Hello, people of fanfiction! Welcome to my first ever, Steven Universe and Jurassic Park crossover story! Well, technically, it's not really a crossover since none of the cast of the Jurassic Park movies will appear in my story, but I will be borrowing some elements from them. Mostly the origin of how they bring back the dinosaurs, and other things. I would also like to say thanks to "gabeherdon308", who inspired me to make this story and has been a huge help in creating this story. If it wasn't for him, then this story wouldn't've existed...anyway, I don't own Steven Universe, only my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"SUBJECT 0007 HAS ESCAPED! REPEAT SUBJECT 0007 HAS ESCAPED!"
"He's over there! Don't let him get away!"
"I got him!"
"What are you doing, moron!? Bullets won't work on him! We need tranquilizers!"
"Okay, freak. Get back to your cage, and no one is going to get hurt."
"LEAVE US ALONE!"
"Saurus…I love you."
BANG!
"MOMMY!"
The people on the bus shot up in surprise as a young teen suddenly woke up screaming bloody murder as he leaped out of his seat and stood in a fighting stance. The young teen was a 14-year-old boy with Caucasian skin, long spiky black hair, blue eyes, a small nose, an athletic build, and his outfit consisted of a green hoodie with a navy blue shirt underneath, brown slacks, and black shoes. He also seems to be rather short for his age, standing at only 5'2. His name is Saurus.
Panting in exhaustion, the young teen cautiously stood up as Saurus looked around and saw the confused/shocked faces of the passengers beside him as Saursu slowly realized what was going on and blushes in embarrassment as he sheepishly went back to his seat while ignoring the confused/terrified looks that he was receiving as Saurus turned his back on them. After a few awkward minutes, the people on the bus decided to shrug off the weird incident as they figured that the kid had a weird nightmare or something, and went back to their seats, except for an old man, who stood up from his seat as he made his way over to the young teen.
"Rough night, I presume?" The old man asked while sitting next to him as the teen laughed bitterly.
"You have no idea. Sorry for scaring everyone, sir." Saurus said apologetically as the old man waved it off.
"You did give us quite a scare there, young man. By the way, my name is Marvin." He said while holding out his hand as the teen stared at him silently.
"Saurus." He answered while shaking his hand as Marvin gave him a small smile.
"Nice name." Marvin complimented before frowning as Saurus bends down to grab his backpack from the ground. "Don't mind me asking, but what was the dream about?" He asked as Saurus flinched before calming down as he gave the old man a calm look.
"It was nothing. Just a bad dream." Saurus says quietly as the old man stared at him with disbelief.
"Son, I can read bullshit a mile away. You can't trick me with that lie." Marvin says as Saurus grew irritated by the man's constant pestering and growled under his breath as he crossed his arms and huffed.
"I said, I'm fine! It was just a stupid dream! It's nothing to get serious about!"
"Okay, no need to be moody about it!" Marvin says while holding out his hands in fake surrender as Saurus rolled his eyes and leans back against his seat as he looks out the window. "Look, I understand. I used to hate telling people about my problems as well. So, I won't pressure you. Anyway, where are you headed?" Marvin asked, trying to change the subject.
"Beach City," Saurus says bluntly as Marvin raised an eyebrow.
"Beach City? Any particular reason why you want to go there?"
"Oh, I have my reasons," Saurus said, so ominously that it caused a shiver to go up the old man's spine. "I heard that there was a rumor going on in that city, and I wanted to see if it was true or not."
"What kind of rumor? Good or bad?" He asked as the teen shrugs.
"Depends if the rumors are true or not," Saurus says as the bus came to a full stop, and the young teen wasted no time in grabbing his backpack as he stood up. "Well, here's my stop. It's been nice knowing you, old man. I hope we can meet again in the future." Saurus politely says before turning around as he started walking away.
"Hey, kid," Marvin called out just as Saurus reached the doors as the black-haired boy turned to Marvin confusedly.
"Yeah?"
"I can tell you have a lot of baggage on your shoulders. I'm not here to judge, but you need some help. Maybe from your parents?" He suggests as the boy laughed sarcastically.
"Kind of hard to talk to Mommy and Daddy if they're not around to talk to in the first place," Saurus says snarkily as the old man frowned but didn't say anything as the doors opened, and the young man leaped out of the bus as he waved at Marvin goodbye before walking away.
"Saurus, my boy, I hope you get the help you deserve. You're going to need it." The old man says as the bus driver started up the bus and they drove off.
"Dammit, it happened again! That's the fifth nightmare this month! I can't keep waking up like this!" Saurus says while clenching his fist as he cursed himself. Saurus had spent the last 10 minutes berating himself for scaring those innocent passengers earlier. It was embarrassing for him to lose control like that, but lately, the nightmares were getting worse. "I thought I got past this? But somehow, that stupid nightmare came back, and it's driving me nuts!" Saurus screams before calming down as he looked at his arm and winced at the sight of dark green scales appearing all over his forearm.
"Okay, Saurus, no need to 'hulk out' as they say it. Take deep breathes, just like how Mama taught you." He said to himself as he did some breathing exercises, and much to his delight, the green scales started receding. "Man, that was close. I got to be more careful next time, but for now, it's time to get back to business." Saurus says as he reached a sign that says, 'Welcome to Beach City!', and placed his hands on his hips as Saurus studied the small city below with a cold and calculative look. "So, this is Beach City, huh? It doesn't look like much, but looks can be deceiving." Saurus says as he walked down the path leading to the city.
