The New Hunting Grounds

by Electivecross02

Taking place after "The Hunt Continues", Steven and the Crystal Gems find themselves on a strange new planet. They later find the planet is a huge game reserve, and they are the game. They are being hunted by a new breed of hunter called the Super Predators. With no spaceship, no help, and 3 monsters hunting them across the planet, survival for the Crystal gems seems bleak.

Chapter 4: Meet Noland

Garnet: Steven, lately you've been coming up with a lot of crazy ideas. This one is your "beyond insane" idea.

Steven: This place is basically a big Game reserve. And we are the game. If they brought us here to hunt us, they need a way to get off this planet so they could find more game.

Human: It's not as easy as it may seem.

The gems looked behind them to see a cloaked human uncloak himself, and take off his makeshift mask.

Steven: Who are you?

Noland: The name's Noland. I might be able to help you.

Garnet: What can you do to help us?

Noland: When you've lived on this planet for over a decade, you pick up on how the hunters work. I take it based on your injuries you encountered the big ones?

Pearl: Yes. Why do you ask?

Noland: Because they are in no way like the smaller one's you're friends with. The two groups hate each other, actually.

Steven: That's why when I showed him my mark it made him angrier.

Noland: Besides, even if you could take their ship, you need someone to fly it. They like to capture the small hunters. If you free one, he can help you fly the ship to your home planet.

Amethyst: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
