Kyurem vs. The Crystal Gems

It was a bright, sunny morning in the grasslands. Tall grass blowing in the wind, the leaves of trees making noises, a beautiful waterfall splashing as it runs downstream, it was paradise. The tall grass also proved to be a great hiding spot, for a small pudgy boy.

This boy was the well know, half gem hero, Steven Universe. Steven is training with the Crystal Gems, a team of aliens that defend the earth from evil gems that threaten humanity's very being. He wasn't as powerful (or wise) as his fellow gems, but he would always find a way to fight alongside them.

Steven looked around in the tall grass, as if he was hunting for something. Gazing for about a minute he spotted a shadow like figure, starring right at him. Startled, Steven conjured his shield and got ready for the attack. The figure then leaped in the air, spun around and slammed what appeared to be a sword, right onto Steven's shield. Steven looked into the eyes of his opponent, who belonged to his good friend Connie Maheswaran . Steven pushed his shield forward, causing Connie to back flip out of the tall grass.

"Didn't think you'd see me" Connie said, looking at Steven with a smile.

"You didn't choose the best hiding spot" Steven replied, charging at Connie.

Connie blocked herself with her sword, as Steven rams his shield at her. Steven then started swinging his shield at Connie, making Connie dodge, block, and swing her sword at Steven. Connie then countered Steven, making him block. Steven swings his shield at Connie, making her back flip away.

"Defense Steven!" Shouted Garnet.

As Steven was training with Connie, they were both being monitored by the Crystal Gems themselves. Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst and...Lapis Lazuli? (←This will be explained later)

"So, what do you think?" Lapis asks Garnet "He's gotten much better."

"Steven is getting pretty strong" Amethyst claimed "Even for a boy his age."

"Do you think we should let him do the next mission on his own?" Pearl asks.

"Not yet" Garnet replied "He may have became much stronger, but he is not powerful enough on his own." Just as Garnet finished her sentence, Steven fell flat on his face, laughing.

"I see" Lapis said.

"Oh come on, Garnet" Amethyst said to the tall gem "I was pretty young when you let me go on missions alone."

"No you weren't" Garnet replied.

"Yeah, you're right" Amethyst said, sitting down and pulling out a bag of popcorn.

"Amethyst, how many times have I told you NOT to bring food?" Pearl said, glaring at the purple gem.

"Lost count" Amethyst said, mouth full of popcorn.

Lapis and Pearl looked at each other, Lapis just giving Pearl a slight shrug.

Steven and Connie were panting, both their weapons lowered to the ground.

"You're doing well, Steven" Connie said in between breaths.

"You too" Steven said "You wanna take a break?"

"Yeah" Connie said, her breathing slowly calming down "Sounds good"

"Hey guys?" Steven asked "Can we-"

"Do you wish to take a break, Steven?" Garnet asked the tired boy.

"Well...yeah, for a little bit." Steven told Garnet.

Steven, Connie, and the Crystal Gems just walked towards a group of tall trees for shade. Connie read a book to Steven, the gems just sat and relaxed and Lion (forgot to mention Lion was there to) just sat there. It wasn't long until both Steven and Connie fell asleep, snuggling each other.

"Look, the lovebirds are sleeping together" Amethyst said, nearly laughing.

"We should probably head back home" Pearl said getting up. But she was stopped by Amethyst.

"Oh come on Pearl, relax for once" Amethyst told Pearl "We wouldn't wanna ruin their moment."

Pearl sighed "Amethyst!" Pearl quietly yelled. "We will stay for a twenty more minutes...if it's ok with Garnet"

"If Lapis wants to stay for that long" Garnet says, sitting down.

"I-i guess" Lapis said, obviously to get everyone's attention away from her.

So the gems just sat there...for an hour. Steven woke up. Looking around, he noticed all of the gems happen to fall asleep. Even Lion was sleeping like a baby. Steven wanted to wake everyone up so they can go home, but this could be his only chance of going out on his own. He slowly got up from where he was sleeping, removed Connie's arms from him and sneaked away from the gems. Then he went from sneaking to walking, walking to sprinting, sprinting to running.

He felt free, powerful, as if he can take on the most powerful villains. He kept running down a dirt path, oblivious of where it was leading him. As he ran, his happiness started to disappear. The worm air started to become cold, freezing actually. Steven started to slow down, something didn't seem right. But it didn't stop Steven, he just continued to walk forward. As he walked forward, a strange mist came around, making Steven shiver.

"I probably should have brought a coat" Steven said, putting his arms around his body.

