The Crystalized Heart

Chapter 7: Traitor

After being caught and cornered by General Chap and his soldiers, Zirconia and Sebastian are to questioned by their actions and to be punished from their treacherous ways. 'Well, well, well, what do we have here?' Chap stated, he looked at Zirconia and Sebastian, 'An Alien from another planet who's working with the Japanese Government and a fellow Commander who's betrayed his general, what a coincidence? They look like they fell in love with each other, Shame on you Commander Ford!' Zirconia was confused and asked Sebastian, 'Who is he referring to?' Sebastian expressed a worried and stated, 'I'm commander Ford, I'm sorry' she faced at Sebastian and asked, 'Do you work for them? I mean you're the commander, right?' Sebastian replied saying, 'Yes, but not anymore,' he looked directly at Chap and Zirconia was shocked when a soldier suddenly rushed to her and zapped her with the destabilizer on the back, the soldier quickly grabbed her gem when Zirconia poofed her physical form. Sebastian was shocked he cried, 'No!' he punched the soldier and grabbed his gun retrieving Zirconia's gem, but at the same time making a hostage out of the soldier his grabbed. He aims the gun on the soldiers head and the other soldiers steadily points their gun to Sebastian, this made General Chap ask, 'Oh Commander Ford, why are you doing this? Don't you realize this is an act of treason,' Sebastian replied, 'Yes, but you don't know her, you never knew anything Chap, all you did was hide things from the Government, you've questioned me as a person and that makes you more less than what you've been to me, I-I'm sorry but this isn't right,' 'Sebastian, you know more than this than being a dog to Government, stop acting like you know more than me, I'm still your General and I order you to surrender or face the consequence,' Chap declared. The face off was very intense when suddenly the look on Sebastian's face from being angry turned to being frustrated, he raised his gun and let go of the soldier, they quickly grabbed Zirconia's gem and brought Sebastian to the Head Quarters. As soon as they went back to HQ, the two we're left to talk in the office of Chaps, they discussed the matter regarding Zirconia's purpose in Sebastian, Chap wondered if he was just luring Zirconia but Sebastian really loved Zirconia more than anything. Meanwhile back in the facility, Zirconia has reformed to her Physical form and has now been imprisoned once again, not until her commander came with a handship hovering on the mountains, they attacked the facility and destroyed it. Zirconia was rescued by her commander but that wasn't the end of it.

Back on HQ, as the two were discussing they were interrupted by a soldier who was yelling, 'The Japanese are here!' The two quickly rushed outside to see a massive structure made of metal hovering over their base, they can only see the structure with their large spotlights shining through the dark night. 'What is this? A surprise a attack? Why aren't they attacking yet?' Chap exclaimed, a soldier called Chap by the transceiver saying, 'General, permission to shoot the aircraft,' in that moment Sebastian realized it was maybe Zirconia's fleet ship he cried 'N-no!' but it was too late, Chap responded with a 'Permission granted, shoot them down.'

As they were flashing their lights on this hovering aircraft, they began shooting it with their turrets, the aircraft was not damaged but it moved to the center of the HQ where it suddenly stopped and flew a little high up when they we're shocked to realize that it was preparing to land directly on the ground. Soldiers quickly evacuated when this happened. The center blew up, crushing tents and vehicles that were left at the sight. They realized the aircraft was shaped like a hand everyone on the HQ was looking at the structure, suddenly a giant silver ball came out of the hand it, it opened and revealed an army of ladies which we're wearing armors and each one had a gem on their body parts, but one stood it was the lady that was tall and green wearing a helmet that was large and wielding a hammer, it was Emerald, Zirconia's commander.

As soon as this army was revealed Emerald pointed his hand across the HQ signifying it was an attack. The soldiers began shooting down each gem one by one, which poofed some but this gems were able to slay soldiers with their equipments, some even fused to gain more size and kill more people. The two quickly ran to the walls in an intent to escape the attack, but Zirconia appeared out of nowhere he faced Chap and Sebastian.

'Zirconia, what's happening why are they attacking our men?' Sebastian asked, 'My commander was oppressed by the shootings your people done to our ship that is why she asked them to retaliate, another is the imprisonment they've done to me, but Sebastian I can order them to stop if you order your people to stop attacking us,' Zirconia persuaded Sebastian, 'Wait! Sebastian! Think of what we can do if we destroy them! Their equipments their technologies, think of it soldier we can fight back, think of your career! She's an alien goddamit!' Chap persuaded Sebastian, the pressure was intensifying the fight between the two when he made a decision saying, 'Zirconia, I love you, but I'm sorry, this is for humanity' Zirconia was shocked by Sebastian's statement and suddenly the soldiers used both turrets against their commander which poofed Emerald losing her physical form. The fleet had no choice but to flee the warzone and escape with the parts of the ship, the others flew with Zirconia and a handful of gems were left to be killed by soldiers. Zirconia felt betrayed, in the ship she thought to herself, 'I'll come back to this planet and take everything it has took from me and my fleet.'
