Warm light twinkles in a spotted dome of white and black. Metal boots against washed marble floors. “Intergalactic Space Commander Arison, Welcome.” The King of Madrid said, with lip pinched, and narrow eyes. “My Lord, the El Rojo Diamante is in grave danger. An alien ship is in pursuit of the gem; it is the key to a universal planet destroyer! It will be safer in space than on Earth.”

The King nodded, hand extended for Commander Arison. A high-tech facility guarded by an Elite Squad, fingerprint, and eye scanners with floor sensitivity pads. Doors slid upward as white fog verified the users of the glass vault. His finger barely connects with the iridescent amber glow of El Rojo Diamante. Commander Arison’s skin hummed red, as blood seeped through pores before a thunderous, growl and splatter of alien intestines hitting glass. El Rojo Diamante melted into a black cloud of nanobytes floating to overhead vents, digitally controlled.

“Get Space Commander Arison online pronto! My diamond has been stolen! And contact the national guard, an alien attack is imminent!”

A blue hyperspeed glow coats the cockpit where Commander Arison connected El Rojo Diamante with like gems, supercharging a new threat.
