The Lost Gempire Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Secret of the Gem
(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Steven Universe!)

7 years ago

There were people working on construction.
A man was in charge of the whole operation.
“Alright, just a few more things and this should be done,” he said.
A woman brought him some food and a drink.
“You can’t work on an empty stomach dear,” she said.
“Thank you Virginia,” he said, “By the way have you seen Samus?”
A young girl was walking around the city.
“Where did that little creature get off to?” she asked herself.
“Hey Samus, get over here!” called some other kids, “A spaceship just landed here!”
“Where?!” asked Samus.
She rushed over with them.
Some people were talking with some humanoid bird-like creatures.
“Consider it done,” said one of the people.
It seemed like they were discussing some important trades.
Samus was running and bumped into one of the creatures.
It turned around and looked at her.
Samus’ father saw her.
“Samus what are you doing over here?”
“Papa?” asked Samus.
“Is this your first time ever seeing a Chozo?” he asked.
Samus nodded her head.
“There’s no need to be alarmed, for we are a race of birds who wish for nothing more than harmony with all sentient beings,” said the chozo, “I am known as Old Bird, but Bird Grandpa is fine as well.”
“Bird grandpa?” asked Samus.
“Would you like to be friends?” asked Old Bird.
“I’m Samus Aran, 7 years old,” said Samus, “And sure.”
She pulled him over somewhere.
“I need help with something,” said Samus.
“Please continue without me,” said Old Bird.
Samus was looking at a bunny.
“I’m trying to get that bunny down, and since you’re a bird maybe you can help,” said Samus with a smile.
“I don’t think that’s possible,” said Old Bird, “Our wings were lost years ago.”
“Now what can I do?” asked Samus.
“Well, maybe that creature wants to be your friend as well,” said Old Bird, “Try coming up with a name for it?”
Samus thought of something.
“Pyonchi!” said Samus.
The bunny looked at Samus and jumped into her arms.
They both laughed.
Later after the businss was dealt with, the choso decided to leave.
“Will I see you again?” asked Samus.
“Do not worry Samus,” said Old Bird, “I know deep in my heart we will meet again. Until then, take good care of yourself.”
He got into the ship.
“Come back soon!” said Samus.
Little did they know that an army of space pirates led by Akbar Shah was looking at the planet.
“There’s a gem here,” said Akbar Shah taking off his mask, “Prepare a landing party.”
“Yes sir,” said one of the pirates.
A giant dragon like creature was watching.
“You’re with me Ridley,” said Akbar Shah, “I have a special task for you.”
The next day the alarms went off.
“What’s going on?” asked Samus’ father.
He looked at the computer screen and saw something.
“Its them,” he said, “Alert the soldiers, we got company!!”
Samus was playing with her bunny.
She then saw something.
It was an explosion.
Samus took cover quickly.
Akbar Shah’s ship landed and he ordered the space pirates to attack.
“Destroy anyone who stands in our way!” he said.
Samus’ father went to a special area and pulled a gem out of the cabinet.
“They have to be after this,” he said, “We have to get it to safety!”
Ridley was destroying everything in site.
“Mama, papa?” asked Samus.
Ridley saw her.
A space pirate approached Ridley.
“Sir, we’ve cleared out the area and Akbar Shah is currently looking for the gem.
“Excellent,” said Ridley.
“You’re Ridley?” asked Samus, “I-I’m Samus…. W-w-we could be friends?”
He looked at her again.
“I’m sorry miss that’s impossible,” said Ridley, “Because I’m about to KILL YOU!!!!”
He was about to burn samus with his fire breath.
Virginia got in the way and suffered dearly.
“MAMA!” shouted Samus.
Samus’ father and the other soldiers were going to a shuttle with the gem.
“The door’s jammed!” said one of the soldiers.
They heard footsteps.
“Give me the gem,” said a voice.
It was Akbar Shah.
He ignited his spear.
“Open fire!” said Samus’ father.
They started firing, but Akbar Shah blocked all of the attacks.
He started killing off all of them one by one.
Other soldiers from the other side saw Samus’ father.
“Take the gem, GO!” he said as he handed it to them.
Akbar Shah killed him.
The other soldiers got to the shuttle.
“LAUNCH!!!!” said one of them.
The shuttle got into space.
Akbar Shah was furious.
“Pull back the division,” he said.
They all left the city.
The chozo returned and saw what a big mess it was.
“Its all been destroyed,” said Old Bird.
He heard a voice.
“Mama, Papa?” asked Samus.
She then saw old bird.
“Bird Grandpa?” asked Samus.
“I can’t believe it,” said Old Bird, “Samus!”

Now….

Steven was with Connie watching a concert with Connie.
“I can’t believe your mom actually gave us tickets for this concert!”
“I know right,” said Connie who was super excited, “Hey where’s Peridot?”
Peridot was in the middle of a mosh pit.
“Get me outa here you clods!” he shouted.  
“I still can’t believe you fought with THE Captain Falcon!” said Connie, “She’s said to be the most legendary soldier known to man.”
“Yeah,” said Steven.
He was secretly thinking about what happened in Roses room where he met his mom.
“You ok?” asked Connie.
“Yeah I’m ok,” said Steven, “Just thinking about…. My mom.”
“What about her?” asked Connie.
“I just don’t believe she would ever do anything terrible,” said Steven, “But other gems keep saying she did.”
“Well whether it true or not, we’ll figure it out,” said Connie placing her hand on his, “Together.”
A guy saw Connie and decided to hit on her.
“Hey lady, you wanna take a slow dance with me?” he asked.
“You don’t want to slow dance with me in front of my boyfriend,” she said using her mind trick.
“I don’t wanna dance with you in front of your boyfriend,” he said.
“You want to go ask that girl over there instead,” she said.
“I want to go ask that girl over there instead,” he said as he walked away.
They both laughed.
Later they walked home with Connie on Steven’s back.
“You’ve gotten a little taller,” said Connie.
“Oh really?” asked Steven.
“Yep,” said Connie, “Looks like I might actually have to look up to you someday.”
They finally got home and saw Garnet looking at a new scanning device that was created.
“So how was it?” asked Garnet.
“It was really cool,” said Steven, “But Peridot got himself into a mosh pit. Again.”
“How’s the scanning device I made?” asked Connie.
“It works great Connie, thanks again for making it,” said Pearl, “With this we can find other gems who might be on the planet.”
Connie started to yawn.
“Well, I think I’m gonna go catch some Z’s,” said Connie.
“Don’t forget Connie, tomorrow we have sword training,” said Pearl.
“You got it Ma’am,” said Connie as she went to her room.
Steven looked.
“Anything yet?” asked Steven.
“Not really,” said Pearl, “We’ve had this for over a week now and you think we would’ve found something by now.”
“Maybe its busted,” said Amethyst.
“Not quite,” said Pearl.
Steven went upstairs to get some sleep.
Later that evening when everyone was asleep an alarm was going off.
Several ships were heading to the Earth going to a location where they believed a special gem was located.
In one ship was a group of Emerald Gem soldiers.
“You know the drill,” said Akbar Shah, “Find the gem and report back to my division.”
“Yes sir,” said the emeralds.
