Here we are in the future! But... first, we must move back to the past, and look at the journey we've gone through, in this case... The Stardust Crusade towards DIO and The Legendary Conclusion of The Gem War. Specifically, their Warriors! Will The be Gems strong enough to continue protecting the universe, or will The Crusaders stand proud and continue to prevent the end of the world? Let's settle this in A DEATH BATTLE!
((Disclaimer: For this fight, we'll be using The Original Crystal Gems (((((Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven)))) in their current form, and for the Crusaders, Iggy will not be included ((((So Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, Kakyoin, and Polnareff)))) Just so we're on the same page))
The Stardust Crusaders[]
A Rivalry... A Journey... A Bloodline, these are the things that drive the Crusaders. After a sickness affects the Joestars, and a villain from the past comes back to haunt them, Jotaro Kujo, Joseph Joestar, Muhammad Avdol, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, and Iggy The Dog, gear up, get up, and stand up against the evil DIO Brando, forcing them into a battle against the World!
Jotaro Kujo[]
Stand: Star Platinum
Abilities:
-Super Precision and Perception: Able to see even the smallest objects in dark photos, flick bullets so well that he can kill rats, catch bullets in point-blank range, and removed a parasitic brain implant better than a surgeon.
-Super Speed: Can move faster than light, and can match speeds with Silver Chariot.
-Super Strength: Can punch a shark in the face, make visible damage on Sheer Heart Attack ((which is basically an indestructible stand)), can match up with The World, and even destroyed a giant wall of teeth stronger than diamond.
-Ingenuity: Jotaro has the trademark Joestar Ingenuity, allowing him to think, plan, and improvise things out in an instant! He's clever enough to think of a plan on the spot, and even bluff a professional gambler into insanity.
-Star Platinum The World: Allows Jotaro to stop time for five seconds.
Joseph Joestar[]
Stand: Hermit Purple
Abilities:
-Hamon: Joseph is a master of Hamon, his vine-like stand Hermit Purple working well as a Hamon adaptor.
-Ingenuity and Luck: Joseph is the cleverest of the group, he's able to make a map of an entire town with sand, and send a fucking ancient vampire god thing to space, along with killing both of his friends... oof.
Muhammad Avdol[]
Stand: Magician's Red
Abilities:
-Red Bind: Allows him to incapacitate people in ropes made out of fire and toss them around.
-Pyromancy: Allows Avdol to summon flames and fire.
-Crossfire Hurricane: A shot of fire shaped as an ankh.

-Durability: Has taken multiple deadly hits and survived ((Such as getting shot and stabbed in the face, and getting stabbed in the back multiple times))
Noriaki Kakyoin[]
Stand: Hierophant Green
Abilities:
-Snake Like Body: Slender and slimy enough to move around like a snake and even control other people through using their body, and also tangle up enemies like a rope.
-Emerald Splash: Kakyoin's signature move, which allows him to fire off a ranged blast of emeralds, along with creating a giant, twenty-meter tangle of membranes that he can use to blast enemies to hell.
-Ingenuity: He's smart enough to take down Death-13, a stand which traps people in a nightmare scape that he has complete control over, and makes the victims forget what happened when they wake up.
Jean Pierre Polnareff[]
Stand: Silver Chariot
Abilities:
-Super Durability: Silver Chariot's armor allows it to take a load of hits without dying.
-Super Speed: Able to match up with Star Platinum, ((faster than light speeds)) and even catch Hanged Man, a stand that travels from mirror to mirror.
-Sword Skills: Silver Chariot is an amazing swordsman, able to stab multiple coins in a line with no effort, and fire off it's blade as a projectile.
These are the Stardust Crusaders, the ones who go on a Bizarre Adventure across Asia to kill an evil Vampire, and with there skill, effort, and determination, they were able to pull it off, but... will they be strong enough to defeat the Gems? Or will DIO have been the least of their problems? Whatever it is, you better keep out of their way, unless you want to end up as... Stardust!
