Steven universe x history's strongest disciple.
Disciples aren't human.
chapter one: Strongest disciple
t was a nice day in beach city and everything was cleaned up after jasper and Peridot's invasion, everyone was getting back to doing the things they do. While the gems where on a hunt to look for Peridot's crashed ship and the fused Lapis and Jasper that was now somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.
Steven however was sitting on the beach in deep thought on the things that have happen the past few days. "man things have gotten pretty crazy the past few days, it seems like we got lucky with how thing turned out. if i was just stronger then thing wouldn't have gotten so bad, Lapis is trapped at the bottom of the ocean with jasper and Peridot is doing who knows what. if only i was as strong as garnet, pearl or amethyst." Steven thought to himself out loud.
"if mom was here instead of me she would have been able to stop them and save Lapis. maybe its because i'm not a full gem like the others, maybe its because i'm human that i'm so weak. They all seem so much stronger than me, if only there was someway to become as strong as them but i have no idea how to." Steven said as he sighed.
"i can't be a burden to them any longer. we might not be as lucky the next time, I have to become strong!." Steven told himself. "Steven!" can a voice down the beach it was his friend Connie Maheswaran that he became friend with after they had gotten trapped in his magic bubble.
"Hey Connie what are you doing here?" Steven asked "my parents gave me some money for today cause my dad got a raise at work, want to head into town and buy something?" Connie asked Steven. "sure i was just thinking about something so ya ill come with you into town with you." said Steven.
"what were you thinking about? was it the stuff that happen with those gem you told me about?" Connie asked as she and Steven where walking to the commercial district. "ya I've been thinking on how i can get stronger but i have no idea how too get as strong as the other gems, if i can't find a way then there's no way i can protect anyone. I think it because i'm not a full gem like the others." Steven told Connie.
"Steven you are strong you've done so many thing before that prove that." Connie said to Steven " No i haven't Connie I've only gotten by on luck and with the help of the other gems, and this invasion proved that to me, it was luck that got us out of that mess. if my mom was here she would have beaten Jasper and stopped Peridot and saved Lapis without anyone getting hurt or captured." Steven said with sadness in his voice and some tears starting to form in his eyes.
Connie looked to here friend and felt bad that he felt this way about himself and tried thinking up a way to make him happy, spotting a store nearby she remembered that was why they came into town in the first place. " hey Steven lets go into that store and see if they have something we can get ill buy you something my treat." Connie said with a bright smile. Steven smiled he could always count on his friend to cheer him up "YA!" shouted Steven.
Connie and Steven rushed into the store from the looks of it it was small store that had some toys, food and other objects like swimwear. they looked around the store for a bit and picked out some toys and snacks they walked up to the store clerk to purchase the items they picked out as they where paying for there items they didn't notice a man in a trench coat behind them looking nervous, as soon as the clerk opened the cash register the man grabbed Connie and put her into a choke hold and put a gun to her head, Connie screamed in pain as the man tighten his hold on her.
"Alright buddy you know the drill empty the cash into a bag and this kid doesn't have to meet a messy end" said the man with the gun. Steven was glaring at the man that had Connie he tried to think of a way to save his friend but he could come up with nothing, he was once again reminded that he was to weak to protect anyone and he hated himself that his best friend was in danger right in front of him and there was nothing he could do.
"I'M WEAK, I'M SO WEAK!" Steven told himself as he watch Connie crying in the mans arms. "here take the money just put the kid down there's no reason to hurt her" said the clerk as he handed the man the money. Steven felt relief knowing that his friend would be save soon. "not so fast this kid is my insurance to make sure i get out of town with no cops following me, i so much as see cop ill blow his kids brains all out." said the man with a sick grin he looked at Steven who was red in the face with anger that this man was holding his friend captive even after he got what he wanted
"and this kid will be my backup just in case. come on kid out the door and no funny stuff or your little friend here get it under stand." Steven could do nothing a but listen to the crook as they where heading to the door a teenage boy walked in with brown hair black eyes with a band-aid under his right eye, wearing a black jacket in black pants with a backpack on his right solder. The crook frozed as he was spotted and quickly pointed his gun at the teen. you freeze he shouted to the boy. "AHHHH A GUN DON'T SHOOT!" the teen yelled.
the teen had seen that the man with the gun had a child in a choke hold and quickly became serious. "good don't move brat if you do anything this kid could get hurt and you don't want that do you" said the man. "i have to do something to save those kids but i need an opening" the teen thought to himself as he slowly raised his hands. the man smirked seeing that the teen was doing as he was told he took his eyes of the teen and looked to Steven, and the moment that he did he missed the teen moving at a speed that most would not see if they didn't pay close attention.
In one swift movement the teen had disarmed the crook by kicking the hand that had the gun and punched the man in the face which made him drop Connie. "YOU SON OF A BITCH MY NOSE YOUR DEAD KID!" the crook said as he got his bearing but by that time the teen had gotten close to the crook and pointed the ends of both his hands to the mans chest and with a load yell from the boy he punched the man "MYOBUSHI" yelled the teen as his punch had sent the man crashing into the wall and was knocked unconscious.
Wiping the sweat from his brow the teen sighed and said "man that was lucky good thing he took his eyes off me so i could hit him." Steven was amazed at how strong the teen was he wanted to ask him how he became so strong but first he had to see if his friend was OK. "Connie! are you OK are you hurt anywhere?" said Steven worried as he helped his friend up " no i'm fine Steven, my neck hurts a bit from where the man was choking me but i'm fine." said Connie as she rubbed her neck.
the teen walked over to them and asked "are you both OK none of you are hurt are you?" both Steven and Connie looked at the strange teen that had stopped the crook and blasted him into a wall with a punch in just a few seconds. "no we are fine thank you for saving my friend mister, um I've never seen you around here before whats is your name?" The teen blinked and laughed a bit and said "My name is Kenichi Shiraham 1st disciple of Ryōzanpaku and the worlds strongest disciple!"
