuck her nose up into the air.

"Sorry there aren't enough chairs." Steven apologized. "If you want, some of you can eat on my bed."

"No problem, little man." Cyborg laughed. "I'm sure Beast Boy would have not problem eating on the floor. He sleeps in a box, after all."

"Dude!" Beast Boy whined, making Steven giggled.

"Thank you for having us." Robin said.

"You guys are pretty cool so we don't mind." Amethyst said, hopping onto the counter and grabbing a hot dog off of the tray. After everyone got their plate of food, they all circled around the coffee table to enjoy there meal together. All except for Pearl.

"Is friend Pearl not joining us for the meal of burning dogs?" Starfire asked, seeing how Pearl had yet to leave her corner.

"Pearl doesn't like to eat." Steven shrugged. The Titans gave each other weird glances.

"You mean she doesn't eat at all?" Robin asked.

"Gems do not require food to live." Garnet stated.

"Gems? As in...you're from homeworld?" Starfire gasped. The gems nodded. "I see...I just remembered that such creatures existed. The homeworld gems have been off the map for so long."

"What's Homeworld?" Raven asked.

"Homeworld is known for destroying planets to make their own stronger. They came to Tameran once, thousands of years ago, but left for unknown reasons. Ever since the war on Homeworld, however, they had stop making appearances on other planets." Starfire concluded.

The room went deathly quiet. The gems were staring from one to another with wide eyes. The Titans were trying to wrap their heads around the situation. Suddenly, Robin jumped up, his bow staff pointed at Garnet.

"So you're trying to destroy the Earth, huh?" Robin accused. Suddenly, everyone was on their feet, ready to defend if someone were to attack. Starfire quickly flew to her leader, pushing his staff away.

"You are misunderstanding!" Starfire cried. "They are the group of rebels who caused the gem wars in an attempt to save the Earth." She then turned to the gems and bowed. "I thank you for your services."

"Ah, no problem dude." Amethyst said, putting away her whip. Robin also put away his weapon.

"I'm sorry for jumping to conclusion." Robin apologized. Soon, everyone had calmed down enough to take a seat.

"So let me guess. You can never return to Homeworld?" Cyborg asked.

"If we do, our gems will be shattered." steven said. Showing them a pink gemstone where his navel should be. "It's the only way a gem can be destroyed."

"That thing on the beach then. It was a gem, too?" Raven asked.

"Yes," Pearl suddenly spoke up, marching towards the group. Her hands were bawled into fists and her face was turning a deeper shade of red. "It was a gem and you tried to shatter it." She then turned to Garnet, pointing an accusing finger at the group of teens. "How could you let these people into our home? They almost shattered a gem!" Pearl screamed.

"Pearl, they didn't know." Garnet said calmly, yet with a sternness in her voice. Pearl looked away, closing her eyes.

"I don't trust them, and you shouldn't either." She growled. She then ran towards the portal. Before anyone can stop her, the portal had lit up and she was gone. Amethyst sighed, standing up.

"I'll go talk her." Amethyst drawled, walking towards the portal. In mere seconds, she had disappeared.

"I apologize for her behavior. She can get emotional at times." Garnet sighed.

"No offense, but if that was a gem, why did it look like that." Beast Boy asked.

"It was corrupted. Homeworld has a new project of mutating gems in an attempt to make them stronger, but something bad happens to them." Steven said sadly. "They lose any memories of what they once were and become what you saw. There's no way of reversing it. The best thing we can do is bubble them so they can't hurt anyone."

"That's terrible." Starfire cried.

"We may have won the war, but it's not over. Homeworld is planning something. Bigger than the cluster." Garnet said, bowing her head. Steven nodded in agreement. "These corrupt gems are becoming more and more frequent. We must prepare for anything they have to throw at us."

"If Homeworld is looking for a fight," Cyborg said, standing up.

"Then we'll be glad to help." Robin finished. Garnet looked up to see the five teens standing with confident smiles on their faces.

"Yes! Garnet, please!" Steven begged. Garnet looked from the team in front of her to steven and shrugged.

"I don't see why not." She said with a ghost of a smile. Cheers filled the room as they celebrated their new alliance.

"Sweet!" Beast Boy said, dancing around the room. "Saving the world one gem at a time, that's what we do-AH!" Beast Boy jumped as he felt himself step on something followed by a roar. He stumbled backwards and was surprised to see a pink lion in front of him with an annoyed expression. "Dude, you have a pink lion? Can things get any weirder?"

Throughout the room, laughter could be heard. Homeworld would not know what hit them.

Ok, first of all I would just like to say- I can not believe the amount of feedback I got on this story! I did not think this many people would like this idea and I'm honestly shook. Thank you so much for the support.

I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. I had no intentions on picking this story back up. I just couldn't see myself carrying on this story in a way that would make sense. I don't know where I was originally going with this story, and now with the recent episodes I find it hard to come up with an original plot (Curse you Rebecca sugar for being so darn talented!). But you guys really inspired me to give this story another shot. I don't think I ever have so much feedback from just one chapter of fic!

So, yeah...I have no clue what I'm doing, but pm me any ideas that you have. I don't want to get into too much what the recent episodes exposed (which I could go on and on about how suspenseful they were). I know it's been forever since I published this story, and I hope people are still willing to read it after so long.

Thanks lovelies, and don't forget to review!
