Chapter 1: The Gem and the Trix
The scene opens to view the beautiful scenery of Beach City , a small metropolis area located on the beach coast next to the largest cliff in the world that contains a lighthouse and a mysterious statue on its end. The scene then cuts to one of the chain bakeries known as The Big Donut , a local bakery that sells sugary treats, drinks and other foods or beverages appropriate for the beach. It was a pretty small building, with a large plastic donut on the ruff.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed a young boy which comically echoed across the area and even caused a quake for dramatic effect. The scene switched to a cat-themed ice box and a young boy named Steven Universe staring dead center at the empty trays.
He's a short ten year old with a thick, stocky build. He was wearing a dark pink Hawaiian shirt that had stars instead of flower patterns on it with a big star on the belly of the shirt. He also wore blue jeans with light blue on the bottom and salmon-pink sandals with a small yellow star on each one. Steven has black puffy hair and his most notable feature is his pink glowing eyes that seemed to slightly glow.
"This can't be happening! It has to be a dream!" shouted the boy as he turned away and clamped his hands on his curly hair.
"Can I pinch you just to be sure?" asked a computerized voice coming from the boy's pink watch on his right wrist.
On Steven's right wrist is an alien device called the Omnitrix , it had the appearance of a dark pink armband and watch, with several layers of dark pink metal on top of each other, with two tubes going on each side of the device glowing with green energy. In the center is a black and grey dial with green buttons around it, in the center is an hourglass design screen glowing with green energy. The dial popped out and the first layer of metal attached to the dial glowed before changing shape into a small robotic form, making the upper half a small dark pink, black and yellow robot.
He has long robotic arms with wires connecting his black shoulders to his large yellow hands, which have dark pink claws. On the chest area is the Omnitrix's activation button, with the chest being dark pink on top and light pink below the button. The two green tubes on the device are now connecting the robot's arms to his head, which is the Omnitrix dial attached to a dark metal neck. He had stars on his shoulders, and a large one on his torso.
The Omnitrix robot held out his pincer then pitched the boy, which caused him to recoil in pain.
"Ow!" the boy whined with tears, then turned and checked the ice box, only for it to still be empty. "NOOOOO!" he screamed again while falling to his knees with tears going down his face. This was not a bad dream, it was a horrible reality.
"Then it's not a dream." chimed the little robot, though feeling sorry for his partner. "Sorry Steven, I know how much you liked that ice cream." said the Omnitrix with sympathy.
Steven dried his tears as he looked around and rushed to the first person he saw.
"Lars! Lars, please tell me there's more!" begged Steven as he tackled the older teenager, Lars Barriga, and hugged his waist.
Lars is lanky and somewhat tall. He wears tunnels in his stretched earlobes. His curly, orange-brown hair is styled into a sort of mohawk. He usually wears a white-gray long-sleeved shirt with a green shirt sporting a snake design over it along with a pair of ripped, black jeans. In regards to his shoes, Lars is often seen wearing mint and dark-blue high top sneakers.
At the Big Donut, his work uniform is a violet T-shirt with a half-eaten donut design on it worn over a pale cream long-sleeved shirt.
"Get off me, man! I'm stocking here!" said Lars as he broke away and carried a box of ice cream to the nearest ice box. The teenage girl at the counter, named Sadie , glanced down at the boy with sympathy.
"I'm sorry, Steven, but they stopped making them." she apologised.
Sadie is short and heavyset, with curly blonde hair. She works at the Big Donut, so she is usually seen wearing the uniform. Her uniform consists of a periwinkle polo underneath a purple shirt, which displays the Big Donut logo (an image of a half-eaten donut that resembles the letters "B' and 'D').
She wears black leggings and pink-red shoes. Her casual outfit is a dull pink jacket, green shirt, black leggings and pink-red shoes.
"Stop making them!?" baffled Steven. "Why in the world would they stop making Cookie Cat ?! They're only the most scrumptious and delicious ice cream sandwich they ever make! Don't they have laws for this?!" he argued in dismay.
"Why would they need laws for food products, besides the normal regulations and safety standards?" the AI asked with his face turned into a question mark. "Plus, aren't there other ice cream sandwiches? Maybe you could-" before the Omnitrix could continue, Steven cut him off.
"No Trix , Cookie Cat is so much better than those lame products!" whined Steven. Lars kneels down and starts stocking the products as he gave an annoyed sigh.
"Eh it was nice, but I'd prefer if they replace the dark chocolate cookie sandwich with vanilla and strawberry ice cream inside" suggested the AI as he showed an image of said idea with a hologram from his Omnitrix face.
Steven looked at the image and felt better, he thought the idea was a nice one, but before he could tell his partner that Lars said something that caught their attention.
"Tough business dude, nobody buys them anymore. Guess they couldn't compete with Lion Lickers." he states with displeasure in his tone on the said product, which was inside the fridge on the corner.
It's a lion-shaped ice cream with gumball eyes. Steven approached it and groaned in dismay. Steven had tried the frozen treat a few times in the past, with each time being disappointed with the lack of flavor and over melted appearance.
"Still Mister Personality aren't you Lars, you must have so many girls going after ya don't cha? " mocked Trix in a laughing toned voice while also giving Lars a stare. The teen turned his head and looked annoyed by the little Tincan.
"Oh shut it you pile of junk, before I turn you into scrap metal!" Lars threatened. Trix then looked like he was going to do something drastic before Steven said something, which was lucky for Lars because Trix had his tasers on high.
"Uggh, not Lion Lickers. Nobody likes them. They don't even look like lions." complained Steven as the product shows the ice cream looks half-melted and the face was dis-formed.
"Kids these days! I tell you what!" he huffed as he placed his fists on his hips. Trix decided to calm down and look at the ice cream with his partner as well.
"Yea, they do seem unappealing, don't they?" agreed Trix.
He analyzed the frozen treat and checked the internet with his database, finding out that Lion Licker is on the top ten list for least popular deserts in the country. Lars finished stocking the freezer and began walking back with the empty cardboard box.
"Ha, If you want those wimpy cookies so badly, why don't you whip some up with your magic belly button or that junky swiss toolbox?" he sarcastically asked. Trix became angered by this comment.
"HEY! WHO YOU CALLING A JUNKY SWISS TOOLBOX?!" he asked, his claws shaking with anger.
Lars just smirked at the little robot, not taking him seriously at all. "Right, forgive my wrong choice of words. I meant the little Dial H wannabe." The little Omnitrix was flashing red, his claws changing to little electrical tasers with small green crystals generating the static.
"I'm a Level 20 DNA Manipulator punk, I'm more advanced than anything on this planet!" he declared.
Lars raised an eyebrow, he really had no idea what this tincan was talking about. "Oooh, level twenty. That makes you what, King of Dials?" the teen jokes, finding it amusing how the little robot is reacting. "You don't even know where you came from, how do you know your level twenty, or whatever that even means?" he asked, prompting the device's anger.
"Want to lose some more hair, big mouth!?" The robotic boy threateningly asked while charging up his tasers, ready to zap Lars through the roof.
"If you can reach me, pinhead." mocked Lars as he kept backing up whenever Trix got close with his static, the AI gasped by the rude name.
"That's it!" he began trying to move forward, forcing Steven to reluctantly step closer to Lars. "Lemme at him!"
Steven tries to keep his partner from making a serious mistake, murder was definitely not something a hero does.
