It’s almost Dawn as Karan and Sana are driving down the express way, enjoying their afternoon drive under the orange sky. “There are a lot of things wrong with this” says Sana with visible stress on her face. Karan being laser focused on the road just lets out a “huh?”. Sana gets more annoyed and says“ Your speed, the speed limit on this road and this DIY car” Sana looks at Karan and shouts “ Can you just slow down! Oh my god!”. Karan gets startled by Sana’s shouting and slows down a bit. “You know there were more chances of an accident happening because of that then the speeding” says Karan, followed by a sight smile. “ Well that happened because of your speeding so, if a accident takes place I would still blame your irresponsible ass for it” says Sana as she lets out a small chuckle. Hearing her laugh Karan takes his eyes off the road to look at her, as he turns his head to the passenger seat, he freezes as he sees Sana looking at with a broken skull and cover in blood dripping from her face. As Karan is unable to move or speak, Sana says “what happened? Can’t keep your eyes off me Karan ?” hearing this Karan starts to breathe heavily and their car crashes which causes him to wake up.
7th March 2025
Karan wakes up gasping for air, unable to breathe, he fall off the bed, the room is dark, dirty and filled with half built machines. Karan gets up and starts walk towards the washroom. After talking his bath, he stands in front of the mirror looking at the scar on his face, right across his left eye, he picks up a small bottle of eye drop and puts it in his left eye.
In the Basement an old man keeps a chicken on a platform connected to a larger machines and steps away from it. Behind him Karan walks down with two coffee mugs in his hands, the old man presses a button on his remote and the with a dark red flash the chicken disappears. Karan steps forward and says “go ahead Doc….. bring it back”, hearing Karan behind him startles him a bit and with a shaky voice the Doc replies “yeah”. The Doc presses the button and with the same bright flash lump of frozen meat lands on the platform. Looking at that Doc under his breath whispers “fuck”. Before the Doc can say anything a mug of coffee goes flying across the room, hitting the wall and shattering into pieces. “ god fucking damnit!” shouts Karan and starts walking furiously towards Dr.khanna. Doc turns around to Karan. As Karan reaches closer, Dr.khanna puts his hand on Karan’s shoulder stopping him and says “ Karan we are close. you know that, we just to find the right time keeping in mind the Earth’s rotation”. Karan pushes Doc’s hand off his shoulder, holds Doc by his collar “ if it’s so easy then it shouldn’t take you a fucking year to figure it out.” Karan pushes him away “ i need to do..” before Karan could finish what he was saying Dr.khanna says “ I am not doing for you Karan…I’ve told you this…I don’t do this because you can’t move on I do this for science” Karan looks right into the Docs eyes “ science ?” Karan let’s out a chuckle before continuing “you do this for yourself, you do this because YOU want to prove that you weren’t wrong” Karan walks closers towering over Dr.khanna “ so let’s not go around questioning our motives huh ? Because I am your best bet right now for you to finish this… for science of course”. Karan turns around and let’s out a “sigh” and starts making his ways back upstairs. He stops at the first step and says “your tea is on the table”. Dr.khanna looks that cup on the table before turning to the splash on the wall where Karan throw his cup “thanks ” says dr.khanna. “ill go get you more chickens“ says Karan before starting to walk up the stairs.
Moments pass and dr.khanna is done swiping the pile of meat from the platform. He steps back from the platform, takes a seat near the desk with his mug on it. Dr.khanna looks around the room and there is a moment of silence.
Karan enters his house with a box. Karan’s house is a Villa. From the outside the villa looked bandoned, inside everything apart from the basement room and Karan’s room was covered with multiple layers of dust. Karan makes his way downstairs where he finds Dr.khanna sleeping with his head on the desk, Karan places the box in a corner and walks towards the platform where the doctor has kept the waste from the last trial. Karan picks up the garbage bag and starts walking. As Karan is going to throw the trash out, he stops, he places the bag down and turns around. Karan walks closer to the platform and he notices a white feather laying near it, he rushes to the bag again, opening it to find out that there is no feathers in that pile of meat. Karan’s face turns red with anger, he pushes the bag aside and turns around to find that the doctor is already up. Karan lift the feather up “what are you hiding Khanna?” asks Karan, his eyes perusing through Dr.khanna. “its just a feath..” before dr.khanna could finish talking Karan interrupts “press the button” says Karan with anger flowing through his voice. Dr.khanna looks at the remote, looks back at Karan and says “fine..” before pushing the button. Karan looks back at the platform because of the dark red flash and he is left speechless. The chicken was back “it works..” says Karan still unable to believe what happened. “you sure about that Karan ?” asks Dr.khanna standing behind him. Karan turns around and Dr.khanna continues “I can’t track where I send it….” Karan interrupts “but it’s alive ! If a chicken can survive it..I am pretty sure I can and we can just figure it out from there”. Dr.khanna furiously walks twords Karan and says “what if it survive because it’s chicken? There is difference between a tiny, 3kg chicken and a 6ft, 70kg human….. don’t be blinded by…..” dr.khanna stops mid sentence as he is distracted by the chicken who has now walked up near his leg and is peaking the ground. Dr.khanna picks up the chicken and sees that there is a small metal tag on it’s foot which has the word “evidence” imprinted on it. Dr.khanna looks at Karan and says “it interacted with people” Karan walks closers to the doc and says “it’s English…..doctor we need to go ahead with this. These are all good signs”. Dr.khanna still a bit confused walks to a cage and places the chicken in it,he turns back to Karan and let’s out a “sigh” followed by “ I’ll get the suits ready”
They both stand in front of the time machine, wearing black suits which almost look like scuba diving suit. Karan looks at dr.khanna who is looking at the time machine platform, his eye focused. Karan puts his hand on Dr.khanna’s shoulder and says “I might have never said this up front but what better time then this……thank you doctor I re…”. Dr.khanna interrupts Karan “don’t thank me Karan……” Dr looks at Karan and says with a humble smile “ we all have our motives” after which dr.khanna gives him a nod and they start walking towards the platform. As they stand on the platform, visibly confused and scared not knowing what’s going to be on the other end or how the transportation is going to feel on their body. Dr.khanna let’s out a “sigh” looks at the remote and presses the switch. With a dark red lighting flash the room is empty.
7th March 2050
Another dark red lighting occurs in a small dark alley and with it dr.khanna and Karan fall to the ground. Unable to move a lot and just breathing rapidly cause of the pain, Karan sits up against a black metal container, after finding his sitting against the container he says “doc…I can’t see…what the fuck!”. Dr.khanna leanings his back against a wall and says “give it 5 it will all come back to you”. Dr.khanna removes his glasses, cleans them, puts them back on and looks around as he is still able to see a bit. The alley is dark with some pink- ish light leaking in from the right end of the alley and the left end of the alley just had a door. Dr.khanna tries to look at what is emitting the pink light from the right end of the alley but his vision is still blurry, Karan holds the edge of the container and barely manages to get back on his feet. Dr.khanna looks at Karan and asks “are you able to see yet ?” . Karan still breathing heavily and rubbing his eyes nods no. Soon dr.khanna hears something from the other side of the door, Dr looks at the door where the voice is getting louder. “footsteps” says Dr.khanna, he looks back at Karan, walks up to him, opens the container behind him, pushes him inside and says “shut the fuck up and do not get caught. I’ll find you”. Before Karan can say anything Doc’s attention goes back to the footsteps and he closes the container.
