Evolution

G-one: (walks out holding two cones in his hands, cheerfully) Butter scotch! It's been some time since I ate one. I am sure she will like it too.

Kajal: (yells from inside) Don't wander away again and head back to your house soon. Understood?

G-one: As you say mam. Have a good night (runs).

Moon: (wiping her face) What are you doing?

Man: (shaking his hand crackling with red sparks due to drops of cold drinks) Liquid!

The air fills with negative aura, red smoke cover the surroundings like fog in a winter morning. The left foot falls in. Moon and Ra-one quickly respond to the foot step to see who it is.

Ra-one: (grins) You!

It belonged to G-one, standing at his place frozen, all confused to what was going on. The drops on Moon's face appeared like tears to him, which he hates the most and the way Moon was wiping it and couldn't keep her eyes open, purely seemed like she was crying. A transformation starts from the man's foot finishing at his top of the head revealing a faceless individual. It was Ra-one. G-one could clearly see the red fog flowing in the air.

Ra-one: I have finally found you. I should have dealt with you sooner. I made a mistake thinking you wouldn't interfere with my work after I beat you senseless. But, humans are stupid creatures, aren't they? This girl, where did you find her? I think she would be a perfect test subject for me the next time. After I deal with you here, I am going to take her for good.

Moon: G-one, wait.

Ba-dum! His heart beats, loudly. The confused look on his face instantly changed into rage. His black pupils turned blue. He crushed the cones in his hands which fell on the ground broken. His eyes stretched as sparks flew out of them over his glasses. Suddenly a huge blast of sparks discharged from his body launching in every direction, it jumped up like a beam toward the sky. This time, the HART spoke.

HART: Evolution. Level 2, charged.

The immense surge of electrical sparks soared through the skies, causing stupid loud sound wave and blinding brightness visible to farther distances. Akash and Piyush bounce on their seats as they hear the sound. Ana, saw the light through the window while reading a book in her room. As usual, Nikita was spending her time at her balcony.

Ana: (looks out)Unbelievable!

Nikita: Another party light. This city is sure feeling free amidst the lockdown.

Mia's glasses reflected the light that came in through the glass panes. She touches her heart like she knew what was about to happen. While Lavangi and Simar, heard the sound sitting in their houses with their parents. The cops held their cars to look at the continues beam, leaping into the sky. Ra-one got confused to what was happening before him. He steps back a little when G-one appears standing to his face. Many behind Ra-one, fell automatically, being released from the manipulation without being touched by G-one.

HART: Acceleration.

G-one: (glaring with sparks flowing out of his eyes sideways).

Before Ra-one could even react G-one catches Ra-one's head and pulls it down striking it with his right knee, he find himself flying away, then rolling over on the ground. He falls flat on the road. G-one jumps from his place over Ra-one and pounds his face into the road with his both hands. He mounts Ra-one and rains continuous strikes on his head pummelling his skull shapeless. G-one stands and stabs Ra-one's guts with his right foot, cracking the surface below.

G-one: (steps away, emitting sparks out of him, eyes completely covered in electricity, sparks jump out of his mouth as he opens to speak) That's my girl you put your hands on. It was a mistake to let you get away that day. It was a mistake choosing to drop my hunt today. It was a mistake to make my Moon cry. I will finish everything, tonight, everything relating you.

Ra-one: (stands, his deformed face heals back, the dent in his guts regrow) G-one! It was never possible to avoid our battle. Do you know why?

G-one: We have been designed that way.

Ra-one: Right. And I am designed to be stronger.

Ra-one jumps behind and condenses a charged orb between his hands and blast it at G-one. G-one dodges it and dashes towards Ra-one. Ra-one continues to throw orbs at him. Dodging the hits, he reaches Ra-one, grabs his right arm and rolls behind him breaking it, then kicks him off ripping the arm with him.

Ra-one: (stumbles ahead and leans on his left arm) You know how to stop the orbs creation for someone who can't create it himself. But you know I can regenerate unlike you, stupid second character (his arms regenerate).

G-one: (throws the arm and it disintegrates).

Ra-one: Since I have already defeated my G-one, I am already at the highest level. You cannot defeat me in your second level...

Before Ra-one could finish, G-one punches Ra-one, as he turns, G-one kicks his knee in and hold his head from behind and smash his head into the ground with a trail of sparks behind. He grabs his foot and swings him around smashing him on the road again. He twists his ankle, and stomps on his head.

