Steven was quietly sobbing to himself, not wanting to get blue diamond's attention. This may be the last time he will ever see his family again. He'll never be able to pull pranks with Amethyst or eat her incredibly disgusting food concoctions. He won't be able to train with Pearl anymore. He never admitted it but he liked it when pearl watched him sleep, to him he felt safe. He'll never forget about Garnet and how he came to see her as his mom. His thoughts then shifted to his dad and the childhood his dad will never experience with him. All these thoughts brought tears to his eyes.
I just wished I could have said goodbye.
He then thought about Connie and it brought tears to his eyes that he'll never be able to watch under the knife with her ever again. Connie is going to be so heartbroken when she hears the news.
Blue Pearl watched steven with sympathy. She wanted to tell her diamond that taking steven was a bad idea but she couldn't say anything. What diamond would take advice from a pearl.
Blue diamond did not realize the emotional trauma she was inflicting on the human. All she could think about was steven bringing new meaning to her life again.
"Oh Pink, if only you met this human child."
Before long, the ship arrived at pink diamond's zoo. Steven looked at the zoo and was astonished by it's size. What he didn't realize was that this was a zoo for humans. The armship docked and the door opened.
Blue diamond with steven in hand and blue pearl walked out of the ship toward two Amethysts. They took one look at steven and had confused looks on their faces. They believed they were to stop taking humans after pink diamond's shattering.
"Amethysts"
"Yes blue diamond?" They both said in cue
"Take this human to the assimilation bay so he can be put in the zoo."
"Of course Blue Diamond." Again in cue
Steven was given to the Amethysts and with that, they left for the zoo. Steven was held in the Amethyst with her gem on her right arm. He glanced up at her and she glanced at him as well.
"Do you have a name human?"
"Yes, Steven"
"Well Steven, you're lucky to be here. Otherwise, you would have been killed by the cluster.
"Huh? Oh yeah right!"
The Amethyst looked at him funny but didn't make any problem of it.
They got to the assimilation bay where the Amethyst with her gem on her left arm pressed a button that opened a small door. Steven was put in the assimilation bay and the door closed behind him.
"Have fun in the zoo"
The floor beneath steven then moved steven on what appeared to be a conveyer belt. Then robotic hands started coming out and taking all of steven's clothes off him.
"Hey give those back!"
Then in front of steven was a giant crusher.
"What the!"
Steven started running in the opposite direction but it was no use. The crusher came down on steven seemingly crushing him. Instead, steven was in new clothes with a pair of earrings on his ears. The conveyer belt stopped and steven was put between two panes of glass.
"What now?"
A hole opened up underneath steven and soon, steven was underwater. Struggling for breath, steven saw light above him and swam toward it. He was soon above water, taking in deep breaths, not knowing the his gasps were being heard by the zoo's inhabitants.
A blonde woman was weaving flowers when she saw steven. Her face was filled with delight at the newest zoo member. She walked up to steven slowly as to not scare him away.
Steven was regaining his breath when he was covered by a shadow. Looking up, he was astonished at the sight of another human.
"Why hello there, what's your name?" the woman said with a smiling name
"My name is Steven. Steven Universe"
"Hello Steven, my name is J-10 and welcome to your new home."
"What is this place?"
"This is our happy home where we don't have to worry about anything at all."
"Are you from Earth or were you born here?"
"What is this earth you speak of?"
"It's where all humans come from, including me."
"How interesting. Come join the others so we can hear about your stories as well" J-10 extended her hand to steven which steven took.
"Sure"
J-10 and steven with both hands together went to the others.
Next chapter, steven will learn more about the zoomans and what they do day to day.
