Steven walked onto the grass of the shadowy field, the sight of all the shadows basically poisoning the grass was scary in itself. With a shook of his head, Steven walked more on the field, a few of the shadows growling at him, they knew it was their master's so called brother. "Caz! Come on out! I'm not here to fight!" Steven called out, looking around and then he glanced at the middle of the field, the shadows swirled until Caz appeared with a scowl on his face. "You!" Caz was going to charge at Steven, but something stopped him, he watched as Steven made his weapons phased away and he stood in front of Caz now, a calm look on his face. "Listen please, Caz. I know in your heart you absolutely hate me, but listen, I had no part in giving you away, I wasn't even born yet. Our mom did it so that you'd be safe, so that others would be safe, she didn't hate you. she did it out of love." Steven finished speaking, and he looked at Caz's shocked expression, he was starting to think that over now. However, Caz growled and his hands started to turn black with the shadows. "She...still...could of...TOLD ME!" Caz roared out and just before the shadows had plunged towards Steven, Garnet rushed up and grabbed Steven out of the way, and he stood with all of the other gems. "Caz!" Garnet called out, letting her gauntlets appear. Caz panted, roaring with pure power shortly after, the gems pulled out their weapons, except for Lapis since her weapon was water, with a soft sigh, Steven did the same. There was a part of him that didn't want to fight Caz, even though that they've been apart for such a long time, they were brothers. The other part of him was telling him to fight Caz, he was threatening to crush each one of the gems.
"I WILL MAKE YOU ALL PAY!" Caz shouted out at the top of his lungs, the shadows swirling around him until they started to form a large beast that had horns, sharp claws and long limbs, this shadowy beast form towered over all of the other gems, its eyes completely a dark blood red. Caz let out a manical laugh, his voice was distorted with this new form. "Hahahaha! What do you think gems?! Think you'll survive now?!" Caz had the audicity to taunt everyone of the gems. Garnet leapt up into the air, managing to land one hard punch on Caz's beastily face, but then he grinned. He rose one of his hands up, summoning more shadows and they wrapped around Garnet. "You STAY OUT OF THIS!" Caz flicked his hand in a direction, and the shadows flung Garnet into a direction, actually she was thrown all the way back to the temple and she landed against the rocky surface with a loud groan of pain. "Garnet! Caz what happened to you?! We were all friends!" Pearl was next, she ran up one of Caz's large, darken, and strong arms, slashing a few times. Caz roared out, grabbing Pearl with both of his large and clawed hands, keeping her trapped. "Your mentor! My mother! I will admit that we were friends, all of us, but Rose did this to me!" He clenched his hands, almost crushing Pearl while she yelped out in pain until she went unconscious. Caz grinned a sharp toothed grin, and he dropped Pearl down onto the ground as if she was trash. Amethyst rushed in and wrapped her whip around Pearl, pulling her back. "Pearl!" Steven kneeled down and he hugged her, starting to slowly heal Pearl. "Mh...what?" Pearl woke up after a minue, and she glanced up, seeing Steven, Amethyst, Lapis, and Peridot. "Caz please!" Steven called out, tears running down his cheeks as he looked up at Caz and in this beastly form of his. Caz growled out softly, looking down at the other gems. There was something familiar about Steven, not only that he was his brother, but the way Steven cried, it brought back some memories.
-When Steven Was Younger-
Tears ran down Steven's pudgy face, his right eye bruised and he sat on the high hill, looking down at the crash debris. "Little one..." That made Steven smile a little, Caz let the shadows swirl around him and he stood behind Steven, a look of worry on Caz's face. Steven stood up and he hugged Caz's legs the best he could, sniffling. Caz bent down and he picked Steven up with ease, he looked around until he saw the temple. He rode the shadows down to the shore line, and he started to walk towards the temple, unaware about the other gems who lived there. "What the-no way!" Amethyst called out, looking out the window with large and surprised eyes. "Amethyst what's the matter?" Pearl said, annoyed and she sat down next to Amethyst, looking out of the windown now and she was shocked. "Garnet! He's back!" Garnet already knew who she was talking about, all three of the gems ran outside to stand in front of Caz, holding Steven still. The three gems started to pull out their weapons. "Thanks big bro..." Steven smiled up at Caz before jumping out of Caz's arms. The three gems stopped from pulling their weapons out and they each forced a smile onto their faces, pretending that they didn't know who Caz was. "See you later, big bro!" Steven smiled as Caz waved and then Caz slowly disappeared with the shadows, each one of the gems except for Steven had a worried look on their faces, but when Steven looked up at the gems once more, they smiled forcefuly once more. Steven smiled back and he ran into the temple, each one of the gems sighing after. "I don't think Steven knows who that actually is..." Pearl wondered out loud, and she hoped along with the other two gems that Steven would never find out who Caz actually was.
