PART-1/CHAPTER-4

PART-1: RISE AND A DISASTER

CHAPTER-4: THE FIRST BATTLE




  Amit was surprised. He aimed Wise at the creature and shouted, “Who.. who’re you? Stay away from me. D’you know? I.. I’m a superhero now, and I could kill you right away. Stay back.” The creature didn’t move, instead it stood still. Amit yelled again, “Stay back! Why’re you just standing there and staring. Get away from here.”

                  “Oh! Stop it kid that’s not our foe. That’s you”, said Wise. Amit was out of his mind, “What! What the hell are you saying Wise. How can that monster be me? Yeah, of course, he’s packed with a little style. But he’s too dark. People would be afraid of him.” Wise replied, “First lesson from me kid, not everything that looks dark is evil and not everything that’s fair is a fairy. You’ll be a lesson to your people Amit. You’ll have to inspire them. And that’s the reason for it to be this way.” 

                      The creature vanished. Amit asked Wise, “But wait, you have the potential to power  my armour. But, you wouldn’t be able to create that armour all by yourself, would you? I mean you could make it fly, shoot laser beams and make it manipulate the forces, but you can’t make that suit to fit me and be more humane. How did you do that?” “You’re right. And you’ll know it with time kid”, replied Wise and he vanished.

                “Was it a dream?” Amit whispered to himself and turned around to see his mother!

                “Woah! Mom, did you just see it?” asked Amit. His mom, Mrs. Devi Shekhar, replied, “Yeah, I saw it.” “Mom, I didn’t know what was happening. It just happened mom, that’s it”, replied Amit. “What are you speaking of Amit? How could you don’t know what you were doing. You were swinging your stick and were doing your daily practice. What’s so weird with that?” replied his mom, “Now get down and have your lunch.” “What! He can create illusions too?” whispered Amit to himself. 

                         It was 6 at the evening. Amit and his dad were watching the news updates while his mom was cooking. They were watching the live show of NASA’s upcoming missions, when suddenly Mr. Ravi’s phone started ringing. He grabbed the phone from the table beside him and went out to attend it. Amit was still watching the show. Amit heard the voice of his father, he began shouting, ‘What?... How’s it even possible? We weren’t even sure that they existed.’ Amit’s mind started running around his thoughts. He remembered about the aliens that Wise was talking about. He ran to his father, stood beside him to hear the conversation. On the phone, ‘Sir, it’s moving at a very high speed. When we observed it 10 minutes ago, it didn’t even enter our solar system, and now, it’s behind Jupiter. We’ve contacted all the space agencies and everyone reported the same.’ Amit’s dad replied to the voice on the phone, “Do what all’s possible, I’m on my way.”

                      “Hope you understood the situation son. Explain your mom”, said Mr. Ravi to Amit. “Okay dad.” He grabbed his coat and keys and landed up on his car, which had the logo of “ISRO” on the wind shield.

                      Next day morning, all of the family were having their breakfast. Amit asked his dad, “How’s the situation dad?”. His dad replied, “Son, it’s too worse. It may be an invasion or a business trip by them. Last night, NASA tried to contact the spaceship through the ISS, it was on a very higher orbit than ISS, and they couldn’t capture it’s radio signals. There’s no way to contact it, they say. We can’t even attack it, because we weren’t prepared. It takes days only to prepare the flight for weapons.” His mother joined the conversation, “NASA just announced that the spaceship is surrounded by a force field which we can’t cross. Just read it in the news.”

                   As soon as Amit finished his breakfast and crossed the main door, he heard the breaking news from the T.V., ‘A strange creature just entered the upper atmosphere above Delhi. Humanity could meet its end 
soon.’ Amit ran upstairs. He was exited and also a bit afraid. It was going to be his first fight. Amit thought about Wise and he appeared before him. “It’s time kid!”, said Wise. “Yeah. But, can I fly?”. “Figure it out yourself, kid. Try to do it by believing in yourself. If you could, it’s your power or else, it isn’t.”

                 Amit grabbed Wise. Dark dust with golden sparkles, started swirling around him, and then, he was in his armour. Amit tried to fly, he thought that he can fly and he has to. He started levitating in the air. He was in the whole control of himself. A minor disturbance in his mind, caused the imbalance in his flight. But, it was in just a few moments that he learnt to fly. He flew to Delhi within a few minutes. He landed upon a building. He saw an alien running down the atmosphere. It created a tornado while flying down. And as soon as it reached the surface, it lifted up trees and cars with the swirling wind. Amit observed this, “Uh-oh! Wise, do something”. Wise replied, “What’s the point of choosing you when I do everything on my own.”

               Amit came to his senses. He remembered all his fantasies and dreams. He always dreamt to be a hero and now he’s one. “I’ll do it”, whispered Amit, and he flew towards the alien. Amit waved his hands in a pattern, and thought deep in his mind, that he could manipulate the forces of nature. Amit too created a whirling tornado while his flight towards the alien and he aimed the tornado at him. The alien weakened a bit, it let down the trees and cars. But, it’s rage was out of bounds. It rose high along with Amit. It again began swirling the wind around itself, created a tornado of more strength and aimed at Amit. Amit lifted his head up, he could see clouds, it was about to rain in an hour but the lightning was already on. He got an Idea. He could use the force of thunder.  He lifted his arms up to conduct the lightning, he channeled all of it towards the alien. At that very instant, the tornado vanished. The alien was injured a bit.

                  And out there in Mumbai, Mrs. Shekhar was watching the news, which read this way, ‘Two aliens are fighting each other. Their fight could destroy us. Is it the result of the strange bright streak? Oh no, he’s not an alien. He may be a hero who’s saving us. He just injured the alien, is he a hero or an Alien?’

                 The battle was still on. The alien rose higher towards the clouds, Amit chased it. This time it used it’s tornado on the clouds, thus dispersing all of them. Amit couldn’t use thunder anymore. It attacked Amit with all of it’s power. Amit couldn’t bear the force and he was thrashed onto a building. Amit was trying to get up while the alien was approaching him. Wise said, “This is your first battle Amit. You’re a superhero. Step up.” “I will”, replied Amit. Now, Amit was at his utmost rage. He flew up and stood at a distance from the alien. The alien used all of his potential and was creating another tornado. Amit realized that he didn’t use the sword till now. Although he used all the powers of Wise which were channeled through him, he didn’t yet use the ultimate blade. He got an idea. He tried to unleash the full potential of himself, ‘Amit’, which made Wise choose him. He closed his eyes and channeled all of his potential through the blade and flew towards the alien, aiming Wise at him. There appeared a bright light all of a sudden. And thus, Amit defeated the alien and won his first battle.

              The world witnessed the rise of a new superhero. People were staring at him. He could see the gratitude in their eyes. Tears dwelled in Amit’s eyes. He couldn’t stay there anymore and flew back to his home.

               It was night, the family was having dinner. Mr. Ravi said, “I didn’t knew that there were superheroes. Well, I didn’t believe. Where did he actually come from? Any ideas?”. Amit’s mother, Devi, replied, “They started calling him ‘The Dark Savior’”. Amit grabbed on the words, “Yeah, cause he looks like a monster, but actually,  he’s a hero.”

              Thus, “The Dark Savior” rises. But, Amit had defeated only one of the aliens belonging to a great starship. They didn’t knew of the large threat that was coming. Amit was happy at that moment. But, he didn’t know that he’s going to lose a lot in future.