"Calm down Trix, come on Lars you know that's not how the Omnitrix works." he told the teen, which is true since Steven and even Trix explained to Lars about how the device worked.
Sadie walked up next to Lars, smacking the back of his head with her apron. "Never mock the victims of amnesia, Barrigas!" she lectured, honestly tired of Lars picking on sweet little Trix. Lars just covered the back of his head with his hands, wincing in pain.
"Ow! What I say?" he asked, as if he was innocent in all this.
Trix smirked in emoji and changed his tasers back into claws. "Serve you right, jerk!" the Omnitrix mocked, pointing a claw at Lars as he was rubbing his head. He loved it when Sadie let Lars have it, how she managed to work with that clown everyday was beyond him.
Steven than looked away from Lars and at the Cookie Cat Freezer, he gave a sigh as he approached the Cookie Cat ice box and his breath clouded the glass.
"Oh, sweet Cookie Cat. Your crunchy outside, your ice creamy inside." he said as he drew a cat head on the glass, "You're too good for this world." He kissed the ice box and hugged it. Both Trix and Sadie stared at Steven in confusion and were both feeling awkward about the situation.
"Uh, Steven? Buddy, you're getting over-dramatic" Trix said but noticed he was ignored. "Steven? Steeevo?" asked the Omnitrix, trying to get his partners attention. When he saw that Steven was still not listening, he gave him a quick poke to his shoulder and tried to get his attention again. "Earth to Steven, are you there?" asked the AI.
"Uhhhh... Steven?" asked Sadie as Steven kept hugging the ice box while Trix continued to try to get his attention. Lars lends over and raised an eyebrow in a "WTF" way at Steven. "Do you want to take the freezer with you?" she asked and Steven nodded with his tearful eyes.
"Thanks Sadie, that would be nice." said Steven, wiping his tears away. Trix was happy his partner felt better.
Shortly afterward, Steven used multiple extension cords to tie the freezer on his back then he walked outside and made sure it's neatly adjusted and tight. It was a long way to their home, but both boys knew of a fast way to get there. The device on Steven's wrist not only houses his amigo Trix, but also lets the boy transform into super powered alien transformations.
"Ready, Trix?" he asked.
"Aye aye, Stevo-Doo! " saluted Trix making a Scooby Doo reference, before folding himself back on his back, the Omnitrix glowed brightly with the iconic activation beep and it rose up with the interface change to Selection Mode, which was a diamond-shape with silhouette icons and displays an icon of a four-legged creature with a large head. Steven held his hand over the core and pressed it down.
The Omnitrix gave a burst of bright green and pink energy which surrounded the whole area, causing Steven and Trix to transform into the alien form, the green light faded away, allowing everyone to see what the two boys turned into.
They turned into some kind of large canine alien, covered in orange fur. This alien was very large compared to Earth canines, being the size of a brown bear and a head as long as a crocodile. Speaking of his head, inside are razor sharp teeth and a very long purple tongue that splits at the end. On the alien's head are three yellow stripes, while on his arms and back are large pointy quills that give this form a more wild and beastly look. He has razor sharp claws, and what makes this alien more odd was that he had gills that acted as nostrils on his neck and absolutely no eyes. This alien is wearing a pink bodysuit with yellow on the sleeves, leg holes and neck opening. On his shoulders are black and dark pink metal shoulder pads, each having a hollow star at the center and a yellow stripe on the top. The dial of the Omnitrix is now located on the alien's head, while Steven's gemstone is on his belly.
"GRRRRAAAAAAAOOOWW!" howled the Vulpimancer.
"Mush Razorfang!" shouted Trix, who is now located on the Vulpinmancer's face where his eyes should be.
"Groof!" Razorfang barked and sprinted his way across the Beach City. He continued running across the path, meeting people along the way and they all immediately recognized him as Steven and greeted him. The citizens of Beach city have all accepted Steven, Trix and the Gems into their lives and Sadie even gave Steven a nickname, Steven 10.
"Hi, Steven!" greet an Indian girl dressed in a blue shirt and shorts as she waved her hand. "Keep up the great work you two!" she added before going inside one of the stores, Trix just smiled and kept looking around.
"Yo Trix, thanks for updating my computer yesterday!" shouted a man with a green shirt and yellow shorts.
"No prob, Manny." said Trix as he waved in emoji to all the people that said hi to him and Steven, the two of them really liked how people saw them as heroes.
"Wow, everyone loves our transformations." stated Trix waving at everyone. He then noticed something and panicked. "Watch out!" Razorfang screech to a halt and kicked up a huge dust cloud, blinding a man that was in their path and he started coughing while shielding his face with his arms. As the dust settled, Razorfang and Trix looked up to the man.
Though he's an adult, he's actually 19 years old. An Caucasian with a brunette shaggy hair, green eyes and has a small goatee growing. He's athletically fit with noticeable muscles, stands 5'6" and wears a unique outfit style. He's wearing a black T-shirt with the left side coloured diagonally green and a white hoodie jacket with green streaks. He wears brown military cargo pants, black/green work boots and has a utility belt. He carried a backpack full of supplies and two shopping bags. He checked his shopping bags as the Razorfang sat down like a dog does when they did something bad and whined like a dog, trying to say sorry.
"Hey chill out, its fine kid, looks like my things are ok, most of it is packaged already so the foods fine, but maybe try be careful next time ok? Vulpinmancers have great noses for a reason" he said as he walked off.
"Wow, he seemed really chill about that, thought he was gonna yell at us or something" Trix commented.
"Arrro?" whined Razorfang, Trix realised his partner was asking how the guy knew what Razorfang was..
"I told a few people in town about the names of our transformations's species, so obviously word would spread out. Come on. Mush!" beamed Trix, although he too was wondering how that new guy knew about Razorfang's species.
Razorfang continued running as he headed toward the other side of the cliff. He reached the front face of the cliff, which was revealed to have a giant statue sitting down, it had eight arms, 6 held out in an offer-esque and the lower arms fold and cradled the Beach House resting on the road. The arms that held out in the open lost 4 hands, the figure is a strange woman-like entity with long curly hair and wore a humanoid mask with an orb on the forehead and long horns. The lighthouse rests on the head.
Razorfang reached the door and the Omnitrix started beeping with red lights before he glowed with bright red energy and morphed back to his Human self, the cords didn't get stretch too badly and he opened the door.
"You really got the hang of the Omnitrix Steven, it seems like just yesterday you didn't even know how to activate it." stated the little guy, causing his partner and friend to smile as he remembered back to what he and Trix considered the best day of their lives.
"Hey guys! You wouldn't believe this—" before Steven could finish, he was suddenly tackled by a monstrous centipede-beetle-like creature with an eye inside its mouth and attempted to bite his head. "WAAAH!" he yelped as he tried to push it back.
"What the heck is that!?" shouted Trix who was helping Steven keep the monster back and preventing it from biting the boy's head.
"Quick Trix, transform us!" shouted his partner as the big insect was trying to chew their faces off their heads.
"The Omnitrix is still recharging!" shouted his robotic companion trying to get the creature off of the two of them, as the insect was trying to bite the two in half. "Bad timing for timing out!" panicked Trix before a whip clad with amethyst shards wrapped around the creature's body. The whip belongs to a short, purple skinned and plump-lip woman with a somewhat stout build.
