## Synopsis

Neo Alliance hatches a plan to free Diamond City after their failure from Tamia. However, it's lightly defended. What's the reason of the Legion of Horus and how Neo Alliance is going to take back Diamond City.

## Plot

Neo Alliance are fighting the Legion of Horus in the Crossroads of Gems alongside the Quartz Army against the DarkArmoras and some rogue Crystalians. They were forced to retreat after being outnumbered.

Both Neo Alliance and the Quartz Army returns to Crystalia. Cross reports that the enemy forces in Diamond City have lessened according to Red Baron's report while Silver Quartz, the captain of the Quartz Army, reports to Tourmaline Painite about the current situation that a splinter group of Crystalians from Emerald City have allied with the Legion of Horus. Tourmaline was shocked that splinter groups have allied with the Legion of Horus among the people.

Red Baron returns to Crystalia and shows another report. The Emerald Army have engaged the enemy but retreated under Emera Sutari. Emera arrives to Crystalia, saying despite the splinter group among the Emeralds, she won't have her own people kill each other and begged Neo Alliance to do the job instead. Cross has an idea but he needs more help.

Back at Diamond City, the DarkArmoras are watching the city while enslaving the citizens. Two DarkArmoras are complaining about the current situations and morale within the Legion. They looked up to the sky, only to be bombed by Red Baron, alerting the enemy. Red Baron defeats the Armora Wraiths in the sky, however, he gets shot down by unknown enemies revealed to be another splinter group involving the Pearls. While the enemy cheers, but they get attacked by Neo Alliance, Quartz Army, Ruby Army and the Sapphire Army. While Red Baron escapes his crashed plane, the DarkArmoras and the rogue Crystalians attempted to kill him but interfered by Silver Squad.

The DarkArmoras attempted to uses the Diamonds as hostages but they disappeared. They have been rescued by Eyes while they were shooting at Red Baron earlier. The surviving splinter groups members left Diamond City abandoning the DarkArmoras. But they are captured by Shui Jing and the Amethyst Army. They grabbed the three hooded figures revealing to be leading the splinter groups, Midori Emmi, Kuro no Shinju and Haku no Shinju. The Pearls leader, Shin no Shinju was sad to see his children joined the Legion of Horus. Haku explained that the Legion of Horus is winning and rising so they think it's best to join an unbeatable enemy to survive. Shin decided to have his sons arrested and have his other children step up.

Back at Crystalia, the Crystalians are reorganizing the peace in the World of Crystal while rebuilding Diamond City. Bones the IX arrives to Crystalia, saying that Tourmaline is requested to head to the World Council Building to meet the World Council. Cross stated that he could have contacted her instead of coming here. Bones said that communication in Neo World has been in static lately and Neo Alliance is needed to return under Aliya's orders.
