The Gem Reaper

War

    There was so much smoke, the gems were nearly where black as obsidian. Screaming could be heard from every direction, the sound of gems shattering or poofing was overwhelming. Zircon was sent onto the ground to protect a Chrysoberyl.

    The Gem rebellion had gone on long enough in the eyes of the diamonds. Yellow had proposed using the Earth as a  harvesting source for a huge Geo weapon named the Cluster. Upon a little bit of research Yellow diamond personally called for the first Chrysoberyl that studied earth. Blue then sent Zircon to guard the Chrysoberyl again. Zircon was very distant again even when Chrysoberyl would try to initiate a conversation. Their relationship was even colder than their first interactions. 

   "Zircon..." Chrysoberyl spoke, as she ran though her calculations on the secret lab under the primary kindergarten. Her new visar also calculated other needs for the cluster as the commotion above caused small rocks to fall from the ceiling. "Why are you acting different? Before... Before all this you weren't so quite... What happened?"

   "..." Ziron stood still, sighing as she walked behind Chrysoberyl stopping about a foot away from her. "It's because of you.." Zircon sighed as she attempted to wrap her arms around Chry, deciding against it and letting her hands drop to her sides "Ever since you left, ever since you gave me that stone... I can't get you out of my head... This shouldn't happen to me. It shouldn't. Im a Reaper... The original Reaper. I shatter gems, I end their existence...I shouldn't be wanting another to enhance mine.." Chrysoberyl was caught off guard, stopping and shutting down her tech as Zircon laid her heart out. "I can not do that.  It goes against our rules. It goes against my existence..." Chrysoberyl now facing Zircon, looked into her eyes. Seeing the confliction raging inside of the other gem. "What science crap did you do, why won't you get out of my head.." Zircon then looked down, gritting her teeth.

Chrysoberyl stood there, slowly reaching to caress Zircon's cheek.

 "Just get out!" she yelled, Chrysoberyl quickly retracted her hand. 

"Zircon!" Chrysoberyl hit her shoulder, Zircon then pinned her against the wall of the lab. She looked down to Chry, her eyes raging with conflicting emotions. Chrysoberyl's breath hitched as she turned her head to the side. 

 Zircon laid her head in the crook of her neck, taking in a deep breath inhaling her scent. "Do not hit me." She said softly, her lips grazing over her skin causing  Chrysoberyl shuttered "I'm sorry..." She pulled away, letting Chrysoberyl go.  "I am going outside. Hurry up.." She spoke quietly, rushing outside.

Chrysoberyl watched as she exited the room, her face bright red. "Zircon..." She muttered. "She's fighting her own war... I wonder..." Chrysoberyl thought for a bit, then hurried to input all the information needed. She scurried outside and saw Zircon nearby in a battle with a rebel soldier. 

Zircon distracted, she did not see, the other soldier sneaking up on Chrysoberyl.
