Steven Universe: Retaliation Rebellion

Emerald and her team have dubbed themselves as The Retaliation Rebellion. The story takes place after the Steven Universe Future series. Steven is 16 years old.

**Plot outline:**

Steven and Connie come into Lars’s sun incinerator to visit him and the Off Colors in the Sun Incinerator. Steven and Connie used Lars's head to transport there. They being chased by Emerald’s destiny destroyer with Bluebird, Emerald, Mean Lapis, and Holly Blue Agate inside.

Steven and Connie come home to tell the Crystal Gems that Emerald and her team are attacking Lars’s sun incinerator. Steven, Connie, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl hop on Lion, so he uses a portal to transport them in the Destiny Destroyer.

There, they fight the Retaliation Rebellion. Bluebird is midair with her ice wings present. Garnet tries shooting her gauntlets at Bluebird, who dodges them by flying right. Bluebird then flies to hit Garnet, who dodges her. Bluebird shoots cutlasses at Garnet, but she blocks them with her gauntlets protecting her body. Holly Blue Agate tries using a whip to hit Amethyst, who moves left to evade it. Amethyst hits her whip at her face. Connie cheers "Go Amethyst!" while raising her left fist in the air with her right hand holding her sword. Mean Lapis is midair with her water wings present. Pearl tries shooting her with a spear, but she flies right to evade the energy bullets. Mean Lapis flies to the ground to punch Pearl, who dodges it by leaping backward. Pearl tries slicing Mean Lapis with her spear, but she blocks it with her water saw. Steven encounters Emerald. Emerald leaps in the air and stretches her right leg, preparing to kick him. "Eat my smelly feet!" She falls on Steven, about to kick him, when suddenly, he blocks her right leg with his shield while on his back. She struggles to squash him, while he struggles to get her right leg off of him.

Steven turns pink, screams for a second, and knocks Emerald away from him. He stands up. Emerald runs after him, but he uppercuts her, making her fly in the air, and then leaping higher than her and pushing her into the ground of the basement while breaking its ceiling (the ground where Garnet and the other gems are standing on). Steven and Emerald are in the basement, where the big heart of the Destiny Destroyer is. Steven summons a bubble on his right hand and uses it to punch Emerald, making her fly into the core, causing her to get electrical shock. Steven's skin stops glowing pink. Because the core is destroyed, the ship is falling down into a Blue Quartz colony. Lars and the Off Colors in the Sun Incinerator celebrate Emerald's defeat once again.

After the Destiny Destroyer fell into the Blue Quartz colony, it crashes and gets severely damaged. Steven was protecting his friends and Lion in a pink bubble. The Retaliation Rebellion came out of this wrecked ship while feeling debilitated. The Blue Quartz Colony is a land with the ground filled with sand and vast oceans covering most of the planet. The fight continues there.

The Crystal Gems fight on the ground. Bluebird, midair with her ice wings showing, uses ice cutlasses to fight Garnet. Bluebird flies behind Garnet and shoots a cutlass at her, but she blocks it with a gauntlet on her right hand. Garnet tries firing a gauntlet from her right hand, but Bluebird flies right. Bluebird then tries hitting Garnet with her cutlass, but she blocks it with her gauntlets. Holly Blue Agate is on the center while Amethyst is on the left, and Connie is on the right. Holly Blue Agate uses whips to fight Amethyst and Connie. Amethyst hits Holley with her purple whips on both of her hands 10 times, but Holley is unscathed. Holley traps Amethyst with her whip, but Connie uses her sword to cut it in half and free Amethyst. Holley hits her whip in the center in front of her, making Amethyst move left and Connie right. Holley hits Amethyst with an electrified whip, making Amethyst feel weak with electricity popping out of her. Connie attempts to come after Holley, but she uppercuts her, making her fly into the air and fall down. Mean Lapis, above ground level with her water wings present, uses circular water saws and chains to fight Pearl. Mean Lapis tries shooting a chain & claw at Pearl, who dodges it by leaping right. Mean Lapis tries shooting a water saw to cut her neck, but she bends down, avoiding it. Pearl tries shooting at Mean Lapis with her spear, but she blocks the energy bullets with a giant water hand. Emerald uses a remote controller and four R/C Sun Incinerators to fight Steven. "I will show you what happens when you vandalize other people's property!", Emerald yells with an evil grin. While the R/C Sun Incinerators shoot at him, he puts himself in a bubble. They move behind him and shoot at him only for him to block them with a shield over his head, bending backward a little. He throws a shield at one of them. They move in front of him and shoot at him, while he blocks them with his shield, and throws it at the second one. The last two shoot at him, but he defends himself with his shield, protecting his body. He throws his shield at the third one. The last one shoots at him, but he blocks it again. He throws his shield at the last one. He throws his shield at Emerald's remote controller, but then she throws it and Steven blocks it with his shield. "Revenge is mine!", Emerald screams while about to kick Steven, who holds a shield in front of him. She kicks him at full force, making him fall to the ground. "Time to teach you a lesson for stealing my Sun Incinerator and Destiny Destroyer!", Emerald shouts with a nasty smile, while about to stomp on Steven.

