Tags: Isekai Fic, Disgruntled fan is now Steven Universe, 'Steven' decided he isn't going to be play by Rebecca's rules, Steven's a bit more openly gray, A bit of a manipulation will come out of 'Steven', Inspired by 'The Sword, The Shield, The Diamond' by XenonDark
Steven slept in his bed peacefully dreaming what every jaded Steven Universe fan dreamt off, ending the Diamonds. He pictured himself sitting on a throne wearing White Diamond's shattered remains as armor with Yellow and Blue chained to the throne.
His eyes snapped open as he realized that he was not dreaming that he was isekai'd. He got up going over to his bathroom mirror. Something he noticed was that there was one simple change in this universe was he was two years older. It was a small change, but at least he knew he could control his powers better. Plus, he wasn't exactly short. There was another realization that came. With the Steven-only narrative of canon, he, by virtue of not being a freaking dipshit, could practically side-step most of it. He showered and went to his duffel bag. The gems were going to see a new Steven. With a bit of altering and tailoring, Steven looked at himself in the mirror.
He now wore a weighted black undershirt, a pair dark gray pants with a white belt, and white weighted boots. He wrapped a pink bandana around his neck, slipped his fingerless gloves, and got to putting on the weighted bands on his arms. Lastly, he checked the weights and started off basic at about 250 pounds.
"Time to get training." Steven said, going outside.
Out on the beach, Steven started his training by going through his usual training, though on the small scale considering the new body.
-o-
Lars and Sadie were doing what they usually did in opening the Big Donut before noticing Steven was out on the beach.
"Is that Steven…all in black?" Sadie said confused. "And what's the wooden post…holy shit!"
[Cues: Dragon Ball Z: Attack of Saiyans OST – Title Screen]
Lars whirled around to see that Steven was sparring against the wooden training post to which the donut worker recognized to be those used in martial arts. Steven, in complete focus, focused on his punches, kicks, and elbow attacks going high and low. He was silent with the only sounds being grunts and the swing of wood. Steven leapt over the post landing a chop on the 'head' of the post before taking a breath.

"Steven, where the heck was you hiding all that skill?" Sadie said running up. "I didn't think you could fight."
"Exactly, you weren't supposed to know." Steven said sagely. "I was playing a role, being the loveable goofball…for you to underestimate me. Fooled you, fooled the Gems, and fooled my dad. I'm a lot more aware than I let on. It's a principle of ninjutsu. Yes, I do know ninjutsu."
"What, do you know every fighting style known to man?" Lars asked sarcastically.
"I know of three fighting styles. Ninjutsu, Boxing, and Shotokan. Mastered boxing, adept in shotokan, but I'm still working on nailing the disciplines of ninjutsu." Steven said at the flabbergasted Sadie and Lars.
"Wait, disciplines?" Sadie asked as Steven nodded.
"There are nineteen of them, but the ones I'm focusing on are spiritual refinement, unarmed combat, sword techniques, stick and staff techniques, spear techniques, throwing weapons techniques, pyrotechnics, disguise and impersonation, stealth and entering methods, water training, tactics, espionage, escaping and concealment, meteorology, geography, and esoteric Hand-Seal Practice." Steven rattled off.
"So, what? You can sneak up in people's homes?" Lars snarked.
"Lars, I've seen your room. You need to hide your stash of magazines." Steven said as Lars sputtered.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side." Sadie said sheepish as Lars took a cautious step back.
"Sadie, you're a sweet one, and I thought you could get on my bad side." Steven said hoisting the dummy over his shoulder. "Now if you excuse me, I need to get home and cook up some breakfast."
Steven whistled a tune walking leaving Sadie and Lars to blankly get back to opening up for the day. As for the other residents who saw Steven's display of combat, they were all thinking…that maybe they should not brush him off as a goofball. Back in the beach house, the Gems were sitting around.
"Morning." Steven said putting the training dummy aside.
