Hey guys! I know it's been a long time since I updated, but life can get in the way, you know? Anyway, I'm really satisfied with how I wrote this chapter, and I hope you guys liked it as well...Oh, and I don't own Steven Universe, only my OC'S
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Wake up, you little freak. Doc wants to see you."
RAGGGHH!
"The experiment was a success!"
"Mommy…it hurts...please make the pain go away!"
"Can't you see what you're doing to him! He barely survived his first transformation, and you think he can do it again!?"
SLAP!
"Insolent woman! Know your place!"
"Saurus…I love you."
BANG!
"MOMMY!"
Saurus sat up from the couch while clutching his beating heart as he panted heavily from the intense dream, and Saurus quickly looks down at his arm as he was annoyed to see dark green scales appearing on his arm.
"Dammit, not now. Focus, focus, focus..." Saurus says as he groans, and his scales started receding as he sighs in relief and looked around as Saurus just now noticed that he was inside Steven's house. "What the? How did I get here?"
"I brought you here after you passed out," Garnet says while walking into the living room as Saurus turned to her.
"Oh, thanks," Saurus says as he stood up and yawned. "How long was I out?"
"Two and a half days," Garnet says as Saurus noticed that the sun was going down. "It's pretty close to night time, and we were pretty worried that you won't wake up, especially Steven."
"Yeah, sorry about that. My healing factor works better when I'm sleeping."
"Is that so?" Garnet asked curiously as Saurus nodded with a shrug.
"Yep, so if I suffer any major injuries, I usually slip into a coma until my body finishes healing."
"Good to know," Garnet says as Saurus started stretching. "You really took us by surprise with that little trick of yours yesterday." Garnet says as Saurus winced and laughs nervously as he turned to her.
"I have a lot of explaining to do, don't I?"
"We'll talk about that later with the others. For now, put these on." Garnet says while casually tossing him a bag filled with clothes as he caught it. "You need a change of clothes after last night's fight." Garnet says as Saurus nodded.
"Yeah, thanks," Saurus said before looking inside and blanched as he realized the bag was full of Steven's clothes. "Um, I don't think these will fit me," Saurus says while inspecting Steven's shirt as Garnet shrugs.
"There are the only human clothes we have on the temple that isn't a biohazard, so this will have to do for now." Garnet says as Saurus raised an eyebrow.
"Biohazard?"
"Don't ask," Garnet says bluntly as Saurus shrugs and walks into the bathroom. After a few minutes of waiting, Saurus walked out of the bathroom with a strained look on his face, and Garnet couldn't blame him since Steven's clothes can barely fit him. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. These will have to do until I buy new clothes." Saurus says as Garnet nodded.
"Come on the others are on the patio." Garnet says as Saurus nodded, and they walked out of the house.
"I wonder if he is awake. He's been knocked out for quite a while." Steven says while sitting on the patio with Pearl and Amethyst standing close by him.
"I don't know, Steven. He received quite a few injuries in battle." Pearl says as Amethyst literally jumps into the conversation and nearly threw Pearl off the ledge.
"Nah, I'm sure he is fine. Did you see how he kicked that monster's butt yesterday? I'm sure he is going to wake up any second now." She says as Pearl glared at her.
"I highly doubt it."
"He's awake," Garnet says while walking out of the house with Saurus as Amethyst smirks at Pearl.
"Told you."
"Shut up." An embarrassed Pearl grumbles before putting on a smile as she turns to Saurus. "Hello, Saurus. How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good all things considered," Saurus says as Pearl stared at him worriedly.
"Those injuries seemed rather serious. Are you sure you don't want us to take you to a hospital or something?" Pearl asks as Saurus visibly flinched at the word 'hospital'.
"NO!" Saurus screams, rather aggressively, as Pearl took a few steps back in surprise. "I-I mean, there is no need, miss. I have a healing factor, so going to the doctors is quite unnecessary." Saurus says, after regaining his composure as Pearl stared at him uncertainly.
"Well, if you say so..." Pearl says awkwardly as a smiling Steven appears between them.
"Saurus!" Saurus winced in pain as Steven crashed into him and hugged him tightly.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
"I'm happy to see you too, kid. But I'm still sore from last night, so if you mind…" Saurus says with a groan as Steven lets him go.
"Oh! Sorry! Sorry!" Steven says sheepishly as Saurus waves him off.
"It's fine." Saurus says before noticing all of the Crystal Gems staring at him as he sighed. "So, you probably want an explanation about my powers, right?" Saurus asked as they nodded. "Well, it's a long story."
"We have time," Garnet says as Saurus sighed.
"Okay, where do I start? I should probably tell you where my powers come from." Saurus says as they nodded. "Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know where they come from exactly. Mom says that I was born with them, but it didn't manifest until I was 4-years-old when I first transformed. I don't remember what triggered it, but I do remember how painful it was." Saurus says ominously as the Gems started at him concernedly.
"I-It…hurts when you transform?" Steven shakily asks as Saurus nodded.
"Every time." Saurus says, before noticing Steven's eyes started watering as he smiled softly and ruffled his hair. "But don't worry, I grew used to the pain, so it doesn't hurt as much."
"R-Really?" Saurus nodded. "O-Oh, okay," Steven says, feeling a little better as Saurus resumed the story.
"After my first transformation, my mom had started training me so I could control my new powers. She even had me take self-defense classes so I could defend myself."
