Chapter 19 Characters:-
1. Troy
2. Siddesh
3. Han
4. Melo
Previously, Siddesh and Troy saved Han and Melo, but Kito shot Phan. During this, Arthur was brought to mine grounds, and Prison Guard 1 knocked him out.
(Siddesh carried Han and Melo in his arms, and Troy carried the injured Phan in his arms with a lightning trail, at a speed that prison guards can't follow them. They stopped near a water body, and Troy placed Phan on the ground. Han and Melo went near Phan and tried to bring his consciousness.)
Melo: Wake, Phan. Wake up.
Han: Yeah. And see Melo, Phan is bleeding.
Melo: Yeah, Han, this is bad. We need to do something.
(Han rubs the palm of Phan, and Melo approaches Siddesh and Troy, who are standing aside)
Troy: Now, no one could interrupt us. So please, answer me... Where are my friends? Where are we....
(Troy continues to ask his questions)
Siddesh: (thinking), if I hadn't given the task to teach him the powers of the lightning element, I would beat him up right now.
Troy: Now you are ignoring me? Hey... I am right here....
Siddesh: Okay, then I'll answer all your questions.
(Just as Troy was going to get all his answers.... Melo interrupts them.)
Melo: (begs Siddesh) Broc Sir, I need your help.
Siddesh: We did only. If we hadn't brought you away from him, you both may have faced the same consequences. And he tried to sell us. This is only the payback he is getting. And Troy, I'll answer all your questions when you master your lightning element. So first, try to catch up with me.
(Siddesh runs with leaving a lightning trail. Just as Troy was about to go, Melo fell to his knees)
Melo: (begs Troy) Sir, please. I beg you. I know we tried to sell you, but please, my friend will die...
(The word die echoes in Troy's ear. Troy stumbled. Siddesh notices that Troy isn't near him. So he ran back only to see Troy shaking.)
Siddesh: What happened, Troy? Maybe, your body has not adjusted to the lightning element yet....
Troy: Where is he....
Siddesh: Whoo...?
Troy: Take me to him.... now...
(Melo takes Troy near Phan, whereas Siddesh stays behind)
Siddesh: (thinking) no.... no.... no Troy, you must not become soft...
(Troy sits near Phan, who is shot, and sees Han rubbing his Hands)
Troy: ummm... You (points to Melo) bring me water to clean the area, and you (points to Han) bring me some dry wood and some thin stems.
(Han goes into the forest to bring some dry wood, and Melo gives water from him water. Troy asks Han to light the wood on fire while he and Melo clean the area with water and a Handkerchief. Troy notices that Phan has been shot with a bullet.)
Troy: (thinking) a bullet!... How could I remove that?
Siddesh: (tosses tweezers to Troy) Here, Troy, use this.
Troy: (grabs it) Thanks.
(Han brings dry wood and stems. Troy asked Melo to slice down the stem to decrease the thickness and Han to light a fire. Dry wood catches fire. Troy heats the tweezers to kill the bacteria and dips them in water to cool them. Troy orders Han to rub Phan's palm and Melo to hold Phan's legs. Troy again cleans the area and now inserts tweezers to remove the bullet. Troy removes the bullet, and the bullet surprises Han and Melo.)
Han: (thinking) Bullet? But how? Kito aimed with the V9 laser.
Melo: (thinking) I can't believe he scooped down that much.
Troy: Well, the bullet is out, so I guess there's no need to worry... I just need to stitch this...
(Troy tries to stitch the wound with the thin stems, but the stems just break down)
Troy: (removing the tiny stem particles) Why is this happening? He taught me to stitch wounds like this.
Siddesh: You will just make it worse. (Tosses a heal pack)
Troy: (grabs it) What's this?
Siddesh: It's a heal pack. Stick it to the wound, and the bleeding will stop.
Troy: If you had all of this, then why didn't you give me before?
(Troy sticks the heal pack on the wounded area. The bleeding stops.)
Troy: Now, I guess the bleeding has stopped.
Melo: (thanking) Thank you, sir. Thank you. Today you saved my brother like a friend.
Siddesh: You owe us one, right?
Han: Yeah.... we owe you...
Siddesh: So, repay that... tell me why you guys tried to sell us....
Han: ummm.... You know ---- we thought we could ----- by selling you both, so ---
Siddesh: What was your name.... umm yeah... Han... so Han. If you don't spill the beans, then I'll remove the heal pack from your friend.
Troy: No... Siddesh....
Han: Broc sir.... please.... no...
Melo: Han, we could trust them....
Han: Melo.... umm, Gentlemen, could you spare us a moment?
Siddesh: Yeah.... sure, but be fast....
Troy: (whispers) What are you... a demon? Trying to trade a truth with life....
Siddesh: (whispers) See, they both are hiding something.... I am just trying to help them.
(Melo and Han go a little away from Siddesh and Troy and whisper something. They agreed on telling them the truth and coming near them)
Melo: So, we are....
(Phan coughs blood.)
Melo: What was that?
Siddesh: Cool down, both of you. We have just slowed the flow of blood. The Heal pack will lose its ability in approximately. 20mins.
Han: You said that this would heal Phan... so you were lying, huh...
Siddesh: We are losing time... if we do nothing, he could die... so, spill the beans now.
Melo: Umm, if that's the case, then let's take Phan to one of the refugee camps. There's a physician who could heal him.
Han: The nearest one is 7.
Siddesh: But first, tell me the reason behind all of this.
Troy: Siddesh, you want to know the reason, right? Then let's do one thing. I will take Phan and go with Melo to where the physician is... and you both do whatever you want....
Siddesh: But... wait, Troy.... you don't need to...
Troy: Let's go, Melo.... Tell me the directions.
Melo: (running) Troy, take a right and then left and then straight till you see the gate. Stop at a distance from the gate.
(Troy takes Phan and Melo with him on the lightning trail)
Siddesh: But Troy, you went all alone in a mysterious place.
