Chapter 30 - Finale

And in the deep space, Krish has reached a part where in front of him was just sun and nothing else, he was really close to it. He looked at his small friend who was not so small if he had to say anything, it was massive beyond understanding. He looked at Carl who was floating in space and gently pushed him towards him, and Carl started to drift towards the sun, and he watched him going away, his back facing the earth, his face looking at the massive sun. Krish who always looked calm and composed now looked tired. Not physically, but mentally. He looked back where he came from, and only a small dot the size of rice grain where Earth is located, it was so far away, and so small.

He sighs in tiredness, and slowly closes his eyes in the glaring sun, and slowly starts to drift away, his bio field providing him more than enough energy to stay alive in outer space. He floated aimlessly letting gravity take its course, he wasn't even a small dust compared to the sun, but his dark silhouette was clear standing out in the bright sun. He felt like it was pulsing. Pulsing in a rhythmic melodic way, like an orchestral music, which he was the sole listener of.

Krishna was so engrossed in the music and tired that he didn't notice his mask slipping off him, and gently started to move away from him, and Krish who was unaware of it, slowly fell asleep.

And far away on earth, the storm of their battle calmed down, people came out from their houses, and looked at the sky, where sun was slowly rising, news reports of the incident that shook the whole world. The resurrection of dead Dr Arya and the revelation after that created an outrage no one expected, once again people witness what can call another world ending event, where three titans fought for supremacy. Carl's action and power made many people tremble and they marvel at the might of Krish who even after being questioned came to save people, and successfully saved the world again. People wanted to thank him, people wanted to worship him, people chanted his names in reverence, but he was nowhere to be found. Many people suspected that he might have died in the battle, some even speculating he was in hiding. Many questioned, many asked, but no one has the answers. But they all know one thing.

" He saved us all."

A week later after the Carl incident - With Supriya Sunday morning (NEWS)

" Good morning India, these Supriya from Sunday mornings, and today I'm Live from the outskirts of what used to be old Mumbai. The Carl incident a week ago has completely and utterly destroyed this place, for miles there is not a single building standing, and ground is filled with chunky blocks of cubes, some floating freely like they are space. Top scientists including Dr Rohit Mehra has come to a conclusion that the gravity field on the entire area is heavily unstable, and is no longer suitable for people to stay. The whole of old Mumbai has now been considered a dead zone. Countless people have lost their houses, countless people have lost their family, countless people have lost lives." And she paused.

" History often repeats itself. This world has once again paid a heavy price for a man's ambition to become something he thinks he could be. In history many people think they are special, they are chosen once, that they have a duty, a belief , a mission that matters more than anyone or anything in this world."

" There was Dr Arya, who believed humanity isn't worth believing, they aren't worthy of his trust, and they wouldn't accept someone like him! And maybe he was right, we couldn't believe a person who tried to protect everyone."

" Then there was Carl. Dr Charles Carlton Jr. A renowned scientist and a well-known researcher in Medicine. As you may all have already known, he has the same ambition to change the world, but he wasn't as radical as Dr Arya. He has different beliefs than him, he believed he could control us and shape us slowly for what he desires. Arya wanted to build and Carl wanted to control, both believed they were right, both believed in their way, one went in a straight forward way, one in a way we all saw."

" He wanted to replace him, he wanted us to believe him as the new symbol, and to become that symbol he did all and almost succeeded. If not for the sudden clip we got, he might have won."

" He made us question him, point fingers at him, doubt him, and we did all that. He wanted us to abandon him, and we abandoned him. But even after all that, even after all the allegations and insults, he still came back when he needed him the most, many people asked, where he went, and where he is right now." And they showed several screens of people, all around the world, asking, celebrating , marching and lighting candles.

" People keep asking me , who he is where he is."

[100 Days after Carl's incident.]

" I don't know, no one knows. But I know one thing, does it matter?"

[ Deep in space.]

" No matter what happens, where it happens, we need to remember this."

[ A huge meteorite, 20 Kg approx(bigger than one that extinct Dinosaurs) was heading towards earth.]

" No matter what danger falls ahead of us."

[ A figure in black stood facing it.]

" No matter how big or small, he might not be there. But his shadowless back will always be ahead of us. Facing what we cannot."

[ The meteor sped up and slowly started to catch fire.]

" He will always be in the forefront of the danger, saving that we can not."

[ The figure in black raised his fist.]

" We may never see him, but we can be sure. Whenever we need him, whenever there is something we can not face, he'll be ahead of us."

[ the meteor came close to the figure, and the figure hit the huge meteorite.]

" And this is what I know, and so do we."

[ The meteor hit the raised fist of the figure in black, and shattered in contact.]

" He is Krish."

[ And the meteor shattered in thousands and millions of pieces that scattered in empty space, far away from Earth, leaving a figure standing, his back facing earth.]

[ To be continued, stories never ends.]