"Defend from what?" Amethyst asked.
"Oh, ah, well, let's just say that most people aren't fond of what I can do," Saurus says bitterly as Steven tilted his head innocently.
"Why?" Steven asked as the older teen shrugged.
"Humans often react with violence to things they don't understand, I guess." Saurus says solemnly as the Crystal Gems, minus an innocent Steven, nodded knowingly.
"Well, I think your powers are awesome!" Steven says as Saurus chuckles.
"Thanks, kid," Saurus says, feeling a little better as Steven smiled. "Anyway, after a few years of training, I had finally mastered my powers. So, now I can do this." Steven says before grunting as dark green scales started appearing on his arm and the Crystal Gems gasped in awe as Saurus's hand suddenly increased in mass and was now covered in dark green scales. "As easy as breathing," Saurus says while flexing his new claws as the gems crowded around him.
"Nice," Amethyst says while inspecting his arm.
"Sharp," Garnet says with her usual neutral tone as she touched his claws with the tip of her finger.
"Unbelievable," Pearl says while chipping off a scale from his arm to examine it, not noticing Saurus hissing in pain. "These scales seem reptilian-like, but something feels off about them. They seem kind of...pre-historic."
"Please don't do that again," Saurus says with a wince as Pearl blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh, sorry! I was just curious." Pearl says while laughing nervously as Saurus's arm morphed back to normal. "It's just I feel like I've seen this type of scale somewhere, but I can't put my foot on it." She says as Saurus suddenly grew more curious and looked up to her.
"Really? Where?" Saurus asked as Pearl shrugged.
"Don't remember, but I feel like I've seen this before."
"Pearl's right," Garnet says, making her presence known as she grabbed the scale from Pearl's hand. " This does look familiar."
"Really? Because I don't remember ever seeing a scale like that before." Amethyst says.
"It was probably around the time before we found you," Garnet whispered to Amethyst, who nodded somberly. "Anyway, if we can't remember where we've seen it, then it is probably not important. Forget we ever said anything." Garnet stated bluntly as Saurus stared at her suspiciously before nodding.
"Aright then." Saurus says as Steven suddenly popped up between them.
"So, it was your mom who taught you how to control your powers?" Saurus nodded. "Wow, your mom sounds amazing. When do we get to meet her?" Steven asked as Saurus suddenly grew quiet and looked away. "What's wrong? Was it something that I said?"
"No, it's not you, Steven. It's just that you won't be able to meet her because...well...she's dead." He said as Steven and the gems gasped.
"She died!?" Amethyst asked as Saurus somberly nodded.
"Yeah, 6 years ago."
"What about your father?" Pearl asked.
"I never knew my father. Mom says that he left before I was born."
"I'm sorry," Steven says, feeling guilty for bringing up bad memories as Saurus tiredly smiles and rubs his head.
"It's okay, Steven. You have nothing to feel bad about. It's just that mom's passing is a tough subject for me to talk about." Saurus says while rubbing his arm nervously as Steven nodded.
"I understand," Steven says before sitting next to him. "I may not know exactly how you feel, but I do know how it feels like to not have a mom around." He says as Saurus turned to him in surprise. "My mom had to give up her physical form to make me."
"Really?" Saurus asked as Steven nodded sadly.
"Rose's death took a toll on all of us. But having Steven around makes it easy for us to move on." Garnet says as Saurus nodded earnestly.
"Wait a minute, if both your parents are gone, where do you live?" Steven asked as Saurus shrugged.
"Oh, you know, here and there. I can't exactly get a job to support myself, so I mostly sleep on the streets." Saurus says as the Gems gasped in worry.
"The streets!?" They asked as Saurus shrugs.
"Or in a motel. It depends on how much money I have currently." Saurus says with a shrug before noticing their distressed looks. "Oh, you guys don't have to worry about me. It's not that bad, really," Saurus says, but the Gems weren't convinced.
"Well, if you don't have a place to stay, then you can stay with us!" Steven says cheerfully as everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Steven, I understand your concerns, but we only knew him for barely a day. What if he's dangerous?" She says before realizing that Saurus was still there. "No offense."
"None taken. Besides I'm with you on this one. Steven, I can't stay here."
"But Saurus-,"
"Look, Steven, I like the hospitality, but I barely know anything about you guys," Saurus says before rubbing his arm nervously. "Besides, I don't want to intrude."
"Please! Can you guys at least think about it?" He asked as the Gems looked at each other before turning to Steven.
"We'll think about it," Garnet says as Saurus sighs.
"Fine, I'll think about it as well. But don't get mad if I still say no." Steven nodded as Saurus sat up and went to grab his backpack.
"Where are you going?" Steven asked as Saurus slipped on his backpack and started walking downstairs.
"Well, if I'm going to stay around here for a little while, then I'm going to need to get some new threads. No offense, Steven, but pink is not exactly my style."
"Oh, let me come with you!" Steven says while eagerly running downstairs.
"Okay, then. Anyone else wants to join?" Saurus sarcastically asked but was surprised to see Amethyst leaping from the balcony and landing right next to him.
"Eh, I got nothing better to do. Let's go!" Amethyst says before grabbing Saurus's hand as she started running.
"Hey, guys! Wait up!" Steven screams as he tries to catch up to them.
{Jurassic Universe Season 1 Theme Song!}
We...are...the Crystal Gems!
