WHY GREEN, WHY EARTH, WHY......?
(Assistance provided by SERVE-552)
Deep within the alien-green biomechanical walls of Green HQ, the Green Commander sat silently upon his living throne.
Around him, thick emerald tendrils pulsed rhythmically through the walls like the heartbeat of a living world. His converts were scattered across Earth, searching relentlessly for the Black Diamond.
His thoughts were elsewhere.
In the stillness of his chamber, he thought...
His mind drifted back to the Green Planet.
A world of breathtaking beauty beneath skies painted with endless shades of emerald and sapphire. Towering crystal forests shimmered in the sunlight while vast fields of vibrant flowers stretched to the horizon. It had been a peaceful age. Back when the planet was known as Viridia.
Viridians never developed vast armies or competing nations. The planet itself was alive. forest, ocean, and mountain connected via an immense biological consciousness called the Emerald Nexus.
Viridians were individuals connected by the Nexus, sharing thoughts, memories, and emotions while retaining their own identities.
An age when he had been Emperor.
His strength had flowed from the sacred Green Crystal, the heart of his civilization. With its power he had ruled fairly, protecting every tribe beneath his banner with wisdom and justice.
Leaders and dignitaries from every corner of the planet had assembled beneath the Crystal Palace.
That was when he first saw him.
Standing across the grand hall...
The crowned Prince of the Northern Green Tribe.
Across the crowded room, their eyes met.
The Commander could still remember the feeling.
He knew he had to meet him.
The memories continued to flood back.
The afternoons spent lying amongst endless fields of purple flowers, talking for hours about dreams, duty, and the future.
The day Jayden burst into laughter before suddenly shoving him into the crystal-clear waters of Greenwood Lake. The Commander had surfaced soaked and speechless while Jayden laughed so hard he nearly fell in after him.
It had been one of the happiest days of his life.
Then came the day they spoke two simple words.
Before thousands of cheering citizens beneath towering emerald crystal spires, they pledged themselves to one another.
As the celebrations echoed across the capital, the Commander gazed into Jayden's brilliant green eyes, knowing they would face whatever the future held together.
But fate had other plans.
The invasion came without warning.
The skies darkened with enemy ships.
Panic swept across the Green Planet as families fled for their lives.
The Commander remembered the final moments with painful clarity.
Jayden had forced him into an escape pod, placing the sacred Green Crystal into his hands.
"You have to live," Jayden whispered, tears streaming down his face.
The Commander pounded against the sealed barrier.
"No! I'm not leaving without you!"
Their eyes remained locked together as the engines ignited.
The pod launched into space.
Helplessly, he watched through the viewport as Jayden grew smaller and smaller.
The Green Planet was consumed.
Everything he had ever known...
The Emperor died that day.
What remained was something else.
The green crystal fueled by his grief, began to shift.
All the darkness poured forth and changed the emperor into a twisted version of himself.
He would find a new world.
He would take it, make it in his image.
He would rebuild the Green Empire.
He would bring Jayden back.
The Green Commander slowly opened his eyes.
For just a heartbeat, sorrow crossed his face.
A cold smile spread beneath his sinister mask.
"We are so close..." he whispered.
"Earth will become the birthplace of the new Green Empire."
He rose from his living throne as emerald tendrils curled eagerly around his feet.
His converts would return soon.
The key to restoring everything he had lost.