Once arriving in Beach City, Saurus had spent the next fifteen minutes exploring the small town, hoping to find what he was looking for as Saurus ignored the curious glances that he was receiving from the citizens of Beach City and was about to continue with his search, but then stopped as Saurus felt his stomach gurgled. Feeling hungry, Saurus looked around for the nearest establishment that served food and saw a small building that, weirdly enough, had a giant donut on the roof as the young teen raises an eyebrow at this...before shrugging as Saurus made his way over to the store that he later finds out is named, 'The Big Donut', and entered the shop as the smell of freshly baked donuts immediately hit his senses like wildfire and the stench were so strong that his sensitive nose couldn't take it and Saurus was forced to cover his nose as he gagged.
"Hello, there. Are you okay, kid?" A female voice asked as Saurus looked up and saw a rather short 16-year-old teenage girl with curly shoulder-length blonde hair staring at him, concernedly as she had black eyes, fair skin, a small nose, and wears a purple shirt with a periwinkle polo underneath, which displays the Big Donut logo, black leggings, and pink-red shoes. Her name is Sadie Miller.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, okay, then. Anyway, my name is Sadie, and welcome to the Big Donut! Mind if I take your order?" Sadie asked as Saurus looked down at the counter and stared at the donuts hungrily.
"I will like to have a donut with chocolate icing and sprinkles."
"That will be about 0.99$." She says as Saurus nodded and handed her the money. "So, haven't seen you around here before. Are you new to town?" Sadie asks while giving him his order as Saurus nodded.
"Yes, I am. I just got here a few minutes ago." Saurus says while taking a bite out of his donut as Sadie leaned on the counter and stared at him curiously.
"That's neat. So, what brings you to our quiet little town?" Sadie asked while using air quotes as Saurus saw this but said nothing as he answered her question.
"I'm here on business. I heard that there was a rumor going through this town."
"Really? What rumor?" Sadie asked as Saurus finished his donut and pulled out his phone as he started looking for something.
"Oh, I read about something on this blog called Keep Beach City Weird," Saurus says while showing her the blog as Sadie narrowed her eyes at it and blinks in confusion as she placed her head on her hand.
"Huh? Isn't that Ronaldo's blog?" Sadie asks herself confusedly before turning to Saurus as she gave him a disbelief look. "You don't honestly believe what he says, do you?"
"No, not at all. But there was something here that piqued my interest." Saurus says as he showed her a blurry video of three people fighting against a giant creature as one of them picked up a truck while the other shot energy blasts at it, and the other evacuated the civilians. "Recognize them?" He asked as Sadie studied the video carefully.
"Hmmm, these images aren't that clear, but I think that I do recognize them-Wait a minute, why do you want to meet them again?" Sadie asked suspiciously as Saurus shrugs and gave her an innocent look.
"Well, I heard that they were the guardians of this town, so I came all the way here to meet them. I mean, those people did save those civilians from that monster, so I thought they deserved a proper thanks." Saurus says as Sadie smiled.
"Oh, well, if that's the reason, then yeah, I do recognize them! They called themselves the Crystal Gems, I don't know that much about them or anyone for that matter, but you can talk to Steven about it since they are his family after all."
"Can you tell me where to find him?"
"Well, he is usually around here by this time, so he should be here in an about..." Sadie says just as the doors were flung open as Saurus and Sadie turned around and saw a 13-year-old kid standing by the doorway with a big smile on his face. "...now."
"Hey, Sadie! Hit me up with some Cookie Cats!" The kid seemingly named Steven says while running over to the counter as Saurus got a good look at the kid and noticed that Steven has a short, thick, stocky build with curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyebrows, black eyes, fair skin, and wears a salmon-pink t-shirt with a gold star in the center of the shirt, blue jeans, and salmon-pink flip-flops. And, he also seems to be rather short for his age, standing at only 4'2. His full name is Steven Universe.
"On it! But before I go, I will like you to meet...oh, sorry, I didn't catch your name." Sadie says with an embarrassed look as Saurus waved it off.
"It's okay, the name's Saurus. Nice to meet you, kid." Saurus says to Steven as Sadie ran off to collect Steven's order.
"Nice to meet you, Saurus!" Steven says while shaking his hand. "My name is Steven Universe!" Steven exclaimed happily as Saurus raised an eyebrow a bit at his name.
"What an...interesting name, I guess. Anyway, do you know anything about these people?" Saurus says while showing him the clip of the video as Steven hums thoughtfully.
"Maybe? It's kind of hard to make out with the low resolution." Steven says while squinting his eyes at Saurus's phone before gasping as he recognized who they were. "Wait, I do know them! It's Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst!"
"So, you do know who they are?" Saurus asked as Steven's eyes turned into stars in excitement, and he nodded.
"Heck yeah! They're called the Crystal Gems, and they saved the world from monsters and stuff!" Steven says cheerfully as Saurus gave him a bemused look.
