This technically isn't a chapter, but rather flashback after flashback and maintaining the status quo of the present time. So, I want to bring up the Arcs in this series, because they have a meaning instead of just storytelling. I know some of you are scratching your heads on how Huge Gigantacus managed to steal Homeworld's colonies from under their noses.

And I sorta just pawned it off in the comments, basically explaining how instead of making a chapter, which is what I'm doing now. So, I probably explained the Arcs already, but I'll do it again for the sake of this chapter. Also important, these Arcs start when Steven gets accepted into the Crystal Gems, which means there isn't an Arc for the gem war or Pink Diamond's abuse. 

I will show the chronological order of the Arcs in this series and explain each one individually. 

The Crystal Gem Arc.
The Gem War Arc.
The Homeworld Arc.
The Spinel Arc. 
The Rebellion Arc.
The Moonlight Arc.
The New Game + Arc.
The Dominator Arc.
The Charlotte Arc.
The Huge Gigantacus Arc. 

The Crystal Gem Arc: This is the very first Arc of the series, the one that started it all. Steven is accepted in the group with only Rose Quartz thrilled to have someone like Steven in the team. The gems weren't thrilled with the idea of Steven being on the team, especially Pearl. Rose flees after a while, and Steven is blamed for it. Garnet and Amethyst eventually moved on and believed that Rose left for personal reasons while Pearl still insisted that it was Steven's fault and held a grudge against him. This Arc, overall, is Steven and the gems learning to live together and coexist. In the meantime, they learn to get along and fight corrupted gems. 

The Gem War Arc: This is the start of the series. While the Crystal Gem Arc maintains a status quo, the Gem War Arc is when Lapis was found and starts progressing the story. This is when gems from the war get involved along with the redemption of Peridot, Lapis and Bismuth. Steven, the Crystal Gems and the new recruits battle gems from Homeworld and catch glimpses of the Diamonds. Jasper gets defeated for the first, second, and third time. The rubies occurred twice but were taken care of. So, the five rubies, only one of them came back from being thrown in space, so where are the other four? Well, I never thought about them again, so the other four are just floating around in space to this day. 

The Homeworld Arc: The first Arc that takes place all in one chapter, and many more are like this. This Arc is when Steven goes to Homeworld and fights the Diamonds himself once his plan was denied by the three main Crystal Gems, and with the aid of Bismuth and Peridot helping him get to Homeworld. Long story short, Steven defeats the three Diamonds. Blue was defeated by a single headbutt, Yellow and Steven have a prolonged fight where both are constantly countering each other with skill but Steven proves to be more skillful than her, and finally, White Diamond was defeated by an accidental hit to her gem and was taken advantage of when she was in pain. White Diamond decided to help fix the corrupted gems because Steven spared her life. After the gems are cured, Steven and the Diamonds make a deal, if Steven searches and finds Pink Diamond, all is forgiven from the war and they'll leave Earth alone. 

The Spinel Arc: The very first Arc that is named after the villain of the Arc. Much like the movie, Spinel comes to Earth to poison it with her injector and she rejuvenates the three main Crystal Gems. However, since Steven is human, she poisons him instead of using the rejuvenator on him. The rest of the Arc plays out how the movie goes, and at the end, Steven comforts Spinel and offers a place at his home and she accepts it. She sent her injector off into space, never to be seen again... for now...

The Rebellion Arc: This is when the rebellion of Era-3 starts. Jasper raises a small militia to battle Era-3 and revert Homeworld back to Era-1. The Rebellion Arc lasts quite a bit. It doesn't really matter, because everything that happened is undid and the status quo is restored. Jasper kidnaps Spinel to use a collar to make Spinel side with her, the original plan was to have Spinel's injector threaten Earth while Jasper retook Homeworld, but Wattpad decided to be the biggest ass and crash mid-production and I couldn't restored it. Keep in mind, I was using the app and a mobile device, not a PC, so I couldn't just somehow bypass the tomfoolery. So I just wrote it off that they stopped the injector from reaching Earth because I couldn't endure writing the thousands of words I spent about an hour or two or more on. Peridot almost dies and Spinel gets freed from the collar. Steven finds Pink Diamond, he brings her back to the Diamonds, and then he leaves.

The Moonlight Arc: The first Arc that started the second story and lasted 13 Chapters. This was probably the second most impactful Arc of the entire series, and would've had more impactful if I just wrote it the way I originally intended to and not be a big softie and gave her a forced redemption Arc. This Arc, overall, proves Moonlight's capabilities as she demonstrated that the Diamonds are powerless against her, Steven is powerless against her, nobody can fight her by themselves. Moonlight is/was the most powerful gem in the universe and you would need to outsmart her to win, which is difficult since she is the cleverest Diamond out of the four (she is half Diamond, much like Canon Steven). 

The New Game + Arc: This is when Rose The Flower was introduced in the series, and decided to use time travel to help Steven in some way. Meanwhile, The Dominator Arc is going on while this Arc is going on. Steven speed-runs what he lived through with the help of Rose and a naive Moonlight. 

