That's right, it's the moment you've al been waiting for. Since there's a huge hype for the finale of season four of Steven Universe, I decided to get off my procrastinating butt and write the story. If you don't know what's going on, I would recommend that you read my other story about Ed, Edd n Eddy crossovers. So I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave a review, remember I'm still new.
I don't own Ed, Edd n Eddy or Steven Universe.
Chapter 1: Her name is Afghanite
There she was, this strange blue girl shivering in the corner. And in front her were the three intruders that broke into her ship. Ed, Edd n Eddy. Double-D and Eddy just looked at each other, not sure if what they're seeing is real. Ed however couldn't be more excited, stars were glowing in his eyes as he stared at the young women. Ed started to get giddy and began hopping up and down, this however made the girl more paranoid.
"Stay back!" Screamed the girl, she then placed her left hand on the gem and suddenly her arm started to glow. When the light faded it was revealed that she had some kind of blaster on her left arm, and she was pointing it towards the Eds. This action was so quick it caught the Eds off-guard, Double-D and Eddy threw there arms into the air.
"Woah don't shoot, we didn't do anything yet." Said Eddy trying to plead with the girl.
"Indeed miss, let us explain our…."
"Awesome, she also has a Mega Buster just like Megaman! You're so cool!" Double-D's sentence was interrupted by the enthusiastic Ed, who is now even more excited than before. Eddy than quickly grabbed Ed's mouth and tried to keep it closed.
"Shut up lumpy, you're freaking it out." Exclaimed Eddy. Double-D then proceeded to slowly walk towards the girl. The girl was still aiming her shaking arm cannon towards them. Double-D stopped a few feet in front of her, with his arms still in the air.
"We mean you no harm, please put your weapon away." Said Double-D in a calm soft voice. The girl never broke eye contact and she didn't lower her cannon.
"I'm sure that you're scared and confused, but we are as well. So please, lower your weapon. We can talk like civilized people." Double-D continued, hoping she would listen. Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf hears.
"No! Get out! Get out of my ship!"
BOOM
After her sentence she started to fire laser blasts at them. All three Eds ducked and dodged the oncoming blasts. They quickly ran out the entrance they made earlier. Following right behind them, the blue girl was still firing until the Eds were out of the ship. She then pressed a button on the wall that caused two metal doors to close behind the Eds. After hearing the sound, all three Eds turned around to see that they were locked out. Eddy then turn towards Double-D.
"Way to go Sockhead, that couldn't have gone better." Exclaimed Eddy with a sarcastic smile.
"Eddy please not now." Responded Double-D.
"Well what did you think was gonna happen? That thing had a freaking cannon, it was going to shoot us ether way." Eddy explained how useless Double-D's efforts were to reason with the alien.
"Eddy don't talk about her like that. She clearly has feelings and emotions. She was just scared, that's all. Who knows how long she was in that bubble." Exclaimed Double-D.
"Just my luck, first I lost my quarter to a bird, and now I was almost blasted by a crazy alien. Did I leave anything out?" Said Eddy in an annoyed tone.
"Oh oh oh, you also fell down in a deep hole." Answered Ed with a goofy expression.
"Eddy can't you see what's transpiring here. We found a living being unbeknownst to science. Just imagine what we could learn about their species, and about the cosmos. All we have to do is try to communicate with her, then we can…."
"No way, I'm done for today. I don't have time for anymore craziness today, come on boys let's go." Double-D's sentence was interrupted by Eddy's. Double-D then turned his attention to the giant doors. He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he decided to leave with Ed and Eddy. He couldn't stay long because his parents were strict with his curfew. Even thought they weren't always around, he was too disciplined to break their rules. All three Eds then went back to the entrance of the cave, they eventually crawled out of the hole by using tree roots that were in the dirt walls.
Meanwhile back at the ship, the girl placed her ear against the giant door. Listening if the intruders had finally left. After a few minutes of complete silence, she let out a sigh of relieve and made her weapon disappear. The alien then turned around and walked down a long hallway, passing by multiple rooms. Down the hallway was a huge room with multiple monitors on the walls. She went to the panel in the center of the room, then she cleared her throat.