Moon: (worried) G-one!

Suddenly a truck speeds up towards G-one. G-one switches his focus towards it. The driver jumps out of the truck leaving the truck running. G-one was about to dodge it when Ra-one grabs his neck from behind.

Ra-one: Hah! If it were only Lucifer to watch over. But will the human G-one let the house behind him be ran over by a truck.

Ra-one pushes G-one ahead as the truck closes in. He jumps over the truck to the other side.

Moon: (Screams) G-one!

Ra-one: Time to take my promising test subject (starts moving towards her).

G-one stands there waiting for the truck. The truck takes him away with it. He tries his full to slow down the truck. He sticks his shoulder to the face of the truck and tries to force it back.

G-one: (yells) Step away.

The area lights up with electrical discharges again. Ra-one gets blinded by the light. Suddenly a huge blue orb hits him through the sawed truck in two halves by the orb. Ra-one falls on his knees and sees the silhouette of a being covered in blue lightning through the falling truck. Ra-one's eyes deceive him as he reads game over in huge letters above the silhouette's head.

Ra-one: No, not yet. It's not my time yet. I can't disappear yet.

Ra-one hardens his legs and jumps away to escape. The lightning tears through the road and catches up to the escaping Ra-one on the roof. Ra-one notices G-one behind him over his head with a condensed orb between his palms. He gets thrown away to distance by the blast. He picks himself up and continues to run. G-one follows Ra-one over the roofs, he breaks a rod emerging out of a roof corner and launches it towards him. The rod pierces through the centre of Ra-one's chest and he drops on one roof. G-one reaches him, presses his neck by his left foot, pulls out the rod, charges it with blue sparks and then drives it through his chest again. Ra-one slowly begins to break into pieces and vanishes into the air. G-one's senses were heightened, he could still see the fog flowing through the air. His scan vision began to show him more than before. People around him, through the walls, plain white figures, and manipulated people approaching him in red colour. He jumps towards the manipulated people on the road and they fall down as they get closer to G-one. As people fell, G-one catches the thread of red fog, and jumps following it.

Akash and Piyush were in panic.

Akash: (operating his laptop) Damn it, what is he doing? He is moving like crazy. What is he upto?

Piyush: (calling G-one) Damn it, it says network error. Don't tell me, he got struck by that explosion earlier.

Akash: He seems alright. But, his speed has increased suddenly. I don't know why. Did something happen to Moon?

Piyush: Moon! Everything was going so smoothly, she had to go and ruin everything. What will we do with her?

Moon: (barges in) Piyush! Akash! (huffs)

Piyush: Moon! (runs towards her).

Akash: (gets up)

Moon: G-one, he has gone berserk again.

Piyush: Again?

Suddenly the truck explodes behind Moon.

Piyush: (eyes reflecting the fire rising from the truck).

Akash: What the! What the fuck did you two do?

Few minutes earlier,

Kajal: (disturbed by all the noise outside) G-one just went out a few minutes ago. What is happening all of a sudden? Shit, this sound, it's loud.

Subhu: (comes) Mam, shall we eat? I am very hungry (notices the lights outside). Huh!

Kajal: Subhu, go see what is going outside?

Subhu: Yes! (runs to the gate)

Suddenly the truck explodes and the flames rise into the dark night. Kajal rushes out to see.

Kajal: Oh my god!

Suddenly they witness lightning pass by before them. They get pushed back by the air pressure caused by that speed. Police cars drifted into the scene.

Cop: (on radio)There is an explosion near Kajal super market. Requesting fire brigade, I repeat, there is an explosion.

Staff: Sir!

Vineet: (On radio) All units, run for the Kajal supermarket, as fast as you can. I want every available unit at the scene.

Staff: Sir, fire brigade is on the way.

Vineet: It's the same direction, isn't it?

Shyam: Live cameras tell so.

Nikita: Geez, it's like a war out there.

Ana: ( stands, looking out of the window) What is that?

Mia: G-one!

G-one jumps into one base breaking in through the roof in G-one stance.

Note:- G-one stance is when G-one lands on surface with his left leg folded and right leg folded slightly lower than that of left leg.

