Steven Universe AU

Blue Diamonds Dragon

"You two ever been under water?" "We have actually! It was actually pretty frightening." "Want to again?" "No thank you, I have to train with Pearl again today." Zircon tapped Stevens head making an air tight bubble around it. "Well we'll be in the water if you need us." "And we'll be on the beach!" Zircon picked Steven up and chucked him in the air. "Be careful!" Zircon looked back at Pearl and winked at her before jumping in the air meeting up with Steven. "You know how to land in water right?" He looked at her and shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "Oh, Steven." She grabbed him and crashed into the deepest part of the ocean. "You ok Steven?" He looked at the darkness then at her. "I'm fine!" She laid back and looked at her Diamond. "Still clean and unscratched." Steven went down deeper into the darkness and stopped when he landed on something solid.
    "Weird.." He poked at it making its eye open. Steven looked at the purple eye and quickly swam a way as it looked at him. "Zircon!!!" She looked at him and watched him swim by in a panic. "Steven..?" She turned around and looked inside of the dark abyss until she saw a purple glow. "Steven!" She swam to him and grabbed him heading straight for the Top. "What is that!?" She bursted out of the water with Steven and stood on top of it looking down in a panic. "Zircon?" She threw him onto the sand next to Pearl making her watch as the huge creature came out of the water snapping at Zircon and flying in the air. "Get inside!" They all looked back at Garnet and quickly headed inside.
   "Make sure she'll be ok." "Pearl.." "Just don't let her get shattered." Garnet summoned her gauntlets and punched them together. "Zircon where are you?" Zircon crashed down in front of her and slowly stood up. "I'm right here.." She summoned her scythe and put her helmet on. "Now, I'm angry." She tightly gripped her scythe and snapped her fingers making her helmet light up with red fire. "She can set stuff on fire!?" "Not now Steven." Zircon moved out of the way when it spit its blue flames at her. She jumped up on its arm and started climbing her way up. "Garnet! I'm gonna try and get its head to the ground, use your best hits."
    Garnet nodded her head and got ready waiting patiently. Zircon jumped up with her scythe and stuck it in its chin slowly dragging it down. "Now Garnet!" Garnet started punching quickly with all of her strength on its face making it yank up. "Argh!" Zircon let go of her scythe as she quickly escalated in the air and snapped her fingers making it appear in her hands again. "How dare you!" She struck its head making it stumble back away from Garnet. She then broke it in two sticking one piece in its scales and jumped off with the other. "I'm doing it again Garnet." "Right." She jumped up on the other side and attached it to the stuck piece. She jumped down again pulling its head down with her. "Hurry Garnet-!" It smacked Garnet away making her slide across the sand. "Garnet!" The Dragon lifted up again snapping her in its mouth.

"Zircon!"

    Garnet got up and looked up at the Dragon as it Smiled at her. "Let me out!" She angrily pushed up on the roof of its mouth slowly prying it open. "Guys we have to help out!" "We can't Steven!" Steven looked at Connie and the others angrily. "I can't believe we're sitting here watching this happen like this! We're the Crystal Gems and we help others in need!" "Steven I wish you could understand." Pearl stood next to him and kneeled down to his level. "That is Blue Diamonds Dragon. Us Gems have no affect against it like Zircon." "That's ridiculous! Then why's Garnet out there helping!?" "Because little man Garnet is the strongest out of all of us and she can at least do a little damage to it." Steven turned away from the others and looked outside again looking for Zircon. "Steven-" he pulled away from Pearl angrily trying not to show his face. "Leave me alone." She looked at Steven and sighed getting up and looking out of the Window. "I wish we could help Steven I really do..but we need you to understand that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses."

    Zircon opened its mouth and held it open with her scythe. "You're trying to melt me!?" She jumped out taking her scythe with her and stumbled as she landed on the ground. "Zircon are you ok!?" She shook her head and clutched onto her scythe trying to stay up. "I can't beat it here.." Garnet looked at her then back at the Dragon. "What are you planning to do?" The Dragon spit fire at Garnet making her back up onto the wall. "This is going to suck." Zircon dropped her scythe and ran over to Garnet blocking the fire. "What are you doing!?" Garnet got quiet when she saw Zircon in front of her, with her feet planted on the wall and a claw sticking through her chest. "Sorry...I tried to keep it from breaking them.." Garnets Shades broke in two showing tears forming in her eyes. "Don't cry Garnet..! You know I'm coming back soon." It removed its Claw and flew up high in the air thinking her Diamond was destroyed.

    "Zircon! I don't know how to keep you safe!" Garnet picked her up as she slowly started to melt away. "Just put me...anywhere, silly.." Garnet grabbed her Diamond before it touched the ground and stood up. "Garnet?" She put her Shades back on her face by waving her hand and started walking towards Pearl and the others. "Where's Zircon?" She stopped and looked down at Steven when he eagerly asked his question. "I have failed her." She said to him and started walking inside. "What do you mean?" He said following her. She bubbled her Diamond and let it float over the counter letting everyone see. "Oh no.." Garnet went in her room and punched the wall. "I can't believe I've failed.." She sat there and wiped her face sitting in utter silence.
