THE INFINITES: VOLUME 1

Planet D14
Few huntsmen hunt for a pack of rat-looking creatures. One of them aims and
misses.
Man 1: These rats are so hard to kill.
Man 2: You always come last in shooting.
Man 3: Surely you can’t blame the rats for your horrific aim
Man 1: I hate you guys so much.

Soon a blizzard arrives and the men are forced to take shelter in a dark cave.
Man 2: What’s better than a nice cozy cave?
Man 3: Did you guys hear the sound?
Man 1: What sound?
Man 2: It's coming from within.
The men start investigating and finally find light coming out of a small opening
in the cave wall. They peep from the hole and are utterly shocked.

‘There was a whole chamber on the other side of the cave. A huge fire burning
at the center. Several blue-skinned humanoids wearing priest clothes surround
the fire. The Leader raises one hand and a captive man is summoned before
him. In a split second, the man’s head is severed and thrown into the flame.
One of us screamed and after that, all we saw was darkness. We tried to
escape, and only I was successful. I looked back and saw rivers of blood coming
out of the cave soon to be frozen by the blizzard.’

PLANET AIIO2
A young boy named Chris Nightfire duels with his best friend Thyne Starlight.
Chris displays some beautiful sword techniques and Thyne falls to the ground.
Chris: 20 seconds better than last time.
Thyne: Don’t you dare laugh
Chris: I might later. (smiles)

A drone flies over them and drops a piece of paper in front of the boys.
‘ Chris Nightfire and Thyne Starlight, you both have attained the age to do
something for the greater good. Head out to Planet 293B and retrieve the
prisoners from the space pirates. Your every move and judgment will be
monitored. Complete the challenge and you’ll have great things lying ahead of
you.
Vernon Cane’

Elsewhere,
Five automated robots encircle a man, they shoot laser beams at him, but the
man easily evades the attack and with a swift attack destroys all the robots. The
man is James Glenn.
‘ James Glenn is described as a middle-aged man, dark-haired, medium height
and well-trained body, a war hero. The most famous person in the galaxy and is
known for being a hero of the Civil War. A retired Infinite and administers his
home planet AIIO2.’

A messenger arrives before James.

Messenger: Ser, you have a visitor at Jamaton (capital of the planet)
James(seeming uninterested): Do you know who it is?
Messenger: someone from the alliance my lord.

James returns to Jamaton and sees a small alliance vessel parked in the central
field. He meets his assistant Vernon Cane who informs him that the guest is
waiting in the main hall. They arrive in the main hall and the guest is revealed
to be Lance Glover.
Lance: Long time, Mr. Glenn.
James: Good evening, Lance what makes you come to Jamaton?
Lance: It seems the Lord of the Alliance has demanded your presence before
him.
James: So, after so many years, the alliance finally calls for me.
Lance: The Lord trusts you, Mr. Glenn.
James (looks outside the window): I cannot come, I have a planet to manage
Lance: Oh please, Mr. Glenn, we both know Vernon can handle this little
planet.
Vernon gives Lance a death stare.
Lance: I beg your pardon.
James: Give me any reason why should I go back.
Lance: well…you are James Glenn, the most honorable man in the galaxy, you
wouldn’t turn down the need for a good friend. Miss Katy would be also very
pleased to meet you.
James: (ignoring Lance’s words) Vernon, make sure Mr. Lance enjoys his stay
in Jamaton.
Lance(smirks): You’ll have time to decide. My vessel leaves 2 days later. Hope to
see you there….
[Lance leaves and James is seen lost in thoughts]

Vernon: Ser, the boys are on.

