Chapter 1

Steven and the Gems were hanging out at Beach City. They were playing in Funland arcade. Garnet was playing Whacker man, but ended up getting a little bit aggressive with it. All that was left was a twisted broken husk. Garnet suddenly began grabbing her head in pain. Pearl, Amethyst and Steven ran to her side.

Pearl: Garnet? What's wrong?

Garnet: Gr...something...I have to check.

Garnet leapt out of the building with no hesitation. Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven followed her to the house, only to see her warp away.

Amethyst: Where's she going?

Pearl: To check on something, I suppose.

Steven: Something must've been hurting her. I hope she's ok.

Garnet warped to a secret building, illuminated by a single blue crystal. She walked up to it putting her hands on it.

En taro Tassadar, Garnet: Leader of the Crystal Gems. Why do you contact us now?

Garnet: En taro Tassadar. I contact you now because I sensed something. Something that I hoped would be fake. But, I fear now it may be real. Are they coming to Earth?

...Yes. They are coming to Earth to infest and grow.

Garnet: You have to help us. Send someone down to help us fight, please.

Very well. We will send you the Dark Prelate to help you. Good luck.

Multiple phase warps began appearing, and a single energy disk floated over, spawning an alien warrior.

At the house, Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven were waiting for Garnet's return. Garnet suddenly warped in with an unfamiliar figure. He had dark grey skin with green eyes. He wore golden bracelets, shoulder pads, knee pads, and ankle pads each with a green gem. He wore a red cloak over his mouth with a golden vest and a purple cloth over his front and back. His legs had multiple joints, two toed feet and three fingered hands.

Alien: En taro Tassadar, fellow heroes. I am Dark Templar Prelate Zeratul.

Steven: What?

Garnet: I needed to contact them. They are coming.

Pearl: No. They can't be after we drove them back.

Amethyst: Who?

Pearl: Them!

Amethyst: Oh...them.

Steven: Who's them? Who's he? What's going on?

Pearl: Steven. You need to know something about us. About Gems. Before our race was known as the Gems, we were part of an even larger, more powerful race of beings. We were once known...as the Protoss.
