I don't own Steven universe, it's owned by its respected owner or owners

AN: Hello my fellow Steven universe fans and loyal readers, and random person who was curious how this story is, I welcome you. Now this is going to be the second and last part of Raven's story so… please bare with me. If you want to forget this chapter and get to the one with the main storyline I'm afraid you'll have to wait. But like I said these character chapters will be sometimes be short and give you some depth of the characters past and what they did to get to this moment. And for you OC owners give me more information and details, like if you want a battle in your OCs story or a battle song too. It's up to you guys, but who's OC is next for their own chapter is random so don't ask but do give me more details though. Now let's see Raven in this time then the past. ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!

At Beach City

Raven was enjoying himself reading like he has been since last night, which was pretty eventful. Steven was pretty serious about not be woken up so… he didn't want to catch a sword or a shield to the face, so he decided to stay where he was. Emerald decided to bunk with Ruby and Sapphire but since they don't exactly sleep she was probably down there comforting them, must have been bad if she was down there all night. Now, that's friendship right there. I kind of reminded him when he was there for his best friend or sister… Blue Cobalt, those were the days. Nothing holding them back just them vs the universe, it was good until the war started and soon… they kind of drifted apart. Especially how things ended last time they met, which was him in the ground. But that's not exactly how things went, he would have continued on this until someone he was expecting was up and awake.

"Um, Raven have you seen Steven anywhere?" Lapis said asking where her friend was, this caught Raven by surprise and he almost fell off his chair as he was outside reading this whole time with lion by his side and the golems still in their original spots not moving an inch since Steven left with his dad in his van. Raven didn't know what to do, since not to long ago Pearl came asking the same thing and didn't want to say anything ether but knew not to get on a gem women's nerves. So he was pretty much in a bind right now, unless he can come up with something quick and decided to do what he does best in a situation like this… run! He proceeded to summon his staff which startled both lion and Lapis, he then summoned one of his portals and jump straight into it leaving a shocked and confused Lapis and lion.

"So, guess that mean you have to take me to him now, please boy." Lapis asked beginning to bet his mane which made him purr. After she was done he was completely sold and nudged her for her to follow him, as they began to walk down the ramp down and were now on the walking where lion thought Steven was. Soon they were on their way but not alone since the golems have decided to tag along. Now they were off for their search for Steven, while Raven was somewhere else currently.

At The Kindergarten/Battlefield

Raven knew he didn't want to be here but this was the only place he could think of. As he stepped out of the portal he was welcomed to the sight of the now semi destroyed kindergarten which was now an old battlefield. As he look around he could feel the emotions of the last time he was here, when he was here with his sister and how they fought each other to the death. But in reality they were trying to save one another. "Just like yesterday." Raven said to himself in a calm and quiet tone as he began to reminisce of how it all happened.

Flashback

"So… they sent you of all people, my dear sister." Raven said in a calm and serious tone as he knew what he walked into, this was a trap. He knew that the Diamond Authority most of the offensive knew that how bad they were losing that they had to have a spy in their midst. He knew they were getting close to finding him out and he thought that's one of the reasons he was called here for, but he never thought it be a trap… and his best friend and sister here to confront him or… kill him. But he could see in her eyes the disbelief and pain that she didn't love what she was seeing, her brother and the person she trusted most in life… was a turncoat, a spy, a traitor… a crystal gem. He could see tears threatening to come down her face as she didn't want to believe it, but she was seeing it with her own eyes. So deciding to ask the million dollar question, the question that she wanted to know… why

"The only thing I want to know is… why, why would you throw your life away!? Because of peace, money, for the greater good!? WHY!?" Blue Cobalt said as she summoned small black knife with a blue handle that didn't look much but he knew that knife well. It was her karamabit that has shed a lot of crystal gems blood and one of the reasons he joined the crystal gems. "For you, because I saw how homeworld and the Diamond Authority use you! Because my dear sister… I LOVE YOU AND I CAN'T SEE YOU DESTROY YOUR INNOCENCE BECAUSE OF THEM!" Raven yelled out as he summoned his staff and charged at his sister, the last person he ever wanted to face but destiny seems to have different plans. Blue Cobalt had a look of shock and then anger as she charged as well, with the intention of killing her brother… the only person until that would never hurt her. A battle of blood was on.

(World So Cold By 12 Stones)

Raven proceeded to use his staff to strike her hoping of hitting her on the head to knock her out to end this quickly but it seemed like Blue Cobalt had other plans as she swiftly dodged his hit. This caught him by surprise but decided to continue his onslaught of swings with his staff hoping to make contact with anything but was only hitting the air as she continued to dodge with swift and grace. Quickly getting tired of how things were happening he decided to do what he did best… use the shadows. Even though he didn't usually show or do it he could manipulate shadows, they didn't call him a necromancer for nothing. He then proceeded to hit the ground which confused her at first until he knew what he was doing and had a shock and horrified expression. She did the only thing he can do as her situation was dire, she disappeared!