The door on the left end of the alley bursts open 4 people dressed in full black and vests, holding unrecognizable objects resembling guns. They gather around Dr.khanna, who is on the ground pretending as if he is still not able to breathe. He looks at all of the four guards surrounding him but none of them saying anything, from the open door dr.khanna hears one more pare of footsteps, they are slow, echoing though lobby, they get closer and suddenly the footsteps stop. There is a moment of spine chilling silence as the doctor could hear someone breath right at the door but can’t see him anything beyond the door, suddenly a thin green light flashes through the lobby and scan the doctor head to toe, the light dims down and now a thin green horizontal light is visible in the dark corridor. Suddenly someone steps out, a tall figure wearing a black cap, covered in a long black overall covering his entire body till his calves and a device instead of his eyes with a thin horizontal lines in the middle emitting that green light. Dr.khanna gets on his feet, the tall guy with a very smoky voice says “hmm…interesting….I am CRANK. I rather go by C and you were expected”. He steps aside and raises his hand from under his overall point the door. Dr.khanna sees that his hand just like his eye is bio-mechanical. The guards gather behind Dr.khanna and start walking towards the door, Dr.khanna’s eyes are locked on C, as dr.khanna reaches the door with C standing right beside him, towering over Dr.khanna, C looks down at Dr.khanna and asks “are you here alone ?” Dr.khanna freezes for a moment, before he is able to reply, C pulls up his right hand and Dr.khanna starts panicking as unlike C’s other arm this one just has a long blade instead. C asks Dr.khanna “I need a blood sample before we take you in”. One of the guards grabs Dr.khanna’s arm up as C slowly presses his blade down on Dr.khanna’s palm. C pulls his hand back as there is a tiny drop of blood on his blade. C scans the blood, as he is done, he wipe his blade and commands the guards “take him”. Three of the guards take dr.khanna away as one of them stands there with C. The guard looks up at C who is looking at the alley way before turning to the guard and saying “it’s a 80% match with dr.deep’s DNA”. The guard says “well that’s Deep’s problem now” before finally leaving. As the guard leaves, C still stands there looking at the dark alley, his attention goes to the bright pink light at the end of at alley, he looks at for a moment before turning leaving as well. After waiting for sometime to make sure everyone has left, Karan opens the dumpster and gets out, with his vision back but zero idea what happened and where he is. Karan started heading towards bright light at the right end of the alley, the light keeps getting brighter, his eyes slowly adjusting to the light, as he gets closer to the end of the alley he starts hearing people, like a crowded place. Karan starts walking faster as suddenly Karan feels a sharp pain through his right leg and drops to the ground. Karan turns around to see a blade stabbed in his thigh and a chin connected to the blade leading to the other end of the alley. Where C is stand near the door and the chain reeling back into his right arm. The chain tightens pulling Karan to him, Karan screams because the pain and yanks his leg leading the blade out of his leg and the blade reconnecting to C’s arm again cover in Karan’s blood. Karan start crawling towards the light while still trying to get up, he manages to get off the ground and starts limping to the end of the alley. He reaches the end of the alley and looks back to see if C is following but the alley is empty. He finally steps out of the alley to see a market area filled with people, wearing outfits he had never seen, the whole area lit up by a giant hologram of a girl singing and dancing, the building like structures so large where your sight may end but not the walls towering over the market. Karan rips out the sleeve from his suit and ties it to his leg. No one really notices him as his black suit kind of matches the other outfits that the locals are wearing. Karan stumbles and makes his way to a small log in the corner to sit down and register what’s going on. He sits down and let’s out a “sigh” in relief. The market is filled with people, some of them with their robots walking with them, some people with robotic advancements to their bodies and small stalls hovering around the place like a vegetable carts. “Wow….I am in the future…fucking great !” shouts Karan with visible anger on his face but before he could say anything else suddenly Karan is distracted by the giant hologram singing and dancing in the middle of the market. It’s a girl with no advancements in her body and the pink hair flying around. Karan is not able to take his eyes of her, as the hologram finally turns around and Karan is able to see her face. He freezes, it’s Sana and before he could give it more thought. A sharp pain rushes through his head and he falls unconscious. As he is unconscious he sees things, like memories from when he was a kid with his family but they aren’t really his memory.
Meanwhile Dr.khanna is being transported to the military base. Dr.khanna is looking down at the city as the vehicle flies over the city between the skyscrapers. From this hight the whole city is visible till the very edge of the city. Dr.khanna shifts his attention in the vehicle, he looks at C who is sitting in the corner with his face hidden in the dark. Dr.khanna asks C “bio-mechanics right ?” C looks at dr.khanna as he continues “both of your arms and eyes”. C stay silent for a moment before saying “you should know”. Dr.khanna chuckles and says “yeah I should……what is his name tho ? The one who made you” C says ” you ask too many questions”. Dr.khanna smiles and very tauntingly says “only if you had a controller by which I could make you answer all of them”. All the guards start awkwardly looking at eachother in shock. C’s eyes turn red. Dr.khanna looks at his eyes and in the same taunting manner says “sorry if I touched a n- ” C interrupts and says “dr.deep…be careful tho…he might like you a lot”. Dr.khanna smiles, he looks back outside the vehicle at the city and says “I bet…you know for mostly just nuts and bolts…you sure had a lot angry when you said his name”. C quickly replies to Dr.khanna ” for a human, who definitely would not survive a fall from this height…you sure do talk a lot”. Dr.khanna looks back at C, he does say anything, he just looks at him for a moment before turning back to look outside again. Dr.khanna looks down at the city as he is thinking something. Soon their van approaches a huge structure. The government base, largest structure in the city. One single structure, definitely not the tallest but covering ground beyond imagination.
Dr.khanna is place in the middle of a entirely white room with no objects in it other then the chair he is sitting on. Soon a door slides up and a small rectangle shaped Droid rolls inside and the door slides down behind him. The Droid stops a few steps away from Dr.khanna and in a robotic voice says “you will have to answer these 5 primary questions before you are allowed to meet any officials”. Dr.khanna looks around, chuckles, looks at the Droid again and in a taunting manner says “you definitely sound more human than that C dude. Do you also have a red light in your eye?”. The Droid goes ahead with his first question “are you Dr.Deep ?”. Dr.khanna leans back on his chair and says “No”. The Droid goes ahead with his second question “What is your name?”. Dr.khanna answers “Dr.khanna”. The Droid asks his the third question “ Are you here to cause harm to our great city? “ Dr.khanna laughs says “quite the opposite actually. Didn’t you guys get my note” The Droid after a small pause asks his last question “did you send a chicken 7 hours ago with a note attached to it’s foot ?”. Dr.khanna smirks, he leans forward and says “yes”. The Droid just looks at dr.khanna for awhile and after a small “thank you” rolls out of the room. As dr.khanna is waiting in the room looking around, a hologram of a man appears in the room wearing a similar black over all C was wearing but it has more badges, he was considerably shorter, fatter and the hologram’s face was just static to hide the face, before the hologram is able to say anything dr.khanna asks “so..are you the cheff if security?”. The hologram after a moment of silence says “I am not”. “Yeah I got that” says dr.khanna as he gets up, gets closer to the hologram and tires to poke the hologram’s belly and says “ this kinda gave it away”. Dr.khanna walks through the hologram and starts looking around the room. The hologram truns around and says “I’ll get straight to the point then. 7 hours ago a chicken appeared in the middle of main hall with a note on it’s foot saying “I can save all of you – love Dr.khanna” and some coordinates below it…so tell me….save us from what Dr.khanna” Dr.khanna smirks and asks “when was the last time you saw a chicken ? I mean other than the one sent. Or a cow ? A fish? Or a..” before De.khanna could finish talking the guy in the hologram interrupts ” Yeah I lost interest. He is just one of the tricks from the rebels. Dump him out” as soon as the hologram says this a laser grid form in one end of the room and slow starts making its way to Dr.khanna. All the smugness from dr.khanna’s face flies off ” hey! hey! no.. am actually here to help” shouts dr.khanna as he sticks his back to the wall. The laser grid is already half way through the room and it phases through the hologram. Dr.khanna looks at hologram and very determinedly says ” you are Dr.deep a bio-mechanical engineer, 28th January 2005 you helped this world become what it is right now”. The laser stops a few feets away from Dr.khanna and disappears. Dr.khanna slowly starts walking to the the hologram again as he is saying “on that day you submitted your first fully functional animal testing. Half animal and rest machine that you controlled, it was perfect, because you controlled their emotions and in return them…like C”.
The static on the holograms face disappears revealing Dr.deep. who looks exactly like a older Dr.khanna but with trimmed and grayer hair. Dr.deep’s hologram leans forward and says “Tell me who you are before I change his emotions towards you”. Dr.khanna, clearly a bit pushed back says ” I am Dr.khanna…basically you. On 28th January 2005 I submitted my first animal testing for bio-mechanical soldiers” Dr.khanna removes his wallet, pulls out a old peice of paper, it’s a newspaper cutout and it’s headline reads “8 police officers brutally murdered by a Robo Chimp made by Dr.khanna”. Dr.khanna looks up from the pice of paper, making direct eye contact with dr.deep and says ” first of all it wasn’t a “robo” And you being me. you should know I wouldn’t just give up there…I spent 15 years in hiding…. finding a way to fix things like….time travel and soon found out I can’t change anything that happened in the past…but what I stumbled upon was so much greater… multi-universes, a world just like mine but different…in some universe maybe I am a astronaut or a F1 driver or in some universe I am already dead”. The room is silent, the only thing audible is dr.khanna’s breathing after the rant. Dr.khanna looks back down at the paper “or maybe a universe where I passed the test” dr.khanna looks back up at Dr.deep “I’ll be honest with you considering you are me and visa versa… I am here to ask for your help and in return I can help you….as simply as I can put it is……I give you resources from a fertile planet…..and you help me rule it” after a long moment of silence dr.deep says ” thrilling offer… but I’ll need proof” dr.khanna chuckles and says “I would’ve been disappointed if you didn’t…I’ve come here with another guy….with him is a remote and with just a press of a button it can send whoever’s hold it back to my universe”. Dr.deep keeps looking at Dr.khanna for awhile without saying anything. Dr.khanna with calmed down voice says ” you know…in those 15 years….I wondered if it had all gone right…… would I have really helped the world? Well I suppose I found out”. Dr.deep’s face gets visibly angry before his hologram disappears from the room.