Many minions just fall on the sight of G-one but some still barely manage to stand on their feets because of the long duration manipulation. It doesn't take much for G-one to lay them down freeing them with just a touch. He soon springs away following the fog to another base. Many people see the sparks leaping over the houses even the cops see it roaming about. But they couldn't discern the actual person. G-one keeps turning the bases up and down. Until he reaches the final base. He jumps in through the roof ventilator in G-one stance and slowly stands, showing the minions his back. The dead bodies lying in the corner catch his eyes. His scan vision showed the prompt of deceased. The body smashed together with the table was lying before him at few steps. The minions behind struggle to stand on their feet as they twist their body to get ready for the fight. G-one, angry by seeing the dead bodies slowly turns towards them. He then again sees a bunch of bodies on the diagonal corner. His vision prompts alive. He slowly begins to walk forward. With his distance decreasing with the minions. The minions drop like flies. A spark runs over the alive bodies and rectifies them instantly. He suddenly sees two figures behind the closed door before him. A red figure of man and a white figure lying down being hit by the red figure. G-one dashes leaving a trail of sparks behind. He breaks in through the door and finds a man hitting a child with his belt. The man begins trembling on the sight of G-one and the kid girl had bruises all over her body, barely conscious. G-one's rage shoots out and he grabs the man by his neck and push him into the wall behind. The man spits out blood, then faints. G-one remembers that he was not supposed to kill the civilians as they were being manipulated. He drops the man and rushes towards the kid. He slowly lifts her and tries to wake her up.

G-one: Hey, wake up, wake up sweetie. Please, open your eyes.

He was scared that he might see another child dead before his eyes because of his incompetence. His scan vision display the pulse running through her veins. The girl was out cold as she was barely breathing. G-one gently holds her cheek with his hand, and the positive sensation by the touch cures her and she wakes up gasping.

G-one: (chuckles) Thank you Lord Ram.

Girl: Water! Water! Please.

G-one: ( hugs her) Don't worry, you will get everything you want.

He lifts the girl and runs out of the room. He takes her to a faucet in the corner of the store house and uses his palms to contain water and makes her drink it. He does it few times and everytime his hands produced sparks on water contact. A girl from the alive bunch, was barely conscious and narrowly gets a glimpse of G-one and the sparks being produced. The kid gets some energy and begins to speak properly.

G-one: Hey heartbeat, you feeling good?

Girl: (nods yes)

G-one: Should I take you back to your house? You remember where to go?

Girl: (nods no)

G-one: Do you know someone from the people you see here?

Girl: Yes, father, he was inside, beating me.

G-one: (he looks back at the man who was beating her and then turns) It's okay, I will take you outside, you say if you come across a familiar place.

Girl: Hmm.

G-one: (goes to lift her) Come on then!

Girl: Ahh! it hurts.

G-one: Easy then, just try to hold on to me as good as you can right now. I will not let go, just be at ease, ok heartbeat.

Girl: Umm, ok.

G-one lifts the kid girl in his arms and jumps out of the roof ventilator. After some searching and wandering, G-one reaches the girl's home. He knocks on the door. The mother was sulking alone in the corner. When she hears the knock, she goes crazy and rushes for the door. As she opens it, she finds G-one standing with her daughter in his arms. Her daughter slips down of G-one's arms and runs for her mother. She hugged her and begins crying happily.

Girl: (groans) Mommy!

Mother: (sees bruises all over her body) My girl, who did this to you? Oh my god!

Girl: Father did this to me. He made me meet a faceless man. He touched my head and I fell asleep. When I woke up, father was beating me. I cried, but he didn't stop.

G-one: (thinks) Ra-one must have applied manipulation on her as well. Then, she must have gotten her senses back due to a shock caused by all the rough treatment in the mid way. That scum!

Girl: Mommy, this big bro helped to save me.

G-one: (crouches and pets kid's head)

Mother: (grovels) Thankyou, thankyou very much. I am so very grateful to you. I will be in your debt my whole life.

G-one: Get my little sister a good meal, she is very hungry. She must have not eaten for very long. Tend to her wounds as well. Take care of her and be sure any debt you owed me is paid.

Girl: Yes Mommy, I am very hungry.

Mother: (wipes her tears, smiles) Yes, I will. Rest assured.

Her smile hits G-one, it sends a sense of accomplishment through his entire body. He gets up and turns.

G-one: And yes, your husband is safe as well. Police will contact you tomorrow. So, keep that smile on your face (walks out).

