Ah, YouTube. The place of endless content. You've been subscribed to the likes of Mirai Yoshi and watched a recent video that announced that today would release a new series of videos details What Ifs for Steven Universe. You've partly amused and want to see it, so you go for premiere. The video starts up with the man of the hour. The half-Saiyan sat in his fancy seat with an end table of gadgets and snacks. He was in his usual wear of striped white and black scarf, a blue shirt under a black tattered trench coat with green endings, green belt with matching pants, green headphones, and dark green boots.
[Mirai's katana sat on the table as he got off taking off his trench coat to put on the coat rack before sitting back down.]
Sorry we took so long…I was watching the Tumblr riots.
[The title came up for as "Multiverse Beyond the Stars: Safe Haven AU (part 2)" and returned to Mirai. "The Boondocks type instrumental - Soul Child - – Neo Soul Instrumental" softly began to play in the background.]
Let's recap. Earth is going under a bit of a tech boon, the Diamonds think they can just continue their business, and Blue Zircon lives.
Now, it's the modern day and Earth had changed a bit. Thanks to exposure to Gem technology, space travel is more commonplace to where Earth can move to colonize Mars and the Moon. So, yes, the Human Zoo does exist in the form of an actual hippie colony. By now would be the start of the canon show. And yes, Pink still meets Greg and their relationship forms Steven. Now because Pink has had time on Earth working on a peace accord, her scientists has made advancements that can assure Gem Hybrids can be born without harming the Gem. Thus, Steven is not the only half-Gem running around. Steven essentially grows up slightly more normal. For one, he does go to a normal school and would meet Connie much sooner. Everything changed when another country botches things up for everyone. *cough* China *cough*. Corrupted Gems had to come from somewhere!
Now we cut out to Blue and Yellow, who have seen better days. Blue Zicron has become their universe's "Rose Quartz" leading a rebellion. Now you are thinking and asking me, how does Blue Zicron managed to rebel against the Diamonds? Simple, she teamed up with aliens of other races, those that were pushed around by the Diamonds. This rebellion was planning attacks over the decades before finally starting in recent years. Despite more Gems slowly siding the Rogue Zicron, Blue and Yellow Diamond refuse to acknowledge anything is wrong. Their persistence to deny anything is wrong has only delayed the inevitable.

The Diamonds are caught off-guard as a mutiny of the Diamond's own guards turn on the loyalists. It's a vicious fight, but the Diamonds are not aware of it just yet. Yellow is in her sauna room, and Blue is off having an emo fit. It isn't until their Pearls come running singed from laser fire telling them they were under attack. They would come out a real shit show horrified to see several of their own turning on them.
They scramble to a war room to ask for a status report to see several of their soldiers were using this to their advantage to escape. The Ruby Squad were still steadfast and fighting to help their Diamonds. They had asked for a status, and the lead Ruby had told them that it was a mutiny and Blue's personal Sapphire and Ruby had turned for the rebellion. Yes, Garnet had been hiding among the Diamond Authority as a spy for some time now.
"Listen, my Diamonds. You need to get out of here. They're going to most likely cut the power or worse, try to blow up the place!" (Doc) Ruby states.
They were being told to retreat. Yellow did not want to do that…that is until (Leggy) Ruby tells her that they have the means to shatter Gems via a new weapon before getting shot with said weapon. Seeing that Ruby destabilize before she broke into pieces was the wakeup call for the Diamonds.
"Maybe we should leave…the empire needs us alive after all!" Yellow said trying to justify fleeing.
Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond, and their Pearls manage to escape, but they are forced to use a small battle cruiser when they are cut off from their hand ships. As they leave the colony, they could only watch it fall as Blue Zircon declared it theirs. Far into space, they were planning their next move. In a rare moment of weakness, Blue Diamond asks Blue Pearl for advice.
"Pink Diamond could offer us protection." Blue Pearl said.
Yellow did not want to admit it, but they had no choice. Setting the course, they took off for Earth unaware of that several of theirs had already opted for safe haven as well. Though, the Diamonds fleeing that colony was a blessing in disguise as an old enemy had set sights on it.
And that's where we'll end things for now, how will the Diamonds adjust to Earth? Find out next time!
A/N: I want to thank Gattling Golduck of YouTube fame for getting me back into the writing groove for this dumpster fire of a show. These what ifs are fun, but I think this is the only one I'll do in this style if I do another.