Dr.deep’s hologram appears in the room beside the intoregation room where a bunch of officials are observing Dr.khanna in the intoregation room. Dr.deep asks one of the soldier in the room “Did C have any report of another man when he bought Khanna in?” The soldier opens the report and says “no sir. no mention”. Dr.deep starts thinking, wondering where to start finding, before he could come up with anything a very heavy voice from the corner of the room says “you have to agree though… It’s a great plan you’ve got….. having a whole fertile planet under us just for resources.” The person talking gets up from his chair “too bad it’s a smarter you from another dimension…..well better send all of your toys to find the guy he is talking about”. Dr.deep salutes and replies with a very underwhelming “yes sir” before the chief leaves the room. Dr.deep turns back to the soldier and asks ” where is C now?” The soldier replies “sir he left the base as soon as he bought Dr.khanna in”. Dr.deep’s face gets a bit stressed, he thinks for a moment before telling the guard “notify C about this and order him to come back to base”.
C opens the door and walks out on the roof top of one of skyscrapers. Standing on the edge of the roof. The wind is strong at this height, C’s black overall pushed back by the wind, revealing his uniform under it and his left robotic hand. C scans the whole city in a matter of seconds and pin points the location where he caught Dr.khanna. he looks straight down and starts calculating a route. With his blade he opens up a panel on his left shoulder filled with wires and artificial veins. C starts digging in with his blade, pulls out a black wire, he cuts off the black wire which turns his tracker off. C looks at the city, his eyes turn green and he jumps off the edge of the roof. Diving straight down, as he keeps falling other buildings around him catch up to the height, as he gets somewhat closer to the ground he finally looks up, puts his left arm up launching his robotic hand which is also connected to a chain. His hand grabs one of the piped near by, which he uses to slingshot himself way off into the city. As C is in mid-air his chain retracts and his rodotic hand reconnects to his arm again within seconds. As he is losing his momentum, he sees in front of him, a cargo vehicle fly in the same direction, he launches his hand to it, grabbing on to the the vehicle and covers the rest of the distance to the market.
Karan wakes up, breathing heavily flashes of those childhood memories still running in his head, slowly they fade away and he gets his breathing under control. Karan looks around and notices he’s in a room, it could barely be called a room, the walls falling apart, it seemed more like a hall than a room. Karan looks at the wound on his leg which now covered up with a proper band aid, before he could put more thought into it, he starts hears footsteps from the end of the hall way and lays back down on the bed, pretending to be unconscious. The footsteps eco through the hallway as they get closer to the bed, the footsteps stop right next to him, Karan opens his eye just enough to barely see something and all he can see is a girl turned the other way. Karan quickly gets up, holds the girls arm behind her back and wraps his arm around her neck put her in a lock. “Who are you? and what you want?” asks Karan as he tightens his grip and says “Now”. The girl doesn’t reply, Karan gets more agitated and tightens his grip but he stops as he feels cold metal on his arm which he has put around her neck. Karan’s grip loosens as he gets somewhat distracted, in that moment the girl hits Karan with the back of her head and gets out of the hold. Karan looses his footing and falls back on the bed. Karan grabs his nose and looks up at the girl, finally getting a clear look at her. She is a short girl with dark brown hair, wearing cargo pants, tank top and a brown scarf covering the lower half of her face. Karan could hear a static sound coming from under her scarf. The static is soon followed by a girls voice but it sounded like it was coming from a speaker saying ” the band-aid on your leg should be a good enough hint that I am not here to hurt you”. Karan looks at his leg and then around hall. There is a window to his right behind his bed where he could still see the gaint hologram from the market. “As for your question I am Milly…..now who are you ?” Says the girl, Karan looks back at her, let’s out a sigh and says “Karan….”. Milly nods in agreement and says “good good..now your turn.. considering you are as confused as I am if not more”. Karan looks back the window and after a long pause asks “What year…is this ?” Milly looks at Karan with shock and says “wow…. clearly more….it’s 2050”. Karan stands up straight and starts limp walking towards the window, he looks outside and notices he can still see that gaint hologram. As he is looking at the hologram he whispers to himself “2050…..I was right it’s the future…..but then… How are you alive Sana” Karan turns back to Milly, who is getting a injection ready, Karan freezes for a second. Milly looks up at Karan, she notices the look on his face and says “Don’t worry… that’s not for you… It’s for me… It’s my dinner” says Milly followed by a awkward chuckle. Karan visibly relieved turns back to the window and asks her ” who is she ?”. Milly looks at the hologram outside the window and looks back at Karan with visible curiosity on her face. “That’s Zenna she is a singer… quite a good one ac….” Milly stops mid sentence and starts looking around. Karan turns back to say something but she gestures him to keep quiet, she gets ride of the scarf on her face revealing the lower half of her face, the lower half of her face being replaced by some kind of mechanical parts ranging from her ear to her mouth. Milly look straight back at Karan and tells him ” it’s C….we need to go”.
C is walking down a poorly lit alley, C’s eyes scan the whole alley within a second, people laying on the side of the alley, bearly alive, their body giving up and some body parts not functioning. All of a sudden C hears a window break from the door beside him, without wasting any time he breaks open the door and starts walking towards the broken window at the end of the hall. C reaches the middle of the room and suddenly stops. He starts hearing footsteps running towards him from behind, before he could properly turn around Milly jumps towards him, planting both of her feet on the side of C’s head sending flying through a wall, Milly starts running towards C again and says “miss your eyes ? You blind bitch”. C sees Milly charge towards him and launches his blade towards her. Milly swiftly dodges the blade, grabs the chain attached to his blade, with a strong pull she leaps towards C, who because of the pull falls forward and before he could look up and react. Milly is inches away from him and she lets out a sonic scream so loud and strong that it sends C thought a wall and straight out in the market. Milly flys back to the door C entered from because of the scream, she quickly gets back on her feet and heads out the door. Karan is already outside the door, standing in the alley covering his ears, Milly gestures him to follow her and they both start running to the end of the alley where Milly has parked her vehicle. The vehicle somewhat resembles a bike, they get in it and take off with wasting any time. C eyes light up red, everyone standing around him moves away and C gets back on his feet. A guy looking at the broken wall C came flying from turns to C and says “a higher up coming to a area like this alone and supposedly getting his ass beat.” The guy puts his hand behind his back. “If you point that gun at me I’ll have to kill you” says C, the guys chuckles and says “hmm…still some human in you….still not enough”. The guys pulls out his gun and point it towards C. Before he could pull the trigger C lunches his blade, which goes right through the gun and his palm. Before the guy could even properly scream C pulls the guy to himself and lunches his other hand up grabbing on to a ledge and taking off with the guy. On the roof of this building C pin the guy to the wall with his blade going through the guys shoulder, the guys let’s out a loud scream in pain as C pushes the blade further through his shoulder. “Want to stop this ? Your base now.” Says C, the guy breathing heavily try to swing his leg to kick C, but C moves his shoulder and catches it with ease. C moves closer to his face and says “let’s make you a 100 percent human huh”. C tightens his grip on the guys leg, almost crushing it and lunches his hand ripping the leg from the guys body revealing it was a bio-mechanical leg. As the artificial vanes dipped blood all over the floor and the guy bearly able breathe in this pain C says “the parts might be fake but the blood flowing through them and the pain…..I know thats real…..so the base…now.”