The mother and daughter see as G-one walks away.

At the truck explosion site, the fire brigade was working to extinguish fire. While police cars were held at a distance, cops were looking around the place for some clues and helping the freed man lying on the road to the ambulance.

Cop: (on radio in his car) The explosion fire is being dealt with sir, and there are more people lying around. We are helping them to the hospital. We even discovered sparks over some houses but couldn't make out who or what it was.

Vineet: (throws the radio) Shit! Shit! Shit!

Shyam: Cool down, it is not over yet.

Vineet: We missed another chance. If this carries on, we will encounter another tragedy like that of dead waste.

Shyam: Speak good my man, speak good. I won't be able to handle something like that again. I was already over that, you made me remember it again.

Vineet: You sure get over things quickly.

Shyam: That's what I learned from all my exes.

Kajal and Subhu were stunned standing at their gate by all the ruckus.

Kajal: (soulless eyes) Shall we go and eat our dinner?

Subhu: (soulless eyes) I have been waiting for you to say that.

They both walk inside.

G-one stumbles down at the door of his room. Piyush and everyone was waiting for him.

HART: Level reset.

G-one begins to drop but Piyush and Akash hold him.

Piyush: Easy my man. Easy.

Akash: Bring him in.

They drag him inside and throw him on the bed.

Moon: (covers her face) G-one! No! Is it because of me?

Akash: Shut up! This is not because of you.

Piyush: Yeah, that guys is psycho himself. He can't control his rage, we all know. He is even worse than me.

Moon: (begins to cry).

Piyush: Hey hey, stop it now.

Akash: Moon! are you Stupid? If he sees that he will beat us to a pulp as well (wipes her tear off).

Piyush: Come sit here with us. We will tell you some of his childhood idiocies.

The three sit on the couch chatting and remembering some old days.

Some where in the city, a red HART was sitting below a electricity pole. Suddenly it begins to shine blood red and pulls electricity from the wires above. Slowly, the body of Ra-one recreates itself. The HART rises and hangs in the mid air, completing the figure. The faceless character with gleaming red eyes stood there, clenching his fist and then screams out in despair through the darkness.

The next morning...

G-one wakes up and sees Piyush and Akash sleeping to his right and Moon on the couch. He gets up and goes to Moon. He crouches near her face, stares at her for a while, then runs his right palm over her cheek. He sees some traces of crying, which she really did this time, but G-one thought it was because of Ra-one last night. He stands and goes towards the washroom, looks himself in the mirror. He notices that his pupils have permanently turned light sparkling blue. He gets closer to the mirror and widens his eye lid to look properly. There was no doubt, what once used to shine only when he activated his power has now permanently accepted the blue color. He goes out and brings his glasses, wears it and checks. His blue pupils were not clearly visible through the glasses, but upon closer look, even the glasses couldn't contain the sparks in the blue sea of his pupils.

G-one: (takes off his glasses, sighs) Atleast glasses will hide some of the light coming from my eyes. What the hell! The evolution, or what, I think that's the reason it won't revert back to normal anymore. Well, people can use contact lenses, right. This excuse will work I guess.

Akash wakes up to a song coming out of the bathroom.

Piyush: ( changes position sleeping) He is singing again. I like this song.

Akash: Wake up then, who is gonna cook today?

Piyush: Give me some time, I slept late last night.

Akash: Everyone did. Atleast give an exclusive excuse, damn it (goes to brush his teeth).

Moon wakes up and follows Akash to the washroom.

Akash: Hey Moon, good morning. You are up early (picks up the brush).

Moon: Hmm! (pulls her brush) Couldn't sleep soundly because of all the things that happened last night.

Akash: It sounds like he did sleep comfortably. Listen him sing. He does have a good voice though.

Moon: I noticed that too. He really learned some music coming to this realm.

Akash: Please brush your teeth properly, goddess. And he was always here, in this realm.

Moon: You don't know anything.

Akash: You don't know anything.

Piyush was lying lost in his dreams when his phone chimed. He turns his phone, drowsing, struggling to keep his eyes open. He sees a photo on his screen. It was a picture of Lavangi, dressed in a seductive outfit.

Piyush: Wow, really. What a wonderful day! My morning just got sexy. I hope this dream comes true (turns his face to the other side).

He jumps up as he realises it isn't a dream. He checks his phone again.

