Chapter 7
"We're here…" Gin said as the cheetah came to a stop, allowing Rock to open her eyes as the wind no longer dried her eyes up. Rock looked in front of the metallic cheetah too see a gigantic curved stone wall in front of them. "That wall is about 60 meters tall and a quarter as thick if you were wondering." He said before getting off the cheetah before helping Rock off. "How are going to get over that?" The little Rock asked. "Well we can go through the front gate, though I'm not exactly on everyone's friendly side so that's out of the question. And it's very simple as to how we get past that wall, we run up it." Gin said looking down at Rock in confusion.
"If you're strong enough, you can use your legs to push off walls and such and defy gravity with ease… depending on how strong you are." Gin said with a smile. "But, how will I get across that? I'm too weak to run up walls, I've tried." Rock said looking down at the ground. "Well, I'll carry you on my back, how does that sound?" Gin said as he got on one knee and looked at Rock. "What about her…" Rock asked, looking that The Creature. "She knows this routine; if she gets seen she'll either run or fight them off depending on the situation." Gin said calmly before he lifted Rock up and onto his back. "Hold on…" He said as he put a foot back and dug it into the dirt as he placed his weight on that foot. Rock wrapped her arms and legs around Gin and held on as tightly as she could before Gin shot off like a bullet.
As soon as they were right in front of the wall, Gin leaned forwards before he started running up the wall. He didn't slow down or show any sign of tiring as he ran up the wall. As soon as he neared the edge of the wall, he gave a few strong pushes with his legs before going above the wall from the excessive force he added. He did a few flips in the air before landing on one foot and one knee. He let Rock down and look at the sight in front of them.
"Whoa…" Rock said to herself as she saw the Yellow District almost completely… yellow, even the sky was yellow. But she could see the skies of the other Colors and the walls that separated each Color from one another. It was one big giant circle like a Flower Clock; each color on the clock represented a District on the clock while having each District split evenly in length, though in the center of the circle was a much smaller circle with a giant tower of grey inside that literally towered over the other Colors.
"This… is the land of peace, the land of democracy… in a way… this is the Land of Colors. That giant phallic symbol in the middle is where the Order of the Colors do some stuff." Gin said as he pulled out a smoke and lit it before putting his lighter back. "What kind of stuff do they do?" Rock asked. "I have been wondering that myself, but I have three answers. 1. Politics, if not crappy. 2. Not Politics, short for doing nothing but being lazy and rich assholes. 3. Preventing a war between the Colors and their Districts." He replied. "What do you mean war and what are their districts?" She asked.
"Some of the Colors don't get along with other Colors, an example is Red's and Blue's, and they hate each other A LOT. They hate each other enough that it would start a war between them and possibly start other wars with the Colors. As for their District, that's the place they're supposed to live in, like the Yellow District, we're looking right at it. Though the word District is one of many, you can use Segment, State and such. People can also live in other Districts that aren't their own, though they need the right access or pay the price in Karā." Gin said before removing his cigarette from his lips and breathed out a cloud of smoke. "We'll continue this talk later, first we need to get rid of assignment." He said as he dropped the cigarette onto the ground before stomping it out.
"There he is…" Gin said quietly as he snapped his finger and a large black rifle with a scope appeared out of rush of silver flames. "Now… this'll only hurt for a bit…" He said to himself as he raised the rifle up and looked through the scope to see his Yellow target looking at the sky on the sky deck. Gin placed the crosshairs right in the middle of the guy's head and started to ease his finger onto the trigger finger.
"Umm…" Rock said, grabbing Gin's attention. "What is it?" "Why is he staring at the sky?" "Why? Well… he finds some sort of beauty in it I suppose…" "Beauty?" "Yeah, like when you look at the sky at night, you see all those twinkling little stars. They're peaceful and never fight one another, that's the beauty in them. This guy has never seen the night sky because of that yellow sky always being up there, they even sleep with it as if isn't broad daylight." Gin explained. "Can I um… kill him?" Rock asked. "Have you ever killed before?" "No…" "Do you know how to work a gun or even know how to fight?" "No…" Rock replied. Gin sighed before sitting down and told Rock to sit right in front of him between his legs so he can help her with the rifle.
"Ok, so…" Gin was about to start explaining how to operate the gun but as soon as he handed the rifle to Rock, it went off with a loud bang. "Damn it! I forgot to add the freaking silencer!" Gin shouted. "It wasn't my fault!" Rock protested. "We don't have time to talk about that, right now we have to get out of here as we are way too deep into the Yellow District. We have to leave!" Gin shouted before the rifle disappeared in a burst of silver flames.
"What about the man?" Rock asked. "He's dead, the bullet somehow managed to hit him in the brain, he isn't coming back." Gin said before picking up Rock who managed to get a glimpse of the man on the floor before they jumped off the roof they were on and onto another one, making their way to the wall and outside the Yellow District.
