Steven Universe: For Homeworld

Divide and Conquer

Emma was sitting on the beach as she watches Erin and Leon spar. Erin sat down after a while, his staff lying next to him.

"Come on, that can't be all you got." said Leon. "Hey, I'm not as energetic as you." said Erin.

"Why are you so interested in training? It's like we can't take them. They lost a large number of their allies with that forced fusion, while we gained more." said Emma.

"I've been gone for three years, then poofed for a week. I don't want to lose my edge.

'Also, Red and Ichigo bother me. She looks like us and Red made sure she could escape.

'Red is a topaz like Blue. Ichigo is more than likely a hybrid like us. I just don't know what they're planning next." said Leon.

'Trust me, you haven't lost it. If you asked me, it appears as if you're stronger.

'Did something happen when you were fused with Edom?" said Erin.

Leon knew the answer but didn't want to say. "Maybe I just tapped into my inner warrior."

"Yeah. That's surely it." said Emma sarcastically. Leon only gave a wide grin at her before helping Erin to stand back up.

The three of them were about to leave when Leon looked at toward the sea."What's wrong?" asked Erin.

"It feels like something is out there." said Leon. Erin and Emma looked around but never saw nor sensed whatever Leon was.

"I don't see anything. You sure you're not just imagining it?" said Emma. "No. When I came back as Serpentine a while back, I could feel something in the water that wasn't supposed to be there.

'It doesn't feel like that now but it still feels like we're being watched by something or someone." said Leon.

"Or you could just still be on edged after dealing with Red and Ichigo. After all, you were poofed and had to fight soon after."

Leon raised his hands. The water around the beach recede back about 50 ft. All that was revealed under it was just sand and other debris.

"See, there's nothing out there." Leon let out a sigh as he let the water come back. He was about to agree when he saw something shimmer briefly.

"Did you see that?" asked Leon. "See what?" asked Erin. Leon raised a large portion of the water high the air before letting it fall like rain.

All the water fell back down except for one area where the water appeared to rain off the sides of something.

"You saw that, right?" "Yeah." "It, it can't be." said Emma baking up a little.

"What's wrong?" asked Erin looking at her. "She is the only one, who's ship can camouflage.

'I never thought who would actually call for help." said Emma. "We need to get the others.

'Just have to act calm and act like we never saw anything." said Erin. "Agreed." said Leon and Emma.

The three of them started to walk away heading for the temple. A familiar laugh caused them to stop and look back.

Ichigo had her parasol over her face before slightly raising it, to show her face. Next to her were two cloaked figures.

"Funny seeing you here." said Leon. Erin and Leon briefly touched hands before fusing.

Crystal looked at them with a smirk. "Guess you need a reminder." said Crystal. His appearance slightly varied.

Crystal gained about eight inches in height, his hair was now longer and braided at the end, he now wore a silver midriff shirt with one long sleeved the other short sleeves, gray and white capri shorts, but still wore open toed boots.