She used one of her abilities that let her turn invisible for a limited time which was one of the reasons she was homeworld's favorite assassin, by the time the shadows he was using made contact with her… she was gone. This was more difficult then he thought as he knew she can try to strike him anywhere and anytime. He began to ready his staff, ready to defend himself from any of her sneak attack or any other attacks. This is the kind of stuff that made Raven not to ever want to fight her, she could attack him any where and he couldn't even see it coming. While he was thinking on this he didn't notice a blurry figure slowly stalking it's way towards him. But just before the figure could attack him the figure, the figure made a grave mistake by stepping on a lone twig which caused Raven to act quickly.

Raven's staff soon made contact with the figure's stomach which launched it towards a giant boulder and when the figure finally hit the boulder in did… hard. After about a few seconds later the figure soon changed into Blue Cobalt who looked like she had the wind knocked out of her. Raven then decided to make a grave risk, he was going to deliver the final blow so she could retreat into her gem so he can take her to Rose and help him try to talk some sense into her. He the began to slowly make his way towards her and was about a few inches away from her and was about to deliver the final blow until something hit him when he saw her unconscious face… he was going to hurt the person he loves so much for… this war.

He was going to make her retreat into her gem so he can capture and take her to Rose, it may have looked to be for the greater good but… to him he was no better then the Diamonds and the people he was fighting against. After some time of him thinking, he finally came to a decision… that will not change his destiny but Blue Cobalt's too. He proceeded to pick up Blue Cobalt's karamabit which she dropped when he hit her with his staff, he began to weep very silently which wasn't quiet enough as it seem to make Blue Cobalt stir. She then began to shake off the pain she was feeling and proceeded to look at Raven to see if he was going to finish her off, but was stunned from shock to see that he wasn't doing that… but to see that he had her karamabit in his hands… right above his chest looking like… he was about to do something very unexpected and shocking. She could see some tears come down his face and saw the look he gave them, and that smile she grew to love from him.

"I… love you… sister." Raven said in a choked out sob, Blue Cobalt was still shock and that soon turned to horror as she used her blade to pierce his chest. "BROTHER!" Blue Cobalt yelled out in despair as she saw him return to his gem. It was quiet like a graveyard after that, Raven could still see her face… the face he grew to love. As long as he she was alright and hopefully safe, that's all could do now as his world became dark… hope.

(End Of Song)

End Of Flashback

"I hope… your still the same lovable sister I've come to love." Raven said in a calm and quiet tone, thinking about how he ended up here brought up a lot of bad memories. But now he can make new and good ones because he's here now with the crystal gems, and with new and old friends. He began to smile knowing whatever he faces from here on out he won't be doing alone. He proceeded to summon one of his portals and was about to enter it, when he felt a very large and terrifying energy coming behind him. He then turned around and was shocked and horrified to see a… he didn't know what it was but it didn't seem friendly at all. Raven summoned his staff ready to defend himself from the terrifying creature in front of him which was a fusion mutant… as it seem worse.

The creature looked to have the body of a humanoid and was covered in a black and hot energy that covered his whole body which made it more unsettling(Think naruto's four tails cloak, if you don't know look it up). It's eyes were blood red and were it's mouth which showed large sharp teeth but what caught his attention was a cracked black gem like stone that looked to be an arrow head pointing downwards on his chest. It see to have a large reptilian tail with small red spikes going along its spine to its tail and two devil like horns protruding from its head, it began to get an all fours like a predator ready to pounce. And it did as it let out a ear piercing shriek and came charging at a terrified but brave Raven who got his staff ready for the creatures attack. The only thing he can do is hope and pray that he can handle this monster and that the others can feel this terrible and rage filled energy. Before Raven could react in time the creature tackled him along with it through the portal taking them to… Beach City

To Be Continued

AN: Ok… that was terrifying for me to write! Now that Raven has his head in the game will he and the others be powerful enough to take on what… ever that thing is. Will the team that's still having problems be enough to protect Beach City and everyone one from that monster!? Will the be more surprises down the road… maybe. Anyways thanks for BXE and MeteorSmash for summiting your OCs which I'm still accepting even from people who already have some on here as well. Thanks for reading and do please leave a review. See ya! Oh and if anyone can guess what that thing is, you get a shout out and an imaginary cookie!

Special thanks to Dalekz universe for letting me use such an awesome OC, and all of you too!
