The Rainbow Rebellion (Rebellion AU!RQ)

[Chapter One] • The Walk •

Finally I got the first chapter writen. This, surprisingly, was difficult to write because I had a lot of ideas but only a few would actually work.

Let's goooo

~ Sabre's PoV ~ 

I sigh as I walk through the kingdom streets. Life has just been chaos. The rules and division among the people have been more restrictive and intense, thanks to King Void's announcement yesterday. Now, the chromatic Steves are unable to leave their sector from 8 pm to 10 am under no circumstance. Anyone caught outside of the sectors during that time will be arrested and punished.

A rebellion has risen due to this, and offers anyone who wants change a spot. I don't like how the kingdom is run, but I don't want to risk getting in trouble or getting my friends in trouble. Plus, I don't agree with the rebellions tactics and solutions. They believe that violence is the answer, and will do anything to get what they want.

I smile when I see one of my friends, Aeson, a Green Steve healer. His forest green hair gets ruffled by the slight breeze that runs through the kingdom. His mint green shirt ruffles in the wind, the only thing from keeping it from blowing upwards slightly is the pine coloured sweater that is wrapped around his waist. He also wears slightly ripped sage green jeans. 

"Hey Aeson!" I call out. Aeson turns to me.

"Oh, hey Sabre!" He says back as I jog up to him. 

"How's it going?" 

"Good, how about you"

"Good, I was just going to a walk."

"I was just about to go for a walk to get some materials from the Yellow Sector, want to join me?" Aeson offers. I nod, and we start to walk to the Yellow Sector. 

~~~

Aeson told me to wait on a bench while he goes in and out of stores to get the materials he needed. I grab my book out of my bag and I start to read. Reading has been a hobby of mine, as it allows me to escape this dreaded world.

As I read, I hear noises from an alleyway. It sounds like.. fighting. I use my bookmark to save my page, and I put my book back in my bag. I stand up and I slowly and quietly walk into the alleyway. I did not expect to see what I see.

A Darkness guard and an Orange Steve fighting. The Orange Steve seem to be... Rebels. And the Darkness is just a Darkness guard.

I go to leave, not wanting to get caught up in this mess, but the Darkness guard sees me. It grabs my wrist and brings me to it, holding its sword to my throat.

"Now tell me where your main base is, or I'll kill this man," the Darkness guard growls.

"Let him go! He's not apart of this!" The Orange rebel says.

"If he's not a rebel, then he's still a civilian. And aren't the people of the kingdom the people who you're trying to keep 'safe'?" The Darkness guard taunts.

Just as the Orange Steve opens his mouth to say something, an arrow is shot at the Darkness guards hand, allowing me to be free from it's grasp.

I run from the Darkness, hiding in a corner. The Orange rebel attacks. The shooter shows themself and reveals that they're a rebel who's a Red Steve. Why must I get caught up in rebel work?

The Red and Orange rebels gang up on the Darkness guard, easily beating it. The guard runs, bruised and injured.

The Red and Orange rebels smile at eachother, then turn to me. Their smiles fade when they see my frightened expression.

"Are you okay?" The Red one asks.

I silently nod my head 'yes'.

"Sorry that you got caught in this. We didn't expect anyone to wander over here," the Orange one apologizes, scratching the nape of his neck.

I keep my distance from them, not wanting to get mixed up with them if more authorities come over here or other civilians. I've always feared what the rebels would do, and I've feared what King Void will do to end the rebels.

That's when we hear more Darkness guards on their way. 

The Orange and Red rebels look at each other, and then me. 

"You need to come with us," the Red one says. 

"Wh- no! Why would I?" I ask. 

"Because now King Void will think you are associated with us and will hunt you down. If you want to handle that on your own, then so be it, but you'd be safer with us," the Red one explains. 

"Uhh guys, they sent a whole platoon of Darkness guards after us and they're almost here. If we're leaving, we better do it now," the Orange one pipes in. 

Red looks at me, awaiting my answer. "Better answer in the next five seconds or we're all dead."

"I- fine, let's get out of here. I'd rather not die today," I decide and Red rushes over and grabs my wrist. 

"Blane, you know the escape plan, right?" the Red rebel asks his Orange friend. 

"Yup, where are we meeting up, Reed?" Blane asks. 

"The place," Reed responds. 

Reed shoots a rope thing from a gun-like object, and then we run.

Well this took so longer to write then I thought it would. Updates probably won't be too often, but they will happen. Sorry if this isn't the best chapter, I started it a while ago and then got writing other works, and then I finished this when my motivation wasn't that high but I really wanted to finish this chapter.

Anyways, have a great day or night!