Piyush: (looking at the picture) L..L..Lavangi.

G-one: (comes out rubbing his head with the towel) Huh! What about Lavangi?

Piyush: (Flustered) Stay back, this is for me.

G-one: Huh! What the fuck! For you? Wait, did she send you something?

Piyush: (sweats) No, no. What are you saying? She is not on my insta.

G-one: You think I am stupid. She has your number, doesn't she? She must have your WhatsApp contact.

Piyush: I don't use whatsapp. Hahaha! incorrect, crazy shit.

G-one: The hell! I saw you sending photos of us over WhatsApp to your mother the other day.

Piyush: Ya, I uninstalled it after that immediately.

G-one: Why you, (lunges towards him and grabs him trying to snatch his phone) bastard.

Piyush: (protecting his phone) Get away, crazy fuck. What the hell!

Akash and Moon were brushing. Moon spits and rushes out with brush in her hand.

Moon: You mad dogs started your fighting again.

Akash: (walks out brushing with disappointed eyes)

G-one backs off and pulls his t-shirt.

G-one: I am sorry. I was just curious. I thought he was trying to hide something.

Moon: Go get something cooked, idiot. (To Piyush) And you, get yourself freshen up, lazy bum (goes back in the washroom). They never learn.

Piyush: (checking his phone and finds that photo was deleted from the other side, whispers) Damn it. Why would she do this now?

Akash: (still looking at them with disappointed eyes, brushing his teeth).

G-one: What are you looking at, punk? You too do such things sometimes. Get your face washed up or I will shove that brush in.

Akash: (shows middle finger and walks in)

G-one: Pfft!

Suddenly another message drops in, but this time from Simar. Another appealing image, leaves Piyush's mouth hanging. He senses G-one glaring from behind. He quickly swipes the notification out. G-one jumps at him and they start messing again. Moon smiles after seeing G-one return to his normal self again. Akash shoves her by his shoulder gently asking what happened. She nods nothing. Piyush suddenly notices G-one's eyes amidst the struggle.

Piyush: (holds) Hey, you are using your powers against me. The fuck!

G-one: Bitch! I don't need any super power to peep into your phone, bitch!

Piyush: Hold on, then why are your eyes shining? Look at those blue gems.

G-one: (slowly backs away)

Piyush: Don't tell me, they are not reverting back.

G-one: Last night, I lost my normal pupils. I don't know what to do.

Piyush: Crap! (gets closer) There are sparks crackling inside.

G-one: Visible only if you focus close enough.

Piyush: Damn it, what are you gonna do about it?

G-one: Well, the glasses can reduce the glint atleast. But can't do anything about the colour though.

Piyush: No other choice, we will have to say that you put on some contact lenses.

G-one: That's the same thing I came up with too.

Piyush: But, don't you think it will be a little weird?

G-one: Wearing glasses over contact lenses?

Piyush: Then you do realise the anomaly. Well then, what's the plan?

G-one: (sigh) People do have their preferences. I like to wear goggles, that's it.

Piyush: Who knows where this alien came from?

Akash: (wiping his face of a towel) Who's the alien?

Piyush: That's what people are gonna say.

Akash: Huh! About whom?

Piyush: About G-one. Who else.

Akash: Well, technically he is not a normal human, you can say he is an alien.

Piyush: Let's see how he hides this.

Akash: He won't be able to hide this tall body of his. But, what is he going to hide specifically?

Piyush: His eyes, they have turned into constant blue.

Akash: No way, you must be joking right. They are not turning back?

Moon: (comes out) Why are you all freaking out about it? Like you didn't know.

Piyush: Excuse me? We knew his eyes could turn blue on occasions. But now they are not going back.

Moon: Turn blue? What are you talking about? His eyes were always blue. Don't play stupid games early morning. I am going for the bath (walks away).

Akash: Always blue! Aren't her eyes the only ones which have always been blue?

Piyush: She is crazy. She is saying that she never saw G-one's normal eyes. Like hell. Most of the times he had that colour. How could she even miss it?

Akash: Hey, what actually you did last night?

G-one: Well, I am going to cook right now. I will tell you about it on the way to college.

Akash: (follows G-one) What will it be this morning? I am not gonna cut onions that's for sure.

G-one: Fuck off, bitch, you not your soul will cut.

Akash: Onion sucking jerk.