"There you are, I was going to ask abou…since when do you have a sword?" Pearl said taking up Aoi. "But Steven…a ninjaken? I know Japanese swords are beautiful and stylish, but European swords are…"
"Not my jazz. Nothing beats the grace of a ninjaken…except it's brothers and sisters of the katana family." Steven said before starting to get cooking. "Now if you excuse me, I need to cook breakfast. And no Pearl, I insist I cook."
As Steven got to cooking, Pearl put the sword back and sat at the table. Amethyst was asking what Steven was planning to cook only for Garnet's future vision to spoil any surprise. Steven simply shrugged off and soon presented them with banana pancakes. Amethyst was always shoving a few into her mouth and spraying the syrup down her throat.
"Save some for everyone." Steven said as he hurriedly ate his share. "I need to be able to carbo-load to keep up my training. I already completely pre-breakfast training. I just need to finish breakfast to work on my swordsmanship."
"You're really taking this, seriously." Garnet said as she was slow to eat. "I'm glad for it. And you've done well on these."
"I had to cook for myself all considering. Pearl just wants to spoil me so much, she's all stunned I'm spoiling her." Steven teased.
"Well, I'm not much of a food person, but…I'll give a shot." Pearl said before slamming her fork on Amethyst's hand to stop her from stealing her food.
"Pearl, you bitch." Amethyst snarled under her breath. "You don't even eat food."
"True, but I can't let it waste." Pearl said kindly. "He did leave me just one to enjoy."
Steven finished his food, washed his plate, and got his haramaki and sword on him waiting for the others to finish. Shortly after breakfast and Pearl washing the dishes, they were back on the beach. Garnet insisted that they wanted to see how capable Steven was and Amethyst volunteered to test Steven's skill.
Steven took one side of the beach and Amethyst took the other side. There was no time for words to be exchanged, just nothing but combat. Steven considered his options and how to approach before forming a bit of a plan.
[Cues: SU Attack the Light OST – Boss Theme]
Amethyst was one to strike first with her whip only for Steven to roll out of the way and summon his shield. He threw at her seemingly having bad aim and missing her. Amethyst took the time to turn around to see the arc it went.
"What's the matter, can't hit…" Amethyst said turning back around to a flying kick to the face. "Shit."
"Never take your eyes off your opponent." Steven said taking a stance.
Amethyst produced her whip to whirl for surprise attack to which Steven produced his bubble shield to block the blow. He dissipated the bubble as Amethyst did the same with her whip.
"Not bad, Steven, but I'm not going to play nice." Amethyst said cracking her knuckles.
Steven had one answer in just raising his pinkish-white aura. With his blazing, he rushed at her as she blocked with a shoulder guard. What followed was an exchange of blows to which Pearl and Garnet realized Amethyst was in a bit of trouble. While arguably stronger, Amethyst fought as a street brawler whereas Steven had technique. Garnet was a bit surprised to get a bit of boxing thrown in Steven's moves.
"Amethyst, I figured out what your lacking." Steven said before palm striking her stomach. "Technique."
Steven suddenly draws back to dodge Amethyst's grab, and just as suddenly steps forward again with an abdomen-aimed uppercut with his opposite fist. Amethyst caught his arm with the whip only for him to pull her into a knee strike the head before headbutting her back into the ground. Leaping into the air, he flew further up and yanked Amethyst into the air who responded with a double axe handle sending Steven crashing into the ground. Bruised, Steven got up as Amethyst was diving down at him. His hand on his sword as he closed his eyes waiting for the moment. The moment the 'breath' of the opponent, he drew his blade for a single stroke slash. He had freed himself from Amethyst's whip and left a cut on her arm.
"Well that fucking stings." Amethyst hissed in pain. "So, you're not all just talk with it."
"I didn't think Gems could bleed." Steven said honing his energy into the blade. "But regardless, it's time for my swan song, Bursting Ballad."
Steven fired a pinkish-red shockwave from his sword as Amethyst attempted to whip it aside only upon her making contact for it to burst spraying out multiple hits before blowing up in Amethyst's face. Steven promptly decided to yield giving he did not want to push himself too hard.