The Crystal Gems[]
We... Are The Crystal Gems! Is a tune you'll hear when you need some saving and in this case, The Gems are here to answer your call! Originally led by Rose Quartz, and soon... Garnet, The Gems are currently led by Pink Diamond's Son, Steven Universe. Their members, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven, all have a range of abilities and powers, such as:
Garnet[]
Abilities:
-Super Strength: Garnet is strong enough to break through all kinds of material, especially with her signature weapons, two giant Gauntlets that she can use as rockets, and enlarge even enlarge them.
-Super Durability: Strong enough to take hits from Gems much stronger than her, walk around in lava with no problem, and play meat bear mania for hours.
-Electrokinesis: Can generate enough electricity to power-up a van, and turn on an already unplugged arcade cabinet.
-Future Vision: Allows Garnet to see into the future, but only when she's in some form of trance or focus. So, in general, it's very impractical to use it in combat.
Amethyst[]
Abilities:
-Shape-Shifting: Amethyst is able to alter the size and form of her body and does so proficiently.
-Spin-Dash: Amethyst can curl up into a small ball and roll and crash into opponents but can also combine with her whips and Make her spin dash much more destructive.
-Superhuman Durability: She is tough enough to survive explosions, stabs, Falling high falls, and even take a hit from Garnet that sent her crashing through the ground and turned sand into glass on impact.
-Super Strength: She is strong enough to pull metals apart and smash boulders on her own.
Pearl[]
Abilities:
-Weapon Mastery: Pearl is proficient in almost every form of melee weapon, even amassing a collection of weapons.
-Intelligence: Pearl is very clever, even intelligent enough to create a robot.
-Holo-Pearls: Pearl can create hard-light holograms of herself that are independent of their creator and serve as training dummies that act on a combat level setting.
Steven Universe[]
Abilities:
-Bubble Shield: Steven can create a large pink bubble over himself and others, allowing for a great defense.
-Healing Spit: Steven is able to heal himself and others with his saliva, although it doesn't always work.
-Levitation: Steven can manipulate the height he jumps and the speed he descends.
Protecting the Universe, human and gem alike, they are The Crystal Gems, and they'll always save the day! But are they powerful enough to take on the Crusaders? Or are diamonds not as unbreakable as we think? It's time to settle this... with a DEATH BATTLE!
Pre-Fight[]
"Steeven! Steeeeven!" Amethyst calls towards the beach house "C'mon dude! I got a beach ball and everything!" She continues to shout, "Amethyst! Don't boss Steven around like that!' Pearl scolds from behind her "Neither of you should be arguing about who gets to control Garnet, you're all terrible influences" Garnet says from atop a tree. The three laugh before finally... a door opens from the beach house, and Steven Universe, son of Rose Quartz, heir of Pink Diamond, and Leader of The Crystal Gems walks out, a smile on his face. "Alright! Alright! I'm here guys!" He tells his friends "So... split into teams?" Steven asks "I'll go with Amethyst and Pearl you go with Garnet!" Steven suggests "Seems fair" Pearl agrees, shrugging.
As Garnet pelts the beach ball, it goes off track, as it collides with a large head of white hair "What the hell!?" A voice shouts, as a Frenchman wearing bizarre clothing starts feeling his hair, trying to fix all the tangles and curls "What was that for?!" Polnareff shouts at the Gems "Woah Woah, Polnareff, don't get in so much of a worry to fight" Joseph Joestar tells his companion. "Sorry about my friend here" Kakyoin tells the Protectors of Earth "No problem!" Steven says, while Joseph and Avdol both hold Polnareff back "Lemme at 'em! I wanna teach them a lesson they'll never forget!" Polnareff shouts "A lesson?" Pearl raises an eyebrow "Hm... You know what? Why don't you show us this lesson you're talking about, right everyone" Amethyst nods, and Garnet sighs "Come on Steven, we have to help" Avdol turns to Joseph "Mr. Joestar?" Joseph shakes his head "Son of a bitch..." As the members of both teams group up, Kakyoin turns to a seventeen-year-old High Schooler wearing a black coat with a bright golden chain, and a black hat with a hand design "Jotaro? You in?" he asks...
