Chapter 55 - Arya is alive/ A new hero arrives/ Carl Vs Arya.

 And far away with Supriya, she was reporting the rescue and evacuation work done by the government, and she showed the difficulty and panic among people, and then she explained what the military was doing to stop him, and then she talked about Krish. She paused, and then said, he hasn't shown up yet, and then he wished him good luck, and she hoped he is ok. And then she talked about the effort of the military and Dr Rohit Mehra. And Dr Arya who was still in front of Rohit's building, saw this news from a big screen on the building nearby. 

And he vanished, and soon he was in the sky, and beneath him was the refuge, his eyes landed on Surpirya, 

He descended down, gaining everyone's attention. Everyone panicked, and started to run away, Arya ignored them, and looked at Supriya, who was now alone, holding a mic. 

People were fleeing, and so everyone, military was trying their best to come forward, and Supriya was also a little shaken, and the cameraman had also taken several steps back, but still faithfully recording the whole scene. 

 Both Dr Arya and Supriya were looking at each other. 

 And far away with Krishna, he was helping an old couple enter the rescued bus, when he felt something, he looked back, and felt a very familiar breath. Krishna's eyes flicker, and as he looked around, he helped whoever he could, and slowly started to walk in that direction. 

And with Arya and Supriya, they both Looked at each other, the area now mostly empty, some military people aiming their guns at him, the cameraman was still doing his duty, making this event live, which soon garnered the attention of everyone, it was on, TV, bulletin board, news, YouTube and everywhere there was a screen. 

Dr Arya cleared his throat, and said in a low voice. 

" Long time no see, Sups." and Supriya, still tense, replied. 

" You as well, Proffeccer, I thought you were dead." And he didn't say anything in return, and stood there silently for a while, and then slowly walked forward 

" Where is Rohit, Supriya." And Supriya instinctively took a step back, but before she could take more, her ankles were tied to the ground. And several people seeing this started to panic. 

" I'm not gonna ask again, where is he hiding?" and he went close to her, and lifted her by the neck. And soldiers around them started to panic. 

" Where is he? Sups, I'm not gonna ask again." And she said 

" I don't…..know." She replied, her breath shallow. 

" Ohh, maybe then your boyfriend knows that then." And he threw her on the ground, and waved his hand. The ground seemed to come to life, and a boulder appeared, in the air made out of dust and stone. 

" I hope he comes to rescue you." And he tossed the Boulder on her, she closed her eyes, many people screamed. Supriya waited for the impact, but it didn't come, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw a person's shadow over him, and she heard an unfamiliar voice. 

" Sorry, but her boyfriend isn't here, maybe you can ask her friend for that." And the figure in white tossed the Boulder away. 

" My name is Charles, Charles Carlton Jr. You can call me Carl." And everyone froze, Supriya was surprised, and looked at the person in front of her, he was wearing white combat armor, with silver and black high liners on it, his face clear in the sky. 

He looked back, and gave her a charming voice. 

" Are you ok madem?"and she subconsciously nodded. 

" You may like to stay away from this." He said and looked ahead, at Dr Arya, who was standing there, unfazed. 

" Dr Arya, we can talk this through, what-" But before he can finish that, he is launched into the sky by Dr Arya, and he follows suit. And Carl Midair controlled himself, and punched him far with a sonic boom. Dr Arya was knocked back so far that he wasn't visible. Carl, seeing he had time, landed down and ordered people to stay away from her, he went to Supriya, and asked if she was ok? Which she replied by asking. 

" Who are you?" And Carl has an amused smile on his face. 

" Me? Didn't I tell you before? I'm Carl, I'm a scientist. Don't you know?"

" No not that, I mean why are you doing this?" 

" This?" And he smiled. 

" Because I'm a hero, and it's my duty to help people." And after saying that, he looked at the sky, and saw Dr Arya rising up again. 

" You may take a step back." And she did, he looked up at the sky, and jumped, making the ground crack, and he launched himself in the sky. 

And after he left, Priya was left alone thinking. She was still a little dazed after this, her cameraman nudged him. 

She got back to her senses and informed everyone about the events that happened, and everyone came to know a person, Carl, who went head to head with Dr Arya, to save people. And people all over started talking about it, and in White House, the president looked at everyone, there was a dead silence there. 

" Who is he? Why do I seem to hear his name?" and one of them replied. 

" He was…He was in charge of this whole project sir, and he is the one who made the semi-finished serum." And the president became silent. And after a moment said.. 

" Find out about him." And in Mumbai, two figures collide, making a huge boom that even Supriya felt that. 

 And with Carl and Arya, they come back close again, this time using punch and fist. And all the way, Carl was in the forefront, beating the old man left and right and to his surprise, Arya wasn't fighting back at all he was just defending. Carl frowned, and stopped fighting in midair, and punched Arya to the ground. He landed in a sparsely populated area, which was now empty. He looked at Arya who wasn't injured at all. And he stood there like a mountain, surrounded by clouds of dust.

" Confused, little kid?" And Carl furrowed his eyebrows. And before he could say anything, he heard his voice behind his ear. 

" You'll be." And he felt a pressure hitting him , he flew back, and hit several buildings on the way, and stopped while hitting a wall behind and fell back to the ground. He groggily stood up, dusted his hair, and said in a light tone. 