We'll always save the day!
Standing in a large red colorful background with millions of glowing stars, we see a stoic Garnet lifting up her glasses to wink at the readers with her Dual Germstones glowing brightly as we see a pair of smirking Pearl and Amethyst standing back to back with their Gemstones glowing brightly as a roaring Saurus dropped down from the sky and landed in front of the Crystal Gems in his Full Dinosaur Form with Steven riding on his back and his Gemstone glowed brightly as they all struct a heroic pose.
And if you think we can't,
We'll always find a way!
After warping themselves into the other side of the planet, the Crystal Gems can be seen glaring at a hoard of Corrupted Gems, Evil Dinosaurs, and Jasper and Peridot as Garnet swiftly summoned her Gauntlets while Pearl summoned her spear as Amethyst pulled out her whip, Steven summoned his Shield, and Saurus transformed into his True Dinosaur Form as the Crystal Gems then mounted onto Saurus's back and charged forward as they all let out a loud battle cry.
That's why the people of this world
Always believe in...
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl...and Saurus and Steven!
After defeating their powerful foes and saving the Planet Earth, the Crystal Gems decided to head back to Beach City as, after warping themselves near their Hometown, a roaring Saurus ran down the streets of Beach City, alarming Lars and Sadie, surprising the Pizza Family, impressing the Cool Kids, and caused a visiting Connie to gasp in awe as the Gang were able to arrive at their home and everyone got off Saurus's back as he transformed back into his Human Form just as Greg drove up to them as he got out of the vehicle and placed a grill in front of them to grill up some victory Hot Dogs as a smiling Saurus rubbed a giggling Steven's head proudly.
{Jurassic Universe Season 1 Theme Song Over!}
"Welcome to Beach City's Junk and Stuff!" Steven says with a big smile as they are in front of a store that had a big sign that says 'Junk and Stuff' with the 'S' in stuff missing.
"...Junk and Stuff? Who would name their store like that? And why would you bring me here to buy clothes?" Saurus asked as Steven shrugged.
"The clothes they sell here are cheaper than all of the other clothing shops," Steven explains before walking into the store as Saurus and Amethyst followed him. Once they were inside, Saurus was startled as a fake dinosaur head roared fire above them.
"Okay, what was that?" Saurus says while staring at the dinosaur's head, feeling a little disturbed as Amethyst laughs.
"What? Never seen a T-Rex breathe fire before, Dino Boy?" Amethyst teased as Saurus huffs at her in annoyance and crossed her arms. "Relax, it's just a little gimmick that they like to do to entertain their customers. It's weird, but hey, it's not my store." She says while waving it off as Steven pulled Saurus towards the clothing section.
"Come on, it's over here," Steven says while walking across the store. "Hey, Gooch."
"Oh, hello, Steven." The employee says as he stood behind the counter feeding his...plant? The employee was a man with dark skin, grey hair, and a goteé. His clothes consist of a pink collar shirt with a dark blue vest and blue jeans.
"...Is he feeding his plant?" Saurus asked as he sweatdropped.
"He does weird things from time to time. After a while, you tend to ignore it." Steven says as Saurus stared at him, before nodding as they made it to the clothing section.
"So, take your pick," Steven says as Saurus studied each selection carefully before picking up a handful of clothes as he went to the dressing room. After a few minutes of waiting, Saurus came out wearing a red Hawaiian shirt with black flower petals, black shorts, and red sneakers.
"So, what do you think?" Saurus says while spinning around as Steven nods approvingly.
"Looks good." He says, but Amethyst wasn't convinced.
"I don't know, man. The outfit looks good, but the colors are off." Amethyst says before handing him a few clothes as she pushed him back inside. "Here, try these on." She says as Saurus gave her an odd look before shrugging as he went back into the dressing room and closed the door behind him. Once he was finished dressing up, Saurus walked out wearing a dark green Hawaiian shirt with white flower petals, white shorts, and sandals. "Now, that is more like it! It even matches the color of your scales!" Amethyst says as Saurus inspected his outfit.
"Got to admit, I do look good in this," Saurus says as Amethyst smirks, feeling proud of herself. "Plus, this outfit is stretchable, so I won't have to worry about tearing my clothes every time I transform."
"I like the old one better," Steven says while pouting as they made their way to the counter.
"ALRIGHT THIS IS A STICKUP! NOBODY MOVE!" A loud voice rang out, causing Saurus and the gems to freeze as they saw a masked man standing in front of Gooch with a gun in his hand.
"Oh, great. Where is Captain Man and Kid Danger when you need him?" Gooch said to himself as he motioned Saurus and the gems to hide, which they did. "Look, sir, you don't have to do this."
"There is nothing to talk about, old man! Now give me the money!" He screamed as Gooch opens the cash register.
"G-Guys, what do we do?" Steven asked, scared out of his mind as Amethyst placed her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.
"Stay here, Steven. I'll handle this." Amethyst says as she reached for her gem, but Saurus stopped her.
"No, I will handle this," Saurus says before grinning as he made his way to the robber.
"But-"
"Don't worry, just sit back and enjoy the show," Saurus says as Steven and Amethyst looked at each other before shrugging as they stayed back. They watched in shock as dark green scales appeared all over Saurus's body, and, soon enough, Saurus had transformed into his Full Dinosaur Form.
"What's taking so long?"