She is wearing a black, oversized, off-shoulder tank top with three stars on the chest, two grey and one yellow with a black bra underneath. The lower half of the shirt has a stripe on each side and is yellow on the lower edge. She is wearing greyish purple leggings with yellow stars on her knees. She is wearing white shoes and has several metal stars sticking out of her long and spiky hair, each star in a different shape and color. The woman is also wearing white fingerless gloves with purple spikes on the knuckles and has a silver star on each one. On her chest half-covered lies the dark purple amethyst gemstone.
"S'up Steven." greet the woman as she yanked the creature and threw it across the room, where the household was split into a temple entrance.
There, we find another woman battling more of these creatures.
She has a slender, thin build, white-pink skin, sky-blue eyes, a pointed nose and thin lips. Her hair is light pink colored and resembles a pixie-cut in the front, while in the back, her hair leads to a point. She wears a light blue tunic with a small gold star in the center of her chest with an aqua blue vest on her shirt and a light blue skirt around her waist that is stayed in place by a yellow built with a small star belt buckle that is blue on the edge and pink in the center. On her neck was a blue neckband that had a tiny star at the front. She is wearing dark blue pants that have yellow spheres on the thighs, and are yellow on her toes.
She is currently wielding a long dark blue Spear that had a well detailed light blue blade on the end, while also having a small scythe shaped blade on the bottom. It was yellow in the middle, and had a spiked yellow ring separating the blade from the rest of the Spear. On her forehead is a light blue pearl gemstone with a golden ring around it, which has double sided spikes attached on both the gemstone and her head.
Her name was Pearl, second in command of the Crystal Gems.
"Grrraraahh!" screeched the creatures as they pounced on her but she was gracefully dancing around, swiftly batting them away from the temple entrance with her spears. She held her spear up, spun it and batted the creature across the air before it was grabbed by the third woman.
She's the tallest of all, with the gallant woman being the second, and the most muscular of the group. Like the first woman, she had plump lips and had medium, maroon colored skin, and black hair styled into a cube-shaped Afro. She wears star shaped futuristic, translucent pink/violet/light blue-tinted shades. She is also wearing a bodysuit that is dark blue on the right and dark purple on the left, with her chest armor being dark blue and shoulder pads behind dark purple.
On her right is a small light blue star on her shoulder and a large star on her thigh, the tip of her right foot is also light blue. On the left side of her outfit is dark red flames on her thigh and foot, with a small red star on that side shoulder pad like the other.
Currently she's armed with a pair of power gauntlets, the right being blue and the left being red.
"YAH!" she grunted as she swung the creature down and lift her knee, crushing its spines before throwing it against the other creatures and effortlessly punched the two away from the kitchen.
One pounced on her Afro, which she nonchalantly grabbed it and forcefully stretch both ends apart until it splits into two then poof into non-existent. She walked away as the amethyst-colored woman chased the creatures and the tall lady yanked the creature out from the table. Steven recovered and set the freezer on the couch before evading the next female warrior as she tackled the other insect.
"ROWR! Stand still, you pest!" hissed the 4th girl of the room.
She looks more human with regular peach skin and having the structure of a teenager, except she has 3 pairs of whiskers across her cheek, her irises were green and her pupils are feline-based, her hair is a wild lime-yellow and she wears a hoodie that is greyish brown on the sleeves and going down the middle on the zipper, regular brown on the middle and dark brown on the hood. She has a yellow star on the torso and two on her knees, while also wearing knee high black boots that have a white line going from top to bottom on each one.
On her right arm was a brown and white cat's eye gemstone in the shape of a cat's head, with yellow on the eyes. On her left hand was a cats claw that was black and white on the hand section, while the claws are yellow and curved.
"Nya nya nya nya NYAAAAH!" she brutally stabbed the Centipeetle non-stop before flinging them up and slashed them apart, causing the insects to poof. "Rowr~!" she grinned as she dropped in a cat stance.
"Overkill!" said Trix. He liked the action and joy of battle the Crystal Gems brought to each fight, but sometimes they don't know their own strength. He remembered one time he and Steven took the Gems to an arcade, which resulted in the entire group getting banned for life after Garnet accidentally punched the whack a mole machine into a million pieces to get the prize.
"Awesome, what are these things?" asked Steven as he sees many more creatures roaming the house and two comically watch a cartoon on TV.
"Argh... Sorry, Steven." began the tall lady as she lifted the creature up. "A lot of Centipeetle got in, It seems they're trying to get into the temple." explained the lady as she held it in choke hold. "How on earth these pests managed to infiltrate this house is beyond me." she added, not letting the creature get loose from her grip.
"Aw, no need to get rid of them. They're pretty cool." said Steven before the Centipeetle puked green slime and Steven evaded it. The slime splattered on the floor then burned through it, making a hole. The three of them gazed at it with cringed expressions.
"On second thought…exterminate them, Pearl!" exclaimed Trix. He didn't want the house to turn into a puddle of green acid, plus these things might bite everyone. The AI knew his robotic body was resistant to corrosive acid, but his partner's flesh was not.
The short purple woman kicked an Centipeetle into the wall and it lies in defeat before poofing to non-existence. "Uh, guys?" she began as she turned and started picking her nose with her pinkie. "These things don't have gemstones" she announced as she kept going on with her rather impolite task, Pearl making a disgusted face while watching her do it.
"Oh, so I didn't accidentally kill them? Cool!" beamed the cat girl as she lunged at the other Centipeetles, who screeched in fear before she pummeled them in a comical cloud of bashing. Cat's Eye knew poofing one of these creatures wasn't actually killing them, but she was a wild and primal warrior to believe in the law of the jungle.
"That means the Mother must be nearby." said the afro woman before punching the Centipeetle aside.
Garnet was always known as the toughest Gem in the group, that's why she became leader of the Crystal Gem after Steven's mother Rose Quartz gave up her psychical form.
"Nail it, Garnet!" beamed Trix before he realised what she said, " Wait, Mother? You mean these things are babies?" asked Trix.
"Somewhat. But they don't have Gems like the Mother." said Garnet as the cat girl popped up with a Centipeetle in her mouth before it poofed. After which she began licking her arm, until noticing a Centipeetle crawling on the ceiling.
"You know they're actually pretty cute, can I keep one?" asked the cat girl. The feline Gem loved animals, and these creatures would definitely be fun to have around.
"No! You certainly can't keep one!" yelled Pearl as she stabbed another one and it puffed into a green cloud of dust. "We are supposed to capture and contain Corrupted Gems , not turn them into pets!" she lectured to the feline Gem, who just rolled her eyes at the long nosed woman.
"I thought Gems were humanoid-like, aside from Cat's Eye behaving in a feline-like manner?... Ooooh wait, are you saying they're Corrupted Gems!? Yeeee, the perfect opponent!" beamed Trix. Steven and his little robotic amigo have fought many Corrupted Gems before, and it gave them a big rush as the two loved battle more than anything.
"We better find it quickly before anyone gets hurt, even these little pests could be trouble" said Pearl, squinting her eyes while looking over her shoulder. Continuing to watch Amethyst pick her nose, why a Gem actually needed to do so when they don't even produce snot was beyond her.
"Oh! Oh! Can I help? Can I? Can I?" asked Steven.
He wanted to help out the Gems whenever they had a mission or task, which mostly resulted in them telling him that he's too young. Despite the fact he had Trix and they could transform into creatures just as strong as the Gems, they still didn't want the two to get in the middle of fights.