Karan sits on the bike holding the handles on the side as tight as possible he looks down and realizes that they are at such a hight where they can’t even see the ground properly. The skyscrapers tearing through the low hanging smog making the city look like some neo cloud city. Karan is distracted by one of the screen playing an ad for something that looks like a Xbox but the theme color is red Instead of green and at the end the ad reads “GameCube”. Before Karan could give anymore thought the next ad starts playing which is of Zenna’s music video. Karan touches his pocketand the remote making sure its still there. Karan turns to Milly and says “hey…listen I don’t know what I am getting caught up in…but the thing is I am not here for all this…I wasn’t even supposed to be here…. anyways ..now that I am here….I need you to take me to that singer”. Milly with confusion on her face doesn’t reply and speeds up her bike. Karan tightens his grip and loudly asks her “are you even listen me?” Milly doesn’t reply to him again. Karan shouts “HEY!!” before he can say anything else he is distracted by a bright flash of light, he looks forward and he sees a huge skyscraper lit up like a huge party. A 360 holographic video of Zenna’s video playing around the whole skyscraper, bright lights on one of the floors of the skyscrapers filled with people, shouting her name, suddenly all the lights go off and the crowd goes quite. After some moments of silence a hologram half as big as the skyscrapers of Zenna appears, this time with long while hair and a very tacky outfit. The hologram starts singing as it walks around and within the audience. Milly phases right through the hologram heading to the building, she goes to the back of the building and starts heading up vertically on her bike. Karan at this point is holding her instead of the bike, hanging on for dear life. The music starts fading out as they go higher, finally they stop at huge balcony, where Milly parks her bike. It’s cold and darker here, the room this balcony is attached to barely has any light. Milly turns to Karan and says “stand there”. Milly walks into the poorly lit room, Karan turns around to see the view from this balcony. The balcony is so high up that Karan could see the edge of the city from there, Karan walks ahead to the edge of the balcony and sees that beyond the edge of the city its just a black abiss. Karan squeents his eyes as he sees something beyond the black abiss, it’s like another city inside a bubble. Karan steps down from the edge, a voice from behind him says “that’s why I chose this view, people living in this city may forget because they can’t see it from the Inside but….I can.. i choose to remember it….we live in a bubble” a soft chuckle is heard after that but Karan doesn’t respond, he is in shock as the voice he just heard sounded like Sana’s voice. Karan slowly starts turning around, once he is fully face to face with Zenna, they both freeze in shock and Zenna without wasting any time pulls out her gun and points it to Karan. Karan is still in shock as Zenna looks exactly like Sana but older, as Zenna is in her 50s. “What kind of a fucking trick is this ?” Says Zenna as she loads her gun. Karan tries to speak but can’t get a single word out of his mouth. A sharp pain rushes through Karan’s brain again and falls to the ground on his knees. Milly runs up to Zenna lowering her gun and saying “hey hey calme, he is the thing those soldiers were there to collect in the alleyway”. Zenna pushes Milly aside and says “he is trick!”. Zenna turns back to Karan who is on the ground breathing heavily. Zenna walks in closer with the gun pointed at Karan’s head ” why did you tell Milly to get you here ?….. What do you want?”. Karan looks up at Zenna with his eys eyes red and barely manages to say “I was here to save Sana…the girl I loved……the girl that….died because of me……you”. Zenna throws her gun away and picks Karan’s head up by his hair and strikes her knee straight to the side of his face as she shouts “You dare mock my past!? You dare use this face!”. Karan hits floor . Milly runs up to Zenna and holds her back. “You don’t get it…C was hunting him!” Milly shouts at Zenna. Zenna pushes her away and shouts “what if they sent him ?!….you don’t understand….this proves they know who’s leading the rebels!”. Milly goes speechless, she enters a bit of a shock, she turn to Karan as he finally lifts his up from the ground. Milly turns back to Zenna and says “but I saw C attacking him and him running away from C…..”. Zeena stands down for awhile and looks at Karan, she notices his woned on his leg and asks “did C Do that ?” Karan gets on his feet looks at Zenna and nods yes. Zenna turns back to Milly and says “He got his blood”. Milly also nods yes, Zenna thinks for a second. As there is moment of silence Karan says “5 years….. Trying and dreaming to stop yo…….to stop her from getting in that car with me….. Save you…….from me” Zenna’s is pushed back a bit, her eyes slow water up a bit as she tries to keeps a straight face. Karan shragges his shoulders and says “time travel huh?” Karan looks down and awkwardly chuckles. He looks back at Zenna and asks “Can I ask you something ? What happened to me here? Did we have somethi-” Zenna cuts off Karan and says “you died in that car that day”. Karan chuckles looking down at the ground, he looks up at Zenna and says “I am guessing you weren’t interested in doing all the time travel shit.” Karan chuckles again as his eyes start watering up. Zenna turns to the side and let’s out a “sigh”. She starts walk towards the room and says “I need a fucking drink”.
Karan steps in the room, where the only light source was the bar. Zenna is sitting on a stool at the counter, she looks at Karan and waves the glass. Karan starts walking towards the bar and Zenna makes him a drink. She slides the glass across the counter to Karan, as she slides the glass she asks him “so what made you so sure that we had a thing here too ?”. Karan catches the glass, takes a big sip and says “since I got here. twice, I got these flash of memories. My memories but….. It’s not really mine..but now all I remember is this world…all my childhood in my world…gone……… I just met you in them….the world resembles your world more than it does mine.” Zenna looks down at her drink, she picks it up and says “it’s Arjun’s memories.” As she sips down the entire drink. Zenna slams the glass down on the table and says “well you already a lot like him…. Irresponsible and emotional”. Karan looks at here and says “ouch…..wow……well you are nothing like Sana”. Zenna chuckles and gets off the stoll. Zenna walk closer to Karan and with a smile on her face says “you’ll be surprised how much people change when they see the love of their life get impaled and then look at them while they bleed to Death….I mean you should know right ? You look young for someone to go through the death phase and build a fucking time machine to get her”. She get closer and place her thumb on the wonde as she maintains the smile on her face. Karan very spontaneously grabs her hand and pulls it away from his leg “I didn’t built it….I had found a guy who was trying to make one for 15 years before u had even met him” says Karan as he gets up from the stool, chugs down his drink and says “we all have thing we can’t give up on.” Zenna turns away from Karan, she chuckles and says “all it took was two stuck ups to make time travel possible…..suits”. Karan let’s out a laughs, Zenna looks back at him and her smile goes away, watching Karan laugh and hearing him laugh again. “Well once if us had to do it right ?” Says Karan as he is getting his laughter under control. Zenna looks back ahead and says ” 35 years…and you enter my life again…” Zenna stands there socking in the situation. Karan walks up to her, hands her a refilled glass and says “you know meeting you here….it may not be my memory but…….it’s beautiful.” Karan taps his glass to her’s and takes a sip as he walks back to the bar. Zenna looks at the glass, looks back at Karan, sees him for awhile and takes a sip from her glass. There is a moment of complete silence but the moments light with smooth jazz play in a very low volume at the bar. Zenna looks down at her cup down at the glass in her hand, smiling. Zenna puts some of her behind her ear and she looks up in the other room. In the other room she sees a small red alert light going off. Zenna’s pulled out of the moment and heads to the table. She clicks on the alert light going off and it shows a notification saying “intruder in the Sector 26 base”. Milly runs in saying ” they found Redi’s body ripped and thrown off a roof… By C”. Karan walks in. Zenna looks at him than straight to his leg. She look back at Milly and says “he’s hunting alone…hmm….he’s hunting him”. Milly gets confused and asks ” why the fuck him? What do the Green Siren want from him?” Karan points his finger to Milly and says “exactly! They already got the smarter dude.. huh.. now they want me.” Zenna looks at Karan and says “I don’t think the officials know it yet.” Zenna turns back to the alarm light and says “it’s just him.”