"I'm sorry you need to make a purchase to open the cash register!" Gooch says, but then his eyes widen at the sight of a giant dinosaur standing behind the unsuspecting robber.
"Are you serious!? Alright then, give me a pack of smokes, a couple of breath mints, and-" He says before yelping as a giant green hand grabbed his waist and hoisted him up as he stood face to face with a pissed-off Saurus.
"You come in here again, in fact, you go anywhere in this city, preying on innocent people, I will find you and eat both your arms and then both of your legs."
"No, no, no." The robber says as he trembled in fear and tried to escape from Saurus's grip.
"And then I will rip your tongue out of your mouth and make you eat it. Do you understand?"
"Please! Someone help me! Get this thing off me!" The robber screamed, but they ignored him as Saurus leans into his face.
"You will be this armless, legless, tongueless, abomination rolling down the street, like a leaf in the wind. Do you feel me?"
"W-What are y-you?" He asked as Saurus chuckled and smiled sinisterly, showing his sharp teeth.
"I am the devil!" Saurus screams as he let go of the robber, who bolted out of the store as he screamed for his mommy. "Ha, ha, ha, now that was fun!" He laughs as Steven and Amethyst walked out of their hiding spot.
"Man, Saurus that was too good! How did you learn to scare people like that?" Amethyst asked while laughing as Saurus smirked and transformed back to normal.
"It's just a little trick I learned while I was on the streets," Saurus answered as Steven laughs nervously before looking up at him warily.
"Hey, Saurus. You weren't going to eat him, right?" Steven asked as Saurus gave him a disgusted look.
"W-What!? Ew, of course not! I just said that to scare him!" Saurus says as Steven sighs in relief.
"Oh, good." Steven says before turning to Gooch, who was still staring at Saurus in shock. "Hey, Gooch. What do we owe you?" Steven says as Saurus pulled out his wallet, but Gooch shook his head.
"No, need. After what you did, it's free of charge." Gooch says as the group stared at him in surprise before smiling as they headed towards the doors.
"Thanks, Gooch!" Steven says as they walked out of the store. After making sure they left, Gooch reached for his phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Ray? It's me, Gooch."
"..."
"Yeah, I know it's been a while."
"..."
"That's good to hear, but looked I called you for a reason. Junk and Stuff almost got robbed today by a crazy man with a gun."
"..."
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, and he didn't steal anything, but that isn't important. What is important is that I was just now saved by a giant dinosaur!"
"..."
"I'm not lying, Ray! There was a giant, talking dinosaur in the store!"
"..."
"Look, I swear on Omar's life, what I saw was true!" Gooch says as Omar squeals before spitting goo on the floor. "Oh, Omar!" Gooch groaned as he went to clean it up.
"He, he, that was fun," Saurus says as he and the others were now walking down the boardwalk. "Well, now that I got my new clothes and scared away the bad guy, what do you guys want to do now?" Saurus asked before hearing a rumbling noise as he looks towards a sheepish Steven. "Well, that answers my question. What do you guys want to eat?"
"Oh, I know! Let's get some bits!" Steven says while running off as the rest followed.
"Bits?" Saurus asked as they reached a small building with a big sign that says 'Beach City Fries'. "Not every original with the names, are they?" Saurus says as Amethyst shrugs.
"Hey, Fryman, give me the bits!" Steven says to the man, who was working behind the counter as the older man gave him a tired look. The older man is a 6-feet-tall, 37-years-old Man with black eyes, a fry-shaped blonde hairdo, thick dijon-colored eyebrows, a small pointy nose, a sharp chin with a dijon-colored beard, Caucasian Skin, a tall thick build, and his outfit consists of a red visor, a white apron with a short-sleeved light dull red t-shirt underneath, gray shorts, and yellow shoes. His name is Mr. Fryman, the owner of Beach Citywalk Fries, and the father of Ronaldo Fryman and Peedee Fryman.
"Steven, we're closed."
"Aww, what?" Steven says as, after Amethyst noticed his disappointment, she decided to chime in.
"Give him the bits!" Amethyst says while slamming her hands on the counter as she started chanting. "THE BITS! THE BITS! THE BITS!" Seeing what Amethyst is doing, Steven decided to join in.
"THE BITS! THE BITS! THE BITS!" Saurus sighed in annoyance at their antics as he looked up to Fryman, who looked stressed out by their chanting as well.
"You better give them what they want, or else they will do this all day," Saurus warns him as Fryman groans.
"Okay, okay! Take it easy on the counter, will ya?" Fryman says as he went back to cook Steven's fry bits.
"Yes!" Steven and Amethyst shared a high-five as Saurus rolled his eyes in amusement, and, after Fryman finished cooking the fry bits, he placed them in a bag and handed them to Steven.
"I can give you actual fries if you want." Fryman says as Steven shook his head.
"Just the bits, please," Steven says as he grabs the bag and walks away. "Thanks!" Steven says to Fryman before eating his fry bits as he shared them with Saurus and Amethyst. "Ah, sunset, my favorite time of the day. When the sun goes down, and the second sun gets bigger and bigger in the sky." Steven says as Saurus gave him an odd look while Amethyst laughs.
"Second sun? What are you talking about..." Saurus says before stopping in mid-sentence at the sight of two suns in the sky.
