Hey everyone! This is a story from an idea I've gotten while watching Steven Universe one day. I do hope you guys enjoy this first chapter of this brand new story!
There was once a young boy who was care free and had the friendliest spirit you'd ever come across. No matter the situation, this boy would always look on the positive side of things. This boy was named Steven Universe. Steven has black eyes, a small brown afro, wears a light red T-shirt with a yellow star on it, blue jeans, and pink sandals. Also, Steven was slightly larger than average kids his age.
One day, Steven was on the beach with his best friend Connie. Connie is an Indian girl around Steven's age who has black eyes, dark brown hair that reached the bottom of her back, and she wears pink glasses with clear lenses, pink boots, and a dress with a white top with the skirt being a light teal. Steven and Connie were discussing the story of a book that each of the kids held a copy of. Steven seemed the most interested in the book than Connie.
"And then Will and Halt meet this other Ranger named Gilan who had been tracking the two in the snow for about two hours now!" Steven said as he explained what happened in the book. "Apparently, Gilan had been Halt's apprentice before Will! I was totally surprised when I found that out!"
"Yes, Steven. I read the book." Connie joked. If you hadn't guess the book I had been referencing, it was The Ranger's Apprentice series. I recommend reading the series. It's really good.
"So, how did you like the ending?" Steven asked with a glint of hope in his eyes.
Connie thought about it for a moment before answering. "I loved it. Though the ending was a little predictable. I mean, there are like 5 more books in the series. How could I not expect a cliffhanger?"
Steven scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, I guess."
Just then, a colorful explosion happened high in the sky above the city. A few seconds after the explosion went off, seven different colored beams shot out in different directions before a large ball of fire came hurling towards the city.
It was at that moment that three women came running out from around the cliff. One was short and had purple skin, with large and long purple-white hair. She had an amethyst embedded in her chest. Another was average height, had white skin, short, slick back blonde hair, and had a pearl embedded in her forehead. The last one was very tall, had light red skin, glasses that hid her eyes and forehead completely, and she had a garnet embedded in each palm of her hands.
"Garnet, where are those things going?" said the one with the pearl, pointing the to lights in the sky.
The red woman put her hands on her temples and tried to think. "I don't know."
The one with the amethyst looked at her with shock. "What do you mean you don't know?"
"I don't know!" Garnet said with an angry tone.
Steven and Connie looked at where the meteorite landed. "Uh, guys! What is that?" He pointed to the crater as a blue creature was slowly climbing out. Once it stood up on its feet, it fell down to its knees. It looked up at the group and reached out a gloved hand before falling unconscious.
"Steven! Stay away from it!" said the one with the pearl. "We don't know what it is. Or what it's doing here, for that matter."
"But Pearl, it's obviously hurt!" Connie said, pointing out the creature's damaged body. "Whatever the reason for it being here, I doubt it can do anything right now."
Garnet relaxed as she walked over to the kids. "Connie is right. We could get some valuable information from it once it comes to."
"What is it?" Pearl asked, concern in her voice.
"I don't know, but they look cool!" Amethyst said, amazement in her tone.
The group got a good look at the creature. It was humanoid, and was just taller than Amethyst. The creature had tan fur on its muzzle, arms, and belly, had quill-like spikes on along its back. It wore white gloves and red shoes with white straps with gold buckles on them. Its body was damaged with cuts and bruises all over.
"Well, whatever it is, we need to get it some medical treatment." Steven said.
"You can't be serious!" Pearl said. "For all we know, it could be something very dangerous!"
"Come on, give it a chance." Steven gestured to the unconscious creature.
"Yeah! Give it a chance!" said Connie, supporting her friend.
The gems looked at the children who were giving pleading expressions. Garnet cracked a small grin. "Alright. We'll do it Steven's way for now."
"YES!" Steven and Connie cheered.
"But the first sign it shows of hostility, it will be destroyed."
Steven and Connie stopped cheering at Garnet's deal. They looked a little disappointed but rather gleeful at the same time. They nodded in agreement.