There is a huge dark hall, resembling the same one from earlier only much bigger than that one, falling walls and bunch of tables in the middle with 19 people walking around the room and around the table. The room is filled with chatting and walking sounds surrounding the room. Slowly everyone in the room goes quite, till there is only one sound heard, which is of a chain slowing being dragged on the floor. The sound gets louder by the second, it’s stops right on the other side of the door, everyone in the room is looking at the door and has their hands in their guns. A voice from the other side says “I have my weapon lowerd. Don’t point your gun at me or I’ll have to kill you.” The door slowly swings open revealing C standing on the other side with is blade dropped on the ground, everyone in the room is now holding their gun ready to shoot, as one of the guys in room says “you hand is still loaded.” C doesn’t reply and after after second says ” my work is done…this was useless.” A guy in sweating out and looking like he is gonna have a panic attack loads his gun and shouts “don’t you see it! He scanned our faces! He know who we are!” The guy pull out his gun and with in a second C’s knife is pulled back to his hand. C points his hand to the guy as he points his gun at C. The guy pulls the trigger and C lunches his knife. Under a second, a bullet sliced into two pieces fall on the ground then the gun from the guys hand. C pulls his blade back to his wrist and the guy’s body falls to the ground with a hole in the middle of his head. The other people in room freeze their bodies shivering. As C turns to leave, a com at the end of the hall rings, one of the guys standing near the com reads the contact. C stops and turns back to the room and scans it again. By the com’s network he tracks the call coming from Zenna’s room. C’s eye goes red. The guy near the com points his gun at C and shouts “kill him”. With a second there is a shower of bullets in C, he falls back from the door to the dark lobby. There is a moment of silence as the loud gun shot’s sound settle down. There is still smoke coming from the bullet holes on the door and from the dark lobby. C’s hand flies right through some of the guys and grabs the head of a guy in the center of the room. He pulls himself to his and this time which holding a guy’s head. C already has his blade hanging from his wrist, he crushes the head of the person just by his hand and starts waving his blade around the room like a whip. With his other hand he kept crushing their bones or tossing them in the air so he can slice them in mid-air, blocking or sometimes deflecting the bullets. By the time C is done all the walls are covered in blood and the room if filled his dismembered body parts. C gets back on his feet fixes his uniform which mostly ripped apart by the gun shots and sets his location to Zenna’s tower.
Dr.khanna is walking around the headquarters and he notices a dark room. He starts walking towards it and as soon as he gets close to the door Dr.deep’s hologram appears in front of him and says “you are curious about what your dream life would be huh ?” Dr.khanna chuckles and says “well things seem disappointing so far…so….it’s more caution than curiosity”. Dr.khanna walks through the hologram and enters the room. The room has basically no lights other than a din blue light clipping from right. He carefully starts walking towards the blue light in the dark, as he reaches there he sees a small panel. Dr.khanna walks up to its and it lights up a small tube shaped container behind the panel. Dr.khanna is eyes light up as he sees that there is a brain in the container hooked to some wires. Dr.Deep’s hologram appears some distance behind Dr.khanna. “I thought so..” says dr.khanna as he turns back to the hologram. He walks closer to the hologram and says “you look too young to be 85….. Living this fancy life, having all this luxury and yet not coming to terms with death huh?” The hologram walks the rest of the distance, closer to dr.khanna and says “I had lost appreciation for our physical bodies when they introduced digital media…….so long writing and taking note huh………my body stopped functioning and I saved the most important thing in it…….it’s me talking to you right now not just any A.I… I flowing through this entire structure watching everything..all knowing..” Dr.khanna silently looks off in the distance, he eventually turns and says “all knowing other then multiverse travel”. They both chuckle. Dr.khanna looks back at the tube and says ” but that we can agree on…. writing is a amazing thing.” Dr.Deep puts his hand on dr.khanna’s shoulder as if he is able to hold it and says “lucky you can still hold a pen.” Dr.khanna chuckles as dr.deep all of a sudden stops laughing and calls a guard inside. He opens a notification in front of him, as the guard reaches there Dr.deep says “I thought I had ordered C to come back to the base”. The guard says “he has dropped off grid sir”. Dr.deep analysis something and says “send out the Z unit….he is heading to Zenna’s apartment” as Dr.deep pulls up the information for Zenna. Dr.khanna turns and looks at the hologrphic notification and it has a pic of Zenna in it. Dr.khanna turns to Dr.deep and asks “is that Zenna ?” Dr.khanna looks at dr.deep how is nodding in agreement. “Karan is there…the guy with the remote” Says dr.khanna. Dr.deep looks at dr.khanna confused and asks “why her house?”. Dr.khanna looks back at the pic and says “she is the reason he is here or quite possibly why I am here……how does she still the same in 2050?” Dr.deep closes the notification and starts walking forward. “Holograms….she is a singer….being young and hot helps.” Says Dr.deep. Dr.khanna stays silent for awhile before he chuckles and asks “is she also just a brain in a jar?” Dr.deep also chuckles and says “no… She is still considered alive by some people”. Dr.khanna replies “yeah but you are still here talking to me… How much difference can a body make right”. Dr.khanna turns around and starts walking to the door as Dr.deep silently keeps looking at his brain in the tank and says “A lot”.
Zenna is preparing the whole house for a fight, she suits up, with a vest and a knife belt around her waist. Zenna walks up to Milly with a suit. Milly is standing near a shelf of long stick type weapons, trying to select a weapon but her mind is thinking about something else. As she realizes Zenna is coming to her, she asks Zenna “you should leave.” Zenna stops walking, she looks concerned. Milly turns around to Zenna and says “you have been leading us since 20 years.” Zenna finally breaks out it, makes eye contact with Milly and says “2 decades and I don’t plan to leave or die….I just planned to fuck up C” Zenna hands the suit to Milly and says “so stop talking to me like I am already dead.” Milly raises one of her eyebrows up and sercasticly says “if I had a mouth I would be smirking right now” Zenna smirks turns around and says ” the 4th one would help you a lot today.” Milly turns back to the shelf and sees that the 4th one is a long rod with a hook blade at the end if it. As Zenna is just about to step out of the room, she stops and says “plus this is personal. I have to be here.” Zenna turns her head sees Milly taking out the weapon and learning to wield it. Zenna smiles and jokingly shouts “not lettng me die is your job by the way.” As Zenna walks out of the room smiling, her smile disappears as she walks away from the room. Zenna walks into the hall, where Karan is looking out the balcony again and not even trying to prep for C. Zenna picks up a rifle type gun and walks up to Karan to give it to him. Karan is standing with the remote in his hand and looking at the city in the different doom. Zenna sees that he has the remote in his hand and asks him “is that how you go back ?” Karan nods yes and shows her the remote. Zenna shrugs and says “wow…. That’s very compact for multiverse and heavy shit like that.” Zenna also looks at the far of city and says “so you could’ve left anytime you wanted ?” Karan nods yes. Zenna chuckles and says “young, emotional and dumb.” Her chuckle turns into a smile, she puts her hand on Karan’s shoulder and says “your world isn’t bio-mechanical right? Maybe you should… Resume your Marin work again….and when you are a hot, buff 50 year old…. visit maybe.” Karan laughs, there there is a moment of their laughs turning into smiles as they both look off at the city far away. Karan looks back down at the remote and says “you know I could think of better places for a 50 or so woman to live.” Zenna instently looks at Karan, stay silent for a while and then starts laughing. Zenna calms herself down and asks Karan “so tell me where have you reached in a trip down my memory lane ?” Karan holds his head “my head goes for a spin when I try to remember but we were arguing about city security you didn’t want me to approve on the bio-mechanical police and law enforcement.” Zenna’s goes speechless for awhile, she tucks her hand in her jacket and whispers “you are close.” Karan turns to her and asks “Huh?” Zenna looking at the city again says “that’s a very… special night…. We had just fought and you were sleeping on the couch…..and some time later you came in to calm things down because…” Karan interrupts her and says ” because I knew you were right.” Zenna chuckles a little and continues “you came in with the only way you knew on how to calm things down” Zenna takes one of her hand out of her pocket, she opens her palm and slides it towards Karan. Karan looks at her palm and sees a pink metallic lighter. He picks it up and looks up at Zenna who already have a joint in her mouth. Karan laughs as Zenna says “yeah, I think need a bit of calming right now” Karan walks closer to light the joint, as Zenna blows the smoke out of her mouth everything goes dark the whole city’s light is gone. A red light starts flashing from inside the house and Milly runs out to the hall. Zenna looks up at the sky and whispers “hmm.. good time for a light show”. Karan keeps the lighter in his pocket and also starts looking up at the sky outside the Dom. Karan is struggling to see anything so he asks “should we be preparing for a fight instead of looking at nothing”. As Karan says and turns to leave a flash lights everything up for a second followed by a sound of the sky ripping apart. Karan turns back and looks up at the sky which lightening lighting up the entire sky, like it’s alive, a big light stricks the ground in the middle of this city and the distant one, vibrations of which were felt till the building they were standing in. The flashes and the sound of the ripping apart, stricks so big that it made them look like a