Chapter one: The New Journey Begins
Hey everybody, it's your boy, Jaroberts251, and I'm here to bring y'all the trilogy to my other two stories, 'A visit to the Mystery Shack and A visit to Beach city' and I just to let y'all know that two other shows will be thrown into the mix of this story, so I hope y'all will enjoy. Now on with the story...
It been about five to six months since we last left the team of Dipper, Steven, and the other had captured and contained the dangerous team of Bill Cipher and Yellow Diamond, in which shortly after they were captured they escape without Dipper, Steven or the others knowing. Since then thing have settled down and everyone else have moved on to continue their normal lives; Steven and the Pines' twins stayed in contact with each other more often, Mable and the other girls still talks with one another with each other which usually them all saying, 'who Steven likes the best'.
(Present day...)
At the Temple, it was completely peaceful as our favorite gem/human, Steven universe, was lying down in his bed as he was taking the day off from going on Gem mission to relax.
'Man this day is relaxing, but it's kinda boring.' He thought to himself.
Soon his thoughts were interrupted by noise catching his attention Steven sits up in his bed to saw the warp pad in the living room starting to activating.
"Hey the Gems are back." Steven said, hopping off his bed.
When the light from the warp pad dimmed, there stood The Crystal gem; Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, talking.
In a quiet voice, Amethyst asked, "How long do we have to find them."
"For as long as it takes until we find them." Garnet answered.
"Yeah we just got to keep this from Ste-" Pearl statedb efore being interrupted by a voice calling out to them.
"Hey guys." The voice said.
They all turned around to see Steven headed towards them.
"Hello Steven." Garnet said.
"Sup Steven." Amethyst said.
"Greeting Steven." Pearl said.
Steven stopped in front of Garnet as he asked, "how was the mission?"
"Oh the mission was...was-" A nervous Pearl spoke in a nervous voice before Garnet said, "the mission was fine Steven."
"Okay that good to hear." Steven smiled.
"So Steven, how was your day off?" Amethyst asked.
"It was alright, but to be honest it was boring being here all by myself." Steven replied.
"Boring? Shouldn't Connie, Lapis, and Peridot be here to play with you and hang out?" Pearl asked.
"Yeah they would but unfortunately they were all busy; Connie had to go to tennis practice, and Lapis is helping Peridot with her latest invention." Steven explained.
"Then why didn't you call your friends, Dipper and Mabel in Gravity falls?" Pearl asked.
"Oh I forgot today Dipper and I are supposed to talk today. Thanks for reminding me Pearl." Steven thanked, then turning around and headed back to his room.
Steven left, Pearl sighed and whispered, "at least he doesn't know about the upcoming dangerous alliance that's being born."
Garnet placed his placed her hand on Pearl shoulder and said, "and he won't have to because we're gonna stop them before they can cause this world any harm."
"You're right and besides we're a lot stronger than last time so we can handle them." Pearl agreed with more confidence
(With Steven)
Steven made it back to his room and he hopped on his bed, where he reached under his pillow and pulled out his cell phone and punched in a number. After he was done he placed the phone to his ear as it started to ring.
'I wonder what the Pines' family is up today.' Steven thought to himself.
(In Gravity falls)
Dipper was sweeping up the floor of the Mystery Shack gift shop as because it was getting ready to close. He placed the broom in the closet and he said, "I'm finally done Grunkle Stan."
"Okay Dipper." Stan replied from the other room.
When the gift shop's phone started ringing and Grunkle Stan to Dipper, "before you go to your room could you answered that and tell them we're closed."
"Alright Grunkle Stan." Dipper agreed.
Dipper walked over to the phone and picked it up as he said, "hello you've reached the Mystery Shack, but unfortunately were closed and you'll have to call back tomorrow."
"Oh if that how it is then I'll just call back tomorrow." The caller replied.
"Is that you Steven?" Dipper asked.
"Yo Dipper it me." Steven replied.
"Man Steven how have you've been since we last talked?" Dipper asked.
"Oh I've been fine I took today of to relax while the gems are on a new mission." Steven answered.
"Nice you deserve that since your are half- human." Dipper said.
"Yeah I guess so, anyway did anything new happen with you and Mable?" Steven asked.
"Oh nothing much, but Mable do have a new boyfriend." Dipper replied.
"Wait she what?" Steven asked, worried.
Hearing Steven voice, Dipper started to laugh and said, "No I'm just kidding boy you should've heard the way your voice changed when I told you that if only if I was able to see your face."
"Hey that's not funny." Steven said, getting mad.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry I'm sorry." Dipper said calming down. "Anyway how are the others?" He asked.
"Well they are fine, the gems just came back from a mission, but they were acting weird like they're keeping something from me or something." Steven said.
"Then whatever they are probably hiding must be really serious if they are keeping you in the dark about it, but they'll tell when the time is right." Dipper said.
"I hope you are right." Steven stated.
"Yeah I'm sure remember when we talked about seeing your friend, Lapis again and look who so happen to attack us on the beach." Dipper replied.
"Thanks Dipper, you're were good help." Steven said.
"No problem Steven I'm just being a friend. Alright I got to so I'll talk to you later." Dipper replied, getting ready to hang up the phone.