"That's good to hear, kid," Saurus says before bending down to Steven's eye level as he gave the young kid a serious look. "Look, Steven. I traveled a long way to meet them. So, I was wondering if you can do me a favor and-"
"Sorry to interrupt, boys, but Steven? I've bad news," Sadie says while walking back to the counter as the boys turned to her. "But first, put this on, Saurus," She says while bringing out a box of earplugs as she handed them to Saurus, who doesn't understand why he has to wear them, but reluctantly puts them on as Sadie put hers on as well. "Okay, so I just found out that they stopped making Cookie Cats, so we're pretty much sold out...sorry, Steven."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Now understanding why Sadie handed him a box of earplugs, Saurus mouthed a small 'Thank you' to her as she responded with a thumbs up.
"This can't be happening! This has to be a dream!" Steven says before turning over to a young teenager, who appeared from the stockroom, as Steven ran over to him. The teenager is 16-years-old with a lanky, slim build, curly orange-brown hair in the style of a mohawk, black eyes, Tan skin, and wears tunnels in his stretched earlobes. His clothes seem to consist of a violet T-shirt with a half-eaten donut design on it, a pale cream long-sleeved shirt underneath, a pair of ripped dark blue jeans, and mint/dark-green high top sneakers. His name is Lars Barriga.
"Lars!" Steven says while grabbing him around the waist as he looked up at him pleadingly. "Please tell me I'm dreaming!"
"Isn't he overreacting a little bit?" Saurus asks Sadie, who shrugs.
"Maybe, but that's who he is," Sadie says.
"Get off me, man, I'm stocking here!" Lars says while shaking him off as Saurus went over to help Steven.
"Steven, aren't you taking this a little bit too far? They're just cookies, man." Saurus says while helping up as Steven gasps at him dramatically.
"Just cookies? JUST COOKIES!? Shame on you, Saurus! They're the most delicious ice-cream sandwich ever made! How sad that you will never know the sweet and pure goodness of Cookie Cats! I feel for you, Saurus." Steven says before falling to his knees as Saurus stared at him with a blank look.
"Again, is he always like this?" Saurus asked Sadie as she gives him a sheepish look and shrugs.
"Why did they ever stop making Cookie Cats? Why?" Steven wailed as Lars rolled his eyes at him.
"Tough bits, man. Nobody buys them anymore." Lars says while stocking the shelves. "I guess they couldn't compete with Lion Lickers," Lars says with an indifferent shrug as Steven groans.
"Not Lion Lickers! Nobody likes them! They don't even look like real lions! Kids these days, I'll tell ya what!" Steven says while shaking his head in disappointment.
"Do you hate Lion Lickers that much?" Saurus asks.
"Well, hate is a strong word, but yeah, I don't like them."
"Well, if you miss your wimpy ice-cream so much, why don't you make some with your magic belly button?" Lars says mockingly before laughing as he walks off. Saurus narrows his eyes at him as Steven huffs.
"That's not how it works, Lars!...right?" Steven asks himself while lifting his shirt as he stared at his pink diamond gem that was resting where his belly button should've been.
"Whoa, wicked belly ring, due. How did you manage to convince your parents to give you one?" Saurus says while bending down to stare at Steven's gem.
"Oh, this isn't a belly ring. It's my gem!" Steven says before pulling down his shirt as Saurus stood up. "Well, it was my mom's, but it's mine now ever since she gave up her physical form to make me." Steven nonchalantly says as Saurus gave him a confused look.
"I'm sorry, but what?"
"I will explain later," Steven says, before sighing sadly and walked over to the Cookie Cat display case. "Oh, sweet Cookie Cat's with you're crunchy cookie outside and your icy, creamy insides...you were too good for this world," Steven says as he draws a cookie cat on the freezer and kisses it as he whimpers sadly.
"Uh...Steven?" Sadie says while sharing uncomfortable looks with the boys as Steven didn't reply to her. "Do you want to take the freezer with you?" Steven nods as he let go of the freezer and tried to disconnect it from the wall, only to get tangled up from the cable.
"Hey, man. Let me help you out with that." Saurus says as he untangled Steven from the cable and easily disconnected the freezer from the wall.
"Gee, thanks, Saurus!" Steven says as Saurus handed him the freezer.
"You're welcome," Saurus says as Steven nodded and made his way to the door. "Hey! Wait a minute! Remember the favor that I asked earlier?" Saurus asked as Steven nodded. "Well, I spent a long time looking for your friends, so I was wondering if I can tag along with you? To meet them in person."
"Well, you did save me from being strangled to death, so why not? Sure, you can tag along!" Steven says before walking out of the store as Saurus followed.
"It's been nice knowing you, Sadie! Oh, and Lars? Please, fix your ears, man. They look like something you find on a public bathroom." Saurus says with a smirk before walking off as Sadie waved at him.
"Bye, Saurus!"
"Little bastard," Lars grumbled as he went back to work.
"I think they look fine," Sadie says quietly.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
"So, this is where you live?" Saurus asked while staring at the giant statue that was attached to a small house as Steven walks up to the stairs leading to his home.
"Yep. Pretty cool, right?"
"Yes, very cool," Saurus says, memorized by the statue as Steven opened the door.
"Hey, guys! You won't believe this!" Steven says before yelping as Centipeetle came out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground as Saurus reached quickly and rushes forward as he grabs the creature by her hair, and threw her off as the Centipeetle landed on the ground and hisses at him as she was about to attack again when suddenly she was caught by a whip.
"Sup, Steven." A female voice says as Saurus turned his head, and couldn't help but to gaped as he saw a purple-skinned female waving at them while keeping a firm grip on her whip.