"Computer log on, code 10100 Afghanite." Said the alien, then suddenly all the monitors in the room went on.
"Computer, status report." Exclaimed the alien.
"The ship has crashed in an unknown location on planet 0295 of sector G. The impact of the crash has destroyed the engine and thrusters, however the ship's power supply was unaffected. The ship seems to be buried under several tons of this planet's soil." Responded the computer. The alien then let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I'm on the right planet. So those things I saw earlier, were humans? Mmmhhh, no snap out of it, you need to call for help. Computer, contact Pink Diamond." Exclaimed the alien.
"Direct communication with Pink Diamond is not possible."
"What !? How is that possible?" The alien asked with confusion.
"The direct network towards Pink Diamond does not exist anymore." Answered the computer.
"Then contact one of the gem bases here on the planet, there must be someone from the kindergartens that can help." The alien's tone becamed more worried and scared.
"Not possible, all communication networks on the planet are no longer active." Replied the computer.
"No longer act….. Computer, when was my last log date entry?" Asked the alien.
"The last log date recorded before the crash was 5897 years ago." Answered the computer. The alien's face just went pale, and she collapsed on her knees.
'That long? What happened while I was in stasis?' So many thoughts and questions went through her head, but there was one question she had to ask.
"Computer, can you contact Homeworld?" The alien asked with so much sadness in her voice.
"No, our frequency is too weak. Our signal cannot reach home." Replied the computer. The girl then grabbed both her arms and started to shake.
"I, can't, go home?" With those words, a tear fell from her eye.
(a few days later)
The Eds were trying to live there lives like they normally did, before the encounter. Eddy tried to forget the whole thing because he wasn't interested in it. Ed kept asking Double-D and Eddy if they could go see the alien again. Eddy kept refusing Ed's request, Double-D did as well. But secretly after school, Double-D would go to the alien everyday and try to communicate with her. He'd been using a rope he found in his garage to climb up and down the hole. It took all his stamina to do this, but he believed it was worth it. Today was no exception, after school Double-D told Eddy he had to stay behind and help the teacher's with office work. Eddy just shrugged it off, and he went home with Ed. When his friends were out of sight, Double-D immediately ran to the forest.
(Meanwhile at the space ship)
The alien was sitting on the floor with her back against the door. She held her knees to her chest, and was crying. Her thoughts would be interrupted by a loud knocking.
BANG BANG BANG
"Um, excuse me. It's me Eddward, again." Said Double-D with his polite tone. His presence however caused the girl to groan in annoyance.
"You again? I don't want to talk to you." Said the girl in an irritated tone. Double-D however just placed his schoolbag and sat against the closed door, like he normally did for the past few days. Sometimes there were no words exchanged between them, but that didn't stop Double-D from trying.
"Now what shall we discuss today? How about, entertainment? Here on Earth we humans have many things to amuse ourselves with. My favourite source of entertainment is books. There's just something special about reading a story and imagining the events that take place. Now before I continue, to imagine something means to…."
"Your technique is terrible." Exclaimed the alien, stopping Double-D's sentence.
"I beg your pardon?" Double-D asked.
"Your interrogation technique. All you've been doing these past few days is talking about this planet and your life. If you don't improve your approach, you'll never get any information out of me." Explained the alien.
"I'm not interrogating you, I'm trying to have a conversation with you." Replied Double-D.
"And what will that accomplish?" Asked the alien girl.
"You don't have to tell me about your planet, I just wanna know more about you as an individual." Answered Double-D. This answer took her by surprise, why would anyone want to know her personally and not about Homeworld.
"There's still nothing beneficial for you, there is nothing to gain by knowing who I am." Exclaimed the blue skinned girl.
"What I want, is your trust. Yes I would like to know more about your planet, but I mostly want to know you better." Replied Double-D.
"You humans are so annoying. Fine, you want to know something. I was given one purpose, but know I can't fulfill that purpose because I'm trapped here! There's no way to go home! I can't contact anybody! I'm feel so alone! You would never understand! Now just stop talking to me!" Said the girl with her eyes overflowing with tears. The air was dead silent, all Double-D could hear was her sobbing from the other side.
