Thesis of Hope
Basic Premise:
The setting is in Britain, in a historic little hamlet on the idyllic (yet slightly boring) countryside plain. Completely normal, except for the stasis-ridden gems underneath the ground itself. Hiding in a telluric chasm laden with chalcedony deposits are countless stones, frozen in blocks of colorless glass that appears to be far harder than even most metals.
During the great war between the rebels and Homeworld thousands of years in the past, a skirmish in Europe ended with an entire army at their knees, forced to surrender to the Homeworld gem tactician and commander known as Blue Topaz- a fierce fighter who had the power to seal away any gem she defeated in the earth inside a barrier that couldn't be shattered even by centuries' erosion against it.
Yet, today, in 20XX... the barrier seal on these gems, some humanoid and some monstrous, is finally coming undone. As Homeworld sets its sights on Earth for a new Kindergarten location once more, does a slowly-regenerating armada of Crystal Gems have the ability to keep up with a civilization that has been advancing past them for millennia?
No.
Not without some help by the human race. With the barriers only being able to be shattered by organic force, Gems and humans must cooperate to defeat monsters, defend Earth... and perhaps learn a couple of other lessons along the way.