"Dipper wait." Steven said.
When hearing what Steven said, Dipper stopped what he was about do as he asked, "yes what up Steven?"
"I want to know what your doing tomorrow." Steven said.
"Oh well I got nothing planned, but Mable having a sleepover with her two friends, Grenda and Candy, why?" Dipper asked.
"Well since I got another day-off schedule tomorrow I was thinking maybe we can hang out again just you and me with no gems or love pentagons around." Steven suggested.
"So you want the two of us to hang out without any girls or gems getting involving to make thing worse by getting into arguments and embarrass?" Dipper clarified.
"Yeah that kinda what I mean." Steven replied.
"I'm in because I needed a reason to avoid my sister's crazy sleepover and I like to hang out with the only guy friend I have that my age." Dipper said.
"Alright since it is settled, so I'll see you tomorrow then, goodbye Dipper." Steven replied.
"Yeah goodbye Steven." Dipper said.
With that both boys hung up the phone and went to do their own business, but little did both boys know that they both were being watch by four shadowy figures in an undisclosed location, through two magical screens, one to right was showing Steven universe, while the one to the left showed Dipper pines.
"Creature of the different the multiverse my name is Bill Cipher and the figured standing next to me is my associate, Yellow diamond, and today we brought you'll here is because these two on the screens are the reason" The first figured said.
The two shadowy figure looked at the two boys on each screen and one of the figured decided and said, "so the two of y'all decided to recruit us so y'all can take out two kids that obviously look like y'all can takeout by yourselves?"
"No that not the only reason we brought you'll here. We brought y'all here to bring to form an alliance because after all me and my associate were defeated by the universe boy, pine tree, and their friends, but we escaped our containment and decided to recruit some villains from not across our universe, but from across the multiverse and when do so we looked for any figures that has the same amount of power as me and my associate." Bill stated.
"Cipher does this explanation have a purpose or does you just love to hear yourself talked?" The other figured asked.
"Actually Beast of the Unknown it does because in each of our dimension, there is one thorn in our side that preventing you from taking the world, wiping out all existence, or simply turning hopeless kids into Edelwood trees to fuel your lantern. So what I'm trying to say is that if you'll join us and together we'll not only be able to crush those little brats, but we can utterly destroy them" Bill replied. "Now tell me are you in or not?" He asked.
The Beast and the last shadowy figure started to think about Bill's offer for a moment. After taking a moment to think it over they both looked back over to Bill as they each gave their answers.
"I accept your offer because I want to get rid of that goody two human boy that prevented me from wiping out all existence in my dimension." The last shadowy figure said.
"Okay Orgalorg or should I say the Lich king is with us so what about you, Beast." Bill implied.
"I also accept because as we finish destroying our enemies I can turn their's leftover bodies into Edelwood tree so I can harvest the oil in which I can use to brighten up my lantern for a very long time." The Beast agreed.
"Alright I just know that y'all will see it my way." Bill said, happy.
"Bill." Yellow Diamond spoke, getting his attention.
Bill turned to face Yellow Diamond as he said, "yes Yellow Diamond."
"Okay not saying that these alliance isn't going to work, but do you even have a plan on how are we even going to get the kids let alone destroying them?" She asked.
"Don't worry Yellow Diamond I got these cover because for the last five to six months since we were defeated I've been thinking of a perfect full proof plan and since pine tree and the universe boy are going to meet up tomorrow so I think it would be a perfect time to strike and all you guys got to is follow my lead." Bill replied.
"Alright I'll trust you, Cipher, but your plan better not fail again like last this time." Yellow Diamond said.
"And it won't just trust me I know what I am doing, have I ever steer you wrong?" Bill asked.
When hearing that was asked, all Yellow Diamond do was rolled her eyes at his question as she remember the last time she trusted him, she ended up trapped in a bubble.
"Whatever." She spoke
"Anyway, now that our alliance is formed I suggest that since Pine tree and the universe boy are meeting up tomorrow I think it would be a perfect time to strike and put my plan into action, do y'all agree?" He asked.
Yellow Diamond, The Lich, and The Beast all looked at each other before they all nodded their heads and the Beast spoke for them and said, "okay we'll do it."
"Good and now that you'll are in agreement, we'll attack tomorrow, so we'll need to start the preparation so follow me." Bill replied, then turning away from them and floating out the room.
The rest of them just followed behind Bill as they were about to start the preparation for whatever Bill has in stored for our heroes.
(Next Day with Steven)
It was morning at Beach city and Steven was in his room as he was changing out of his pajamas and into his normal clothes as he was getting ready to hang out with Dipper as he did so that when Pearl came walking into his room.
"Morning Steven, what are you planning on do today?" She asked.
When hearing her voice Steven turned to face her as he replied, "oh morning Pearl, well today I'm going to hang out with Dipper."
"So your hanging with the pine twins." Pearl said.
"Actually no I'm just hanging with Dipper, so were having some bro time." Steven corrected, then looking at a clock. "Oh look at the time I better get going before I'm late." He added, then walking out of his room with Pearl following behind him.