"I understand how it feels to be alone. Ever since I could remember, I was always the smartest kid in the class. Because of that, I felt separated from everyone. I felt, different. And my parents are never around, I've actually forgotten how the warmth of my mother's hugs feel like." While Double-D is talking, the girl picked up her head to listen carefully. After that last sentence, Double-D wiped a tear from his eye before continuing.
"I might not know how you feel exactly, but I do know how it feels to be alone. Utterly, and greatly alone. But then there's always that one thing that brings a smile to my face. Well two things actually, my friends. Even though they drive me crazy, they accept me for who I am. They're the light of my life. When ever I'm down, they always pick me up and help me to move forward. Both figuratively and literally, ha ha. Besides my actual parents, I consider them to be my family. They taught me an important lesson. You can lock yourself away from the world; crying everyday and night, hoping that all your problems would fade away. Or you can just lift up your head, and give attention to all the good things around you. I know you miss your home, but please give Earth a chance." After hearing Double-D's story, a small smile grew on the girls face. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of movement. Double-D picked up his schoolbag and was ready to leave.
"Afghanite." Said the girl. This stopped Double-D as he turned around to face the closed door.
"My name. My name is, Afghanite." Said Afghanite hesitantly. This made Double-D happy, as he grew smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Afghanite." Exclaimed Double-D before leaving. Afghanite blew a sigh of relief, feeling that some of her stress has melted away.
(the next morning)
Eddy was busy getting his books for first period from his locker. Johnny walked by holding his best pal plank as usual. When he noticed Eddy, he quickly asked Eddy about something.
"Hey Eddy, why does Double-D keep going into the forest? Is there a school project we forgot about again? If there is, boy we could use your…"
"Woah there Johnny boy. Did you just say that Sockhead keeps going into the forest?" Eddy asked Johnny.
"Yup, everyday after school. Why; don't you know about it?" Answered Johnny. Eddy felt a little rage being build up inside, but also this feeling of being proud.
"I really am rubbing off on him." Exclaimed Eddy.
(Meanwhile)
Afghanite had decided that she's going to explore the planet. Something she really wanted to do, but was too afraid. She made her way to the rope and started climbing, she was finally going to see the reason why Pink Diamond chose this planet. Afghanite finally made her way to the surface, and what she saw took her breath away. There surrounding her were trees, their leaves were all shades of orange. And when she walked, she could hear the soft cracking of the leaves at her feet. She bent down and picked up a leaf, she had never felt this kind of texture. Then came a cool breeze through her hair, and of in the distance little birds could be heard chirping. She tried to take all of this in, but everything was so overwhelmingly beautiful. Afghanite then looked at the leaf and smiled.
"Maybe there is some beauty on planet." She said to herself.
But what she didn't know, was that she wasn't alone.
(later)
School had just finished and Double-D was on his way to Afghanite. When suddenly two figures jumped in front of him.
"Hey Sockhead, where ya heading?" It is revealed that the two figures were his friends, Ed and Eddy.
"Uh..Fellows. What brings you here?" Double-D asked, trying to sound calm.
"We wanna see the alien too Double-D." Ed answered with much excitement. Double-D started to sweat nervously.
"Wh…what do you mean Ed?" Double-D asked with a shaking voice.
"Don't play dumb Double-D, that Ed's job. I know you've been seeing the alien behind our backs. You might as well fess up." Exclaimed Eddy, pressuring Double-D for answers.
"W..we….well actually, you see…."
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Suddenly loud explosions were heard in the distance. All the Eds looked towards that, Double-D immediately became worried. He quickly ran towards the explosions leaving Ed and Eddy behind.
"Hey, we're not done yet! Get back here!" Screamed Eddy.
"Trouble, bad, must help." And with that Ed followed Double-D.
"Ed, what are you doing!? Why isn't anybody listening to me today!?" Screamed Eddy, now chasing after his friends. Double-D arrived at the source of the noise, and he saw Afghanite on the ground with her back against a tree. She was severely hurt and was out of breath. Before Double-D could ask why, his answer appeared in front of him. From the dust came a giant green spider, and his eye was a green gem.
