Normal Pov.

Dark gray clouds hang high in the sky, blocking the world from the sun. The occasional sound of thunder would ring out across the lands. Down below, near a riverbank lied a still form. The form belonged to none other then Steven Universe.

He laid there on the muddy ground with half his body still in the water, but was not swept away. He would have remained there on the ground unconscious if not for a visitor.

A small bird flew down upon him and landed on his head. The bird would chirp every few seconds and peck at his head. It kept doing this until Steven started to stir. The bird seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing pecking Stevens head.

Big mistake.

Steven:"Get off me!"

He swiped at the bird. Said bird panicked and flew away, leaving Steven alone. Still slightly disorientated Steven propped himself up on his knees while trying to clear his head. Shaking his head he got to his feet and surveyed the area.

He appeared to be in some forest given all the trees surrounding him. Turning to the river he looked up it and saw nothing resembling the cliff he fell off.

Steven:"How far did the river take me?"

Just then his head started pounding. He gripped his head as the pain started to become unbearable. After a few moments the pain settled down a bit but wasn't fully gone yet.

Steven:"*Grumbles* Where are some painkillers when you need them"

Then memories of last night resurfaced from his mind. The gem facility, some weird device, an explosion, the gems rushing at him, running through the storm, then final the fall from the cliff and the murderous looks from the ones he called family. This rush of memories caused him to fall to his knees once more.

Steven:"*Distraught* T-they attacked me! They looked ready to kill me?!"

Tears began to cloud his vision as the memories repeated themselves over and over again. In moments they fell as his grief fully made itself aware. As his tears fall he wonders what he should do now, the gems made it VERY clear that they will attack him with the intent to kill. He would have to dwell on this later as he realized just how parched he is. Turning back to the river he questions if he should drink from it but seeing no other sources of water he reluctantly drinks from it. After drinking what could have been gallons worth of water he raised his head from the water. Gazing upon the water he notices his reflection and his heart stops, his whole body was different in not only size, but in shape, and color.

He's not just taller but a LOT taller, around 8 feet tall making him a head taller then Garnet. Under the remains of his shirt and pants (rags at this point) he appears to have well defined muscles to go with his new bulky frame which is a purplish pink. Covering his body was some kind of dull pink armor that seems to be made of the same stuff as his gem and looked to be merged with his body. Across his body were brown vines that went over his armor and were covered in white thorns. Turning he sees that his spine was exposed with tidbits of flesh clinging to it. Turning back around he gazes at his fingers that seem to be encased in the same kind of armor as the rest of his body that end in sharp claws, his toes were in the same boat. His face seems to be armored just like the rest of his body with a pair of pointy ears. His eyes though were black and the iris was pink with a slight glow to it. His hair was more wild and spiky, reaching the base of his neck with the base of the hair colored a dark pink and becoming lighter going up. When he open his mouth he found two rows of teeth, the front set were sharp and pointy while the second row looked like normal teeth.

(A/N This is the skin like armor that covers his body, you AOT fans will like this)

Steven:"What happened to me?"

As he continues to check himself out he hears a twig snap. His head snapped in the direction of the sound and, unbeknownst to him, his pupils dilate into slits. Seconds tick by as he stared unblinking at the source of the noise. Then out came the cause of the noise, a rabbit. Steven doesn't know why but that rabbit is looking VERY tasty right now, he even drooled a little. Realizing what he was thinking he shakes his head, wondering why he was thinking this. His sudden movement caused the rabbit to run off into the forest. Sighing in relief he decides to move through the forest and find a way out.

...

Hours pass as he makes his way through the forest. He would look to the sky and try to find the sun so he would know which way was north but couldn't thanks to the clouds. After some time he stopped and took a break. Using this time he observed his surroundings to make sure nothing would get the jump on him. Normally he wouldn't be this paranoid but he didn't know where he was and knew that gem monsters roamed the earth and he REALLY didn't want to run into one of them. Seeing that all was clear he began to think about what he should do when he gets home.

He sure as hell can't stay in the temple due to the fact that the gems might try and kill him. Maybe he could try and stay at Vidalias, she was a friend of dads and was always kind to him. That is if she doesn't freak out about his new appearance. He could stay with dad in the van, but that's if he doesn't have a heart attack at the sight of him. Or maybe Sadie, she was always nice to him at the Big Donut. Maybe she could offer him some sanctuary for awhile, at least until he can fined a place for himself. His thoughts were broken by the rustling of some nearby bush.

From the bushes came a dear. It walked around a bit before it started eating some grass. Steven silently watched the dear as it ate. This reminded him that he hasn't eaten since yesterday and should probably fined something to eat. As if hearing this his stomach rumbled loudly as if to tell him it agrees. The stomach's rumbled didn't go unnoticed as the dears head shot up and stared right at Steven. As he stared at the dear he started to feel weird and VERY hungry. His vision starts to go black and before he enters complete darkness he can see himself rushing at the dear.

...

After some time his vision starts to return to him along with his senses. It didn't take him long to realize that there was something in his mouth. Chewing a bit his tastes came to live and told him what ever was in his mouth was delicious. Chewing some more he swallows and enjoys the tastes as it goes down his throat and into his stomach. No longer felling hungry he starts to look around and notices that he was in the same area as before. Confused he got up and decided to look around. He didn't get more than a foot before hearing a loud crack. Looking down he saw the remains of a dear skeleton or whats left of one since it was missing almost a third of them. This only added to his confusion cause he doesn't remember there being a dear skeleton here earlier so how did-

The realization of what really happened came down on him like a ton of bricks.

He starts to feel sick but manages to keep his food down, or what is actually the rest of the dear in his stomach.

