Note: This will be an AU, we're ignoring "Doug Out" onwards. With White Diamond using Earth as her entertainment, she'd ensure Earth would be left alone. I will acknowledge the Movie, however, but we're ignoring everything else.

-Welcome to the Desert-

Sand. That was all Leo could see as their ship was in the planet's atmosphere. That and giant Centipede monsters roaming around.

"Welcome to Rudeeze!" Shar said as Leo had an aside glance. "It's not that bad…our base is in a beautiful oasis."

Shar piloted the ship to the planet's center where a massive oasis surrounded by tree and greenery was where buildings lie in wait. Shar landed in one of the helipads as Leo took a look at himself in the mirror while changing clothes. He had donned a black pair of cargo pants, the biker boots that Sheena gifted him, a pair of black fingerless gloves, and a simple sleeveless and collarless white shirt baring an emblem of his: a black skull with a green x through it.

"I just hope I'm not underdressed." Leo said to himself.

"Don't be too worried, it's a desert planet." Shar said as the hatch opened up.

The two walked down as Leo looked around to see various alien species around the area going about their day. Some of them stared at Leo as he felt the eyes on him. Forget about being black, the fact that he was human was getting him self-conscious. However, Shar assured him as she led him to HQ. The Resistance headquarters was a rather tall skyscraper in the center of city with the symbol of it painted onto the side of the building.

It would be there that Leo was introduced to the grand hall where the resistance members gathered. It was there Leo met the head honcho, the Magistrata according to Shar. She was a tall and slim humanoid with cyan skin. Instead of hair, she has four short tentacles with brown spots. She has dark green lips, no nose and blue eyes. She was all dressed in a combat uniform with a long coat and boots.

"Ah, you have arrived at least. I am the Magistrata of the Resistance, Molly Gunther." Molly said with a bow.

"Wait, that name? The voice…we…" Leo said as Molly finished his sentence, "Have met before."

Molly glowed before taking on a more human appearance with pale, those same blue eyes, and brown hair.

"I can't believe it…you were my babysitter years ago…" Leo stammered. "Why…how?!"

Molly returned her regular appearance having explained that she was there performing an investigation and she was babysitting local children as a cover. She also apologized for not noticing Pink was swimming around in Sheena's head.

"It's not your fault." Leo said flatly. "But I'd like to know why I was calling."

Coming down were two tiny aliens floating down on platforms that Shar explained were Galvans, the smartest species in the universe. The first Galvan gave off a Sage appearance with his green robe and tunic. He had green eyes that screamed that he could think with the best. The second one appeared younger and Leo could feel they were of similar age. His eyes were red and so were his robe and tunic.

"I am Azmuth, one of the smartest minds in the galaxy." The older one said before gesturing to his younger associate. "And this is my assistant and son, Albedo."

"Charmed. I am Leo Mars of Earth." Leo said respectfully.

"Ok, we brought you the human you asked. At least, it's not as hideous as the last one you suggested. This one looks like it could fight." One of the Plumbers remarked.

"We brought Leo here because he is a perfect user for my new invention. I did not intend for it to be used as a weapon…but…" Azmuth said only for Albedo to cut in, "But it totally can and could turn the tide of the war in our hands!"

Azmuth sighed as he knew his son was well-meaning, but rather brash. He did respect Albedo's urge to get out to fight despite the fact they were of a tiny alien race. Azmuth pushed a button his console as a spherical metal orb floated down before opening to reveal a…watch. A large wristwatch, primarily black and grey in color, with a greyish-black dial in the middle (like a watch face) which has a green hourglass shape on it.

"A watch! You called an Earther from the backwaters of the galaxy, wasting our resources, and all of our time for a watch!" One of the Plumber cadets said irritated.

"Maybe if you sit down and be quiet, he could explain. Considering he made that loathsome, Ascalon, I think you've be wise to show some respect." Another Galvan said coming down on a floating platform.

This one was female as she turned to face Leo.

"I'm sorry for his rudeness. I'm Zennith, Albedo's mother." Zennith said kindly.

"As I was saying, this is the Omnitrix. It would promote inter-species understanding by allowing other beings to experience different ways of life." Azmuth remarked.

"It can be a repository for the DNA of over a million different sentient and sapient species, preserving them in the event that any of them should ever be rendered extinct and restore them to life." Zennith said as her platform merged with her husbands. "It will be the help we need to restore numbers and undo the damage the Diamonds have done."

