Ch.2
Another chapter for you guys! Oh I like to mention that this crossover is an alternative version than the actual crossover...meaning that in this story Uncle Grandpa and his friends have never met or even heard of Steven and the Crystal Gems before or their culture, much longer plot, etc. It's in the summary just in case you missed it..just putting it out there. And there will be some things that are different too.
The RV came out of the portal which it closed shut almost immediately, soaring towards the travel warp with the metal still creaking and groaning. As the RV entered inside, it went in at a dangerous angle and it was too quick, reaching the other side but it stopped as the whole entire front end is outside of the warp except for the door.
The whole crew were busy yelling the whole time.
Mister Gus struggled to get his feet as the way the RV tilted makes it difficult to do so. Every single thing is sliding down while Uncle Grandpa, Pizza Steve and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger are busy dodging the incoming obstacles. He managed to catch a glimpse out of the window which nothing but stars, more travel warps, and swirling clouds. At the windshield, ice is beginning to creepily form and into the driver's seat.
They need to abandon the RV as it was scraping down against the wall of the warp.
Mister Gus knew this is gonna be a tough choice but they don't want to be lost in this endless void. They didn't come this far to get lost. He looked back at the crew and shouted
"Guys! I know this sounds crazy but we have to leave the RV behind!" The crew looked at him in shock with mouths open. Pizza Steve jumped onto a nearby desk and pointed at him with a mix of upset and sorrowful expression written on his face.
"Uh uh! No way Mister Gus, I worked hard for those trophies!" he yelled "I'm going to-ahh!" He was grabbed by Mister Gus, who looked angry "Oh you're going alright!" He stumbled towards the door. Uncle Grandpa was still looking at them but Belly Bag snapped him into reality "Uncle Grandpa! We have to go now!"
"Right! Come on Tiger!" He activated his propeller and flew towards Mister Gus and Pizza Steve followed by Giant Realistic Flying Tiger still dodging any leftover objects. The green dinosaur swung the door open and see a rushing river of sparkling blue and white color. They both gasped "What is this place?" Pizza Steve interrogated
Mister Gus is admiring the sights "I don't know Pizza Steve..some kind of traveling tube...woah!" They were shoved outside by Uncle Grandpa and Tiger and they all fell out starting to suspend in mid-air after a few seconds. "Wow this is amazing!" Belly Bag babbled "Where are we?"
"Mister Gus said a traveling tube!" Pizza Steve assumed
Uncle Grandpa examined the wall "A magical one...hmm why does this seems familiar?" He pondered, eyes narrowing then he shrugged "Musta been a dream"
"Guys! The RV!" Pizza Steve screeched pointing at the vehicle which almost completely gone, still trying to leave and he tried swimming up but he stayed in the same place "Why I can't go up!"
"We can't go up! We can go only down smart one!" Belly Bag blurted out
"Well we have to do something! That's the only thing we have left!"
"Roar!" Went the Tiger
"Just leave it!"
"Wait! I got it you guys!" Uncle Grandpa head came off with a lengthy arm underneath it, going towards the RV, chomped down on the ladder on the back. Pulling it hard as he can which is not a good idea. The bolts started to shoot out of the holes, making the ladder groan and latch off, one by one.
CLUNK! It finally bolted off. The whole crew were in shock.
"Darn it...foo!" He spit it out and the RV is now completely gone, drifting towards the Earth in a slow pace..burning into a ball of fire as it sped up. "Ah man..." Uncle Grandpa returned his head to his body
The UG crew all started to slump their heads down.
"Well there goes our ride..." Pizza Steve spoke in a depressed tone "And my trophies"
"This is bad...really bad" Belly Bag panicked
"Great now most of my workout equipment are gone" Mister Gus added
"My peanut butter..." Uncle Grandpa said holding a picture of a peanut butter bottle that says "With Love" on the bottom inside of a heart "I would never see you again...probably"
Giant Realistic Flying Tiger did a noise that sounded like sad whimpering. Suddenly, there is another blinding light. They all closed their eyes for a demise.
Beach City...evening time
Steven decided to eat some of the usual bits he gets from Peedee instead of donuts, carrying three bags to share with the Crystal Gems. Now, he's walking back home, reaching the beach. "I wonder if Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet would like these bits? I think they will like it...maybe except Pearl" He remembered that she hates eating food.
As he reached his home, there is a bright flash emerging from the windows "Alright they're back! Back so soon I guess" He raced towards home, up the path and up the stairs into his home. "Pearl! Garnet! Amethyst! I'm hom-" He gasped, dropping the bags.
It wasn't them as he sees a short man with a weird shaped head and mustache, wearing black overalls and a white top shirt with rainbow suspenders, big pink nose, propeller hat with a red fanny pack. A green, tall glum-looking dinosaur with a white tank top, a slice of pizza and a large tiger. Their eyes are shut tighter than a bank vault...with actual tiny bank vaults over their eyes
The pizza slice spoke first "Are we dead yet?"
The dinosaur replied "No, we're not..we wouldn't be if we were"
"Uh guys, open your eyes...there's a kid here" Belly Bag whispered
"A kid?" They shot their eyes open, automatically seeing Steven who is startled, staring at them. "Good morning!" Uncle Grandpa greeted, both hands in the air
"Uh...hi?" Steven talked back in an uneasy tone, he has a nervous stance "Wh-who are you guys?"
