A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twenty-two of this story. Here, the Homeworld Gems try again.

Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe

It was a beautiful day in Beach City. Lars Barriga walked down the streets with a smile on his face. As he reached the beach, he saw Sadie Miller waiting. Lars crept up behind her.

"Hello." said Lars.

Sadie yelped in surprise.

"Lars! Don't scare me like that!" cried Sadie.

Sadie gave Lars a gentle push.

"Sorry. I couldn't help it." replied Lars.

"You're lucky I love you." said Sadie.

"I know." said Lars.

The two shared a kiss.

"So, what do you want to do?" asked Lars.

"Good question." answered Sadie.

Sadie rubbed her chin.

"We can hang out here." proposed Sadie.

"Fine by me." shrugged Lars.

The two walked hand in hand and sat down in the sand.

"We should have brought a towel." mused Lars.

"We survived stranded on that island so I don't think this will be too bad." mused Sadie.

Lars let out a laugh.

"How can I forget that?" asked Lars.

"I did enjoy our time together." admitted Sadie.

Lars put his arm around Sadie.

"So did I." said Lars.

The two shared a kiss.

"I love you." said Sadie softly.

"Same here." replied Lars.

The two shared another kiss.

"So...should we just sit?" asked Sadie.

"I guess." answered Lars.

Lars looked around.

"There's an open bench." noted Lars.

The two walked over and sat on the bench.

"It's beautiful today." said Sadie.

"Not as beautiful as you." said Lars.

Sadie giggled embarrassed.

"You know...Steven isn't here." whispered Lars.

Sadie's face turn red as a tomato.

"Lars! There are other people here!" squeaked Sadie.

Lars let out a loud laugh.

"You're cute when you're embarrassed." said Lars.

Sadie gave Lars a gentle shove.

"You know I'm only having fun." said Lars.

"Lars, you're lucky I love you." replied Sadie.

"Don't remind me." said Lars.

Lars kissed Sadie on the cheek.

"Do you want something to eat?" asked Lars.

"I could eat." answered Sadie.

"Just tell me what you want." replied Lars.

"I don't know. Tell me what you want." said Sadie.

"Not hungry." shrugged Lars.

Sadie rubbed the back of her head.

"The pink zombie thing." muttered Sadie.

Lars gulped.

"Sadie, are you really okay with this? With me?" asked Lars.

Before she could answer, Lars had a can hit the back of his head.

"Ow!" cried Lars.

"Are you okay?" asked Sadie worried.

"Yeah." answered Lars.

The Ruby Squad would assemble in front of Lars.

"Found you scum!" exclaimed Doc.

"That was your runts." mused Lars annoyed.

"My projectile inflicted damage!" declared Army joyous.

Lars stood up.

"It only hurt a little." noted Lars.

Lars turned his head.

Sadie, you might want to go." said Lars.

"But Lars..." began Sadie worried.

Go!" demanded Lars.

Sadie jumped to her feet.

"I won't leave you!" declared a passionate Sadie.

Sadie looked at the Ruby Squad.

"There are five of them and only one of you." said Sadie.

"I've been training." shrugged Lars.

"You don't have a weapon." said Sadie.

"That could be a problem." admitted Lars.

"Lars. I am staying right here." stated Sadie.

Lars blinked and took a moment.

"I don't want you getting hurt." stated Lars.

Lars rubbed her hand over his scar.

"Please..." said Lars.

"Can I get Steven and the others?" asked Sadie.

"Good idea." answered Lars.

Sadie jumped up and ran off.

"Hey!" cried Doc.

Doc turned to the other Ruby Squad members.

"Stop her!" demanded Doc.

Lars whistled which caught the attention of the Ruby Squad.

"You're dealing with me." stated Lars.

Doc balled her right hand into a fist and slammed it into her left palm.

"Right! We can't get distracted!" declared Doc.

"Amethyst was right about them being dumb." thought Lars amused.

The Ruby Squad began closing in on Lars.

"We won't fail." said Navy coldly.

"We'll crush you." said Army firmly.

"Yeah." said Leggy nervously

"First you...then Rose Quartz." said Eyeball.

"Hurry up guys." thought Lars.

"You're finish." said Doc.

An idea quickly came to Lars.