Looking past the mist, he saw a large cave, the cave seemed to be the source of this cold mist. Walking towards it, a sign stands to the left of it saying "Beware, keep out."

Steven asked himself "What would the gems do?" He weighed the options.

"Well, Garnet would walk forward, Amethyst would run inside without a care, Pearl would have second thoughts, and Lapis would flood the place with nearby water. So I'm going inside!"

Steven marched forward, walking inside the cave without a second thought. The cave was dark on the inside, but a light was not to far away.

"Hello?" Steven called out.

Steven kept walking, making his way to the other side of the cave.

"Whoa" Steven said in awe.

What he saw was incredible, the place seemed like an abandoned mine, which would explain why the mountain, seems more like an empty volcano. A long metal bridge witch lead to a humungous, square shaped, metal platform. .Steven walked forward, the air getting colder and colder as he advanced on the bridge. Then, something stopped him in his tracks, the sound of stomping came out of nowhere. Steven then saw, that at the end of the platform, a cave was slowly sending out the cold mist. The stomping got louder and louder, a set of yellow eyes, glowing in the darkness, staring at Steven. Steven gulped, walking forward to face who or what this "thing" is.

"Who dares invade the domain of the mighty Kyurem?" A fierce voice yelled.

Steven tried speaking, but couldent manage to get words out.

"WELL?!" The beast yelled again.

"I-i am Steven Universe" Steven said, trying his best to act brave.

The beast walked forward a little more, reveling itself to Steven.

"Are you here to challenge me to battle?" Kyurem asked

Steven didn't know what to say, some random beast, asking him to a fight? All Steven did was nod.

Kyurem walked out of the darkness, revealing icy, deformed wings.

"Do you really think, a small weakling such as you, can defeat me?" Kyurem asked.

"Sure I can!" Steven shouted "I am a Crystal Gem!"

Kyurem stopped for a minute, he recognized that title from somewhere, but he couldent remember where he heard it from. It didn't matter though. Kyurem walked forward, his "wings" pointed in opposite directions, firing icy winds on the ground. Then, ice began to expand, circling around the metal platform.

"Step into the ring, if you wish to battle me!" Kyurem told the young gem.

Steven walked forward, head held high. He wanted to show the gems he can fight even the most powerful beings. Walking inside the ring, Steven summons his shield and gets ready for battle. Kyurem prepared himself as well.

Meanwhile

The Gems, Lion, and Connie still remain sleeping, oblivious of what Steven has just gotten himself into. Amethyst, whilst sleeping, was chewing on a large patch of grass, probably dreaming about food. Garnet was dreaming of Ruby and Sapphire dancing on a floating disk in space.

Pearl was dreaming about Rose Quartz,it projected from her gem like a little movie, yet everyone was sleeping. Connie and Lion dreamed about going on adventures with Steven, fighting bad guys along the way, though Connie's was a little more...romantic. Lapis, however her dream was more like a memory. The day her and Jasper unfused.


Steven was playing on the beach with Connie, both of them sitting down as Connie read a book. It was all interrupted when they heard a faint voice.

"Steven!" it cried.

Steven recognized this voice.

"Lapis?" He asked himself.

Before he knew it, a large figure emerged from the water, breathing hard, as if they went years without breathing. Steven's eyes went wide once he realized who it was.

"J-Jasper!" Steven nearly yelled.

Jasper looked at Steven, rage burning in her eyes.

"You!" Jasper yelled "I'LL KILL YOU!"

Jasper then charged toward Steven and Connie, only to stop in her tracks when Lapis landed in front of her.

"Out of my way, you waste of space!" Jasper commanded.

"I'm not letting you hurt Steven!" Lapis told the angry gem.

Jasper and Lapis had a long and heartfelt staring match. Jasper was the first to break the silence.

"Why?" She asked "Why do you defend him, if he's not from our world?"

Lapis didn't respond, she just looked at Steven and Connie. Then, Jasper came up with an idea, a devious, maniacal idea.

"Tell ya what, Lapis" Jasper began "I'll leave the kid alone, but I got a deal though."

"W-what?" Lapis Asked.

As Jasper was about to speak the Crystal Gems came running out from the house, weapons in hand. Jasper smiled, evilly.

"I will leave this garbage planet, and the boy alone..." Jasper said "...But you have to stay here!"

"What!?" Lapis said, sounding as if she was about to cry.

"You heard me" Jasper said "You are a traitor in my eyes now, you don't deserve to come back home."

Lapis fell silent for a minute, it's true she had no opinion on the earth, but the fact she had to choose between her world and his was unbearable.