"Double-D what is that?" Double-D's thought were interrupted by Ed. Before he could answer, Eddy finally caught up.
"No more running Sockhead , you'd better explain yourself right…" Ed then grabbed Eddy's head and turned it towards the giant monster. For once in his life, Eddy was speechless. The spider was crawling closer and closer to Afghanite. She tried to pick up her cannon, but she was too weak. Double-D, acting on instinct quickly pulled out his slingshot from his backpack.
"Sockhead what are you doing." Eddy asked.
"I have to help her Eddy." Double-D answered.
"Double-D we're cowards, not heroes. And besides it's just an alien." Exclaimed Eddy.
"She is a person Eddy, and I am not going to sit by watch someone die!" Screamed Double-D.
The monster was now just a few inches away from her face. Ready to bite at any moment, until.
THUD
A small rock made contact with the creature's head. It rubbed the sore spot with one of its legs, and then it turned its attention to the three boys.
"Come and get me you stupid arachnid!" Double-D screamed while flailing his arms around, before running away. The monster let out a horrific roar and gave chase to Double-D.
"Double-D!"
"Sockhead!"
"Eddward!"
Double-D was running as fast as he could, hoping to lose the monster. But unfortunately the monster is incredibly fast for its massive size. No matter how many turns he did, Double-D couldn't lose the monster. And the monster was getting closer and closer. Suddenly Double-D tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. He turned around and saw the creature was right above, baring its huge fangs. There was no escape, except death.
"Be gone with you disgusting creepy crawly of the night." Suddenly Ed appeared with a huge tree in his arms. Using his mighty strength he swung that tree like a baseball bat and sent the monster flying. After that amazing feat, Eddy walked towards Double-D and gave him his hand. He helped him up and dusted off his shoulders.
"Eddy, you guys saved me." Said Double-D with disbelief.
"Of course we did, we're friends aren't we?" Replied Eddy to his shaken friend.
"Yup, we're like up, up and away." Exclaimed Ed as he grabbed them into a bear hug. The moments was quickly ruined as the monster came into view again. Letting out and angry roar.
"I think its mad Eddy." Said Ed innocently.
The spider then charged towards the Eds with great speed. Ed readied himself for another homerun, until.
BOOM
Poof
The monster turned into a puff of smoke, and all that's left was its gem. The Eds then saw who was responsible, Afghanite was holding up her arm cannon breathing heavily. She was standing a few feet behind the gem, she then walked towards it and made a blue bubble around the gem. She then looked at the Eds and gave them a weak smile before collapsing to the ground.
(a few hours later)
Afghanite slowly began to open up her eyes, and she didn't know where she was.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"You're in my house, try not to move too much." Said a familiar voice. Al the blurry images began to clear up. She was lying down on one of Double-D's couches. She then got herself to sit upright in the couch. Her head felt very heavy and wasn't exactly sure what happened. Afghanite then noticed someone right behind her. It was Ed with a big goofy grin. Afghanite felt uncomfortable with how close he was to her.
"Ed, give her space." Said Double-D as he came into the room with a cup of tea. Afghanite then noticed Eddy sitting on the single couch in the corner of the room. And on the table in front of her was the bubble with the gem in it.
"Here you go." Double-D placed the cup on the table in front of her. Afghanite tilted her head slightly as she lifted up the cup.
"Oh that's tea, it's good for you. We humans like to drink it." Exclaimed Double-D.
"Personally I hate tea, but Sockhead was so insisted of making you some." Said Eddy.
"I have red that humans require sustenance to survive, but we Gems don't require that. Since our bodies are made of light. But it would be rude to refuse such a kind offer." Exclaimed Afghanite, she then took a sip of tea.
"A Gem? Is that what you are?" Eddy asked the blue alien.
"Eddy please don't…"
"It's alright Eddward. I trust you guys." She then gave Double-D a reassuring smile. Double-D then returned a smile and nodded for her to proceed.
