Out in the galaxy, bounty hunters get good business, if someone wants someone else gone, or imprisoned, bounty hunters are an easy way to get it done without dealing with various groups of intergalactic law enforcement.

In the vast sea of Bounty hunters, if you want something done perfectly, (and if you have the cash to burn), you go to the two best. Tetrax, the skilled huntsman from Petropia, and And Bloodstone, a Gem who defected from Homeworld's Regime.

After generations of his world being controlled by Blue Diamond, Tetrax formed a small rebellion and tried to take back control of his world. He sought out a powerful conqueror to assist with the removal of the Diamonds, in return for his people's most powerful weapon, the Horn of Sugilite, unfortunately, Tetrax was tricked, and all organic life on his world was eradicated.

Years later, he made a name for himself as a Bounty Hunter in order to find the Horn of Sugilite and avenge his people. His searches lead him to the throne of the Incursean Empire, and their Emperor, who had just given the Horn to the leader of the planet Fulmas. Blinded by rage, Tetrax took the emperor's life, cementing himself as the strongest of his people and a force to be reckoned with.

Bloodstone never agreed with the ways of Homeworld and joined the Crystal Gems. After being caught shattering a Homeworld elite, she was exiled from the rebellion. It didn't phase her, she knew that they wouldn't understand. She was willing to stop Homeworld, no matter the cost. She was able to infiltrate the inside, attempting to prevent some colonization before it could start, but she lost hope. Every time she made any progress, Homeworld was constantly a step ahead of her.

Without a way to take them down, Bloodstone gave up and decided that Bounty Hunting was a more practical use of her skills. She needed money if she was going to be outside of Homeworld's regime. She quickly made a name for herself by taking out 60 high-level targets in under 30 seconds.

...That being said, imagine their surprise when they found out they both were given the same job, by the most unlikely of customers, Yellow Diamond.

Her instructions were clear, there's a human who held the most powerful weapon in the known universe, the Omnitrix. This human had joined the Crystal Gems. The bounty hunters are to retrieve the Omnitrix and if they get in the way, destroy the Crystal Gems.

"How much longer do we have until we get to Earth, Gluto?" Tetrax asked.

The living pink ball of slime in the pilot's seat made some vague sounds resembling communication.

"Perfect, we're right on schedule," Tetrax responded, "Call up Bloodstone."

Gluto pressed some buttons and a hologram of Bloodstone appeared, "What do you need Tetrax," the Gem demanded.

"Just making sure you understand our agreement before we land on Earth, we both know the Omnitrix Wielder will be a powerful foe, so we need to work together, and we'll split the earnings 50/50."

"Sounds good to me, as long as you don't try and double-cross me, you have no idea how many Petrosapiens I've taken out," Bloodstone warned.

"And you have no idea how many Gems I've shattered, Bloodstone," Tetrax responded.

There was a moment of dead silence between the two, eventually broken by Bloodstone, "I'll see you on Earth."

Tetrax's ship loomed above Earth, Gluto was readying the ship for decent, "Where's Bloodstone?" Tetrax asked.

Gluto shrugged and made a sound.

"I guess I'll start without her, take us down, Gluto."

Gluto tapped some buttons and the ship was lowered, right over a city street in front of a diner, the people around were frozen in shock. Tetrax put on his suit, covering his whole body, and exited the ship, noticing the large crowd, he pulled out a blaster, "This doesn't concern any of you, evacuate immediately."

People quickly left, the owners of the diner even abandoned their establishment. Left in silence, Tetrax began to walk around, but before he got very far, he heard the door to the diner swing open.

"Yo guess how much free food I got!" Amethyst yelled. She looked around and saw Tetrax, "Uhhh, hi?"

"Are you one of the crystal Gems?" he asked.

"Uhhh, yeah? Whatchu want?"
Tetrax took out his blaster and shot at her, disintegrating her food.

