Okay everybody this is the first chapter in my story. I do not own anything related to Steven Universe. It is owned by Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon Network. This story continues from my previous story " The Awakening".
We start out in front of Steven's house where we see him training with the other gems. (Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.)
Steven looks like he is fighting Amethyst and he has his shield out blocking her whips. Then Steven threw his shield at her. She managed to dodge, but Steven lunged forward with his new speed and was about to grab her, but she quickly moved and grapped his arms and flipped him onto the ground. Then she looked down at him and said,
" Nice try little man, but you still can't beat this."
" Aahh man, I was so close that time." Steven said.
" You are getting better." Garnet said
"Yes your skills are improving quickly." Pearl added, which made Steven a little happier.
" Yeah, that was pretty cool." the Gems and Steven looked over and see Trona looking at them. Then she said, " Sorry if I'm interrupting."
" No, it's fine." Steven said. Steven was more than happy to except the new comers, but even after a month the Crystal Gems were still weary about trusting them.
Trona then said, " Why are you guys training out here?"
" What do you mean?" Steven said.
Then Trona had a grin on her face and said, " I'll show you what I mean."
Then she grapped Steven's hand and started dragging him towards the new comers ship with the Crystal Gems following. The new comers had made a giant hole in one of the cliffs to put their ship in as a way not to draw any attention. They also re-painted the ship the color as the rocks in the area to help it blend in.
Trona then put her hand on this hand indent in the ship and then the door opened. Then she and Steven entered the ship with the Crystal Gems closely behind. They entered and were walking down a long green hallway when they first came to a small room with the four other new comers sitting and looking at panels. Then Trona said,
" Hey guys."
"Hello Trona." Dolomite said and then he saw the others and said, " And hello Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven. What are you doing here."
" I was wondering if I could..." She was interrupted by a loud laughter coming from Adamite who looks like he is watching a hologram. Then he said, " Man, these humans did something right, when they invented television."
He the got a smack on the back of the head from Zo. Then Dolomite said, " How about you stop sitting there and help a little."
Adamite thought for a moment and then said, " Nah, I'm good."
Then he started spinning around on his chair like it was a toy, but Dolomite then grapped the chair and spun the chair at super speed causing Adamite to go flying off and straight into the wall. He then got up and tackled Dolomite and the two began to struggle on the ground for a bit and then start swinging at each other and then Steven said,
" Guys, stop it..." But he was interrupted by Trona saying, " Don't worry about it, Steven."
Steven and the Crystal Gems were surprised by this and Steven said, " What do you mean?"
" Those to fight like that all the time." Trona said. Steven was even more confused.
" But isn't that bad."
" Nope, Just wait and see."
The gems were still confused and then we see Dolomite and Adamite still fighting and then Tanzanite appears out of nowhere behind them and hits them, sending them both flying to opposite ends of the room on their faces. Then Tanzanite says, " Are you to good now?"
They both said, "Yes."
Then Tanzaniteite walked over and said, " Good. Now what were you saying Trona."
" Oh yeah." She said remembering what they were there for. " I was wondering if we could show them our training bay."
The new comers all perked up and looked at Trona then Tanzanite said, " Well, ... I guess we could, but only if they want to."
The Crystal Gems nodded and then the new comers stood up and brought the gems to a door. Then the three new comers gems glowed and the doors opened and revealed a very large green room, that had nothing inside.
The gems were once again confused and Amethyst asked, " Um, what are we doing here?"
"You'll see in a second." Trona said with a large grin on her face. Then Tanzanite said, " Zo begin sequence A 23."
" Yes sire." we here Zo respond over a speaker. Then the room starts glowing and the all of a sudden the gems appeared to be in the middle of a rocky area with a clear blue sky.
" What!?" the gems all said. Then Dolomite said, " Welcome to our ships training area. It is a room that through some of our most advanced technology it appears you are in a real place."
" Wow!" Both Steven and Amythest said. Even Garnet and Pearl were amazed by this. Then Tanzanite said, " Now, since you guys are just starting at this we will give you something easy."
" You're goin' make them fight Dolomite." Adamite said mocking Dolomite, who delivered a smack to the back of Adamite's head.
" Ow" he said. Tanzanite then continued and said,
" Zo. Send the programs in, level one."
