They Knew Too Much

I Said I'd Never Go

((Pictured above is Mossy Green Agate, in case anyone was curious X'D))

They both froze in their tracks, eyes wide and completely caught off guard. Yellow's hand slowly found Blue's and she laced their fingers together in an attempt to comfort herself. Maybe also Blue...but mostly herself.

"WELL?!" The agate demanded, summoning a large metal baton, tipped with destabilizer, from her gem and taking a step towards them. "Are you two going to explain yourselves or-!" She suddenly paused, realized who exactly she was yelling at. "Well, if it isn't the little..." Her upper lip curled as she gestured with her weapon, eyeing them over.

"...rebel."

"She is not!" Yellow suddenly piped up, grabbing onto Blue, who was currently trying to slowly get onto the ship while Mossy Green was talking, with Yellow in tow. But suddenly, Yellow pulled her back, her grip tight on her arm. Her ego was getting in the way now..

"I am not defending a rebel, and I will prove it."

"Is that what you're doing? Defending an innocent gem who is trying to take you on a stolen ship?"

"Yellow..."

"This is private court dealings! You have no permission to be interfering!" Yellow took a small step back as the agate got closer until she was nearly nose to nose with the attorney gem. 

"You don't have permission to be here. I would have been notified." She said in a dangerously low voice. "I have worked with Jaspers for most of my existence. I know a lie, when I hear one."

Before either of the Zircons could move, she swung her baton, cutting clear across Blue's body, to which Yellow promptly panicked and watched as the gem cried out in pain and poofed in a cloud of blue dust. 

"I wonder what the Diamond's will say once I return two rouge gems to them! Perhaps then I'll finally be redeemed!" 

Yellow slowly reached down to pick up Blue's gem. Perhaps they could run. They could still make it...

"Ah! Not so fast!" Mossy Green snarled and jabbed at Yellow, who scrambled to one side, forced to leave Blue's gem where it lay.

"You're only making yourself look worse, Zircon! I did admire you for a time, what happened to that gem?"

Yellow stood, looking at the Agate with wide eyes. What happened to that gem? That dignified, high gem who could craft a rebuttal to Blue's defense in a matter of seconds? That was it. Her eyes trailed to Blue's discarded gem. It all traced back to her. 

Filled with a sudden burst of adrenaline, she ran forward and tried to grab the baton from Mossy Green, who seemed startled at the sudden aggression. 

"I have my reasons." Yellow mumbled, taking a step forward, pushing her back, another step, they were almost against the wall now. 

"You'll be shattered for this! The both of you!"

"So be it. You can't have a prosecution without a defense."

Mossy Green blinked, before suddenly jerking to one side. Her eons of working with Jaspers trained her to defend herself against much larger than a scrawny lawyer. With a dark glare, she thrust the tip of her baton into Yellow's form, making her own form dissipate.

"You poor...poor things...I shiver to think what the Diamond's will do to you..."

                                                                              *   *   * 

She had to reform, faster, come on, faster, she had to! Yellow's gem quivered on the ground before rising up, letting her form stretch from it. Her hair was a bit askew and messy, her monocle out of place, but none of that mattered.

She was back in the room her and Blue had previously been conversing in. But with one difference. Blue wasn't there.

She looked around, not even seeing her gem. She was just....gone.

"Blue..." Opening the door to the hall that lead to the courtroom, there were voices. Two loud booming voices, and a high pitched, shaking one that followed it. The trial. They were having it right now. 

She had to stop it.

So Yellow took off down the hall, her footsteps clicking and echoing against the walls. She could see the door.

Throwing it open, she ran into the courtroom.

"I OBJECT."
