Tatooine, one month before Spinel came to Earth

Blaze could only wonder, how the hell did she even get into this mess. She had landed at the airport after returning to Delmarva from Alaska and was driving back to Beach City when her Camaro drove on something which caused it to skid off the road and run into a tree knocking her out. Now she woke up with a bag on her head and the feeling of her hands cuffed and legs tied together as well as multiple hands carrying her.

Now she has to figure out where the hell she got taken too, escape, call the cops, and call the Crystal Gems.

"Put her down here!" a voice ordered

Blaze was roughly put down on the sand below.

Wait, sand? I don't even hear ocean waves crashing. Where am I? Blaze thought to herself

If she wasn't on the coast and there is sand this could mean only one thing, she was taken to a desert.

As soon as the bag was removed, Blaze was face to face with Eyeball Ruby with a smug look on her face.

"Well, well! Look who woke up," said Eyeball

Blaze looked around the environment and noticed that the sky above the desert has three moons and realized she was taken off planet. Several more Gems alongside Aquamarine were burying her car in a sand dune.

"There are three moons in the sky above us and we are in a desert! Where the fucking hell did you all take me?!"

"Looks like Steven Universe's little Force-User friend has woken up." A Rose Quartz with red markings on her skin and hair walked towards her with a menacing grin on her face

The other Gems are a Bloodstone, Cobalt, Serpentine, Fire Agate, Lepidolite, and a Rutile Quartz. All of them including Aquamarine moved right beside the Rose Quartz.

"You might as well call me, Blood Rose," said the Rose Quartz

"Alright, what is going on and where did you take me?!"

"Well should we tell her? She is going to die here after all so we might as well. Aquamarine asked

"Very well. Like many Rose Quartzes, I was created on Earth, and I dutifully fought for Homeworld until the Diamonds bubbled me, when Pink Diamond faked her own shattering!" Blood Rose took a deep breath and clenched her fist that was shaking in anger at the memory

"When me and my fellow Rose Quartzes were unbubbled I learned the truth and the existence of Pink Diamond's little hybrid spawn Steven!" The mention of his name was laced in venom at the sound of Blood Rose's voice

"When he dismantled the caste system, some of us liked our old jobs and positions!" Fire Agate exclaimed

"So, we have formed a movement, a Hard Stone Collective if you will, to get even with Universe for dismantling our society and the Diamonds for allowing it to happen. We will also destroy the Crystal Gems and Earth once and for all," said Blood Rose

"What does that have to do with me though?" asked Blaze

"One you are a human member of the Crystal Gems, and two don't even think I haven't forgotten about your roaring rampage of revenge stunt on Homeworld two years ago! You shattered and killed my squad mates!" Eyeball screamed

"And you tortured me so I can give you the location of Steven and the Diamonds!" Aquamarine shouted

Blaze remembered what they were talking about. Blaze and Steven have a pretty close bond to where she viewed Steven as a younger brother after her own brother died. Because of the death of her brother, Blaze did not want to lose a sibling figure. When Aquamarine and Topaz kidnapped Steven and Lars as well as her two friends Daisy and Manny, she attempted to stop the ship from leaving. When she was unable to stop it, she let out a Force scream so loud that all of Beach City and anyone within a ten-mile radius heard it. While Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl as well as Greg and Connie were shocked and sad about what happened, Blaze gave in to her rage and hate and swore revenge on Aquamarine, Topaz, and the Diamonds. She wanted to rescue Steven and watch Homeworld burn.

Blaze, with help from Bismuth, Jasper, Lord Scourge before his death and Helix, her mother's robot repaired the Homeworld warp pad at the Galaxy Warp without the knowledge of the rest of the Crystal Gems and Blaze, Helix, and Scourge made it to Homeworld. Blaze instructed Jasper and Bismuth to stay behind and wire the Homeworld warp pad with explosives so that once they come back to Earth with Steven, Lars, Manny, and Daisy, they were to destroy the warp pad so Homeworld forces can't get to Earth. Blaze not only wanted to save her friends, but to send the Homeworld Gems and the Diamonds a message: don't fuck with Earth. Blaze had also learned that day, depending on where a Gem's gemstone is, they are just target practice for a human with a Winchester rifle, a .44 magnum, and a 12 gauge that uses Dragon's breath rounds. Especially if that human is Force-sensitive. Many Gems got either poofed or shattered before they could even lay a hand on Blaze. Helix hacked into Homeworld's space turrets and turned them on the planet, destroying forty-five percent of Homeworld's military infrastructure and causing a planet wide power outage. Blaze, Helix, and Scourge split up. Scourge and Helix went to find Topaz, while Blaze went to find Aquamarine. She shot any Gem that tried to stop her.

