Steven universe: heroes of remnant
Chapter 3 baseball team Rwby vs rubies ?
Confusing is it Rwby vs Rubies. Anyway I hope you like the last two chapters because that is just the beginning. Steven had to convince team Rwby and Lapis to protect Peridot by going against the rubies squad. By doing one thing that expect them to do playing baseball. So let begin
"Ruby?" Steven began. Non-gem Ruby quickly covered his mouth and the she motioned her head to the barn. They all made their way there without alerting the Ruby that had exited the ship.
Eyeball Ruby's feet met the surface of Earth for the first time with her feet, she let out a single growl and walks away. Following her out of the ship was a second Ruby, only her gemstone was on her left arm. She made a couple of fighting poses before coming across a flower; she picked it up, only to kick it away with an excited sounding. "Hi-ya!" she then cartwheeled and followed the Ruby before her.
The next Ruby to pop out had her gemstone where her navel would be, and her outfit was designed around that. She had an excited look on her face as she exited the space craft. "What a lovely planet!" she commented before walking away with her arms stretched out to the sides.
A fourth Ruby stuck her head out of the craft, seemingly looking nervous. "Wait! So we just… get out and walk around? Whoa-!" She was pushed out of the ship by the last Ruby which wore shoulder straps and pants for her outfit; she had a yellow visor and a gemstone on her chest. She began to look around whilst behind her. Arm Ruby was kicking a twig. The Ruby that was pushed out had a gemstone on her left thigh.
"Now, where's the Gem the scanners locked on to?" she continued to look around the plains in search for the Gem. "Let's fan out and search the area!" All of the Rubies exited the ship and they each looked like they were doing their own thing.
Army was performing fighting poses, as if she was on guard, Leggy remained on the ground after the lead Ruby pushed her. Navel Ruby was drawing in the ground while Eyeball Ruby simply looked mad and irritated.
Back at the barn, Steven, Ruby and Yang were peeking out from the barn. "Whoa, look at 'em all!" Steven said in astonishment.
"So Steven, you know who those guys are?" Ruby asked.
They drew their heads back into the barn to avoid being seen. "Well, not personally…"
"They mentioned they are looking for a Gem." Blake said. "That would mean-"
Peridot panicked and planted her hands on Steven's head. "I knew it! They're after me!" she exclaimed. "This is the end of the line!"
"You really weren't kidding." Lapis remarked, not buying Peridot's story of her being wanted.
"But why would they come all this way… well for you?" Weiss asked, though it sounded a more insulting than she meant it to. "You're not exactly… worth it…"
Peridot pointed at her. "That's where you're wrong! I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod… to her face."
"And this Yellow Diamond is?" Yang questioned.
"Oh, she's a gem that hates Earth and wants it destroyed." Steven simply said.
"And you called her a clod? Is that some kind of insult?" Yang asked.
Peridot frustratingly put her fingers through her hair. "Yes! Of course it is, you clod! Yellow Diamond has command over all the armies of Homeworld!" Peridot slid over to a box of baseball bats, mits and balls and she lifted the box over herself. "And those armies are waiting for the word to shatter me!" She hid under the box and was shivering from inside.
Steven walked over and lifted the box. "Peridot, we won't let them get you."
"But haven't I caused you enough trouble?" she muttered while curled up with her legs hugging her chest.
"Oh definitely." Lapis remarked.
"Well don't worry… We'll keep you safe." Steven said.
Yang looked out. "Five of them, we have six if we add Lapis and Steven-"
"What about me?" Peridot asked.
"You're a liability at best.
"Hey!"
"But they don't look so tough… I say we take them on!" Yang said punching her fist into her open hand.
"True, but who knows what weird Gem stuff they can do." Weiss said. "Plus if it is that Yellow Diamond, she'll probably send stronger backup if she doesn't hear from them." Peridot let out a terrified gulp when Weiss mentioned stronger backup could be on the way.
"I hate it when you're right?"
