Steven's DC Universe:

Dawn of the Trinity

Prologue

5,000 Years Ago, Africa, Northern Pacific Coast

The area was silent, only the sound of oceans waves filled the air. No birds, no insects, not even wind, the area was quiet. Which was surprising since about 5 minutes ago this area was a raging battleground between two factions. The Earth was torn with weapons of various shapes and sizes lying about or embedded in the ground. What looked like a massive alien battleship laid in a crater ruined and on fire wreckage lying about and small fires scattered about the destroyed landscape along with the twinkling of tiny shards across the battlefield. On the coast in front of the ocean was a massive army thousand strong, the soldiers of this army were all various sizes, shapes, and colors. The only thing similar about all of them is that they all had a gem somewhere on their body, wore a star somewhere on their uniforms, they all looked worn and beaten, and were all very tense from what was in front of them.

Across from them was another army that was a more massive army of gem soldiers though they were more uniform than the military they were cornering. They were made of large brutish soldiers, smaller red ones, and some that were in between. All the soldiers on this army wore a yellow diamond on their bodies. Two saucer esque crafts floated overhead.

And in between both of the armies were a single woman. She had very long and curly pink hair styled in thick, tube-like ringlets, defined lips with a pale pink color, bright-peach skin. She was tall and had a heavy build. She wore a flowing white gown with a star-shaped opening that revealed a circular pink gem. The dress was slightly torn, various scrapes were across her body, she was breathing heavily down on one knee are a broken broadsword laid in front of her along with a tattered pink flag. She looked towards the more massive army with an unwavering but tired glare. She then looked behind to the army that stood behind her, her army the crystal gems. Her name was Rose Quartz leader of the rebel army known as the Crystal Gems, protectors of Earth, and right now this might be the end of all of that.

She focused on the three that stood in front of the army Garnet, Pearl, and one other. She had a large, bulky body type with broad shoulders and a sturdy flat chest where there was an indent that hand a smooth rainbow colored inside. Her hair is styled in several dreadlocks in a mixture of several bright tones, all held back by a lilac headband. She has a periwinkle complexion, and she sports a single tattoo-like marking of a star pattern on her left shoulder. She wore a black apron-like outfit resembling a blacksmith, with a single brownish attachment and a pinkish-red star-shaped belt around her waist. Her pants are a burgundy color, and she has dark brown boots. She and Garnet had worried expressions on their face, while Pearl looked terrified her spear shaking in her grip as her, she looked at Rose with scared eyes. Rose winced at the look and then faced forward trying to pick herself up but failing.

"I-it can't end like this... we've come so far... done so much" Rose panted as she tried to rise to her feet to face the HW army.

"This is bad," Garnet said sweat dripping from her brow fist clenched

"Dammit, how could thing go so south." The larger gem said teeth clenched

"W-we need to do something, Bismuth, Garnet she's out there alone they'll shatter her," Pearl yelled panicked

"You think I don't know that Pearl. But they got us cornered nowhere to run, and if we try retreating to sea, those ships will pick us off easily. Garnet, what are the chances of reinforcements pulling us out of this?" The gem named Bismuth said

"Slim, very slim, we sent so many cracked gems back to base to be healed later, they must know things are going bad. But I fear Homeworld is already prepared for if they come." Garnet said

"Dammit why aren't they doing anything, they're just keeping us here. What are they waiting for?" Bismuth growled looking out to the HW army

"They're waiting for her, she wants to end this personally," Garnet said grimly

"Waiting for Wh… oh no," Pearl said fearfully looking forward

The HW army parted allowing a large Yellow palanquin made its way to Rose. Everybody immediately held their breath knowing very well how it was, Rose to click her tongue in annoyance.

"She came to gloat." Rose thought as the Palanquin stopped before. She used her remain strength to look up at the giant machine.

The yellow curtains parted, and giant high heeled foot stepped onto the ground. The HW soldiers saluted as their leader revealed herself. She towered over everyone, she had a pointed, upturned nose, plump lips, and an unusually long neck. Her hair is a short bob with two spiked tips. She wears a dark yellow and olive bodysuit, as well as a yellow coat with enormous shoulder pads and a cutout for her gemstone. She also wore yellow gloves and olive-yellow boots. She had black eyebrows, and black markings around both her eyes, which are bright yellow with diamond shaped pupils. The imposing figure looked down at Rose with calm and cold eyes staring at her like an insect.

"Y-yellow diamond-huff-what a surprise that-huff-you would honor this lowly quartz with your presence," Rose said in a teasing manner trying to sound confident, but her tiredness was evident

"Save your false bravado, you know how this is going to end." Yellow diamond said coldly arms crossed slightly under her diamond

"I didn't expect your army to attack us as they did, I thought you were going to let Pink handle this?" Rose said

"Pink had her chance and proved my reservations on her colony to be true. I'm here to clean up her mess, so this colony can get back schedule." Yellow said

"You want to take this colony from her?" Rose asked

"I'm not doing this for glory Quartz. I'm doing this, so your ridiculous ideals don't spread to the rest of our race. This whole endeavor is just one bad event to be swept under the rug so that we can go back to our productivity." Yellow said

"Th-this isn't something you can just forget Yellow. This is a movement that all of gem kind will remember. They'll remember that those few who fought against the authority, to be more than what they are, to fight for someone other than themselves, for a people who while different have the ability to be great. They will remember the Crystal Gems, Earth, and what we stood for." Rose said defiantly even with her tiredness you could still hear her unwavering resolve making some of the gems on her side smile

"No, they won't, because every single one of your crystal gems is to be shattered immediately. We start here and then clean up around the planet, also I'll do what Pink should've done when she first came here and clear the planet of those organics you've devoted yourself to. She has enough of them in that Zoo of hers so she'll be satisfied." Yellow said as she uncrossed her arms with an annoyed sigh

"NO, I'M THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS REBELLION, THEY JUST FOLLOWED ME. YOU WANT ME, THEY AND THE HUMANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" Rose yelled

"Oh, I do want you, Rose, you will be brought back to Homeworld and shattered for all to see so that everyone will know what happens when you try to stall the well-oiled machine our world has become. You are to be an example, but we must make sure none of your followers try to start up another rebellion or try to pass on your foolish musing. And the humans are just an annoyance that should've been taken care off early, it was a mistake that Pink won't make in the future." Yellow said her finger stretched out

"I-I won't let you, this-isn't-over!" Rose growled trying to stand but failing

"What you want isn't a factor in my plans. This is over." Yellow said as yellow sparks began to crackle around her hand

"She going to attack we need to do something!" Pearl yelled

"I say we attack with everything we got." Bismuth said with clenched fists

"There is no scenario where that is a good idea." Garnet shot back

"So, what, it's either that or be shattered. I ain't going down without at least punching that yellow tyrant once and this way we have a slim chance, right?" Bismuth asked

"Microscopically slim, but yes. My future vision has been acting up. I feel like I'm missing something." Garnet said confused

"Your probably just nervous that were about to jump into a fight with our planets lightning shooting deity, don't worry its normal. I say you, Pearl and I fuse on go and nail her right in the face. You with us Pearl…. Pearl?" Bismuth asked looking at Pearl who was still staring at the scene her spear tremble in her grip

"Let this be a lesson for all gems who question the Diamonds' leadership," Yellow spoke up, making sure both armies where at her attention as her entire body began to surge with crackling yellow energy raising a single clenched fist

Rose continued to try and stand up and fight to no avail, she wasn't even sure if she could summon her shield. She continued to strain until a voice echoed through her mind

"I can feel the sin on her soul, the lives taken, the families broken, not just of humans but from across the stars. She is evil incarnate, they all scream out for vengeance, she must be punished, unleash me Rose Quartz so that she may know the pain she has caused." the voice said

"N-no not like this, I won't let you" Rose groaned holding her head her eyes glowing green trying to hold something back

"If you fall then all life on this planet will perish, all their deaths on your gem. Unleash me so that I may end this, I will punish this yellow demon. I will find her kin and punish them, I will punish every single one of their soldiers that took pleasure and gave not a second thought to the lives they destroyed. Let the fury of God burn them, RELEASE ME!" The voice yelled out in Rose head

"NOOOO!" Rose yelled out holding her head and slamming it against the ground trying to suppress whatever was trying to come out

"How pathetic," Yellow said with disgust not understanding what was happening

At that moment Pearl took off from the army straight towards Rose spear ready to strike and a panicked look on her face.

"PEARL!" Garnet yelled reaching and chasing after her

"Dammit, not this again!" Bismuth yelled chasing after the two

The CG army was noticing the charging Pearl prepared for battle raising their weapons knowing the HW soldiers would swarm them. The HW soldiers, in fact, were preparing to attack, but Yellow Diamond didn't even notice Pearl. Yellow diamond held out her hand and from it shot out a brilliant yellow streak of lightning erupted from her palm and right towards Rose.

