Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 32 Belief Fusion

"Craig!" Steven called out, whilst running in the Creek." Craig!" He then witnessed Jessica and Craig's friends sitting alone at the Trading Tree. "Jessica!" He walked up to her. "Where's Craig?"

"When me and my brother arrived in the creek, Ruby and Aquamarine captured him and I don't know where they are." Jessica answered.

"She told us what happened and we decided to stay here." Kelsey filled in.

"We just don't want to get hurt." J.P. added.

Steven couldn't believe his enemies took advantage the moment Craig didn't escape. "Unbelievable." He placed his hand on his face. "It's probably been almost five hours."

"At least you haven't spent all day alone."

"I was making a friend close to my age, Craig's mom ordered me to."

"That's what I've been telling them." Jessica replied. "At least most of the kids you met yesterday understood and moved on when I talked to them about it."

"It's hard to go through a day with Steven okay!?" Kelsey reacted.

Steven took a deep breath while trying to stay on topic. He still remembers that Kenneth is Xavier's brother, but he doesn't have enough time to save Craig before heading home. Then Maya and her group walked down in the Trading Tree, after telling them her time meeting Steven yesterday. "Steven?" Maya walked up to him from behind.

"Maya?" Steven turned around.

"You're here, this is perfect!"

"We know where Craig is!" Aggie smiled.

"Really!?" Steven smiled.

"Yes, we'll take you where he's right now." Keun Sup commented.

"But..." Maya stopped herself with the biggest downside of it all.

"It's Bluebird, isn't it?" Steven guessed.

"Yes. Are Connie and Lion coming back?"

"Sorry, I texted Connie and she's still busy in college." Steven then looked at the champions of the other side of the creek. This gave him an idea but it's a risky one to save Craig. "Are you willing to do me a favor?"

"We'll do what we can." Aggie responded.

"Can I get my bat, if I can make a run for it?" Maya asked.

"You're probably gonna be late, but it'll be worth a shot." Steven smiled.

"We wanna help too!" Kelsey offered.

"Craig is our friend too." J.P. added.

"Even if I get my foot hit against another brick wall, I'm doing it for my brother." Jessica putting her foot down, only to have her foot throb in pain again, with a tear falling from her eye. "But I do need an ice pack."

Steven closed his eyes, rethinking about the safety of Craig's friends and sister. But he can't deny that if he had friends at Craig's age, especially living a normal life, would do the same thing if he was captured. "Just be careful and whatever you do, follow my lead."

"No problem." Kelsey replied. Steven put together his plan with Craig's friends, sister, Maya and the champions joining in his aid. They rushed to their destination, whilst Maya ran back to get her bat from her place.

Back at the cave, Craig remained seated, still waiting for the future he saw before he woke up. But he didn't move to make Bluebird feel suspicious, even if she's not looking at him. He doesn't know when Steven's coming but he wouldn't leave him in lockdown when the day's over. Outside of the cave, Steven and the others witness the cave.
