Day 4: Alone or Together. (Together!)

Based off a commission made for me by @polusaware . Steven and Connie have a makeout session. What better place to do it than in Rose’s room. Used some new shading and coloring techniques.

This is what I based my redraw off of.

A redraw of an ask done by @wowthwtslame​.

“Connie have I ever told you how beautiful you are when you start to glow?”

Hearing those words makes Connie blush. She couldn’t possible imagine anyone other than her boyfriend saying such a thing. She loves him dearly and wants the world to know what she means to him.

Connie went to go visit her parents. “It has been a while since I’ve seen them,” she said, “They’ll certainly be surprised. When she opened the door she saw that the house was a mess. “Wha…. What happened here?” she asked herself. She looked for her parents everywhere. “Mom, Dad?” she asked, “Where are you?!” She saw Doug lying on the floor. “Dad!” she said. She helped him up. “Connie….” He said. “What happened here?” she asked, “Where’s Mom?” “They…. They took her,” he said, “And… I saw him. I saw our son.” “Your son?” she asked. “Connie, you have an older brother,” said Doug, “His name is… Akbar.” This shocked Connie. “Where did thye take her?” asked Connie. They both rushed to Steven’s place. “Connie what’s up?” asked Steven. “My mom, she was kidnapped by Yellow Diamond’s forces,” said Connie. “What?” asked Pearl, “Gems going after humans?” “This is no longer an act of war,” said Garnet, “This is human extinction.” “I’ll bet Tom’s working with him,” said Star, “We’ll do whatever it takes to help.”

”Me too,” said Marco. “Thanks for the assist,” said Peridot. “Peridot,” said Pearl, “For being of assistance of us, I think you earned these back.” She gave Peridot something she hadn’t seen in a long time. “My limb enhancers!” said Peridot, “Finally mine again.” She put them on. “Peridot is back in action!” she said. “I’ll fight too,” said Lapis, “This place is home and belongs to the humans.” “Then let’s do it,” said Steven, “For earth!” “Yeah!” said Everyone. “Hold on guys!” said Greg, “You’ll need a spaceship.” He secretly worked with Pearl to create a spaceship. “Wow Dad,” said Steven, “Thanks!” “No sweat, good luck son,” said Greg, “I know you can do it.” Doug got out his pistol. “This is gonna be new to me, but if its for your mother I’ll do it,” he said. They all got into the spaceship and headed out into space. “According to my navigator, we should be close to Yellow Diamond’s fortress,” said Peridot. “Yellow Diamond?” asked Star. “She’s this gem that wants to take over the planet,” said Amethyst, “Peridot’s commander.” “Ex commander,” said Peridot. “Um guys,” said Marco, “You might wanna take a look at this.” They were all looking at Yellow Diamond’s fortress which was guarded by her forces. “So what’s the plan?” asked Amethyst. “Leave it to ‘us’,” said Garnet. Meanwhile Priyanka was being interrogated. “Now, for the last time, where is Lapis?” asked Yellow Diamond. “For the last time, I don’t know where or who Lapis is,” she said. “I don’t believe you,” said Yellow Diamond. She electrocuted her and she was in deep pain. “This only hurts a little bit,” she said, “What comes next, will be worse.” Jasper appeared in the room. “Commander, we have forces from Earth invading our domain,” she said. “Good,” said Yellow Diamond, “Destroy them.” “One thing, there’s one with a giant sword and she’s pounding us to the brink,” said Jasper. “Connie…” said Priyanka. Akbar was making a speech to all of the forces. “Before you stands the greatest weapon in the history of gems all across the galaxy, the newborn Cluster!” he said, “Once the Earth sees how powerful it truly is, they will kneel before us, and will remember this day, AS THE LAST DAY OF THOSE INFERNAL CRYSTAL GEMS!” The soldiers cheered. A newborn cluster of gems appeared from the deep pit behind them. “With this weapon, we shall plunge the humans into an eternal nightmare!” said Akbar, “And take back what is rightfully ours; Planet Earth!” He left the big area and made his way to the bridge. Star and Marco were taking down the guards giving Ruby time to sneak through the security. “That kid sure knows how to fight,” he said, “Sapphire, its all clear.” Sapphire came in. “Let’s move, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Doo,” said Peridot as she opened the gate to the reactor. “Coming,” said Ruby, “Shall we, my lady?” “We shall,” said Sapphire. Steven, Doug, and Connie found her mother in a cage. “Connie,” she said, “You came.” “I had to,” said Connie, “You may have found me, but you’re still my mother no matter what.” They hugged.

A gem guard locked the doors leading to Priyanka’s cage. “I should’ve known we’d have some rodents in our base,” he said, “Now step away from the prisoner and I just might let you live.” Connie thought of something that just might work. “You will release the prisoner and leave this cell with the door open,” she said. “What did you say?” said the gem guard. “You will release the prisoner and leave this cell with the door open,” repeated Connie. “I’ll keep the prisoner right here,” said the guard, “And I’ll put you in a separate cell, along with your friends.” Connie calmed herself down hoping it would work. “You will release the prisoner and leave this cell with the door open,” she said. There was a blue aura surrounding him. “I will release the prisoner and leave this cell with the door open,” he said. He released the shackles on Priyanka and opened the door. “And you’ll drop your weapon,” said Connie. “And I’ll drop my weapon,” he said as he dropped his weapon. Doug saw someone. “He’s here,” he said. “Who?” asked Priyanka. “Our son,” said Doug, “He’s alive.” Doug followed him. “ISAAC!!!” he shouted so Akbar could hear. He stopped and said, “That name no longer exists.” “OF course it does,” said Doug, “And so do you.” Akbar turned around.

”Doug Maheswaran,” he said, “I’ve waited for this day for a long time.” “Take off the mask,” said Doug. “What will you see if I do?” he asked. “The face of my son,” said Doug. Akbar took off his mask and revealed himself. “I know you’re scared, I know you don’t know what to do,” said Doug, “But come home, and we can fix this;. All of it.” “Your son is dead, he was weak and spineless,” said Akbar, “So I got rid of him, replaced him.” “That’s not true,” said Doug, “All we wanted was to love you.” He felt Akbar’s face.

”Yellow Diamond’s only using you for your power,” said Doug.

”No,” said Akbar Shah, “The Diamond order is wise.” “This yellow diamond isn’t your true parent,” he said, “You know its true. Come back.” “Its too late,” said Akbar. “You’re hurting, I know,” said Doug. “I wanna be free of the pain,” said Akbar. “If there’s anything I can do to ease it, then I swear I’ll do it,” said Doug. Akbar took out his spear and handed it to Doug. Steven, Connie and Priyanka were watching. Akbar plunged the spear straight through his own father. Everyone watched in horror. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!” shouted Connie. Doug looked at his son and felt his face one last time, before falling to his death. He then looked at Steven and the gang.
