Chapter 2 - WAR

Rohan came charging at Sameer and tried to grab his throat, Sameer easily pushed his hand away and kicked his torso.

Rohan found himself flat on the muddy soil, Sameer got over him and grabbed his face, pulling him up. Rohan's head was slammed into the tree bark again and again and again. Rohan was shocked to see this, Sameer was stronger than him, clearly much stronger. This was no competition, if it goes on any longer, Rohan would end up dying.

The sirens were heard, the police entered through the camp gates. Two officers inspected the dead body and immediately called for more force.

From the hole on the wall, one officer saw the two beasts fighting down there and immediately pulled out his gun and called for other officers to follow him.

They slowly creeped down until they were close enough to the two.

Sameer pinned Rohan down on the ground and was about tear his heart out.

"Stand down! Put your hands where we can see them or we shoot!"

Sameer slowly stood up and turned around to look at five policemen aiming their guns right at him. His eyes narrowed.

The policemen were caught off guard when Sameer reached one of them faster than they could react or see. They just turned to look. Sameer had already stabbed the officer with his hand.

The moment Sameer pulled his hand out, the officer dropped dead. Rishi and Karan were watching this from above. Sonali held onto Karan's arm, hiding behind him. Siya stood right beside Rishi, her mind going crazy with what she was seeing. No one knew how to process this all.

The next thing these four and the other students witnessed was Sameer killing all the officers one by one. Rohan stood back up and looked right at Sameer. Sameer looked back at Rohan and smirked.

"I cannot imagine the joy I'll feel when I kill you!"

Sameer said with a haunting tone.

Rishi jumped down onto the slanting ground. Siya tried to pull him back but couldn't.

Rohan charged right at Sameer but Sameer dodged and managed to catch his throat right into his hand and pinned him on the ground again.

As Sameer lifted his hand, Rishi reached down. Karan jumped and chased after him. Rishi saw a gun from one of the officers and grabbed it.

Sameer pushed his hand through Rohan's chest, stabbing him. Rohan's eyes widened as he felt his breath giving away to death. Rishi aimed the gun right at Sameer.

As Sameer pulled his hand out, Rohan's eyes closed as his life faded away. He stood up and turned around, Rishi pulled the trigger.

Even an enhanced superhuman of Sameer's level cannot be faster than a bullet. The bullet went right through Sameer's head and he fell on his back. Rishi breathed heavy as his hands shivered. Karan paused in his way as his eyes widened.

"Now what?"

"What do you mean? It's perfect!"

"Perfect? How?"

"The test wasn't for the bully and the nerd at all. It was for Rishi! Recruit him!"

"You should've told me so!"

--------

Karan fell unconscious.

Siya, Sonali, all the other students, teachers, the nurse, more policemen entering the camp, the camp guides, all fell unconscious except for Rishi. He looked at Karan and rushed to him, panicking.

"KARAN!?"

He was both confused and panicked.

"Good evening Rishi!"

Rishi's eyes widened, as he felt chills in his entire system. He stood up abruptly and turned around.

The man looked tall, and well built. He was wearing a black suit, black shirt and a red tie. His hair were white and skin looked tough from experience.

"Who the hell are you?"

"You can call me Adyant! I am here to give you an offer."

"What offer?"

"Superpowers!"

Rishi would've laughed at those words any other day of the week, but, what he just witnessed told him that Adyant was serious.

"Why did you do this to Sameer and Rohan?"

"Rohan was a bully, Sameer was the bullied. These dynamics are easy for us to exploit. We turn two people into warriors and make them fight. As they fight, they grow and get stronger. The one who is more compatible with the energy, wins and then he can either join us, or die!"

"So if I refuse to join you...."

"You die, and so will your friends!"

"What if I accept?"

"You gain powers, and join us. We alter the memories of everyone you know and make them forget about your existence. The ones who met each other through you, will also forget each other. It'll be as if you never existed."

"Why me?"

"I don't know! I mean, why would he want you without testing your compatibility with the energy? But he insisted!"

"Who's he?"

"Join us and find out!"
