Chrysolite

The Colosseum incident Pt3

"What do you mean 'Nothing?" Said a figure covered in shadow, they stared down to a nervous looking Nephrite scout fleeter, it was as clear as day that she was uncomfortable. "Do you mean to say that the head of intelligence and the ground force commander are both missing, and you have nothing to report?" She spoke again, the green hue from her pupils shining.

The Nephrite sort of froze in that moment, unsure of how to best respond to her, Emerald tapped the armrest of her seat with her index finger impatiently, "Captain I- We-" stummered the Nephrite, nervously fondling her hands behind her back as she tried to unjumble her words, "We just can't find anything, but the hole-"A loud, -and obviously irritated- voice trumptly boomed over hers,

"Oh yes. The giant gaping hole that appeared out of wonderful nowhere, would you like to relay any other obvious news?!" Erupted the Captain, she was sat on a green throne-like chair similar to those used in Chrysolites laboratory, with pads and buttons with flashing lights on the armrests. The gem on her stomach glowed brighter as her anger grew by the minute,

"Tell me something Nephrite, you can't do, what exactly? Follow the simplest orders? Obey the gem you were made to SERVE!?" the Nephrite's fear only grew as she struggled still to form any words.

"But I-I'm... Forgive me!" The Nephrite scout threw her head down, trying to hide the shameful look on her face from her fleet master.

The fleet master rose from her seat and stepped out into the light, Nephrite, glancing up at her leader who was now no longer covered in darkness, Emerald 1A-1A. The Nephrite could hear her strong strides as she slowly made her way towards her. The Nephrite stood at attention once again, her back straight doing the Diamond salute while keeping her cyclops-like eye forward- Just the way Emerald likes it. The action had some positive effect, Emeralds pupils shine became less intense, unfortunately this did not stop the caped fleet master from quickly grabbing the Nephrite's hair by her bun, and yanking it back to stare down at her. The Nephrite reflexively pulled at the hand grasping her hair, but it was as if her hand was made of steel.

The Emerald's lips stretched into a smile, a rare sight, if only it were pure.

"Oh Nephrite. You wish for forgiveness, do you?" Said Emerald in a creepily friendly tone. The Nephrite opened her mouth but she was too shaken from the sudden action, and hesitated. She did not respond quick enough as the smile quickly faded from Emerald, she suddenly raised Nephrite off the ground while still holding her hair by the bun, Nephrite yelped in pain, gripping Emeralds wrist, she looked straight at Emerald who was now eye level with her,

"My Emerald- It hurts-!" She kicked her legs but she did not dare hit Emerald.

"It does, doesn't it?" Emerald smiled again, it was wide and sadistic like she was entertained by her pain. Her smile grew as she saw a tear flow down Nephrite's cheek,

"Hm. And here I thought Soldiers didn't cry?" Emerald wiped the tear from Nephrite's cheek, a false sense of reassurance as she then abruptly dropped her onto the tiled floor. 

"Ouch-!" Nephrite grunted as she quickly undid her bun and rubbed her stinging head. Emerald peered down at her, huffing before turning, tink! tink! tink! from Emeralds boots filled the room as she strode to peer out of her airships window to glare at another flying aircraft very similar to her own.

"You will find the missing Uniques. I will be the one to find them...I will be recognised again. I must." Emerald said while sneering at the ship as she recognised it's pilot, another Emerald. The Nephrite, still caressing her head stared confusedly at her fleet master as she was monologging to herself.

"Take this chance to return to your air vehicle Nephrite, I tend to make adjustments to hastily made decisions often." Stated Emerald, her hands held together behind her back. Nephrite quickly stumbled up and swiftly moved towards the exit. Emerald piped,