"Steven, my sweet little dear. Until you learn how to control the power of your Gemstone" Pearl holds the Centipeetle's head then snapped it while maintaining her motherly tone, which was pretty creepy to Trix if he was being honest. "We'll take care of protecting humanity, okay?" she said with a caring shrug. Pearl was overall a very protective mother figure for Steven, although the same can't be said about her relationship with the Omnitrix's AI. Goddess knows they have butted heads on more than a few occasions, at one time literally.
"Why wait when he's got me? I can be much more help!" boasted Trix, while reminding Steven of his Omnitrix powers.
"Trix's right!" beamed Steven as he activated the Omnitrix, slamming it down and beginning to transform. Steven's bones began to elongate and reform, unnaturally changing their shape, with him gaining the height of an average Human adult male. His skin grew excessive greyish-purple fur, with tufts on his cheeks and a black stripe going down his head. His eyes became cat-like, with his pupils becoming vertical slits and irises glowing green. His teeth, fingernails, and toenails sharpened and extended to become razor-sharp fangs and claws respectively. His ears repositioned themselves atop his head and reformed to become rounded like a cat's. His clothes even began changing to become a black and pink bodysuit that covered him everywhere except for his head, hands, and feet. The yellow star on his shirt moved to his chest to become lightning marks that extended to his arms; with a yellow star on his shoulders. Around his waist was a yellow belt, with green bolts on the sides and the Omnitrix as the buckle, with Steven's gemstone on the alien's belly. Once the transformation was done, the green light faded away, allowing everyone to see what the boys had become.
"QUICKSTRIKE, watch this!" Quickstrike displayed his natural ability to move at superspeed, bashing all Centipeetle with enough force that got delayed until Quickstrike stood before the Gems and snapped his fingers. All Centipeetle screeched and poof out of existence.
"Whoa, nice one Steven!" said the plump purple woman giving the alien a thumbs up.
"Thanks Amethyst! " beamed the feline transformation. " Hey Pearl, What do you think? I got them all in one move! " the cat alien bragged, making a heroic pose as he did so.
"Aw yeah! The Dynamic Duo strikes once again!" said Trix as he popped out and started flexing. "Me and Steven are Unstoppable together!" added Trix with pride, truly proud of the amazing abilities he and his partner have when working together.
Pearl pouted at this, "Yes will, while it may be impressive, I'm sure Stevens Gem will be much better than what that watch can provide." said Pearl
"Are you serious? Come on how do you know that when we still can't unlock its powers?" Trix said which saddened Quickstrike a bit, since even many lessons from Pearl, the gem showed no power whatsoever.
"The Rose Quartz gemstone is one of the most powerful gems in the history of the Crystal Gems, it is much better, the aliens in that watch are powerful, but can't compare to Rose Quartz's abilities" Pearl stated with a bit of a condescending tone which ticked off Trix, he could see she wasn't taking the alien powers seriously.
At that moment Garnet walked behind Pearl and grabbed the back of her shirt and lifted her up. Quickstrike, Trix and the other Gems watched as Garnet turned Pearl to face her while she was being held up."Apologies now Pearl, you went too far" ordered Garnet in a neutral tone,while she didn't sound it, the others could tell she wasn't happy.
"But Garnet, I was just-" began Pearl before Garnet cut her off with a hard stare, and even though she was wearing glasses, you could tell that Garnet was glaring daggers.
Pearl sighed as she looked to Trix, "I'm sorry Trix, I didn't mean to sound rude" she said
"Apology accepted." chimed Trix, happy that Garnet had his back, Garnet then gently lowered her skinny friend to the ground and walked back to handle more of the Centipeetle. Quickstrike dashed beside Pearl, his robotic amigo still smirking at her.
"Pearl, aren't you impressed that me and Trix stopped a lot of the Centipeetle? " asked Quickstrike, wondering why she wasn't as amazed by them single handedly beating those insects like the others were.
"Not all of them, look there" she motioned with her finger before they heard clattering sounds and the feline alien turned around to see a bunch of Centipeetle poking around in the inside of the fridge.
"HEY! Get out of there!" he yelled, which the Centipeetle got startled and quickly fled when Quickstrike chased after them and spilled a gallon of milk. He stopped and picked it up before checking the fridge.
"Awww... They ate everything. NOT COOL! I WAS GONNA MAKE SNACK ROLLS" He dashed around, collected them then threw them across the room and they hit the wall, poofing the Centipeetles in defeat. Quickstrike returned to the fridge, closed it and looked up at the icebox, just to discover a huge stash of Cookie Cats. His eyes grew large with stars as the Omnitrix started beeping red and reverted Quickstrike back into Steven with a flash of red light.
"No way... It can't be!" Steven reached out for one and grabbed it as he turned and gazed at the package. Pearl walked in and closed the ice box, not wanting the contents to melt or go mad.
"Where did you get these?! I thought they would stop making them?!" asked Steven with excitement.
"Did you make them with your gemstones? " asked Trix as he stood out and poke the package. With all the crazy stuff the Gems could do, it wouldn't surprise him if they could make a simple treat for Steven to enjoy.
"Hmhmhm, of course not" giggle Pearl at how silly that question was, as if a Gem would use their powers to make frozen foods. "We heard they stopped making them too. And since they're Steven's favorite-" she began to say before Amethyst jumped in and sat on the counter and Garnet walks in.
"We ran out and stole a bunch!" answered Amethyst.
"And it was soooo thrilling, sneaking in and unlocking the doors!" beamed Cat's Eye as she moved in and sat down on a stool, like a cat, Cat's Eye acted more cat than Gem at times, doing all the basic activities that a regular household cat would do. From drinking and eating from a food bowl she bought just for her, to even using a scratching post.
"Grrr, I went back and paid for them!" grunted Pearl as she placed her hands on her hips, hardly believing those two tried to commit robbery. Not only did she have to pay for all those frozen desserts, but she also had to apologise and convince the store owner not to call the police.
"The whole thing was my idea," said Garnet as she held up her hands and the gauntlets started glowing bright purple, split into shooting stars and started swirling above her palms.
"It was everyone's idea." Amethyst points out.
"Nyeah~!" chimed Cat's Eye.
"Not really." said Garnet as the stars entered the gemstones on her palms. Her right palm has a sapphire gemstone and her left has a ruby gemstone but they're both colored in shades of garnet. It was odd why she had two gemstones when her teammates only have one, but that's a story for a different time.
"Best. Idea. Ever! You're the coolest, Garnet!" beamed Trix with a happy smile emoji on his screen.
"Thank you, Trix." said Garnet as she gave a soft smile.
"All that matters is that Steven is happy" Pearl concludes the discussion, looking down and smiling at the little boy. He then startled the Gem when he began to sing a song.
"~Oooooohhhh! He's a frozen treat with an all new taste cause he came to this planet from outer space A refugee of an interstellar war But now he's at your local grocery store Cookie Cat! He's a pet for your tummy Cookie Cat! He's super duper yummy Cookie Cat! He left his family behind! Cookie Caaaaat! Now available at Gurgens of Rt. 109.~!"
"PFFFT HA HA HA HA HA!" Pearl, Cat's Eye, Amethyst and Trix burst out laughing while Garnet chuckled briefly and applauded to Steven's Cookie Cat song.
"Good song Stevo." said Trix.
"Thanks Trix, I practiced a lot," said Steven with a smile. Singing was always a talent Steven shared with the Gems, apparently the Gem species are very talented when it came to songs. Steven even taught Trix how to sing, though it took longer than expected because the little Omnitrix had trouble adjusting his voice for song.
