The Final Pages of SU: Case 0456 and it's unfortunate fate...


Hey everyone Fazworth here

I'm here to tell everyone that Case 0456 is officially cancelled

There were a multitude of reasons (Lack of Motivations, Lack of Time, problems with Equipment ect) but the main issue was a major file lost that happened with the pages

Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to continue after this factor so I'm announcing it's cancellation

I am really sorry to those Who waited patiently for it but I just can't continue, other projects will progress faster tho so I hope Your all patient for that

As a consolation, here's the initial story planned for the series


Chapter 1: Interrogation

The Chapter began with some members of the Ruby Squad from the earlier seasons of the show

Navy and Eyeball

Yeah, in this version there isn't some stigma between Them after the whole S5 Finale of the show

It is an AU after all

Anyways. The two were discussing a new case known as "Case: 0456"

Navy was tasked with the case and soon realised that this was regarding the arrest of... Steven Universe

(More clarity will be explained later)

Navy was shocked by the news and continued reading the file

While this was happening, Leggy and Army (Yes, that's They're names) were discussing about how to take Steven to the interrogation room

Apparently what He did was so horrid, that nobody wanted to get close to Him

However, it seems that Steven may have felt guilty about what He had done

This was evident when one of Them stated that Steven had been crying for almost an hour now

They then saw Steven there, seemingly still upset

They informed Him that He is being taken to the interrogation room, and He doesn't seem all that resisting and just obeyed

Now, while this isn't really important. There was actually a cameo of Sucy Manbavaran and Lotte Jansson from LWA, the cameos itself is a reference to the other comic I'm working on, Detective Cons, where the two of Them were Police Officers and apart of the "Red Squad" with Atsuko Kagari

So uh that's neat I guess

Anyways the interrogation soon happens, with Steven restrained for extra measures

Steven was asked several questions by Navy

These include: (Normal Text is Navy. Bolted Text is Steven) "What do You feel about this Investigation" "I feel a lot of emotions but... one thing sticks out to Me... one emotion sweeps everything else off the table for Me... regret... I mostly feel regret for everything" "Do You have any vengeful feelings to against anyone at all?" "Her... Mom... She gave Me all of Her fucking problems to Me, all the bullshit I went through was Her fault! I can't stand it, I-I just hate Her! (edited)

"What are Your feelings towards Connie Maheswaran?" "Oh boy... She's someone I truly love... every time I think of Her... I feel peace... She keeps Me sane You know? Calms Me down... I really wished I didn't do what I had done" "Then why did You hurt Her?"

This was the moment, things went wrong

Steven began to try and explain things, unfortunately His emotions got to Him first

He went semi out of control and became a bit of the Beast Steven We saw in Future

Eventually the other members of the Ruby Squad came to defuse the issue, getting Steven knocked out in the process

He was then taken to His cell as the Chapter ends...


Chapter 2: "I Confess" AKA, the only chapter to have it's visuals semi completed prior to cancellation

The entire Police Department was in a panic after the debacle, both the Gems and Humans

One of the officers, Aubrey Shells, volunteered to continue the Interrogation

Steven was then woken up again and taken back to the Interrogation room, on the way there however He had felt as if He was being followed by something, and then saw a door that made His eyes shocked labelled "Captain's Office"

Steven soon arrived and Aubrey started to interrogate

We then learn about what happened hours before His arrest...

It was 11 PM, Steven and Connie were having a nice sleepover

Things were going well, when suddenly Connie asked "Do You miss Your Mom?"

Suddenly, Steven was inside of of His Mom's memories, during the Diamond Era, where She had punched Pink Pearl in the eye

Unfortunately if You've seen the show, You'd know that Steven would sometimes live through Her memories and mimic the actions in it

And unfortunately... it lead to what happened next

Steven punched Connie in the eye, leading to Her eye to straight up bleed

Of course both Connie and the Crystal Gems were shocked from the entire thing

They thought Steven had gone mad

When Steven got back to His senses, it was too late

The Gems had called the Police as Steven began to lose control again, hurting the Gems and poofing some of Them

Connie remained, managing to hold Him down with Her pointing Her sword at Him in case things go wrong again

The Police and Diamond Authority arrived, leading to his arrest

The Interrogation finished and Steven was sent back to His cell

Unfortunately for Him... trouble began to show itself once more


Chapter 3: Pink Mentality

The chapter immediately kicked off from the last one, showing Steven's Alter Ego, Pink Steven, or as I'll call Him, Pink

