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 5: The enhancement gem

Pearl: What are we going to do? Walk in there, ask "Hey can we borrow your captive blood rival?", then just fly off while they wave us goodbye?

Amethyst: Well when you say it like that...

Garnet: Not to mention one of them was enough to overwhelm the 4 of us. Noland, how many of them are there?

Noland: 3. There is the Falconer, the Tracker, and their leader, the Berserker. He is the most powerful of all the Super predators.

Amethyst: And if the small one is a prisoner, then they are gonna keep him well protected.

Garnet: I think I know something that can help. On every planet, there is a special gem that drastically increases the power of any gem being. It is called the Enhancement gem. The problem is, once we use it, we lose all self control. Anything without a gem is considered a kill-on-sight target. Which puts Noland at risk. And it only lasts about 15 minutes.

Steven: That's only if we see him. He has a cloaking device like the Super Predators. As long as he keeps it on, he should be safe.

Pearl: Where do we find this, Enhancement gem.

Noland: Does it have rainbow stripes, and give off a radiant glow?

Garnet: Yes.

Noland: It's in the Super Predator's camp.

Gems: What?!

Noland: They use it as a power source for their weapons and fuel. If someone were to distract them, how much time would you need to power up?

Garnet: Not much. We just need to touch it with our gems. It happens on contact.

Noland: I'll do the distraction. They are strong, but not very bright.

Pearl: Then it's settled.
