“Maybe you are right, just be safe, and try to be a bit quick, I won’t leave without you even if a ship sees us.” Joshi said.
“I surely will…” I said.
“…What an emotional scene…” Brain said on the communicator.
“Have you prepared the rescue plan?” I asked.
“Affirmative you will be rescued by a helicopter at the very end of this river, where it meets the sea, also we have a backup helicopter in case anything happens” he replied.
“You are really useful in such situations much more useful than Sharma” Joshi said.
“Think again.” I said.
We returned to the others and told them about the splitting part of our plan. They went forward and I stayed there with Kanika. I sat on another rock just beside the one on which she was sitting.
Chapter 23 – Some Time Together pt 2
“So where do you want to go for a date?” I asked.
“I don’t know wherever you want to take me.” She replied.
“I am not good at choosing places”
“Neither am I.”
“What about a candle light dinner? In a… say five star?”
“Can you afford that?”
“I surely can… (After all I have not used my salary at all since I joined I.G.P.)”
“I don’t want that much but what about going to a quite place and just spending time together just like now”
“Well I didn’t think about that.”
Both of us looked in each other’s eyes and made a strong eye contact and started moving closer to each other, out lips open just a little bit, and eyes dimming slowly and…
“Do you hear that?” I asked, and pulled out my guns.
“No I don’t hear anything” she replied.
“Yeah maybe I was just thinking too much” I said, and went towards the river washed my face and then turned back and lied down with my arms behind my head and facing upwards.
“You might sleep if you stay like that.” She said.
“Yeah didn’t slept even for a sec last night” I replied.
I was still sure that I heard something and my mind was working in order to revel that, just when Kanika came to me walking somehow and lied down beside me with her head on my chest and her hand on me.
“Everything’s going to be fine” she said.
“Yeah I know that” I replied.
“Thanks for being with me and saving me all this time.” She said.
“It’s my pleasure.”
“And I feel safe with you and…”
“And what?” I asked.
“Just that I wanted you to tell you that I don’t know that if we will survive this and…”
“We will surely survive… I promise”
“Yeah but still I want you to know this that I Love You”
“I Love You Too… Kani…” and I fell asleep
Chapter 24 – Third Agent
I can’t belief Sharma is enjoying right now with Kanika, Varun and Srijita are having a great time walking together and just I and Mishra are here getting bored, and so I am looking at my G.P.S. again and again in order to know how much distance is left, and luckily it’s not too much. Just then Mishra came to me and said “it’s really strange to find a high-tech cave in a place like this, isn’t it?”
“Yeah maybe we were lucky?” I replied.
“Too much lucky, so did Sharma found it or you?”
“We both just found it there, it isn’t like we said something like… Open Sesame and then it opened or…”
“Sharma didn’t tell you about me did he?”
“What he have to tell me about you?”
And then he showed me his I.G.P. bracelet with his name inscribed on it A. Mishra. Which proves that he is an I.G.P. special agent who is answerable directly to the Head and not the leader of small bases on different planets… there is only one Agent of this kind on each planet.
“That means you are an I.G.P. special agent.” I said.
“…Exactly he is and he is on this mission as Sharma asked him to come with you.” Brain said.
“What was that?” Varun asked turning around towards us after listening the voice Brain.
“What?” I said.
“I thought that I heard the voice of Sharma.” He replied.
“That is surely not possible.” Mishra said.
“Maybe I was just hearing thing” he said.
Then I told Mishra all that I saw in the cave. As we reached the sea I got an incoming message on my communicator. And we moved a bit away in order to read it.
“Call me as soon as possible ~Brain”
So I called him “Brain what is the problem what happened?”
“Connection with Agent Sharma is broken and he is not responding at all.”
“That’s bad…” Mishra said.
“Let me send you the exact coordinates of his location, follow them and find out what is going on” Brain said.
“We are on it…” Mishra said.
We returned to search for them as soon as we got the coordinates but Srijita asked us where we are going? And before we answered it the rescue helicopter arrived there, a man got out of it. We went towards them and told him “Get the other helicopter ready and take Varun and Srijita in this helicopter, we have some unfinished business to take care of.”
“Alright we will do as you say” the man told.
I was sure that it was the dragon that I saw in the cave attacked on him.
Chapter 25 – Kanika Kidnapped!
Some time before the message that Brain gave them…
I was sleeping on the ground and just then I heard some noise and felt the weather warmer than before, which woke me up and I saw a strange big eye right in front of me (No! No! I am not going to die by looking into the eye). I jumped sideways and realized that it was the dragon holding Kanika in one of his hand, so I tried to stop it but it pushed me into the river I somehow managed to swim to the side of the river but till then it flew away I tried to shoot it but it was of no use, suddenly it took a turn and now it was coming towards me so I jumped to my left, and planted a tracker on it, but it’s wing stroked me and it felt as if it was a pure metal inside the dragon I collided with a tree and fell unconscious.
