Aksis had fallen, SIVA was no more, the Speaker would reward them for their courage. All was well for Fireteam Egypt, but then,

"Guardians!" My Ghost called as he transmated into view, "I am detecting massive amounts of Tachyon and quantum particles in the surrounding SIVA nodes! Destroy them now!" The entire Fireteam sprang into action, Blasting at every node in site. But the sheer amount of nodes was too much, there was no way to destroy each one in time. The build up was complete, and from the nodes that were left, the Guardians heard the distorted voice of Aksis, "SIVA will…. Always prevail…" And with that, the guardians were blasted with Tachyon waves of energy, seemingly erased from history, as even Rasputin, who had come to respect this noble team, with his array of Golden age Tech, could not find a trace of these Legendary heroes.

- SU U-

Steven woke with a start, the bad dream of Yellow Diamond crushing his Gem frien- no, Gem family was always terrifying, but this time it was… more vivid? He couldn't tell, but it always scared him, when he first started to have them, he actually cried until Amethyst came out of the temple door to grab food, and had to comfort him until the other gems came out, and they shared a long hug. Pearl eventually set up a baby monitor, so that if he was having nightmares, they would know.

Steven soon found it, thanks to Lion, and effectively destroyed it. He assured Pearl he was fine, and he didn't need to be babied. Pearl agreed to let him be, bet he knew she was keeping a closer eye on him.

Shaking his head, he mentally berated himself, telling himself to stop reminiscing about bad things, he turned in his bed, the sun was up, but he wasn't supposed to be up before 7, so he checked his phone, finding it to be 8:35AM. He got out of bed, deciding it was time to get moving, he started by getting dressed, his iconic red shirt with the golden star, blue jeans, and his favorite flip flops. After he was dressed, he made his way down to the kitchen to get breakfast, only to find Amethyst eating the entire contents of the fridge, shelves included. Steven shuddered to think what her inhuman digestive system was capable of digesting…

"AMETHYST!" He whined, "What about my breakfast?" Steven looked at Amethyst with a look of irritation. Amethyst looked back at him, and promptly swallowed the mass amount of food stored in her cheeks.

"Sorry dude… maybe ask Garnet for some dough, so you can go to the Big Donut?" She apologized. Steven just sighed, and proceeded to knock on the Temple door, to which Pearl opened it for him,

"Hello Steven, can i help you?" She asked sweetly,

"Nah, but can you get Garnet? Amethyst ate all the food… again."

Pearl just sighed, "of course she did…" Pearl was really at the end of her rope with the lavender gem, she really was a handful, even more than Lion, who was basically a wild animal. But, with so few gems, she had to put up with Amethyst's behavior.

"You know Steven, sometimes i wonder between you and her," She leaned close to him, "which of you needs to eat more!" This got giggles from the little half breed, only to stop when said purple gem gave them both a glare, "yeah, yeah, very funny." she muttered, only to be pulled into a hug by little Steven "Oh come on Amethyst, it's only a joke."

Pearl sighed at Steven, he never liked fighting, especially among his family…

Suddenly the door to the crystal temple opened, revealing Garnet, who immediately called out to the gems, "Gems, we have a situation. I have been using my future vision, and i have discovered something worrying." Steven looked up to her, "What is it?"

"I do not know, but i forsee a lot of destruction and violence is coming to Beach City soon. We need to be prepared for attack."

Garnet's usually stoic mannerisms put the entire team on edge, their leader, the one who could gaze into the future, couldn't see the incoming threat. Garnet turned to Steven, "Steven, could you go to the barn and tell the other three about this?"

Steven nodded and walked over to the warp pad. He threw his arms to the side, activating the warp pad, his mind directing where the technology would take him, to the barn.

Steven finally arrived at the barn, and observed that it had changed yet again, its wood appeared to have glowing veins running along the walls. The Silo had been removed from the wall, but was connected to it through a metal catwalk, the remains of a pickup truck. The roof had multiple new metal additions to it, much like weathervanes. Steven walked up to the barn door, knocked on it three times, and waited. He then heard barking and turned around to find Peridot with the pumpkin dog, Seeds, both happy to see him

"Steven!" she cried as they ran towards him, Steven held his arms out in response, embracing both in a hug.

"Peri! Seeds! Good to see you again! Where are the others?" He asked.

Peridot shrugged, "last I saw Lapis, she was in the Silo, and Jasper…. Well she got poofed."

Steven gasped, "Oh no!, What happened to her? Was it… Homeworld?" Peri shook her head,

"No, it was falling, there was a piece of debris, on top of the Silo, Lapis offered to get it, but jasper insisted, i think she was trying to prove herself, you know, after you healed her and all…" Steven just sighed, it had been three months since he had used his healing powers to fix jasper's corruption…. Mostly, she still had patches of turquoise corruption, her build looked a lot like a werewolf, and she still had a mouth like an animal, and horns. She was recovering greatly, but still held a grudge for Garnet, so she usually stayed away from the rest of the gems, as did the rest of the barn-gems,

They liked Steven, but they still held grudges towards the Crystal Gems, Peridot was the exception, as she was on good terms with all the gems, especially Amethyst.

"Soo…." Steven said, "any guess when she will be back?" Peri shrugged again, "nope, it was actually a week ago when she poofed, so it could be right now, or tomorrow. We don't know…"

Steven sighed, "oh well, i've still got news for you and Lapis, though. Think you could get her?" he asked. Peri nodded, and ran into the barn, presumably to get the blue water gem. Steven turned to Seeds, who was rolling around in the dirt. He leaned down to pet the strange dog.