Later
The creature was bandaged up and was laid down on the couch within the house. The Gems, Steven, and Connie were talking about what to do with the creature. Amethyst was too distracted to talk as she was staring at the blue creature, or more specifically, its shoes. The purple girl walked over to the creature and slowly reached out her hands to grab at the creature's shoes, but was stopped by Pearl.
"What do you think you are doing?" she asked.
Amethyst laughed. "Don't be so uptight, Pearl. I just want to see its shoes."
With that said, Amethyst proceeded slowly towards the creature's shoes. As her fingers were about to touch the shoes, Amethyst's heart started to race. She wasn't prepared for what happened next: the creature shot open its eyes, revealing them to be emerald green, and shot his body towards the girl with incredible speed.
In a very angry tone, and fists clenched, the blue creature spoke. "Don't. Touch. THE SHOES!"
The way the creature said that seemed to scare Amethyst, or the very least, startle her. Amethyst jumped back, an arm held up in a defensive way. As she did so, the creature put a hand to its head as if hurting. The other two Gems summoned their weapons, Pearl wielding a spear and Garnet wielding large gauntlets.
"Amethyst. Get away from that thing." Garnet ordered. The creature looked around and saw the Gems seemed almost scared.
"What? No! Don't!" Steven begged. "Don't hurt it."
"Sorry, Steven. But we agreed that the first sign of hostility we destroy this creature." As the red woman said that, Amethyst pulled out a three headed whip from her gem.
"Wait! What?" The creature definitely seemed worried now. Looking around for a way to escape, it saw the door to the house. As the creature started to make a run for it, Amethyst threw her whip forward to try and grab the creature, and succeeded. He was tangled up and couldn't move, or so she thought. The creature curled into a ball and started to spin in place, pulling the girl forward. As she was close to the creature, it uncurled and kicked Amethyst back into a wall.
Garnet came running up to the creature and punched it straight through the house['s wall and onto the sands of the beach. The creature got up and started to dust itself off.
"Man, you got sand in my quills..." it complained, shaking the quills located on the back of his head with his hands. The creature looked up and noticed Pearl was coming down on him, her spear at the ready. It quickly dodged out of the way and then proceeded to kick Pearl's feet from under her, causing her to fall.
Back inside, Amethyst had gotten up and she and Garnet headed outside. Connie and Steven looked at each other, worried.
"Steven, we got to do something." Connie suggested. Steven nodded in agreement. The two then proceed to run outside.
Meanwhile, the creature had just avoided a powerful punch from Garnet by jumping out of the way. The Gem had hit the ground and the force behind it caused a sandy explosion. A large cloud of sand blocked everyone's vision from each other. The creature had backed itself against the cliff, and the Gems knew that.
The creature saw a short silhouette moving in the cloud and thought it was Amethyst. Putting up his fists, the creature soon found out it was Steven. Seeing movement within the sand, the creature then saw three more silhouettes and saw all the Gems charging it. It then turned its vision to Steven, who was still running towards him and saw that he was in the way of the attack.
"Hey! Look out!" it said to Steven. As the cloud cleared, the Gems saw that they were going to hit Steven, but they couldn't move out of the way. Steven was in a state of shock that he couldn't move.
A moment before Steven was hit, a blue blur came and grabbed the young boy, saving him from the women. When the Gems landed, they looked around for Steven and then noticed that the creature and him were safe behind them, with Steven in the arms of the creature.
Setting the boy down, the creature looked at him with worried eyes. "You alright, kid?"
Steven nodded, to amazed for words. The Gems then seemed extremely worried that the creature would harm him.
"Steven, get away from it!" Pearl demanded, sounding truly terrified.
"But Pearl, he isn't hurting me." Steven said, gesturing to himself and the creature. "See! He's perfectly friendly!" Wanting to prove that the boy was right, the creature waved his hand slightly at the three Gems.
Seeing that Steven was correct, the Gems put their weapons away and got in a more passive stance. The creature sighed and started to walk over to them. "Now that we seem to be in a much better mood," the creature said. "Why don't we start things off correctly. My name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog."
YEAH! First chapter out! Tell my what you guys think about this and tell me if you guys want me to continue. I'll be glad to.