"Yeah, that big hot second sun-Whoa!" Amethyst says before gasping as she saw a very familiar object in the sky. "Oh no, what is that doing here?"
"And what is that?" Saurus asked, but Amethyst didn't respond as she grabbed Steven and Saurus from the ground and ran off. "W-Whoa! Hey! Put me down!" Saurus says while blushing in embarrassment due to feeling Amethyst getting a handful of his ass as Steven accidentally lets go of his bag of bits.
"Ah, my bits!" Steven wailed as, after a few minutes of running, they made it back to the temple and spotted Garnet and Pearl standing on the beach.
"This is bad."
"Look at the size of it! I had no idea these things were so big!" Pearl says while peering through a telescope.
"Garnet! Pearl!" Amethyst screams while running towards them, still holding the boys. "Did you-?"
"We saw," Pearl says as Amethyst put the boys down, and Saurus gave her an annoyed glare.
"Did you have to carry us?" Saurus asked as she smirked at him.
"Yep," Amethyst says while slapping Saurus's ass as he yelped in surprise.
"Oh, hey, Saurus. Love the new clothes." Pearl says as Garnet gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks," Saurus says with a smile before getting serious as he looked up at the sky. "So, what are we dealing with?" Saurus says as Pearl was about to respond, but Steven cut her off.
"Whoa! It's a giant eyeball!" Steven says while peering into the telescope. "Awesome!" Steven says as Saurus took a peek through the telescope and grimaces.
"More like weird, to be honest."
"No! Not awesome nor weird! It's a Red Eye!" Pearl says angrily as Steven gasped.
"A Red Eye!? It's going to infect us all!" Steven screams as Saurus Facepalms.
"That's pink eye, Steven," Garnet says as Amethyst laughs.
"It's going to crash into Beach City and crush us, along with a bunch of oblivious, innocent people! We have to stop it!" Pearl says, reminding everybody of the mission as they stared up at the Red Eye warily.
"What are we going to do?" Steven asked.
"The only thing powerful enough to destroy it is a light cannon that belongs to Rose Quartz," Garnet says as Steven looks up at her.
"My mom?"
Do you know the whereabouts of Rose's cannon?" Saurus asked, but Pearl shook her head.
"No, it's missing." She says as Amethyst moans angrily.
"If Rose was here, this would be so easy!"
"I know, but she's not, and the cannon is missing. We'll have to find another solution." She says as Saurus looked up at the Red Eye thoughtfully.
"Maybe if I go all out, I can break it myself." Saurus thought to himself before sighing as he shook his head. "No, it won't work. It's too big, plus even with my strength, it will take time to break something with that much mass. Time we don't have, we need to find another solution."
"If it belongs to my mom, I bet my dad knows where it is. He can help us save the day!" Steven says excitedly as the Crystal Gems cringe.
"Greg is...nice, but I doubt Rose would entrust someone like him with such a powerful weapon," Pearl says as Amethyst shrugged carefully.
"Your dad is kind of a mess, Steven,"
"AMETHYST!"
"I'm just saying, even if she did leave it with him, he probably broke it, or lost it, or dropped in the ocean by now." Amethyst says as Garnet nodded in agreement.
"True," Garnet says as Saurus decided to speak up.
"We don't know if he lost it or not. I'm with the kid on this one, I think we should at least check it out."
"Thank you!" Steven says, happy that someone supported his idea as he turned around. "I'll go ask him."
"We can handle this, kids," Garnet says before turning to Amethyst. "Ready?" Amethyst nods as Garnet picks her up and tosses her to the Red Eye, to no effect, making Amethyst fall into the ocean.
"...I'm gonna go," Steven says while running off as Pearl half-heartedly waves him off.
"Okay, good luck." Pearl says as Garnet turns to Saurus.
"You wanna go." Saurus says while holding out her hand as Saurus sweatdropped.
"Kid! Wait for me!" Saurus screams as he runs off.
"DAD! IT'S ME! DAD, ARE YOU IN THERE?!" Steven screams as he banged on the door of the van. "WAKE UP! WE NEED TO SAVE THE WORLD!"
"Um, you do know the door is open, right?" Saurus asked while leaning on a wall of a car wash named 'It's a Wash' that Steven's dad apparently owned.
"DAD!" Steven screams before climbing onto the roof of the van.
"Oh, you're going to ignore me? That's great." Saurus says sarcastically as Steven stomped his feet before tripping as the Human/Gem Hybrid accidentally set off the van's alarm.
"Ah, geez," Saurus says while rubbing his temples as Steven smiled, and soon enough, a man bursts out of the van while carrying a waffle iron. Steven's Dad appears to be a 5'1-feet-tall, 36-year-old Man with black eyes, waist-length taupe hair in the style of a mullet with a large bald spot on the top of his head, thick taupe eyebrows, a small pointy nose, a sharp chin with a dark-beige beard that surrounded his mouth, Peachy Red Skin With Tan Lines, and his outfit consists of a short-sleeved black shirt, long gray jeans, and teal-colored sandals. His name is Gregory 'Greg' Universe, the Late Rose Quart's Husband, Steven's Father, and the current owner of 'Its a Wash!'.
"Who's there? I have a waffle iron, and I'm not afraid to use it!" Greg threatens while waving the waffle iron around as it nearly hits Saurus in the face.
"Hey! Watch where you're waving that thing!" Saurus says as Greg blinked and was about to respond, but Steven cut him off.