The purple-skinned female is 4,999-years-old with a stout build, long thick pale lavender hair that reaches to her ankles with a lock of hair that covers her left eye, dark indigo eyes, plump lips, a small upturned nose, and a purple gemstone located on her chest. Her outfit consists of a mauve, oversized, off-shoulder tank top with a black bra underneath, black leggings with star-shaped cutouts on the knees and a tear above the left star, and small pointed white boots. She also seems to be the second shortest one of the group, including Saurus, standing at only 4'7. Her name is Amethyst.
"Amethyst!/What in the world!?" The boys screamed as Amethyst smirked at Saurus.
"Sup, new guy. You should probably step back." Amethyst warns as she tightens her grip on the Centipeetle and slams her into the ground.
"Whoa!" Saurus says in admiration as Steven puts down the freezer.
"Awesome! Hey Pearl! What are these things?" Steven asks as Saurus kicked one Centipeetle away.
"Ugh. Sorry, Steven! We'll get these Centipeetle's out of your room." The woman seemingly named Pearl says while lifting one of the Centipeetle's from the ground as she struggled to break out of Pearl's grasp.
Pearl is an ivory-skinned 7,999-year-old female with a slender build, light cyan eyes, thin lips, a pointed nose, peach-colored hair with a pixie-cut in the front, while in the back her, hair leads to a point, and just like Amethyst, she has a gemstone located on her forehead. Her outfit consists of a sleeveless, sky blue top with a silk translucent ballet skirt around her waist, pink leggings with light green socks, and slip-on ballet shoes. Saurus also noticed that she seems to be rather tall, standing at only 6'4.
"How did these things even get here?" Steven asks as Pearl shrugs.
"We don't know how they got in, yet, but we think that they were trying to enter into the temple," Pearl says before blinking in surprise as she finally noticed Saurus's presence. "Oh, hello there. Are you one of Steven's friends?" She politely asks as Saurus scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Something like that..."
"Aw, do you have to get rid of them? They're cool." Steven says, just as the Centipeetle that Pearl was holding spits acid at Saurus as the athletic teen screamed, and jumps out of the way as he narrowly missed the acid and it harmlessly fell on the floor. "...You know what? Nevermind." Steven says as Saurus dusts off his clothes and glared at the Centipeetle.
"You little shit!" Saurus says as he snatched the Centipeetle out of Pearl's grasp and tossed her to the floor. "Trying to burn me, will you!?" Saurus screams as he raises his leg and curbs stomps the creature to death, only to blink in shock as the creature seemingly poofs out of existence. "...Okay, what was that?" Saurus asked as Pearl was about to respond when Amethyst interrupts her.
"Um, guys. These things don't have gems." She says while picking her nose.
"That means there must be a mother somewhere nearby." A female monotone voice says as Saurus jumps in surprise and turned around as he was surprised to see a maroon-skinned female standing behind him with a neutral look on her face.
The maroon-skinned female is 5,749-years-old with black hair in the style of a cube-shaped afro, three blue/purple/red eyes, prominent lips, and, unlike Amethyst and Pear, she has two gemstones located in each of her hands. Her outfit seems to consist of a black/crimson bodysuit with cubic shoulder pads, triangular futuristic translucent orange-tinted shades, a pink star with a magenta outline on her chest, long elbow-length black gloves that covered her middle fingers, and she also seems to be the tallest one in the group, standing at only 7'8. Her name is Garnet.
"Oh, Jesus, you scared me! Where did you come from?!" Saurus asked as Garnet didn't answer him, and a Centipeetle sneaks up from beside her as she was about to strike her, only to be nonchalantly punched away by Garnet as she didn't blink at the close call.
"My name is Garnet. Nice to meet you." She says with a monotone voice as Saurus sweatdropped at her aloof demeanor.
"Uh, nice to meet you too, I guess. I'm Saurus."
"Anyway, we should probably find the mother before anyone gets hurt," Pearl says, reminding everyone of the mission as Steven gasps excitedly.
"Oh! Oh! Can I come?! Can I!? Can I!?"
"Steven, until you learn to control the powers in your gem, we'll take care of protecting humanity, okay?" Pearl asks sweetly as Steven looks down disappointedly.
"Aw, man!" He says as Saurus looks between them confusedly.
"I'm sorry, but can anyone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Saurus asks as Steven gasps.
"You said a swore!"
"And you're stating the obvious. What's your point?"
"You can't swear! That's bad!"
"I swore before, what's the difference now?"
"Well, you were almost hit by acid, so I will give you a slide at that time, but you can't swear anymore!"
"Are you serious?" Saurus asks as Steven glared at him stubbornly. "Alright, alright, I won't swear! But seriously, what the heck is going on here?" He asks as Steven nodded approvingly.
"We're a group of powerful beings that are sworn to protect this planet from anyone or anything that harms it we're called, 'The Crystal Gems'," Garnet explained as Saurus paid close attention. "When Steven was born, he inherited his gem from his mother and our former leader Rose Quartz, which means he will inherit her powers as well. So, once he grows old enough, we will teach him how to activate and master his gem. So, he will one day join us in our cause just as his mother did before him." Garnet finishes as everyone applauded her speech.
"So, that was one heck of hot exposition you just threw at me. But the gist of it is that you all are a powerful group that took an oath to protect this planet?"
"Yep."
"And, you're all teaching Steven to master his powers so he can one day join your team?"
"Yep."