James(looking at a band in his hand): Yeah, I’ll catch up.
Vernon senses James being lost looking at his armband.
Vernon: 9 years apart…you and Miss Katy?
James: 9 years, 5 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days.
Planet 293B
A bunch of space pirates have taken some villagers hostage and threatened to
kill them using their laser guns.
Suddenly, they see a detonating arrow in front of them, which blows off
instantly. Thyne and Chris burst out through the wall, Thyne has an automated
high-tech bow and arrows while Chris uses an old rusted sword.
Thyne: What’s with the rusty sword bro?
Chris: Even if I miss, tetanus wouldn’t.
[Both laugh and start defeating the pirates one by one]
Thyne: These pirate scums are too easy.
Chris: For now, I suppose.
Soon, they learn that the prisoners are kept in a small hut beyond the ancient
shrine, which has at least 400 stairs. The moment they step on the first stair,
the whole shrine starts to shake, and a huge snake-like creature emerges from
within. It attacks them and is revealed to shoot dark beams from its mouth.
The snake starts causing massive destruction and heads out towards the
prisoners. Thyne does his best to stop it, while Chris’s sword is soon destroyed.
Thyne: (screaming): How tf do we stop this thing….
Chris: It is heading towards the prisoners; we have to think something fast.
Thyne: (screaming): That’s exactly what I am telling you.
Chris: Isn’t there a lake nearby?
Thyne: (screaming) What exactly is your plan?
Chris: We distract it, have its attention towards us, and then we take it to the
lake. You have the freezer arrow with you….one shot and the lake are frozen
along with the snake. The ice will slow it down and the cold will kill it.
Thyne and Chris distract the snake with the help of a laser beam.
‘’It can only see the movements, don’t do anything unnecessary’’
The creature follows them blindly and destroys every flora and fauna before it.
They manage to get the creature into the lake, where Thyne shoots his freezer
arrow, freezing the whole lake.
Chris: That should do, I guess.
The snake breaks free from a part of the ice shelf and shoots dark beams
Thyne: What do you mean?? That thing is still alive.
Chris: Chill out, the cold will kill it soon.
They both start to walk off and the screeches of the snake’s screeches gradually
start to fade.

They come across the hut, and Thyne goes inside to retrieve the prisoners
while Chris anchors the spaceship.
The prisoners don’t show any sense of satisfaction seeing Thyne. He starts to
untie them and then suddenly from somewhere, the cries of an infant is heard.
Thyne finds it strange and starts investigation from where the sound is coming.
He finds a wall, where a small box is kept. He opens the box to see an infant
crying. He is shocked and slowly pulls out the infant and it is revealed that the
infant is tied to a bomb. If the infant is taken out of the box, the bomb
activates. Thyne unknowingly takes the infant out, triggering the bomb and a
huge explosion takes place, seemingly killing everyone in the hut.
Chris experiences the explosion and rushes to the site to find only the smell of
flesh and blood. After a moment, Chris sees a several hundred spacecrafts
arriving from the jungle , with all aiming their gun towards him. The guns are
loaded and prepare to attack Chris, a light breeze is felt. A black figure comes
before him, who is none other than James Glenn. James effortlessly destroys all
the spaceships.
Chris wakes up and sees himself in a hospital bed. He gets up without any
difficulty and finds James before him.
James: How are you now………
Chris: Thyne—
James: He’s okay. before you went to the planet, the watches you were given,
those practically were force shields.
Chris: What about the prisoners?
James: They were my men.
Chris: Did they survive?
James: None of them did
Chris: So, this is how the training goes? You murder innocent people for this
insignificant challenge.
James: I don’t, the bomb was never a part of it. Only the monster, and the
monster only attacks you, not the prisoners.
Chris: What about the bomb then?
James: Someone kept it. Someone who wanted this to happen. Probably kill
both of you.
Lance: I don’t really think. Whoever did that, knew both Chris and Thyne would
have the force shields. It was not meant to kill them, maybe a strong message. I
am Lance Glover, great to meet you Nightfire.
James: What about the spaceships? They were not of the pirates; I have never
seen them.
Lance: Well, you should take a look here.
(lance takes his phone from his pocket and shows a hologram)
Mr. Venon accessed the CCTV there right before the explosion. (he zooms in
the bomb)
James: It’s from the alliance. What?? Someone from the alliance.
Chris: The only one from the alliance here, is you Mr. Glover.
James: Lance was with me the whole time.
Lance: It is natural for you Mr. Nightfire, the evidences to point out to me, but I
have no intention of doing any harm.
James: The ships were not of the alliance.
Lance: Indeed, my lord. But I am familiar with ships. And you are familiar with
the person who owns all of ships.
Chris: Who?
Lance: (shows some images of the ship)
James: Arthur Starlight??
Chris: Why tf would Uncle Arthur kill his own son.
Lance: Thyne is not dead, Arthur is aware of the rules here.
James: But why??
Lance: this should be a secret. I have heard whispers my lord. Arthur is not
really comfortable about something.
James: What?
Lance: You’ll need to the alliance with me then.
James: (Looks at him)
Lance: If you want to know everything, come with me.
James: You’ll be leaving tomorrow. If I go, you’ll find me in your spaceship.
Lance: Thank you, Mr. Glenn. I will be looking forward to your decision.