They were almost at the wall, when Yellow Military soldiers landed in front of them. Their legs were replaced with large wheels, and they mainly had a shield and sword.
"Well, if it isn't the Silver Reaper, didn't think you'd get so clumsy with killing, seeing how you always do it… surprisingly." The one in the lead of the group started before seeing Rock who was now behind Gin. "And who is this little tart?" The same soldier asked, squatting down and coming closer to Rock and Gin, eyes on Rock. Gin stopped the man as he threw his broadsword right at his wheels, his katana in his other hand. "Keep that look in your eyes when you look at this girl, and you'll be in a whole lot of trouble." He said as the broadsword somehow came back to him like he was a magnet.
"Sorry Reaper, this is where you stop. We're going to kill you and bring you and that girl to face sweet justice once you come back." "Not going to happen, but if you touch one hair on this little girl, I swear I will end your life right where you stand. Maybe, I'll torture you instead, cut you nice and slow… with long, DEEP cuts every time I press that blade against your skin." Gin said as he motioned for Rock to step back, which she did and stood far away from what was about to happen.
Gin charged at the soldier before getting his swords ready for a swing as he ran closer. Though before he could swing, the solider raised his shield up, which was what Gin wanted as he jumped a little off the ground and ran up the shield before jumping on it and making the soldier loose his strength as he was slammed down to the ground. Gin kicked the shield up into the air before jumping above it and doing a spin with an added kick to it before it was sent straight back to the soldier before it cut off his head with the sharp edge.
Gin looked to see the next one come at him, this time holding his shield up as he went by, making it impossible for Gin to stomp on from above. But as the soldier came by, Gin stood his ground and when the soldier came, he sliced the shield off and then the upper half of his body with the other sword. Gin then threw his katana in the air before picking up his enemy's sword and throwing it at a soldier in the group, landing right in his head.
Gin then grabbed his katana as it came back down before catching it and started running. This time he was running right towards a soldier without a shield. Right as they got near to each other, Gin did a fake out and made the soldier block, that's when Gin did a roll using his opponents shoulder to get past him. Although his enemy didn't have time to think as Gin rammed his broadsword in through his back. Gin then turned away from his newly killed enemy to meet another, this time he was defending as his broadsword was stuck in the body he just killed.
Gin didn't notice that another soldier snuck up behind him until he felt a sharp pain pierce through his back and then his chest. He looked down and saw one of the soldier's swords sticking through him right before he was stabbed from all around by the remaining soldiers.
"Gah… ah…" Gin managed to spew out before he coughed up a silver blood. He let go of his sword before he fell to his knees where everyone backed up. "Your done…" The soldier he was defending from said with a smirk. "That's… what you…" Gin didn't say the rest as he fell onto his chest and didn't move. "Well, he isn't coming back for a while, so we might as well take care of the girl too… WHAT THE?!" The same soldier said as he felt his ankle be grabbed. He looked down and saw Gin grabbing it.
"I told you NOT to TOUCH her." Gin said as he got up without a simple problem, even though he had the swords still stuck in him. '"H-how are you alive?!" The soldier said, backing away. "I thought you already knew…" Gin started, as he pulled the blades out, "I'm the Silver Reaper, and Reapers don't get killed, they're the ones killing instead." He said as he removed the last blade before his eyes suddenly turned blue and the swirl like pupils turned black and cat like, though with a horizontal slit than vertical.
Gin took a deep breath before he picked up his swords and charged at them; stabbing through the first one he came to and then threw him to another who was trying to attack through his own dead team member. Gin then blocked a chop from another soldier, though Gin kicked him in the balls before cutting his head off. He then waited for the next soldier charging at him before he straight up ruined his moment by kicking him in the stomach due to Gin's long legs. He then split his head in half with one swing.
Gin looked at the rest of the group before they all turned down their chance to die and ran instead. Gin breathed out before his eyes returned to normal and his swords disappeared in their proper flames. "Why did they run?" Rock asked, walking towards Gin. "I'm known as the Silver Reaper, when I kill, it's final for those who I've killed." Gin said before he started walking. "So, when you kill, they don't resurrect like you should?" Rock asked. "Yeah, they feel my blade; they feel death for the final time." "You were stabbed with several blades, you shouldn't even be able to walk considering you're um…" Rock started before going quiet. "Because I'm what? Is this because I'm a Grey?" Gin said turning around to face Rock. "I shouldn't have said that…" "No, it's alright. I may be a Grey to you, but I prefer to be own color that doesn't exist." He said before picking up Rock before making a jump onto the last roof before the wall.
Gin set Rock down and put two fingers in his mouth before giving a loud whistle. In a matter of seconds, a spider looking like machine much like the Yellow's use crawled up from the outside of the wall and waited for Gin and Rock who jumped onto its back before it took off on its own away from the Land of Colors and back to Gin's home.
