"Ahh...I wonder how this happened to fast....seems like they were all but happy to capture me." A man on his knees was being dragged by two individuals in military-style uniforms with a space themed look, the glowing material fitting tightly against their bodies.
They continued to drag the man who was contrastingly dressed in nothing but a tight grey shirt and damaged black suit pants, until they reached a dark clearing with one spot of light. They dropped him in the light before backing away into the darkness that surrounded the area. A voice called out quite fiercely,
“You are accused of killing millions, and even had the bravery to admit it openly, without fear! General Avrin Sygin you are accused with crimes against humanity, so severe I’m surprised that you were not killed by the guards on the way here." Avrin, the man on the ground, tried to regain his stance. He was covered with bloodied bruises that accompanied an unkempt and unshaven look, as if he had been in prison for decades with no shower. After a moment, he lifted his head and spoke.
“I never knew you had a sense of humor, Judge Dere. Then again, I never knew you and the others would betray me so easily. Just for a position of power"
"Quiet mongrel!" Dere spoke fiercely, before another voice spoke out in the room of void and darkness.
"Avrin, due to the evidence of murdering so many innocent lives, as well as admitting to it, and that no one has come to your defense as this trial is 100% certain of your guilt, we will humor you. Do you have anything to say before we announce the verdict and punishment?" It was a female voice that spoke out, Avrin noted.

Usually in a trial, there wouldn’t be a punishment stated before announcing the verdict, but as she said, it was certain that he was guilty. Avrin took a deep breath and released it in such a way that it appeared he was glad to let the carbon dioxide out – as if he took pleasure in poisoning the air.
"You are all a gutless bunch. Millions died so that billions could live! Each individual that died was infected with the Ziox Virus and those who weren’t would have been. I did what I must, so that humanity could live, and here I am in ion shackles in front of a court accusing me of genocide for saving humanity!" He spoke while spreading his arms, the shackles making an electric sound at the pressure.
"Enough!" Dere spoke loudly and the room shook slightly, but this was not due to his presence, it was due to the sound of the voice coming from the speakers that were surely hidden around the dark room. "That being said...those lives could have been saved. A cure was on the way."
Avrin grunted quietly, then spoke. "Not quick enough to save billions more from being infected. Enough of this stupid bullshit – get on with the verdict! Your sense of justice to save millions at the cost of billions is irritating." Avrin snarled angrily.
"Very well." The unnamed female voice spoke again. “For the genocide of 87 million lives; women, children, and men both infected and not infected with virus 877.43, also known as Ziox," At this point Dere spoke alongside the female’s voice, almost perfectly in sync "We find former Earth alliance General Avrin Sygin....Guilty."
Their words spoke firmly and clear and Avrin could have sworn he heard cheers from outside the room. He wasn’t sure where he was, as this facility was not known to him. Possibly one of the moon prisons. He was sure no one wanted him near earth after what had happened.

“Obviously, considering the verdict was predictable and you even found me guilty before I came into this room." He chuckled to himself as he spoke. This seemed to annoy the two unseen judges as they continued, Dere speaking first.
"For being guilty of the genocide of 87 million lives." Dere clarified the amount again, as if to irritate Avrin. He stopped before the unnamed female joined in, then they both continued in sync. "We sentence Former Earth alliance general Avrin Sygin to death by de-particlization.”
Avrin was more annoyed at the fact they kept saying his former title, instead of the fact that he was about to receive the harshest death penalty in existence, a method reserved only for the worst of the worst, not even criminals who killed hundreds were subjected to such a high level of painful death.
"Very well," Avrin spoke quietly. "So, when’s the big day?" He spoke as if making a joke out of it, but the faint smile that had appeared on his face turned to one of shock as Dere chuckled and gave him the answer:
"Right now."
The room began to brighten up, but not before the walls began to sound as if they were shifting, and a large machine-like sound was heard, as if something was charging up. This made Avrin slightly scared, but he already knew he was to accept his fate. It wasn’t as if he felt sorry for killing so many people, but it was too late to save them at the cost of more lives.
The room was now lit up fairly well, its interior consisted blue walls and white carbon infused steel specially coated with special particles for resistance against explosions and lasers alike. A perfect execution room. It also had an array of patterns, with bumps and curves that had holes in them.
From these holes, a beam of light fired that began to bounce around the room, purposefully missing the middle where Avrin was standing by a narrow margin. "Well, at least I’ll be going in a fancy way." He spoke as he began to laugh quietly, the beam forming a cocoon with a height of 8 meters and a width of 5, as it circled the middle, it began to slowly get smaller.
Avrin began to chuckle quietly, but steadily grew louder as the cocoon of energy grew closer "Hahaha......HahaHahaha...." This was quite a worrying sight, if the people were watching from inside, they would indeed gaze with nervousness and fear at this insane man’s laughter. The beam cocoon was now only a meter away and a half a meter tall, as he began to laugh while standing firmly, as if ready to take it.
"HAHAHAHAHA...HAAAAA...at least I won’t be seeing any of you bastards again! HA!" At that point in time, the cocoon, almost as if it were a predator pouncing on its prey, closed in an instant, encasing him in the energy and perfectly keeping his form.
It was as if he was a sculpture carved from light. That being said this so called sculpture of light began to disintegrate into smaller specks of light, as if particles, hence the name de-particlization. The room grew dark as every speck vanished and the machine turned off.
The space is empty and void of anything that could represent something no feeling but pain no sight no hearing not even able to think properly one could only be in misery.
"It hurts! It really hurts...it hurts so fucking much!! Argh! M-make it stop!” he spoke in a demanding tone, to which a voice replied.
"Well, I guess I can do that, but you owe me something in return."
"An...any...anything..." Avrin replied, as he couldn’t see anything or feel anything but pain.