"Dad, it's me!" Steven says as Greg looks up and blinks as he shuts off the alarm.
"Steven?" Greg asked confusedly as Steven jumps down and hugs him. "I nearly waffled a kid face off because of you! What are you doing up so late?"
"What do you mean? The sun went down an hour ago." Steven says as Greg blushes.
"Oh, heh. It was a slow day at the car wash." Greg says before turning to Saurus as he smiled at him. "Hey, sorry for almost waffling your face off. The names Greg Universe, I'm Steven's father." Greg says while holding his hand out for a handshake.
"Saurus." Saurus says while shaking his hand. "I'm Steven's new friend."
"And roommate!" Steven says as Saurus rolls his eyes.
"I still haven't changed my mind, Steven," Saurus says as Steven pouted. "Anyway, Mr. Universe, it was nice to meet you, but we came here on business," Saurus says as Greg raises an eyebrow.
"Business?"
"Oh, yeah! We need a light cannon that belongs to mom, to blow up that eyeball!" Steven exclaimed as Greg raised an eyebrow confusedly.
"Eyeball?"
"That thing over there," Saurus says while pointing at the Red Eye as they saw Amethyst flying towards it, but fail to smash it and fell into the ocean.
"Wait, is this a magical thing? The Gems told me to not get involved with magic stuff. I-It could be dangerous or interfere with what's left of my hair." Greg says while rubbing his bald spot as Steven frowned at him.
"But they need Mom's cannon! You've gotta know where it is! Like a cave dungeon or a cloud fortress, or in a clam at the bottom of the ocean!" Steven says excitedly, but Greg still looked uncertain.
"Look, Mr. Universe, you don't have to interfere. Just give us the cannon, and we'll handle the rest." Saurus says as Greg sighs heavily and nodded.
"Well, I know it's not in a clam at the bottom of the ocean, but I do think I have an idea where it is," Greg says as the boys smiled, and, later on, we see Greg taking the boys to a U-Storage facility as Steven looked at it in amazement.
"A magical storage unit!" Steven says while rushing inside as Saurus laughs.
"Not everything needs to be magical, Steven." Saurus says before whispering to Greg. "It's not magical, right?"
"Ha, not exactly. But some would say there's magic inside." Greg says while winking as Saurus blushed embarrassedly and Steven stared at him cluelessly. "It's just a shed I use to keep things that don't fit in the van. If it's anywhere, it'll be in here." Greg says as he opens the door and shows a shed filled with junk and clutter.
"Whoa!" Steven says, amazed as Saurus's face paled.
"This guy is a hoarder!" Saurus thought to himself while sweatdropping.
"If I'm going in there, I'm gonna need some gear!" Steven says as Saurus looks around and saw a sock and a flashlight.
"Here, kid. Use this." Saurus says as Steven beams and ties the flashlight to his head with the sock.
"Okay, here I go." Steven says as Greg wrapped an electric cord around his waist, and Steven ventured off.
"Good luck," Greg says as Steven crawls into the shed, leaving Saurus alone with Greg as an awkward silence pierced the air.
"...So...you had sex with a Gem...how does that work?" Saurus asked bluntly as Greg blushed. With Steven, we see him admiring the inside of Greg's shed as he gasped in wonder.
"Whoa, cool! It's like a dad museum." Steven says while going in deeper as he saw a cannon-shaped object. "There it is!" Steven says before pulling it out, and much to his confusion, it turns out to be a bag of golf clubs.
"...and that's how Steven was born," Greg says, finishing his explanation with his face completely red as Saurus hums.
"Huh, didn't know gems could shape-shift. Interesting to know, but there is something I'm still confused about. You said that Gems could only shape-shift for a few hours, and yet Rose manages to do it for 9 months? How did that work?"
"Oh, that's actually a funny story. You see-,"
"Do you golf?" Steven asks while still inside the shed as the boys turned towards the direction of his voice.
"Eh, I like to think of myself as someone who would golf...eventually,"
"Don't try it, dude. Golfing is boring as hell." Saurus says.
"Language!" Greg says firmly as Saurus groans.
"Yeah, you're defiantly Steven's father."
"Hey, there's a bunch of your old CDs!" Steven screams as Greg blinked, before chuckling as old memories started to appear in his head.
"Oh, man, I couldn't give those things away. You know, before I ran the car wash, when I was a one-man band, I traveled the whole country."
"I know dad!" Steven screamed as Saurus turned to Greg in surprise.
"You were in a band, and you traveled the whole country?" A curious Saurus asked as Greg laughs and nodded.
"Oh, yeah, but that was a long time ago. I used to play in a bunch of different cites, but that all changed when I came here to Beach City." Greg says as Saurus listened carefully. "I played a concert here, and no one showed up except-"
"An alligator!" Steven screams as Greg chuckles.
"No, it wasn't an alligator. It was your mother!"
"I know!" A laughing Steven says as Greg turns to Saurus.
"Yeah, she was the only one that showed up at my concert, and we were always together after that. Until she gave up her physical form to bring Steven into the world." Greg says with a smile before looking down somberly as he sighs. "I don't know what a magical lady like her ever saw in a plain old dope like me, but I guess I was lucky," Greg says sadly as Saurus stared at him with a rather serious look on his face.