[Music Ends]
"At least I still won!" Amethyst bragged.
"Amethyst, this was not a competition. This was gauge Steven's level of combat, and I'd say he's nearing the gap." Garnet said as Pearl was supportive.
He sheathed Black Razor and thanked them for the praise. He had left them behind to spend time training on his own which entailed meditation on near the lighthouse to fully hone his ki. The sooner he could do so, the better. Within his mindscape, he went for mental training unbridled by physical limitations.
Within the mind, Steven was locked in combat against Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz. Not holding back with no mercy, he fought on holding nothing but contempt for both of them. He clashed Pink Diamond first as Rose rushed at him from behind. With a flash step, Rose wound up punching Pink before Steven reappearing behind them and blasting them away. Steven flew in headbutting Rose and slamming her body into Pink's. As the fighting got more intense, Steven was about to draw his sword…
"Steven!"
Steven's eyes snapped open as he panted with sweat trickling down his head. He whirled around to see Amethyst there as he asked what she wanted.
"Want to go grab some food?" Amethyst said as Steven sighed.
He checked his cell phone to see the time and realized he was meditating for nearly ninety minutes. Steven got up and chuckled.
"All right, what did we get yesterday?" Steven asked.
"Donut Dogs?" Amethyst said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, then. Pizza." Steven said. "But not Fish Stew though. I can't really stand their pizza."
"You were faking liking their pizza?" Amethyst said raising her eyebrows.
"Don't tell the others. We can go elsewhere for pizza especially considering…" Steven said floating off the ground. "I can fly, and you can shapeshift wings on your back."
Amethyst looked like she just had a realization…and promptly tried to shapeshift wings which appeared draconic in nature.
"Huh, never thought about doing that." Amethyst said flapping her wings.
"Amethyst, let's just say I have ideas on you, Pearl, and Garnet can add to your abilities." Steven said wistfully. "But I'll explain later, for now, let's fly."
Steven took off into the skies with Amethyst flying after him. Steven felt freest in the air and Amethyst was taken aback at now easy he made it look. He was glad that his gem powers made flying much easier to perform as he felt it cut the usual amount of energy, he would have to put into it in half. After a few minutes, Steven and Amethyst were out of Beach City and in another town…specifically Connie's hometown, but Steven had not realized it yet. As the two were looking for a pizza place, one was in the middle of being robbed.
"Hand over your wallets, your cell phones, and your watches and nobody gets shot!"
Dr. Priyanka Maheswaran was wishing she had not gone to Little Dominion today, but she had her craving for their pizza. However, by contrivance or luck, Steven and Amethyst blissfully walked as the robber looked at them. Steven sauntered up to the counter about to order when said robber pointed out the place was being robbed. Steven rolled his eyes simply raising one hand.
"I'll only need one finger to deal with you." Steven said before flicking him causing a shockwave.
The force sent the thief flying out of the pizza place and smack into the pizza delivery car before crumpling on the floor out cold. Everyone, except Amethyst, looked absolutely slack-jawed. It did not help that the spot like Steven flicked him had a nasty bruise forming.
"Welcome to Little Dominion, what can I get you?" The cashier said blankly.
"Three large pepperoni pizzas." Steven said not fazed that the robber is bleeding over the pavement.
Being a doctor, Priyanka had at least done the bare minimum to assure that the thief was not going to up and die from the force of the blow. Steven turned his attention and decided to at least ask her that the thief was not dead.
"No, just a concussion, a broken arm, and shattered kneecap. Your finger was literally the force of a cannon." Priyanka said as an ambulance came.
"When you're a martial artist, you tend to control yourself. Had I punched him, I'm pretty sure he'd be in worse shape. I only give him one finger because I didn't want to kill him." Steven said with a sigh.
"What? Did you walk out of those silly shonens my daughter loves so much?" Priyanka said with a bit of sarcasm.