"WHAT THE HECK DUDE? That was FREE"

"Take me to the Omnitrix Wielder and I might spare you," the bounty hunter threatened.

"Oh ho ho ho no, you do not mess with my food, and then threaten me, you are going DOWN son!" she summoned her whip from her Gemstone and wrapped it around Tetrax, but he easily broke free. Infuriated, she curled into a ball and spin dashed into him, knocking him off balance.

"I expected more from a Crystal Gem," Tetrax taunted.

"I can do this all day, buddy," Amethyst retorted.

Meanwhile, a few streets down…

"Uh… dad? What's that?" Steven said pointing to the ship landing from the sky.

"Holy moly," said Greg, "Uh, Garnet, Pearl, you might wanna look at this."

Garnet and Pearl both looked to the sky and gave each other worried looks.

"Amethyst is over there…" said Pearl, "We need to help her!"

"We'll go with!" said Ben.

"No!" said Garnet, "It's too dangerous, Pearl and I will handle it."
"You can't be serious," said Gwen, "we're more than capable-"
"Please, Gwen," said Pearl, "Just listen to Garnet, we'll be back."

They rushed off to the location of the ship. Leaving the kids behind.

"Perfect…" said Bloodstone, hiding in the trees.

"Don't worry kids, the gems will be fine," said Max.

"I'm not worried about them," said Ben, "I just wish they would let us help, ya know?"

"Garnet usually knows what's best, Ben," said Steven, "It's good to trust her."

"Why should I? I like, just met her less than a month ago."
"She can see the future," explained Steven.

"What!?" said Ben and Gwen in unison.

"Did we not tell you?" said Connie.

"Sorry," said Steven.

"Yeah, she can," said Bloodstone, jumping from the trees and landing in front of them, "But she's not always accurate."

"What the, who are you!?" Ben yelled.

"Calm down Ben!" said Steven, "She could be friendly, you have to treat strangers with respect," Steven cleared his throat, "Hello ma'am, how may we help you today?"

"I'm here to kill the kid in green and take his watch," said Bloodstone, she knocked Steven out of the way, "Just stand back, it'll be over soon."

Grandpa Max ran up to the Bounty Hunter and tried fighting her off, "Ben! Get out of here!"
"Grandpa!" Ben slapped the watch, and turned into Diamondhead, just as Grandpa Max was thrown to the ground.

"Oh, this should be interesting," said Bloodstone, she pulled a Scythe from her Gemstone (cleverly hidden under her clothing) and pointed it toward Ben, "You're about to be an easy paycheck, runt."

Ben fired a barrage diamonds from his hands, each one being sliced out of the air, reacting fast, Ben made a small pillar of diamond beneath Bloodstone, then immediately shattered it, making her lose her footing.

Steven recovered from Bloodstone's attack, "D-do you have a way to beat her Ben?" he asked.

Ben gave a smug grin, "Yeah, I do," he said with full confidence.

"Really? You do?" Steven said, surprised.

"Yep, I have one last card up my sleeve."

"What is it?" Steven said, with excitement.

"Look at her legs, I used my diamonds to make her slip, rendering her legs useless!"

"A-and your last card?"

"I'll use my own legs!"

"Use your legs? How?"

Ben spun around and sprinted like he never had before, "RUN STEVEN! RUN!"

Bloodstone smirked, "This kid's insane," she ran after him at full speed.

Amethyst was locked in an intense duel with Tetrax, "You can't win," he said, "Don't you know who I am?"

Amethyst kept furiously whipping him, "I do not! And I don't care!" she hit him on the head, knocking the helmet off his head, she got a glimpse of his face, "Diamondhead?" suddenly, she felt something run through her body. Tetrax had shot a diamond through her stomach, she gave him an angry look before she poofed into a cloud of smoke.

Garnet and Pearl approached the ship, "Do you see her?" Pearl asked, just then, Tetrax kicked her Gemstone over to Pearl, she gasped.