Later that night, we see Chris getting into a spaceship only to be confronted by
James.
James: Where do you think you are going boy?
Chris: Leaving Jamaton
James: Do you have a logical explanation why?
Chris: You cannot contain me here, I don’t belong here, I will do what I like.
James: You have a purpose.
Chris: What purpose, just because my father was some war hero, why will I
have to fill his shoes? He was not there to raise me, you were.
James: Chris, you have a power not even I can match. I have trained you and I
know your capabilities. You could have destroyed those ships much faster than
me; you could have ended the monster much faster if you wanted, but you
didn’t. You are running away from your powers. People conquer the galaxy just
for something you want to give up. You don’t have to replace Erik, you are far
more, more than me , more than him.
Chris: I don’t belong here. I’ll use my powers the moment I feel I am worthy of
it. You have seen what power can make a person, and I don’t want to be
another one.
James: You are not-
Chris: I am. I exactly feel how it seems. I saw those people die before me, my
best friend getting blasted off, do you think I would deliberately keep my
powers of? Last time I used the aura, it destroyed a whole planet. I will not be
responsible for any more deaths, and I am done playing this little game of
yours. Thyne will become an infinite, not me.
James: So, your decision is final?
Chris: It is.
James: I wish you all the best in the future. You are always welcome in
Jamaton.
Chris: It’s been an honour.
[both hug each other]
Chris gets on the ship and is about to take off. The AI asks him ‘’ Where to Sir’’
to which Chris replies ‘Earth its is’

NEXT MORNING,
Lance is about to take off for the alliance, and he finds James in his spacecraft.
Lance: So, you decided to come.
James: Yes, I need answers for what happened in Planet 293B.
Lance: I hope you get what you seek. It does not always end up the way we
want. What about Jamaton?
James: Vernon is in charge for now.
Lance: Great choice, ser….great choice.