The next thing I heard was the voice of Joshi and Mishra, who were right there most probably, came to help me out.
“Brain told us that you were not responding to his calls so I thought that something bad might have happened with you…” Joshi said.
“So we came to help you out” Mishra continued.
“It’s the dragon, the same dragon we saw yesterday, it kidnapped Kanika, and…”
“…and we are going to help her out.” Joshi said.
“Bad plan, the chopper is right out there, we must go and leave this island if the dragon had taken her there is no chance that she might be still alive.” Mishra said.
“I don’t care I just have to save her at all cost, no matter what the cost.” I said.
“You must have gone crazy, how many times do you think that your luck will work?” Mishra said.
“I don’t rely on luck, the only reason I am going back there is, I want to protect her.” I said.
“The only reason?” Joshi asked.
“Look, I don’t care if you help me or not but, I have a promise to keep…” I said, and turned around to look for the dragon, using my G.P.S.
“…And miles to go before you sleep? Then you will surely need me.” Joshi said walking beside me.
“Both of you might get in trouble” Mishra yelled from behind.
“We don’t care…” I said.
“…and besides it’s going to be fun.” Joshi continued.
“I know I have to be the savior then.” Mishra said and he too joined us.
I looked closely at the G.P.S. and said “The dragon it’s not going to the previous cave but some other place.”
“Where is it?” Joshi asked.
; “Somewhere near…” I replied.
“Then let’s keep moving.” Mishra said.
“Another thing the dragon I felt its wing it was made of metal, I am sure it was a machine” I said.
“Yeah yesterday night I too saw it in the cave while searching for clues” Joshi said.
“Why didn’t you told me then?” I said.
“I tried to but you said Shhhh! Look… and something.”
“You might have told me later” I said.
“Did we had time to think about that?”
“Both of you can save the fight for later right now we must get ready, we are close.” Mishra said.
As I looked into my G.P.S I realized that the dragon was close to us, if we continue to walk straight we will reach him. After walking some more I saw another cave, different from the previous as it looked old and without any tech inside so Joshi and I took off our B.T.
“So what kind of alien are you?” Joshi asked Mishra.
“I am from a breed called as Humans.” He replied.
“Is that possible?” Joshi asked me.
“Yeah he was kept here on special request after the special agent of earth was retired, as he was the first human I.G.P. member so he was posted to earth keeping in mind that he might work much more comfortably here than any other planet.” I replied.
“So I don’t need any B.T.” Mishra replied.
“Then how will you fight those aliens out there much stronger than you?”
“The same question applies to you too, you aren’t the strongest alien, and perhaps I have learnt martial arts from a very young age, I can survive easily” he replied.
As we went inside the cave I saw someone sitting in there, whose face was not clear. I took out my guns and slowly moved towards it. When I was close enough I figures out that it was none other than Kanika and she had that tracker on her.
“Sharma?” she said in a low voice.
“Don’t worry I am here, everything is going to be fine.” I said opening her bonds.
“No leave it’s a trap…” she said.
“What?” and then suddenly a man stroked on her head from behind and she fell unconscious.
“Agent Sharma, we finally meet, I have heard a lot about you.” That man said.
As I got up he hit me with a rod hard enough that I was pushed back. I got up and saw Mishra and Joshi pointing their guns at him.
“Who are you?” Joshi said.
“And how come you have heard a lot about me? I am not that famous.” I said.
“From your old friend, he speaks quite highly of you.” The man said.
“Who is that old friend of mine that tells you about me?” I asked, to which he responded by just a small smile on his face “Answer me.” I yelled.
Chapter 26 – Important things to take care of…
“You need not worry about that, I will just tell you that he is my master and before meeting him you all will be the lunch of my baby.” He said calling the dragon with a whistle and it appeared behind him same big dangerous eyes and wide wings wide enough that he can now spread them in this cave (Wide enough to knock someone unconscious). We started to move out all of us pointing our guns towards him.
As we moved out the first thing it did was blow some fire breathe at us which we easily douched. Then it started to do attacks after attack either by its claws or the fire or even worse by its tail which was really unbearable. But we managed to survive somehow. All three of us moved behind trees to hide, then I said, “Cover me I have got a plan”
“What is it?” Joshi asked.
“That creature is made up of metal and most probably if it strikes me with its claws it will take damage due to my blood.” I said.
“That’s madness…” Mishra said.
“Don’t worry, I will heal quickly and nothing much will happen to me” I said.
“Be careful” Joshi said.
“I will…” I said and jumped out.
Both of them started to shoot at it and I moved towards the dragon taunting it to attack me. And so it did stroked me with its claws, some of my blood was left on its claws but it didn’t dissolved the metal on its claws.
“Such naive you are…” said that man coming out of the cave “…Its body is made up of metal but it is special alloy on its claws which prevent it to melt when it comes in contact to your blood.”
