The ghost in cog city ( complete)

Ch.4

The 3rd star had rose , I hadn't slept for the passing of 12 stars ...the humans would consider that as one day. I heard a knock at my door and seen looper through the peep hole and I opened the doors to my clock tower . My clock tower was old looking , wooden and stone walls and windows instead of lights I used candles in the dark. "I can spring for you to get an upgrade on your clock tower man I know onyx man I can get you set up " looper said flatly "no man I'm good " I said restlessly. I was exhausted and had no energy , I raked my smooth hair to the side and sat at s desk and looper sat with me and dropped a bag "what's that ?" I asked ." A change of clothes ? And some food I'm staying for the 24 cycle " looper said

My heart dropped ...looper was so violent and emotionless just saying hi to him on the street gave me chills now he'd be in my tower for 24 star passes I felt like I was going to die right then and there .

Then I felt the area under the table get hot "you seem a little chilly ...think you need you get heated !" Looper said grimly

I looked under the table and a solar pistol was aimed straight at my stomach and then looper paused and aimed it to the ceiling and shot and it produced a bright light that was perfect for lighting the room "man ever heard of a lightbulb ? Even the humans use them " looper said as he spun his pistol through his fingers holstering it " aye looper man I'm not so comfortable with weapons in my place " I said shyly

Then he grabbed me by the wrist "then cast these aside ..because these are the masters of each weapon know to tempus kind ...your fingers  pull triggers , hands swing savage blades and throw punches ...the weapons don't decided to kill  ..." looper said

I paused and looked at my fist ...he had a point "if that doesn't make sense to you I'll cast away my weapons but if you understand I'll keep my canons and such " looper said taking his weapons belt off " no I completely understand " I nodded . Looper was still in his military outfits a white puffy jacket with a fur hood white pants and white boots

It made his brown skin and green eyes and black hair stand out . "So as far as charts show deja vu moments and lost memories have been cutting down so what's causing these rips in time " looper said opening a large note book he brought with him

"Well these rips are almost god sized deja Vu moments and lost human memories can create time rips but ones like these are beyond any lost memory or anything a human is capable of ...for lost memories to cause this more than 5 million humans would have had to die or get amnesia all at the same time" I stated

"Rudy hux ...what's the moves on stopping this I mean  I'm smart but I'm no scientist " looper said as he took his jacket off. He wasn't a giant but he was still muscular , his black tank top matched him better than the jacket "we can't send stitchers out there ...stitchers main purpose in the military may be to sew up rips in time but remember to sew up a rip they have to create smaller rips to make sewing string ...the tears are smaller events leading up to the big tear so ...two problems we don't know what events lead to this giant rip outside of cog city and also creating string to sew this rip closed will take so many rips its self that once were done closing this one we'll have just as big of a problem " I shrugged

Looper ran his fingers through his jet black hair "ugh ...." he sighed

"Plus we know little to nothing about this too besides it's size ...we have to wait until Arron returns ..." I raised an eyebrow to looper "Rudy ...why did your brother go by himself ? What does he think he's onyx or something ?" Looper raised an eyebrow back "nah ...no tempus besides ...the galaxy eater would even look at onyx the wrong way " I chuckled

"Aye man I'm no god like onyx and I'm not the best fighter to ever exist , would I pick a fight with onyx ? Of course not ! But if onyx questioned my morals ? Then guess we'll just be seeing what's what wont we " looper said with slight irritation "heck you're crazy man I'd beg for my life " I laughed slightly

"Aye man you got to have guts " looper stood up and I stood up

Looper poked my stomach , it was rough like a bullet hitting me "you seem pretty hollow Rudy hux " looper said strongly then I looked at myself ...was I hollow ? ....did I have guts ...

Or was I just ...a coward ?