Alliance
They land in Kingston, the capital of the alliance.
‘ I took a rest and Lance called me there we are here. 17 years later, I will be
back in the place where it all started. I watched down from the window screen
to see Kingston in all its glory. Lots of memories 17 years, long time…a real long
time. We landed, and we got straight through the headquarters. The place had
changed a lot since the last time. They literally had the biggest science
department working for them, most of the things were digitalized. Huge piles of
documents were being exported, the information flowing through glasses. And
there I stood in front of Master Conrad’s statue. So many people, and species,
are all working together, solving their problems, and helping each other. This is
it, the Alliance, the place from where the whole Galaxy is governed. Finally, I
came across the place from where my story started, the Infinite Base. I wanted
to get in, the place where I was raised and trained, but Lance insisted on
meeting the Governor, the head of the Alliance, and my old friend, Wilson
Cameron.’
James and Lance enter the council room to see all the council members along
with Wilson waiting for them to arrive. The Council comprises of Alan Lake
(treasurer), Lemar Mend (Sector 1 representative), Lord Wulfric (The
Knowledgeable Being), and Lance Glover ( Wilson’s adviser).
Wilson: If it isn’t the famous James Glenn. You have grown taller.
(After an intense pause, they both start laughing)
James: How have you been, my friend? It is not an easy task to look after the
galaxy.
Wilson: Easier than making you come back to the alliance (laughs lightly)
Lemar: Mr. Glenn, hope you didn’t have troubles on your way here.
James: No, I didn’t. Lance has been quite a good travel partner.
Alan: James Glenn, after all this time, finally can meet you. Your late brother
must have mentioned me.
James: He did. Hope you remember him.
Alan: No way I could forget that man. (Alan shows off his right hand which lacks
all 5 fingers)
James: Perhaps you chose the wrong man to duel with.
Alan: Not the man, it was Natalya, a woman worth fighting. Your brother would
have agreed.
Wilson: Enough you both, it’s not the time to grieve for the dead or the living
will soon join them . Lance, carry on.
Lance: Yes, my lord.
(opens a document and projects it)
As you can see gentlemen, Sector 2 is officially the first Sector to have
established 5 Dyson spheres around their stars. They now are the highest
producer of energy. Queen Alicent however has agreed to share 20% of the
total energy produced to the alliance.
James: Isn’t that a great news?
Lemar: It is. But we have to consider the age of Queen Alicent. She will be 90
this summer. And none of her heirs still live in this world. Her last heir was your
brother’s wife, Princess Natalya. If only, they had a child.
Wulfric: What if the child is there, hidden from our knowledge?
James: Lord Wulfric, whatever you are trying to imply, let me make myself
clear, I would not like to hear any more shits about my dead family. And even if
they had a child, he/she would already be an adult right now.
Wulfric: my apologies, good sir.
Alan: The point we want to make is that someone needs to succeed Queen
Alicent. Someone needs to manage Sector 2. We cannot afford to lose such
tremendous potential in resources.
James: What do you guys want from me?
Wilson: James, Sector 2 is an administrative marvel, what it lacks is good
military and defense strategies, and who is better in strategies than James
Glenn? The people know you; they love you, and you are the most suitable
choice to succeed Queen Alicent, please my friend, I can only request that,
don’t turn down this offer. The Galaxy needs you, always had.
James: (remains silent)
Wilson: Fine, I’ll give you time to think about it. You have all the time you
require. For now, council is dismissed.

James heads back to his room confused and indulged in deep thinking. He
notices the infinite training room ahead, and decides to have a go in. He sees a
woman teaching small children about the basics of the aura.
‘ The universe as you all know, teeming with life, energy , gravity, dark matter
and many more. Ever wondered what fuels your soul, what is the source of
your soul, it is your Aura. Aura is the definite energy or force every living
individual possess, some more or some less. The founding infinites used their
aura and saved the galaxy once. We infinites are not soldiers, we are
peacekeepers, and that’s why the aura is more predominant for us. Each one of
you have a gift, the gift of aura, and you shall use it for the betterment of the
galaxy. As you can see --- (she stops talking and with a swift movement strikes
James with a sword. James is quick with his reflexes and blocks her attack with
ease)
James: Hi ……
Katy: You------------------
They both take down their weapons.
Katy: Children, class is over for today. Be there sharp tomorrow before the
temple.
All the children smile and leave the room.
Katy: What makes the infamous James Glenn come back here?
James: (smirks) Infamous? This is my home
Katy: Didn’t seem like when you left……
James: don’t get started on that.
Katy: why are you here…
James: ask that to your boss….
Katy: oh, about that sector 2 thing….so ruling a great sector excites the great
James Glenn to come back.
James: Probably, who wouldn’t want to rule a sector?
Katy: (long pause) You selfish little –
James: Selfish? Those were war times, Katy, grow up.
Katy:(shouting) Then why did you confess during war, you call the alliance your
home, and the next day you were gone with that goddam letter on my desk.
James: I saw my brother fall into a ridge, I saw my best friend sacrifice his life,
what would I have done ……
Katy: Stayed
James: oh wow, this place was burning, no foundations would have
remained….I took the danger away, and if you don’t mind my asking, why didn’t
you stop me?
Katy: I ----
James: we both knew what was the best for the universe, maybe not always
the best for us….
After a long pause………
Katy: Well….You surely have improved your conversation skills.
James: You think?
Katy: Yeah—
James: Drinks on me. Interested?
Katy: Who would turn down free drinks….
Sector 4 capital Goldance City
A unicorn with wings soars high into the sky and spreads its wings wide and
dives forward creating sparkling magic dust everywhere.
‘Wonderful Pegasus’ a girl calls out to the horse. Pegasus sits down while the
girl brushes its glazy white hair.