The Dominator Arc: This is when Lord Dominator attacks Homeworld while Steven is gone. Howard pretended to be Steven and stepped up as a more valuable member of the team, despite being human. Unlike Connie in the normal Steven Universe, Howard doesn't let his emotions get in the way and manages to be a great human teammate to the Crystal Gems. Dominator is defeated thanks to Peridot and Howard's innovation and Moonlight goes through her forced redemption arc. 

The Charlotte Arc: The second to last Arc, the one that has made the most impact to the series as a whole. Charlotte went down as the most impactful villain, more so than Huge Gigantacus. How so? Huge Gigantacus may took over the colonies that belonged the Diamonds, but Charlotte has stripped all four Diamonds from their powers, broke Steven more than Moonlight, and corrupted all of Homeworld's population. And did everyone a favor and ended Jasper. But like most of the villains, her reign of terror has ended, despite the protagonists setbacks. 

The Huge Gigantacus Arc: The current Arc of the series, and probably the last one as I mentioned that this story was meant for Huge Gigantacus since he never made it to the second story. Not much to say other than Huge Gigantacus has made Homeworld go bankrupt and seized control of the galaxy.

That's all of the Arcs... currently. Oh, and just for fun, Imma list all the villains because why not? I won't be including minor villains/side villains (so no Bluebird, Peridot or Kunzite).

The Diamond Authority
Spinel

3rd Person P.O.V.

[During the Crystal Gem Arc]:

"Sir?" Iron Boarder hovered to Huge Gigantacus on his board.

"What?" Huge Gigantacus rested his head on his hand.

"Shall we invade the colonies?"

"No, why would we do that?"

"Well, since Homeworld is at war with Earth, we could take over their colonies while they're killing each other."

"Except there's her..." Huge Gigantacus points at a picture of Rose (the flower, not Rose Quartz) which also has some darts penetrating it, but none actually hits her face. You could say that he intentionally missed her face (for some of you who think they're a cute couple) or you could say he is terrible at darts. "She'll just stop me before I can even get started..." 

The warlord leans back in his mechanical chair depressingly. "She's always one step ahead of us."

"But maybe we could trap her? Remember the one time you trapped her in a cage?" Iron Boarder suggested.

"And remember the morning she woke me up with a bed and breakfast?" Huge Gigantacus retorts.

"Well... you got a muffin."

"AND A MUSTACHE SHE DREW ON MY FACE WITH A MARKER!" Huge Gigantacus screamed.

"Oh, that reminds me... I got this in the mail last week." Iron Boarder reached into his pocket and showed him a picture.

It was a picture of when Rose finished the mustache. Huge Gigantacus tore the picture up.

[During the Gem War Arc]:

Huge Gigantacus summoned his personal servant. "Give me an update."

"Homeworld is currently redirecting their attention back on Earth again. After its long silence, Earth is just Homeworld's target again. I don't see why. They've eliminated the rebels."

"Earth isn't our concern. I want Homeworld, not Earth." 

"Well, Homeworld might be easy to invade since they're focusing on planet Earth again." 

"But there's still Rose..." Huge Gigantacus points at the picture again, except this time the darts are gone. 

"Boss, why do you keep a picture of her?"

"Because it's the only thing that fills me with anger and motivation to kill her."

"Oh, I thought you kept it because you thought she looked cute."

Huge Gigantacus sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm still paying you..."

"Because I'm all you got, boss."

"Doesn't change the fact I could fire you at any moment." The little man reminded him.

[After the Homeworld Arc]:

Huge Gigantacus shifts the newspaper he is reading, even though it's bigger than him. 

"Boss, someone stole our mail!"

"I got the mail, you ninny!" Huge Gigantacus yelled as he turned the page.

"Looks like Homeworld and Earth have made an alliance."

"I guess that's bad?" Iron Boarder guessed.

"Yes and no. The good news is that there's less gems on Homeworld than before."

"And the bad news?"

"Homeworld has a protector. It's Steven Universe." Huge Gigantacus points at a picture of Steven in the newspaper. "He managed to beat Yellow and White Diamond in a fist fight."

"That human? But... humans can't fight a Diamond. No one has ever done that before!"

"Well, guess what? He did, it says so in the newspaper."

"But humans are incapable of doing such... oh, sorry, boss."

"You better watch your mouth about humans."  Huge Gigantacus turned the page.

"So can we do it now?"

"No, we can't. With someone as great as Steven around, he'd stomp us harder than Rose ever did."

"So are we just gonna give up?"

"No. Like all humans, they die eventually. Usually by old age. He's like, sixteen, so we'll just wait for at least 70 years."

"But that's such a long time!"

"And we've been waiting for over a hundred years because of that damn flower!" Huge Gigantacus reminds him of his enemy Rose. "As they say, 'patience is a virtue.'"

[After the Rebellion Arc]:

"They failed, sir." Iron Boarder hated to deliver such news to his boss about the new rebellion. 