bunch of ants in a jar. Zenna gives the joint to Karan and says “I am gonna get in the suit ” but as Zenna turns to go in, with a flash C appears in the other end of the balcony. Zenna says “fuck”. Milly and Karan turn to C how is standing with his ripped uniform. Milly steps forward, she slides out the knife from the clip on her thigh. C drops his knife on the ground saying “I just want to talk” he point his other hand at Karan and says “I just want to talk to him”. Milly takes her fighting stance and says ” you killed everyone you came across…..our people”. C puts his hand down and says “they pointed a gun at me after that…..it’s just protocols….I do make sure to warn then tho……you are pointing a knife at me….. Making a lot of Gary area for you here…so put it down”. Milly tightens her grip on the knife and says “your talk can be done form there”. C starts takeing steps forward, as Milly is about to charge from inside Zenna shouts ” Karan you need to leave, you don’t have much time. C is just a curious cat who is about to leave.” C looks to his right, inside the house, where he can see a figure standing in front of the red flashing light almost. Zenna says “don’t worry not pointing any guns at you…..yet”. C looks at the figure and scans it. “You have been in this city since you were born and yet I’ve never scanned you before. Weird isn’t it Zenna”. Zenna laughs and says ” nah what’s weird is that i am gonna point this gun at you and….if you follow the protocol and attack me…you will die…..but if you don’t i tell you… who you are”. C doesn’t respond. Zenna points her gun directly to C’s head. C slowly tries to take a step forward and a knife directly lands in front of his foot. Missing C foot by an inch. C looks down, then he looks at Milly and says “the guns not loaded”. Milly replies with a “hmm” and C looks back at Zenna. Zenna lowers her gun and says “well….how does it feel using your brain again C”. Karan starts walking forward them but a if a sudden the same pain runs through his head and he drops to the ground. C turns around and looks at him on the ground but before he could turn back to Zenna his head gets short circuited and also drops to the ground. Milly runs to Karan who is not completely knocked out. Zenna take a few steps forward as Milly looks up at her and asks “how much time do we have before his memories of his world are completely gone ?” Zenna is staring outside the balcony, Milly turns back and through the flashes of lightning they see a military bus flying in the distance towards them. Zenna loads her gun and says “not much”. She looks at Milly and Karan. “Both of you take him and hide” says Zenna as she turns and starts walking towards her room. Karan gets on his feet and with disbelief his voice says “how ?” Zenna stops walking and after sometime says “we don’t have time….take him and hide”. Karan looks at Zenna, he finds his footing and starts walking towards her saying ” you knew.. you knew why he was following me…for 30 years…” Before he could finish Zenna turns to him and says “30 years I’ve survived…in this bubble trapped with Arjun’s dead body flying around the city and after you press the button on your remote and just vanish to your world and I’ll be here in this bubble now with the military up my ass…. stop telling me what the situation is because I’ve been in it for 30 years. So shut the fuck up, take him and hide before it’s late and all you remember is taking innocent lifes”. Zenna turns and starts walking towards her room. Milly slowly walks upto Karan who is standing there speechless, they both look at Zenna as she leaves the hall. Milly puts his hand on Karan’s shoulder and says “don’t worry she’ll apologize later. She is just stressed”. Karan stays silent for awhile before chuckling, turn around and says “nah, I don’t think she apologises”. Karan head to C who is still on the ground. Milly also chuckles, also turns around to C and says “sure she does, she just has her own way saying it”. They both pick up C and head to a room at tge end of the corridor. Zenna puts a fancy rug over her outfit and walks of her room. The bus reaches closer to the huge balcony, one of it’s door opens and a lean, tall guy wearing a black short collered shirt with his military badges on it, jumps out of the bus and very effortlessly lands on the balcony. He stands up straight and starts walking to the hall but stops at the edge of the hall when he hears Zenna say “you know I have a door”. Zenna is leaned up against the bar, the guy at the balcony with a very uncanny robotic voices”sorry about that…I was sent here to handle an emergency situation”. Zenna lefts herself off the bar and starts walking to the table in the center of the hall, as she is walking to she says “Ouu..exiting…I would’ve to listen but a lady loves her private time so… please get off my balcony”. They guy at the balcony stays silent for awhile and then again with his fake robotic voice says “ma’am I can’t leave you alone, it’s an order….let’s start with introductions”. Zenna takes a seat near the table as the guy asks “do you who I am ?” Zenna falls back in her couch and says “no idea… Tell me”. The guy at the balcony says ” CRANK units recently had an byproduct/upgrade, which is me. The Z unit, we were supposed to petrol together today”. Zenna chuckles and says “you are an upgrade ? Wow when did our military got a thing for minimalism?” Z stays quiet for awhile after that he says “the main difference between me and C would be that I analyse my situations, i start learn from the moment I land feet”. There is a moment of silence before Z asks “you wanna know what my analysis says about this situation ?” Zenna doesn’t say anything, she keeps her hand in a position where it’s easier to reach the gun, she slides her leg under the table and with a more serious voice says “enlighten me”. Z with the same uncanny robotic voice says ” it says”. Z takes a long pause, a moment of silence. Z finally makes eyes contact with Zenna, his pupils glowing red and a smirk on his face, he looks down near his feet where there is a mark on the ground, which was made by Milly’s knife and with a more human and deeper voice says “my analysis is saying cut the celebrity bullshit”. Z steps inside the house and says “30 minutes ago we saw C heading to your house after he went off gird and later we are informed that Sergeant Arjun from a different universe might also be found here” Z stops walking, jokingly laughs and says “I mean wow considering the knowledge we have….that must be a stressful day for you…but yet here you are trying to act in front a robot…so before things get…. intense and I have to search your house I’ll give them a chance to walk out”. Z puts his palms around his mouth and shouts “Karan! We have been informed that you have the remote! And we don’t want to take it from you! Dr.khanna is heading here right now just simple take him and leave!” Karan is in the room with Milly and C still knocked out. Karan grabs the remote him his jacket, unable to make a decision. Milly puts her hand on his shoulder and says “hey”. Before Milly could say and Karan says ” We need to do something!” Milly tightens her grip on his shoulder and says “shhh! Don’t worry I won’t let here get hurt”. Milly starts crawling towards the door, closes her eyes and listens. In a hall Z doesn’t get a reply, so he puts his hands back down and says “huh shame” Z turns to Zenna and says “I’ll have to hurt you now to get him out”. Z pulls out a blade but before he could throw it at her. Zenna flips the table to it’s side with her foot and gets behind it. Z charges towards the table and kicks it so hard that it slide to the end if the hall but Zenna wasn’t behind it. Z looks at the ground for a vent but before he could think anything Milly kicks him across the face directly sending into a wall. Milly gets back in her feet and gets her knife ready, she takes her stance and says “I would recommend getting that punk eyes your Senior has”.
Z steps out of the rubble, he stretches he’s back, takes his fighting stance, smirks and says ” and I would recommend real jaw….I’ll help you get rid of this one”. Milly shouts and charges towards him with her knife upfront, she is quick with her swings and very well trained about how to handle a knife. She throws in a few good swings, kicks and punches but none if them land. Z plays defense the whole time, as he sees Milly is getting slower, he finds a opening, dodges her knife, holds her arm, spins and throws her to the wall. Z turns around and says ” this is a waste of my time”. Before he could take a step forwad, Z leans a bit to the left and catches the knife Milly just threw at him. Before he turns back Milly swiftly rushes towards him, she steps on the wall and delivers a kick to his face as he turn back. Z falls to the ground dropping the knife. Milly lands on her feet and grabs her knife. Z kicks back up and says “aah fuck it”. He charges towards Milly as mill does the same but before she could react. Z swiftly lowers down and plants a punch right in her stomach so strong that it picks Milly off the ground and sends her straight back to the end of the corridor. Milly hits the wall and drops straight to the ground. As Milly is unable to move and struggling to breathe. Z stands up straight, rubs his fist. He looks at Milly and tauntingly asks “you gonna throw up?” Z starts walking towards Milly, as he is walking, he stops near a door and turn towards it. It’s a old classic door unlike the other sliding once in the house and this door is slightly open. Z smile and slightly nughes the door as he is says “you seem to a fan of simpler times Zenna ma’am”. Before he is even half way through opening the door he hears something fire, he try to dodge the shot by trying to close the door but he fails as it was mini luncher. The shot clipped the door, hit Z and created a blast that blew the door and sent Z flying in flames to the middle of the hall.
In the room C finally wakes up, he looks at Karan how is sitting in a chair with his gun pointed at the door. C looks down at his blade and retracts it back to his wrist. As soon as he does that he hears a guns reloading sound and looks at Karan who has his gun pointed to C. “This one is loaded” says Karan as he is starting him down. C affected much by it says “I saw some flashes, memories…but all fuzzy…yours or mine..I have no idea”. Karan lowers his gun, takes a deep breath and says “they are yours… Trust me….you maybe not see it clearly but right now most off what I remember is……your life, your memories….. As why would keeps getting fuzzier”. Karan looks at C and says “it hardly matters to her tho”. Karan chuckles and says “Still fighting for us”.