" Get a biological force field check." And he raised his hand, and grabbed a fist aiming at his face, cracking the ground below. 

" Second, I don't feel fear." And he punched back, but Arya also caught that. 

They struggled, Carl was struggling, Arya was calm. And seeing this, Carl became furious.

" You.." And he started to absorb his life force, and Arya, feeling this frowned, pushed him with force, and Carl flew back like a meteor. Dr Arya looked at his hand, and it was aging! No, it was whitening. He was whitening. 

" Life force!" Dr Arya exclaimed, little surprise. 

" You know, it took a whole day to understand what life force is, and how to generate it. It was pretty difficult, and by the way, thank you for reviving me kid." And he looked at his withered hand, which blurred, and fixed back itself. And Carl once again punched at him, but Arya easily dodged it, and dodged several more in succession. 

" Very good kid, but not good enough." And he grabbed his wrist, and punched him hard in the ground, and this time, he used his power, and buried him deep underground. And said lightly. 

" Let's see my old friend." and he started to expand his domain. And soon it reached the whole city, and he raised his eyebrows. 

" I've become better." And he looked down at the pit. And a little further away from it, Supriya saw the domain expanding again, and her face wasn't good looking. And she reported this on the news. 

 

 Arya scanned the entire city, but found nothing, so he decided to do what anyone would do in this situation. 

" Burn the haystack to find a needle." And he was about to use his power, when he felt something, and the ground below him exploded, and an angry Carl came down from the ground. 

" You made my hair messy." And Arya didn't take it seriously. 

" You made me angry." and he rushed forward, and grabbed his wrist and punched him, but something interesting happened. As soon as he punched him, he duplicated.

" What the.." And before he could do anything, the double team started to have an effect. And when he punched another one, nothing happened to him at all, and seeing this, Arya uses tricks. 

He waves his hand while flying above the city, and and from thin air, water balls appear, and he starts to destroy its atom, transforming it into a bomb, and throws it to those two. And it exploded above a bridge, and the bridge started to fall, and several people started to fall in the river. Carl flew back , and looked at the falling cars and people, and decided to ignore them. And rush forward to attack . And back there on the bridge, a very fast figure was running back and forth, saving people. 

 And far away, with Arya and Carl, now they were having a hearty battle, whenever one was hit, another took his place, and even Arya started to feel frustrated. Punch after punch, block after block from air to ground, everywhere was there battleground…. 

 Arya decided, it's time to stop playing, and he moved his hand towards him, and his body started to turn dust, and slowly dissipated. And seeing this, Car frowned, and looked at his hand, he felt that.

" Biological field check again." And Carl used his brain, and started to rotate his body, and so does his body duplicates. And Arya looked at this scene. He frowned, and looked at the ground below, and it was way high from the sky. 

" Time is wasting." and they started to hit Dr Arya from all sides now. 

" Ok… ok.. Kid, you are playing too much."and after this, a domain expanded, and all the Carl started to move back, and slowly started to disintegrate. 

" His powers can even break atoms." and Carl took several steps back in the sky, and he felt sting all over. 

" Then, let's distract him." And he punched palm, made a kungfu pose, and he started to multiply. 

 Several figures flew and surrounded Dr Arya from all sides. 

" Is this supposed to hurt?" He said looking at the disintegrating clones of his, and felt pain like ants crawling. 

" Playing games kid?" Asked Arya sharply. And Carl didn't take his sarcasm to heart, but couldn't stop his mouth. 

" Yes, and I don't talk to dead people." And Arya was first to be active. 

 He moved his hand, and several water lines appeared, and tried to grab every carl clone, but some escaped, and those who escaped came from all directions.Arya dodged but one in the top managed to hit him down, and he started to fall down. 

" Long range attack methods Check." And the original body dashed forward, and hit Arya from up, falling faster, and from behind another Carl punched him launching him upwards, and original Carl grabbed his leg, and spinned him in several circles, and tossed him to the ground. Arya crashed down on the ground making a huge pit. There were still people, running away from it. Carl landed and looked around, and saw several people fleeing in panic, screaming in fear. 

" Don't panic, everything will be ok. You all leave quickly." And there in the ground, Dr Arya walked out from the crater, unharmed, unlike Carl who looked a little embarrassed. 

" You can not stop me kid. I'm grateful for your help, but not that much. You are thinning my patient's kid. I don't want to play this hero game. I'm not a villain, and you are not a hero. You are just a kid trying to act cool." and after hearing this, he snapped. And launched forward, and their fists collided with each other, making a loud boom with a shockwave. They both were in a stalemate, Arya looked at him, his eyes calm, but Carl wasn't calm, he was angry, and decided not to go calm anymore. 

His fist growled white, and Arya noticed his glowing fist that was connected to him. He frowned, he was above doing something, but it was late, the fist that was connected, exploded, and it was a medium explosion. And Arya was flown back, hitting the building behind. Carl rushed forward, and lifted him up, taking him through the building floor, not caring about people living there. 

 Carl raised him high, grabbing his neck. His other fist glowing white and punched Arya with force. An explosion happened, Arya was flung higher, Carl followed soon, both fist glowing, his face resolute and angry, each punch making an explosion after being hit, making Arya unable to stabilize himself, whenever he try to control himself Carl came from nowhere and punched him with an explosive punch making him rise and rise.