"I loved it, a cat song always makes me purr." Cat's Eye said than let out a small purr as an example.
"I still can't believe you did this. I'm gonna save it forever! ...right after I eat this one." smiled Steven as he opened the package, held out the ice cream sandwich and balled up the wrapper. "Hello, old friend." smiled Steven before taking a bite on the ear.
"Nyum...hmmm. Nyum nyum... So good! I like to eat the ears first." beamed Steven. Suddenly his belly began to produce a bright pink rose glow.
"Whooooa! I'm sensing a rise in Stevens Power Levels!" said Trix and the Crystal Gems noticed the glow as well.
"Uh, Steven?" Amethyst called out, pointing a finger at the glowing spot on Steven's shirt.
"Uuuuuuuuuhhhh..." began Cat's Eye.
"Huh?" asked Steven before he noticed the glow, lifted his shirt and revealed the rose quartz gemstone embedded where his naval was. It was glowing brightly. "My Gem is glowing!" he gasped.
"Quick, show us your weapon." said Amethyst.
"I hope it's an axe! " said Trix with excitement in his voice as he got closer to Steven's gem. "Come on, papa needs a sharp axe." he added, holding his pincers up in a grabbing gesture, greatly praying for his battle axe.
"Try to summon your weapon, little kitten, maybe it'll be a pair of cat claws like mine!" said Cat's Eye while using the nickname she gave both Steven and Trix.
"I don't know how!" said Steven then the glow began to die out. "AH! It's fading! How will I make it come back!" panicked Steven. He had finally managed to get his gemstone to glow, meaning he was on the verge of summoning his weapon.
"Calm down Steven! Breath, don't force it." instructed Pearl trying to calm the little boy down and have him summon his gem without straining his body.
"Yeah, and try not to poop yourself either!" sneered Amethyst, as always making a joke out of the situation.
"Yuck!" exclaimed Cat's Eye in disgust.
"Gross, Amethyst!" said Trix while making a gagging posture.
"Please, don't." said Garnet. The glow finally faded away and everyone sighed in dismay as Steven flopped himself on the floor.
"Awww, I was really close that time." sighed Steven before standing up and storing his half-eaten Cookie Cat in the wrapper. "Can one of you just explain how to summon my weapon?" he asked, wanting to be ready next time.
"Yeah, in case for the next glow" added Trix, agreeing with his partner in the matter, plus he really wanted his battle axe no matter what it would take to get it.
"Oh! I'll go first~!" sang Pearl as she raised her hand, excited to begin the process on Steven Gem summoning training. Plus, Besides perhaps Garnet, who else could be professional enough to teach the boy she thought to herself.
"What, why should you go first?" asked Amethyst. The purple Gem didn't like how Pearl always wanted to be Miss know-it-all all the time, it was one of the reasons they didn't get along well.
"Ya, we could do a better job than you at helping Steven!" argued Cat's Eye who was backing up Amethyst in this argument. Pearl was someone that annoyed Cat's Eye to the very core, they may have been on the same team but saying that they were friends could be laughable.
"Because I am the most mature!" responded Pearl with her head held up high.
"You're also the most boring, I'm pretty sure both my little kittens would fall asleep learning from you." said the cat girl as she stuck her tongue out as Pearl, who was scowling at her.
"Enough, let's have Steven and Trix decide who goes first," said Garnet trying to defuse the situation.
"I have an idea." said Trix as he began to make a hologram and showed a digital hat with straws in it. "Let's draw straws!" he added, moving the hologram closer to the Gems.
"Great idea Trix!" said Steven, amazed with the idea, it was a fair way to decide who would go at what time.
"Sounds good to me." Amethyst agreed, thinking they could grab something to eat when it was her turn to help Steven with his Gem Weapon.
"Agreed!" said Cat's Eye. This way Pearl only had a one out of four chance of getting to teach Steven about his Gem powers first, and honestly Cat's Eye was okay with anyone of the Gems teaching him first besides Pearl.
"Okay, let's start." Trix responded as the digital hat started to shake, the gems watched as the straws were moving from place to place inside the hat, then after about a few more moments the hat stopped and Trix moved the hologram closer to the gems. "Alright ladies, make your pick." said the Omnitrix gesturing to the holographic sticks.
"I'll go first." Garnet announced as she touched one of the digital straws and it began to shine and move out of the hat. It revealed the number 3 on the end.
"Looks like you're 3rd to go Garnet." announced Trix as he made a mental note about who goes when.
"Understood." smiled Garnet as she stepped aside and let Amethyst go next. She poked the straw closest to the left and when it moved up in the air it revealed the number 2.
"You're the 2nd to go Amy" said Trix while updating the schedule for the gem weapon training.
"Kay!" Amethyst responded with a smirk than high fived both Steven and Trix before letting Pearl go next. When she touched her straw, it came up with the number 1.
"WHAT!?" shouted Cat's Eye in shock, she couldn't believe it.
"Well, lucky me." said Pearl very smugly while giving Cat's Eye a smirk. Cat's Eye gave her a growl in response.
"Well, let's get started." announced Trix.
The scene switched to the cherry blossom tree located at the other side of Beach City as Steven and Pearl stood beneath it, well Steven is sitting down as the cherry blossom naturally sent down "rain" of petals.
"Pay attention to these petals, Steven." began Pearl as she gestured the petal dancing in the air on its descent. "The petal's dance seems to improvise, but it is being calculated in real time based on physical properties of this planet. With hard work and dedication, you can master the magical properties of your gemstone and perform your own dance!" Pearl held up her hands over her gemstone in a triangle gesture then swung her arms out and summoned her weapon.
The spear is a glowing pearl blade with a white grip and a cyan, gold, and white colored pommel shaped like a star. The head of the blade spirals down the upper shaft, becoming less sharp on the lower shaft. Pearl grabbed it, swung it down and extended its length to an actual spear, spun it above her before dramatically set it down. She opened her hand and caught a petal.
"Like so." she smiled.
Steven just stared, looked down, sweep his arms across and pick up a bunch of petals and raised an eyebrow as he gazed at them.
" Okayyyy…could you try saying that in a way we might understand? " asked Trix while trying to calculate and make sense of what Pearl just said.
Next is training with Amethyst.
At the Big Donuts, Amethyst was eating a chocolate donut as she watched Steven hold up some of the petals from Pearl's tree and tossed them into the air.
"Wah!" he said as he watched them fall gently.
"Did Pearl tell you the 'petal things'?" asked Amethyst with a frown, that lame training thing was one of Pearl's stupidest ways to summon a weapon.
"Yeah, I need to practise really hard so I can dance like a tree... I think?" he wondered. Pearl wasn't always the easiest person to understand, with all the big words she uses on a regular basis.
"Anyway, listen Steven. All that practice is no fun." said Amethyst before taking a bite on the donut then continuing with a stuffed mouth. "Whenever I need to summon my weapon, it just happens." Amethyst held her hand over her amethyst gemstone and balled up as if she caught a handle then yanked out her weapon with ease, which her weapon is a multi-tailed dark purple whip with a cross-guard in the form of a golden star.
The lash is dark purple and is divided into two different segments with spikes on the ends. She whips it at a nearby garbage container and slices it into two.
"See? Didn't try at all." she smiled and Steven scratched his hair in confusion. Suddenly Lars ran out with a garbage bag and saw what became of the container.