"Okay." Huge Gigantacus doesn't look or sound angry.

"But the Crystal Gems won... Weren't you rooting for the rebellion to win?" Iron Boarder couldn't tell if Huge Gigantacus was using sarcasm. 

"It doesn't matter if they won or lost. I have my own plan." Huge Gigantacus said as he reached into his pocket and picked up a direct line to Homeworld from his pocket. "I have a few gems in my pocket to get me what I want from Homeworld."

"What is it?" Iron Boarder asked. 

"The Diamonds have a weapon that I could use for our plan. Something that could even battle my most hated enemy, Rose. They call her Moonlight." 

[Before the Moonlight Arc]: 

Huge Gigantacus called the two gems from his communicator. "Have you gotten the bubble from White Diamond's room?"

"Yes, the bubble is in our possession, as we promised." Kunzite said as Jade hides behind her. Kunzite showed Huge Gigantacus the bubble.

"Bring it to me." Huge Gigantacus demanded calmly, almost as if he showed restraint in his tone.

"Yes... bring you the bubble and you help kill Steven Universe and the Diamonds. However, now that we know that it contains, Moonlight, the universe's most powerful gem and Diamond, I wonder what use we have for you."

Huge Gigantacus growled and slammed the side of his fist down on his armrest. "Little girl, I would RECONSIDER your current course!" He warned her, but Kunzite only smiled in response.

"You call me 'little girl?' I will unfurl justice onto Earth and Homeworld with this weapon. The Diamonds and Steven will get what's coming to them. And when that's over, we'll send her after you!" Kunzite pointed at Huge Gigantacus.

Huge Gigantacus only narrowed his eyes. "You're trifling with the wrong one."

"You're not that intimidating." Kunzite playfully remarked.

"I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about the unstable monstrosity in your hands." Huge Gigantacus clarified. He shuts off the video chat with them.

[After the Dominator Arc]:

Iron Boarder hovers through the halls. "Boss! Boss! Boss, where are you?!" He went into Huge Gigantacus' room where he is sleeping on a bed that is way too big for his 'abnormal height.' Huge Gigantacus has a sign that said, 'please do not disturb when napping,' but in this case, he would want to be awake. Iron Boarder tapped his boss on the arm roughly.

Huge Gigantacus stirred before waking up. "You better have a good reason for waking me... or else you're fired." 

"Sir, check out what I found! Come on, get out of bed!" Iron Boarder turned on Huge Gigantacus' chair and lifted his boss out of his giant bed and seated him on his chair, he was still in his pajamas. He leads him to the pilot room. "Look!"

Huge Gigantacus' eyes widened at the panel, because he recognized the coordinates. "Are we at Rose's castle?!" He looked up and only saw asteroids through the window. "Where is it?!"

"It's gone, sir! Someone blew it up!" Iron Boarder exclaimed. 

"Is Rose dead?" Huge Gigantacus asked desperately. "Did you find her carcass?"

"Sadly, no, sir." Iron Boarder said, which caused his boss to groan in disappointment. "But without her castle, she has no home and she probably lost all of her things in the castle. Which means she has been set back by a lot."

Huge Gigantacus smiled, but it was only short-lived. "There's still Steven."

"But he's been demoted from his title as 'Homeworld Savior' thanks to the election." Iron Boarder said.

"Well, now that the day is here, it's time for me to think this over. I will now start brainstorming ways to configure how we're going to do this."

[After the Charlotte Arc]:

Huge Gigantacus has seen it all. Steven is no longer what he used to be. The Diamonds are trying to repair their own planet from the damages. The Crystal Gems are trying to help provide relief to Homeworld. And to top it off, Rose has been nowhere to be seen for a long time.

"Where is she?" Huge Gigantacus said, looking at the picture of Rose. "It's unlike her to just... disappear. She removed my arm, took out my back and humiliated me, and she just left?! After all we've been through?!" He punched the picture with his tiny fist. 

"But isn't that a good thing?" Iron Boarder asked. "If she's gone or dead, then, nothing could stop us now. We've waited long enough, we should send the robots now."

"I just want to know if she's dead or not." Huge Gigantacus stared back at the picture.

"Look, if she's been gone for this long, then she must be dead." Iron Boarder said, trying to convince his boss to start the invasion. "Homeworld's still not on it's feet after what happened and the main threats are currently trying to help Steven recover."

"I suppose you're right." Huge Gigantacus said, taking his eyes off the photo. "Deploy them. I want my hands wrapped about the galaxy's throat NOW!"

Present Time: 

"We lost sector one, sir." Iron Boarder told Huge Gigantacus.

Huge Gigantacus only groaned. "Great... and here, I thought I would get to keep my planets for all of eternity." He moved his chair to look at the status of his other planets. "How did they do it? I sent that robot with a special adapting AI and they still beat it." 

"We have more invaders in other sectors." Iron Boarder reminded him of the matter at hand.

Huge Gigantacus only looked at the other sectors. "I'm going to one of them and stop them myself!"
