Steven Universe: The Return [FanFiction English]

19. I'll Be Back

[Some Gems do their best to get up off the ground and keep fighting, even though they have taken a lot of damage from Pink Steven.]

Holly Blue Agate: *impressed* H-How could he beat them so easily?!

[Pink Steven floats up to the sky.]

Pink Steven: I didn't want to fight!!

[All The Gems tremble in terror.]

Pink Steven: It was all of you who forced me to!!

[Floating in midair, Steven makes hundreds of hexagon-shaped shields.]

[Holly Blue Agate looks up as she shivers in terror.]

Holly Blue Agate: I-I find it hard to believe this is the same Steven I know! Why did he turn pink!? Is his half-diamond coming out?!

Pink Steven: I'm going to save everyone!

[Steven launches his pink shields around all Gems present, pinning them in place just as he did with Jasper some time ago.]

Pink Steven: No matter what!!

[Holly Blue Agate bursts out laughing.]

Pink Steven: *turns to Holly Blue* What are you laughing at?!?!

Holly Blue Agate: So... you're finally showing your true self, huh?

Pink Steven: Eh?

Holly Blue Agate: And you call yourself the savior of the universe? *laughs* Nice facade, indeed. Now I realize what a phony you are - you're a fraud!

Pink Steven: *enraged* Grrr! What are you getting at?!

Holly Blue Agate: Earlier, a certain savior said that we had hurt a lot of innocent Gems, that doing so was wrong, that we were really bad guys and blah, blah, blah.

Pink Steven: What the heck are you talking about!?

Holly Blue Agate: That being said, let me ask you this...

Pink Steven: ...

Holly Blue Agate: What are YOU doing right now, Steven Universe?

[A perplexed Steven turns to see the Gems he's forcibly pinned down, including his friends.]

Pink Steven: Oh, no! *holds his pink hands out in front of him* Why... is this... back? I thought... I was over it. *covers his face*

[Steven tears up as his pink form slowly fades away, returning him back to normal. Steven ceases floating and falls heavily on the ground as he releases all the Gems he had pinned down with his shields.]

Steven: *in tears* I-I still need a lot of... help!

[The Gems swiftly get up from the ground and surround a collapsed Steven.]

Holly Blue Agate: Who would've thought you were equal to or worse than the Diamonds? *walks over to Steven* At least they weren't hiding their true intentions.

[As Steven lies on the ground, an engine whirring is heard, and everyone turns to see a ship heading down.]

Holly Blue Agate: What the--?! Where did that ship come from?! It's not even from Homeworld!

[The mysterious spaceship fires at the Gems who had Steven surrounded, causing them to move away from him. Then the ship lands next to Steven, the door opens and someone shouts.]

????: Steven, get in the ship!!

Steven: *thinking to himself* Who is it? Even knows my name. I think I recognize that voice, though.
