Disclaimer: I do not own Steven Universe.
Steven slowly opened his eyes to see that it was in the morning. Birds were chirping and the sun was shining. Maybe today would be a good day.
Steven soon got up and was starting to get ready for the day. Once he was done, he heard the temple door open. Once he looked at the door, he saw Amethyst.
"Oh, hey Steven. You're up already?" Amethyst asked, a little surprised that Steven hadn't slept in like he usually did.
"Yeah. I kinda went to bed a little earlier then I usually do." Steven explained.
"Well anyways, I think we should finish our training now. Can we?"
"Sure, why not?"
Both than went outside, keeping there distance away from the house so they wouldn't damage it too bad.
Steven soon felt that eerie breeze pass over him. Something felt off once again. Steven couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary however, so he just shrugged it off.
Steven soon charged at Amethyst at full speed, raising his hand and turning it into a fist.
Steven threw his fist at her, only for it to be blocked by her hand. Amethyst than kicked Steven in the stomach, sending him flying and soon hitting the ground.
Steven quickly got up and summoned his shield. He then threw it at her with all the strength he had.
Amethyst saw the shield coming and soon deflected it. While that happened, Steven took the opportunity to attack. Before Amethyst could react, she was soon punched in the stomach. Amethyst grunted as she clutched her stomach, only to get punched in the face as well.
The punch sent her tumbling back as she fell onto the floor. After she recovered from her blows, she summoned a whip and latched it on Steven's foot.
"Ugh!" Steven exclaimed as Amethyst started twirling the whip and along with him, around.
She kept twirling so fast that Steven was about to get sick until she suddenly let go of the whip, launching Steven directly into the air.
Steven soon hit the sand with immense force. Steven coughed as he slowly got up, trying to recuperate.
But before he could do that, Amethyst charged at him once again, this time kicking him in the face, sending him back to the ground.
Steven grunted in pain as he clutched his face. Amethyst looked at him, a little worried.
"You know, we can always stop if you want. I mean, you're still kinda weak compared to me, no offense." Amethyst stated. However, Steven took it the wrong way.
"Weak? DID SHE JUST CALL ME WEAK!? I'LL CRUSH HER GEM INTO A MILLION PIECES FOR THAT!" Steven soon got up calmly.
Amethyst sensed something was off about him.
Suddenly, Amethyst was punched in the face by none other than Steven. The punch sent Amethyst flying towards the ground. Once she hit the ground, she grunted.
Steven rushed to the front of Amethyst and grabbed her by the hair. He then kneed her in the head, hard. Steven then charged up his gem. Pink electricity showered the gem as a light pink beam headed straight for Amethyst. The blast sent Amethyst crashing into the ground, but Steven wasn't about to stop there as he jumped up into the air and brutally kneed Amethyst in the stomach.
All of those attacks had been full force, no mercy whatsoever. Amethyst now lay there, about to poof any second now.
"Who's the weak one now? Hmph. Worthless piece of trash." Steven coldly spoke, smirking in the process.
Steven walked up to her and put his foot on her head, as if he were about to crush it.
"What a failure you are. Tell me, should I crush you're head in right now, or blast you into oblivion? Ether way you're gonna get poofed and when that happens, I will crush you're gem into a million pieces." Steven threatened as Amethyst grunted while trying to find the strength to get up. But unfortunately, she was paralyzed.
"You know what? I think I might as well blast you, seeing as how crushing you're head seems a lot less painful, and we wouldn't want that, would we now?" Steven chuckled as he took his foot off of Amethyst and started charging up his gem once again. He was almost ready to fire until he heard a voice.
"Steven, stop it! Don't do it!" Steven's eyes widened at the sound of hearing his Mother's loving voice. But it was too late as the beam of energy was already heading straight for Amethyst.
Pearl sat on the couch with the TV on, though she wasn't watching it. Her mind kept drifting to Steven and Amethyst.
That was it. She had to go apologize to them sooner or later, but she just didn't have the courage to do so. Why? Was it because what she said to both of them was true? She didn't even want to believe that, but for some reason it felt plausible. But, when she does have the courage to apologize, what will she do then-
A big explosion could be heard outside the house as it shook it entirely. Pearl jumped up, a little frightened.
Soon, Garnet rushed out of her room as quick as she could.
"Come on Pearl! Amethyst and Steven were training out there!" Garnet exclaimed as she opened the door to see what was happening. Pearl soon followed.
Once they opened the door they saw Amethyst's gem on the ground, it appeared she had been poofed, but by who?
"Amethyst!" Cried Garnet as she and Pearl ran up to her gem. "What happened here?"
Looking forward, she noticed Steven a good distance away. His shirt was slightly ripped around his shoulder, he had a few scratches on his hands and face along with a few cuts that had blood coming out of them. The young boy was out of breath as he looked at his hands while trembling.
"D-did I do this? Did I actually manage to poof Amethyst? B-but, I thought I was in control the whole time..." He then put his hands down and looked at Amethyst.
"Steven?..." Said Garnet quietly as she stood up. She didn't know what to think of the situation. Steven would never hurt a friend like that, unless...
"I-I'm sorry Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst. But especially you Mom..." Steven whispered, barely audible for the others to hear. Turning around, Steven soon took off towards Beach City. He was scared of what his friends would say and think. He was also scared that he might cause even more damage, so he thought it was better for him to just leave.
"Steven wait!" Pearl yelled as Steven disappeared into the distance. "Pearl, I think you should I go after him. Don't worry about Amethyst, I've got her. Besides, you owe it to Steven after the things you said to him." Garnet stated.
Understanding, Pearl sighed and nodded her head. She then took off after the boy.