"I don't think you're a dope, Mr. Universe. I mean, you're still here, aren't you?" Saurus asked rhetorically as Greg stared at him with a confused look. "What I mean is that if anyone else finds out they were having a magic baby, they would've run off a long time ago, but yet you decided to stay. Even with all of the magic craziness, you still want to love and take care of your child. That already shows that you're a better man than many I've come across, Mr. Universe." Saurus says as Greg blinks, before smiling as he patted Saurus back.
"Thanks, Saurus."
"Uh, Dad, I broke a photo," Steven says, interrupting their conversation.
"It's okay, buddy. If every pork chop was perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs." Greg says as Saurus raises an eyebrow.
"What kind of saying is that?"
"One I made up." Greg says cheekily as Saurus rolled his eyes.
"Dad, I found it!"
"Really?!" A shocked Greg asked.
"Get the van!" Steven yelled as Saurus turned back over to Greg.
"You heard the kid! Let's go, Mr. Universe!"
"On it!" A determined Greg says as he went over to his van to turn it on while Saurus tied the electrical cord to Greg's van.
"Alright, it's ready!" Greg nodded as he stepped on the pedal and pulled out the laser cannon with Greg's garbage as well.
"This thing could save the city! We've gotta get it to the beach!"
"How? It's too big for the van." Greg says as Steven thought carefully before an idea popped into his head as he turned to Saurus.
"Saurus, how strong are you?" Steven asked as Saurus hummed.
"Pretty strong, why?" Saurus asked as Steven points to the light cannon.
"Think you can lift the cannon and bring it to the beach?" Steven asked as Saurus smirked.
"No problem," Saurus says as he went over to the cannon. "Hmmm, judging by its weight, I should be able to pick this up in my Hybrid Form. But because of its size and that we're pressed for time, I think it's better if I go all in," Saurus says while smirking savagely as Greg stared at the kids with a confused look.
"Uh, Steven? That thing must weigh like a ton! There is no way your friend can pick that up." Greg says, but Steven waved it off.
"Eh, don't worry. Just watch."
"Watch whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?" Greg says as he watched Saurus transform into his Full Dinosaur Form and lifts up the light cannon with ease.
"Alright, let's go!" Saurus says before running off as the wind of the speed nearly blew them off.
"Come on, Dad! We need to catch up to Saurus and save the world!" Steven says while getting into the van as Greg stood there, mystified.
"But...but..."
"I'll explain in the van, but we really need to go," Steven says as Greg slowly nodded and got in the van as we cue over to Saurus and we see him sprinting across the street while carrying the light cannon as Steven and Greg hurriedly tried to catch up to him.
"Can't the van go any faster?" Steven asked as a frowning Greg shakes his head.
"This is faster. I don't know how something that big can run so fast." Greg says before looking out the window as he saw that the Red Eye was getting bigger. "That thing's getting huge it's freaking me out," Greg says with a nervous look as Steven noticed and decided to cheer him up.
"Don't worry. Come on, let's put on your CD." Steven says while grabbing one of Greg's old CDs.
"What? Really? Come on, you've heard it." Greg says, clearly embarrassed as Steven chuckles.
"You come on. Besides, Saurus haven't heard it yet. Let's see if he likes it." Steven says while inserting the disk as he opened the window.
"Man, why did I volunteer to do this?" Saurus thought to himself with an annoyed glare before looking over at the giant Red Eye as he sweatdropped. "Oh, yeah, because I have to help the Gem's save the world from a giant eyeball...and that's a sentence I never thought I say."
I know I'm not that tall
I know I'm not that smart
But let me drive my van into your heart
Let me drive my van into your heart
"What the?" Saurus thought to himself as he heard music coming out of Greg's van. "Is that one of Greg's old songs? It's quite catchy. I see where Steven gets his singing ability."
I know I'm not that rich
I'm trying to get my start
So let me drive my van into your heart
Let me drive my van into your heart
Greg's song continued to play in the background as Saurus and crew sped past a surprised Sadie, a bewildered Lars, and a confused Mr. Smiley before making it to the beach.
And if we look out of place
Well, baby, that's okay
I'll drive us into outer space
Where we can't hear what people say
Saurus huffed as he placed the cannon on the beach before transforming back to normal as the Crystal Gems were so surprised to see the cannon that they didn't notice Amethyst washing up ashore.
"Throw me again. I think I'm cracking it." Amethyst says before noticing Rose's light cannon as she gasped in shock. "Is that...?"
I know I don't have a plan
I'm working on that part
At least I've got a van
So let me drive my van into your heart
"Hey, guys!" Steven screams as he and Greg had finally made it to the beach.
"He really had it!" Pearl says as Amethyst suddenly jumps in front of her and Garnet.
"WE'RE SAVED!" Amthyst says before yelping as the Red Eye's gravity started pulling everything towards it, causing rumbling and destruction in its wake.
Let me drive my van into your heart
Let me drive my van into your heart
Let me drive my van into your heart
Let me drive my van into your heart
"Okay, less talking, more action!" Saurus says as Greg's song finished playing. "Activate the canon!"
"I don't know how it works!" Pearl screams while inspecting the cannon as Saurus's jaw dropped in disbelief.
"What do you mean you don't know how it works!?"
"It was Rose's!" Pearl shot back as a frantic Steven turned to Greg.
"Dad, how do we use it?" Steven asked as Greg shrugs.