"...Well, there goes my theory out the window," Saurus grumbled as Steven glanced over at the kitchen and saw a Centipeetle raiding the fridge.
"Hey! Get out of there!" Steven screams as he ran over to the fridge. "Go on! Shoo! Shoo!" He says as the Centipeetle scampers off but didn't go far as Garnet summoned her gauntlets and punches her to nonexistence.
"Nice punch," Saurus says as Garnet nods.
"Aw, man! It got into everything! Not cool!" Steven says, before noticing that the fridge was full of Cookie Cats as he gasped. "No way! I-It can't be!" He says with stars in his eyes as he grabbed a Cookie Cat and closes the fridge. "Where did you get these!? I thought they stopped making them!"
"Well, we heard that too, and since they're your favorite-"
"We went out and stole a bunch!" Amethyst says as Pearl stared at her angrily
"I went back and paid for them!" Pearl says as the rest of the group joined up.
"The whole thing was my idea." Garnet retracts her gauntlets.
"It was everyone's idea!"
"Not really."
"All that matters is that Steven's happy." She says as Steven got so happy that he started singing.
Oohhhhh!
He's a frozen treat with an all-new taste!
'cause he came to this planet from outer of space!
A refugee of an interstellar war!
But now he's at your local grocery store!
Cookie Cat!
He's a pet for your tummy!
Cookie Cat!
He's super-duper yummy!
Cookie Cat!
He left his family behind!
Cookie caaaaat!
Now available at Gurgens off Route 109!
Steven stops singing as the gems burst out in laughter and applaud while Saurus smirks in amusement.
"I can't believe you did this. I'm going to save these forever! Right after I eat this one. Hello, old friend." Steven says, before taking a bite as he moaned in delight. "Oh, so good!" He says as everyone smiled, before gasping in shock as his gem started glowing. "I like to eat the ears first."
"Not to interrupt your moment or anything, but your thing is glowing!" Saurus says as Steven looks down and gasped.
"Wha-My gem!"
"Quick, try and summon your weapon!" Amethyst yelled.
"I don't know how!" Steven screams before panicking as the glow started to fade. "Ah, it's fading! How do I make it come back!?"
"Calm down, Steven. Breathe, don't force it." Pearl says as Amethyst pops in.
"Yeah, and try not to poop yourself either."
"Please don't," Pearl says with a wince of disgust as Saurus gave the girls a deadpan look.
"Not helping guys," Saurus says as Steven's gems stopped glowing, and everyone sighed disappointedly.
"Ah, man. I was so close! Can one of you guys teach me how to summon my weapon?"
"Oh, I'll go first!" Pearl says with a singsong voice as she grabbed Steven's hand. "Saurus, you can come along if you want?" She asks as Saurus shrugs.
"Sure, why not. I have nothing better to do anyway." Saurus says as he follows after them.
"Pay attention to these petals, Steven," Pearl said as she took the boys to a small hill that had a blossoming tree planted on it. "The petals dance may seem improvised, but is being calculated in real-time based on the physical properties of this planet. With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your gem and perform your own dance!" Pearl says as she summoned her spear and skillfully twirled it around before planting it on the ground as Pearl grinned at the boys smugly. "Like so."
"Fascinating," Saurus says while sitting behind Steven as the alien boy picked up a handful of rose petals. "So, you summon your spear through years of training and dedication?"
"Why, yes, I do," Pearl says as Saurus studied her carefully.
"Interesting," Later on, at the Big Donut, we see Steven tossing a handful of rose petals into the air while Amethyst and Saurus watched him.
"Did Pearl tell you the 'petal thing'?" Amethyst asks while eating a donut as Steven nodded.
"Yeah, I need to practice really hard so I can dance like a tree...I think."
"Listen, Steven, all that practice stuff is no fun and totally useless," Amethyst says as Saurus looks offended by that statement. "Whenever I need to summon my weapon, it just happens," Amethyst says as she casually summoned her whip and breaks a nearby garbage container in two. "See? Didn't try at all."
"Well, not all of us are lucky and can wing it," Saurus grumbles as Amethyst stared at him confusedly and was about to retort when Lars showed up.
"Huh!? Again!? Who did this!?"
"Cheese it!" Saurus screams as everybody bolted out of the scene. A few minutes later, the boys then met up with Garnet as they stood on top of the temple near a lighthouse.
"So, I'm supposed to work really hard and not try all at the same time?" Steven asks as Saurus stood beside him with his arms crossed.
"Yes...or you could link your mind with the energy of all existing matter. Channeling the collective power of the universe through your gem, which results in this!" Garnet shouted as she moved her arms around elegantly before summoning her weapons as she slammed her gauntlets together. "At least that's my way of doin' it," Garnet says as Steven stared at her quietly, completely lost, while Saurus listened to her words carefully as he hums thoughtfully.
"Her way of doing it, huh?" Saurus asks as we cue back to the house and see everyone standing in the kitchen as Steven stood in front of them with a calculative look on his face.
"Okay, I think my best bet of summoning my shield is to recreate what happened the last time my gem glowed. So...Garnet, Amethyst, and Saurus were over there." Steven said while pointing at them as he then turned to Pearl. "Pearl was next to the fridge. Hmm, Amethyst? I think you had your arms crossed?"
"Okay, your majesty," Amethyst says playfully while crossing her arms.
"Saurus," Steven says as Saurus perked up. "You had a bored look on your face, and you were leaning against the counter."