"Well I take it they aren't very familiar with Earth, maybe we can use that." Blake said.
Steven had an idea. "I got it, maybe we can reason with them. Ruby I need you to come with me, but you probably should leave that behind." He said pointing to Ruby's weapon.
She huffed and she gently put crescent rose on the ground. "I'll be back, my baby."
"Your what?" Lapis questioned.
"Just go with it, she's… really attached to her scythe." Blake said.
Steven and Ruby left the barn to talk to the Rubies.
"You think this will work?" Weiss asked.
Yang shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows, but if worse comes to worst we'll end up fighting them. If we can't beat them, then we'll just hand over Peridot!" she heard a terrified gasp from Peridot. "Just hide in your box and you'll be fine." Peridot hid under the box again and she was shivering from inside it.
"You're enjoying this too much Yang." Weiss said.
"What, if we are going to be stranded on a strange planet in the middle of nowhere, I am at least going to have some fun with it."
…
Ruby and Steven were slowly approaching the Rubies who stood around the Roaming Eye, the leader stood on top of the ship. "Focus, Rubies! This is an important mission from Yellow Diamond, so we can't mess it up." She said.
Leggy confusedly looked at her from the ground. "Huh, what mission?" she asked.
"Yeah, what mission." They were confused when they heard a chipper voice ask and they looked over to Ruby and Steven.
"Intruders!" Army yelled as she walked towards them
"No wait!" Steven exclaimed. "We're not intruders, hehe, we're just humans… and this is the place that humans live…"
"That's right!" Ruby said cutting in. "Definitely no Gems here…" she mentally face-palmed at her slip up and hoped that the Rubies would buy her story.
"Just humans?" Their leader asked. "Then what are your names?"
"Uh I'm Steven."
"And I'm Ru-" Ruby covered her mouth as she figured they would find it suspicious that her name was Ruby, just like them, and she certainly didn't want to start the whole 'You don't look like a Ruby' conversation. "Um… just Rose…Do you have names."
"Of course, we are all Ruby!" their leader said.
"But how will we be able to tell you apart." Steven said. "I know we'll call you names bases on where your gems are." Steven pointed to them as he named them. "How about, Leggy, Army, Navy, Eyeball and uh… Doc."
"Doc?" Ruby questioned.
"It just came to me." Steven replied.
"Your naming methods are stupid!" Doc said. "But perhaps you humans can help us, we are looking for a certain gem. The leader of the Earth mission, have you seen her?"
"Nope." Ruby simply said. "I definitely haven't seen her at all." She looked back to the barn for a second.
"What are you looking at?" Eyeball asked.
"N-nothing…" she looked behind Ruby and she saw the barn.
"What about that Earth containment area."
Steven then knew she referred to the barn. "Oh you mean the barn, there isn't anything there… it's just full of human stuff."
Doc looked to the barn. "Whoa, I didn't see that before. Maybe we should look around in there."
Ruby was sweating slightly. "Uh, we'll check it for you! Don't move." She and Steven ran back to the barn.
"Ba-Byee!" Navy said.
…
Steven and Ruby returned to the barn. "They want to search the barn!" Steven said in a panicked tone.
"We heard." Blake said.
"We saw." Weiss added.
"I'm so scared!" Peridot said from within her box.
Yang brought up her plan again. "Like I said, we can take them on."
I "No, we don't need to fight them." Ruby said. "We just have to find a way to get them off Earth, and make sure they won't come back."
"And how will we do that, just tell them Peridot isn't here?" Weiss asked.
"well there that or" Steven look around and saw baseball gear.
Then Steven came up the idea heroes ran up to the box and took the bat out "be right back, come on Ruby." Said Steven as the two races back to the Rubies
Doc look at the them with suspicion as she eyes the bat. "sorry they no one there. But what if we play baseball." The gems look at each other with confusion and Ruby was also confused about this she went to Steven and whisper "what are you doing and what is baseball" Steven whisper to her back "don't worry I got an idea." "anyway if you win you could check the barn, but if we win, you got to leave forever.