"There's lies an air of truth in fiction." Steven said cryptically as the EMTs took the battered thief away.
Steven went back inside took up his pizza before paying for it and asked about the delivery car.
"Don't worry about it. We'll let insurance deal with it…thanks for preventing the theft." The cashier said handing Steven a voucher for a free pizza. "On behalf of our manager."
Steven gladly accepted it and the pizza before leaving with Amethyst. A good distance away, they took to the skies.
"Damn, Steven, were you serious about all that restraint?" Amethyst asked.
"Of course, I was. Restraint is good for dealing with opponents who are clearly weaker than you. I didn't want to waste energy." Steven said as Amethyst laughed.
"Steven, Garnet would say you handled it well…and probably tell me…I could use some of that." Amethyst semi-joked.
"That's because she's all wound up." Steven said as his phone rang. "Amethyst, take the pizzas."
Amethyst took them up as he answered his phone.
"Yo, you've hit up the Universe. Oh…hey dad, I'm on my way back to Beach City now. I'm literally right over the place…just look up." Steven said as he floated down to the ground before hanging up.
"Since when you can fly?" Greg asked.
"Rose could float, and I…promptly improved on it to fly." Steven said confidently.
Amethyst landed on the ground and promptly dissipated her wings. Greg was given a box of pizza with Steven remarked he got a box for him.
"I'd thought you go to Fish Stew for pizza." Greg said as Steven whispered. "Well, I actually wanted some good pizza…so I went out of the way. Don't tell Kofi that though."
Greg nodded as Amethyst and Steven went on their way to the beach house. Steven walked into the Big Donut to pick up drinks and a few donuts.
"And that's how I got a free voucher for pizza." Steven said after telling them the story. "Flicked his ass right out of the shop."
"You can't be serious." Lars said dryly as Steven glared at him.
"Want a demonstration?" Steven said raising his hand that sparked with pink energy.
"Nope." Lars said flatly. "I believe!"
"Lars, you really need to stop flaking, that ain't cool." Steven said right as the Cool Kids waltzed in. "Speaking of cool…what's up guys?"
"Steven, so my sister wasn't speaking hot air when she said you were in all black." Jenny said. "What's the occasion?"
"Figured I'd look the part if for my job of hunting monsters, saving the world, and looking good while doing it." Steven said coolly.
"Words to live by." Sour Cream said high-fiving Steven.
"Besides, these are just the clothes to train in…not to go on the mission. I'm planning that." Steven said as he took his donuts from Lars. "Anyways, later."
He left as Buck bid him goodbye.
"To think Steven was hiding all that cool, quite the pleasant surprise." Buck remarked.
"And he's starting to look good." Jenny said coyly.
"Seriously, how did he do that?!" Lars thought.
Steven was snickering all the way home before getting out his laptop. He plugged in the charger and opened it up while logging in as Amethyst set the pizza down. Steven made sure to clear old online accounts under his old name. No more Tumblr, no more Twitter, no more Facebook. Thankfully, he could keep his deviantART after changing the deviantID profile, the username he could keep. Ironically, this was because he only recently rejoined the site.
"What are you doing?" Amethyst asked handing him a slice.
"Just checking up on my art portfolio, and my online connections. Drawing's been a hobby that I can get paid for." Steven said munching on the slice. "I just need to set my commission prices."
"Wait, you draw these? I'd didn't peg you for an artist." Amethyst said eyeing the pieces. "It reminds me of an old friend…that I probably should go visit."
Steven's account only had a few pieces, none SU related at the moment. No, those were stored in his computer. Steven finished his pieces deciding to at least set up his art desk along with his computer equipment. With the desk set, Steven wolfed down two more slices of pizza before guzzling down some soda. Feeling in the mood to draw, he sat down sketching up Amethyst while eating his pizza. He even put on some music from his computer.
[Cues: Lakey Inspired – After School]
"Huh, I didn't think you could draw me up that fast…but why me?" Amethyst asked.