Meanwhile a handmaiden arrives,

‘Princess Roxanne, your sisters have called for you’

Goldance is one of the most beautiful castles made of pure gold. It is the capital
of sector 4, The goldance city rules by queen Diane and her three sisters,
princess Scarlet, Elizabeth and Roxanne.

Roxy reaches the palace with the help of Pegasus and finds princess Scarlet
waiting for her.
Scarlet : You are late.
Roxy: Sorry for that, Pegasus learned some new tricks
Scarlet: Get inside fast, Diane is waiting.

The central hall was magical and made of pure gold. The common people
watched from the stands, soldiers guarded the entrance, and a huge portrait of
the previous rulers hung on the greater wall.

Wanderfort has now become a frequent source of conflict between Sector 4 and
Sector 5, with both claiming the planet to be theirs.

Diane: our parents died on that planet and it was Father’s last word to 4 of us,
Wanderfort is ours. I am sending in more troops.
Scarlet: A queen doesn’t throw away the soldiers like this.
Diane: if I stop sending troops, sector 5 will win. I do not want to be a daughter
who can’t fulfill her father’s last words.
Scarlet: we don’t even know what happened to them. Father took all his men
and never came back. Do you think we can afford to make the same mistake as
him. You really think he would be proud if you made the same mistake.
Diane: (heavy pause) Fine, you are right, so what should I do…
Elizabeth: we need to uncover the truth first. What really happened to mother
and father. Did they disappear? Spies, send is spies, fully undercover, no troops.
Roxy: I’ll do it.
Scarlet: shutup, no way
Roxanne: Why? You guys know I am the best spy here.
Elizabeth: watching 2 James bond movie doesn’t make you a spy.
Scarlet: no way you are going anywhere.
Roxy: why?
Elizabeth: cause its dangerous, father and mother went there and never
returned.
Diane: I can’t let the same happen to my sister.
Roxy: But I am the only one who can complete the mission, Diane, please
Diane: it’s the queen’s command. You dare oppose it.
Roxy: fine…I won’t go… (murmuring) as if you guys can stop me

Later that night,

Roxy sneaks into the spaceship and is about to take off.
She zaps through the city and disappears into the moon as Scarlet watches on.

Alliance
James agrees to become Sector 2 head much to Wilson’s delight. Wilson
coronates James as the new king of sector 2 which was broadcasted
throughout the galaxy.

James reaches Sector 2 capital Blumion, and is received by a grand welcome.

‘It was beautiful, all the colors, the people dancing and the rich heritage of
sector 2. Quite scared to rule one of the richest sectors……….is my privilege to
serve the people’
James is first approached by Peter Cale.

Peter Cale: Welcome my lord, sector 2 is overjoyed to have you as their king.
James: it’s my privilege.
Suddenly a great beam of energy is seen rocketing in the sky which zaps
through the air and lands on the ground. It is revealed to be Brittany Sanders.
Brittany: My King….
James: I have heard all of your stories, Mrs. Sanders.
Brittany: Take care of the ground. I’ll take care of the sky
James: Would be my pleasure.

Peter takes James around the palace, making him well verse with the things
and all.
James: That’s one beautiful palace, Queen Alicent made. Where is she?
Peter: I am afraid her health has deteriorated a lot.
James: That’s sad to hear.

Peter: Having no heir does pain her a lot.

James: Yeah, both her son and granddaughter.
Peter: gave their life for the galaxy, some sacrifices which don’t go to waste. I
know you wouldn't the same about the granddaughter.
James: We can’t escape destiny, can we?
Peter: What is destiny according to you, your highness?
James: I am the last person you should be asking that (laughs). Destiny is what
our actions align us to, the cause we are born for, which completes our goal as
a human, a living human.
Peter: then why did princess Natalya had to die, she was meant to be sector’s
2, her destiny.
James: Maybe sometimes it's incomplete.
Peter: destiny is not what the universe aligns us to do my lord, destiny is what
we do. The universe doesn’t care about us; we do. You were the only survivor
from the golden three, not because destiny wanted you alive, but because you
knew you had to, the people needed you, the universe needed you. It’s a
thought, an image projected on the wall and all it takes is one person to make
all the difference… I am sure your grace, the time will again, the universe was
and always be in tremendous debt to you.