Rose's eyes were shut tight as her fingers dug into her hair trying to suppress whatever was trying to come out. She could feel the bolt coming, she could hear Pearl's screams and steps of Garnet and Bismuth as they all approached. They were going to fight, and they all would be shattered because she wasn't strong enough. The Sky was turning dark as storm clouds began to gather overhead. Rose finally reached her boiling point as her head shot up to meet the bolt revealing an expression of pure anger and her eyes glowing dark green almost looking like fire was seeping from them. And then something Miraculous happened.

Suddenly everything in front of Rose became gold, her expression softens, Bismuth, Garnet, and Pearl stopped in their track. And at that moment everyone on both sides directly looked on in awe stopping whatever they were about to do. In front of Rose had formed a golden wall with the Ankh symbol on it. The wall had blocked yellows lightning, letting it impact against it with smoke rising from it. Everyone was shocked by what just happened, but no one was more shocked than Yellow Diamond herself who was stared at the wall entirely confounded by what just happened. Her anger began to rise as the wall disappeared into Golden Dust revealing Rose Quartz unharmed behind it, Pearl, Garnet, and Bismuth Rushing to her aid.

"Who dares halt my judgment?" Yellow yelled making her soldiers step back a bit in worry

"Rose quartz and her crystal gems will survive this day." A powerful voice echoed from nowhere making everyone look around in confusion trying to locate it.

But Rise recognized the voice as her eyes turned back to normal as her friends helped her back up.

"What the heck was that?" Bismuth asked confused

"That voice…. Isn't that?" Garnet asked when suddenly there was a bight golden flash in the sky

Everyone looked up to see a golden Ankh symbol in the sky and from it emerged a man. He wore a blue one-piece suit with golden metal boots. He had yellow gloves with gold metallic wrist guards, a chest plate with a glowing ankh on it, and a flowing golden cape with a popped collar. But the most catching thing about him was the golden Helmet on his head covering his entire face except for his eyes which were pure white. The man floated in the air lowering himself to Yellow Diamonds eyes level.

"So says FATE!" Fate said glowing with pure power

"Who in the….?" Bismuth asked amazed

"F-Fate?" Rose said looking at the human

"You—I don't know what you're supposed to be or how you stopped my attack. But you had no right to protecting this traitor." Yellow growled angrily at Fate

"I am of this planet you seek to exploit, and Rose Quartz wishes to fight for us. So, I believe I have every right to defend my home." Fate said sternly

"A Human?! I didn't know your race had access to such power, not that it matters. You will lower yourself to the ground immediately and get out of my way, for that I'll let you continue your short pitiful life." Yellow said pointing to the ground

"I am afraid that is not about to happen Yellow Diamond." Fate said making some of the HW soldiers gasp in shock and Yellow's eye twitch in anger

"That's Dr. Fate, he came, he came to help us," Pearl said ecstatically

"You know him?" Bismuth asked confused

"Long story. Rose, we need to…." Garnet said but then noticed Rose was looking up in the cloudy sky

Garnet looked up and saw what she saw. A massive Pair of wings circling in the air, suddenly the wings came together, and the figure shot down towards the ground. At first glance, you would think it was a bird, but as it got closer, the figure was obviously more prominent and shaped like a human.

"No-Way!" Garnet said looking up

"Listen to me, you inferior sack of meat, I…!" Yellow started to yell but was stopped when something hit her face

Both CG and HW soldier yelled out in shock as they saw Yellow Diamond get hit by something that fell from her sky. Yellow had a look of pure confusion on her face as she was knocked off her feet her right cheek contorted from the blow. Everyone watched as Yellow Diamond flew to the side her massive body crashing into Earth cracking it. Everyone was in shock a Diamond, Yellow Diamond, one of the supreme leaders of Homeworld, was smacked in the face and sent to the ground.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!" one of the HW soldiers yelled in shocked confusion

Then the figure, the thing that hit Yellow Diamond landed on the ground with a crash kicking up some dust concealing him. All eyes were no on that spot as the figure slowly Rose to his feet. It was another human. He wore a pair of Green burlap pants held up by a rope around his waist and opened toe boots. The rope around his waist had two loops on both sides of his waist one was empty while the other held a sizeable single-handed ax. He wasn't wearing a shirt showing off his muscular physique with a few scars on it, but had two straps that went across his chest and over both his shoulders, at the point where the straps met on his chest there was a metallic symbol painted red and black that looked like a screeching Hawk. He wore a single metallic shoulder pad and a golden Helmet that was styled like a hawk showing his strong brown eye and his chiseled jaw with a stubble. Both his hands were bandaged and in his right hand was a mace with a wooden grip, but the end appeared to be made of shiny flawless metal. The man stood up and looked at both sides uninterested until his gaze came to Rose. He walked up to the downed warrior stopping a few feet in front of he making her look up at him.

"Get on your feet Rose, you look so God Damn Pathetic." The man said in a gruff voice

"Katar?" Rose said confused

"Yeah, it's me. Now stand up like you got some pride, you're in front of your army." Katar said annoyed

"Y-you saved Rose," Pearl said as she helped Rose to her feet

"Oh, your long nose. I must give props when needed. You ran in here like a true warrior. I'm impressed." Katar said with a hint of admiration

"Th-thank you, thank you for saving Rose," Pearl said with a bow

"Aw, don't get all soft with me. What happened to that condescending little headache I loved to tease?" Katar said with a laugh

"I'm sorry who are you? Who are both of you?" Bismuth said pointing to Fate and Katar

"Wow, you are tall. Now if you brought her and said she was the leader, I might've taken you guys more seriously." Katar said examining Bismuth

"They are Katar Hol and Dr. Fate. They are friends who want to fight for Earth. Though I'm surprised Katar. Last time you told us to Piss Off." Garnet said

"Eh I bounced what you guys said around in my head for a bit, and after golden boy appeared and told me what happened here, I came. Looks like I came at the right time to. Honestly, I didn't even have a plan. I just saw the biggest thing on the battlefield and hit it. That was something I was supposed to hit right? I really don't know what's going on." Katar said with a laugh

"You just hit one of the leaders of Homeworld in the face… I wanted to do that." Bismuth said disappointed

"Ah, don't worry big girl. You'll get your chance right now. It's time for you to leave." Katar said patting Bismuth's chest

"We're cornered and surrounded. The ships will blast us if we try anything." Rose said on shaky feet

"You did as I asked Rose Quartz. You went to the champions of Earth and told them of the plight our planet faces. Now the time has come to unite." Dr. Fate said landing next to Rose

"Yeah… I'm not too interested in uniting or anything. I'm just here for a fight. The big Yellow ones their leader, right? I'll handle this." Katar said walking away from the group

"You're going to fight Yellow Diamond?!…. Alone?!" Rose yelled shocked

"Yep. If she went down from that hit, this is gonna be pretty boring." Katar said as he walked towards the rising Yellow Diamond

"Is he crazy? he's strong but he can't…" Pearl said, but then Fate stood in front of him

"Let him go. I knew this would happen. Now is not the time for battle, but retreating and reorganizing. I believe Katar will be an excellent distraction and can hold his own. If things get a little too heated, then we will step in. But now Rose, you must bring your forces to the sea." Dr. Fate said to Rose receiving a nod from her

Yellow got to a single kneed holding her cheek, still trying to figure out what just hit. She looked to her army which was still staring in awe at their leader being downed. This sent a surge of anger through her body as she fully stood up her body crackling with the yellow energy.

"Who-WHO DARED TO STRIKE ME!" Yellow roared out

"That will be me. Down here… right here…. look down." Katar said waving his mace at Yellow trying to get her attention

Yellow looked down with an angry but confused expression.

"Another human?! Impossible! No human has the strength to knock a Quartz of their feet much less me!" Yellow yelled in disbelief

"Yet I did. And there's your ass print and thousands of witnesses to prove it." Katar said pointing to the crater and all the people around them making Yellow's eye twitch.

"Listen here you little-!" Yellow growled

"NO! YOU listen here you overgrown giraffe!" Katar yelled pointing at Yellow making her eyes widen, and her soldiers gasp at the human interrupting their leader

"I have no love Rose Quartz, but she is fighting for my home and can throw a pretty good punch, so I put up with her. Now my gold friend there is gonna help Crystal folk leave to fight another day, and if you want them, you have to go through me. But I'll tell you right now if you step to me in battle, you're not going to walk away. So, I'll give you a chance. Take your army and run back to wherever it is you came from to nurse that bruise on your cheek." Katar said with a sneer making Yellow grit her teeth and clench her fist.

"You-insolent-little-!" Yellow growled as her body began to crackle with energy the gems on both sides became wary and worried stepping back

"YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!" Yellow roared as she threw out another yellow bolt at Katar

Rose's eyes widened as she watched the bolt get closer to Katar, he however just smiled at it. With one swift motion, he pulled out his mace and swung it at the bolt, and with a loud BOOM, he knocked the bolt to the sky. Almost every gem watching screamed out in shock at what they just saw. The bolt flew into the clouds leaving a yellow flash in its wake. Yellow diamond looked at the human with an astonished look.

