Steven The Corrupted Gem

My story is taking place after the events of Sworn to the Sword. I am going to continue on after Connie and Steven both know how to sword fight efficiently.

Chapter 1

"So, Connie are you ready for our first mission together?" said Steven with a smile. Connie blushed. "Of course I am!" she exclaimed. Steven and Connie were joining the gems on their mission to capture Peridot. Pearl finally found a way to track her, and she is sure the they are going to capture her. "Okay, are you ready? Peridot has just beamed by the Galaxy Warp. We need to go get her," said Pearl. Everyone was lined up on the warp pad. "Warp us up Steve-man!" exclaimed Amethyst. Off they went, warping towards Peridot. Steven was concerned for Connie's safety, but he knew that they will fight together, to protect her. He has to. Or he will never forgive himself. The group made it to the Galaxy Warp, where they found Peridot examining the warp pads. "How am I going to get all of this junk fixed?" she asked herself out loud. "Get her!" yelled Garnet. The group charged at Peridot, weapons at hand. Garnet with her gauntlets, Amethyst with her whip, Pearl with her staff, Steven with his shield, and Connie with Rose's sword. Peridot saw them coming, especially Steven. He was in the front, protecting the group from her attacks. Peridot's robotic fingers started to change position, into a needle like shape. As Steven was running, his gem was showing. His short was flowing back as he ran. As Steven got closer to Peridot, she got prepared. When he was close enough, she injected the needle into Steven's gem. He didn't feel a thing. He kept on moving. After Peridot did her small plan, she started to flyaway like a helicopter away from the group. Connie stared at Steven. "What was that for?" she thought to herself. "What did she do to Steven?" Connie was getting concerned, and demanded to head back home. As soon as they warped back, Connie dragged Pearl to the side. "Pearl, I think something happened to Steven while he was close to Peridot. I saw something in her hand! It looked like a needle!" As Pearl listened, her face grew paler. "Steven," Pearl said with a shaky voice. "Could you come over here please?" Steven stumbled on over towards Pearl and Connie. "Steven, lift up your shirt for me please," said Pearl shakily. "Whaaatttt?!" yelled Steven. "Just do it!" yelled Connie. He looked at her, and nodded. He picked up his shirt, so that his gem was visible. "Uhhhhh, Garnet, Amethyst, could you come over here please?" asked Pearl. When they reach Pearl they took a look at Steven. Their faces where in shock. "Oh no," said Amethyst,"Steven's gem is corrupted!"