Earth
(Chris lands on Earth)
‘Okay this place is very polluted’ Chris coughs….
He exits the spaceport and is approached by two men wearing black suit.
Man1: welcome to earth, Mr. Nightfire.
Man2: boss would like to have a word with you first. Please come with us.

They take Chris to the CIA headquarters and tell him to go and meet the Agent
supreme, highest-ranking agent of the CIA, who controls the place.
‘’The Agent supreme is a very old man, sort of crippled, wrinkled all over, on a
wheelchair. But as they always say looks can be deceiving, for he was none
other than Conrad, the hero of the dark times, James and Katy’s teacher, the
first infinite’’
Conrad: Chris, look at you, you have grown so much.
Chris: Great to see you after so many days Master Conrad.
Conrad: on the road to become a CIA agent are you……
Chris: yeah, I hope I can --
Conrad: oh, I know you will, you are trained by James and you have Erik’s
blood flowing through you. You’ll be the best agent CIA will ever see.
Chris: I will try my best to match your legacy, sir.
Conrad: Mr. Harry will show you how things work here. You’ll not have any
problem staying on earth, I assure you.
Chris: Thank you so much, Sir……
(Chris leaves, and Harry begins to brief him on the protocols)

Suddenly, a hooded figure comes behind Conrad and asks him,

‘You think he is the one.’
‘He exactly is the one,’ replies Conrad.

Chris is given the codename Agent Dawn. After an exhausting day, he returns to
his new home and awaits the new challenges that are racing toward him.

Alliance
It's celebration time, and all the sector representatives have gathered in the
capital to attend the alliance's 40th anniversary.
King David of sector 5, Queen Diane of Sector 4 along with Scarlet, Al Hart of
Sector 3, and King James Glenn of Sector were the notable figures present in
the ceremony, with the Sector 1 representatives being the only absentees.

James: who’s the --?

Katy: William, Wilson’s son, or you can say the next Chancellor.
James: and?
Katy: Princess Alisa, Wilson’s daughter.
King David: Queen Diane
Queen Diane: Kind David. I am afraid you haven’t met Scarlet here.
Scarlet, this is King David and Prince Ansh.
King and prince, this is Scarlet.
King David: Wonderful.
Prince Ansh: shame your parents can’t attend the ceremony.
(Both Diane and Scarlet look at Ansh)
Scarlet: let the dead be in peace.
Queen Diane: In Sector 4, whoever disrespects the dead is fed to a lion.
Prince Ansh: How merciful.
Queen Diane: I hope it’s a relief, Prince Ansh, giving up on your dream to
overthrow your father for the throne of Sector 5. Happy Family reunion, isn’t it.
Prince Ansh: I guess we’ll look into that. How’s your little sister, Roxanne, still
playing with that white horse.
King David: give her my regards, maybe few prayers for God, and she will be
cured of her sufferings.
Scarlet: It’s the pure soul’s disease. I wonder you don’t have it.
King David: Sector 5 has some differences with 4.
Queen Diane: well, everyone has their differences. We don’t steal planets aur
slaughter native men, we don’t come from that place.