"Why not? I have a beautiful muse in front of me." Steven said focused on the drawing.
He knew Amethyst had self-esteem issues, and a bit of praise would go a long way. Plus, he did want her to feel appreciated considering Pearl had the habit of putting her down. Steven drew up the outfit for the sketch and broke out the colored pencils to give it some color before finishing it.
"There we go. Figured, I'd go for a punk-rocker/gothic look for you." Steven said showing her the picture. "Besides, considering you guys never really mix up your outfits…I figured I'd have a reason for you. Helps to be good practice for shapeshifting."
Amethyst shapeshifted the outfit on her body: a short torn-off sleeves black leather jacket with metal pins, a white tank top with a dark purple skull with black ooze out of the eyes, mauve fingerless gloves with metallic circular studs on the knuckles, dark purple jeans with a chain, black eye shadow, white moto boots with purple lining, snake bite piercings, an industrial ear piercing, and a puma tattoo coiling around her left arm.
"Looking good, Amethyst." Steven said right as Pearl and Garnet came out of their rooms.
"What are you wearing?" Pearl asked confused.
"Something Steven drew up for me." Amethyst said proudly. "And I'll wear it with pride. I wouldn't want to wear the same thing every day."
"Figured it'd help with practice for your shapeshifting. So, I have designs." Steven said getting to his computer. "Let me just organize."
And by organize, Steven meant hide the folders for Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot. Steven opened the folder for Pearl which only had about ten pictures.
"Let's see. Swimsuit…Lingerie design…"
Steven cycled through the ten as Amethyst whistled at the lingerie citing Pearl was never wear something like that. He came to his Pink Blossom Yukata design with yellow tabi and white shocks. Pearl immediately shapeshifted it on spinning around with it loving the design.
"Of course, you'd like it." Steven said before thinking, "Kiss-ass."
He moved to Garnet's folder which had about fifty files with a few being costumes from recognizable media.
"You really had fun drawing these." Amethyst snickered.
"What can I say over than quote Spike Spegil, 'I love a woman who can kick my ass.'" Steven said with a flip of his hair.
"I think we need to a talk about that…eventually." Garnet said with a mirthful. "About how you got that notion."
"Garnet, I'm living in a house surrounded by ass-kicking women. Every man's dream." Steven teased. "Either way, this one here…I can recommend. Nico Robin's from One Piece. She's a tall one who can use her height and long limbs to fight. This outfit was her first timeskip outfit, perfect for the town with my modifications."
"And for you to gawk at me." Garnet said using her future vision.
"Hey, people already do that. Besides, who wouldn't at the walking tank?" Steven said inwardly praying she put it on while putting on the puppy-dog eyes.
"Oh, all right. I suppose mixing things up won't be too bad. Plus, you did put a lot of time into these." Garnet said falling victim to Steven's eyes.
Garnet was now in a long black sari-like skirt with red and blue flowers on the side, a partially-zipped navy blue leather vest with a V-neck line with a yellow star printed on the left breast near the shoulder that exposed her muscled stomach, sunglasses, and black high heeled pumps.
"My ultimate fantasy realized." Steven said with stars in his eyes. "I...I…must draw!"
Steven spent the afternoon drawing and setting himself up take commissions. With a poster soon painted, he slapped those posters around town. If the locals wanted his art skills, so be it. Steven opted for a bit of rest in his bed after putting his best foot forward. He slipped into a dream wistfully.
[Music Ends]
"At last, it has been done. The Diamond Authority is no more, and I stand above all. To rise not as Pink Diamond, but as Blood Diamond."
The shattered remains of White lay on the ground, Blue and Yellow were chained to the throne, and Pearl sat on his lap calling him Rose while rubbing her butt on...
Steven woke up with his eyes flickering before return to the black spheres. He was mildly pissed his good dream was interrupted. He got his phone looking at the time, not long after 11.
"I really need to rub one out." Steven said under his breath while getting up.