"Just-what-are you?!" Yellow asked with a growl making Katar smile

"Some say I'm the sun god Ra, taking the form of a man," Katar said twirling his mace in his hand

"Others say my mother was raped by a demon and gave birth to me," Katar said as he pulled out a silver circular shield with a hawk design on the front that he had strapped to his back

"But everybody says…." Katar said with a smile his shoulders rising and his muscles tensing

Then with one motion and an FWOOSH, a pair of large brown Hawk wing sprouted from his back. The gems gasped in awe at what they saw, the wings were strong and somewhat beautiful. The only ones weren't surprised were Rose, Garnet, Pearl, and Dr. Fate.

"I'm the Hawkman," Hawkman said with a grin

The with a vicious battle cry and a flap of his massive wings Hawkman took off with surprising speed going right for Yellows head. Her eyes widened as she saw the human coming at her and at the last moment managed to side-step and dodged him. He flew past her and stopped himself in the air. His wings were flapping to keep him steady.

"That human grew wings…... And is flying." Bismuth said stunned

"Yeah, he does that." Fate said simply

Hawkman with a roar shot down towards Yellow diamond who was still reeling from what she was looking at. She quickly regained her composure narrowing her eyes and angrily gritting her teeth at imminent threat. Yellow roared as she fired off another bolt towards him with her left hand. Hawkman quickly twisted in the air dodging the attack and continue his descent. Once he was close enough, Yellow fired a right hook at him trying to knock him out of the sky. Hawkman was surprised by the incoming giant yellow fist and reacted quickly. He quickly pushed himself up letting the fist soar past underneath him, he then brought his wings in and flipped in the air. He then landed on Yellow's arm and began to run down its mace raised for another attack. Yellow gawked at the yelling human running down her arm to attack her once more. Yellow gritted her teeth and quickly let the electrical energy envelope her entire body. Hawkman continued to run not noticing it until it was too late. The energy surged through the arm, and then through his whole body, he let out a pained scream as he was shocked. He fell off Yellow's arm and began to fall to the earth, but Yellow wasn't done. She brought back her leg and then unleashed a punt kick towards the descending human. Before he could hit the ground, his entire body met Yellow's giant boot, and he was sent flying away from her.

"KATAR!" Rose yelled as she watched him soar across the ground.

Hawkman bounced off the ground a few times before flipping in the air and correcting himself landing on his feet wings outstretched to help him stop. He skidded across the ground finally stopping with a smile on his face.

"Well I'll give you this, I felt that," Hawkman said with a grin focusing on Yellow

Hawkman took off once more this time staying close to the ground and flying towards Yellow's legs. Yellow growled as she saw him coming raising her foot to try and stomp on him. Hawkman maneuvered his way past the giant boot as it crashed into the dirt passing by Yellow's other leg. Hawkman smiled as he eyed his target, he brought his wings in and with a quick spin and a grunt he swung his mace towards the back of Yellow's lower leg. Yellow let out a pained scream as pain surged through the bottom back of her leg. The force of the attack also forced the leg off leaving her standing on one leg. She grunted as she tried to regain her balance, but then fell onto her back. Though Yellow never hit the ground as something pressed against her back lifted her up. Yellow had a confused expression on her face wondering why she didn't fall and was being lifted on the ground. The Crystal Gems and HW gem looked on with mouth agape as they saw Hawkman lift Yellow of the sand flapping his wings. He was clearly straining grunting and sweating as he forced his arms to hold her and his wing to push them higher. Finally, with a battle-cry, he threw Yellow making the gems watching scream out in shock. Yellow was shocked as she felt gravity pull her down and she landed on the Earth once again with a crash and a grunt landing on her back. Hawkman panted a bit after that stopping for a moment but then took off towards the downed Diamond once again. Yellow lifted her head and saw Hawkman coming, shock and anger flowed through her as she saw him approach. With an angry roar, Yellow enveloped her fist is the yellow energy and once he was close enough backhanded him out of the sky. Hawkman let out another pained grunt as he used his shield to lessen the blow. Still, he felt his body and wings stiff up making him crash back to the ground right into the HW army who parted letting him crash. The HW gems looked at him in awe and confusion, this organic was fighting their leader and was keeping her on her toes doing her work.

"WHAT ARE YOU FOOLS DOING?!" Yellow yelled at her soldiers as she picked herself up making the yelp in fright

"DESTROY HIM! DESTROY ALL OF THEM!" Yellow ordered angrily pointing to the CG army.

It took a moment for the soldiers to process the order but then quickly turned to attack Hawkman. And to their surprise, he was already up putting his shield back and twirling his mace in his hand.

"Heh. After that, I thought she would've wanted to kill me herself." Hawkman said with a chuckle as he rolled his shoulders.

"So… which of you wants to take the first crack?" Hawkman said with a sinister smile and a murderous glint in his eye.

The gems surrounding him felt a twinge of fear, the human fought a diamond and was surrounded but didn't seem to care. In fact, he was welcoming them to attack. Nobody made a move until.

"GLORY TO THE DIAMONDS!" an orange gem yelled as she ran forward an ax raised over her head

She swung down at Hawkman only for him to shoot out his arm and grab hers stopping the attack. The gem flinched when Hawkman locked eyes with her.

"I want you to know right now. For being the first of you lot to take a shot at me, you have my respect for your bravery." Hawkman said with a small smile surprising the gem

She then shook it out of her head and then tried to use a free arm to punch him. Only for his mace to slam into the side of her head sending her flying into a group of her comrades while Hawkman held the ax. Then they all descended on him yelling at the top of their lung weapons raised. Hawkman gave the ax a twirl before spinning around towards another HW gem with a sword. He swung the ax towards her slicing off her arms and head with ease a confused look on her face as her head tumbled in the air. Her head arms and body them disappeared into a puff of smoke as a purple gem fell from it. Hawkman knew that gems didn't die quickly and would come back unless the gem was shattered, but he didn't have the time to be a through as he usually would be. He brought his leg and kicked the gem before it could hit the ground. The gem collided with another soldier's head making her yelp out in pain and surprise and pain as she fell onto her back.

Hawkman roared as he delivered a vicious punch to a gem's cheek knocking them to the ground. He then drove his elbow into the mid-section of a gem behind him making her gag. He then spun around a smashed his mace into her shoulder where her gem was. With that CRACK, the gem let out a pained scream as she held her gem only for Hawkman to kick her in the face knocking her away. He then turned around and stomped on the head of the gem he hit to the ground making her poof, he then swung at the head of another knocking her away. With an overhead swing, he struck another burying her into the ground with another puff of smoke. He delivered a back kick to the gut of one coming from behind while also blocking a sword strike with his mace. He then switched by front kicking the one that stood before him and then smashing his mace into the one behind him. A smaller gem tried to go for his legs, but he lifted it dodging the attack and then kicking her into another group of comrades. One tried to stab him from behind, but he sidestepped and grabbed her arm. He then swung his mace onto her shoulder forcing her to her knees with a pained scream. Still holding onto her arm, Hawkman placed a boot on her face and then with one powerful pull ripped her arm off. There was no blood, but she was screaming, Hawkman threw the arm at another soldier just as it disappeared into smoke. Using it as cover, he ran forward wrapping her arms around his waist and then running ahead. He yelled as he used the gem as a makeshift battering ram going through dozens of soldiers before throwing the gem into a larger group. More tried to jump on him but he quickly took to the skies, they all looked up to see him in the sky wings spread a crack of lightning silhouetting him against the clouds. With a roar, he descended onto the group.

Rain began to fall as one half of the HW army was dealing with Hawkman the other half was in full charge towards the CG army. The CG's readied their weapons.

"Get ready for a fight!" Bismuth yelled

"That won't be necessary. You just need to focus on the escape plan." Fate said simply

"A thousand HW soldiers are coming right at us, you think we're just gonna…." Bismuth started but stopped when she felt the ground shake.

She looked down to see a growing crack in the Earth going towards the charging HW soldiers.

"Our friends will handle your protection." Fate said

The crack stopped a few meters before the HW soldiers and then suddenly a massive tree sprouted from the Earth. Incredibly thick, tall, and lush with life the HW soldiers stopped for a moment since it just grew out of nowhere. Then more began to grow just as tall and thick as the first one. The all grew in a row to form a massive wall of trees separating the Crystal gems from the Homeworld soldiers. Then in the spaces between the trees thick and spiky hedge began to grow as a makeshift fence.

"WHAT THE HECK!" Bismuth yelled looking at the massive trees separating them from their foes

"No way, you got…," Pearl said amazed

Yellow Diamond was looking at how Hawkman defeat dozens of her supposed best quartz single-handedly.

