Nightmare Steve's Second Chance

CHAPTER 22 - The Blue Artifact

(Steve Saga Origins Episode - Ruins of the Blue Steve Village)

Blue Steve's P.O.V

"Nononononono..." I repeated over and over again as I watched what remained in my old home. My eyes began to burn with tears and slid down his cheeks, freezing slightly from the cold weather. I took a step forward before tripping only to be caught by magma. Magma carefully sat me down on the floor rubbing my back.

"Breath blue steve...in and out," Magma told him in a soft tone. It was only then that blue Steve realized he had begun to hyperventilate. I took a shaky breath in and exhaled again, focusing on the warm hand on his back as he tried to regain control of his breathing.

Magma's P.O.V

"That's it. Breath..." Magma whispered to the traumatized steve next to him. He was mentally kicking himself because he realized that he and dark steve had come to the village earlier and destroyed it.

"At least I know what I was forgetting now," Magma thought sadly as he watched blue steve's grayish eyes shine with more tears. Magma was upset and not at blue steve, at himself. This was one of the few times that Elemental Steve took complete control of his body that he wouldn't remember much from the event. If he remembered correctly, which he might not, elemental steve was testing dark steves abilities and limits on the village. It took a few minutes and rainbow steve convincing blue steve that there would be some survivors before he was standing in front of one of the destroyed buildings.

"H-hello?? Anyone still here!!?" Blue Steve shouted while trying to keep his coat from flying into his face. Blue steve didn't wait and simply began to fly away shouting if anyone was there. Rainbow steve followed blue steve's advice and did the same thing. Rainbow steve then spotted another blue colored person hiding behind a pillar of snow and ice.

"Hello? Wait! I'm not going to hurt you!" Rainbow steve shouted to the figure who tried to run away but tripped and fell into the snow before he could get far. Magma ran forward and kneeled near the injured blue steve.

"Rainbow steve go get Blue steve" Magma ordered rainbow steve. Rainbow steve hesitated for a second before going to find blue steve. Magma focused his attention back on the blue steve and assessed the damage. The blue steve wore a blue and white striped scarf, with a light blue shirt and blue pants with light blue boots that were painted with small droplets of red. The blue steve looked fine and a little dirty but the worst injury he had was on his left leg that lay a barge bleeding burning the size of magma's fist. The pant was dark blue almost purple from the blood and seemed to be black at the edges of the burn.

"This might hurt a little bit..." magma said putting his hand on the blue steve burn and his hand glowed a light green as he began to heal the injury. As he expected the blue steve let out a high-pitched whimper and tried to get away from magma's hand but he put his other hand on the blue steve's back to keep him in place. After a minute magma retracted his hand and all that remained from the burn was a red scar.

"Well...that is the best I can do I suppose..." Magma knew that he wasn't a green steve, but could heal because of the green steve energy he had, so he can't heal things the way a green steve could. Magma stood up and offered the blue steve a hand and after a few seconds, he accepted.

"What is your name?" magma asked the poor steve gently. The steve bit his lip before responding slowly.

"My..my n-name is blue steve b-but, most call m-me S-sky" The blue steve now known as sky whispered in a low voice. Before Magma could ask any more questions blue steve flew and gave the sky a very strong hug before pulling back.
