flame and the smouldering mitigate, and Navan saw the body of Sidius at a distance. The armoured figure was staring at him with his dazzling, electrifying red sword.

“SIDIUSSS!!! Navan was about to dash; the figure took out two smoke pellets from his holster and threw at him. Armun also ran towards them, meanwhile the choppers started drizzling bullets with their sub machine guns. Armun sprang and groped Navan and drifts him to a safe zone behind the jeeps. The figure didn’t seem to care about those two, as if they were redundant in this situation. It shook its gloved hands and pulled out Shurikens.  With a professional mechanism of arm bending, the figure flipped and threw those at those Gunners of two choppers. The Shurikens flew and disrupted the choppers engine.

“Mayday! Mayday! We’ve been hit!” The two choppers like a flightless bird wriggled and was trying to hover in air. No one , but Navan and Armun were the witness of this diabolical pursuit of this unidentifiable, cladded in  Samurai armour. including Fulkan inside the convoy. Both of them were losing consciousness, and Navan with his blurry vision realised it is because of the smoke pellets that might contain sleeping gas. The Samurai walked towards the convoy and slashed the car with its sword. By slashing continuously, the effect created a cavity on the side.

“Wh..who are you?” Fulkan was pale. “Where are the others? Oh god, you’re here to kill me!”

Without answering, the Samurai turned off its Hi-Tech sword and hung it in the holster. Fulkan was going to escape evading the Samurai, with one strike of Samurai’s punch, he got senseless.

You can’t escape!

“Uh…Urghh!!!” Fulkan woke up by a splash of water on his face. He got a black eye because of the punch. Shrugging off his face he found himself in shackles, tied with a chair. Theres no way trying to assume the place where he is, its extremely gloomy and swampy. The helmet kept in front of him is prominent, as there is a pale glint of light through the skylight. Fulkan with a jerk, tried to extricate him from the chains, and tried to move his head over the room. The absence of sound ,not even a swish of wind, and the Kabuto kept in front of him with a creepy smirk, making him catatonic and shivering in intimidation.

“Hello.Fulkan.” A cold breeze whispers in his ear. Fulkan flinched and looked at either sides,but found nobody except him and the creepy kabuto, staring at him with its gloomy, ghastly eyes.

“Face me, you scoundrel!!!” Fulkan was terrified. He was unaware of whats going on right now after he felt unconscious by a punch at bridge. “You’ve kidnapped me for the antidotes aren’t you, whoever you are! You won’t get it! The process of logistics and supply will be stopped automatically if they find me missing. Whats the best you can do huh?” Fulkan jeered nervously.

“Whats the best I can do?” The voice came from the front, behind the Kabuto. Not so clear, but Fulkan saw a silhouette sitting on the opposite side. “You’ve been asleep Fulkan, For the past 3 days, so its quite legit that how will you know that your Cash Cow, Adage industries is no more! There’s nothing but cinders now, just like your friend Prasanth’s Bhavishya group! EN TRASTE and Cleocorp ,  however, survived by that much but not for long! Nobody can stop my retribution! OKAMI and” cold and mordant the voice was.

Fulkan was transfixed. Adage is no more? One by one the world will suffer the destruction like this and no one will stand against it? All his dream project are in vein? “You’re a monster! The world will not have mercy!”

“Ohh, come on mister, as if you are a sage? A hermit, stood abstinent from every sin? Not polarized others ? Received adulations by saying the antidote is the creation of Adage? You have to die with your own sin Fulkan! You could never achieved this breakthrough if you don’t steal blatantly the serum of antidote and synthesized by your scientists in your own f**ing Labs of Adage!!”

How did he know that AD5 was not their creation but a larceny of serum from a location directed made them famous overnight? Is he one of Viper’s men, trying to take control over the cure? That’s why he is perishing all the industries, once were a part of logistics and supply of bioweapons and cure to terrorists, smugglers and guild?

“The world will receive antidote Fulkan, and I have already started disseminating despite the odds  and hindrance; you are too blind to notice that. But not from men like you, putting exorbitant prices to exploit the common. Your toxicity already made the people suffer. Mr. Jayden’s dream will come true.” The silhouette stood up on his feet.

“Jayden was a wuss!” Fulkan yelled, “ He was an inconsiderate wretch! He could have lived a life full of happiness, but he chose extortion and contraband! What, you think I don’t know him? Yes that stupid Jayden is Jade Viper himself, and I know that too! I knew him from 2016, but wait, how do you know Jayden?”

The shadow-figure rushed toward Fulkan and stifled him by holding his neck, saying “Dare not say his name, Fulkan! I want the detailed information of how you got your scruffy hands on the cure, he hid in secret hideouts!!!”

“I have no idea what youre talking about! AD5 is the sole achievement of Adage itself!” Fulkan groaned.

“That’s incoherent in this case Fulkan. There’s no AD5, no Adage either. The world thinks you are dead, which you will be by the way, but what about your wife and children? They live in Minnesota, right?” A crooning chortle echoed in the room.

“Don’t do anything to them! I beg you! NOOO!” Fulkan gasped out in astonishment. He was perspirating will a cold gust of fear running through his veins.

“Just a missing link I want to connect with the course of events,
