(Steve Saga Origins Episode - Dark Steve is Created)

Blue steve's P.O.V

Blue steve was excited as he explains the different ways that a blue steve can learn to use their abilities. Blue steve frowned slightly, feeling as if he was betraying Elder Blue by not looking for him. He looked away from rainbow steve and looked at magma who was using his hand to stop the sun to fall onto his face.

"Maybe I can get magma to help me find Elder Blue, after all, he knew about the tombs so he HAS to have more information"

Magma's P.O.V

Magma looked up at the sky, counting how many days had passed since he arrived. He knew it had been less than a week which was surprising considering how much happened during that time. In the future Elemental steve let him wander his castles for days before he had to attack or do anything.

"Hey, Magma?" A voice spoke to him and magma lowered his head and saw blue steve looking at him with intense eyes.

"I want to talk to you later about the tombs, okay?" Magma raised an eyebrow but blue steve turned to rainbow steve before he could respond.

"Okay? I know he wants to find elder blue steve but I literally told him the elders don't tell anyone where their tombs are" magma thought and shivered slightly under his jacket as he noticed it was snowing father ahead. As they enter the snow biome magma can't help but shiver slightly every few minutes since he was made to handle the heat and only the blue steves he absorbed kept him from feeling the full force of the cold. Magma rubbed his hands together to keep some heat in them and exhaled some white air. Magma knew that while he would be very uncomfortable he would live because he had to have travel colder areas when he was chasing people (Like Sabre and Future Rainbow steve). They continued their walk for a few minutes with the temperature becoming colder and a snowstorm seems to be about to brew. A loud crash filled the group's ears and lighting began to strike the top of a mountain ahead of them.

"What is that!?" Blue steve yelled over the lightning. Rainbow steve looked around with a scared expression.

"I-it could be N-nightmare steve!" Rainbow steve stuttered. Blue steve shrugged and suggested they go see what it was. They climb up the and as they reached the top they spotted a strange structure to the group. They were confused about what it was but only magma knew what it was truly for.

"Is that a-?... Dark steve ..." Magma realized that he was about to create dark steve. He knew that he would cause a lot of problems so he could just destroy the machine and be over with it but...he just couldn't. Dark steve, even another version, was his creation, his child basically, he couldn't do that to him. However, there was something else he could do...

"I can make sure that Dark steve doesn't become evil..."

"Hide!" Rainbow steve shouted before ducking behind a large pile of snow. Out of the lighting Nightmare, steve appeared. Magma could immediately sense their connection acting up and Nightmare steve looked around for a split second before turning his attention to the machine. Magma knew for a fact that the other him knew he was there but he must have known that he wouldn't have that much time before Elemental steve noticed what he was doing.

"What is he doing?" Blue steve whispered from next to magma. Magma to buzz with energy and lightning hit the nightmare steve and the machine. stayed silent and was very focused on finding and stopping Elementals steve's energy from corrupting dark steve. The air around the machine began Rainbow steve and Blue steve began to panic thinking that nightmare steve was making something evil (Which they weren't wrong but it wasn't really his fault).

"We have to destroy it" Blue steve whispered to the other two steves as magma flinched slightly at the request. Magma turned his head and watched as his counterpart disappeared and the lighting stopped.

"Where did he go?" Rainbow steve asked.

"Doesn't matter, we have to mess with that thing before he comes back!" Blue steve refuted. The two steve ran over to the structure and began to break apart some piece of magma and glass before the fighting began to rain down again. The younger steve hid behind a group of trees while magma watch from where he had yet to move a muscle. They waited and hid as Nightmare Steve searched for them before fixing the broken and missing parts. Strangely enough Nightmare steve never once came near magma which confused him. This was repeated 2 more times before the duo came near magma again.

"Magma! We need help. Nightmare steve fixes the machine faster than we can destroy it!" Blue steve whispered to him before lighting happened once more singly that nightmare steve was returning. Magma gulps down his saliva down his dry throat and runs to the machine knowing it would put him in a bad position in he didn't make any attempts.

"Break the things that are not important, Break the things that are not important" Magma chanted in his head as he punched a magma block only for his hand to bounce off of it. Magma was surprised for a moment before realizing that the blocks were infused with nightmare steve's energy making them unbreakable to magma.

"Uhhhh...guys I can't break the blocks?" Magma's statement sounding more like a question. Blue steve walked over and magma tried again only to get the same result. Blue steve's eyebrows shot and he began to mumble under his breath and magma barely heard anything before the fighting began once more. The two steve parted ways and hid away waiting for nightmare steve to leave. After two more times nightmare, steve finished and lightning began to hit everything within 20 meters of the structure causing the group to back farther from the "evil steve". As the lighting finally calmed down a new steve started flickering in and out inside of it. Magma then noticed a dark yellow like dust drawing closer to the machine and immediately sensed that it was elemental steve's. He stretched out his hand and focused his own lighting that was not noticed due to the other lighting happening, on the dust getting closer to the machine and all of it disappeared. Magma nodded satisfied with his work turned to look at the world's dark steve. Dark steve had black spiky hair similar to nightmare steve, a black jacket with a dark grey shirt, black ripped jeans, and strangely enough black boots with gray fur on the top similar to magmas. The new steve opened his crimson red eyes and looked around curiously with an innocence that magma hadn't seen in a VERY long time. His skin unlike the dark steve in his world was a soft brown color similar to an oak tree. As magma admires technically his newborn son, rainbow steve asks what it is.

"IT?!? That my child-" Magma thought angrily and bit his tongue hard enough to draw blood to keep himself from screaming at him. Blue steve panics and begins to ramble about how they need to go and because of blue steve's shock nightmare steve hears. He turns his head in their direction and seems content on ignoring them before his face turns into one of pure panic and fear for a moment before turning back in a black expression as his eyes flash gold. Nightmare steve begins to chase them and eventually they manage to lose him or maybe elemental steve wants to see dark steve. Magma knows that while dark steve will have his own mind...elemental steve would just control him as he did to him and nightmare steve which might be worse considering how young he is.

"...That's a dark steve?" Rainbow steve asks blue steve and blue steve nods in response.

"That is the first one I've seen but now we have a new enemy" Magma turns in the direction where dark steve was not letting the tears drop from his now moist eyes.

"I'm sorry Dark steve...maybe it would have been better for you not to exist instead of being a slave for him..."