Outside in the hall Z gets up, most of his skin on the right side of his skin burnt, his uniform still on fire. As soon as he gets up Zenna starts shooting her gun at him. Z quickly rolls behind the same table Zenna was hiding behind. Z touches his burnt skin, breathing heavily Z from behind the table says “I have to says…. As much as I bragged…I didn’t read this situation properly”. Z gets his breathing under control and says “but now I think I am getting a hang of it”. Z quickly turns around, grabs the table and throws it straight towards Zenna. She ducks and bearly dodges the table. Zenna turns back to Z but before she knows it Z is standing right in front of her. Z knocks the gun out if her hand, he grabs her wrist with one hand, with the other he grabs her by the throat. Z effortless rises his hand up lifting Zenna off the ground. Zenna by the support of Z’s hand and delivers a strong kick to Z’s face. Z looks back down at her, unfazed. Z picks her up higher and smashes her on the ground. Z still holding her wrist, leans closer to Zenna and whispers “let’s see which one of em humps out first after this”. Z hold hand up and before she is able to react Z bends her arm in the opposite direction completely shattering her elbow. Zenna let’s out a very painfull scream, before she is even finish screaming, she pulls out a knife and tries to stabe Z right in the face. Z again very effortlessly blocks her swing, as he is about the say something, he senses something. Z dodges and sees a chain right beside his face. The chain stops moving and Z looks where it came from. At the end of the corridor Z sees C’s eyes lit up red. Z smirks, he suddenly hears the sound of a chain again, his smirk disappears and lowers himself as C’s blade flies back to his wrist. Z looks at Zenna and says “I really hoped it was the other one”. Z looka back at C, he puts his hand in Zenna’s neck and says “hey couch…..man this is honestly so disappointing..I wanted all 4 of us to have so many ro-bro-mance stories.” C tries to charge in but stops as he sees placing his hand right at Zenna neck. “Careful….this will be easier than the arm”. As soon as Z looks down at Zenna, she pushes his hand aside, before Z is able to react. Milly puts her arm around his neck putting him in a hold from the back. Milly whispers “I think I am gonna throw up” and as Z’s head is inches away from Milly, she let’s out a sonic scream which makes his ears bleed. Z struggles and tries to hit her with his elbow. Milly see it’s not enough, so she holds his neck tighter and screams so load that it pushes then back and possibly explode Z’s brain as his eyes go blood red. Milly releases her hold and Z’s body drops to the ground. Zenna manages to get back on her feet. Karan finally comes out of the room, he walks across C, as he sees Zenna broken arm be walks up to her and says “I can’t sit inside anymore… You said we had this under control”. C walks out if the corridor. Zenna looks up at C’s face and goes silent for awhile. C also falls silent before breaking out if it, he looks at Z’s body and says “fuck…..we shouldn’t killed him”. Zenna looks at C and asks “excuse me”. C takes his eyes off the dead body, he looks at Zenna and says “Z is a triplet program.. because of which his protocol is divided into 3 stages….. I’ve trained all 3 of them”. C points at the body on the ground and says ” and he was put best bet out of this”
At the balcony the military vehicle’s starts flashing it’s emergency lights. The sirens starts going off in the vehicle and within a lightning flash under the vehicle. There is Z standing, he looks at the body on the ground in the hall, he removes his hat, his hair and facial hair are different. ” Killed First day huh ? Haha…you should’ve shuck with him, at least he wouldn’t have slaughtered you all”. C grunts Zenna manages to pick her rifle with her one hand and asks C “what’s going on?” C says ” there are 3 of them, like brothers. The one we just killed is not made to kill..he wasn’t even trying..but the rest two… brothers are”. Zenna loads her gun and interrupts C by saying “I got it’. Z looks at C, smiles and says “thanks for the introduction couch”. Z takes his fighting stance and says “this is rather exiting first day”. C takes his stance and softly says “there is a military vehicle approaching in 7 minutes filled with Dr.deep’s guards and.. Dr.khanna…..at the first chance you get you leave”. Karan gets a bit tensed, in a very serious voice Karan tells C “I am not-“. C cuts him off and says “I don’t care take Zen to the safe room”. Zenna looks at C as he called her Zen, she freezes as C tells Milly “try not to kill him this time….try to dodge this time”. C releases the blade from his wrist, he charges straight towards Z and Milly follows his lead. C starts using his blade like a whip again as he runs towards him. Z’s dodges all the attacks by his blade, he he didn’t jump around as mush as the last one, his dodges looked effortless and slow, as the was stepping aside or ducking. As C gets closer to Z, they are trading blows and start a brawl. C’s strength only marginally over powering Z but he is faster then C. Milly runs up behind C and leaps over him. She delivers and scream right over Z’s head. Z is pushed down to the floor but he manages to stay on his feet. C takes the opportunity,he grabs his head and lunches his fist which sends Z flying to the balcony. C tires to pull his hand back but before he properly pull it back. Z manges to take C’s hand off his face, he quickly gets his knife out and shoves it in the floor through C’s hand. Milly charges at Z with her knife, she makes a couple of swings but again He dodges them with the same effortlessness, at the back Z sees that C is also now heading towards him. Z grabs Milly’s wrist with one hand, with the other hand he grabs her chin and picks her up, she tries to use the scream but before she execute it. Z crunches her bio-mechanical chin with his bare hands . C gets frustrated lunches his blade at Z. Z quickly takes Milly’s knife and tosses her to the side. Z dodges the blade and throws knife at C which hits him right on his feet. C trips over. Before C could even hit the ground, Z plants his knee right under C’s chin. The was strick so strong that cracks C’s bio-mechanical eye. C drops to the ground. At the corner of his eye he sees Milly crowing away to her bike, leaving a trail of blood behind which is dripping from her crushed jaw. Z starts walking towards Milly, as he reaches closer Milly tries to get up. Milly turns and tries to punch him. Z catches her fist with easy as she doesn’t have enough strength left in her. Z pulls Milly up a bit, he eyes directly in her eyes as she barely manages to keep them open. Z says ” I can tell by your eyes that you looked beautiful before all this”. Hearing his pisses Milly off and she tried to swing with her other hand. Z catches her other hand as well and just pulls Milly to her feet. Z wipes some blood of the blood dripping from her jaw and says “sorry about this…….but..I can fix it…like before all this” Milly is push back a bit by the idea of have her real face again, she realizes her fists from him hands and starts getting angry. As Z is about to say something C grabs his head by his fist and starts pulling him back slowly as he is swinging and smashing him around the whole room. C pulls him back completely, he smashes Z on the ground. C stabs his blade Z’s one arm and keeps his foot on the other pinning Z down to the floor. Before Z could do something about the situation, C starts pummeling Z’s face with his fist. C looks at Milly and says “leave right now..I’ll handle this”. Milly somehow manages to reach her bike, she gets on and flys off the balcony. C watches Milly leave, he stops punching Z, grabs his head and throws him out of the hall into the balcony. C walks up to the balcony. Z tries to get up, as his face is covered with bruses and blood. Z pushes himself off the ground and manages to get on his knee. Z looks at Milly flying off into the distance but something else catches his attention. A military vehicle flying towards them. Z smirks and says “it’s good you sent her away…..Dr.frankenstein himself is heading here”. Z looks at C and asks “how much time ?” C releases his blade and says “enough”. Z gets on his feet, wipes some blood off his face and says “well then let’s see which of his monster survives”. They both charge towards eachother but Z slides under and dodges him. Z leaps towards the knife inside in the hall. Z grabs his knife and instently runs back towards C. They both start brawling, punching eachother, cutting eachother.