Steven:"I-I ate the dear"

His mouth quivers a bit before curling into a smile, or best they can given the armor.

Steven:"And it was delicious! Although it could've used some sauce, maybe if I fined the right herbs I could try to make my own seasoning and use it the next time I find a dear"

Normally he would be horrified by what he did. But what's done is done, no use in crying over spilled milk. Besides he was hungry and its already in his stomach so there's no use in complaining now.

With that settled he began his journey once more to find a way home.

...

3 hours later he comes to the edge of the forest. Upon exiting it he finds himself near the kindergarten that Amethyst brought him to a while back. He makes his way over to it, going from grassy grounds to dead earth as he got closer.

Once inside the kindergarten he starts to look around the place. He sees many exit holes made by gems when they emerge and the injectors that make the gems. In the distance he sees a warp pad and this makes him pick up his pace as he rushes towards it. When he arrived he was about to try and warp away when something out the corner of his eye caught his attention. He sees some strange green orb thing hovering above what he could guess were legs. It seems to be looking for something as it goes around a nearby corner. Curiosity getting the better of him he decides to follow it.

10 minutes of following the green orb thing and he sees it stop. He watches as the legs disappear inside it before it shoots the ground below it with green electricity. The ground opens up as it transforms into a prism and connects with the hole. It then started to descend further into the ground and, not wanting to be left behind, followed it. He slid down the hole and landed on top of the thing and rode it the rest of the way. It didn't take long to reach the bottom.

He entered some kind of cavern that had what he could guess was gem tech all over the place. As the prism thing came to a stop a platform came out and connected to the prism he was on. Soon lines of green energy appeared on the platform and went through the cavern, illuminating it a little. A glowing circle appeared further in the room and a some kind of hand shaped console rose up from it. To distracted by this he never noticed the little orb thing run across the room until it was on the console. A crystal at the very end glowed as the walls started to different pictures of the kindergarten. The a beam shot out of the crystal and formed a holo screen that revealed a green gem with yellow diamond shaped hair and a visor with her gem on her forehead.

The green gem begins going over various things with another holo screen on her end. As she talks about things that Steven didn't really care about he decided to get closer and see what she's looking at. She appears to have summoned two giant green hands that start to do stuff on the walls. In moments the ceiling opened and six pillars came out.

Steven:"I wonder what those are?"

In a matter of seconds the pillars along with the screens on the walls vanished and the screen with the gems face appeared right in front of him with the floating hands below it. Her look of confusion quickly turned to one of fear.

?:"*Terrified* W-What are you?!"

Steven:"Human"

He could see the look of disbelieve on her face. He would to if in her position.

?:"Y-You don't look l-like any human w-we have on d-database"

He couldn't help but give a toothy smile, which obviously terrified her even more.

Steven:"I'm a special case"

From what he could see she was looking up various things on her end, trying to find records of something like him. Too bad she won't find anything.

Steven:"There's no use in searching for something like me. After all; I'm one of a kind"

She seems relieved at this information.

?:"*Mumbles* At least there isn't anymore of you"

Steven:"I heard that!"

She lets out and 'eep' before trying to compose herself.

Steven:"Now mind if I ask what your doing?"

He could see the small smile grow on her face.

?:"Just picking up were we left off"

With that she brings a fist up and try's to squash Steven. He stared as the fist came down at a somewhat slow pace wondering if she really means to hurt him. Not seeing this as a real threat he simply steps out the way as the fist hits the ground. He gives her a deadpan look while she looks sheepish.

Steven:"Really?"

This seems to tick her off as she brings the other fist up and sends it twice as fast. Now seeing a threat he leaps out the way. This just pissed her off.

?:"Hold still!"

She did the same thing again and still missed. Now frustrated she started sending the fist all over the place. Steven had a hard time dodging since the attacks and actually got hit. The hit itself sent him flying into a wall and he could hear the gem cheer at the successful hit. She sent one more to finish the job. Just as it was about to hit him he grabbed it with one hand and stopped it completely. This of course shocked the gem.

?:"*Disbelieve* WHAT?!"

Growling Steven raised his head to reveal his slitted eyes. The gem was freaked out by this and Steven used this to his advantage by grabbing the fist with his other hand before tearing it in half. She panicked some more and sent the other fist at him. He simple moved to the side and just as it passed him he grabbed it. With a roar he threw the fist into the crystal at the far end of the room and it blew up. The holo screen started to glitch up and before it disappeared the gem had one last thing to say.

?:"*Pissed* I'M REPORTING THIS!"

And so the screen went out and the room was bathed in darkness.

...

Steven spent 2 minutes clawing his way out of the hole and onto the surface. Once out he started to look for a way out of the kindergarten. Didn't take him long to find a warp pad in the distance and rushed towards it. Upon arrival he tried to warp home but it wouldn't. He continued to try until the sun had nearly set but had no luck. Realizing that it wasn't going to work he stopped trying.

Instead he decided to leave the kindergarten. Using what little memory he has of this place he goes looking for an exit. To make matters worse it started raining.

Steven:"Oh come on!"

With a growl he went searching for some shelter. Sadly the only thing that could count as shelter were the exit holes, which were too small for him. just as he was about to call it a day he hears the horn of a train in the distance. This sparked a memory of the time he ran away with Amethyst and how they road a train all the ways to the kindergarten. Using this to his advantage he rushed out of the kindergarten and towards the train.

It didn't take him long to spot the train. Running with all his strength he caught up to it and looked for a way in. Seeing a open cart ahead he picked up speed and got alongside it. Using every last bit of strength he had left he leaped into the cart and crashed into a hay pile.

Tired and sore from the days events he let sleep claim him.
