-Pilot: Leo, The Call Has Come-
It had been three weeks since that fateful day that Pink had taken his best friend away from the world. Leo had spent his time working, mourning, working on Gem Technology, seeking it out, and actively doing research on Gems. He had mulled the idea of going to the government with his findings. However, Gem Galaxy came to an agreement it would not work because Pink could easily just flee the country. As for the Crystal Gems, tempting as it was to pin them for tax evasion, he could not bring himself to inflict possible trauma on Steven.
Kid had to live with the face that everything he knew about his mother was a lie and she used him to get out of her job. He had kept tabs on them following this, but what he had heard about them was not all sunshine and rainbows. Steven had become withdrawn and the Gems were not really in a talking mood with any one of them.
With it marking the third week, Leo had his day off and lounged at home which felt empty without Sheena around. There he saw working on a piece of Gem Tech wearing one of Sheena's band shirts before a knock on the door interrupted his flow.
"That's weird. The pizza guy shouldn't be here this early." Leo said walking to the door only to see a figure in a cloak. "And what do you want?"
"Are you the one the people of Earth call "Leo Mars"?" The figure said as Leo tensed.
"What's it to you?" Leo said lowering his brow.
"Because I need your help." The figure said coming in and dropping the cloak.
Leo had figured that there were other species of aliens in the universe. He not expected one to come to him.
"Well, she's not a gem or inorganic." He thought looking her over.
She had periwinkle blue-colored fur, black markings on her face, and pointed ears. The middle of her face, her chest and her stomach are white. She has black stripes on her shoulders, waist, lower legs and lower arms. Her eyes lit up with an orange color and her long violet hair that goes down to her waist. an almost bandage wrapping-like midriff baring top and skirt that was a dark brown color. She wore a dark brown headband, light brown fingerless gloves, a light brown wrapping around her upper left arm, brown furry boots, and a black choker around her neck.
"Ok, I got a question. Who are you, what are you, and how do you know my name? And before you ask, yes in that order." Leo said closing the door and plopping down on the couch.
"I am Rook Shar, a Revonnahgander from the planet Revonnah. As for how I know your name, you've been under the eye of the Resistance for some eyes." Shar explained.
"I'm assuming Resistance against the Gems." Leo remarked.
"That would be correct. Your species is one of the luckier ones, probably one of the luckiest to not have lost their planet to them." Shar mused.
"Well, we still have a giant cluster of unholy horror in the core of our planet, humans are trapped in the zoo, and the ghost of the one of the diamonds is running around who knows where." Leo said bitterly. "And the world's blissfully ignorant, but what do the Resistance want from me?"
"Your help in fighting the Gem race. As I've said, the Resistance was watching this planet for some time. Observing your planet's databases, your site came up on our radar." Shar explained. "After observing you, they decided that you were best suited to help us."
She took up Leo's hands pleading with him to help them, and Leo was a bit stunned to know that they came for him.
"One question, are they still watching me?" Leo asked.
"No. They stopped when they sent me. I do not even know why they chose me…they told me to convince you at all costs to join us." Shar said pleadingly.
"I'll do it." Leo said getting up. "If it's help fight against those Gem assholes, I'll gladly aid."
"Wonderful! But…Gems don't have anal cavities." Shar said both elated and lost on slang.
"Ok, I guess you wouldn't know slang." Leo remarked.
-K-
The rest of Gem Galaxy were all the more shocked that an alien came for Leo or that there were other species. There were questions, of course. However, Shar admitted to a time crunch and summed it up for them.
"So, you need our help because the head scientist has created something to turn the tide against the Gems and to help in rising numbers. But why, him? Why a human?" Ron asked.
"I don't even have that information. It's been all hush-hush to prevent leaks. I was barely even all the information. And yes, they are aware of your actions, but they only want Leo." Shar explained.
"I get why. Leo wouldn't be missed among the lot of us. The CGs would get weary if all of us just left." Jude said making a good point.
"Plus, my scrambler for Future Vision is limited. The moment we all left, Garnet would get that something's fishy. I'm surprised they aren't here seeing that a ship is clearly on Earth." Leo said looking over at Shar.
"Cloaking tech against the Gem scanners." Shar explained simply.

"Well, there's no choice in the matter. I'm going, and all of you can help me pack." Leo said determined more now than ever.
They would all pitch to help and everyone to find themselves in a nearby field outside of the town where Shar had her ship. Leo loaded the last of his things on it as Shar started up the ship.
"I guess this is goodbye…for now. Wish me the best." Leo said warmly.
"Try not to get Space STDs, brah." Jude remarked.
"And take pictures…we need to know if the alien women are as hot as they are in fiction!" Wayne said as the hatch began to clos
Nikki hugged him one last time as he returned it. Leo handed her Sheena's house keys asking her to look over the place. Bidding his final goodbyes to his friend, he entered the ship and they watched it take off. Leo sat in the seat next to Shar asking where their destination is.
"We'll be heading to Rudeeze. It's a desert planet in the far end of the galaxy, and it's the home base of the Resistance at the moment. We'll be able to stay out of the radar of the Gems for the long while." Shar said before putting the ship on autopilot. "So, for now, I really want to learn about your planet's culture."
She turned to him rather excited and Leo thought about it for a moment.
"Well, thanks to my inventions…we'll get access to the internet as long as we're still in the galaxy. So, I guess I can show you a bit." Leo said kindly.

[Cues: Asterite100 - Steven Universe - White Diamond Theme (Custom)]
Within the highest parts of the Diamonds, White Diamond stood upon her throne watching the stars. More specifically, she was watching her favorite show. Earth. She wanted to see what antics Pink was getting up to, but not focused so much to not notice the ship leaving with Leo.
"So, the resistance that Pink betrayed still exists. Quite interesting that a human of all species was taken. This is quite strange." White Diamond said in thought before chuckling, "But this could quite entertaining, but I doubt a mere human can be any threat to us."
(A/N: This is a pilot for a potential fanfiction all of its own. A miniseries focusing on an actual resistance wanting to end Gem tyranny. Seeing that Steven Universe Future is NOT going to answer whether there are other species in the galaxy, I'm going to have to do something. Honestly, this story is going to a total adventure with tons of surprises along the way. However, there's the matter of timeline placement.
This story can one of two ways: It can be placed before Aquamarine and Topaz kidnapped Steven and his friends, thus Lars isn't pink yet or it can be placed after that with Lars on Homeworld with the Off-Colors.
I want to leave this to you all to decide, so give me some feedback.)