The ceremony starts, with Wilson getting on the podium to recite his speech
for the memorable day.
‘ 40 years, not a small amount of time, 40 years since the alliance was forged,
right here by the great heroes of the past. There were sacrifices, blood
everywhere. The universe was divided, afraid of the darkness, which led our
founding members to forge an independent universal governing society, the
alliance. 20 years since I have been in this post, the wrinkles have intensified,
strength has gone, soon or later my son will succeed me. When I look at this
audience, many of us here who have done their everything to save this
universe I am thankful to all of them. For the universe, and for peace, forever ‘

After the ceremony, most of the rulers have left and only James ,Katy and few
alliance members remain. The planet started shaking suddenly, suggesting a
planetquake. From the mountains rose a huge serpent like creature, The
Leviathan. To their surprise, a black suited individual was riding the beast. The
black suited individual introduces himself as the Leader. Both James and Katy
were flabbergasted when they realised that the Leader could also use the Aura.
Both of them try to stop the Leader, but are unsuccessful. The Leader killed the
soldier shooting at him and then captured the princess. He took the princess,
and despite repeated efforts from James, they weren’t able to stop the Leader
from kidnapping the princess.

Wilson started to cry, and the whole ceremonial place was destroyed by the
Leader. James promises Wilson to bring the princess back home and Katy
decides to help him. This is moment Chris realises it was the Leader behind the
attacks of Planet 293B.

Earth
Chris is seen practising with his pistol. ‘ Great shot, Nightfire’ exclaims Derek.
His trainer Chris says, ‘So here on earth, you all use this to kill people. What’s
the success rate? ‘High enough,’ replies Derek
After completing his daily training, Chris goes and checks on the progress of his
strike team, comprising of John Elton, Asutosh Ray, Wu Teng Fen, Nazia Khan
and Sarah O Connel. Chris is highly impressed in seeing the work rate of his
team.
‘Well done, team. You could go home and have a rest for today. Tomorrow, the
secretary has called for a special meeting.

Later that night, Chris is searching for some good burgers in the night market.
He finds a good spot and is about to enjoy his cheeseburger when Derek calls
him up.
Chris: Hello, what is it?
Derek: Report to the headquarters at once; bring your team along with you. It's
your first mission.
Chris: On my way.

Chris, along with his team, reaches the headquarters, where they meet Derek.
Derek: We have received some internal news. Tomorrow 9 am, there will be a
heist, and you all will be in charge of stopping it. It will be difficult; you all will
be up against one of the most dangerous criminals ever. None of the other
agents can do this…only you guys. You’ll be supplied with all your amenities
and arms. Good luck.
Chris: Where is the place...?
Derek: Empire State…

Chris and his team await in their vehicle outside the Empire State.
Sarah: there is a school excursion. The children are already inside.
Chris: keep your senses open, it could be any moment. Wu?
Wu: yep, right here in position. (From a nearby building with full computer
setup.)
Soon, a truck arrives and crashes against an electric pole, creating a havoc in
the New York street. Amidst the chaos, few men get out of a bus and make
their way inside the building.

Wu: captain, they are in.

Chris: Nazia, John secures the perimeter, make sure they can’t escape. Sarah
and me go inside; Wu lead us the way.
Chris and Sarah get inside the building to find that all the security are already
dead.
Chris: Wu?
Wu: 3rd floor, hostage situation.

The gang head introduces himself as Jamieson. ‘Hello, teachers, guides and
children, I am Jamieson, or you can call me uncle Jamie.(evil laugh) So I’ll not
harm any of you, in return I would not like to be disturbed. Deal? (no answer) .
wonderful, such cooperative students.’
Jamieson gets a phone call
‘So whom am I speaking to…
‘Inspector Lawrence, NYPD what are your demands’
‘ah ah ah Inspector, Lemme do the talking here. Right, so not much, that bank
you got, gold, all of them, I need the gold.’
(a child starts to cry) Tell him to shut …
‘Your demands are crazy’
(boom…..Jamieson shoots the crying child in the leg) ** child screams. did you
hear that inspector??
‘Loud and clear’

The fire alarm in the building suddenly gets turned on, a confused Jamieson
send one of his man to check , but doesn’t return. One by one all of Jamieson’s
men start disappearing. It was Chris and Sarah, one by one they took down all
of Jamieson’s men. Jamieson with the last pistol in hand, kidnaps one of the
child and takes to terrace where there is a helicopter waiting for him.

Sarah accidentally steps in a strange object..