"While yes, that's there. It was also meant to scan the DNA of any alien it comes in contact with." Albedo said as Leo spoke up, "While also giving me the species' abilities. Both being the universe's greatest tool to saving it and the universe's ultimate weapon."

That can people to murmur some in shock, some in horror, some in protest that they were giving it to an Earthling. Zennith and Azmuth both gave their son a dry look, but Albedo crossed his arms.

"Well, it's true." Albedo said.

"Besides, I could scan the DNA of a gem and blend into their society. Hell, even get a Diamond's DNA and give them a taste of their own medicine." Leo mused as he spoke up. "I am honored that you chose me to take on a task. I will gladly offer what I can to help."

"I like this guy, already." Albedo said with a smirk.

"By the stars, you are just as brash as my son. If not for the fact, we nearly gave this to Steven…well…" Azmuth said as Leo broke down laughing.

"You were going to give such a thing to Steven. That pussy? You do realize he's the son of your sworn enemy, a cowardly pacifist who'd rather talk than fight, and who'd probably bend the knee for the other Diamonds. That privileged sack of shit you were going to give this to." Leo said with a raised eyebrow.

"I know, but I chose you, didn't I?" Azmuth said as he knew Albedo was never going to let him live it down.

Leo accepted as the watch bonded on right wrist before its glow symbolling it's activation.

"Wait, you built Level 20 technology, and you didn't bother to warn us?!" Molly said with her eye twitching.

"It had to be kept secret for that reason." Zennith mused. "The Omnitrix has that potential and in the Diamonds' hands would be a disaster. Which is why…we had Shar get Leo after we realized Steven would not be a good pick."

"So, do I get an instruction manual?" Leo asked. "Rather not end up triggering it to self-destruct."

Albedo tossed him a folded piece of paper which, unfolded, revealed a quick guide.

"That's the quick version of it, and it details some of my modifications to it." Albedo said as both his parents eyed him warily. "Look, I wanted to give him a fighting chance. If we're going to fight the Diamonds, I want to ensure he's got something to strengthen his regular form."

"Regardless, you'll be starting with ten aliens for simplicity's sake." Azmuth explained. "You'll also get a proper team."

The door opened to reveal a dog-like goopy alien which Leo was told was a Galvanic Mechamorph, one that was more animalistic.

"Ship! Ship!" It yipped as it came down bouncing around Leo's legs.

"This is Shippo. He broke off from another Mechamorph who was sadly taken down by Gems. He will function as your secondary assistant and morale booster." Zennith mused. "And to round out your team…we have someone else."

Who arrived was…a Gem much to everyone's shock, but it was who she looked like got Leo to draw his blasters. She was the spitting image of the Rose Quartz, same skin tone, same hair color, same feel. The only obvious difference was her outfit being a dark green jumpsuit, with a lighter green Intergalactic Symbol of Peace logo on her chest. Metallic colored plating covered the base of her neck, shoulders and wrists. A belt of the same color surrounded her waist. Her eyes gave off a feeling of exhaustion.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am a Rose Quartz, but call me Scarlet. I was an original member of the Crystal Gems during the rebellion all those years ago, before I discovered Pink was playing both sides. I had attempted to rat her out, but she had me ambushed by the Diamonds trying to pin the role of being The Rose Quartz. I escaped, barely alive and damaged. I ended up in the hands of Azmuth and Zennith who nursed me back to health all those years ago. I was the reason this rebellion got wind of the truth. I understand you all despise Gemkind and I don't blame you! I want to end Gem society as much as the next person…because being revived made me realize…why it needs to be done. Besides, my "revival" was with the added component of human DNA." Scarlet said as Leo lowered his weapons getting a closer look at her.

Scarlet's hair had bits of red in it and her lips had a red tint to them.

"And where have you been?" Molly asked.

"Holed up in the lab." Scarlet said with a sigh. "My new body was going through all the tests over the years. And now I'm ready to fight!"

And thus, the Shatterpoint Squad was formed.

(A/N: This took a while. So, Steven Universe ended in the worst possible way, just like the end of the last season and Reunited. Rushed, poorly paced, and left us with nothing but questions. This ending sucked so much that I actually want to rewrite my PoP story for a time travel story. Maybe I will.)