"Useless piles of rubble," Yellow growled watching the multiple puffs on smokes and her soldiers flying in the air

She turned to see another upsetting sight of her soldiers currently trying to cut their way through a forest that appeared out of nowhere.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF….!" Yellow yelled until a voice spoke to her

"you…." A raspy voice whispered

"What?!" Yellow yelled confused

"You are why the Earth cries." The voice said louder

Yellow tried to turn around but couldn't her legs were snagged on something. She looked down and gasped to see large vine wrapping around her legs to keep her stationary.

"You stole from the Earth to make your…. abominations!" the voice yelled as the Earth beneath Yellow began to shake

Yellow looked down and saw a massive fissure in the Earth form. And then from it shot out many vines, though they didn't entangle her. They instead began to gather in front of her taking shape. The shape was human and as big a yellow itself with moss taking the form of long hair with flowers growing in it. Bark began to form around its legs, arms, and chest. And then Yellow's eye met another pair of angry yellow eyes, and then the creature spoke.

"THE GREEN DEMANDS RECOMPENSE! RETURN THAT WHICH WAS STOLEN!" the creature roared in a powerful feminine voice rearing its bark-covered fist back

Yellow had no time react as the creature threw its punch towards Yellow's cheek knocking her head to the side with a mighty THWAK!

"AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?!" Bismuth yelled pointing at the forest giant

"It's more of a Swamp Thing actually," Garnet said

"…. You know what… whatever." Bismuth said defeated

"Bismuth. I promise to tell you what happened those months we were gone once we're out of here." Rose said reassuringly

"This will give us some defense, but it ain't gonna hold. And we can make a run for the water with those ships overhead." Bismuth said pointing to the ships that floated overhead

"You and your comrades will not need to run, and I wouldn't worry about those." Fate said looking up at the raging storm clouds above

The gems in the ship's overhead were as dumbfounded by what was happening as the ones below, still, they had their orders from their diamond. With this sudden wall blocking them from the CG's and this creature appearing from nowhere they decided to take both targets. One would blast away at the trees giving the troops an opening to go through while the other went to attack the creature attacking their diamond a much bigger and easier target to hit than the small winged human. But before they could do anything, there was a bright flash, and from the clouds, an enormous bolt of lightning struck the ship. All the gems looked up as sparks flew from the ship after it was hit and began to shutter. Then another bolt struck the ship this time going through it and striking the ground, the ship erupted into a fire as it crashed to the ground and exploded. Then another bolt of lightning hit the other ship causing it to falter a lower itself back onto the field behind the HW army.

The CG's looked on in awe as it looked like nature itself attacked the HW ships bringing them to the ground. Then they heard a low rumble from behind, and the CG's turned towards the ocean. From the water and crawling onto the Beach was what the gems could only describe as 12 large crustaceans emerged from the sea and stopped before them. As the gems looked at the creatures dumbfounded their shells opened up like a hatch, then from all twelve of the crustacean's humans poured out by the dozens. A mixture of male and female, the males wearing what looked like armor that looked like the crustaceans they came out from, the females wore more expected metal armor. The females ran ahead of the pulling out bows and drawing them arrows ready, they then pointed towards over the tree line.

"AMAZONS FIRE!" A powerful female voice said

And at her command, the Amazons fired their arrows going over the immense forest that protected the CG's. The HW gems looked up as they noticed a shadow overtaking them, to their shock seeing a thousand arrows descending towards them. The CG's heard screams and various poofs from the other side of the tree line as the arrows fell.

"What are you all waiting for? Don't you want to fight another day?! Get in!" a strong male voice said as the male soldier began to usher the CG's into the crustaceans

"You both… actually came." Rose said as she looked at the two people before her

The first was a man in his late twenties with a decent muscular build. He wore an extravagant set of golden armor that covered his chest, forearms, and lower legs complete with a helmet that looked like a crown. Under that armor, he wore what looked like a one-piece suit made of scales. The upper body of the suit was orange, and the lower body from the waist was green. Around his waist was a golden belt the buckle looking like a strange A. The man had dark brown eyes, and a short brown beard some of his brown hair could be seen under the helmet. He held a beautiful gold Trident that was as big as him.

Beside him was a woman who was a few inches taller than him, and had a very athletic build. She had long beautiful blonde hair that reached her back and was done in a ponytail to no strands got in her eyes. She wore a set of armor that was gold, red, and blue. With a blue gladiator skirt with white stars on them and a Tiara with a red star on her forehead. She wore gold armored boots on her legs though under it leather boots that were red and white could be seen. On her right bicep was a small metal band, and on both her wrists were metal bracelets that were immaculate and had strange scriptures on them. She had a leather strap that held a sword and shield strapped to her back, a blue and gold cape held by a pin on her shoulder, and a yellow lasso attached to her hip.

"After what you did for my family and me, why wouldn't I.," the male said

"We are warriors, and your words have rung true. We must defend man's world from this threat." The woman said proudly

"Theseus, Hippolyta. Thank you both." Rose said

"B-but how were you able to prepare all this?" Pearl asked

"That would be because of me. After your initial meetings, I approached both and brought them together for a planned uniting of Earth's forces." Dr. Fate said

"This rescue was a last-minute thing. We heard you, and your forces were in trouble, so we decided to help." Theseus said

"The King gathered his forces and these creatures to help get your forces away. A small chunk of my Amazonians came to offer backup and stop any of the enemies from interfering. Though it appears the battle has already begun. More of your friends I presume Rose?" Hippolyta asked

"Yes. Swamp Thing and Katar have already started fighting Yellow Diamond and her forces." Garnet says

"Katar, isn't that the guy you said punched you in the face, threw Pearl like a Spear, and put Rose's face through a tree trunk? He's our ally?" Theseus asked

"Yes…he is." Pearl groaned

"So that is one of the Diamonds you speak of? She's massive, though it appears the Green one seems to be keeping her at bay. She looks like a warrior handmade by Gaia herself." Hippolyta said looking through the trees amazed at the battle

"She and Katar just need to keep Yellow occupied and off us for a little longer until-," Rose said

"ENOUGH!" Yellow yelled angrily finally having enough of Swamp things attack

There was a bright yellow flash that lit up the entire battlefield, getting everyone's attention. Even Katar stopped fighting the HW gems to see. There was a massive slicing sound filling the air as the glow stopped. And with that sound, two massive plant hands fell to the ground. Swamp thing looked at her now removed hands confused before looking to Yellow Diamond. Yellow Diamond was glaring at her eyes filled with anger now holding a stylized Yellow Broadsword that crackled with her energy.

"I am a Diamond of the Gem Homeworld. I will refuse to be humiliated by anything from this planet!" Yellow yelled as she raised her broadsword overhead and then sliced down on Swamp Thing

The sword split her two, and both halves fell to the ground becoming piles of leaves and vines. The HW gems cheered seeing their leader have conquered the beast, only for a hearty laugh to fill the air. This laugh was coming from Katar who looked amused.

"Finally taking things seriously, are ya?! About damn time! I was getting tired of this 'higher than thou' crap act you're trying to pull in front of your soldiers." Katar said with a laugh getting Yellow attention

"You!" She growled

"Now that you are finally stepping up COME AT ME!" Katar yelled raising his mace

"I WILL END YOU!" Yellow yelled as she swung her sword down on him

Nearby HW soldiers ran out of the way not wanting to get in the way of the strike believing it would annihilate the winged human, but Katar stood there and smiled.

"You'll die trying," Hawkman says as he brought his mace back and swung it to meet the sword

CRASH

The HW gems looked shocked at the small weapon was holding up their leader's massive sword. The Yellow blade met his flawless metal of the mace and sparks flew from their connection. Both Yellow and Hawkman grunted as they pushed against each other trying to force the other's weapon back. As they pushed a small crack was heard, Katar heard this and looked at Yellows sword seeing a break the size of a pin form on the blade. He smiled until he listened to another crack. He looked at the wooden handle of his mace and saw a more significant crack on his. Seeing this he began pushing the mace in the other direction deflecting the sword strike to the side letting it sink into the earth before taking off above Yellow. Hawkman clicked his tongue as he looked at the crack on the wood.

"This is actually gonna be tough," Hawkman said visibly sweating

Yellow roared again as she fired a bolt of energy at him making him move quickly and fly around her.

"It appears that the Hawkman needs some assistance," Hippolyta says

"We will help you, my queen." An Amazon said

"No need, you need to stop any enemies from hindering the evacuation," Hippolyta says

"But-my queen, that creature is so mighty! Can you really take it on by yourself?" the amazon asked

"I am not alone sister. The gods are with me." Hippolyta says clenching her fists and looking at her armor.

Hawkman continued to fly around Yellow looking for some kind of opening while narrowly dodging her bolts. Yellow then let out an aggravated roar and swung her sword at Katar, this time firing a massive blade of energy at Katar. He dodged but screamed out in pain as the edge clipped his wing. Katar crashed towards the Erath landing on a group of HW soldiers as he did.