"Consider that a warning," Tetrax said, "Hand over the Omnitrix wielder, or worse will happen."

"You leave him out of this!" Pearl said, "That Peridot from before, she must've sent him!"

"We can't let you hurt anyone from this planet, leave now," Garnet commanded.

Tetrax sighed, "Listen, ladies, I'm just doing my job, I just want the watch, the human will be fine as long as he goes along."

"That device is too powerful to be left in the wrong hands!" Pearl said, "Whatever you're being paid it can't be worth what will happen if someone with ill intent were to get their hands on it!"

"At this point, I don't care," said Tetrax, "I've got a pretty stable job, just hand the human over."

Just then, Ben ran through, "Oh thank goodness!" Ben said, "Garnet, Pearl, some crazy hooded lady is chasing me and… why is there another Diamondhead?"
Tetrax looked at Ben, and noticed the badge with the hourglass symbol on his chest, "N-no, it can't be, you're a child!"
Bloodstone ran in, and knocked him to the ground, "Gotcha!"
"Bloodstone, stop!" Tetrax yelled, "He's just a kid!"
"Don't care," she said, "I just want my money."

"Bloodstone…" said Garnet, "Is that you?"

Bloodstone looked back at Garnet, "G-Garnet!? Shoot, I gotta get out of here!" she grasped onto Ben and warped off in a beam of light.

Steven ran up to the group, he gasped for breath, "Wh-where's Ben?" he noticed the purple gemstone in Pearl's hand, "A-Amethyst?"

"She probably took him to her ship," said Tetrax, "I'll help you find her and get him back."
"You were attacking us just a minute ago!" said Pearl, "Why should we trust you."

"I have boundaries," Tetrax explained, "I don't go after kids or families… I just… I can't, Yellow Diamond must've tried to trick me or just didn't know."

"Y-Yellow Diamond!?" Pearl gasped.

"Listen, I can track her ship, I'll get your kid back, I promise," Tetrax said.

"I'll come with!" said Steven.

"Me too…" said Garnet, "If that's the Bloodstone I know, I should be able to get through to her."

"Come on, get in my ship!" said Tetrax, they entered the monstrous ship, Tetrax pulled up a screen, "Gluto, track down Bloodstone's ship!"

The little alien pressed some buttons and an image appeared on Tetrax's screen.

"She hasn't even left atmosphere!" said Garnet.

"Go after her, now!" said Tetrax.

Steven was just looking at Gluto in awe as they quickly took off, and flew straight toward Bloodstone's ship.

Within the ship, Ben was in human form and contained in a translucent cage, he tried pushing through to no avail.

"Might as well quit it kid, you aren't getting out of that any time soon," said Bloodstone, "Its a tightly woven hard light containment unit, that stuff can hold anything from a Galvan to an Appoplexian."

"..I don't know what those words mean," said Ben.

"Ugh, just shut up, if I could kill ya, I would, but I don't wanna risk that thing either sending out a distress signal or, blowing up or something."

Ben raised an eyebrow, "I… doubt it does that…"

"Please, just leave me alone 'till we get to," a light on her monitor turned on and beeped, "What the…" suddenly, the ship was shaken around and the power flicked on and off, including Ben's cage. He slipped out, grabbing onto a support bar by the door of the ship.

"Ugh, get back in there!" Bloodstone yelled.

"I got her in a tractor beam," said Tetrax, "I'll try to contact her," he tapped a button, in Bloodstone's ship, the window in front displayed Tetrax's face, "Bloodstone, hand the kid over!"
"Oh, I see," she said, "You want the cash to yourself?"

"No, you idiot!" Tetrax yelled, "You took that kid from his family! You need to give him back!"

"You think I care?" she scoffed, "I'm gonna get this reward and you aren't getting in the way!"

"We need to get in her ship!" said Garnet.

Gluto made a noise.

"No!" said Tetrax, "We can't just do that!"

"What did he say?" Steven asked.