He would have walked to the fridge, but he noticed something as he sat up in bed. Focusing his energy to his eyes, they glowed a faint pink shining a light on Pearl who sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Pearl. Why are you sitting near my feet?" Steven said turning on a dim light and releasing the glow from his eyes.
"Steven, what did you mean by rub one out?" Pearl said trying to change the subject.
"Oh no, you don't. I know you've been watching me." Steven said firmly.
"You have?" Pearl said looking guilty.
"I know you don't really sleep like humans do, and all considering you're always around the kitchen in the morning. I just put two and two together." Steven said making the excuse. "Not that I don't exactly take issue…but do it from the couch."
"Ok, but you didn't answer my question." Pearl said as Steven sighed.
Steve, after a bit of thought, realized he could take advantage of this. After all, she was his mother's Pearl. If his 'mother' was going be a feckless dipshit, he was going to use all what she would not.
"Pearl, I'm going to be honest with you. I was going to pleasure myself, but…I think you can make up to me that you've watching me and help me." Steven said as Pearl had a blush on her cheeks.
"Steven, I feared the day would come when…your sexuality would develop." Pearl said with a sigh. "Garnet had remarked that it could come in the near future, but I didn't think it would. You didn't seem to have any interest still more focused on adventures and playing music."
"Pearl, I am literally surrounded by women of various shapes and size fighting monsters every day." Steven said flatly. "It's a fantasy most people would fight me for having."
Steven inched closer to Pearl.
"And besides, I see someone who my mother decided to neglect. Such a shame, but it's a mistake…I won't make." Steven said with a grin.
"Steven, I don't know…I..." Pearl stammered.
"Pearl, think about this logically. We have no idea how I'd effect a human girl, plus we don't need a pregnancy risk. You've been all on your lonesome…and I can provide the comfort you need. Everyone wins." Steven reasoned.
Pearl was a bit surprised at Steven's reach in logic as Steven pulled her in close. Pearl internally wanted what Steven was selling and wrestling with herself internally. But Steven knew Pearl's own devotion would win out any restraint. He was proven right when Pearl hungrily kissed him first. He broke it and he could see her panting. As much as he wanted to jump her, he had go slow until she was his.
"I know something simple we can start with…" Steven said gesturing in the bulge in his boxers. "Using your delicate hand on me, please."
"Steven, you look so strained." Pearl said getting him off him. "I…oh, you're well certainly virile…"
Pearl knew considering his mother and father, he would have to be packing. A decent length with a small clump of black hair above the trunks, and a pair of balls. Pearl look her hand gently rubbing it getting a moan out of Steven. Steven, however, decided for been of boldness made a move slipping off Pearl's yukata baring her lithe body to him. She was as he expected, lean with a small pair of breasts. It surprised him that she had a thin line of hair between her legs as he pegged her the type to keep it all clean. He was not going to question as he gently shoved in a pair of fingers.
"Oh, Rose…" Pearl moaned out.
A mutual moment of pleasure that led to just silence between the two aside from her heated moans. Steven was surprised that Pearl was a bit of a lightweight, though considering Rose basically making her the closest thing to a cuckquean, he was not surprised. Steven had his own his climax spraying Pearl's chest with whitish-pink sperm. Pearl shivered at the tangling her skin gave off when it hit her chest.
"I could never understand the appeal of having fluids getting on you in pleasurable, but are you all right, Steven?" Pearl asked.
"Peachy." Steven said slumping a bit. "And ready to go back to sleep."
Pearl's yukata had dissipated leaving her in just her shoes and socks.
"I'll clean this up. Go back to sleep." Pearl said rubbing his head.
Steven slipped back to sleep dreaming of plans for the future he wanted to make.
(A/N: This one was weird to write, but now I have the set up to have the Gems in all sorts of different outfits. I also won't adapt every episode. Because of 'Steven', some episodes are straight up not going to happen. As for the "harem" in question, I do a firmer grasp on it and I will it open-ended for one-offs. Anything's possible.)