"FINALLY!" Yellow said gleefully as she began to charge her sword again

Hawkman picked himself up and saw what she was doing

"Ah Shit," Katar said deadpanned

Yellow let out a battle cry as she swung down at Katar and her own soldiers, the blade of energy piercing the Earth as it flew at him. Katar knew he couldn't fly and the attack was too fast, so he defensively raised his mace. But then Hippolyta landed in front of him and the soldiers crossing her arms in front of her face letting the bracelets face the attack. The yellow energy met the bracelets. Power crackled followed by a warbling sound as the attack seemed to stay in place trying to get past the bracelets but unable to do so, much to Yellows confusion. The offense finally dissipated revealing Hippolyta in all her glory cape flowing in the wind.

"ANOTHER ONE?!" Yellow yelled

Hippolyta let out a battle cry as she brought her arms up and then slammed her two bracelets together. The warbling sound returned louder than before followed by a shockwave that came from her bracelets. The force of the Shockwave sent Yellow and the surrounding soldiers who were in front of her flying back, though Yellow Diamond remained on his feet.

"You're welcome, Man," Hippolyta say looking back at him

"Another one of Rose's friends. She really does get around, doesn't she?" Katar said with a smirk as he kicked off a soldier gripping his leg

"She spoke of you when we first met," Hippolyta says

"And what did she say?" Katar asked

"She said you were a vicious brute, who'd rather punch something before considering diplomacy. She also said you were a true hero and warrior." Hippolyta said slightly impressed

"Hm, that's not right. I'm pretty sure I said Vicious animal, not Brute." Katar said

"I don't know where all you insects are coming from, but I am putting-!" Yellow roared

Until what only can be described as a massive fist made of water came from the side and punched her sending her flying to the side crashing to the ground. Katar laughed as Hippolyta looked on impressed. They both looked up to the stormy sky and saw Theseus riding what looked like a platform made from the rainwater. He then leaped off and landed next to the other two.

"Hi, I'm Theseus," Theseus said extending his hand for Katar to shake it

"I don't care," Katar said

"Quite the personality you have," Theseus said nervously

"You control the water?" Katar asked

"Yes. That and the very storm were standing in." Theseus said stamping his trident to the ground

Suddenly there was a large crackle of lightning, but it wasn't from the sky. The three looked on to see an enormous amount of energy building around Yellow. Then she screamed out in pure rage as multiple arches of energy shot out of her body firing in every direction hitting the wall of trees setting them on fire, the landscape, and even her own soldiers. The three took defensive stances bracing for the bolt coming at them, only for a dome of yellow energy to surround them and protect them.

"Amazing" Theseus said looking at the dome

"All eyes on are on us. We need to keep it like that. It will take our combined might to hold the Diamond at bay." Dr. Fate said suddenly appearing next to them as well

"I've been doing fine by myself," Hawkman says

"Clearly you were," Hippolyta says sarcastically

"He's right, it'll take our combined might to keep her from attacking the Crystal Gems. And as long as we have her soldier's attention, we can do this. But we need to stand together." Theseus says

"I care not for any of you. But if this is the path that will lead to the destruction of these parasites and ceases the crying of the green, so be it." Swamp thing says growing a new body next to Theseus surprising him.

"As long as you don't get in my way," Hawkman says twirling his mace

"I would say the same to you, Bird-Man," Hippolyta says with a smirk

"I'm a Hawk," Hawkman says with an annoyed smile

"So, do we have a plan of attack or-?" Theseus asked

"I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! THIS PLANET IS FILLED WITH TRAITORS AND INSECTS WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR PLACE! I AM GOING TO WIPE THE LOT OF YOU FROM THIS DIRT BALL AND WATCH IT WITHER AND DIE!" Yellow roared as she surged with energy more arching towards the group

"Or we can just scatter like a school of fish and just do whatever!" Theseus screams as it came at them

Hawkman summoned his wings, though injured he was still able to push himself with them. Grabbing Theseus, he flung both of them out of the way, Hippolyta drew her sword and shield and did the same leaping to the other side. Dr. Fate took off upwards while Swamp thing sunk into the Earth. The bolt hit the Earth creating an explosion Katar, and Theseus rolled across the ground before landing on their feet.

"She's shooting lightning. Why don't I show her some real lightning?" Theseus said as he raised his trident into the air

The storm clouds began to swirl, and lightning crackled within them. Then a bolt struck down towards the King and hit his trident. Hawkman looked on surprised as it looked like the Trident was absorbing the lightning without doing anything to the man holding it. Once the electricity stopped, Theseus brought his Trident down and then with a fearsome roar pointing it at Yellow Diamond. From the three points of the weapon, the blue bolts shot out towards her in a brilliant display. Yellow Diamond screamed out as the bolt struck her side, Theseus continued to yell as he held the Trident continuing to fire at yellow arching the Lightning towards her face. The Lightning then stopped, and Theseus brought his trident back down taking a moment to breathe as Katar smiled at him.

"Not bad. Think you can give me some covering fire to get in close?" Hawkman asked

"I can work something out. Go!" Theseus said, and Katar smiled and used his wings to propel himself forward

Theseus then brought his trident up, and with a wave of it, the rain around him stopped in place floating around him. All the drops then turned to ice, and with another point of his trident, they flew at Yellow like a hail of arrows. Yellow raised her sword to block the ice pellets doing so efficiently. Then Dr. Fate appeared before her.

"There is still time for us to Negotiate." Dr. Fate warned

"I don't negotiate with a bunch weak flesh sack!" Yellow roared at him

"Then you have chosen your Fate!" Dr. Fate said as he fired a beam of Magic at her. She raised her hand to block it though it still burned, she swung at him only for Fate to fly up.

With a quick hand gesture, he made what looked like a sigil, and from it, four spears of light shot out and impaled themselves into yellows chest.

"I'll force you into a weakened state!" Fate says as he made another hand gesture then yellow screamed out as it looked like the spears began to suck the energy out of her.

Yellow screamed in pain but then grit her teeth and screamed in anger charging her whole body with energy. It surged through the spears and toward the sigil where it began to shake and then shattered like glass forcing fate back.

"Impossible! She had this much energy?!' Fate said surprised.

The Yellow's hand swung down on him, and he was sent crashing towards the Earth. Luckily Hawkman flew in and caught him.

"What did I say about getting in my way?!" Hawkman said annoyed

Yellow prepared to swing her sword down onto them but was stopped when a glowing Yellow rope wrapped around her wrist ending her swing. She turned her head and saw Hippolyta holding the lasso and planting her feet on the ground holding Yellow's arm back.

"H-how are you this strong!?" Yellow roared

Just then a furious Swamp thing Jumped on Yellow' face grabbing her nose

"For what you've done to this world, I WILL TEAR YOU APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT!" Swamp Thing roared as she forced her arm up Yellow's nose

Yellow then screamed out in pain as vines began to make their way inside her body starting to come out her nostril and mouth. Swamp Thing grinned seeing the one behind the Earth's pain suffer. Yellow then grabbed Swamp Thing off her face and threw her to the ground, at the same time giving a mighty pull on the lasso forcing Hippolyta off the field and soaring upward while Yellow coughed up the vines that worked her way into her body. Hawkman looked up and saw Hippolyta flying overhead, he took off towards her and caught her mid-air.

"You're welcome," Hawkman says

"RELEASE ME RIGHT NOW!" Hippolyta says offended

"At least wait until we're on the-," Hawkman says when suddenly he landed on something

"Ground?" Hawkman says confused seeing that he was no Standing on a shining sigil, Dr. Fate below them hands glowing

Yellow was still hacking up leaves doubled over using her sword to help herself up. Just then many small icicles began to fly onto her body like needles. A distance away Theseus gathered raindrops to form bigger icicles and threw them at yellow Diamond at High speeds. Yellow seeing him swung another Energy blade at him, Theseus yelped seeing the edge come at him. He however then vanished into a golden Sigil and appeared next to Dr. Fate.

"Thank you," Theseus said a little freaked out

"You're welcome." Fate said

"Ladies first?" Hawkman asked as he and Hippolyta stood on the sigil

Hippolyta huffed before leaping off the sigil and landing on Yellow's shoulder. Yellow noticed her just as Hippolyta drew her blade and plunged it into Yellow's neck. If felt like a needle sting making Yellow scream and immediately reach for Hippolyta, only for her arm to get tangled in a series of vines that sprouted from the Earth stopping her.