Doc cupped her hand around her chin baseball.
…
"BASEBALL" said everybody in the barn "uh yeah" Ruby shutter "how come you didn't say she isn't here instead of challenging them to a stupid game" Weiss exaggerated "because it wouldn't do any good if we lied they just get suspicious" Steven said "plus it might the only way to get the Rubies off the planet.
"ok still we don't know about baseball and how to play it". Said Blake "wait you guys sent have baseball where your from." "no we don't all we have are tournaments and stuff but baseball." Said Blake, Steven then took a moment to think about it then come up with an idea "Ok what if I show you guys and the Rubies about baseball that way it even things out." Said Steven Yang, Blake and Weiss look at each "Ok we in." said Yang, "well it better than nothing" Blake shrug , they all look at Weiss who took a moment then sigh "fine I'll do it but just so you know this is still a stupid idea." Then Steven look at Lapis who giggle a bit "this plan sucks" she jokes
Later
-A-
Outside in the field, Steven and Team RWBY stood while they were lined up. They each were wearing blue and white themed baseball clothes, Ruby had a blue baseball cap while she kept her red hooded cape, Blake and Yang were wearing white shirts with blue shorts and Weiss' outfit had a skirt and was wearing heeled boots.
They were facing the Rubies who also lined up to face them. "Ok we're the humans! Steven!" Steven exclaimed as he introduced himself.
Ruby was next to introduce herself, "Rose!" she yelled in a similarly excited manner.
"Weiss." Half-heartedly said Weiss.
"Blake." Blake introduced herself in a nonchalant manner.
"And Yang!" Yang cheerily introduced herself with a wink while she held a baseball bat over her shoulder.
The Rubies watched their introduction and then they introduced themselves in a similar way.
Doc looked at them while she had her fists on her hips. "Understood. Our team is the Rubies! Consisting of… Ruby!" she introduced herself with a serious face while she and the rest of her teammates took a similar stance.
"Ruby!" Navy said in a calm manner.
"Ruby!" Army said with a quick tone .
"Ruby!" Eyeball said while she looked focused but oddly furious.
"And Ruby!" Leggy said while she looked confused and her cheek was puffed.
Steven stood in between the two teams. "Ok here are the rules of the game. We take turns throwing the ball at each other. The batter tries to hit the ball with the bat, and then they run around the bases. Whoever gets the most runs wins!"
"Sounds easy!" Yang said.
The game was starting and Navy was batting for the Rubies. Yang was the pitcher and Steven was the catcher. Ruby stood at first base, Blake at second and Weiss was in third base.
"Right, you get three tries to hit the ball." Steven said.
Yang was chewing gum and she popped a bubble before she threw the ball as hard as she could and it sped right past Navy before she could prepare to hit it. "Strike one!" Steven said after he caught the ball.
"What!?" Army yelled.
Yang smirked as she looked to Navy. "Ha, I knew this would be easy!" She threw the ball again and Navy missed her swing and Steven caught the ball once again.
"Strike two!"
Yang tossed the ball and Navy missed again.
"Strike three. Three strikes means you're out!" Steven said.
"Aw man…"
Army then punched Navy in the back. "You swung too slow!" she took the bat away from her. "Do it like this!" she glared at Yang. The blonde chucked the ball right to Army, the Ruby hit the ball so hard that it flew across the fields.
"And that's what we call a home run…" Steven said.
Yang glared at Army. "Alright, you got lucky…" she threw the ball again and when Army struck the ball is flew over towards Blake. "All yours kitty!"
Blake huffed at Yang's nickname before she quickly made a shadow clone and leaped on the shoulders to raise the height of her jump. She managed to catch the ball. Doc saw this and began to think.
"If the ball gets caught, you're out!" Army angrily threw her bat onto the ground.
"Blake, why did you use your semblance?" Ruby whispered.