Pink as a character was My interpretation of the Pink Steven from Change Your Mind

He doesn't seem to act like Pink Diamond or Steven's Anger Glow in the show, but rather, His Gem Side that absorbs all the terrible things He went through

Pink tormented Steven with bad thoughts, hoping to weaken His mind into a vulnerable state so He can exact His anger out in the worst way possible

Steven almost lost to this, before both Him and Pink heard footsteps coming from outside of the cell

A set of guards came to pick Steven up for a Psychological Evaluation with Steven's Therapist, a woman named Tamza

As He was taken out for the test, He began to wonder what made Pink do this and if He did anything wrong to Him

He then was taken to the Interrogation room, Steven was given a set of tests and asked a few questions regarding the case

Steven began talking about it, specifically about how He felt bad with the whole issue with Connie and also that "Sometimes that bastard just talks to Me"

This was of course, referring to Pink and soon Tamza took notes about Pink

Steven reveals that due to His Gem Side actually having it's own Conscious, both of Them had considered each other Twins

Apparently, Pink began to act more anger and hate then usual for the past few months, acting impulsive and even cruel to Him to some extent

Steven began to slowly have a mental breakdown from the entire thing and began to see things

Steven saw Connie in this void like environment, She seems upset at Him. Steven tried to explain that He never meant to do this and that it was an accident

Connie seems to slightly accept it, but still thinks that Steven deserves punishment. Two figures then appeared as Connie orders Them to keep Him at bay

The figures turned out to be Pink and... His own Mother

Both of Them and Steven argued back to back, Them revealing that some of this is His fault for not being able to keep His emotions intact and getting Himself into some of these scenarios that lead to His growing trauma

Connie then seemingly tried to stab Steven in the arm but it was all in His head

He was just seeing things and He was currently being tranquilized for His own safety

He then fell down, knocked out, returning to the void world

Pink welcomed Steven to His nightmare

Steven was having none of it, demanding an answer

Pink then revealed it in a fit of rage, telling Him that He's doing all of this out of spite and jealousy

Screaming at Steven, claiming for how ungrateful He was that He was there to Save Him countless times and how He felt like He didn't get the love or credit He deserved. He wanted Steven to suffer what He had in battle, quickly lifting Steven up and bashing His head to a concrete wall a Steven bled out and began to wake up

It was, indeed, all a nightmare

Steven then searched His pocket as He picked up an old photo of Him and Connie during a school dance, crying from guilt...


Chapter 4: "Did He really do this?"

Connie had been conflicted about the whole thing with Steven, wondering if He really did it on purpose

On the one hand, Steven did hurt Her and several others. But on the other hand, Steven kept mentioning old things from Her Mother's era

Eventually Connie's Mom, Priyanka. Who called Her for dinner

During this dinner, We meet Doug Maheswaran, the Police Captain

At this time, a conversation began regarding the incident

Doug and Priyanka weren't sure for why Steven had done what He done, it felt too sudden

Connie explained Her side of the story and Doug simply thought Steven went mad

With no leads or clues, Connie suggests an idea

What if She visited Him instead? And had a talk with Him?

Both of Her Parents did not let Connie do it and an argument soon began regarding the matter

During this moment, Tamza rang the bell to inform Doug of the results, while Connie remembered some times She had let Steven down

Doug then got more results regarding the interrogation as Connie remembered other times She unreasonably kicked Him out of Her life for no reason

Doug and Priyanka went upstairs to check up on Connie, but when They got there, Connie had escaped through the window

Leading to what happened next...


Chapter 5: "Why are You here?"

Steven continued to cry, clearly still feeling guilty

Connie then bursts into His cell, wanting to see Him

But Steven had noticed the CCTV located in His cell, pleading to Connie not to see Him since He's afraid that He might be watched

Pink unfortunately decided to torment Him wants more, making Him hallucinate that Connie was about to Kill Him

Steven begged that Connie get away, claiming that She'll get hurt. Connie thought Steven wanted Her gone because of what She did

Steven then assured Connie that it wasn't Her, it was something else (that being Pink)

Explaining that both of Them went through a lot and that it's gonna be awhile before things get fixed

Steven however, remembered about His healing powers and sought out to heal Connie's eye, eventually hugging Her for comfort. Connie assures that things will be alright and that both of Them are gonna leave the station to clear His name

Unfortunately... Doug came in at the wrong moment

He shot Steven with a Riffle until He was knocked out and ordered His guards to take Connie back home, dragging Steven away to make sure He suffers...