"I'm still here, you Yellow Freak!" Hawkman yelled as he charged towards Yellow's face on the opposite side

At that moment Hippolyta drew her fist back. And at the same time, Hippolyta's punch and Hawkman's mace met Yellow's temple with a BOOM. Yellow screamed out her head now ringing as she used her free hand to grab it. Hippolyta caught her and leaped off Yellow's shoulder, stabbing her sword into Yellow's back and dragging it down into a massive gash. Yellow screamed again as Yellow energy flashed with the cut as Hippolyta jumped onto the ground. Hawkman used his wings again to propel himself over Yellow mace raised overhead, then with a flap he flew down towards. He swung his mace down onto the back of Yellow's head forcing her to a knee as she grunted. More vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around her head trying to bring it to the field. Yellow grunted and strained as she fought against it, Hawkman at this time jumped of Yellow's head onto another Sigil before dropping to the ground.

As Yellow tried to break free a giant pillar of ice to shoot out from the ground and crash into her face Shattering as it did. With that Yellows face was pressed into the dirt as more vines began to grow and entangle her limbs. To be extra sure with a swipe of his trident Theseus froze the rainwater turning them into ice restraints.

"Well…... we did that," Theseus said surprised

"Yep, let's finish her," Hawkman said walking towards her

"Wait, she's restrained! She can't fight! We don't have to do that!" Theseus said

"She's the enemies' leader. Do you realize how big of a blow this would be to the other sides moral? It'll show the rest of them we mean war and-!" Hawkman said when suddenly a crack filled the air, and a chunk of ice fell before him

"Shit," Hawkman said

Suddenly the Ice shattered, and the vines burst into flames as an electric shockwave dome expanded from Yellow. The group was caught off guard from this, and all were blown back by the shockwave, they all screamed out in pain as electricity coursed through their bodies. From behind the trees Garnet, Bismuth, and Pearl saw the massive dome and the energy coursing through it.

"I've never seen a Diamond fight like this before… Heck, I've never seen a Diamond fight! And those humans managed to force her to the ground." Bismuth said amazed

"But they can't fight her forever. How are they supposed to escape themselves while they were running?" Garnet asked

"Rose, what should we-?" Pearl asked, but then they all noticed Rose was gone

"Oh no, nonononono!" Pearl yelled seeing she was no longer there

"Rose is going to help them?" Bismuth asked

"You three you need to get onboard! We're going now!" one of the male soldiers said

"WE CAN'T LEAVE ROSE BEHIND!" Pearl said

"Pearl, this is her choice. She wants to help them. And she may be the one to give them the opening they need an escape." Garnet said

"Wait…... you aren't suggesting that she lets that…. thing, out are you?!" Pearls aid shocked

"We saw what it was capable of, we know how powerful it is," Garnet said

"And we know what that thing does to Rose. She wasn't herself, it was eating her from the inside out. We were lucky the last time with fate helping, but what if it breaks free? What if it completely takes over her like last time and she doesn't come back!?" Pearl cried

"Fate said the seal would hold, we just need to have faith she can use the little bit of power she has without breaking it," Garnet said

"What are you two talking about? Is there something wrong with her?" Bismuth asked

"Bismuth…. During our travels, something happened to Rose. Something… infected her. It came from a world beyond what we know. And to think that something so powerful would be on Earth." Garnet said grimly looking past the trees

Katar laid on the ground with a groan, he looked beside him and saw Theseus and Fate laying not too far. He tried to move but let out a pained grunt as he felt a shock in his muscles, the shockwaves effects still lingering. Suddenly a shadow loomed over him he looked up to see Yellow Diamond her sword at the ready.

"You all have been much more annoying than you had any right to be," Yellow growled

"I like to exceed expectations." Hawkman groaned as tried to move

"Well, take this singular solace before you expire, you did," Yellow said as she raised her blade

"YELLOW DIAMOND!" Rose yelled behind yellow getting all the eyes on her

"Rose, what are you doing?" Hawkman groaned seeing her

"It's not bad enough that you would defy us and fight against your own kind, but you also aligned yourself with the pitiable race," Yellow said turning to face and look down on her

"I did, and they have shown me that there are powers on this planet beyond our imagination and understanding. And that humanity possesses strength beyond all our technology and advances. Can't you see the potential here, what we might be able to learn if we just opened up." Rose pleaded

"Save it, Rose. People like her have their head shoved too far up their own asses to listen to reason." Hawkman yelled to her

"This is not reason, this is the insane babblings of a defective Quartz. And I am going to put an end to it NOW!" Yellow roared as she charged towards Rose and a surprising speed

"ROSE DODGE! SUMMON YOUR SHIELD!" Hawkman yelled worried as he watched Rose stand there

Rose closed her eyes and took a deep breath going into her own mind. She entered a black void in her head and within was a small green flame trapped inside a crystal. She reached out and touched the crystal, then small embers moved from the fire towards her hand leaving the crystal and entering her body.

"You can't do this without me." A voice whispered in her head

CRASH

Yellow smashed her fist right where Rose was creating a massive crater that shook the very Earth. There was a long moment of silence the remaining HW soldier still looking on in awe at all that their leader had been put through fighting these Humans. But now she had finally destroyed the rebel leader, but the voice that finally spoke was not one of joy.

"ROSE!" Hawkman yelled managing to bring himself to his knees

Yellow panted keeping her fist on the ground, the battle has taken a toll on her, and she was always being surprised by some sort of insane thing that seemed to originate from this planet. What first looked like an easy project was now showing to be much more. Not only was there the rebellion, but these advanced humans were running about. The winged one did some damage to her, though she was caught off guard. And when they worked together, they brought her down, only for a moment. Though challenging they would never be able to defeat her, she has barely shown what she was capable of. But the same could not be said for if they faced Pink. She was so young and had minimal battle experience and has shown herself to be a mediocre leader. If more of these types of humans faced her, she could get hurt or worse. That's why yellow went behind her back and led this attack herself to put an end to this farce and make sure Pink doesn't end up getting herself hurt with her immature antics. Yellow knew she wasn't ready for a colony, and this had just turned into the worst-case scenario. She needs to tell Blue about what she's faced her, and maybe they can convince White to let them take over and get Pink away from this. Yellow, of course, would begin the extermination of the humans making sure to eliminate any like the winged ones and the other like him.

"You still haven't learned." Rose voice said sounding like an echo

Yellow eyes widened as she heard the voice, but before she could even say "What?!" she felt something. Heat, coming from under her fist and getting hotter fast.

"I told you there were powers hidden in this world, beyond our imagination," Rose said her voice getting louder sounding like there was another voice underneath it

Suddenly green flames began to spit out from under Yellow's fist, and slowly started to push it up. Yellow grunted as she was unable to push whatever this was down, then from within the fire two massive hands emerged and grabbed Yellow's fist continuing to push her back. Yellow, her soldiers, Hawkman, everyone gasped in shock as the fire dissipated revealing Rose Quartz who had tripled in size and was growing bigger.

"I have found such a power. It has become a part of me, and it will not let you harm this planet!" Rose growled as she continued to grow her pink locks covering her face.

Yellow watched in shock as Rose held her fist and continued to grow quickly reaching Yellow's height.

"I-you-THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE! WHAT ARE YOU?!" Yellow yelled dumbfounded

Suddenly from the ground green smoke emerged and began to envelop Rose covering her. The smoke then solidified becoming what appeared to be a long Green cloak that touched the ground, it was tattered and looked old. The smoke around her wrists formed into torn green wristbands, and finally the smoke the covered her face formed into a hood that miraculously contained her long hair. Rose's lifted her head showing her eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hood, but now had an unnatural white glow allowing the shape of her eyes to be seen.

"I AM THE SPECTRE!" Rose yelled it was now being clear that there was a voice under her own that of a man

"AND VENGEANCE IS MINE!" Rose yelled as pushed back Yellow's fist sending her stumbling back

Blown away by what she saw Yellow was not prepared for the punch Rose sent to her face. It impacted with a "POW!" that sent Yellow's face flying to the side. She wasn't sent back; however, as the giant, Rose grabbed her by the neck with both hands and pulled her close starring angrily into her with her glowing white eyes.

"BURN!" Rose yelled as she opened her mouth. It was seeming to go farther than it should. Then a green glow could be seen coming from within her throat

With enormous Roar, Green Flames spewed out of Rose's mouth and onto Yellow's face completely engulfing it. The HW soldier let out a terrified scream as they saw their leader being strangled a burned by this massive monster. Hawkman still on the ground looked on in shock but then turned to amusement.

"Dang Rose. Where was this when we fought?" Hawkman said with a chuckle

"IS THAT ROSE?!" Bismuth said shocked as she and many of the other crystal gems looked at what their leader had become. Pearl and Garnet, however, looked on worried

"Rose, don't let it control you." Pearl thought as she watched

Rose was still roaring fire right into Yellow's face, Yellow's arm then shot up and shut Rose's jaw. Rose's head was forced upward, and the flames shot into the sky.

