DISCLAIMER: I don't own Steven Universe nor SuperNoobs.
Connie sat comfortably on the sofa watching the action happening around her. So far from her perspective seems that these people/aliens have powers and abilities that are on par with the Gems? Meaning that as of this moment, the battle is at a stalemate. Connie was tempted to jump back into the battle when the mini-microwave next to the sofa pinged, notifying her that the popcorn is done. Even though Gems don't need to eat, Amethyst convinced both Peridot and Lapis that the TV experience is much better with snacks. Having complete confidence that Steven and the Gems can handle themselves, and not wanting freshly popped popcorn go to waste, Connie paused for a snack break and continued observing their new opponents.
Shope vs Lapis
Shope and Lapis were still fighting for control over the water. "I don't know how you're able to do this, but you cannot win! For I once controlled the entire oceans!" Lapis declared as she manipulated the water from the farm's irrigation system. Giving her more water to attack Shope with.
"Gasp, you're the one who caused the beach to disappear!" Shope recalling that one day she and her friends went to the beach only to find the water gone. At first they thought it was caused by the virus but could never find the cause; and since the water came back they let the matter drop. "Now I know I've got to stop you!" Shope started summoning more water from the irrigation system herself. At this point Shope found herself struggling. While she has gotten better at controlling the elements, she found it difficult controlling it on such a large scale. "Oh man what can I do?" Shope asked herself. That's when the image of the Elder Secretary Headees flashed across her mind, reminding her of the lesson the Elders gave the Noobs when they went to Knights of the Round Table restaurant and show for their inspection.
"You can let go!" Lapis suggested.
"Okay," Shope smiled releasing her hold on the water causing it to splash in Lapis's face.
"You're giving up?" Lapis spat wiping the water from her face.
"No but as someone once told my 'never fight fire with fire'. Admittedly we're fighting with water not fire, but it's the same principle." Shope getting off tangent again. "When I can use ICE!" Getting back on subject, Shope used her ice manipulation to freeze the water around Lapis.
"No, No, No, No, NOOOOO!" Lapis froze in more ways than one. Seeing the ice freezing her body reminded her of her centuries trapped in the mirror. Unable to move or talk except by replaying what she had recorded of other people saying. The trauma of that memory sent her into a state of panic, unable to focus or use her water powers to fight back. Making it real easy for Shope to completely freeze her in a block of ice.
"Phew I can't believe that worked. I mean I totally knew that would work." Shope patting herself on the back.
Victor: Shope
The Roach vs Garnet
The Roach and Garnet were still having their slug fest, matching each other blow for blow. "This could take forever," Garnet huffed throwing another punch only for the Roach to block it with a punch of his own. "We need to speed things up."
"Speed things up?" Roach repeated. "Okay. Rocket Boots Activate!" The Roach pressed his battle ball on his chest, activating his rocket boots. Only to remember that he can't control his rocket powers, sending him flying wildly out of control.
Garnet remained calm, using Sapphire's future vision she predicted five possible directions the Roach will fly. Now it falls to Ruby's combat instincts to guess which one it will be. The right choice will allow them victory against the small human and possibly the other intruders as well. The wrong choice will result in the Roach striking her with such force that it will forcibly splitting them apart; leaving not only Ruby and Sapphire but all the Crystal Gems vulnerable. 'I believe in you,' the Sapphire half of Garnet's persona whispered her other half Ruby. Garnet smiled as made a hard straight punch to the right. Resulting with, as they both had hoped, the Roach flying right into her fist, hitting him square in the face and slamming the little boy to the ground!
"You win," the Roach groaned in pain before collapsing.
Victor: Garnet
Kevin vs Amethyst
Kevin was rather shocked to see that Amethyst's wrestler form is a match for his gorilla form. "Alrighty you, let's see if you can handle a rhino stampede!" Kevin shouted as pressed his battle ball transforming into charging a rhino.
"Oh yeah, I'll see your one horn and raise you two!" Amethyst laughed. Being that shape shifting is one of her favorite abilities, she's always wanted to have a transformation duel and fully intends to enjoy this one. Transforming into a purple bull Amethyst ran full speed at the rhino. The two crashed into each other with such intense force that they were both knocked back and forcibly turned back into their original forms.
"Okay that didn't work," Kevin groaned rubbing his head.
"Then how about I go a little bigger," Amethyst challenged transforming into an elephant.
"Hey no fair! I wanted to go elephant!" Kevin complained.
"You snooze you lose pal," Amethyst elephant mocked.
"If you're going to go with the largest land animal, then I'll go the largest sea animal! Go giant sperm whale!" Kevin pressed his battle transforming into..."A mouse? Oh come on!" Kevin mouse cursed. He'd thought he'd fix these transformation glitches.
"AAAHHHH! A MOUSE!" Amethyst elephant screamed in terror. Much to Kevin's surprise.
"You're scared of mouses?" Kevin mouse wondered.
