Sword and Shield.(A Steven x Connie fanfiction)[StevenUniverse]

The Gem Queen.

(Guess who's back back)

Connie woke up in a strange crystal chamber, looking around in fear she heard a calming but cold voice. "Hello there human," the voice said the word human with disgust in it's voice. From the darkness a figure emerged, it was a villain they had tangled with before, Yellow Diamond.

Steven curls up on the ground, tears running down his cheeks and dripping to the soft sand. His best friend, the girl he spent years with, the girl...he came to love, was gone. He had the chance to save her but he blew it, he let them be defused and he couldn't get to her. Then he feels a hand on his back and he looks up, Garnet has a stern look but when she looks down at him the expression softens. "Steven...we will find her, I promise you. We promise you..." Pearl and Amethyst stood behind their fusion friend, nodding when she says they promise him. Slowly the young gem stands and speaks "We need to follow the gem creature, any possible way we can. I'll make seaweed come alive to guide us..." He formulates the plan as he speaks, taking a step forward with new confidence. "We will find her whatever it takes!"

Meanwhile, Connie was being addressed by the Queen of the Gem Homeworld. "You and your crystal gem friends are scum, how dare you get in the way of our control over this pitiful planet?!" Connie had enough, she couldn't take this oral torment anymore. "SHUT. UP! The Earth is my home! If home is where the heart is then mine is with Steven, and he will do whatever it takes to save that so-called pitiful planet!" She cries out, her voice breaking as tears stain her cheeks and splatter on the ground. The royal Gem was taken aback, nobody ever addressed her with such disrespect, and she would make sure nobody ever did again. She immediately grabbed a whip she collected for the human prisoners, she pulls her hand back and snaps the whip on Connie's cheek, making a deep cut and causing the human to scream. "Y-you...you bitch!" Connie screams, grabbing the whip as it's brought down again and pulling Yellow Diamond towards the cage, but as the crystal bars touched her physical form she screamed in pain, disappearing with a poof with the gem laying on the ground. Finally, Connie raises her foot and smashes the gem with it, fueled by rage.