"GET OFF MY YOU FREAK!" Yellow roared as she continued to push Rose's head up and then used her other hand to grab Rose's own neck

The two struggled for dominance both trying to push each other back, the Earth cracking beneath. Yellow enraged yelled out and send a surge of energy into both her hands, Rose screamed out in pain as the power coursed through her. Rose brought up her foot and kicked Yellow in the gut releasing her and sending her back. Yellow stumbled but regained her footing wiping some residual soot from her face, as Rose tried to shake off the shock. Yellow was the first to recover summoning her sword again, with a battle cry Yellow swung her sword. With a quick Slick Rose was cut in half from the waist. A small smile grew on Yellow face as she saw her upper half fall to the ground.

But before it could touch the Earth, Rose's upper body turned to Green smoke as well as her lower half. The smoke quickly swirled around the confused Yellow before zipping behind her and taking shape. Rose emerged from the smoked and wrapped her hands around Yellow's waist and lifted her into the air. Yellow growled as she flailed trying to break free and slamming her elbow into Rose's face. Rose took each elbow with a grunt before throwing Yellow to the side, Yellow rolled across the Earth before landing on her feet. Yellow narrowed her eyes at Rose as she drew her arm back. Rose shot her arm forward, and it stretched out like rubber flying at Yellow incredibly fast. Her arm quickly began to snake around Yellow and tightened restricting her arms and movements, her arms then extended reaching towards Yellow's head. Rose's hand then began to morph and change, her fingers meshing together and her supple skin became scaly. Yellow's eyes widened as Rose's hand transformed into the head of a pink snake, it hissed at her barring its fangs and then sinking them into Yellow's neck.

Yellow screamed out in pain as the snake bite her neck. Her gem shined as her broadsword shot out from her gem point first slicing Rose's arm. Yellow roared as she used her strength to free herself tearing Rose's arm apart. Rose didn't react to it as what was left retracted back to her and then instantly with a burst of flames her arm regrew. Yellow grunted as the snakehead was still alive and still biting into her neck, she finally pulled the creature out of neck it again snapping at her. With a disgusted look, she threw it to the ground where it vanished into mist. Yellow hissed as she held the wound on her neck sparks puttering from her injury as Yellow glared at Rose with anger and confusion. Rose looked at Yellow full of anger and rage as her eyes began to glow brighter and flames began to spew from her cloak.

"Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Pride! You spread your vileness not only to your own kind but across the stars! And now you seek to make the innocents of this world suffer from your sins. Well no more, it ends here, your evil, your sins, AND YOUR LIFE!" Rose yells the other voice getting louder as she began to glow brighter as she began to rise off the ground

"I WILL WIPE YOU FROM THE EARTH! YOU WILL BURN FOR ETERNITY IN THE PITS OF HELL! AND ONCE I AM DONE WITH YOU, I WILL PURGE ALL THAT YOUR EVIL HAS TOUCHED ON THIS WORLD! WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOU, NOT EVEN ASHES WILL-!" Rose yelled the other voice overpowering hers but suddenly stopped

Rose let out a pained scream as she held her head falling to the ground her glowing and flames stopping. She grunted and screamed as she held her head looking like she was in conflict with herself.

"N-no I won't. This isn't how-!" Rose grunted in pain

"WHAT?!" Hawkman yelled confused

"It's taking control again!" Pearl said worriedly

"No, she's fighting it!" Garnet said

"Now isn't a good time to be having an internal conflict!" Bismuth said

Just as Bismuth said that Yellow rushed forward and grabbed Rose by the face. She then slammed Rose into the ground and then began to slam the back of her head onto the ground repeatedly. Each slam made flames spew out of Roses form as her body started to go limp. And with the 6th slam Rose burst into green flames shrinking back to her standard size her green cloak draping her body but the hood no longer covering her head and her pink locks out once more.

"I don't know what that was, but I don't care. I'm ending this and you, RIGHT NOW!" Yellow yelled as she swung her hand down to smash Rose

Everyone looked on in horror at what was about to happen, Pearl about to scream out and run towards her.

"DAMMIT ROSE!" Hawkman yelled out flying towards the downed Rose standing between her and the giant incoming hand

Yellow was still in mid-swing and couldn't stop, at the same time Hawkman brought his mace back. With a vicious battle roar, he swung his mace at the giant hand connecting with it causing a massive BOOM to fill the air but also a

CRACK

Yellow's arm was batted aside by Hawkman's swing, it had hurt her hand, but there was something else. She let out a pained hiss as a burning sensation filled her hand, like someone stabbing a hot needle into her flesh. As she looked at her hand right where Hawkman's swing met was his mace or half of it. The spiked metal ball was embedded in her hand with a bit of the stick base still attached, the handle obviously snapping from the swing. But what confused Yellow was the burning sensation it was coming from the mace, she felt a twinge before when he attacked her. But now it was getting worse, she tried to reach for it to pull it out, but when her fingers met the metal sparks flew, and the burning sensation went to them making her recoil.

"What in the stars above-?" Yellow hissed

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE HAD THAT!" Hawkman yelled holding the broken stick that was his mace. He quickly used his wings to jump up to Yellow's face grabbing her eyelid and hanging from it

"I AM NOT GONNA HEAR THE END OF IT ONCE THAT LITTLE GREMLIN SEE'S THIS!" Hawkman yelled as he reared his fist back still holding the broken handle and punched her in the eye

Yellow screamed out stumbling back her hands going to her face, only for Hawkman to jump up from it onto her hand. Hawkman then pulled out his ax and sliced it into the back of her hand. Hawkman yelled out as he began to hack into the back of her hand repeatedly. Yellow noticed and with a growl sent a swift current of energy towards her hand. When Hawkman sliced into it again the electricity coursed through the metal, and he yelled out as he flew off the back of Yellow's hand into her free one where she caught him and brought him to her face. The two glared at each other intensely neither faltering.

"Bet this is the first good fight you've had in years, and it's from a flesh sack! You having as much fun as I am?" Hawkman asked with a grin

"Die," Yellow said just as she began to crush Hawkman making him scream out in pain

But before she could kill him, she was hit in the stomach by something. A giant stream of water shot out of the ocean and was now hitting her. Yellow grunted staying on her feet as the water pushed her back, but within the stream there was something. Theseus was swimming in the stream faster than anything Yellow has ever seen before in water. He flew right at Yellow in the water and impacted her abdomen another BOOM filling the air. Yellow gagged as she stumbled back her grip loosening and letting Hawkman fall to the ground. Theseus leaped off her belly and out of the water onto the land. He yelled as he swiped his trident, and from the still continuous giant stream impacting Yellow 6 smaller tubes of water shot out towards Yellow. Theseus then began to focus his eyes glowing as he raised his hand, and within those tubes of water, sharks swam towards Yellow shooting out of the water and onto her where they started to bite her. Yellow screamed out in surprise at the small organics biting her skin and immediately swiped them off. Before the sharks hit the ground, a pool of water appeared underneath them catching them and carrying them back to the ocean.

Yellow immediately locked her eyes on Theseus and fired an angry bolt at him. Theseus saw it coming and quickly swung his trident at it. To everyone's shock, including his own his Trident sliced through the bolt slicing it in two, and then the bolt suddenly was absorbed into the Trident. Theseus let out an excited and nervous laugh as he looked at his Trident, then from the ground around him, vines shot out from the land. The vines shot towards yellow and as they did razor thorns grew on them. Yellow swung her sword slicing a few of the vines, but some managed to wrap around her arm the barbs digging into her skin. She hissed as her arm was restrained and the vines pulled on her arm, Yellow raised her arm ready to slice it. But along the vine Hippolyta came running towards Yellow, Yellow instead now swung her sword at Hippolyta only for the Amazon Queen to leap over it. Once in the air Hippolyta brought her bracelets together once more creating the massive shockwave again this time closer to Yellow's face. Her head was blown back, but the thorny vine wrapped around her arm kept her on her feet. From behind Doctor fate appeared and made a quick hand motion while muttering something in a language none but he understood.

"ELDRITCH BLAST!" He yelled as an enormous ankh symbol emerged from his hands

Yellow screamed as it impacted on her back leaving a mark on her back making her arch it as she was still being held up by the vine. Hawkman had just picked himself up off the ground and saw what was happening, though he immediately focused on Yellow's arm and flew towards it. He grabbed onto her finger and pulled out his mace.

"MINE!" Hawkman yelled holding the broken weapon, he then looked to Rose who was still picking herself up

"WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ROSE?! A FREAKING TARGET PAINTED ON HER?! HIT HER NOW!" Hawkman yells at Rose

She hears him and looks up seeing the teetering Yellow. Rose grit her teeth and her eyes glowed, her arms shaking as power began to build up inside her. Rose let out a roar as she threw her hand out and from it was a blast of green energy with pink crackles and arches coming out of it. The Beam flew forward and collided with Yellow Diamond's chin with a 'POW,' the vine released its hold on her arm. Yellow's head flew back her eyes wide in shock and pain as she was knocked off her feet. Her soldiers watched as she flew back and crashed onto the ground with a grunt. Yellow laid there for a moment groaning in pain.

