Steven Universe AU

15 Days Until The War

"Zircon walked around the town with Steven on her shoulders and Connie by her side looking around and greeting the others." Zircon laughed at Steven as he narrated. "You're really good at that aren't you Steven?" "Well being around Onion all the time I kind of picked it up as a hobby! When I'm bored!" "How Is your mom doing Connie?" Connie looked up at Zircon and smiled. "She's doing fine thanks for asking." "Well you haven't visited her in a while so I thought I'd ask." "Ever since I told her about what you've done with me she's gone at ease she trust you completely!" "That's really good!"
Steven said jumping down. "How bout we go to the invisible island together!" Zircon and Connie looked at each other then at Steven.

   "Are you sure Steven? Last time didn't a monster attack you and Sadie?" "Yes,but come on Connie Zircon is with us!" Zircon lifted the two up and headed back up to the house. "Maybe it would be nice to have a break Connie." Zircon looked at her with a smile on her face and winked. "Just to leave all the stress behind." "If it takes the stress away then I'll do it." Zircon started running and made it to the house opening the door making the three gems look at them. "Hey Amethyst!" Zircon said as she walked by. "What's up Z!" "Hello Zircon." Pearl said as she walked by. "Hey." Garnet said leaning on the counter. "Hey." Zircon said to the two as she kept walking. "Were going to the island so...bye!" Steven said making them warp away. "The gem island?" Amethyst shrugged her shoulders at Pearl and threw herself on the couch.

   "Who knows they do literally everything together now." "She's right." Garnet said standing up straight. "But why?" Pearl said a little worked up. "Probably because they don't fuss and fight." The two looked at Amethyst then looked at each other. "We haven't fussed and fight at all!" Pearl said slightly offended. "And they don't use her. " Amethyst said shooting Pearl a sharp glare. "Now Amethyst." "I think you two should just have a day with only you two and her maybe she'll actually forgive you." The two sat there thinking to themselves then felt a large tremble shake the earth. "What was that!?" Pearl said summoning her spear. "Whatever it is it's big!" Garnet said grabbing the counter. Amethyst looked outside and saw a huge green crystal like monster emerge from the water. "What is that..?" The two looked outside with Amethyst and stood there shocked. "That thing will devour Beech City!" Pearl said bursting outside. "It has a Diamond on its for head!" Amethyst said summoning her whip. "Gems! Let's take this monster out!" Garnet yelled running out towards it. "We can't fight that thing!" Pearl said following after. "We should wait until Zircon comes back!" Amethyst said nervously laughing.

"OK Steven-!" Zircon and the two felt the tremble stopping their playing. "What was that?" "I don't know!" Steven said as he ran over to Connie. "Zircon?" Steven looked at Zircon and saw her staring out at the empty ocean. "That was a really large tremor.." She said walking back to them. "Come on you two." "Alright." Connie said quickly following behind her. "Steven?" Steven looked one more time then ran behind them warping them away from the island. "Were baaaaaack!" Steven said full of excitement. "Woah..." Connie said walking by him and watching the gems fight the large monster. "That's not good!" Zircon said running out to the others. She ran past the two and bursted out of the door. "Amethyst! Pearl! Garnet!!" She yelled out hoping they would hear but kept attacking. "Oh for the love of-" she jumped down and ran at full speed.

   "Stop attacking!!" She grabbed Amethyst and chucked her into the house. "Zircon!?" She said slowly sitting up. "We felt the tremor." Steven said as he ran up to the window. "And Zircon said that it was really bad so we came back to check up on you guys." "Aw thanks guys that's so sweet!" Amethyst said slightly sarcastic. "Look!" They all watched as Zircon grabbed Pearl and shielded her from falling rocks. "Zircon?" Zircon ignored Pearl and went for Garnet. "Argh!" Garnet punch the Diamond and scratched it a little. "Its something-" Zircon grabbed her out of the air before the large monster swiped at her. Cutting a strand of Zircons hair as she went down. "What are you doing?" Garnet said as Zircon set her down. "You can't go against that thing." "Why not?" "Look at it, your weapons did nothing against its Diamond its to strong..." "But it's heading toward the town!" Zircon looked at Steven then back at the monster. "I can get rid of it." "You can?!" "But I have to shatter it." "You can't!" Steven said holding his head.

    "Its not conscious of anything around it Steven, cracking and shattering it is going to help this time." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." Steven smiled then nodded his head giving her the signal to attack. She took off quickly in a full sprint and smiled brightly as she jumped up. "Real action!!" Connie dusted off her shorts and fixed her matching shirt with Steven. "Her take off is stronger." Garnet said watching as Zircon took the large monster down. "Let's go congratulate her!" Connie said running towards her. "Connie w-wait!" Steven said trying to stop her. "Zircooonnn!!!" Zircon looked at her in shock then jumped grabbing her holding her close as the huge monster fell on top of them. "Did she catch her in time?" Amethyst said squinting her eyes. "I don't know-!" They all looked as they saw a huge blue Explosion erupt and watched as a very confused person came from it.

    "What-!? Uh..I!? What happened!?!" She looked at her tan hands and looked down at her bright yellow stared shirt and blue shorts. "GARNET!?!" she grabbed her face and quickly unfused. Zircon looked at Connie surprised and quickly scooted away. "That wasn't supposed to happen! I'm so sorry that it did!" Connie sat there staring at her not noticing and kept quiet while heavily blushing. "Connie! Zircon!" Zircon stood up and silently walked by Garnet.