Chapter 6: Revenge

Steven woke back up in the interrogation room, seeing Doug standing there

Doug was angry at Steven, He felt betrayed since He had trusted Steven to take care of Connie, not buying His reasons

Steven pleaded and tried to reason with Doug to no avail and soon enough Dog snapped and began to beat Steven up

Steven begged Him to stop but Doug's anger only grew and instead He took out His baton and continued to beat Steven up for hours

Eventually the beating stop and soon Doug left the room

Steven could only cry from the pain as He bleeds

The scene was supposed to be followed up by a rendition of Steven singing "Escapism"

After this, Rose and Pink felt bad about Steven's condition to some degree, each claiming on what They did wrong

All of Them seemingly reconciled They're differences, however, They still express doubt regarding Connie...


Chapter 7: "Was He really innocent?"

The premise of this chapter is that the Crystal Gems are, understandably, conflicted about what Steven had done to Them

Pearl was always motherly and therefore She was worried and thought that this was just some accident that Steven never wanted to happen, and thus worrying of Him getting locked up

Garnet was stuck in between due to Her being a Fusion of Ruby and Sapphire. Ruby seems to be quite angry at Steven while Sapphire was cynical for the sudden change, doubting if this was on purpose

Amethyst was definitely pissed, She felt like as if Steven, someone Who She sees as a Brother, had betrayed an entire Family

Due to the conflicting nature of all three/four. This lead to argument after argument between Them

The chapter would ultimately follow each character as They all try to clear They're mind of the thing

Pearl would go with Sabina/Mystery Girl on a ride for fresh air, Garnet would separate temporarily as both Ruby and Sapphire go on separate ways, and Amethyst would simply began to destroy and wreck anything with Steven in it

Greg, Steven's Dad, would've appeared to calm Amethyst down and try to get some info

Ruby and Sapphire would've eventually returned together and become Garnet once more

Pearl would eventually calm down and She would witness Connie being dragged out of the Police Station, which began to make Her feel suspicious

Connie would then run to Pearl, claiming that Steven had been dragged away by Her Father

So Greg and The Crystal Gems would attempt to communicate with Crytal Gems Team B (Peridot, Lapis, Bismuth) while Connie would contact Her friends

Which leads us to


Chapter 8: "That's what friends are for"

I never got this one really polished, but the basic premise is that Connie would go to Her friends for help

Her friends hesitated at first, I mean it's understandable

When one of Your friends gets punched in the eye by They're Boyfriend and began to bleed, that screams red flags

But of course, Connie tries to prove that Steven was indeed in danger and that this was all simply a mistake

The group eventually agrees and They would all go to the Police Station

While this was happening, another event is occurring


Chapter 9: "We need Your help"

This Chapter would focus more on the B Team

Peridot and Lapis had a falling out, Lapis was known to overreact out of anger and had PTSD as She had been in a toxic relationship before. Peridot on the other hand was simply upset that Steven did all of this

Bismuth attempted to calm both down, but it lead to ultimately Lapis flying away again as Peridot attempted to chase after Her

Greg and The Crystal Gems eventually arrived, only to see Bismuth in a face of defeat and questioning Herself

The group eventually cheered Her up and attempted to find Peridot and Lapis

At the same time, Peridot had managed to reach Lapis, calming Her down in the process

The crew eventually found Them and They all team up to go the Police Station and save Steven

Which leads us to the Finale...


Chapter 10: "It's over isn't it?"

This Chapter would have the group split up, Team B and Connie's Friends would've tried to find any info regarding what Doug is doing and what's going on while Team A, Greg, and Connie try to get past security to break Steven out

Team A, Greg, and Connie would eventually run into Security, Who would then cause a bit of a fight and shootout, The Gems telling Greg and Connie to go on without Them

Both would then run into Priyanka, Connie's Mom. She was shocked by what was going on and demanded that Connie explain what was going on

Connie tried Her best to no avail, Priyanka was about to take Her Daughter away when Greg stepped in and held Her back, ordering Connie to save Steven

Connie eventually managed to reach the Interrogation Room and saw Steven as a bloody mess

Connie tried to get Steven out but Steven refused, claiming that He knew everything and that Connie hated Him much to Connie surprise

This would then lead back to Team B and Connie's Friends. They soon found Doug's Office, there They would break in and find files as well as hard drives containing crucial pieces of evidence

One of these hard drives consisted of a CCTV Footage, showing that Doug may have told Steven that Connie wouldn't forgive Him for what He did to Her, Steven didn't believe it but soon Doug managed to convinced Him, telling Him to stay away from Her once He's locked up