"Technically it's mice and aren't all elephants scared of mice? Isn't that why you changed into that form?" Amethyst elephant wondered. Truthfully mice don't really bother her but in every cartoon she watched with Steven and Greg, the elephants are always terrified of the small rodents for some reason. So she's just acting in character so to speak.
"Uh yeah that's exactly why," Kevin mouse lied.
"Well then, on to the next round." Amethyst then transformed into a cat and started chasing Kevin mouse. Kevin retaliated by transforming into a dog. Followed by Amethyst turning into a wolf. Kevin becoming a lion. Amethyst into a bear.
"Alright playtime is over," Kevin huffed.
"Ready to give up," Amethyst breathing hard as well. She's never had to transform into so many creatures in a fight before. It was fun but exhausting.
"No way. I'd say it's time to take it to the next level with Gorilroo!" Kevin pressing his battle ball again becoming a half gorilla half kangaroo creature.
"What the~ Cross-forms? Why didn't anyone ever tell me we can do that?" Amethyst pouted, thinking of all the pranks she could have pulled with that trick. "Well then when in Rome." Amethyst, focusing her remaining stamina, transformed into a giraffe with an armadillo shell and rhino's head. "Let's see you beat this?" Amethyst challenged but clearly sweating since she's reaching the end of her rope.
"If you think that's going to scare me..." Kevin putting up a false bravado. "Oh no," he gulped when he noticed that Amethyst just made the same mistake he did back when he first started experimenting with cross-transformation. Namely that Amethyst's mix and match is completely unbalanced and top heavy thanks to the rhino head. Add the fact that she's tired and can't really control her new form is not a good sign. Amethyst quickly loses her balance and started falling over like an old tree, heading straight for Kevin! Kevin tried to get away but it was too late as Amethyst's rhino head came crashing down right on top of him, forcing the two of them to revert back to normal. "Okay well call this one a draw," Kevin said with his last ounce of defiance before fainting.
"Spoken like a true loser," Amethyst boasted before passing out herself.
Victor: Draw
Memnock vs Pearl
Mem and Pearl were still engaged in their dual. The only thing is with Pearl using her ballet style fencing and Mem going what looks like groove style combat; the two looked more they were dancing rather than fighting. Never the less, despite how graceful and choreographed it looked, it's still a serious fight. Mem attacks were a bit more aggressive. With him trying to use his size and strength to overpower the rather thin Gem. Pearl on the other hand, was using her speed and agility to avoid Mem's attacks.
While the two were evenly matched at first, Mem was overexerting himself with unnecessary movements in his attacks. Where as Pearl was careful not to waste her energy. Resting her spear on her shoulder to reduce arm fatigue. Waiting for the right time to strike. Pretty soon Mem started to waver before dropping to one knee. With Pearl pointing her spear at Mem's neck. "I yield," Mem huffed. Pearl smiled accepting his surrender.
Victor: Pearl
Zenblock vs Peridot
"Ha ha, you can't hit me." Peridot sang as she skipped around Zen. Since Zen made it clear that he won't hit anyone with glasses, Peridot is taking full advantage of this. Mocking and teasing him, and even dangling her glasses in front of his face only to quickly putting it back on her face when Zen tried to grab it. This is the first time she's ever gotten the upper hand against someone or something bigger than her so she really wanted to enjoy it.
"Enjoy it while can to little pipsqueak," Zen mumbled increasingly getting annoyed by the little Gem's attack on his pride. Zen didn't have to wait long for his revenge as Peridot, getting a little too cocky with herself, tripped on a rock and her glasses fell off her head.
"My glasses! Where?" Peridot desperately searching for the only thing protecting her from Zen's wrath. Fortunately she found it just a few feet away. Peridot scrambled, or rather crawled as fast as she could to retrieve them only to have Zen blocking her path.
"Oh look, someone is not wearing their glasses anymore," Zen chuckled.
"I don't suppose you're going to be a gentleman and give them back?" Peridot gulped.
"Of course," Zen assured her. "But first. BLASTER SUIT MODE!" Zen pressing his battle ball activating around twenty or so blasters pointing right at Peridot.
"AAAHHHH!" Peridot screamed in terror. Running as fast as she could straight to the barn.
"Man I really need to choose my opponents more carefully," Zen sighed sadly. He was really hoping for a big epic fight.
Victor: Zenblock
Over at the barn, Connie was scarfing down her popcorn. The battle was getting intense. So far she counted 2 wins, 2 loses, and one draw. So it came down to Steven's fight against the blue hair warrior. The only problem is that it looked like that round is already over with Steven sleeping and the blue hair one standing over him. Of course Connie knows that Steven have some amazing mind powers, that he only seem to work when he's sleeping. The strange thing is that the blue hair warrior had one hand pointing at Steven and the other hand had two fingers touching his head. If Connie had to guess, they must be engaged in a psychic showdown. "Man I wish I could see what's going on in there," Connie sighed munching a handful of popcorn barely able to contain her excitement.