"Oh man!" gasped Lars.

Lars pointed behind the Ruby Squad.

"Is that your Diamond?" asked Lars.

The Ruby Squad turned around and saluted.

"My Diamond!" exclaimed the Ruby Squad.

The Ruby Squad looked around and saw nobody there.

"Is she invisible?" asked Leggy confused.

"Don't be stupid!" snapped Army.

Army bent her head toward Doc.

"Can she do that?" asked Army.

Doc scratched her head.

"I'm not sure..." muttered Doc.

"Hey!" cried Eyeball.

Doc noticed Lars running off.

"Get him!" ordered Doc.

The Ruby Squad began giving chase until a shield landed on the ground.

"Lars!" cried Steven.

Lars happily turned to see Steven, Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst and Bismuth race over to him.

"I'm glad to see you." said Lars.

As the others reached him, Lars spotted Sadie watching from the Temple patio. Lars gave her a thumbs up and she waved back.

"Here." said Pearl.

Pearl pulled a sword out of her gem.

"This is yours." said Pearl.

Pearl handed the sword to Lars.

"Thanks." said Lars.

"I can't believe this!" exclaimed Doc.

The other gems drew their weapons.

"Where are the others?" asked Amethyst.

"I haven't seen Aquamarine or Emerald." answered Lars.

"They might be waiting in ambush." mused Bismuth.

"I don't think so." replied Garnet.

The Ruby Squad was confused over what to do.

"Maybe we should retreat." proposed Leggy meekly.

"No surrender!" declared Army.

"It's five on five now." stated Navy.

"Should we tell them there's six of us?" asked Amethyst.

"Nah." answered Lars.

Eyeball silently stared down Steven.

"Ready?" asked Doc.

The Ruby Squad withdrew knives from their gems.

"Ready." answered Eyeball, Navy and Army.

"Oh, ready." answered Leggy nervous.

The other rolled their eyes.

"Attack!" cried Doc.

The Ruby Squad charged the gems. Eyeball jumped and tried to stab Steven, but Steven blocked with her sword.

"You." growled Eyeball.

Navy tried to stab Lars, but he managed to dodge her attacks.

"Right foot. Left foot. Keep your eyes on me." whispered Lars.

"What are you saying?" asked Navy confused.

Lars used this change to take the offense driving a surprised Navy back.

Steven smiled at Lars.

"Good work." said Steven happily.

"I'll avenge My Diamond!" declared Eyeball.

Eyeball attacked Steven who found himself having trouble fighting her back.

"Damn." whispered Lars.

Lars rolled over and managed to grab the shield without being stabbed.

"Steven!" cried Lars.

Lars threw the shield which Steven caught.

"Thanks!" cried Steven.

Steven used his shield to block attacks from Eyeball. Seeing his chance, Steven slashed at the wrist of Eyeball forcing her to drop her knife.

"No!" cried Navy.

Seeing his chance, Lars did the same and was able to disarm Navy.

"Yes." said Lars.

As Pearl fought Doc and Garnet fought Eyeball, Leggy found herself facing Amethyst.

"So, we gonna do this?" asked Amethyst.

Amethyst noticed her knees where shaking.

"I don't want to fight you if you're like this." said Amethyst.

Really?!" asked Leggy hopeful.

"Fight!" demanded Doc.

Leggy gulped and slowly began walking to Amethyst.

"Shatter her!" demanded Army.

KLeggy charged, but Amethyst wrapped her in her whip.

"Uh oh." said Leggy.

Amethyst pulled the whip back quickly causing Leggy to spin like a top. Leggy knocked down the other four Ruby Squad members.

"I don't feel good." said Leggy queasy.

The Ruby Squad where caught in a blue aura.

"There you idiots are." said Aquamarine.

"Oh boy." said Navy.

"I can't believe you tried something like this." said Aquamarine annoyed.

Aquamarine turned to the Crystal Gems.

"We'll deal with you later." said Aquamarine.

With that, Aquamarine left with the Ruby Squad.

A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. The Ruby Squad tried something, but did they do worse then they did before? Look, I am really struggling with this. I think the lack of content is draining me. So, if nothing comes up after this that is why. Next time, the aftermath of this. Please review.
