Sometimes, incredibly bad things need to happen for something incredibly good to be created.

In the Year 2026, NORAD detected a huge mass of what appeared to be spaceships heading in the direction of Earth. This coincided with the destruction of the International space station and the sudden cut-off of satellite communications and services. the massive "Armada" appeared to have a projected course that would lead them to a small Town in the Delmarva Peninsula known as Beach City. Realizing that an Alien invasion was truly at hand, the World's militaries began to mobilize and each superpower began to shore up their defenses. In the eyes of the Crystal Gems, the moment had arrive. The Homeworld Gems have returned to deal with the Crystal Gems personally. Once they are finished, they will destroy Humanity and reactivate Kindergarten. A Second Gem Invasion has commenced, though in the eye of Humanity it was the much anticipated Third World war that they they have always feared and sought to prevent.

In the Early years of the second Gem Invasion (known by humanity as the third world war), Both Crystal Gems and Humans fought to defend Earth from the invading forces of The Diamond Authority. just as what happened 6,000 years ago, both Gems and Humans, both warriors and innocent bystanders fell in battle. The second Gem war was far more devastating as the Homeworld's advanced technology leveled entire cities and tore up the landscape.

the United States was the first nation to fall. because Homeworld infiltrators managed to weaken the once powerful country and culminated a conspiracy that greatly destroyed that nation's ego. The Homeworld Gems marched into the capitol and destroyed it's symbols and monuments of American pride. The president and members of congress were unable to escape as a Gem warship suddenly ambushed Airforce one and shot it out of the sky.

As a result the 50 states that made up the U.S. broke up into to 50 separate countries that were slowly being consumed by the advancing Homeworld Army. Innocent Men, Women and Children are slaughtered as Homeworld warriors turned mass murderers attack highways crowded with evacuees. Those who survived the onslaught were left with a broken heart and a vengeful and savage resolve.

Upon reaching Area 51, the Homeworld gems raided the secret facility and liberated other Homeworld Gems and technology within it's confines. all the Human personnel were executed as the facility was promptly destroyed.

In a somewhat glorious move, Steven Quartz Universe of Beach City managed to convince the countries of the world to united as one. A united Earth was created as the surviving/unaffected nations of the world swore to cooperate in dealing with the Homeworld threat.

Out at sea evacuation ships were under attack by the Homeworld space fleet. The remnants of the U.S. navy fought to protect the refugee ships as the homeworld relentlessly pasted them. Among the the most valiant of these ships was the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) which sacrificed herself to the forces of Yellow Diamond in an attempt to protect the former cruise ship turned refugee transport Harmony of the seas which was under attack by several robonoids.

the Enterprise's sacrifice was a rallying cry for Humanity the starting point for the hatred of Human ships named "Enterprise" by the Homeworld Gems who would come to view such ships as a symbol of Human Defiance to high authority.

For 27 long and bloody years the Crystal Gems ad Humanity fought the Homeworld Gems. millions died in the conflict, among them was local conspiracy theorist Ronaldo Fryman, both of Connie's parents, and the majority of Beach City's adult population. The surviving citizens were now only made up of the children and adolescents.

Despite an escalating and ongoing global conflict, manned space exploration continued into the early 2030s with at least one (disastrous and unsuccessful) mission to Mars. The International Space agency was a cross-national space organization founded amidst this Gem invasion. Unfortunately in the climax of the Gem invasion it dissolved after several devastating attacks by the Gem Homeworld.

In the Climax of the Invasion, humanity was forced to use it's nuclear arsenal on the Homeworld Gems as a final attempt to flush them out. in the process facilities such as Kindergarten were practically atomized out of existence. The majority of the Homeworld fleet was damaged by the blasts, and an unknown number of Homeworld Gems were literally vaporized into oblivion. Yellow diamond at last was forced to retreat.

by 2053 it was Over. Steven and the Crystal Gems had finally saved the Earth. But even as they have saved the planet from the homeworld, they were unable to save Human civilization, which had promptly collapsed and now lay in shambles. Whole generations were nearly wiped out, 5 billion humans were dead, and along with Homeworld Gems, Large populations of Humans were bombed out of existence, and the survivors were placed in jeopardy by radioactivity, supply shortages, and the collapse of most of the major governments. The subsequent collapse of the global economy, political systems, and the drastic environmental effects of the invasion devastated those nations which had escaped direct nuclear attack. Humanity lay in a second dark age, depressed and drained of motivation. Many of the major cities of the world lay in ruins as the survivors began to live in makeshift villages near the wreckage. In most places, law and order ceased as Humans in these regions reverted to a state f barbarism all for the sake of survival.

Earth's environment was in a mess after the invasion. due to the effects of kindergarten, half the ecosystems of the world were obliterated. critically endangered species were finally brought to extinction (among these, the humpback whale), and due to the use of nuclear weapons, nuclear winters occured in different parts of the world as well as radiation poisoning of both Humans and animals.

In the decade between 2053 and 2063, Steven felt pity for his fellow Humans who were severely demtivated and drained. What he was most saddened by was the fact that he cant d his favorite activities anymore. No TV, no Pizza, no videogames, no donuts, no nothing. It was all destroyed in that Gem invasion. feeling sorry about Steven's depression, Garnet suggested to steven that he should rally Humanity and make a vow to help them rebuild civilization if he wants those things back. Steven agreed but the Crystal Gems were unwilling to help. Art he same time he learned of the intense bigotry the Gems had with humanity though shrugged it off. However, even without his father for support Steven found help from Connie, Pedee, and a young ameteur rocket scientist who was to become pivotal in the recovery of Human civilization and it's acceptance to the interstellar community. Enter 18 year old, Zefram Cochrane.

Steven and his remaining friends helped Cochrane in developing his prototype warpship which he christened, the "Phoenix", but when he asked Pearl in helping out she refused in great disgust stating that Cochrane's warp drive will never work and that Humanity will never go into space. She eventually decided to help him after being caught in the middle of sabotaging the warpship and verbally assaulting Cochrane to the point of nearly depressing him. After She and Steven apologize to Cochrane, the construction of the warpship seemed to be at a faster pace with pearl working with the team.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">April, 5th, 2063. After a successful test flight of the Phoenix warpship (to which pearl was glad it didnt break up like her previous ship). an air of amazement occurred at night as Garnet was able to catch sight of a vulcan research vessel orbiting Earth over Beach City. As a landing vessel fro the vulcan ship landed in front of the remnants of Steven's house and the crystal temple. Both Humans and Gems stood in amazement as a one Vulcan came out to greet whoever launched the warpship. Cochrane, Pearl and Steven stepped out to meet the visitor. Steven and Cochrane were both surprised and relieved tot he fact that there are 'good" aliens after all in the universe while Pearl was amazed that the Vulcans were still alive for she thought they were conquered by the Homeworld long ago.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">It was to be the beginning of a new chapter of Human history for a great change occurred from that day on. With the Help of the Vulcans, Humanity rebuilt its world from the ashes of the devastating Gem Invasion; most forms of poverty and disease were eradicated as a near utopian United Earth was established and space technology began to advance.
