Chapter 1:where's my gem?! A new world awaits.

-Mt. Paozu-

The young boy awoke, remembering what happened almost immediately, the rubies, the black hole, he wondered for a moment, how he could have survived, His closest friend had told him that that kind of gravity would suck in and crush even beams of light, and yet here he was.

Questions for later , he supposed. For now he was hungry. He sat up before realizing he was in the middle of some jungle, well, that isn't right.
He got up, his body sore and stiff.

He clutched his stomach, noticing something missing, in mild panic he lifted his shirt and noticed his gem was missing.
"Oh my gosh!" he shouted before hearing one of his friends.

"Steven?!, where are you?"

He looked around in slight panic "Pearl?!" He shouted back."Where are you?"

"Follow my voice Steven!"

Doing as told he searched around as one of his three maternal substitutes called out for him, soon enough finding her along with three familiar faces, all of which asleep, injured...and human?

"Guys?" he looked toward them, then pearl "What happened? Where are we?"

"I don't know, are you okay Steven?" of course her thoughts would go to him first.

"Yeah"He sat down taking a breath "Are Lapis and Peridot here too?" he asks, starting to calm down.

"No I haven't seen them, I'm just glad you're okay."She smiles some, patting Steven's head.

"so why's Garnet split up?" he looks at Pearl questioningly.

"Well, whatever happened, it made us human, and you know humans can't fuse."

He nods."That makes sense." he walked to the others."should I wake them up? Are they okay?"

"I'm sure they're fine." pearl says. "they're breathing, at least."

In the distance, An explosion could be heard, the other three jerked awake.

-Mt. Paozu desert.-

Lapis groaned, sitting up, mouth dry, She looked around, trying to find the noise that had woken her.

She stood up, nearly loosing her balance."ugh..." She tried to spout her wings, but couldn't, she groaned as she crouched down, her hair falling in front of her face.

It was black, that couldn't be, her hair was blue, it always had been, and then she noticed her skin tone, it was that of a human's, most notably the same as Steven's friend whom she had only ever seen once.

"What happened?" she whispered to herself as she began walking.

Elsewhere, a little boy was defending himself a fierce foe, almost mimicking him in terms of combat ability.
"wolf fang fist!" The bandit shouted as his foot slammed into the child's cheek, before unleashing a flurry of strikes to the boy's face, the manner of which almost resembled tiger style kung-fu.

The kid crashed into stone pillars, but eventually manage to catch himself before he hit the ground, he rushed back to fight this thief.

Lapis heard this clash from not too far off, and even saw the boy fly through the air. She ran over to see exactly was going on.

As she arrived the criminal was about to use his deadly attack a second time, but as she came into his view, he froze in his tracks.

"U-uh... Gotta run" He said as he pulled a small piece of plastic from his belt ,he tossed it to the ground causing a large poof of smoke, and as that smoke cleared there was some mechanical thing, she didn't recognize what it was exactly.
The man, red-faced as a homeworld ruby, hopped onto it and rode off.
"huh, that happened."She raised a brow as the younger of the two combatants looks at her.
"Um, Excuse me miss, but who are you?" He asks in a tone that reminded her of a certain someone.
"My name is Lapis, Lapis Lazuli."

The boy nods "I'm Kakarot, But my grandpa used to call me Son Goku."

-Mt. paozu-

The gems, now awake, walk to the source of the explosion, they may have not had much power anymore, but they were still going to do their best to protect humans and other life on the planet.
They had been on their march for about an hour now.

"Ugh I hate being human! My feet are tired." Amethyst complained, she never had to deal with this when she was literally made of light.

"Amethyst, I know how you feel, but we have to see what happened, and help if necessary."

The young plump woman pouted. "Yeah, well, it's not like any of us are used to being made of squishy junk, other than Steven. Heck Ruby and Saphire didn't even come along!"

"Because they are physically younger than Steven now that they're human, they'd get tired far faster."

This only lead to amethyst groaning, pearl had a point.

Not long after, they got to the sight, young man with long, black , spiked, hair and some kind of battered armor was bleeding profusely on the ground, around him the corpses of plantlike monsters.

"What on earth?..." peal whispered as steven ran over to check on the adult.

"Hey! Pearl , amethyst!, this guy has a tail!"

AN: okay, I get the grammar might not have been too great here. But i've not had much practice with it