"Huh!? Again!?" he exclaimed as he dropped the bag.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! " laughed Trix as he held one pincer over his belly and another pointed at Lars' face.
Next is Garnet.
At the top of the Crystal Temple, next to the lighthouse, Steven listens to Garnet's advice.
"So I'm supposed to work really hard and not try at all at the same time?!" asked Steven. All this talking with the Gems had done nothing but confused both Steven and Trix more than ever, at this rate he'll never learn to summon his shield.
"...Yes." she answered. Steven and Trix remain silent as the wind blows over. "Or...you could link your mind with the energy of all existing matter. Channelling the collective powers of the universe into your Gem, which results in..." Garnet held up her hands, channels the said energy then did a very awesome and groovy stances before she held up her hands and summons her gauntlets, which had a red and light red spiral design around the entire shaft, red and dark red fingers and fingertips, and contained the same star motif on the tops and bases of the gauntlets; before pumping her arms.
"At least that's my way of doing it." she said. Both Steven and Trix were mind-blown.
Lastly, Cat's Eye.
At the beach head, Steven and Trix meet with Cat's Eye.
"Lemme get this straight! Pearl taught you the flower dance, Amethyst just munch her food and Garnet just talked about a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Just to get you to summon your Gem weapon?" asked Cat's Eye as she was munching on a fish's skeleton.
"Pretty much." said Steven. Since the others didn't really tell Steven anything that seemed like it would help him, he was praying that Cat's Eye might be able to help.
"Pearl got mad when I told her to make her speech more simple." said Trix as he crossed his arms to show his annoyance. "It's not my fault she speaks gibberish!" he added.
"She didn't yell at you, did she?" asked Cat's Eye while showing her fangs. She didn't like how much of a know it all Pearl was.
"No, but she told us to leave while she calms down, the Gems really made summoning a gem weapon weird." said Steven, robbing the back of his head.
"Oh, they're a bunch of no-action teachers. I'll show you the real way to summon your weapon." said Cat's Eye as she spits the skeleton aside.
Steven just stands there and waits for her response. She slowly opened her eyes and gave a wild grin as she dropped into a fighting stance.
"To call your weapon, you need to feel the pounding pulse in your blood, the racing thrills in your heart and the instinct of the wild! Yes, you must feel the thrill of the jungle in your heart! Thrill of the BATTLE!" roared Cat's Eye as she reached her hand over her gemstone, magic surged out as she grabbed the handle and yanked out her claw gauntlet then crouched down, preparing to pounce Steven.
"Uh, what are you… " began Trix before Steven cuts him off.
"Uh, Cat? I like training as much as anyone but I don't think this is safe." said Steven, backing away slowly. The boy knew that look in the feline Gem's eyes, it was the same one she had in her primal moments.
"Don't worry, kiddos. Safety's on." She pointed at her claws being coated with some protective scabbards before lunging at Steven.
"Wahhhh!" exclaimed Steven as he started running away.
"Hey, don't run! Defend yourself!" she yelled as she chased after him. "Part of your training is about learning to be ready for a fight, no matter where or when it is, meow!" meowed the feline Gem, continuing her pursuit of the two.
"I don't have a weapon!" he yelled as she comically punched the sand again and again while he keeps running ahead.
"Stop chasing us, you crazy cat! " yelled Trix as he tried to dial a transformation.
"You got the Omnitrix, nya!" she reminded Steven as Trix continued to dial for an alien form. she dug her claws in the sand and swung it up, sending a small wave of sand. Steven tripped and rolled into the water. "Steven!" she ran towards the water, it touched her boot and…
"MEOW! HISS!" she hissed as she jumped back like a frightened cat.
She saw bubbles foaming up and she stares blankly, gaze at her Cat Claw then toss it in the water with a line attached to her wrist. It plopped into the water. She wagged her wrist.
"Not a nibble." She muttered.
A large flash of bright green energy suddenly burst out of the water and Cat's Eye barely managed to evade the falling water. When she looks at the source of the energy it is revealed to be Steven who has transformed into Razorfang.
"You wanna fight huh? Well, bring it!" shouted Trix on top of Razorfang's head.
"Oh, you think the big bad doggy can take on this kitty cat?! Bring it oon! Your facing an alpha here boys!" said Cat's Eye with a mad grin as both her and Razorfang charged at one another and just before colliding with the scene switched to just outside the area of the beach were a massive sand cloud gets created from the impact.
Back at the Beach House with the Gems.
"I think my best bet is to recreate what happened the last time my gem glowed. So..." Steven began as the Crystal Gems got placed in their positions as before. Steven points at them. "Garnet and Amethyst were here. Cat's Eye was sitting here, Pearl was next to the fridge..." Steven crossed his arms and rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he probed his memory. "Hmmm... Amethyst, I think your arms were crossed?" he asked.
"Okay, your majesty." frowned Amethyst as she crosses her arms.
"And Cat, you were on the stool." said Steven.
"Whatever you say" Cats Eye said as she sat on the stool like before.
"And Pearl, your foot was like this." Steven grabbed Pearl's foot and moved it at the angle it was.
"I don't think it works this way, Steven." said Pearl confusingly.
"Just play along. I love replaying memories." Trix clapped his pincers gleefully.
"And Garnet, uh..." Steven grabbed her face and gently moves it to face upward, which she didn't respond back like she's a statue. "Yeah." Steven opened the ice box, grabbed the Cookie Cat he took before, then tossed the wrapper aside. "Then I took a bite of this Cookie Cat. Oh wait! I sang the song first. Uh, he's a frozen treat, all new taste, interstellar war, now available at Ghurven's ." Steven repeats the lyrics in an incomplete, non-singing manner.
The Crystal Gems didn't laugh due to the fact they already heard it or because Steven didn't sang the entire song lyrics. "Aww, it was funnier last time..." whined Steven before he checked his gemstone. No glow.
"Odd. Maybe it's because you didn't sang the full song. " said Trix.
"Maybe I'm not a real Crystal Gem." sigh Steven sitting on the floor. Nothing he has done has worked in summoning his weapon, maybe he just didn't have the ability.
"I mean biologically, you're a Hybrid." said Trix before Garnet slapped the back of his head gently. "Wha-Garnet! Why'd you hit me?!" whined Trix. Pearl bends down next to Steven.
"Don't be silly, Steven. Of course you are." Pearl comforts him. "It doesn't matter if you're half gem or not, you're just as much of a Crystal Gem as we are!" she said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"And you're fun to have around, even if your gem is useless." said Amethyst, which annoyed everyone else in the room.
"Grrr." frowned Pearl angrily. Cat's Eye gave Amethyst an angry glare while both Garnet and Trix shook their heads at her.
"I...mean, you're one of us Steven. We're not the Crystal Gems without you" she rephrases her answer sheepishly. Garnet just nodded.
"Of course Steven, We Gems always stick together, no matter what." purred Cat's Eye as she nuzzled his cheek like a cat.
"And hey, Gem power or not, you got me, the Omnitrix! Sure, Gem powers are awesome but in the meantime, stick with what you got." said Trix.
"The point is Steven is a Crystal Gem, and nothing will ever change that." said Garnet in her usual motherly tone.
Steven sniffled as he smiled at the Crystal Gems"Thanks guys. You're right, I have the Omnitrix to help me in a fight, and besides I've still got... Cookie Cat!" smiled Steven as he took another bite. "Mmmmm... So good!" smiled Steven with joy.