"Why hold back? I just want to get this done and over with."
Ruby smirked. "Then that gives me an idea."
Leggy had managed to hit the ball as Steven continued to narrate the rules. Ruby jumped and caught the ball after it bounced, she threw it to Weiss "…And if you get tagged…" Weiss tagged Eyeball before she could reach the base. "…You're out!" Eyeball glared at Weiss while letting out a slight growl. Weiss slightly backed away. "And after three outs we switch sides!"
The four Rubies were at the bases while Ruby stood to bat. Leggy stood behind her at the catcher. "Right… hit me!"
Doc who was at the pitch had thrown the ball and Ruby slightly tapped it with her bat. She dropped her bat and she disappeared into rose petals and ran around all four bases. She got to home plate and Leggy was shocked. Doc suspiciously looked at her.
"Nice!" Yang said.
"Wow! That short human is really good!" Leggy said.
"Haha. Us humans, we're full of surprises." Steven said as he pushed Ruby off home plate. "Ruby be careful, we don't need them suspecting us. Just make your powers… less obvious…"
"Less obvious, got it!" Weiss stepped up to bat. "Sure you can handle this Weiss?"
"Can I handle this?" Weiss repeated in a mock tone. "I am a Schnee, a huntress in training and heiress to the Schnee Dust Corporation. I think I can handle something as simple as hitting a ball with a ba-
"Strike one!" Doc said as Weiss completely had missed her chance to hit the ball.
"Okay a minor setback, next time I will-" Doc had thrown the ball again and Weiss swung but she missed and Leggy caught the ball again.
"Strike two!"
Yang facepalmed. "Ugh c'mon Weiss, focus!"
Weiss took a deep breath. "Okay… I'm ready." She took a deep breath. Doc threw the ball and Weiss swung as hard as she could. Her bat made contact with thin air as the ball had hit Leggy's catcher's mitt and it was smoking.
"Strike THREE!" Doc yelled.
"Ugh, how can you people think this game is fun!?" she exclaimed.
…
Eyeball stood at the pitch and looked focused. She glared at Yang and tightened the grip on her bat. Yang chucked the ball at her and Eyeball managed to hit it. It flew in the air while the Rubies ran across the bases.
Weiss saw that Blake was closest to where the ball was heading. So she created a glyph that Blake jumped off of. Blake caught the ball and threw it back to Ruby who caught it, though she was about to tap the ball on Eyeball but she was already standing at the base. She tossed it back to Yang and when the blonde caught it she eyed Army who stood ready to hit the ball.
Army looked confident, when Yang threw it. Army hit it with all her strength, so much so that the bat split in two and flew off for another home run for the Rubies. The Rubies gather around Army in excitement and Army was flexing her muscles while she screamed. "YEAHH!"
Steven chuckled. "Hehe, you guys stay here. I'm going to get another bat." He ran over to the barn where Peridot was hiding behind the door. Lapis was standing by the wall with her arms folded.
"Hey, how's it going? Are we winning?" she asked.
"Ummm…" he looked out to see Ruby happily talking to Navy, and Weiss was complaining to Yang. Eyeball looked back at Steven with a glare. "Well, haha… We're doing just fine. Everything's gonna be A-Okay."
"You're lying to me!" Peridot said.
Lapis chuckled slightly. "I'm kind of surprised you didn't buy that. So Steven, what do we do if this plan doesn't work?" Steven scratched his head.
Steven started to walk out of the barn. "Don't worry we'll win." He said with a nervous tone.
"You're still lying!" Peridot said.
"To make you feel better!"
"Thank you!" she exclaimed.
He got back to his team and he pulled them into a huddle. "Alright, listen guys. You guys can't use your powers or the Rubies will get suspisious… Eyeball was giving me a lot of looks earlier. They all looked to the Rubies and Eyeball turned to them and her eye was glaring at them.
"Steven, we're new at this, and with their Gem strength, they can hit home runs a lot easier than we can." Blake said.