“That means it’s of no use?” I said while my wounds healed. Then suddenly it grabbed me and threw me towards a tree like I was a stuff toy. Then it reached me and started to hit me again and again on that tree injuring my back. It hit me until the tree collapse on the ground. Then it turned towards the others who were firing at it and started to fight them. I can barely see now with all that beating and that much blood loss had made me weak.
I was just able to see a little bit and I saw that it was trying to kill my friends just like it tried to kill me and I pulled my gun and shot towards it which hit directly its left eye injuring it.
He was half blind now and cannot see properly which gave us some lead but not too much. That man approached me and was talking on his communicator “… yeah mistress everything is going according to plan and this island will soon be ash with Agent Sharma and his friends, soon our master will return and acquire this planet too just like the others he had earlier.” Then he turned off the communicator.
“So it was all part of your plan from the beginning to get me here and sink me with this island” I said.
“Exactly, Agent Sharma that flight and all the stupid aliens on that flight also that bomb, it was all part of our plan, I wanted you here with your weaknesses, your innocent human friends, they slowed you down a lot, then also those creatures were to make you weak so that you cannot fight back when you will need to, look at you right now it’s the result of all this restless work. Now you can’t fight back, not at all”
“What about the bomb on the plane, it was not activated, how did it exploded?”
“It was activated when I gave it to him it was designed to blow on a special coordinate so that the plane must crash on the island as I have decided, all part of my mathematics, I am a great scientist isn’t it?”
“You forgot one thing” I said.
“What’s that?”
“Good always win in the battle of good and evil”
“Such stupid emotions, like a child living in fairy tales, Agent Sharma grow up, be an adult”
“Don’t tell me to grow up I was born an adult.” I said and shot his leg, as I got up.
“What how is that possible?” the scientist said.
Chapter 27 – Minutes To Relax
“I think that your friend didn’t told you that we people of planet Dreath have tremendous power of not only healing but we make up lost energy way too fast if we had something to eat in the last 24 hours and I remember that I had dinner last night. So this gives me power to fight for next say 24 hours, all I needed was some minutes” I said as I picked up the fallen tree which had my blood on it “Now get aside I have a monster to kill” and stroked the creature with that tree leaving my blood on it which dissolved a little of its left body leaving a gap to see a reactor inside. But then it quickly moved towards the huge cave in order to hide the hole, but I blocked the entrance with the tree in my hand, so it leaned with the outer side of the cave and covered the gap on its body.
We had another problem now to move it away from the cave, both of them were shooting at it still it didn’t move a bit, but I had some other idea I climbed the cave and signaled them to use vine to pull it away from the cave. Mishra didn’t seemed to understand but Joshi got it and pulled some vines and threw it towards the dragon, but it burned them with his breathe. So I shot him and it breath fire at me.
It was then that they were able to get the vine around the dragon’s neck and pull it towards them as soon as I saw the gap I shot the reactor with five shots one after another, and overloaded the reactor which made the dragon go out of control and moved around,
strike at some trees and fell, followed by an explosion in the reactor.
“Rest in peace little bastard” I said.
The scientist was trying to escape but I jumped in front of him and said “You had a pet dragon, just like the others who attacked us, but it was too hard to control”
He turned the other side and saw Joshi there “So you decided to make an electronic dragon after killing the real one” he said.
He turned again to a third side but Mishra was there “And that’s why you had this island covered with Zemo radiation it stops the dragon when it went out of control and also it hid the island from the outer world.”
“Don’t take a step ahead, I am warning you…” he said as we moved towards him. Then he suddenly took out a remote control and showed it to us in fear “You see it the whole island is covered with explosive. If I press this button…” as he said this something shot through his head. We turned to see what it was and Sakshi was standing right there holding a grapple gun and a handgun like mine.
“He was no longer of use to us” she said as she used the grapple gun to get the remote control.
“No! Stop…” I said as she got it in her hands.
“You stop right there, let me warn you, you have got two choices risk everyone’s life and try to catch me in that case I will press the button and detonate the entire island or just take your friends away before I leave the island and activate the bomb, the choice is yours.” She said.
“You won’t do that…” I said.
“Oh! Really, try me. If I prove to be useless to master then he will kill me just like I killed him, but in a more deadly and painful way, so if I have to die why not with this island taking you down with it?”
“That won’t help join us and this can be stopped. There can be peace all around the world.”
“Such foolish emotions, like a child, Agent Sharma these humans have changed you, made you weak and helpless if left alone, what will you exactly do without your team? You used to be strong earlier but now, you are so much depended on these people around you. You can no longer match him.” She threw a smoke bomb and hid herself in the smoke “One last thing Agent Sharma you have got some 15 min before you can escape this island, sounds like a video game to me, you like them don’t you?”
And after that she vanished in the trees.
“Both of you leave quick and wait for me at the shore I will meet you there as soon as possible” I said.
“Are you going back for her?” Joshi asked.