"Not sure if this will work, dude. But whatever." Saurus says as he gained a bored look and leaned against the counter.
"Great! And Pearl, your foot was like this." Steven says while angling her foot as she gave him a concerned look.
"I don't think it works this way, Steven," Pearl says, but Steven ignores her.
"And, Garnet...uh...you know what? You look good." Steven says as he opens the fridge and grabbed a Cookie Cat. "Then I took a bite out of this Cookie Cat. Oh, wait! I sang the song first. Uh, he's a frozen treat, all-new taste, interstellar war, now available at Ghurven's." He sang as everyone stared at him awkwardly. "Aww, it was funnier last time. Maybe I'm not a real Crystal Gem."
"Don't be silly, Steven. Of course, you are." Pear says, comforting him as Amethyst leans in.
"And you're fun to have around, even if your gem is useless," Amethyst added in as both Pearl and Saurus glared at her. "I...mean, you're one of us, Steven. We're not the Crystal Gems without you." Amethyst says, rather sweetly I might add, as Garnet nodded while Saurus hums as he stared at Steven, and an idea popped into his head.
"Hmmm, is it possible? Let's see if my theory is right." Saurus says before chiming in as he bends down to Steven's eye level. "She's right, man. I may not know you guys that much, but I can tell that you all care about each other. It doesn't matter if your powers work, or not Steven, because the truth of the matter is that you are a Crystal Gem." Saurus says as Steven looks up to him and tearfully smiles.
"Hey, you're right! Even if I don't have powers, I've still got...Cookie Cat's!" Steven exclaims as he takes a bite out of the ice-cream sandwich. "Mmm, so good," Steven says while closing his eyes as his gem started glowing again, and a bright pink shield appeared as everyone collectively gasped.
"Steven is a shield...her shield," Pearl said the last part quietly as Steven opens his eyes and gasped.
"Whoa, what!? I get a shield!? Oh, yeah!" Steven says before accidentally launching his shield as it ricochets across the room. Steven's shield zipped around the room a few times before hitting the TV as the shield easily sliced it in half.
" …Damm…" Saurus as Amethyst bursts out in laughter.
"Huh?" Steven says dumbly before looking at the Cookie Cat as his mind connected the dots. "Cookie Cat! I summoned my weapon by eating ice cream!"
"What's in these things?" Pearl says as Saurus shakes his head.
"Guys, isn't it obvious?" Saurus asks as everyone turned to him. "He doesn't summon his shield by eating ice cream that's idiotic! He summons his weapon by feeling an intense emotion of-" He said, before being cut off as the house started rumbling.
"What was that?!"
"Outside!" Saurus screams as everyone ran outside and saw a giant Centipeetle crawling up the temple.
"It's the mother!" Garnet screamed as she leaps towards the Mother Centipeetle.
"Stay in the house, kids!" Pearl says as the kids shook their heads in protests.
"No way! I can help!" Saurus says as Steven nodded.
"Yeah, I'm coming too!" Steven says while running back into the house.
"Sorry, little man, but you just get in the way," Amethyst says as she and Pearl went to help Garnet.
"That's what you think!" Saurus growls before blinking in surprise as Steven ran past him while carrying the Cookie Cat freezer. "Steven, what the hell do you think you're doing!?"
"Swear!" Steven screams while running down the stairs to help the gems, who were pinned down by the creature's acid spit as they took cover behind a broken statue hand.
"I can't believe he is lecturing me while we're in the middle of a battle," Saurus says to himself as he jumped off from the porch and landed next to Steven. "What are you even planning to do? Throw a rock at it?" He sarcastically asked as Steven picks up a rock and throws it at the creature. "I WAS JUST KIDDING!"
"Hey! Leave them alone!" Steven shouted, getting the attention of the giant monster as he planted the freezer on the ground firmly.
"Steven, no!" The Gems screamed as the Giant Centipeetle growls at the boys.
"Steven, you better have a plan or something," Saurus says, more worried about the boy's safety than his own as Steven glared determinedly.
"I do have a plan, and that is to save my friends by summoning my powers!" He says as Saurus's eyes widen in horror.
"No, Steven! That's not how your powers work!" He screamed, but Steven ignores him.
"Cookie Cat Crystal Combo Powers activate!" Steven shouted as he eats a Cookie Cat, and waited for his shield to appear...but nothing happened. Saurus facepalms as Steven looks down at his gem, and then at the creature. "Uh, oh."
The Giant Centipeetle bends down to bite Steven as the young child screamed in fear and tries to run away, but got tangled up by the freezer's cable as he fell on the ground. Groaning in pain, Steven looked up and whimpers in fear as he saw the Centipeedle monster racing towards him as he covered his eyes and waited for his demise...but strangely enough, nothing happened as a confused Steven opened his eyes and gasps in shock as he saw a giant green/brown creature holding back the Centipeetle with a tremendous amount of pure strength as he glared at the giant monster. The creature has a humanoid dinosaur-like body with dark green scales, dark reddish-brown splotches on his body with a lighter shade of green covering its underbelly, yellow eyes, large sharp claws/teeth, a small horn on his snout, small reddish-brown spikes on his back and a green tail. He also seems to be just as tall as Garnet, standing at only 7'8.
"If you want him, you're going to have to go through me!" The creature yelled with a voice that was so deep and chilling that it sends shivers down Steven's spine.