" Programs?" Steven asked then all of a sudden they surronded by what appeared just to be people in yellow morph suits with black strips.
The Gems were surprised by this and immedtly pulled out their weapons, but before they could attack Adamite said,
" Whoa dudes, chill-ax."
" But there are intruders in your ship." Garnet said. Then Dolomite said,
" Actually, these are what we call 'programs'. They are computer generated enemies designed to test the skills of the gems who use the training area."
Then the programs pull out swords. Then the new comers pulled out their weapons.
" You guys ready?" Adamite asked. Then the programs charged at the gems.
Of coarse the gems pulled Steven behind them. While the new comers charged in all blades. Tanzanite was stabbing the programs left and right. Adamite was knocking them all away with his nun-chucks. Dolomite was slashing threw them and Trona had just pulled out two yellowish gray dagger looking things, then she pulled it and now she had two fans with blades at the ends and a picture of her gem in the center. Now she started swiping at all the programs that went after her.
The Crystal Gems appeared to be having more trouble dealing with the programs. Garnet was trying to punch them, but the programs were fast and just kept jumping out of the way and hitting her every chance they got. Amethyst tried to whip them, but the programs caught her whips and she started to get kicked and punched from behind. Pearl swings with her spear was met with an empty space and punches and kicks.
Steven was using his shield to block the program's attacks. Then one got behind him and hit him into a rocky wall. Then their was a large crack going up the rock because his shield hit the wall hard. Then a large chunk of rock fell right down, but Steven couldn't get away in time and the others weren't close enough to help him either and the rock fell on him.
The Crystal Gems all screamed, " STEVEN!"
Then we see the rock and Steven walks right through it. The gems were all confused except the new comers who just kept fighting. Then a green floor panel came under Steven and he was lifted into the air.
Pearl said, " Um, what just happened?"
" Stop it Zo." Dolomite said then all of the programs froze where they were. Then the new comers turned towards the gems and Dolomite said,
" You see in our training area you can train and fight as much as with low risk of injury because the computer can predict exactly when a weapon or anything deadly makes contact and prevents you from actually getting hurt. Then it brings you up there until the others 'fake' die or the simulation is over."
" All right Zo, restart the simulation." Tanzanite said. Then the programs unfroze and started their attack again. It took awhile until the simulation it ended up with Steven and Amethyst being fake killed, Garnet and Pearl looking like they're really tired, and the new comers looked just fine.
Adamite looked at Garnet and Pearl and said, " Was that tough for you guys?"
Garnet and Pearl looked angery at him because they understood he was mocking them.
"Adamite, you have to understand that they were unfamiliar with our type of training. It's understandably for them to be caught off guard by the programs." Dolomite said.
Amethyst and Steven came floating down from where they were watching the fight.
" Yeah, I guess you're right." Adamite said.
" So do you guys wanna go another round?" Tanzanite asked.
" No, I think we're good." Pearl said.
" Okay." Tanzanite said.
" Wow, this place is so cool." Steven said.
" You are correct, Steven." Trona said, then she got another grin on her face and said, " Hey do you guys want a tour of the ship?"
" Yeah!" Steven said.
The new comers looked at each other and then Tanzanite said, " Well, I guess they could." he said a little uneasily.
They all then left the training area. Then Tanzanite said, " Okay you've already seen the basic areas of the ship. Now it's time we showed you the rest."
Then he turned back towards the door and his gem glowed and the door re-opened and this time we see some sort of room filled with floating hologram screens.
" This is our communications room." Dolomite said. Steven was about to walk in, but then the new comers closed the door. Before Steven could ask why the new comers opened up another room. Filled with a bunch of boxes.
" This is our storage area where we keep stuff like extra parts to the ship. Though most of this stuff was damaged when we landed." Dolomite said.
Then they closed the door. Then they re-opened the door and this time it was a room filled with floating screens and machines.
" This is the maintenance room, where we keep up to date on how our machines are doing." Tanzanite said.
" It's also where we recharge Zo." Adamite said and then they looked over and saw Zo walk over to a large plug and put it in the back of his head.
" All right well that's pretty much it." Adamite said. Then they closed the door.
" Wait, you forgot to show them our rooms." Trona said.
Dolomite then said, " I don't think it really matters."
" Yeah it does. I wanna see." Steven said with excitement in his eyes.