"You shouldn't do this", Steven tells Emerald. "Why, of course I can, this is the fiendishly right thing to do!", she says.

"No, you shouldn't. Emerald. Just because you want to get your Sun Incinerator back doesn't mean you have to fight anyone."

"This must be a lie! The Off Colors stole it, and I'll take back what's mine!"

"You shouldn't get revenge on Lars because he used it to help them escape from an unsafe area with drones that were about to shatter them."

After Steven convinced her not to fight with this message, Emerald felt ashamed of everything horrible she did. She says "I am so sorry. I won't let this happen again. Please forgive me."

Amethyst and Connie are no match for Holly Blue Agate. "I am having such a blast, it's like I am IN the past!", she hollered with an evil grin. Steven tells her "You don't need to fight. Just let go of the past, and you can start a new life. No need for retaliation" with a calm expression. She angrily shouts "But the past ALWAYS climbs into the distant future of BEYOND year 3000!"

"No, it doesn't. The past stays the past, so there is no more war. You can get a new job such as a construction foreman or management supervisor." "Construction foreman!? Hahaha ha ha ha ha ha," she laughs hysterically then covers her ears while she curls into a ball, frowns, and ruminates "change was happening so fast. After you ended the Diamond empire." She sobs that she lost her job as a leader of the group of Amethysts and learns to let it go. Steven comforts her.

Steven also convinces Mean Lapis that she cannot repeat the past. He also tells her that violence is destructive. Mean Lapis refuses to listen. Pearl uses her spear to shoot her at the back, causing her wings to disappear, while falling to the ground. Mean Lapis puts her hands on the ground in defeat, but a water claw, with a water chain sticking behind it, grabs him. Mean Lapis summons a giant water version of Bluebird Azurite, called “Huge Bird.” Bluebird gets into its head. Huge Bird summons its ice cutlasses. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl come together and fuse into Alexandrite. Alexandrite summons her spears. Mean Lapis makes Huge Bird use its cutlasses to try to strike Alexandrite, who blocks them with her spears. Alexandrite shoots fire at Huge Bird’s head with her second mouth, causing Huge Bird’s head to melt, produce steam, and then regain its look that appeared as before Alexandrite shot her with fire. Alexandrite shot fire at Huge Bird’s left leg, which then produces steam and remains unscathed. Mean Lapis then makes Huge Bird throw Alexandrite on the ground, causing her to un-fuse back into Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, who are now debilitated. Steven uses his super strength to pull apart the water claw and run to Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. Connie and Lion come with them too. Mean Lapis creates a huge blue bubble around Huge Bird with Bluebird Azurite in it and herself. Mean Lapis then uses hydrokinesis to lift up all the Blue Quartz planet’s ocean form it into a colossal pole to use it as the ultimate weapon.

Steven tries to convince Bluebird and Mean Lapis to stop doing horrible things. He exclaims "Is this how you want to solve problems!?" Bluebird and Mean Lapis grin evilly. Bluebird says "of course, we are. You changed what everybody thinks!" Steven responds by saying "It's okay if you want some fun, but what if you used your water to grow plants?" Mean Lapis looks bewildered. Steven says "Look. Change is hard, I get it. But that doesn't mean you should hurt other people. So, will you accept change or hurt the citizens and gems you care about?" Mean Lapis is about to use the colossal pole to drown everyone, but Steven shows her his puppy eyes. Mean Lapis looks concerned. Bluebird looks at that face and thinks that Mean Lapis won't finish the job. Therefore, she uses her ice cutlass to poof Mean Lapis. Because of this, the giant bubble popped and pushed Bluebird to the ground. The giant pole above the ground then splashed onto it and caused a huge tsunami to hit Steven and the Crystal Gems with Connie, Lion, Emerald and Holly Blue Agate, but he protected them all in a bubble.

They were safe after this event. In the ocean, Bluebird Azurite with her wings absent and the bubble with the Mean Lapis gem inside it lift up to the top of the ocean where they can be seen. Bluebird looks like she is in a coma due to how hard the water hit her. Amethyst wonders what the Crystal Gems should do with Bluebird and the bubble with Mean Lapis’s gemstone in it. Emerald and Holly Blue decided to take them and bring them to a safe place to look after them.