- Two hours later -

Steven had informed the Barn gems on what Garnet had asked him to tell them about, and they assured him they would tell Jasper about what he had said.

With that out of the way, he bid them farewell, and used the warp pad to return to his home.

After that, he asked Garnet for money so he could go and eat. He was currently eating a glazed doughnut, courtesy of The Big Doughnut. As he munched on his sweet treat, he began to wonder, what could this threat be? It clearly disturbed the future gazer that is Garnet. But what could put her on edge?

Steven decided to put this thought away, and decided to text Connie, to see if she could hang out.

Hey Connie

Hey Steven. Whats up?

Just wondering if you wanted to hang out today…

Sure, just give me a bit, see you at 12?

Sure, Cya then

With that out of the way, Steven decided to head back to the house. When he got there, he saw Pearl trying to get Amethyst to clean out her room. Garnet was nowhere to be seen.

Deciding to ignore them, he headed up to his room, and plopped down to play his video games untill Connie arrived in two hours.

When Connie arrived,Garnet had come back, with a bunch of food, and a basket. She grabbed a blanket from the closet, and gave them to Steven.

"Have fun, you two." Garnet said.

"We will!" Steven called from the stairs as the two went to find lion, as he would be their ride.

Garnet chuckled at his enthusiasm.

After finding Lion, and convincing him to take them on a picnic, with a lion licker, of course, they set off for their picnic destination, the Grand Canyon. The sight of the vast opening in the ground was awe-inspiring, and the two decided to settle down for lunch.

Connie placed the blanket down, and Steven grabbed the picnic basket out of Lion's mane. They sat down to eat, leaning against Lion's broad, pink stomach, as he lay, curled around the blanket. They sat together, peacefully eating the sandwiches, a hotdog each, and a slab of ham for Lion.

"S-Steven?" Connie asked, while shifting against Lion. Steven looked at her, confused, Why if she shifting? Is she ok? He turned his body to face her

"Yes?" He asked. She looked at him for a second, before composing herself, " there something ive been meaning to tell you…." Thoughts ran through Steven's head, Wait, does this mean that she loves me? Is that what she's going to say?

"Steven, i… I just have to tell y-you. I Lo-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" She yelled and pointed towards a large floating orb. It was pulsing with energy and sparking occasionally. The trio of Steven, Connie, and Lion approached the orb, which was growing at an alarming rate. Suddenly, the orb exploded outwards, and complex patterns shooting outwards and revealing 20 beings. When Steven reopened his eyes, he saw the impossible, 20 large human looking robots, with long, thin arms and legs, a fan like head, and weird looking things on their stomachs, reminding Steven of Gems, actually. But there were other designs, a few had long, pointed horns, and tails, but there was one, that was very large, with bulky arms and legs, which would probably be taller than Garnet. They were terrifying, and Steven backed up, his arm slowly reaching towards his belly, and his gem, ready to draw his shield, Connie pulled out her phone and subtly texted Mr. Universe to send the gems to the grand canyon, and Lion dropped into a crouching position, and began snarling, he was prepared to protect his master.

The big robot turned to face them, it's massive, red eye staring coldly into their souls. The Kids could hear a whirring as the machines began to prime their weapons.

"Organics detected. Exterminate!" The machines raised their weapons, prepared to kill the two children.

"TAKE COVER!" The children heard the voice, a crisp and commanding tone clearly conveyed. The children obeyed, they hopped onto Lion, and he jumped away, just as a fiery ball landed right next to one of the masses of robots.

"GRENADE!" the massive robot exclaimed, and then the grenade exploded, taking out a large amount of the robots.

The Children turned around to see their savior, a large ship of green and blue could be seen close by, but what was most interesting was the pilot.

He was tall, with a helm that reminded the children or a demon, with large horns, his shoulders had Wolves with flames in their maws, his arms had many plates of steel that seemed to expand and retract in a sort of dance. His chest was quite odd, i had grenades and bullets adorning it, his legs were bulky, with small spikes coming out of the ankles. He also had a piece of cloth dangling off his belt, and a cloak with a red raven loosely draped over his back.

A flash of energy traveled along his back, and a sword began for form, he grasped it's handle, and pulled it off his back, it's blade adorned with ornate patterns.

"Well, Well, Well… if it isn't the Vex. i knew you were twisted, but attacking children? Even for you, that's dark." The man readied his sword, "Well? You going to kill me? Or are we just going to stand here all day?" The large vex turned towards him, his right side slightly melted and quite burned, "you will pay for the destruction of my unit." he told the man. The man chuckled, "we will see." He turned his head to Steven and Connie, "you kids might want to step back" Brandishing his sword, he approached the vex monster. "What are you going to do?" Steven asked.

The man replied, "My job, kid. My job"

-A/N-

Well that was a chapter, and only the first, of many. Now let me clarify what armor the titan is wearing, for his helm, i chose the the days of Iron helm, and his arms are a hybrid of the DOI gauntlets with the ornament, and the Feed Back Fence. His chest is the amormantium, and his legs… well i don't really know, but just think of any legendary legs and you'll be fine. He also had a hunter cloak, and i know that you guys will ask my why, and i will explain why in a future chapter. Anyway, have a great day, Endario out-
