Steven Lazuli

Steven Lazuli is an alternate universe where Lapis Lazuli broke free from her mirror and kidnapped Steven as a baby to take her revenge on the Crystal Gems. The story begins ten years later after the kidnapping, when Steven has been raised by Lapis to hide from the Crystal Gems, which had split from Steven's kidnapping. Amethyst became the new leader of the Crystal Gems, Garnet separated into Ruby and Sapphire, and Pearl found her place in the world by serving a secret government. Meanwhile, Peridot arrived on the planet to scout information for Yellow Diamond.

Prologue
Lapis Lazuli, who has been trapped in the mirror for millennia, finally breaks free from her prison. As an act of revenge, Lapis steals Steven Universe, the son of Rose Quartz, and efficiently ruins the Crystal Gems.

New Beginnings
Steven starts to go to school with Connie Maheswaren, enrolling as Steven Lazuli. Peridot 928 arrives on Earth from orders of Yellow Diamond and begins to scout the area in order to gather data and report back to Homeworld. Meanwhile, Lapis Lazuli creates an alternate personality called Neptune and efficiently begins to lead a drug cartel. It is revealed that in the ten years Steven has been gone, the Crystal Gems have changed dramatically. Garnet has defused into Ruby and Sapphire permanently, Pearl has joined a secret government called The Revolution dedicated to studying gems, and Amethyst barely remembers Steven.

Steven eventually meets Amethyst, however, Amethyst does not recognize him. And while the remainder of the Crystal Gems think Pearl spends her free time mourning Rose Quartz in secret facilities, Pearl is actually doing secret missions for The Revolution.

While the main point of this arc is to introduce what has been going on since Lapis Lazuli stole Steven, there is another secret meaning to this arc...

You could say that this was the introduction to Amber?

Ambergeddon
A new villain named Amber appears, having broken free from the ice block at the bottom of the ocean floor that kept her contained. Amber begins to taunt the Crystal Gems and commits numerous acts of crime, including stealing a confidential super-weapon belonging to The Revolution, creating a backup of that super-weapon, and uncorrupting all of the gems in the Crystal Gems' Burning Room to create her army.

It is revealed that Amber keeps three sort of generals of her army: Hematite, Emerald, and Spinel. Each of these characters proves to be important in their own way later on. Soon, Amber storms a city called Kronos Quad, and overtakes the city to broadcast that she has the power to commence the extinction of humanity. The Crystal Gems and the Gem Squad team up to stop Amber, engaging in an epic battle including nukes, Opal, and a dog-bird hybrid. The nuke is disarmed, and Amber's backup nuke, along with the entirety of the Rogue Nation, retreat to a location known as Dexterity Castle.

The final battle happens at Dexterity Castle, where the Crystal Gems and the Gem Squad throw the backup nuke into space, cause a hurricane, shatter Amber's gigantic gemstone, and end the arc.

But Amber had one more backup, which can be summarized in three words. Spinel. And. Onyx.

Post-Amber
Many things happen after the Ambergeddon has finished. Pearl leaves to join The Revolution publicly, leaving Amethyst to become the new leader of the Crystal Gems. Amethyst goes into the desert and finds that a gem named Bloodstone is controlling the remnants of the Rogue Nation. Meanwhile, Hematite leads Pearl's old mentor Moonstone and about 60 other gems from the Rogue Nation to become part of The Revolution.

A huge battle happens in the desert, ending with Lapis Lazuli screaming as she floods the entire desert. The event mentally scars Amethyst, the event forever in her mind. It is revealed that Bloodstone absorbed the life force out of multiple gems, rendering their gemstones empty husks of rock that can't do anything and using the power for her own movements. Even though Bloodstone is shattered, she makes one final promise to Ruby: She will always come back.

Oh yeah. Also, a guy named Jake Samson breaks into The Revolution's base with the aid of the Grim Reaper, Emerald, and Adam Quantiny, a fourth-dimensional reality warper.

Onyx Revenge
Amber's final backup, Onyx, breaks free from her gemstone and absorbs Spinel's powers. Onyx was not alone, as she somehow shared her gemstone's regenerative capabilities with her husband, Obsidian. The two fuse into a super-fusion called Jet, who in terms of power is only below two entities. The Core Cluster (a really good plot device fueled by the power of Deus Ex Machina) and 55 Cancri E, AKA the Diamond Planet.

Anyways, Jet has the combined powers of Onyx and Obsidian, so telepathy and telekinesis. Their child, Kyanite, has teleportation. The Tele Trio? Anyways, Kyanite eventually gets poofed in the later chapters of this arc as Jet goes on a rampage, destroying The Revolution's base and all the people inside, the Moon Base, a very large city, and Pearl's sanity (see Chapter 33 for an example of this).

In the end, Onyx is defeated by the power of Deus Ex Machina- sorry, slipped my words. I meant Stevonnie. Stevonnie (the fusion of Steven and Connie) is able to coax out Jet... or rather Onyx. Onyx's telepathic powers subconsciously altered everyone's visions to make it seem like Obsidian... and therefore, Jet, were there, when they were not.

With the happy ending, Onyx flies off into the sunset. There are no more new characters to added right now... because there is a war coming. A war that will tear at your feels.