"Yeah, it's the only way to even the playing field." Ruby added.
"I know, but let's just play… normally for now."
…
The game continued and Ruby was stepping up to bat. After she hit the ball she ran to first base. Soon Weiss was up next and Doc who was pitching had smirked. She tossed it towards her. Weiss had managed position the bat in front of the ball. The ball bounced off it and she ran to first while Ruby had run to second. All the Rubies rushed towards home plate and they dived on top of the ball.
Blake was nearly struck out, but on the third pitch she had managed to hit the ball. However it crashed right into Navy's chest before she slid back in the dirt. She triumphantly lifted the ball up. "Haha, I caught it!" Blake had a bored unimpressed look on her face.
After Yang hit the ball on the next pitch, Ruby was tempted to use her semblance to get to home plate. Steven saw this and slowly shook his head. Ruby ran and she had jumped to slide home but Leggy had held the ball in front of her face and booped it on her nose. "You're out… I think?"
…
The game went on in a similar manner with the Rubies having an easier time at the game. Yang was really the only one who could hit a home run for them, but they were still behind.
When the Rubies were up to bat Blake was throwing the pitch and she had thrown a curveball that caught out Army and she had managed to strike her out. Blake gave a sly smirk while Army snapped her bat in half after slamming it on her knee.
A high ball was seen and Ruby was under it. She fumbled for it before she clumsily dropped it. "Sorry."
…
Later, the scoreboard showed that the Rubies had 7 runs while the Humans had 6. Steven, Yang, Weiss were huddled up. "Alright, it's the bottom of the ninth. We've got Ruby on second, but one more out and the game's over for us…"
"And Weiss is going to bat…" Yang said.
"Hey!"
"Look we all have things we are good at, aannnnd Baseball isn't one of the things you're good at." Yang said.
"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence…" Weiss sarcastically said.
"Don't listen to her." Steven said. "Listen, we need a home run to stand a chance at winning, or the Rubies will win and fine Peridot."
"So no pressure…" she said as she held her bat over her shoulder.
"Come on… you can do it! Just remember to keep your weisss on the ball." He said pointing to his right eye. "Huh, huh?"
Weiss was unimpressed and her eyes turned to the one person who would have told him that. Her eyes turned to Yang. "If we lose, I hope the Rubies come after you first." She walked onto the plate and Doc was throwing the pitch.
Army smirked and said: "Easy out!" After saying this She, Navy and Eyeball stepped closer to more easily retrieve the ball if she hit it.
Weiss glared at Doc and she threw the ball. Before she could swing the ball missed and Leggy caught it.
"Strike one!" Doc yelled.
"What is she doing?" Yang whispered.
"Just trust her Yang." Steven said.
Weiss closed her eyes and this action caused her to miss the second pitch.
"Strike two!"
"C'mon Weiss…" Ruby muttered.
Peridot nervously looked out of the barn and Lapis watched her worried expression
Weiss opened her eyes and she glared at Doc. A large glyph formed below her feet and Leggy was confused because she felt a chilling cold going through her. Weiss held her bat and was prepared to swing her bat.
Doc right hand was covered in flames and she yelled as she pulled her arm back. With a battle cry she threw the flaming ball towards Weiss. Suddenly a black glyph formed behind Weiss and she smirked as she knew where the ball was going to. She swung the bat and she managed to strike the ball. When the black glyph turned white, she reversed the momentum of the ball and swung her bat while ice crystals formed the edge of her glyph. When she swung her bat the ball had rocketed into the sky, leaving a smoke trail as it sped off while giving the humans their home run.
Weiss ran and Blake managed to get to home plate giving them the win.
Knowing they lost, Army threw her mitt on the ground in anger.
Steven, Yang and Ruby celebrated together and Eyeball had glared angrily at them.
"YESS!" they all saw Peridot running out of the barn. "You Guys did it!"