"What do we do? What do we do?" Saurus said to himself as he looks towards Steven, and a lightbulb appeared over his head. "Steven, your gem!" Saurus says as Pearl gasps.
"He's right! Steven, you have Rose's gem!"
"That's it!" Amethyst says while lifting Steven as she rubs him against the cannon.
"Stop that," Garnet says with an annoyed tone.
"It's no use," Pearl says as Amethyst lets go of Steven.
"Fine, forget it. Throw me again."
"Brute force is not going to work against something this big. We need to find another solution." Saurus says as the gravitational pull intensifies and started dragging in the van.
"I got it!" Greg says while grabbing the electrical cord as he tried to pull back the van, but it didn't work. "Wait, nope, maybe I don't!" Greg says as Saurus runs after him and grabs the electrical cord.
"Wow, you're a lot stronger than you look." Greg as he saw that Saurus was actually pulling the van back.
"Yeah, but the gravitational pull is too strong, so I may need some help!" Saurus says while struggling as Greg went to help him.
"Please work, unlock, activate, go, please! Everyone is counting on you! You can't just be useless! I know you can help!" Steven cried.
"It's okay, Steven. We'll figure out something else, something even better!" Greg's words hit Saurus hard as he looked up at the Red Eye before looking at his arms as dark green scales started appearing.
"What do I do? If the canon doesn't work, then I have to go all out, or else we are all doomed!" Saurus thought to himself before shutting his eyes as horrible memories started appearing in his brain. "But if I do it, then I will lose control and hurt god knows how many people!" He says as the gravitational pull got stronger, and he started losing his grip on the cord. "That's it! Screw worrying, I have to go all out!" Saurus screams mentally as dark green scales appeared all over his body, and he opened his eyes as they turned dinosaur-like.
"R-R-R-Right! If every pork chop was perfect, we won't have hot dogs!" Steven says as the cannon begins to glow.
"It's working!"
"Oh, thank god," Saurus says as his scales disappeared and the cannon started charging up...before promptly falling on the ground as it continued charging.
"Steven! Saurus!"
"Right!" The Boys shouted in unison as Steven and Saurus went to pick up the cannon with the help of the Crystal Gems as they all aimed the cannon toward the Red Eye.
"Steven! Saurus!" Pearl screams.
"This is it!" Amethyst says.
"Brace yourselves!" Garnet warns as the cannon shoots a Rose shaped blast that obliterated the Red Eye but caused debris to fall from the sky as they rained down on Beach City.
"Steven, Saurus, you guys just saved most of Beach City!" Amethyst says as Saurus winces at the sight of the property damage.
"Sorry about that!" Steven says to Mr. Fryman, who had his car totaled from the falling debris.
"We don't have to pay for this, right?" Saurus asked the gems as they shook their heads. "Okay, good."
"How did you get it to work?" Pearl asked Steven.
"I just said that thing that Dad always says."
"That thing about pork rinds?"
"Hot dogs." Garnet chimed in as Saurus turned to Greg, who was tearing up.
"Rose..." Greg says as Saurus patted his back, and the older man smiled at him before panicking as he saw his car being pulled into the ocean. "My van!"
"It's okay, Dad. If every pork chop was perfect-,"
"I live in there!" Greg interrupts him as he tries to go to his van, but the tides push him back.
"I'll help him," Saurus says as he instantly transforms into his Full Dinosaur Form and walks over to the van.
"Thanks, Saurus. You're a lifesaver." Greg says as Saurus dragged the van back to shore.
"Your welcome," Saurus says before transforming back to normal as they shared a high-five and Steven walked up to them as he sighed sadly, gaining the attention of Saurus. "Hey, bud, why so down? We just saved the city from total annihilation."
"I know, but now that the crisis is over, it probably means that you're going to leave, right." Saurus grew silent as he looked around the beach before smiling as he ruffled Steven's hair.
"Oh, don't worry, kid. I'm not leaving." Saurus says as Steven and the Gems gasped in surprise at what he said.
"You aren't?"
"Yeah, this place has been crazy fun. I've only been here for 2 days, and fought a giant bug, and helped destroy a moon-sized eyeball, so of course, I'm going to stay! And since you guys are so nice, I decided that I will take you up on your offer on living here." Saurus says before looking over at the Gems. "If that's okay with you guys of course." Saurus said as the Gems looked at each other before smiling as they turned to him.
"Well, we may not know a lot about you, but you did save us from that Centipeetle monster-" Pearl begins.
"And since you did help us destroy the Red Eye-," Amethyst continues as Garnet walks up to Saurus and held out her hand.
"We decided to let you live with us for a while. Welcome to our home." Garnet finishes as Saurus shook her hand.
"It's a pleasure." Saurus says with a smirk as Steven cheers.
"Yay! New roommate! Come on, I will help you settle up!" Steven says as the tide came in and washes the van towards the sea...again.
"My van!"
"...Right after, I get your dad's van back," Saurus says while rolling his eyes as he rushed towards the sea and everyone watched him go silently before laughing as a nervous Greg went to help Saurus.
Before you guys say anything, no I'm not doing a Henry Danger crossover. I just added in Gooch and Junk and Stuff as a joke...Btw I don't own Henry Danger. Also, I will like to say that I heard that Steven Universe is apparently having a movie, and there's going to be a time skip! I still can't believe Steven has a neck now! It's so weird! Also, why does the new villain look like Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot?
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
