Hey guys, we're back and…SU IS COMING BACK IN A FEW WEEKS, OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! Scuse me, I need to remember this is set in a specific point (hears Pearl "what we really are") "SHUT UP PEARL!"

Sorry, but in other news. I'm starting up the good ol' SU fic again to start my little Steven binge.

So without further ado,

LET'S GET STARTED

LET'S GET STARTED!

Since I've joined the gems, I feel like I'm in the greatest family ever. For the 1st week of my stay, Steven showed me around Beach City, I got to meet everyone, including a more formal meeting with the Maheswarans. However just yesterday I asked Pearl about what it meant to be a Crystal Gem, and she took me into her room of the Temple, along with Amy and Garnet. "Listen… Joey, the Crystal Gems are the beings protecting this world and its inhabitants from our Homeworld. Now with a Zircon gem in your system, we know you have healing abilities, even resurrection of humans which seem to increase when combined with Steven's. But we don't know is what you can learn for weapons or abilities, so until then you shall learn how to sword-fight alongside Connie" my ears perked up at this, as I always wanted to learn some form of weaponry. Pearl then got Connie from the Living Room and we went to some sort of arena. Upon entry, I could tell that there was some sort of elegance about this place, it seemed to be scattered in ruins in the air.

Pearl then summoned what appeared to be a hologram version of herself while tossing a sword towards me, which I managed to barely catch " I need to see what I'm working with here so I'll set the holo-pearl to level 1 combat, to see what your made of" her hologram then seemed to repeat the phrase " level 1, full combat mode, activate, do you wish to begin a duel" I then smirked and tried to thrust my blade towards the Pearl, but she dodged and came in a with a quick side slash , which I hastily blocked as she went on the offensive , not giving me a moment to think about my attack. I then decided to pull a quick last minute operation. I threw the sword against the holo-pearl, and I could see the connection occur when suddenly, we heard a startling shriek from the Dorito crying "help help, they're after me again" We all looked towards her and she said "monsters" we all ran out of the arena, and huddled around the entrance to the Temple, and what we saw was, honestly not too surprising considering what I saw on the first day

This monster was more of a bi-ped than the others, with 3 large, slanted eyes, forming a make-shift triangle and had a set of 4 large, extended arms, seeming to be used as whips. It stood a little over Garnet, who was currently working with Amethyst to defeat Fourarms. I instantly ran over, trying to get involved in the fight when Pearl stopped me, holding her hand out and catching me in it. "You need to stay and keep an eye out, you don't know how to summon your weapon." She then ran off towards the monster, stabbing its eye. Even Steven and Connie took action, Connie jumping off of Steven's shield to perform a jump slash, making her mark towards the beast's upper left arm. When suddenly, Fourarms… arms shot out, forming a make-shift missile. Each one landed at a Crystal Gem sending them flying, with the exception of Steven and Connie, who used his bubble to shield them both. The monster then looked words me, seeming to be laughing at my predicament. "All right, that's it" I said and walked over towards the monster, it reared its head and charged, newly regenerated arms swinging like blades trying to hack away at me. I then ran and jumped up, easily 10 feet in the air, and sucker punched the monster right in the space between its eyes, I then felt a sudden rush of energy flow through my body, the gem on my eye glowing a brilliant orange hue. Then the monster seemed to recoil, but I was hot on his trail, seeming to be still in mid-air, I quickly gave a fast side hook, and the energy felt like it took a more physical form, judging by the gigantic gash on the monster face, it then poofed into a single, red, oval shaped gem. As it hit the soft sand I looked towards my hand and saw not my palm, but a large battle-axe. It looked a little over 6 inches, the ax blade itself seemed to be made of a sharp stone, and I felt as though it would be able to not just slice through foes, but break them as well. The other gems had recovered and began to walk towards me, all except Peridot who said "What is that object in your hand, does the strange blade shoot out a type of laser?" I then responded, flinging the axe in the air and catching "I think it's my weapon"

MEANWHILE
The Ship was smaller than usual, the recruits in their gem forms, "any moment now" Jade thought to herself , " I'll get him back." The ship landed on a remote forest in what was called "ASIA." She then opened up the pods, and hundreds of gem soldiers appeared, "GO FIND THE REBELS." She then smiled as her army spread itself across the world, sure to cause mayhem and hysteria every way they went "which is fine by me" she thought aloud as she re-entered her gem ship and went off into orbit.

Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry about not uploading recently, I got into some school troubles and had to reassert my priorities. So with that being said, may the light of malor flow through you.