"W-Who are you?" Steven stuttered as the dinosaur-like creature tilted his head down at him and smirked at the young boy.
"Isn't it obvious, Steven? It's me, Saurus!"
"Saurus?" Steven asks before noticing that the creature was wearing Saurus clothes, albeit it was stretched out and ripped in some places. "Holy cow, it is you! What happened? How did you turn into this thing? Do you have magic powers like me?" Steven excitedly asked while standing up as Saurus grunted.
"It's a long story. I'll explain it later, but for now, you might want to step back!" Saurus says as Steven nodded and grabs his freezer as he runs away. With Steven out of the way, Saurus didn't have to hold back as he lifted the Giant Centipeetle into the air and started spinning the giant monster around as Steven and the gems watched in astonishment as Saurus not only picked up the giant gem monster like it was nothing, but the winds he was generating was so strong that it resembled a mini-tornado!
"Whoa!" Amethyst says as, after a few spins, Saurus lets go of the creature and watch in satisfaction as she crashed against the hill and slumps on the ground.
"Come on, you bastard! Is that all you got?"
Saurus taunted as Mother Centipeetle grew angry and shakily stood up as she roared and Saurus roars back as the Centipeetle spits acid at him and Saurus easily dodges the attack as he then bends down to his knees and effortlessly leaps 30 feet in the air as the giant bug creature was shocked at how fast his opponent flew from the ground and, before she could react, Saurus sucker punches her to the ground as the ground shook from the impact and a big dust cloud appears. Once he landed, Saurus smirked as he watched the Centipeetle whimper in pain, but then his senses started screaming at him to move out of the way as Saurus was not sure why his instincts were telling him to jump, but reluctantly obliged as Saurus leaped out of the way just as Mother Centipeetle tilted her head as she rained down acid from her mouth and sprayed the whole beach, but thankfully missing the house.
"STEVEN, MOVE!" The gems screamed as Saurus looked behind him and, much to his horror, he saw a bucket full of acid heading straight towards Steven!
"NO!" Saurus quickly rushes towards Steven's side as he leaps at him just as the acid fell on top of them and washed over their bodies as small splashes of acid dripped onto the floor. The gems could only watch in horror as acid poured on them before subsiding as they saw Saurus's large frame covering Steven to protect him from the acid, but the same couldn't be said about him as half of Saurus's body was melted down to the bone.
"Ugh," Saurus groaned as he let go of Steven and fell on the ground as his body sizzled with heat.
"S-Saurus!" Steven was thankfully unharmed by the attack, but it didn't seem to bother the poor boy as he rushed over to Saurus's side and sobbed. "I'm so sorry, Saurus!" Steven cried out as Saurus groaned and opened his eyes as he gave Steven a small smile, even though his body was sizzling with pain.
"Steven, it's fine. I'm going to be okay." Saurus says, rather calmly for someone who was splashed with acid as Steven shook his head stubbornly.
"No, Saurus, you're not okay! I-I mean look at you're...you're..." Steven didn't get to finish as he started crying again.
"Steve, look at me," Saurus says, but Steven ignored him as he continued sobbing. "I said, look at me! I'm not going to die because my back is already starting to heal!" Saurus screams as Steven tearfully looks up, and Saurus points at his back as Steven looked over to where he was pointing and gasps in amazement as he saw Saurus's back slowly stitching itself back together. "Pretty cool, right?" Saurus asked while standing up as he gave the young hybrid a smirk.
"H-How?"
"Perks of having a healing factor, I guess. Still hurts like a bitch, though."
"Swear," Steven says, feeling a little better as Saurus rolled his eyes playfully.
"Don't you start with me," Saurus says before stretching his body as Saurus was thankful to see that the majority of his more serious injuries were partially healed by this point. "Now, if you excuse me, I have some unfinished business to take care of," Saurus says while walking towards the Giant Centipeetle as Steven stared at him with stars in his eyes.
"He is so cool!" Steven says as Saurus stood behind the bug creature, who didn't notice him as she was too busy attacking the crystal gems again.
"Hey, bug-brain!" Saurus screamed before leaping at the Giant Centipeetle as he tackles her to the ground. "I'm not finished with you yet!" Saurus says while crawling over to her face as the Centipeetle struggled to lose him.
"Saurus, you're alive?!" Was the general reaction of the Crystal Gems as they were surprised yet happy to see him survive the acid, and they were even more astounded to see him recover from an injury that fast.
"We need to save him before he gets hurt again!" Pearl says, after recovering from her shock, as she was about to go and save Saurus when Garnet stops her.
"Not yet. We need to wait for an opening." Garnet says as Pearl was about to protest, but Garnet cut her off. "He got this." She says as Pearl stared at her for a couple of seconds before sighing as she nodded.
"Wow, that kid is tough!" Amethyst says as the Gems couldn't help but agree as they watch Saurus slam the mother's head into the cliff while still riding her.
"Guys!" Steven says, running towards them as Pearl hugs him.
"Steven, are you okay? Did the acid hit you?" Pearl worriedly asks as Steven shook his head.
"No, I'm fine. Saurus protected me, even though it hurt him in the process." Steven says sadly before perking up as he saw Saurus wrestling the creature into the ground. "Nice one! Go, Saurus!"
"I wonder how did he recover so fast?" Pearl asks Steven glanced at her.