" All right, we were heading to our rooms anyway." Tanzanite said. Then Adamite stepped forward and his gem glowed and the door opened to see that his room was huge and literally filled with mountains of stuff.
Everyone walked in while Steven and Amethyst ran in.
" Wow, this is amazing." Steven said.
" Yeah, you got a lot of good junk in here." Amethyst said.
" Hey, this isn't junk. I like to call it 'exotic treasures'." Adamite said while jumping on a tower of junk..
" I prefer to call it trash." Dolomite said as he pushed some of the junk out of his way. " This is just a bunch of junk you took from every planet we land on."
" Whatever man. If I think it's cool and no one wants it, then I take it." Adamite said.
" The reason no one wants it is it's a bunch of junk." Dolomite said.
"Hey, it's his room you should let him do what he wants." Amethyst said joining him on top.
"Thank you." Adamite said happy some one finally agrees with him.
" Hey Adamite, Amethyst keeps a lot of junk in her room to." Steven said, " You guys have something in common." He said excitedly.
Then Tazanite walked over and said " Okay, time to go. You coming." he said to Adamite and Amethyst.
They looked at each other and then Amethyst said, " Nah, I think we're good."
" All right then." Dolomite said, then him and the others left. Then they closed the door and Dolomite' gem glowed and he opened the door and this time they entered what appeared to be a gigantic library.
" Woah." Steven said. " What is this place?"
" This is my room." Dolomite said while walking. " While Adamite collects his trinkets of junk. I collect trinkets of knowledge. I have collected books and other some such things from planets across the universe."
" This is very impressive." Pearl said. " Do you have anything written by someone on Homeworld?"
" Yeah sure." Dolomite said. Then he pulled out a book and handed it to Pearl. She then opened it and began reading.
" Okay, I think that's enough why don't we head to Tanzanite's room." Trona said. Tanzanite, Garnet, Steven, and Trona then left leaving Pearl and Dolomite reading. Tanzanite opened the door with his gem and they entered and they see a room that has almost nothing in it just a small mat, a shelves with all sorts of weapons and other things, a small wooden looking training dummy, and the only thing different in his room was it had a big tree with blue bark and green leaves with glowing orbs attached to some of the branches.
Of coarse Steven was amazed and said, " WOW! It's amazing."
" It's nothing really, Steven." Tanzanite said. Garnet then walked over to shelf and started looking at the weapons.
" Where did you get these?" Garnet asked, picking up a spear from the shelf.
" Oh, those. I took them from some of the greatest opponents I've faced. Just some keep sakes." Tanzanite said, " And some of that is thousands of years old so,..."
He stopped when he saw Steven trying to reach for one and he appeared out of no where behind him and grapped his hand.
"Try to be careful with them." Tanzanite let go of Steven's hand and Steven backed up a little. Garnet then put back the spear. then she walked over to the tree and started looking at the glowing orbs on it. Steven joined her then he asked,
" What is this?"
" That is a tree from sector 8857, on the planet Tarom. I got a seed and planted here."
" Wow, all your rooms are so cool." Steven said.
" You should check out my room, Steven." Trona said.
" Okay."
Then he and Trona ran out of Tanzanite's room.
" Aren't you going to go with him?" Tanzanite asked Garnet.
" No, I think he'll be fine." Garnet responded.
Then we leave them and now we see Steven and Trona in a yellowish gray room as big as Steven's whole house. It had five rows a bigger versions of Trona's gem a long the wall. She also had a few rows of shelves in the walls and they had just a few books, weird looking objects and just a few other weapons and on the walls was a few different pictures of her and the others. Trona actually had a bed with a yellowish gray blanket on top that she was jumping on.
" Cool room." Steven said.
" Thanks."
" But I have a question."
" Go ahead."
" Why exactly do you have a bed? I thought gems don't need sleep. "
" We don't. I just like to lay down once and a while and relax." She said while she stopped jumping."
" Oh, I think I get it. It was really cool of you guys to give us a tour of your ship."
" It was no problem."
" How about I return the favor?"
" What?"
" I can give you and the others a tour of Beach City!"
" Umm ... I'm not so sure about this"
" Don't worry. It will be fun."
Steven then grapped her hand and started to drag her out of her room.
Okay everyone I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter in my new story.