Jotaro sighs, turning towards the Gems before lowering his hat "Good Grief"
F I G H T ![]
((*Cue -Battle Hymn Of The Soul -Dual Mix-))
Garnet summons her gauntlets, Amethyst pulls out her whip, Pearl grabs her spear, and Steven's shield materializes on his arm as the four advances towards the Crusaders. Pearl raises her blade over Polnareff, bringing it down on him, but as she does, she collides with a strange invisible force "What th-" "Silver Chariot!" Polnareff shouts, his Stand rearing it's arm back as it slams the handle of it's blade into Pearl's face, sending her back. "I'm gonna blow you to hell you bastard!" Polnareff shouts, running towards her. Meanwhile, Amethyst jumps towards Joseph, slamming her whip towards him. As the whip gets closer, a green rope wraps around it, as Kakyoin's Hierophant Green pulls her towards him, as it clasps it's hands together, discharging multiple green emeralds towards her "Emerald Splash!" The attack misses, but right before Amethyst lands, a purple vine wraps around her leg and Joseph pulls her towards him, slamming his fist into her face! As that goes on, Avdol stands across from Garnet, Magician's Red launching blasts of flame towards her. Garnet leaps towards The Fortune Teller, her fists raised, but suddenly "ORA!" An invisible force collides with her face, slamming her onto the ground. Avdol turns around, but as he does, a pink shield is hurled towards him, colliding with his face and sending him to the sandy floor.
Pearl is slammed onto the seashore by Polnareff's attacks, and as she stands up, Polnareff laughs "Is that all you got? C'mon!" Pearl snaps her fingers, suddenly, two holograms appear around her, the trio advancing towards The French Crusader. "Take this!" "Is that it? I can do that too you bastard!" As the three Pearls attack Polnareff, Silver Chariot's armor snap off, creating three exact replicas that counter the Pearls strikes! "HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA HORA!" Polnareff shouts, making a pose as the Knight like stands jab at the holograms multiple times, destroying them instantly "Now take this!" Polnareff shouts, as the Chariots strike Pearl in the chest in unison. Pearl grits her teeth, having no idea where any of these attacks even come from, but she grips her spear and slams it into Polnareff's face! "Try this on for size!" Pearl strikes Polnareff twice, before slamming him into the air, and throwing the spear at his chest, throwing him away. Polnareff lands on his feet as Pearl runs towards him "Now to end the show!" She says, summoning another spear. Polnareff grabs the spear from the ground, as Silver Chariot reappears, and he hands the stand the spear "Go to hell!" Chariot zooms towards Pearl, and in the blink of an eye, it traps her into a barrage of hits as it's user shouts at the top of his lungs "HORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORA!" He shouts, before finishing with one more powerful attack, incapacitating Pearl.
Amethyst jumps onto her feet, leaping at Joseph "Eat this old man!" She shouts, slamming her whip into his face. Joseph staggers back as Amethyst continues to strike him, but before she goes in for a finishing blow, she is pulled back by Kakyoin, as multiple emeralds collide with her back "EMERALD! SPLASH!" The blows collide, tossing her towards Joseph, who grabs her face, slamming her into the sand while yellow energy is charged into her as he shouts "HAMON OVERDRIVE!" Before tossing her towards Polnareff, who strikes her in the stomach with enough strength to send her flying into Pearl, the two colliding and immobilizing Amethyst.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Star Platinum shouts as it punches Garnet, who struggles to keep her guard up. Jotaro sees an opening in her defense and lands a punch right at her stomach, obliterating her stance, and allowing Star Platinum to grab her, throwing her towards Steven.