"Oh, Saurus said that he has regenerative powers," Steven says nonchalantly as the gems stared at him, completely baffled.
"He has what!?" Pearl asks as Garnet placed a hand on her shoulder.
"We'll ask him later. Once, we dealt with this thing." Garnet says as Pearl nodded.
"Raaaaggghhh!" Saurus roars out as he tightens his grip on the creature's neck to suffocate her, but what he didn't know was that gems didn't need air to breathe, so, his strategy was futile as the creature grabs him with her tail and flings him to the ground. Not fazed by the attack, Saurus annoyedly growls as he stood up from the crater he made.
"Okay, I had enough of this," Saurus says before turning to the gems as he held out his hand. "Steven, give me your shield!"
"What!?"
"Summon your weapon, and throw it at me!"
"I can't! I already tried that before with Cookie Cat's, and it didn't work!" Steven says as Saurus scoffs.
"Well, of course, it didn't work, Steven! Cookie Cat's isn't the source of your power love is!" Saurus screams before jumping up as the creature spits acid at him again. "I don't have much time to explain, but love is the key to summon your weapon!" Saurus says before grabbing the Centipeetle by her pincers as he held her down. "Focus on that feeling, Steven, and I promise you that you can summon your powers!" Steven panicked a little but nodded shakily as he closed his eyes and thought about all the special people in his life, his dad, the gems, the people of Beach City, and even Saurus popped into his head as Steven's gem started glowing. The Gems collectively gasped in awe as Steven's shield appeared mid-air, and Steven caught it without looking.
"...Whoa..." Amethyst says after a moment of silence as Steven opens his eyes and smiled as he studied his shield.
"Saurus, I did it! I summoned my shield!" Steven screams as Saurus struggled to keep his hold on the mother Centipeetle.
"That's good to hear, buddy. Now throw it at me!" Saurus said as Steven smirked and threw his shield.
"Saurus, catch!" Steven shouted as Saurus easily caught the shield in mid-air and turned around towards Mother Centipeetle as he then jammed Steven's shield into her mouth just as she spits acid again as Steven and the gems could only stare at the brutal scene in shock/awe as the Mother Centipeetle thrashing around the beach while screeching in pain as Saurus landed next to them.
"Whoa, harsh," Amethyst says as Saurus turns to the Gems and smirks savagely.
"Alright, Gems, do your thing!" Saurus says as Garnet nodded.
"Right! Gems, weapons!" Garnet says as they all summoned their weapons and leap towards the giant Centipeetle. The mother didn't have time to react as the gems closed in on her and attacked! The boys watched in wonder as a giant shockwave rang out, and a dust cloud appeared.
"Whoa!" Steven says as a small Pokeball-like object fell next to Garnet's feet, and she bubbles it away.
"Well, that's handy," Saurus says, before groaning as his body started shifting, and, before you know it, Saurus had changed back into his human form. "Oh, man. Glad that's over." Saurus says before yelping as Steven tackles him into the ground.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Steven says while hugging his waist as Saurus smiles.
"I'm glad you're safe too, kid," Saurus says as the gems walked towards him with neutral looks on their faces. "So, you probably have a lot of questions, don't you?"
"That can wait," Garnet says while picking him up as he groaned in pain, still sore from that acid attack. "For now, you need some rest."
"Yeah, your probably right."
"But before we go, Saurus, how did you figure it out that Steven summons his shield through love? You only knew him for barely a day, and yet you figured it out with ease while we couldn't. How did you figure it out?" Pearl asks as the gems and Steven, waited for his answer.
"Well, actually, I couldn't have figured it out if it wasn't for you guys. After spending a day with you, I deduced that you're specific tastes and unique personalities are the secret to how you summon your weapons. Pearl, you summon your weapon through concentration and pure skill, showing you're love for being precise and graceful in a fight. Amethyst, you summon your weapon with a carefree attitude, showing you're lighthearted nature. And Garnet, you summon your weapon by...well, honestly, I have no idea, but my point still stands. After studying all of you is quite obvious that Steven summons his shield by feeling an intense emotion of love and happiness. Representing his love for all living and non-living things. Just as he showed here, and back at the Big Donut." Saurus says, finishing his long explanation as Steven and the gems stared at him, flabbergasted.
"That was...quite perspective for someone who is only a teenager," Pearl says as Saurus shrugs.
"I get that a lot." He says as Steven smiled.
"Well, I didn't understand half of that, but if what you say is true then, shield powers go!" Steven screams as he tries to summon his weapon but failed. "Hey, why isn't it working?" He whined as Saurus chuckled.
"Dude, you may have been able to summon your shield today, but it's going to take a long time for you to master your gem. So, you're probably not going to be able to summon you're shield yet for quite some time."
"Aw, man!" Steven sighs as they all walked towards the house while passing Steven's melted freezer. "Sorry for not saving your stuff, Steven." He says as Steven shrugs.
"Is all good. Besides, I have a couple of more Cookie Cat's left in the freezer anyway. Want some?"
"Steven, after fighting a giant monster with acid spit, I could defiantly go for some food." He says before looking down at his destroyed clothing. "And probably some new clothes too," Saurus says sheepishly as Steven, and the Gems laughed.
And, done! Well, that was the first chapter of Jurassic Universe. I hope it did well, it took me forever to make it, but I finally did it! Oh, and before I go if you want to know the voice actors I'm using for both Saurus and his dinosaur form, then see below.