Suddenly the rose quartz gemstone began to glow but this time to maximum level and produces multiple surge of energy before constructing a spiraled pink shield. The center is decorated with light pink rose thorns going from top to bottom, and its center symbol is shaped like a rose quartz gemstone. The outer edge of the shield is light blue. Everyone gasped in collective.
"Steven, it's a shield!" gasped Pearl in awe.
"Aww, I wanted the axe..." complained Trix in a pout. "Good job summoning your weapon anyway Steven."
"Whoa, what!?" exclaimed Steven when he opens his eyes and saw his Gem Weapon. "I get a shield?! Ooooh...yeah!" cheered Steven but his cheer stance accidentally launches his shield which rockets around the room before impaling and breaking a TV. Amethyst bursts out laughing while Pearl puts her hand to her head in dismay and Cat's Eye tilted her head in dismay.
"Huh?" Steven glanced at the treat in his hand. "Cookie Cat! I summon my weapon by eating ice cream!" he beamed holding up the half eaten ice cream above his head, while everyone else looked at him confused.
"Eh?!" asked the girls.
"What!? Stevo, from the time you found me in the woods to now, I've seen you eat Cookie Cat a thousand times and not once did it summon a shield." Trix disapproved of that possibility.
"But it glowed twice when I ate it." said Steven as Pearl picked up the wrapper and gazed at it suspiciously.
"What's in these things?" wondered Pearl before the Beach House suddenly began to quake. Then they looked at the window near the broken TV and saw a swarm of Centipeetle scurry up, followed by an even larger one. The shield vanished as well.
"What was that?" asked Steven. Everyone ran out of the Beach House and they all looked up to see the Centipeetles crawling up to the Temple. The giant one has a white mane and its back is clad with more solid gems.
"Grrrrrr..." it purrs as it stood over the statue's head.
"It's the Mother!" frowned Garnet as she leaped toward it.
"A worthy opponent! Finally! I've been itching for a real fight all day" hissed Cat's Eye as she pulls out her cat claws and followed Garnet.
"Stay in the house, Steven!" ordered Pearl.
"No way, I'm coming too!" Steven ran back inside the house to grab several Cookie Cats, grab some extension cords and approach the Cookie Cat-theme freezer. Trix reattached himself to the Omnitrix. "Finally an opponent to fight, it's been weeks since our last Corrupted Gem fight" stated the boy to his partner, who nodded in agreement.
"Hyah!" Garnet landed a mid-air roundhouse kick, smacking the Mother's head back but she brushed it off and lunged at Garnet as she descends down, Cat's Eye leapt up and lands a barrage of high-speed punches, bashing the beak before landing an uppercut kick and knocked her back, only for the tail to swung in and smacked Cat's Eye away.
"MEOW!" she shrieked as she flew back and crashed into the ground, sending sand flying up. Garnet somersaulted and landed on the floor, the gemstones moved up to her elbows as she thrust her fists and fired the gauntlets. Mother Centipeetle took it head on and got blown back but she tilted her head back and glared at her as Garnet re-summons a new pair of gauntlets.
"Grrrrrr!" snarled the Mother as she lunged toward Garnet. Garnet jumped her way down and into the beachhead. The Mother blindly chased after her and ends up crashing head first against the sand. The Gems join up with Garnet as the Mother Centipeetle towers over them and glared its eye, which the pupil looks like a Pokeball-like gem.
"GRRRR AAAAHH! BLLAARGH!" The Mother vomited a spray of corrosive acid, the Gems evade as it burns through the ground, making a trench. She ceased fire as she opened her eyes, which she shield it to avoid her Corrupted Gem from being corroded. She blinked several times as she lost sight of the Gems then turn her drooling head and Cat's Eye was moving in, surprising her.
"Take this, Feline Slasher!" she swung her cat claw and created a mirage of claws, the Gem eye widened then she immediately duck down and she completely missed.
"W-What—OOFF!" She got smacked down by the large tail and crushed into the sand.
"GRAAAAAAAAHHH!" she roared as she lifted her tail and slammed it against her once more. She lifted it up and Cat's Eye was broken, blood leaks from her mouth and nose as she twitched then gasped and forcibly cricked her arm joints in place and she glared at Mother Centipeetle.
"Is that it?" she asked. Mother Centipeetle snarled and swung the tail down again, she dashed aside and it smashed the ground, she jumped up and rammed her cat claw against her back, only to be shattered by her durable shells. "Erk!" grunted Cat's Eye then her eye spotted Mother Centipeetle lunging her jaws at her, she quickly slapped her hand on the beak and flipped over as she impaled the ground.
She spring across and jumped over as she pulled out a new cat's claw, channel the Magic into it and swung it, sending triple sonic blades and blasted her head-on as she landed and slide a bit before noticing a spinning white ball covered in purple flames struck the Mother Centipeetle and blasted her with a huge explosion of magic. A smack was heard and Amethyst went flying before Garnet caught her and set her down.
"Man, she's tougher than the babies," said Amethyst.
"My Cat Claw shattered when it struck her shell." Cat's Eye add.
"Then we must strike it harder." said Pearl as she spun her spear and aim it, aura builds up then fired a powerful magic orb that struck her and slammed her against the water, creating an explosion. Suddenly she moved in a frightening speed, swirl around them and created a wall of sand as multiple pincers flew in and attempted to stab them. They barely evade them then Garnet saw one leg heading toward Pearl and shove her aside before getting grazed across the arm.
"Urgh!" grunted Garnet before Amethyst whipped her and moved her away as 2 legs struck the ground.
"Cat, join with Amethyst," said Pearl.
"Right!" Cat jumped over and landed on Amethyst's head with her hands cupped on the sides. Amethyst slapped her whips down hard and they ignited with purple flames.
"Gem Combo: Spiral Flame Twister !" chanted Amethyst and Cat's Eye as they spun into a frenzy top before being consumed as a purple fire tornado. The massive heat began to turn sand into glass, resulting the Mother Centipeetle to be stuck. Pearl jumped up with Garnet and she tapped her spear on her gauntlet then infused it with her electrical magic and Garnet empowered it with her own.
"Thunder Magic: Double Lightning Bomb!" Garnet fired her super-charged gauntlets at the ground and impacted the glass floor before giving a spark and exploded into a lethal EMP, shattering the glass and knocked Mother Centipeetle back.
She rolled a bit and flail wildly before getting up and violently spray acid around blindly. She ceased fire and searched around before spotting the Gems taking refuge behind the statue's broken hand.
"BLAAAAAAH!" The Mother vomited acid at the broken hand and the statue slowly began to melt.
"We hit it hard and it's not working!" complained Cat's Eye.
"We could really use Steven's shield right about now!" said Amethyst.
"Hey!" Steven called out as he chucks pebbles at Mother. She ceased fire as it got her attention and turn to see Steven as he plants the freezer, which was plugged with multiple cords to be connected at the house, in the ground and stood brave. "Leave them alone!" he ordered.
"Steven, I REALLY think this is a bad idea. " worried Trix as he tried to get his partner to reconsider this idea.
"Don't worry Trix, I got this!" assured Steven to the little Omnitrix, who didn't seem to feel any more easy about this plan Steven came up with.
"Steven, no!" exclaimed the Crystal Gems.
"Cookie Cat Crystal combo powers, activate!" yelled Steven as he ate the Cookie Cat and chewed it, the Mother slithers up and displays her drooling fangs. Steven tucks his shirt up so he can project the shield. The Mother waits for his move and Steven continues chewing before swallowing but he began to sweat as nothing happen.