"I'm your Uncle Grandpa!" He suddenly appeared in front of him, smiling with hands at his hips
"My uncle grandpa?" The half-human, half-gem is pretty dazed at this point
"Yep, not just your uncle grandpa...he's everybody in the world's uncle and grandpa" Mister Gus explained "When he comes to visit, it will be a time you'll never forget"
Steven is still a bit jumbled "Oh I see..uh Uncle Grandpa who are they?"
"These guys are my friends!" Uncle Grandpa informed, pointing to them with a finger coming from above "This is Mister Gus, Pizza Steve, Belly Bag and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger!" He discovered that she is no longer realistic looking "Oh" he chuckled "Never mind it's just Giant Flying Tiger...so what's your name kid?"
Steven cleared his throat "Uh my name's Steven...Steven Universe it's nice to meet you all and welcome to Beach City!" he threw his hands in the air, grinning
Giant Flying Tiger made a confused growl
"Beach City?" Belly Bag asked
"Yeah, it's a pretty cool place..all my friends live here, there's a beach nearby and lots of stores to go here" He declared
The whole crew seems interested "That sounds pretty outstanding Steven" said Mister Gus
"Heh it sure does" Belly Bag retorted "But where are we? This place seems pretty cozy" He sees how decent sized the place is...that could some serious decoration
"This is my home where I can relax here if I'm not doing anything important" Steven grinned
"You mind if we check this place out?" Mister Gus suggested
"Sure go right ahead" Steven gladly accepted the offer, the gang stepped off the warp pad, and split up exploring and analyzing the house. Steven was a little unsure about having strangers roaming around but they seem like nice people...or things whatever you prefer.
They started to look at his books and other things. "Who are these people? Did the message gemstone brought them here? Wait..if the message gemstone brought them here are they Gems? Probably not...but I'm going to find out" he thought
20 minutes later...
"So this is your home right Steven?" Pizza Steve wondered "Its very nice"
"Thanks Pizza Steve, and yes this is where I live" He answered
"You live here by yourself?" Belly Bag blurted out
"No, I live here with my three other friends..guardians of this planet actually"
Pizza Steve went to the fridge to search for some ice cream, Giant Flying Tiger was getting comfy on the couch trying to find a comfortable position while Mister Gus is still observing the paintings but he didn't see the one directly above the main entrance. "Guardians huh?" Uncle Grandpa's head appeared by Steven hovering using the propeller which made him jump "Woah! Where's your body?"
"Right here" His body walked under his head and popped back in place. "That's cool..and weird..so how did you guys all end up here?" Steven inquired "Are you guys Gems too? Only strange ones?"
Pizza Steve just finished eating some ice cream, as there is ice cream smeared all over his cheesy skin appearing on Uncle Grandpa's shoulder "Okay bro, this may sound a little crazy to you but this blue stone stone thing just happen to crash my party in our world out of nowhere, then this screen hologram thing with an alien woman on it blabbed about a Homeworld or something wanting Gems to come here and we saw two other aliens too"
"Alien woman?" Steven wondered
"Yeah, this one woman has a pointy nose, pointy hair that made her look like a bird or something and she has a stone on her forehead" confided Mister Gus
"One was short, has purple skin, long white hair and a stone on her chest" Belly Bag added
"Other one was tall, dark blue and orchid colored, has a square shaped hair and cool fancy shades" Uncle Grandpa took on the appearance of the description, then returned to normal
"And no we are not Gems" said Mister Gus "We're just regular folk"
Tiger did a grunt that sounded like "Uh huh"
Steven put the picture together, he knew who are they speaking about "Oh you're talking about Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst!" The whole crew were puzzled "Is that who they are?" said Pizza Steve
"Yeah they're the Crystal Gems!"
As soon as he said that, the travel warp activated again, with the same pixel-looking light that brought the UG group. It was them, then they all gasped when they looked ahead with horrified faces. "Hey guys!" Steven chimed
"Good morning!"
"Steven! Get away from them!" Pearl commanded as she summoned her spear, Amethyst took out her whip and Garnet readied her gauntlets.
"Bad morning..."
Steven's eyes widen, knowing they will attempt to attack Uncle Grandpa and his friends, the defensive side of him kicked in gear. He spread his arms out to try to protect them, if only he can summon his shield however but he couldn't. "Guys wait! They're not what you think they are! They're not enemies!" He begged but the Gems ignored him anyway, Amethyst wrapped him up and reeled him in like a big fish, setting him beside the warp pad. "Oof!" he landed with a painful thud "Guys don't hurt them!" he begged again. Garnet leaped in front of Giant Flying Tiger, ready to fight her while Tiger backed away trying to defend herself.
Pearl and Amethyst has cornered Uncle Grandpa and Mister Gus to the wooden wall beside the front door. The man and the dinosaur both gulped, sweat pouring down from their faces as the sharp end of Pearl's spear shined in front of Uncle Grandpa's face. "Who are you? What do you want with our Steven?" She demanded. "Or we use force!"
The reality-warping entity gulped again, too nervous to say anything as he looked at the woman with a angry, motherly look on her face. They were getting a bit impatient as the purple one shouted "Well, are you gonna answer us or not?"
"Say Mister Gus..you better tell them" Uncle Grandpa said
"Uh...I can spare you the details if you can put your weapons down" Mister Gus smiled anxiously. Pearl put on a un-amused look, but she sheathed her weapon. "Fine..you may sit on the couch and start talking" she said in a serious tone.
They both sighed in relief.
There ya go! That was chapter 2...the Uncle Grandpa crew has some explaining to do...where did Pizza Steve go? Find out in the next chapter of Uncle Universe!