In the safe room. Zenna counts till 3 as Karan clips on a device which looks like a elbow pad on her broken arm. Zenna keeps her scream in and instead she just slowly breathes it out. Karan looks at Zenna who is trying to move her hand again, he sit down. And says “pretty sure I was here to help you but …” Zenna interrupts him and says ” to help Sana… You were here to help Sana”. Karan looks at Zenna, chuckles and says “sorry everything just so blurry now”. Zenna, who is a bit pissed by the pain in her hand and the whole situation. She grabs her gun and walks to where Karan is sitting. Zenna crouches down and says “you must have forgotten the accident but I bet you still remember the feeling….you keep blaming yourself…and now you are here ruining my life….I want your to remember that once you get back”. Karan is left speechless after hearing that. Zenna gets up loads her gun and looks at Karan. Zenna thinking that she sent too hard on him says ” hey…maybe next time drink your guilt away rather than building a time machine huh?” Karan looks up at her and slightly chuckles. Zenna smiles. Karan leans back in his seat and says “I think I can stay content with that maybe in some universe I didn’t end up killing you…or myself”. Zenna stay silent for awhile, she lets out a small chuckle and says “try not to stop by them when you go back”. Karan laughs and says “I’ll try my best”. They both share a laugh. Soon Zenna gets up and says “let’s go…it’s almost time”. Zenna starts walking towards the door, she unlocks the door and the door slides open. Karan gets up, he looks at Zenna near the door and tries to say something but can’t get the words out. Karan walks a bit towards Zenna and says ” I am sorry”. Zenna stops as she was walking out the door. Karan tries to continue but before he could say anything else Zenna walks away. Karan let’s out a sigh and starts following her lead. As they slowly walk out of the corridor, they start feeling the thuds and vibrations from the punches Z and C are throwing at eachother. Zenna peaks her head from the corridor to see what going on. In the hall she sees that C has gotten worn out, he isn’t able to land a single punch on Z, as Z is constantly delivering strong punches and knees to his head. Z starts getting more vicious, he delivers a strong punch on the side of C’s head sending him to the floor. Z pulls C’s right arm up and places his foot on C’s head on the ground. Z stabs his knife right in C’s shoulder and twists it. As he is doing that, he lets out a strong scream and pulls C’s whole arm out of his shoulder. Looking at what just happened Zenna comes out of the corridor and starts drilling him with bullets. Z throws C’s whole arm at her. C takes the opportunity and gets his head up, which causes Z to lose his balance. C uses his left arm, stabs Z in his stomach and lunches his blade which send Z back to the balcony. C struggles at first but manages to get on his feet, blood pouring down from where his arm should’ve been. Zenna and Karan run up to him. C turn to them and shouts ” Zen I told you fucking leave….that’s why u sent you to the dame safe room”. Zenna says “and let you die twice…hmm”. C goes silent and calms down a bit. Arjun looks down on the ground and says “you don’t get th-“. Z laying on the balcony, with his whole body covered in blood says “they have his remote..they control us you know…he was saving you.. just like he saved that pretty radio of yours”. C tells Zenna “you should’ve left” as soon as he says that an buzzer starts ringing and a ramp drops down on the edge of the balcony. Zenna puts her gun up. Z with the help of a wall manages to get up. One of the guards walks out with a gun pointed to dr.khanna’s head. Dr.khanna looks beat up, bruses on his face and a band aid around his head. The guard to the middle of the balcony and shouts ” Drop your weapons or he gets shot….so just lower them take him and leave….what’s so fucking hard to understand in that ? Or have you changed your mind about leaving ?” The guard turns to Z and says “arrest C and put him in the van”. Z, who is able to stand by the support of the wall, looks at the guard and then looks at C. Z turns back to his vehicle and says “do it yourself”. Z jumps on the balcony reeling and then on to his vehicle. The guard shouts at Z “listen your fucking remote control bot…do what you are asked to”. Z stops on the ramp if his vehicle, he turns and says “careful…you are no doc with a remote…. wouldn’t want a bot to ripe your head off”. The ramp to the vehicle closes and the vehicle takes off. The guard gets visible pissed. He turns to C, sighs and says “what a fucking mess…..C get in the van if you wants his to end peaceful”. C doesn’t react for a moment, then he looks at Zenna and says “I apologise….for everything”. Zenna looks up at him. C continues “I wouldn’t want to cause you further…issues”. Zenna is speechless. C looks at her for a moment before he starts walking towards the van. As he crosses the guard and dr.khanna. the guard tells him “stand there”. The guard let’s go of Dr.khanna’s coller. Dr.khanna slowly starts walking towards Karan. Karan looks at Zenna and slowly says “I can’t leave you like this”. Zenna doesn’t respond for awhile. Dr.khanna is almost there and is saying “get the remote out… Right now” Karan is still looking at Zenna who still isn’t responding. Dr.khanna finally shouts “GET THE FUCKING REMOTE OUT!”. Karan looks at Dr.khanna and gets the remote out. Zenna finally calls out to him and shouts “Karan!”. Karan looks at Zenna as she says “it’s fine”. Dr.khanna finally reaches there and grabs Karan’s hand in which he is holding the remote. Karan is still looking at Zenna. All of a sudden Karan looks down and realize Dr.khanna pressed the button as the remote was in his hands. Karan looks back up at Zenna and she is able to give him a smile before the same dark red lighting appears and they both are gone.
Zenna is still looking at the spot where they teleported from, before she could turn back the guard days “so now….about you”. Zenna turns to the guard and see that he is pointing his gun to her now. There are 3 more guards getting off the van. C looks around, he looks at the guard pointing the gun at Zenna, leans towards him and says “no..y-” before the guard interrupts him and says “stop moving big boy”. C looks at the rest of the guards, he scans and realizes one of them has the remote to him and he freezes. C quickly looks back at the guard with the gun and swings his blade cutting his hand. The guards hand falls in the floor with the gun. C turns to attack the guy with the remote but rest to step in the middle. C cuts through them easily. The guard with his arm chopped off shouts “RESET HIM NOW!” The guard with his control starts panicking and presses a button on the controller. C freezes, like he was malfunctioning then all of a sudden his eye light goes off and C drops to the ground. The guard without an arm at first nervously chuckles, slowly gets more confident and he says ” HA! All gone…all his memory including this litt-” before he could finish, a bullet flies through his head, blowing his brains out. The hole in his head was huge enough that the guard with the controller could see Zenna pointing her rifle at him through the hole in the guard’s head. As the body drops to the ground, the guard starts panicking again, he looks at the controller and whispers to himself “how the fuck do I turn him o-” before Zenna drills his head with a bullet as well. The guard’s body drops to the gorud and so does the controller to C. Zenna slowly starts walking towards the bodies in the balcony. Zenna stops near the remote, she picks up the remote and looks at it for awhile. Zenna looks at Arjun’s body on the ground, she starts walking to the edge of the balcony and chucks the remote off the balcony. Zenna watches the remote drop down from the skyscrapers till it’s not visible. Zenna pulls out a joint, she turns around and sits in the balcony as she also sparks the joint. Zenna takes a deep long puff.
7th March 2025
In the empty basement. The same dark red lighting appears and suddenly Dr.khanna and Karan are back on the platform. As soon as the appears Dr.khanna drops to his knees, holding his head and shouting in pain. Karan also suffers some amount of head pain, he goes to help Dr.khanna and sees that the band aid around his head is socked in blood. Karan tries to help him but Dr.khanna pushes him away and gets back on his feet. At this point the blood is slowly dripping down dr.khanna’s face, regardless he turns around and starts heading towards the stair. Karan looks at him leave the room, he lets out a sigh and realizes he is still holding the remote. Karan looks at the remote for a moment before slamming it in the ground and stomping on it. Karan finally heading upstairs, he looks around to find Dr.khanna, finally he walks by the hall and see Dr.khanna looking outside the gallery at the trees. Dr.khanna tries open but fails to figure out how to open a simple gallery. Karan looks at him struggle and says ” the chips on the right”. Dr.khanna is a bit startled as he didn’t know Karan was standing behind him. Dr.khanna finally open the gallery, walks out and knees down to see the plants. Dr.khanna touches one of the leafs as there is blood still dripping from his head. Look at that sight, something stricks to Karan. Karan slowly starts walking towards the gallery. As Karan reaches the gallery he asks Dr.khanna “how long they kept you in for ?” Dr.khanna without shifting his attention from the plant says “plenty”. Karan stays silent for a while before saying “sorry about that….you came across dr.deep there ?” Dr.khanna freezes and with a bit of a stutter he says “no I didn’t”. Karan sighs, he grabs Dr.khanna by his collar and pushes him to the ground. Karan pins him down and takes off Dr.khanna’s band aid on his head. Under the band-aid there is a stitch mark, going across his whole head. Karan is a bit pushed back at first, he snaps out of it. Karan grabs Dr.khanna’s neck and asks “couldn’t stay in a jar huh ?” Dr.deep, who struggling a bit to breathe starts chuckling and says “oh..you have all of their memories…. your’s…..C’s..and Arjun’s”. Karan, after listening to that loosens his grip on Dr.deep’s neck. Karan let’s out a sigh, he looks down at Dr.deep who still has his face covers in blood and is still chuckling. Karan gathers enough courage, tightens his grip again and starts landing strong punches on Dr.deep. Soon Dr.deep’s head is nothing but a puddle of blood and Karan is sitting on his couch with ice on his fist.