Tyler vs Steven
In the mindscape Tyler and Steven astral forms were having a slap fest. "Give up, you're no match for me and my many mental powers!" Tyler bluffed still slapping Steven.
"Why are you doing this? I thought you are superheroes." Steven asked slapping back.
"We are. Mem and Zen gave us our powers to protect the Earth from an alien invasion and that's what we're going to do." Tyler preached.
"Oh really, what kind of powers do you have?" Steven asked curiously. Completely forgetting that they are in the middle of a fight.
"Well I can teleport, read minds, and do other things," Tyler mumbled. Even after all this time Tyler still doesn't know the extent of his powers.
"Cool, can you read my mind?" Steven asked with interest. He just loves seeing things like this.
"Uh you do realize that we are fighting here right now," Tyler pointed out.
"Aw come on, just this once." Steven begged with huge puppy dog eyes.
"Fine just once," Tyler conceded. He can never resist cute puppy dog eyes.
"Okay then what's my name? No, what's my father's name? No, what's my favorite food? I got it, what number am I thinking about?" Steven couldn't decide.
"Your name is Steven, your dad's Greg, your favorite food is a toss up between hot dogs and fry bits (what ever those are) and you're not thinking of a number but a waffle that cries milk." Tyler answered. "You seriously like that show?"
Steven's jaw dropped in amazement. He got it all right, including him thinking about the Crying Breakfast Friends. Truthfully Steven tried to focus on a number but he couldn't help but wonder what was happening on his show since he and Connie had to leave before it was over. Not that he minded too much since it was to protect his friends from a monster. Which led to this fight against the blue hair boy and his friends. The thing is though, from what Steven has gathered, the only reason they are fighting is because the two giant lizard guys know about the Homeworld Gems and feared that they are planning to colonize Earth. If there was some way Steven can get them to understand that the Crystal Gems are not like Homeworld Gems, that would resolve this conflict immediately. Just then Steven had an idea of how to do that. "Okay what am I thinking now?" Steven asked concentrating really hard so that send the message loud and clear.
"Ugh," Tyler groaned wanting to get this fight over with. "You're thinking about how the Crystal Gems are not invaders. They actually rebelled against their home world to save the Earth thousands of years ago and that you yourself is half Gem." Tyler read. Tyler jerked realizing that this might all be a huge misunderstanding. Steven smiled as he opened his mind a little more so that Tyler can understand him and the Gems better. Likewise Tyler shared some of his memories with Steven, so that the young Gem hybrid can know what the Noobs are all about. After that mind-melding experience, the two returned to their bodies. "Hi my name is Tyler," Tyler introducing himself. Even though he didn't really need to since they shared memories and already knew each other's name, it just felt better to say it out loud.
"I'm Steven," Steven replied shaking Tyler's hand.
Victor: Friendship
Tyler and Steven's moment was interrupted by an explosion in the background reminding them that their friends are still locked in mortal combat! They both turned to see some of their friends down for the count with Garnet and Pearl getting ready to face off against Zen and Shope. "What do we do?" Steven asked.
"What we can," Tyler said placing his hand on Steven's shoulder. Tyler teleported them right in between the two opposing sides. "STOOOOP!" Tyler and Steven yelled just as their friends begun to attack!
"STEVEN!" "TYLER!" Garnet, Pearl, Shope, and Zen yelled at the same time. Stopping their attacks just in time before they could hurt their friends.
"Look I know this looks weird but I don't think we need to fight," Tyler tried to explain to his friends.
"I explained everything to them," Steven informing what's left of the Gems.
"So we're good then," Garnet deactivating her gauntlets.
"Wait that's it?" Pearl objected. Not really sure if they she can just trust these guys.
"If Steven says we're good then we're good." Garnet preached. Pearl wanted to point out the flaws in that logic, but she could never bring herself to speak out against Garnet or Steven's instincts. So she just decided to shut up and see how this goes.
"Just what the heck do you think you are doing?" Zen demanded. Furious that Tyler had again put himself in harms way to save a potential enemy.
"Look I know this sounds crazy but I think these Gems are our allies," Tyler justified.
"Are you mad? Gems are notorious for destroying planets." Zen reiterated.
"But these are different Gems," Tyler insisted.
"If Tyler says we should give them a chance, I'd say we give them that." Shope standing up for her friend. "I mean he was right about the giant hulking robot beast," she reminded them. They all recalled how they were 'attacked' by what they thought was virus beast, but it turned out to be a robotic suit piloted by alien refugees, and how Tyler was the only one willing to look past the monstrous form to befriend them.
"Fine we'll talk, for now." Zen conceded.
"Aw, is the fight over?" Connie asked finally joining in after she ran out of popcorn.
Connie wasn't the only one watching the battle from a safe distance. Far on the other side of barn, Count Venamus carefully observed under his cloak of invisibility. He came here to enact his new plan to destroy the SuperNoobs but found something unexpected as well. "Gems? Here? I've got to warn the Creators." Venamus immediately teleported back to his ship and flew into space.
