Since Steven Universe is primarily influenced by Anime, What if this show managed to pull off a "Space Battleship Yamato" story arc?



Main premise:

After the destruction of the Cluster, and the utterly horrible failure that was a second attempted invasion of Earth. Yellow Diamond launches a barrage of planet bombs that render Earth's surface uninhabitable. However when it seems that the villain has won, It turns out that Humanity had been relocated underground by the Crystal Gems. However since the planet bombs have begun to slowly terraform Earth to fit Gem life, Humanity's morale drops as resources all around the world begin to drain and radiation levels rise. When all hope seems lost, a lone gem spaceship crash lands near the remains of Beach city with the pilot being taken in. It is revealed that the Gem in the ship  came from another previously unknown and more resilient Crystal Gem faction, known as the Crystal Gems of Iscandar, led by, Pink diamond, Rose's mentor. Iscandar was settled by Pink diamond's crystal gems during the rebellion and since then, their harmony with the native species has brought them to about the same level of technological advancement as Homeworld. However unlike Homeworld, Iscandar's technology is built for the purpose of saving and giving life, not destroying it, Almost as though it was a good twin of Homeworld. The Gem pilot gives them plans for a special warp drive and instructions to head to iscandar to retrieve a special device created by Pink Diamond to reverse the Damage Yellow Diamond has wrought on Earth. In response Peridot and Pearl start work on constructing a spaceship. . . . Built into the Hull of a Battleship (a modern one despite looking like a hybrid of a pre-WW1 Dreadnought and a Pre-WW2 Battleship due to the fact that ww2 never happened in the show) since it was the only thing they could work with. With everything in place, and going as planned, and with the Gem pilot going along with them, It's now Steven's job to take the journey across Gem controlled space to reach Iscandar to save Earth. He is their final hope.