"Wait a second…" Doc said. She turned to Steven, Ruby and Yang. "I thought you said there were no Gems here!"
Steven chuckled. "Oh uh hehe… about that…"
Peridot panicked and she placed her hand over her gemstone. "Oh uh… I'm not a Gem… I'm a human, just like them…"
"There were Gems here the whole time!?" Doc angrily yelled.
"We've been tricked!" Army exclaimed while clenching her fists.
"What a turn of events." Navy said putting her arms beside her head in shock
Eyeball only growled. While Leggy who wasn't paying attention turned around to try and figure out the situation that confused her. "Huh? W-what?" she said with question marks floating above her head.
The 'humans' Peridot and Lapis came together. "Looks like the jig is up." Lapis said.
Doc angrily looked at them. "THAT'S IT!" all the Rubies had joined together. "RUBIES… COMBINE!" Navy, Doc and Army had leaped on top of Leggy who was struggling to hold their combined weight. Navy and Army stretched out while Doc held their hands and Eyeball had stood on top of her head. A bright light had covered them and their bodies fused together into one very large Ruby that had stood over them with five Ruby gemstones on her left eyeball, chest, naval, left arm, and left thigh.
Fused Ruby roared and glared at them. "Well it turns out we're fighting them anyway."
"Wait, we can still talk to them." Ruby said.
"I don't think that's an option anymore." Blake added.
"STOP!" Peridot yelled as she stood in front of everyone and faced Fused Ruby. "Don't hurt them! It's me you're after right? I'm not gonna stand by and let my friends fight my battles!"
Steven felt touched. "Aww, Peri loves us!"
"Let's hope she's alive for us to thank her." Yang said.
Fusion Ruby looked down at her. "Are you the Peridot assigned to the failed Earth mission?"
"Not sure if failed would be the right word to-"
"Where is Jasper!?"
"Wait, you don't want Peridot?" Blake asked.
"Correct. Jasper was the leader of the Earth mission, now where is she!?"
"Wait," Peridot started. "But I'm the one who betrayed the mission, who called Yellow Diamond a clod, the new leader of the Crystal Gems?"
"You? Leader?" Weiss questioned.
"Tell us where Jasper is NOW!?"
Peridot started to stutter. "Jasper-umm, we know where Jasper is." She looked to Ruby and Steven and they both shook her head.
"WELL?!"
Ruby sighed and stepped forward. "Well we kinda lost her after she-"
"NEPTUNE!" Steven yelled before stepping in front of Ruby. "She's on the planet Neptune." He said pointing into the sky
Everyone went silent and Weiss even face-palmed at Steven's obvious lie. They waited for the Rubies response. "Well, why didn't you say so?" she said as she shrugged her shoulders.
The fused Ruby unfused and they stood in a line together, accept Leggy, she was sitting. Doc started to do a headcount. "We all here? One, two, three, four and… ha!" she laughed after she pointed to herself. "Five! To the planet Neptune!"
"Let's move out, soldiers!"
They started walking back to their ship. "What a lovely-sounding planet." Navy said.
Leggy though had little idea what was going on. "But we just… got here." Doc was dragging her to the ship.
"Let's go, newbie!"
Eyeball gave a stare to both Steven and Ruby. "Thank you…" she said in a strained voice. She was the last to enter the ship and she continued to stare at them until she lowered her head and the hatch of the Ruby ship had closed.
She ship started to hover up and the gang looked right at it as it suddenly bended the light around it and it warped into a bright glint that shone in the sky.
They all silently looked to the sky. "Um… what just happened?" Weiss asked.
"I'm surprised they bought that." Yang said.
"I just realized something… We could have used that ship to get back home." Ruby said. Weiss and Yang glared at her because she didn't say this sooner. "Sorry…"
Okay next time will be even more exciting than this one also you might be surprised what may do with team Rwby who knows they might learn something about that surprised them. Anyway sorry for the hold up I got several things to do. So enjoy this while you can ok thank you.