"He suggested we fly above her ship and drop you out through the cargo bay."
"So we have any better ideas?" Garnet asked.

"...fine," Tetrax meneuvered the ship above Bloodstone's, "You two ready?"

Steven had formed a bubble around him and Garnet, "Ready when you are Tetrax!" he said.

"Good luck," Tetrax flipped a switch and the door flew open, sucking Garnet and Steven out into Earth's outer atmosphere. Garnet punched the inside oof the bubble, propelling it towards Bloodstone's ship, it slammed into the side, blowing the outer door off. Garnet grabbed onto Steven and opened the inner door, and immediately shut it.

An alarm went off, distracting Bloostone from Ben, in that moment he slapped his watch and turned into Upgrade, "Say goodbye to your spaceship, lady!" he turned into a puddle on the ground, "What the? I can't merge with this!"

"Jeez kid were you born yesterday? Galvanic Mechamorphs can't merge with Gem technology," she looked at her screen, activationg a camera, "Great, I should've known Garnet wouldn't give up."

"You shouldn't mess with the Crystal Gems, creep!" Ben teased.

"Can it, kid," she said, she grabbed his semi-solid body and threw it accross the room, and prepared to fight.

Garnet busted down the door, "Bloodstone!"
"Garnet, sure has been a while," she teased, "Like the new form."

"I can't believe you, you betray the Crystal Gems, leave for nearly 100 years, and now I find you back on Earth, kidnapping a human!"
"I didn't kill him did I?" she responded, "Listen Garn, I need the cash, I figured if Rose got what she wanted, us Gems would need a new way to survive, I just wanted a head start. But considering what I've heard and seen… you guys didn't exactly win. All that's left is you and Pearl and that quartz I saw Tetrax fight… I didn't even see Rose with you guys."
Steven grimaced, Garnet approached her, "Bloodstone, listen-"

Bloodstone blindly slashed at her with her Scythe, Steven jumped in front of Garnet and formed a sheild, the blade bounced back, she glared at them and then noticed the shield.

"That pattern… that symbol. Rose? Is that you?"

Steven dropped the shield, "I'm… her son."

"What?" she said, she removed her hood revealing her dark red hair and pink skin, "I didn't even know that was possible… Why did she do it?"

Garnet sighed, "Rose hated what Homeworld did to Earth, so instead of taking life from the planet, she sacrificed herself to give a life back."

"Heh, that's Rose alright," Bloodstone got up and looked to Steven, "You're mom was a good Gem Steven."
"Yeah, I know, I kinda get told that alot," he said.

"You can have your kid back, its not like I ever listened to Yellow Diamond before," she said, "Besides, it might be fun taking down her lackeys."
"You could always join the Crystal Gems again," Garnet suggested.

Bloodstone raised an eyebrow, "You kidding? After everything I did you still want me on your team?"

"Now that homeworld knows about us, we could always use the help," said Garnet.

Gemstone smiled, "Thanks Garn, but I can't accept. I like being a Bounty Hunter… but… I'll stop kidnapping kids, and ya know, killing."

Garnet sighed, "Ok Bloodstone."

Bloodstone and Tetrax landed back on Earth, dropping Steven and Garnet off.

"It's gonna be interesting explaining this to Yellow Diamond," said Tetrax.

Bloodstone laughed, "She's all talk, we'll be fine."

"I hope to see you again!" said Steven.

"It's so weird," said Ben, "I never thought I'd meet one of my Aliens for real."

Tetrax smiled warmly, "Maybe if we meet again, I could help you learn a few tricks with your Petrosapien form."

"Sounds great," said Ben.

Tetrax and Bloodstone boarded their ships and flew off. Just then Amethyst reformed, now with a new outfit, the star-shaped holes on her pants were now patches, and her tank top was no longer loose.

She looked around groggily, "What did I miss?"

Pearl patted her head, "Don't worry, it wasn't much."
"...what?"