Steven stepped on to the warp pad and turned to turn around and said, "okay see you later Pearl and if the other asked tell them I'm hanging out with Dipper okay."
"Okay Steven I will, but just promise me that you'll be safe because there are a lot of dangers out there." Pearl replied, sounding worry.
"Don't worry Pearl I'll be safe and if we do run into danger that I can't handle I'll be sure to call you guys for help." Steven smiled.
"Alright bye Steven have fun." Pearl said.
"Okay bye Pearl I'll be back tonight." Steven replied.
With that the warp pad surrounded him in an ultraviolet glow as he started to levitate. Next, Steven was teleported through the bright light.
(Let's go to Dipper)
At the Mystery Shack, Dipper was fully dressed in his usual attire and was topping off his outfit by putting on his original white and blue pine tree as he was about head out to meet with Steven. Dipper walked downstairs to head out front door as he was about to leave when a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Where do you think you're going mister." The voice said.
Dipper turned around as looked to see his Grunkle Stan wearing his usual lazy day attire; a wife beater, a pair of blue with white stripes boxers, and his slippers.
"Oh hey Grunkle Stan." Dipper said, nervously.
"Don't 'oh hey Grunkle Stan' me, where do you think you're going." He asked.
"Umm, well since the shop is closed for today I'm going to hang out with a friend?" Dipper answered.
"Uh huh, which friend?" Stan asked.
"My friend Steven, Steven Universe." Dipper replied.
"That kid? Oh alright, but make sure you're back home by nightfall because I'm going to need your help to clean up the mess your sister and her friends are bound to make." Stan said.
"Okay I will, but before I forget if Mable ask where I am tell her I'm hanging with Pacifica." Dipper replied.
"And may I ask why?" Stan asked.
"It because she'll be mad at me for not tell her I got in contact with Steven she kinda crazy for him and the surprising thing about that is he like her back." Dipper answered.
"Wow that is surprising, but don't worry I got your gotcha I won't tell Mable." Stan said.
"Thanks Grunkle Stan." Dipper replied.
"No problem Dipper." Stan said.
With that Dipper smiled then ran out of the front as he continued on his head off to meet up with Steven.
(Ten minute later)
Dipper arrived at the warp pad located outside of town as he arrive there he found Steven sitting on the warp pad as he appears to be waiting.
"Hey Steven." Dipper said trying to get his attention.
When hearing his name being called, Steven turned around to see Dipper walking up to him.
"Hey Dipper." He said, getting up from where he was sitting.
"Hey man I'm sorry I kept you waiting man my Grunkle Stan caught me as I was trying to make it out of the house." Dipper apologized.
"Don't be sorry I just got here a few minutes ago myself so it ain't like I waited long." Steven said.
"Okay anyway what do you want to do?" Dipper asked.
"Well I thought we go can explore the ruins of the lost homeworld that exploded five to six months ago and see if we can find anything that survive the explosion." Steven suggested.
"Nice can't wait and if we do find anything we can make a video for my YouTube channel discussing about it and what it does." Dipper replied.
"Cool you have a YouTube channel?" Steven asked.
"Yeah ever since the first Summer I came to visit Gravity falls." Dipper replied.
"Nice anyway let's get going." Steven said.
"Yeah let's go." Dipper agreed
With that both boys stepped on the warp pad. After they were on Steven's gem started to glow causing the warp pad to activate surrounding them in a ultraviolet light as they teleported off. As they were traveling through the warp stream in another location their enemies we're ready to strike.
"There are on the move the move now it time for phase one, Lich king, you're up now do thing we prepared you for." Bill said.
"Yes Cipher." The Lich agreed.
The Lich started to exhale black smoke from his mouth as he did that in the ultraviolet beam that contained Steven and Dipper, the ultraviolet light started to turn a dark mixture of green and black, which caught their attention.
"Umm... Steven do this usually happens when you use the thing?" Dipper asked, sounding worried.
"No this never happened before." Steven replied, just as worried.
Then suddenly speed of the beam started to increase moving Dipper and Steven started to move across the warp stream at high speed. Next, the beam suddenly shot up in what appeared to be a dark thick forest. The Boys were suddenly dropped out the sky, the two of them landed with a loud thud on the ground, not a warp pad.
"Oww did anyone get the license plate of that truck?" Dipper asked, sitting up from spot we was laying at. " Where am I?" He asked as he looks around to see he's in an unknown forest.
As Dipper looked around, he notice that Steven was lying a few feet away from him. When seeing Steven, Dipper got up from where he was and headed over to him and started to wake him up.
"Hey Steven, wake up man." Dipper said.
During the progress of trying to wake Steven up, Steven's eyes started to open looked to see Dipper standing over him and Steven said, "umm Dipper."
"Okay Steven it good to see that you're alright." Dipper said, then stepping back to give Steven some space.
Steven sat up from his spot rubbing the back of his head as he replied, "yeah I'm alright," then he looked around to notice they were in a mystery forest, "hey where are we?"
"I don't know I was kind of hoping that you would know." Dipper replied.
"Well I'm afraid I can't answer that question, but I do know one thing we aren't at the Gem battlefield that for sure." Steven stated.