"Fine" Lapis said, looking down.

Jasper then grabbed her by the shirt, and pulled Lapis to her height.

"And take that diamond off of your outfit while you're here." she said, dropping her on the sand.

Jasper then walked towards the Crystal Gems.

"Bring me to your nearest warp pad" she commanded.

"We ain't showing you nothing" Amethyst yelled.

"Me and Lapis made a deal, she stays, I leave, NOW SHOW ME!"

The Gems looked at each other.

"Please, just let her leave" Lapis said, tears falling from her eyes.

The Gems fall silent for a second, until Garnet spoke up.

"Fine" She said "But if you come back, as Rose as my witness, I will kill you!"

Jasper knew this was coming from Ruby's side of the fusion, but it mattered not to her. The Gems led Jasper to the warp pad inside the house, while the others just stayed outside. Steven walked up to Lapis, falling to her knees as she let her tears soak in the sand.

"Lapis?" Steven asked.

Lapis conjured her wings, leaped in the air and splashed into the water. Steven and Connie stood there thinking about what all just happened. Jasper eventually met up with Peridot and both disappeared. Though the gems believed they will see those two again, the better question was "What about Lapis?" Lapis, overtime, became attached to the Crystal Gems, but mostly Steven. She doesn't really count herself as a Crystal Gem, but she does come on a few missions when she feels like it. Her outfit even changed, her outfit having long sleeves, the diamond turned to a star, and at the back of her outfit, a star shaped opening, reviling her gem. She even bonded with both Steven and Connie as her "Beach Summer Fun Buddies." She still missed her home, but it was all to protect Steven...

Lapis! Lapis wake up!" Yelled Amethyst.

Lapis started to get up.

"W-what's going on?" She asked the small gem.

"Steven's gone somewhere!" Pearl yelled "I knew we should have gone home!"

Everyone was awake, but worried, for Steven has disappeared.

"We should split up!" Connie suggested "We will be able to find him faster"

"Hey" Lapis said looking around "Where's the Lion?"

"Lion!?" Connie asked, realizing Lion had disappeared as well. Strangest thing is, he left Rose's sword behind.

Lion was running as fast as he could, smelling the sent of where Steven resided. He knew there was something with him, and it was much more powerful then he was. Lion had to get there, fast!


Kyurem ran at Steven as fast as he could, catching him by surprise.

"Shadow Claw" He yelled, as a dark-purple aura covered his left arm. He then swung his arm at Steven, slamming his attack onto his shield. Steven went skidding back really far, slamming into the ice wall.

"Wow, he's strong" Steven commented.

Steven darted towards Kyurem, holding his shield in front of himself. Kyurem then started to charge another attack, firing Dragon Pulse at him. Steven stood his ground, as a blast of energy slammed into his shield. Slowly moving back, Steven tried his best to push against the force of Kyurem's attack, quickly becoming tired from pushing so hard. Kyurem seized his firing, and charged at Steven. Steven, shield still in front of him, blocks the dragons headbutt, but flew back in the process. Steven, laying on the ground, looked at Kyurem, who appeared to be charging a white colored ball. Kyurem them fired three beams, shaped like a typical bolt of lighting. Steven rolls away, making the attack miss. Steven turns around, seeing a wall of ice in front of him.

"Oh, that was an Ice Beam" Steven told himself.

Kyurem took this advantage to strike Steven with another Dragon Pulse. Luckily, it only hit inches away from his feet. Snapping back to his senses, Steven summons his shield and runs toward Kyurem. Kyurem stood still, waiting for the boy to get to him. Steven leaps into the air, hoping to land an airstrike on Kyurem, but Kyurem slams his wings into his body. Kyurem then throws Steven off of his wing, making him skid across the floor like a hockey puck.

"Ow" was all Steven could manage to say. Steven started to smell a distinct whiff of iron, while feeling something leak out of his nose. Steven put his hand on his face, feeling the liquid from his nose. He was bleeding! He looked at the ice dragon,as he slowly walks up to him.

"Get up!" Kyurem demanded.

At this point, Steven realized he may have made a huge mistake. Kyurem lifted his foot, throwing it down at Steven. Steven quickly summons his shield, blocking his foot from crushing him.

"Pathetic!" Kyurem yelled "Stand up and fight me!"

"Please!" Steven begged "Let me get up!"

"A true fighter, WOULDEN'T BEG!" Kyurem yelled, using shadow claw to smack the poor boys shield away. Steven tried to get up, but Kyurem smacks him with shadow claw again, making him fly towards an ice wall.