As Jotaro was clashing with Garnet, Avdol and Steven are locked in their own battle, as Steven tries his best to land a hit on Avdol, his fists surrounded by a pink bubble-like substance. Avdol dodges an attack and rams his foot into Steven's chest; giving him enough time to summon Magicians Red and bind him with flames "Red Bind! Hell 2 You!" Avdol shouts, hurling Steven towards Garnet, the two colliding and debilitating each other.
The gems all fall to the ground, as the Crusaders turn around "That was surprisingly easy" Polnareff says. But then...
((*Cue - Obsidian -Heavy Metal Version- ))
"HOLY SHIT!" Joesph shouts as they stare down a gigantic beast, skin as black as a volcano, eyes made out of flame, and in it's hand, a giant lava blade. Obsidian brings it's sword down on the Crusaders, who just barely move out of the way. Avdol tries discharging a flame at it but it does nothing, as it brings it's blade down again, sweeping the Crusaders and slamming them to the ground! Obsidian roars at the sky as the Joestar group lies on the ground, and right as Obsidian is ready to claim it's victory, Joseph stands up and smiles "Listen to me, and listen close, the very next thing to come out of your mouth will be We are the Crystal Gems, and We Always Save The Day! Isn't it?" Joseph shouts, and as if right on cue, Obsidian says the exact same thing, forcing it to stagger back in surprise, as Joseph smiles with glee, and the Crusaders all stand up, laughing.
((*Cue - Stardust Crusaders))
Suddenly, the entire surrounding twenty meters appears covered in Hierophant's membranes! "Kakyoin! Now!" Joseph says as Kakyoin shouts at the top of his lungs "20 METER EMERALD SPLASH!" Suddenly, bright green emeralds start colliding with Obsidian from every direction, tossing it around "Avdol! Your turn!" "RED BIND!" A rope made out of flames materializes, trapping Obsidian in place. "Polnareff! You know what to do!" Polnareff jumps towards Joseph, who wraps Hermit Purple's Vines around Silver Chariot's blade, charging Hamon into it as Joseph spins around while shouting "SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!" Before tossing Polnareff at Obsidian's gem, before the Frenchmen smiles "HORAAAAAA!" Silver Chariot slams it's blade into Obsidian's gem, sending Hamon throughout the entirety of the gigantic fusion, forcing it to fall...
"S T A R P L A T I N U M ! T H E W O R L D !"
Time comes to a pause, as behind the suspended Obsidian stood Jotaro Kujo, who leaps towards the beast, before letting out a barrage of hits!
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA"
Time resumes, and Obsidian shatters into pieces, and as the shattered pieces of the gems fall to the ground, an unconscious Steven starts to descend rapidly, as Star Platinum and Jotaro rear back their fist and shout in unison "OOORRRAAA!!!" They shout at the same time, slamming their fist into Steven's face, sending him flying towards the beach house, which erupts a large explosion from such force! And as the dust settles... nothing of the Crystal Gems remains.
K.O![]
The Crusaders stand triumphant over the Gems, the sun shining through the dust, as they stare at each other "Geez, that was much more tedious than I wanted" Polnareff complains "But it serves them right!" He continues to retort. Joseph facepalms while muttering "Oh my God..." Avdol and Kakyoin snicker before they all turn to Jotaro, who simply lowers his hat...
"Good Grief"
Conclusion[]
That was brutal! But... first we have to break some things down. While The Gems were quite powerful ((and Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl definitely had more experience)) they had no way to fight The Crusaders. Being unable to hurt, much less see stands would certainly give them a much harder fight, but The Crusaders also outnumbered them, outsmarted them, and in general, could perfectly counterattack anything they had to throw at them. But now with the inclusion of Obsidian, shouldn't that give the Gems the win? While Obsidian is gigantic and one of the most powerful things in Steven Universe, it definitely won't be able to stand up against The Crusaders when they work in unison.
The Crystal Gems might've been powerful, but this time they just couldn't find a way to stand against The Joestar Team...
This Death Battle's Winner is...
THE STARDUST CRUSADERS!