When Blaze found Aquamarine, she tried to fly away from her, but Blaze used the Force to stop her from escaping. A squad of five rubies came to her defense. Eyeball jumped on Blaze and stabbed her in the shoulder, but she threw the Ruby off of her and down a cliff. The other four tried to stop her, but she shattered and killed them. When Aquamarine tried to escape again, Blaze jumped on top of her, and they rolled around on the ground. In the scuffle Blaze took Aquamarine's wand and destroyed it. After pinning her down Blaze started torturing Aquamarine with Force Lightning in an attempt to find the location of Steven, her friends, and the Diamonds. Scourge contacted Blaze via comlink and told her that Topaz told him where Steven, Lars, Manny, and Daisy as well as the Diamonds are. Blaze was relieved now that they know where they are, but she is still angry at Aquamarine for what she had done. In what felt like hours for Blaze, but actually lasted for five minutes, Blaze proceeded to beat the crap out of Aquamarine, electrocuted her again with Force lightning, and bashed her against some debris over and over again until she poofed with her gemstone badly damaged. Then she angrily picked up Aquamarine's gemstone and threw it into some flaming rubble where Eyeball climbed up and found her.

Blaze had managed to find Steven, Lars, Manny, and Daisy. After a brief struggle with Blue and Yellow Diamond, meeting the Off Colors, and regrouping with Scourge and Helix, they managed to bring Steven, Manny, and Daisy back to Earth. Lars chose to stay behind with the Off Colors and find their own way back to Earth due to not having enough room in Blaze's car. Blaze did not regret getting her friends out of there, what she did regret though is having so many shards of Gems on her hands and the devastation she caused in her wake. Many innocent Gems were caught in the crossfire. The haunting part about all of that is the Amethysts she shattered share the same voice as the one she knows, the Rubies she shattered share the voice as the one fused with Sapphire to make Garnet. The Peridots, the Pearls, the Lapis Lazulis, the Jaspers, the Bismuths, all of them share the same voice as the ones she knew. She could never get the screams out of her head and the images of their faces twisted with fear. She even got nightmares about pulling a Kratos and killing the Crystal Gems. This was the second lowest point of her life after the deaths of her mother and younger brother. This was the closest she came to turning to the Dark Side.

"Do you think I'm proud of what I did?" asked Blaze "I don't regret rescuing Steven and my friends, but all of those Gems I killed many of them share the same voices as the ones I know back on Earth. I have never forgiven myself for it."

"I'm actually surprised that the Diamonds and the other Gems forgave you for what you did, but we on the other hand are not the forgiving types." Fire Agate kicks Blaze in the side

"Time to take out the trash." Blood Rose pulls out Blaze's .44 magnum the same gun she used to shatter and kill Eyeball's squad

"Since you want to avenge your squad, perhaps you should be the one to pull the trigger." Blood Rose offers the gun to Eyeball

Eyeball thinks for a bit then takes the gun and points it at the bound Gem killer.

"Don't worry about Lapis Lazuli, she will be joining you soon enough. Or better yet we'll put her in another mirror." Blood Rose holds a photo of Blaze and Lapis that she had taken out of Blaze's wallet

Blaze and Lapis have been dating for a few months now, they started out as friends when Blaze brought Steven home after being kidnapped by her family's killers. The killers are part of an anti-Gem group called the Enigma Ring. At the time they met Blaze was mortally wounded by a group of Enigma Ring assassins while protecting Steven. Lapis and Peridot showed up and managed to stop them, saving both Blaze and Steven. Lapis had used some kind of blood bending on Blaze to stop her from bleeding to death as she alongside Peridot and Steven took her to Rose's fountain to heal her. Sometime after that as far as Steven and Lapis were concerned, they got a third beach summer fun buddy. She began bonding with Lapis and Peridot over art or meep morps as Peridot and Lapis would call them as well as watching Camp Pining Hearts. For Blaze and Lapis two years of friendship morphed into something stronger. Blaze made the first move and surprisingly enough the Ocean Gem herself returned them. Peridot, Steven, and Bismuth became a huge support for them. Blaze remembered having the lifespan talk with Lapis, because let's face it, Gems are near immortal and humans barely live to be about a century. Lapis told her she would treasure every second until the inevitable day comes. Now it is going to come sooner than they thought. Blaze could not bear the thought of Lapis trapped in a mirror again.