"Yeeeah, I thought so. " said Trix dryly. He didn't want to say it, but the idea that ice cream gave Steven powers was one of the stupidest things he heard.
"Uh-oh!" cringed Steven as he grabbed his freezer and retreated. "Aaaaah!" screamed Steven as Mother Centipeetle began to chase after him.
"We need to save Steven!" panicked Pearl as she steps out but the Mother's rear jaws snapped the top of the broken hand apart, forcing them to retreat back.
"Can we save ourselves first?!" asked Amethyst.
"We're trapped between that mother and water! Why did we have to live near water!?" cried Cat's Eye angrily. Steven opened the freezer and unwraps all the Cookie Cats, eating them up all at once.
"Stevo, no! You'll get a stomachache!" panicked Trix. "Seriously man, just use the Omnitrix! Forget about the Ice Cream!"
"Goodbye, my friends." said Steven as he devoured two last Cookie Cats and swallowed them. His stomach began to growl but the gemstone still doesn't glow. "Why isn't it working?" asked Steven. His stomach kept making noises and the pain he felt began to grow, eating fast always made the boy puke up his lunch.
"Grrrrrrr..." growled the Mother as she glared at Steven. "BLL AAAAARGH!" she vomited an acid spray and Steven quickly jumped aside and rolled on the ground.
"You really believed foods could give you powers? This is not a video game Steven!" argued Trix.
"B-But it worked twice?" baffled Steven. The pincers snapped the hand statue then Garnet stood up.
"Steven!" She called out but quickly grabbed and held back the Mother's pincers, then Cat's Eye jumped on it and started jabbing it with her Cat's Claw. The Mother snarled as she lifted her tail and slammed Cat against Garnet, creating an explosion of sand and they got battered hard. Pearl and Amethyst pulled them in before the tail crushed them. Steven stood up and looked up, just to find his unfortunate freezer caught in the blast, half corroded apart.
"No... Oh, no no no!" cried Steven as he ran over and kneel down as he gazed at the ruined fridge. He slowly pokes it then recoil as the lightning sparks. Steven balled his hands into fists then grew angry.
"NOOOO!" cried Steven as the Omnitrix glowed and produced a burst of green and pink energy.
Everyone covered their eyes from the massive amount of bright green and pink energy, but when the light stopped they could see what the two boys turned into.
Both Steven and Trix had transformed into some type of fire alien, as he was completely made of flames and molten rock. The flames he was generating are a light blue, almost looking bright white and causing the parts of his body not covered with clothes to have a blue glow. The magna rocks are a dark blue, and have a slight muscle pattern. The large rock making up his chest has a large hole on each side, showing the flames underneath. His face have the appearance of a demonic skull, with the lower jaw having sharp fangs. His shoulders were large and are blasting out flames, taking the appearance of volcanoes and also each having two spikes. He is wearing dark pink metal wrist bands, each having a star on them. Around his waist is a dark pin metal built with the star as a belt buckle, while below he was wearing pants that were the same pink color as Steven's shirt with yellow lines giving a magna theme above the knee. Below the knee the pants were completely black, with yellow at the bottom. This alien has three fingers on each hand, while the feet had two toes on front and one on the back. The Omnitrix symbol is on his chest, with the gemstone on his belly.
"PYROBLAST!" he roared.
"Whoo, Now we're talking!" cheered Amethyst.
"BLAAAAAAAA ARRRGH!" Centipeetle vomit her acid all over Pyroblast.
"STEVEN!" panicked Pearl.
"GRAAAAAAGH!" roared Pyroblast as he blasted the acid apart with a superheat aura. Mother Centipeetle darted back in shock then noticed the sand becoming extremely hot and slowly turning glassed.
"Cookie Cat, he's a pet for your tummy!" snarled Pyroblast as he charged toward Mother Centipeetle with his body bursting with a huge amount of heat.
"GRRR AAAHH!" she charged in and readied her jaws.
"Cookie Cat, he's super duper yummy!" he roared as he landed a flaming uppercut and knocked Centipeetle way back, fracturing the jaws and falling on her back then he landed on the ground, grabbed her tail and start slamming her around the beach, injuring her and the shells began to crack.
"COOKIE CAT, HE LEFT HIS FAMILY BEHIND!" The slamming created a huge sand cloud then a punch landed and the Corrupted Gem went flying to the sky, Pyroblast rocket himself ahead and created a lava sphere from his shoulders, grabbed them and slammed it together, forging a focused energy. "COOKIE CAT!" He fired a plasma beam and smack Centipeetle into the ruined freezer, which she crushed and gave her an explosion of extreme voltage.
"KKKKYYYYY AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Mother Centipeetle with a woman-like scream of agony as Pyroblast landed on the ground in a heroic knee-bend stance and the heat aura died out.
"Now available...nowhere." he sighed before the Omnitrix started beeping red before it times out and he turns back to normal.
"YES!" cheered Amethyst.
"That Shock destroyed any defences it had left"
"Gems, weapons!" ordered Garnet. The Crystal Gems produced a bright light and destroyed the hand by the energy burst as they emerged with their Gem Weapons. "Let's do it."
They charged toward the Mother Centipeetle and she glanced at them in horror before they collided with her, producing a powerful magic explosion that parts the clouds away.
Mother Centipeetle was destroyed and the light popped, revealing its Corrupted Gem as it fell and roll across the sand before Garnet stop it with her foot, she bend over, poke it before spreading her hand, concealing the Gem in a pink bubble. She held it up and it teleports away. She turns her head to see Steven making a grave for the remaining wrappers and bury it.
"Steven?" asked Trix.
"Farewell, sweet Cookie Cats." began Steven with tears as he placed a leave as a grave marker. "I'll always remember the time we spent together." whimpered Steven then his stomach rumbles. "Shh, hush now." he said. The Gems gather around and Amethyst bends down.
"Are you crying?" she asked.
"Only a little!" he shouted.
"I'll miss them too. Meow~" nodded Cat as she sat down and whimpered.
"Well, I guess your powers don't come from ice cream." smiled Amethyst.
"Of course not! Who thinks that's the answer for powers!? No offence, Stevo. " said Trix.
"Don't worry Steven, I'm sure someday you'll figure out how to activate your gem." said Pearl as she comforted him.
"Yes, in your own Steven-y way." smiled Garnet.
"Although it seems both times the Gem activated was when Steven eat the Cookie Cat and he was enjoying... Waaaait... Could it... Nah!" Trix declines his thought.
"I'm okay, guys. I just-" Steven sighed before belching a bit. "I just don't understand… I managed to summon it twice but I don't even know how." He laments.
"It seems there's more mystery to your Gem than we originally thought," said Garnet.
"But rest assured, you will succeed." Pearl smiled as they all hugged Steven and he smiled peacefully.
On the hill, a woman was observing them. She's a female version of the man Steven almost ran over but has neon green hair with black streaks, wears identical clothes but feminine with black and white shirt and short black hoodie. Her breasts are E cup and have formed buttocks. She smiled with interest.
"Very curious." She said as her eyes briefly flicker into the Omnitrix icons before returning to normal state.
So thats it for Chapter 1, hope you guys enjoyed it, I got some big plans for this rewrite and with the OG author helping me out with stuff it will definitely make things a bit smoother.
Anyways, see ya'll later guys.
