Chapter 1-B

Fluttershy let Twilight check on the crater of that strange object from the sky as she made sure her smaller animals were safe inside her cottage. After counting the little animal families, she took solace that no pony or animal was hurt. To her surprise, Twilight opened the door and within her magic was a strange creature.

“Twilight, what is that?” Fluttershy asked.

“Well, it’s no alien, I think… it looks kinda like a human from that mirror realm, but a bit different.” Twilight told a concerned Fluttershy as she put the creature on the soft floor rug.

“What should we do?”

“Well if you don’t mind me, I’m going to make some observations on this thing.” Twilight took a nearby notepad and pencil to write down what she believed this creature really was.

Twilight looked over the creature as it lied on its back, sleeping soundly. This thing was the size of a pony and had fingers, sort of like Spike’s talons, it wore a red t-shirt with a golden star on the chest, and blue pants. It was human, but the thing that made it so different was that rose-colored gem in its stomach as it seemed to be a part of its body and radiated magical energies.

.        .        .        .

Unbenounced to the two ponies, Steven was in a strange dream or more likely a memory of the start of the previous day.

Steven was playing a game on the couch when the warp pad activated and his family, the Crystal Gems...Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl came back from another Gem mission. Steven ran to them, seeing Garnet holding a strange Gem item.

“What is that?!” Steven was always excited to see what the Gems brought back.

“This is an ancient Gem weapon. In the hands of a powerful gem, it could create anything from weapons, starships, even mindless soldier monsters from light particles.” Pearl pointed at the Prism in hopes of teaching Steven more of his Gem culture.

 “Can I see it?”

“Oh no, absolutely not, it’s very dangerous...in the hands of a powerful Gem...in fact none of us could get it to activate…” Pearl was thinking it may be broken like most of the ancient Gem items they found.

“Yeah, and in the hands of Steven...not so dangerous, so it won’t hurt to let him see it.” Amethyst gave her approval.

“Alright, but be careful Steven.” Garnet placed the Prism into Steven’s hands.

In the moment it Steven’s hands, the Prism activated, shining in a rainbow colored light and from it shot out the control creature that worked as the Prism’s spirit. However before it could completely come to full form, Garnet smashed it into pieces with one hit from her gauntlets. The light creature then split into six colored lights and started Steven and his friends on a quest to collect the light pieces…

Only now did Steven slowly awaken.

.        .        .        .

        Twilight was about to examine the creature more when it awoke and stood up in front of her. Twilight and Steven looked into each other’s eyes for a minute before they both freaked out and screamed while not moving at all. Fluttershy grabbed Twilight and calmed her down, which also calmed Steven down too.

        “Who are you?” The young boy asked.

        “My name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Fluttershy...are you a human?”

        “Kinda...My name is Steven Universe.”

        With that out there, the two walked closer to each other after gathering that neither was a threat. Twilight learned from this ‘Steven’ that he and his family were fighting a strange magical device that warped him to Equestria. She would ask more but Steven was tired and Fluttershy offered her sofa until the morning to sort everything out. Twilight decided to stay with Fluttershy to watch over Steven until morning.
