The Gem Reaper

Lost

     Everyone was rushing, gems were being trampled as they all scurried to their ships. An order was given for all of the Homeworld gems still on earth to retreat. Zircon held on to Chrysoberyl's hand, shoving and pushing through the crowd in an attempt to get them both safely to a ship. 

    The chaos was amplified as rebel solider's rushed toward the crowds poofing whichever gems they could as they all retreated. A rebel managed to grab Chry and a few other gem's surrounding the two. They both looked into each other's eyes as everything went slow. Time seemed to stop as Zircon felt Chry's wrist slipping from her grasp. The helpless and frighten looked on Chry's face now burned into her mind. The two were separated as Zircon was pushed into the crowd and Chry was pulled back in an attempt to be poofed. 

  The two continued to stare at each other nether believing what was happening, Zircon was nearing the ship as other gems pushed her onto it.  "Chrysoberyl!" Zircon called out as she was entering the ship, not by her own accord. The doors began to shut as Zircon saw Chrysoberyl being poofed, her mouth fell open as she saw the rebel weapon tear through Chry's hand before reaching her body. A seafoam green cloud appeared where Chrysoberyl once was, her star-shaped gem falling to the floor, being covered in dirt as the rebel then went after more fleeing gems.

   "Move!" Zircon tried to push past the crowd only to be stopped by the topaz gems protecting the doors, Zircon was being held by a topaz as she caught one last glimpse of Chrysoberyl's gem. It was nearly covered by dirt by the time the door shut completely and the ship flew off. 

    Zircon's eyes began to fill with tears, she was placed down by the topaz guard and just stood. She stayed still, the moments running through her head a thousand times over. Zircon then summoned her weapon as she was about to poof the topaz who held her back from saying her beloved. A spear hit her hand and caused her to drop her weapon.

   "Zircon." A smooth and commanding voice called out. Zircon turned her eyes raging fire as she settled them on a fellow reaper. Nicky, also known as White Gold, the crowd parted as Nicky walked toward her. "What were you doing?" She questioned, irritation in her voice. 

  "I have to go back!" Zircon gritted her teeth, her fist clenched. "I need to go back! Chrysoberyl is still there!" 

"We can't," Nicky said coolly, her face emotionless as she broke this news to Zircon. They apparently not receiving the second part of the transmission.

"I have to damn it! Chrysoberyl is still ther-" 

"ZIRCON! We can not go back!" Nicky argued back, her tone stern and held much irritation. "The diamonds are issuing an attack... " 'this can't be happening' "That will corrupt all gems..." 'what...' "It's too late now" 'Chrysoberyl...' 

    Zircon's whole body was trembling as her knees then buckled and she fell to the ground. Her mouth was agape as she was now on her knees, looking up seeing earth fade from sight. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the ceiling. "Chrysoberyl... I lost her..."
