"Hey! Watch it!" I said as four Federation officers ushered me, Scarlett, Clieo, and Spock into the meeting room in a federation HQ
Inside was the council.
Admiral Thompson, Admiral VanHousen, and Admiral Daren
"What the hell was that for?" Scarlett asked
Admiral Thompson sighed "I'm afraid you four have been acused for something terrible."
The four of us frowned
"I'm very sure it wasnt me this time." Scarlett said
"Me too." Clieo said
"And what is that, Sir?" Spock asked
"This," Admiral Daren said pressing a button
A hologram image showed in the middle of the room
It was an Earth Kryptonide crystal bank.
"What?" I asked "There's nothing-"
Then a fiery explosion suddenly burst
The building glass shattered, and a fire started inside
Five figures came out, in their hands were bags full of crystals.
Scarlett gasped. And so did I
You know why? Because they were us
Me, Spock, Clieo, and Scarlett
Then i saw the fifth person. It was Khan
"Khan?" Scarlett asked
"How is this possible?" Spock asked
"This can't be us." I said
"According to the video, it is." Daren said
"You three have been charged for the theft of Kryptonide crystals." VanHousen said
"What?" Scarlett said "That can't be us! We werent even there!"
"I'm sorry." Daren said "But without proper evidence that it was not you three, you are sentenced to Kronos prison."
Then VanHousen turned to Thompson "You are in chanrge of security. Do it."
Admiral Thompson wouldn't meet Scarlett's eyes
"No." He finally said
They all frowned at him "No?"
"I can't do it." He said, looking at Scarlett "I'd rather be voted off by the council than to banish my neice."
Scarlett did the most surprising thing i thought she would do. She smiled. But it wasn't a happy smile, it was a cold smile
"Don't worry, Uncle." She said "You dont have to do anything like that."
He frowned "Why?"
She gave her special cold smile that even gave me shivers "Because you can't."
Then a pool of darkness appeared at our feet and we dissapeared
