Steven Universe – The Lost Fusion
A Steven Universe Fanfiction created by "Kulisjac"
Before we begin – I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jacob, an incoming freshman in High School. My old childhood friend, Ari, had mentioned Steven Universe on many, many occasions. I was one who thought "oh, it's just a bad cartoon airing on the land of bad cartoons". About 2-3 months later, a person whom I was following someone on DeviantART (I am not an artist, sadly. I don't have good equipment) who is mainly known for his Pokemon and "Tokusatsu" drawings and fanfictions. In my messages, I saw things regarding positive comments about Steven Universe in one of his journal posts and decided "Hey, I should really watch this show". I went in and binge watched it for about 2 days and I really took interest in it.
The following stories take place after Episode 67 "Friend Ship", where Peridot has attempted to lure the Crystal Gems into what appeared to be the innocent ruins of an old spaceship, which turns out to be a trap. Basically, if you don't like spoilers and the names "Jasper, Peridot, Ruby, Sapphire, and Garnet don't sound familiar, you've got a bit of catching up to do. Watch at least episodes 40-67 to get the basics of it.
But without further ado, let's get started with my Steven Universe fanfic.
DISCLAIMER: The following events are written based on all Steven Universe episodes up to 67. Any new gems added past episode 67 relating to these ones are a mere coincidence. THIS IS NOT CANON.
Chapter 1 – Stevonnie's Edge
"Yawn…"
Steven appears to have just woken up. The alarm clock reads 7:41am, the sun is shining its brightest, and the room is quieter than a mouse. Or so it seemed.
Steven turns to his left side and sees a mane of light pink surrounding a vibrant pink beast's head,
"GAH!" Steven jolts up out of his bed. "Oh, Lion. It's just you. Thank gosh."
Steven accepts the challenge of surviving yet another day as a gem-human hybrid by pulling his upper body forward…
"AHH!" Steven, wasting his energy of trying to get up, falls back into his bed. He barely realizes the safety of the magenta, square-haired gem that knelt in front of him. "Oh, it's just you Garnet. Don't scare me like that".
"Sorry, Steven." Garnet apologizes. "But this is urgent. There's been an attack in the desert again, and Pearl and Amethyst are currently trying to contain the conflict. Even as Opal, those two are struggling to fight a crossbow-armed warrior. We think he might be working for Homeworld, but we're not sure. They don't seem to be telling their intentions. Can you help us?"
"Do I have to?" Steven whined. "Connie was supposed to be coming over 'when I get up'. We were goi-"
"Stevonnie can fuse and join us. Call her" orders Garnet.
Why is Garnet so eager for Stevonnie to fight? Steven asks himself. He lifts his body upwards from the pillow and mattress and grabs his blue phone off of his nightstand and unplugs the green charger. He swipes to unlock his phone and opens up the calling app. He proceeds to call Connie's cell phone".
The cheeky, cute ringtone Connie had set up on her cell phone to ring only when Steven calls activates, playing Steven singing "We Are the Crystal Gems" while playing his ukulele. Connie grabs the phone off her bedside table and answers the call?
"Steven?"
"Morning, Connie." Steven sings to the phone, hoping Connie is listening. "Hey, we're gonna have to cancel the plan at the arcade today. The gems and I need to go on a mission. Garnet was wondering, to make up for missing the arcade, if you wanted to fuse and join us?"
"DO I?!" Connie screams. "I can't believe you and the gems are asking me to come along on a mission, especially being the human I am. I didn't think that I was capable of combat. But you guys just gave me confidence. Yeah I come! I'll be there in a minute."
Connie hangs up Steven and jumps out of bed. By the time that slow, tired Steven gets to the bottom of the stairs, Connie barges in through the door without knocking, knocking the both of them to the ground, Steven on top of Connie.
"STEVEN! You okay?"
"Yeah, but next time please knock on the door before knocking me down."
The two of them press their foreheads together, nearly removing all space between Connie and Steven as their laughs fill in the empty air between the two. A white glowing light shines around Steven and Connie as it engulfs itself around the two children as they become Stevonnie. Stevonnie, a tall woman bearing curly, long hair extending down to her knees, a light blue tank top covering her starred red shirt going up to her lower chest, exposing her pink gem in the center of her belly, and short jean shorts. Garnet, a double-gem fusion slightly taller than Stevonnie bearing pointed silver sunglasses, has a bright grin spreading from ear to ear (or side-of-afro to side-of-afro). Stevonnie has seen this face almost all of the time.
"Uhh... Garnet?" Stevonnie begins
"Yes, Stevonnie?" Garnet asks, still grinning.
"Are you okay? You always get this face when we fuse together."
"What face?"
"… Nevermind."
The group of gem fusion go towards the glamorous tele-pad with a grand-maned lion following them. The three characters become surrounded in a very light blue cylinder of light emerging from the ground upwards, teleporting them to the desert. There, they are greeted to a fallen Opal.
"OPAL!" Garnet and Stevonnie shout. Stevonnie makes a dash towards the fused gem, seeing her Pearl-shaped gem on her head and her Amethyst-shaped gem on her upper torso with minor cracks on the two gems. Stevonnie kneels next to Opal, healing power-infused saliva in the palms of the hybrid fusion, and gently slaps her hands onto the tall, periwinkle gem's gems. The gems glow under her hands as the cracks are filled, therefore reviving the gem from her coma. She slowly wakes up.
All of a sudden, a dark, cloaked gem appears above the bright healer fusion with a black crossbow pointed at their head. Stevonnie looks up to see the head of a loaded arrow pointed right between the eyes, about 4 inches away from the nose of the face to the tip of the arrowhead.
"Who are you, and what's your purpose?" Asks the cloaked man.
"I'm Stevonnie," she starts, "and… and…" she turns to Garnet. "What are we doing here, Garnet?"
"We heard that the earth was being attacked by Homeworld." She tells the two. "Now that we told you, what's your purpose here?"
"To stop you from meddling with Master Peridot's plans."
"Peridot has her own warriors?!" The "Steven" in Stevonnie asks. "I need to get some of those."
"You must be the Crystal Gems, I presume. Working with former General Rose Quartz. Where is Quartz?"
"None of your concern." Garnet rudely tells the warrior, summoning her gauntlets and punching the crossbow bearer. The cloaked warrior blocks each punch, proving to be a nearly equal match to Garnet.
"Steven, I have an idea" Connie tells Steven as a part of Stevonnie.
"What is it, Connie?" Stevonnie asks herself.
"Where is your mom's sword"
"In Lion's head."
"Summon it." Stevonnie demands herself, "We can use it to fight this gem.
"Sounds good, Connie." Stevonnie stands to her feet and whistles, calling over Lion. Stevonnie reaches into Lion's mane, shuffling around to find Rose Quartz's sword. Once she grips onto it using her right hand, her pink shield materializes onto her left hand and wrist. She then stands, turns toward the cloaked gem, and charges at the gem. When she is close, she lifts up her sword…