"If any of you lay a hand on her I'm going to-" before Blaze can finish her sentence, Serpentine kicked Blaze in the face making the human yell out in pain

"Shut up!"

"Serpentine, get out of the way. Let me finish this once and for all." Eyeball cocked the .44 magnum and aimed

"This is for Leggy!" Eyeball pulled the trigger then a gunshot struck Blaze's left thigh

"For Navy!" a shot in the stomach right above Blaze's belly button

"For Army!" another gunshot, this time on the left shoulder

"For Doc!" a gunshot in the chest

"And this is for me!"

The last image Blaze saw before her vision faded to darkness was Eyeball shooting her in the head.

Eyeball dropped the gun on the ground and collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face thinking about her squad, Navy, Doc, Leggy, and Army. Stars how she missed them.

Aquamarine placed a hand on Eyeball's shoulder.

"It's okay, your squad has been avenged."

"Good work. Now let's get rid of the body," said Blood Rose

"You guys realize, what we did is pretty serious right? We're talking fifteen to life," said Cobalt

"Shut your trap and help us get rid of the body," said Rutile Quartz

As the Gems were about to dispose of Blaze, a Wookiee roar that sounded like it was close by was heard. Lepidolite pulled out some binoculars to see who was coming. A male Zygerrian, a male Pantoran, a male Wookiee, a male Neimoidian and several Gems, an Era One Peridot, an Onyx, and a Vesuvianite with the lights from their gemstones acting as flashlights were headed their way.

"Forget about hiding the body! Someone's coming!" yelled Lepidolite

"All of you never saw anything! Scatter!" Blood Rose ordered

The Gems quickly scatter away to different directions.

"Well Gale, Zikku, any idea what that was?" the Zygerrian asked the Pantoran and Neimoidian

"Coltor, sounded like someone used a slugthrower out here." Zikku, the Neimoidian answered

"Well, whoever used said slugthrower is gone now," said Gale, the Pantoran

"(Look over there!)" Chewbacca roared and pointed at the direction where Blaze is lying on the ground, in a pool of blood forming from the gunshot wounds

"Holy Coprolite!" the Vesuvianite shouted

The six of them ran over to where she was. The Era One Peridot knelt beside and checked for a pulse, despite the position of the gunshot wounds, she felt a pulse.

"Old Timer, is she dead?" the Onyx asked

"No, she is alive. Barely. Judging by these wounds something like this should've been fatal, yet she survived thus far, but I don't know for how long," said Old Timer

"(We need to get her back to the homestead. She needs medical attention!)" Chewbacca exclaimed

"I agree we need to get her to Zed and Emda as soon as we can," said Coltor

Vesuvianite and Onyx took the bindings off of Blaze's wrists and legs. Chewbacca gathers her into his arms and starts carrying her. Old Timer used her ferrokinesis to get Blaze's car out of the sand dune. It did not take long for them to get Blaze to the homestead where the Qarren doctor Zed Churv was waiting for them. Zed immediately notices Blaze and runs to the group.

"What happened to her?" asked Zed

"Someone shot her with a slugthrower and when we found her, she was tied up and the culprits were gone," said Vesuvianite

"Emda, I need help over here!" Zed calls his girlfriend who is also a doctor

The Mon Calamari came out to where her boyfriend and the group were.

"What's going on?" asked Emda

"They are telling me they found her bound and injured like this, but she barely managed to survive, I don't know how much time she has without medical intervention," said Zed

"Well, that explains the slugthrower sounds we heard earlier," said Emda

"Are you guys going to be able to save her?" asked Gale

"We'll do whatever we can. Zed, help me get her inside and turn on the medical droid, Old Timer we can use your ferrokinesis to help remove the projectiles," said Emda

"Yes ma'am," said Old Timer

Zed and Emda took Blaze inside and placed her on a bed.

"Don't worry, we are going to do everything we can to help you," said Zed as he hooks Blaze to an IV and heart monitor

Author's Note: This is another project that got put on the backburner for a while now. Funny enough, I played with a Steven Universe mod on Stellaris and started watching it a little bit which renewed my interest in making this project.

Another Author's Note: Vesuvianite saying "Holy Coprolite" I try to find some gem version of swear words, but no luck so Imagine that this is the gem equivalent of the phrase "holy shit" and clod being somewhere along the lines of "bitch". If anyone has any idea what to use for a gem curse word, please let me know.