"She's down, let's finish her!" Hawkman yelled. Holding his broken weapon ready to charge

"NO!" Rose yelled grabbing Hawkman's shoulder stopping him, he looked at her surprised

"I mean… we have to retreat now." Rose said

"Retreat? She's laying on the ground like an injured animal we can finish her and all this?!" Hawkman said

"I agree. All of her soldiers are safely away now." Theseus said

"They are both right. There will be no point to continue this fight, and I believe that she possesses more power that is yet to be shown. If we continue to fight and even if we do bring her down her forces will be ready to avenge her. Our strength will be needed for greater battles." Fate said

"A Battle greater THAN THIS!" Hawkman yells angrily

"If the man wants to die like a fool leave him," Hippolyta says annoyed

"BETTER A FOOL THAN A COWARD! Victory is in our grasps yet you all would rather…!" Hawkman yelled until Rose squeezed his shoulder

He turned with anger in his eyes, but it slowly softened as he looked at her. Her eyes were no longer glowing, and they could be fully seen. Katar could see the worry and exhaustion in her eyes.

"Katar…. Please." Rose said wearily

Katar looked at her conflicted clearly taking in consideration and seeing she was worn out from her previous show of power. Katar swallowed a lump in his throat as his body language softened, and he let out a sigh.

"How do you propose we leave?" Katar asked

"For that, I will require access to the green." Fate said turning to Swamp thing

"The Green is no force any human should bare." Swamp thing said

"I am more than a man, and you are one to speak with your origins." Fate said extending his hand

Swamp thing grumbled, but she took his hand green energy emanated when they touched. Fate brought his free hand up and began to chant his eyes now glowing green. Yellow groans as she picks himself up just in time to see the group that humiliated her now standing on a glowing green ankh symbol. Yellow scrambled to her feet ready to fire a bolt at them only for the ankh to envelope them, the last thing she saw of them was a smirk from Hawkman and a weary look from Rose. And with that, they were gone, and the battlefield was silent; all had just witnessed something incredible.

On a lone hill, a figure stood wearing a black cloak and with straight black hair overlooking the battlefield. The figure stood stoically upon the hill looking at the battlefield its body language neutral. Then from the center of the Battlefield, a bolt of Lightning shot into the sky followed by the furious roar of Yellow Diamond. The figure looked at it with disinterest though its body language did tense in anger. The dark figures hand wandered towards its waist a small bag hanging from its belt. The figures black sharp fingernails caressed it with a sense of tenderness.

"You were right, it's time for a new age," a female voice said darkly as the wind blew. Her cloak moved to reveal a smooth, pitch black, circular gem on her back. A dark twinkle in its void

1 day Later, Island in the Middle of the would be Atlantic

Pearl, Garnet, and Bismuth sat on the beach looking out towards the sea. It appears that they had just had a conversation.

"Wow, that's a lot to take in." Bismuth said surprised

"It was certainly a journey," Garnet said

"And you found some powerful allies." Bismuth said looking back seeing not only the gems but the Atlanteans and Amazons on the beach as well doing various things but keeping their distance from each other.

"There was more on this planet than we could ever imagine," Garnet said

"Certainly! Water-Humans, Humans who can fly, Humans made out of plants, and that thing Rose did! what was that?" Bismuth asked

"Honestly…... we still don't know," Garnet said worriedly

"I must've taken a lot out of her. She's been resting all day that flying-human has constantly been checking on her when you weren't around. And I just saw the others during the fight go to where she's at. I wonder what they're talking about?" Bismuth asked

"What comes next?" Pearl said looking at the ocean

Deeper in the Island was a cave, Rose and the others were there. Rose laid on a stone bed steadying her breaths. She looked at the others before sitting up.

"Hey, slow down. You still need to rest." Hawkman said no longer wearing his helmet and putting a hand on her forehead

"I'm fine Katar, really. And you know I don't have a temperature, I don't get sick." Rose said kindly moving his hand

Katar Grumbled at this leaning on a cave wall

"So…. You two are close?" Theseus asked not wearing his crown letting his long brown hair flow

"That is none of your business, Fish-Boy!" Katar said angrily

"I'm a Fish-Man actually," Theseus said simply, making Katar groan

"These are the allies who will help us save our world? We'd be better on our own Rose Quartz." Hippolyta said

"No, Hippolyta. We need to be together, only united can we win and save the Earth." Rose said getting to her feet

"She's right, I have foreseen the unification of the Earth to fight the coming Evil." Fate said his helmet removed showing his shaved head and a black goatee

"This is the guy who sent you to find us?" Hawkman said with a laugh pointing at Fate

"Yes, he came to me about a year ago, he foresaw the defeat of the Crystal Gems and the death of the Earth. We would not be enough, he told me about powers on this World, he said that they were the key to victory. That the three races must unite to fight for their homes. That representatives from each and beyond would come together and form a Society to fight the battles not meant for normal men." Rose said walking between the group

"I ask of you all to please join my cause. Fight for your world, for your future for Justice against the Diamond authority believing they can treat all those beneath them like nothing more than a tool to be disposed of and those who are different as things meant to cast out and dismissed without care." Rose said

"After that, I think Yellow will have to rethink her above everything position. But I'm up for a good fight." Hawkman said simply

"A society you say, a Justice Society?" Theseus said

"Of Earth. Will you fight?" Rose asked

"After what you've done for me, of course, I'll fight with you," Theseus said with a smile

"The Amazons will defend the Earth. Man and all, you have our strength Rose Quartz. May the gods guide us to victory." Hippolyta said raising a fist

"I will fight for the Green. If working with you will lead to the eradication of these parasites so be it." Swamp Thing said

"Yes…. There are some things we should discuss how this will work." Rose said nervously

"Just one thing," Katar said getting the others attention

"Back there, you said there would be greater battles. You brought this group together not because of Yellow's little army, but for something else. Something else. What are we dealing with?" Katar asked looking at Fate seriously

"I…. do not know. I felt it a year ago and approached Rose because of it. Something has been found, that should've remained lost. I can feel it gaining power even now." Fate said darkly

"He is right, the Green feels a disturbance. Something… sick was removed from the Earth and is beginning to grow." Swamp thing said seriously

"Wait…... this thing, that you don't know what it is, is supposed to be worse than what's happening right now?" Theseus said

"The invading gems are a threat to the Earth yet, but if this evil continues to grow, the price will be far greater for everyone." Fate said seriously

There was a deathly silence between them all after this revelation

"Right, Kick Yellow's arse and the arse of whatever this scary thing is right," Hawkman said simply making Rose smile

"I don't know what this threat is, but after that battle. What we did to Yellow, I can see our potential. Alone we are powerful, but together we can be unstoppable. We can win this war and save this world." Rose said filling the cave with hope among them and making Katar give a small smile

And in that cave on that day, the Golden Age of Heroes began. The greatest of the Earth came together to fight the Tyranny from the stars. For millennia after the gem war, Homeworld gems talk about the monsters of Earth capable of single-handedly taking down entire armies of Quartz soldiers without even trying. They tell tales of

The Aquaman, capable of controlling all water and everything within it. Able to overpower three Lapis Lazuli's and conjure fearsome storms

The Wonder Woman, a fierce skilled human who possess a blade that can pierce any gem and bracelets that could deflect a shooting star

The Swamp Thing, a being made from the Earth. Some say she cannot die even if her body is destroyed and that she can drain the life of any gem that was born on Earth

The Fate, a human with powers beyond what any gems have seen. Able to conjure things from nothing and bend reality to his will.

The Hawkman, a fearsome Earth monster who could shatter a whole army with a single swing of his deadly mace. A no soldier who faced him came back with a full gem

And finally, the Terrible Rose Quartz. A defective gem was leading the rebels. When she was injected into the Earth, she was infected by something terrible within the Earth. Gifting her with terrifying powers and twisting her mind. She can grow to incredible size, spitfire, and much more devouring gems wanting nothing more than to destroy Homeworld. She calls herself the Spectre.

Homeworld would come to fear THE JUSTICE SOCIETY OF EARTH.

(Note: Hello and welcome everyone to the continuation of Steven's DC Universe. I have been planning this one for awhile with the help of my new Co-Author Jadpeanut. We both put our heads together to start this story off with a bang for all of ya and quite the bang it was. Revealing the past of this universe's Gem War, I think we can all agree that even in the past DC's Earth was not defenseless. The Justice Society fought the good fight against homeworld for many years near the end of the gem war turning the tide of battle. More of what happens will be revealed in time, but the next chapter will jump forward into modern times so that we may catch up with out heroes. So you all know the events of this story take place after 'Shirt Club', but before 'Story for Steven'. If you like what you've read or have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to ya ASAP.

And all this wouldn't be possible without my Co-Author Jadpeanut. If you wanna see some of his awesome works you can find them at Archiveofourown and Twitter. Check him out he's a great guy and a great writer, I'm glad to have him :)