"Fight me!' Kyurem yelled, charging and firing Dragon Pulse. Steven leaped out of the way, but was still propelled from the force.

"I-I'm sorry guys" Steven whispers "I shouldn't have wondered away from you."

Kyurem walks up to Steven, growling at him. Steven gets up and summons his shield again. He knew he started this, but now he needed to finish it.

"I may have made a mistake coming here..." Steven paused for a moment "But a Crystal Gem NEVER gives up!"

Kyurem was about to say something, but was stopped from the sound of a large roar. Steven and Kyurem looked over at the bridge to see Lion running in.

"Lion!" Steven cries.

"Do not interfere!" Kyurem yells, firing Dragon Pulse at Lion. Lion dodges the attack and unleashes his Concussive Roar attack. Kyurem tried his best to stay on his feet, but the winds of Lion's roar was enough to get him air born.

"Yeah, get 'em Lion!" Cheered Steven.

Lion stopped his roar attack, Kyurem still remained in the air looking down at the two fighters. Kyurem angry at this, started to glow blue. A ball of electricity appeared over his tail, infusing inside of him, Kyurem began to turn into a different form, a taller, bulkier, black form.

"He can transform?!" Steven asked.

"This!" Kyurem began "This is the form I obtained through the power of my brother, Zekrom!"

Steven was in shock (Get it?) there's more things like Kyurem? Lion looked at this new form, not fazed in anyway. Kyurem lunged toward Lion, ramming him with his shoulder. Lion tumbles on the ground, but quickly gets back up. Lion runs at Kyurem and slashes at his chest multiple times. Kyurem then used Shadow Claw, Lion ducks from it and hops up, biting his arm. Kyurem then whacks Lion off of his arm, making him skid toward Steven. Lion got up again, but was knocked back down by Kyurem. Lion used his Concussive Roar attack, pushing Kyurem away. Kyurem then fired Dragon Pulse, Lion taking it right in his face, blinding him for a brief moment. Kyurem then fired Ice Beam at Lion's feet, making him unable to move.

"Lion!" Steven called out.

Lion gave Steven a look, before his eyes turned pink. He then roared a portal under Steven, making him fall into it. But Steven hanged on to the ledge.

"No, Lion!" Steven Begged.

Steven begins to loose his grip, Lion had no choice but to use Concussive Roar, making him fall in. It closes leaving Lion behind to fight the ice dragon.

"DIE!" Kyurem yelled, flying higher into the sky.

Lion saw Kyurem's body get engulfed by electricity. Kyurem then made a large ball with the electricity.

"Freeze Shock!" Kyurem yelled, launching his attack.

Lion stood still, witnessing the large ball coming at him at full force. Lion's world soon turned white as the attack slammed into it's target. Kyurem landed on the ground, turning back to his normal form. Lion was frozen in a chunk of ice.


Steven looked around, he was back where he used to be. Steven shot up from the ground, the portal Lion made was no where to be found.

"Steven!" A voice yelled.

Steven looked over to see the Gems and Connie running up to him.

"Steven!" Pearl said "Where have you been?"

"I-I um?"

"Whoa dude" Amethyst said, looking at Steven's injures "What happened to you?"

Steven fell silent, he didn't want to tell them his encounter with Kyurem, for it might make him lose his opportunity for a solo mission. Besides, Lion can handle himself...right?

"I...fell from a hill!" Steven quickly said.

Pearl rolls her eyes "Ugh, Steven!" Pearl said in her motherly voice "If you want to go on solo missions you need to be more careful."

"I know" Steven told Pearl "I'm sorry."

Steven looked at the Gems, Amethyst and Connie had pleased looks, Garnet...who knows, but she's happy, but Lapis, she knew he was lying. But seeing how he was her closest friend, she kept her mouth shut.

"Now come on, Steven" Pearl told Steven, grabbing his arm "Let's go home and clean you up"

Meanwhile

Kyurem looked at the frozen sculpture that was now Lion.

"Stupid cat!" Kyurem said, Kicking the ice off the metal platform.

The ice fell 2 stories from the platform to the ground below, not even cracking as it made contact on the lower level of the mine. Kyurem looked up to the sky, the boy may be gone, but he has his sent on his nose. He wasn't allowing himself to lose this one.

"Mark my words, Steven Universe" he said "Our battle isn't over..."


Sup guys. just for a heads up, in this story, Kyurem is NOT (Or technically not) a Pokemon, nor is he a gem monster (no one knows where he comes from) later chapters are probably going to be shorter, mostly because there isn't going to be a long dream sequence explaining things, so yeah.