The team had found some crucial evidence and was planning to leave when Doug suddenly arrived and captured Them

We cut back to Steven and Connie during these arguments, eventually Steven revealing the truth about what Doug said

Connie dismissed these as untrue and told Him that She'll be there to support Him and solve this whole issue and soon the both stopped fighting

Connie freed Steven and planned to ran out but They run into Doug and other Officers

Doug and Connie had a brief argument but during this time, Steven was looking around the room

He saw that The Gems had been held down and saw Greg knocked out

This sets Him into a rage and He took Connie's sword and started to violently attack people, which in it's truest case was Rose and Pink being angered by the revelation

Steven tried to hold Himself back as Doug and the others began to panic, They then began to shoot Steven several times before Steven finally got full control and stabs Himself in His Gem, collapsing on the floor

But when this happened, Pink appeared out of it, He was free from His shell

Doug and the other Officers then tried to shoot Pink, but instead Rose came out as well. They kept shooting at Rose and She turned to Pink Diamond, Who would violently beat the cops and strangle Doug before throwing Him through a Window, injuring Him heavily

We then cut to Steven in the Cloud Room, or a representation of it. There He sees Pink Diamond, telling Him that He's on a Narrow Ledge and to make a choice, either "Go Back" Or "Move on"

This would've been answered on a poll


Ending 1: "I Moved on"

Pink Diamond asks Steven if He was sure, Steven says that He's tired of all the things He went through and that He wanted to move on

We cut back to the Hospital, Steven strapped on a bed with medical equipment

Priyanka and the other Doctors are trying They're best to heal Steven but it was clear that it's becoming difficult

Connie was watching the entire thing, hoping He would live another day

Unfortunately, He didn't

Connie said some final words to Him as Steven dies

The Diamonds would then make an announcement regarding this and it was horrific tragedy

A funeral was held at Beach City, people giving out speeches about Steven

During this moment, some of the Gems believed this was all Doug's fault and began a fight but Connie de-escalates it to Steven sacrificing Himself

Steven was the buried under a special tomb and the funeral continued at Steven's home

Greg was grieving and so was Pearl, eventually Connie calms Them both down

The next day, things were still flimsy around the Maheswaran household

Connie still feels conflicted about Her Father and Her Mother

Connie Herself haven't eaten any breakfast much to Her Parents' concern

Eventually both of Connie's Parents had to leave for some errands and Connie finally decides to eat breakfast

There, He would encounter Steven's Ghost, telling Her to go check the Portrait of the Both of Them

She sees it and find a hidden note there, She as going to ask Steven but He had already vanished

The note turns out to be a riddle, so Connie would invite all the Crystal Gems over to talk about it

The riddle would have Connie searching through a Painting, which would have another note

The note leads back to Lion, Who had Steven's shield

They then convinced Lion and so He gives the Shield

The shield was meant to be placed with Connie's sword in a Display at the balcony, which would ultimately open up a hidden wall in Steven's bedroom

There lies a chest filled with items, all of Them leading back to the ending of SUF

There was also a VHS Tape that Steven recorded for Himself, He claims that if anyone found this then He's most likely dead and all of this is His final gifts

The group then hugged each other as They cried away before Connie drove Steven's car back to Her House, patching things up with Her family as the comic pans over to that picture of Steven and Connie...


Epilogue 1: "Nice to see You again"

Connie is now 19 and studying in College, She made a lot of friends and is doing well

Her group asks if She wants to hang out with Them but She declined and soon got into Her car

She then drove off to the graveyard, leaving flowers on none other then Steven's Grave as He watches Her, smiling in the end

Now for the other ending


Ending 2: "Fixing My Mistakes"

This ending is pretty simple, it has Steven waking up and seeing Connie there

The both would soon share a hug and We cut to the epilogue


Epilogue 2: "Being Human"

It's been 2 months since the whole thing

Steven and Connie decided that They're gonna need a break from Beach City for awhile

The two announced that They're going on a long Road trip across the U.S and so They gave everyone a gift before leaving

The two then made it to a nice hillside somewhere in Oregon and so the two sat there and had a picnic, Steven would play His rendition of "I'd Rather be Me" from SUF as the story comes to a close

The End


Well I guess this is it... this is the end of My SU Ride

I might make a final Thank You post and then leave

It's been such a fun ride but all good things must come to an end

Thank You for all of Your support

Happy Halloween

Goodbye

-W. Fazworth