Chris: don’t move..
Sarah: it’s a mine bomb.
Wu: I can deactivate it…but I need time.
Sarah: Chris keep moving, I am alright here.
Chris reaches the terrace and finally comes face to face with Jamieson.
Jamieson gets on the chopper with the kid wrapped around with a suit of
detonators. Jamieson: yeah mr, well played, taking out all my men, one min I
was winning and the next, you win. Well played, but sadly your story ends here
. One button and the whole Empire State to dusts…………hahahhahahahahahaa
bye, bye……….
The chopper was about to escape, but soon it stopped moving. ‘What’s
happening, why did we stop???? Jamieson looks outside and sees Chris holding
off the helicopter with his aura. Jamieson presses the button, but again no
success, Wu had already deactivated all the bombs. Jamieson starts shooting at
Chris but not a single bullet touched him. Chris had brought the chopper down,
ensuring Jamieson’s capture.

ALLIANCE.
Do you know how we are getting into Recaspian? ’ asks a confused Katy.
James: Recaspian, as they call it, is the largest spaceship ever. The stories I have
heard are terrifying. I did a bit of research on it, on the universal archives.
Katy: What did you find?
James: Everything. (He shows Katy a book.) Recaspian is a perfect conqueror
ship, made efficiently for battles. Its engine is a hive mind, so all the smaller
ships eventually are connected to the big one.
Katy: so, if we can find one of the smaller ships…
James: It will lead us directly to Recaspian.
Katy: and how are we going to get the smaller ships…?

James takes Katy to an old godown.

‘What is this place?’
‘It was a gun factory, shut down years ago…. I was here on a mission.’
Katy looks around. ‘This place stinks.
‘Sure, its does’. James then goes near an object covered with a blanket. He
removes the blanket, and it was one of Recaspian’s smaller spaceships.

‘How the --- how did you---??’

‘The Dork ran the factory, Recaspian’s previous captain….it was not initially
planned to be a gun factory……….’
‘Brilliant……as sharp as ever, James. ’

‘Ah, how to even run this thing’….James says in disgust, removing cobwebs
from the panel.
‘Leave that thing on me darling, 7 PhDs on spacecraft piloting.’
They both dressed up as the Leader’s henchmen in white suits with helmets
and set out to retrieve the princess from the Leader’s clutches.

They sneak into Recaspian.

They entered the air dock region and their face started glittering up with
amazement. It was one of the finest spaceships ever to be designed, it was as if
in a very expensive Hotel, floor glazed with marbles and bright yellow light
sparkling against the walls, creating a beautiful shining effect.
Once you enter the main region from the air dock, two opposite-facing stairs in
wavy fashion ascend to the upper floors. There were also separate panels
where loads of packages used to be shifted from one place to another. The
soldiers, too, were quite disciplined and dared not to spread any dirt around
the ships. Groups of soldiers always went in a particular fashion, as if marching,
both hands and legs in excellent coordination.
James and Katy spread their ways with each takin either of the stairs. ‘ Meet
me right here, and avoid the groups. we cannot match their coordination.

Katy gets on the second floor and starts inspecting it. She bumps into another
random soldier and immediately apologizes; the soldier nods and gets away.
Katy goes near the elevator and finds the guide, where she learns that the
prisoners are kept on the seventh floor. She gets on the lift, but the lift stops at
sub-level 4, and a large, black suited man gets in. It’s the SECONDMATE, the
leader’s uncle. It got awkward, with Katy keeping high alert for any chance of
attack, but soon, the lift showed 7, and Katy got off.

Meanwhile, James tracks the Leader to the 5th floor and takes the stairs.
‘Katy, any updates.
‘Bumped on a random guy and shared a moment with the SECONDMATE in the
elevator.
‘Stop with the jokes, find the princess, we don’t have much time.’
‘I wasn’t joking, whatever’. (Katy cuts the line)
James( after a few seconds): what do you mean by shared a moment….(finds
that the line is cut)
James finally comes across the Leader’s room but finds it locked. He peeps in
through the door hole and is completely baffled. The leader had his mask
removed, and he was just a teenager, pretty handsome one. James also caught
the glimpse of a woman in the room, but was unable to see her face.
Katy searches across the prison but finds most of the cells empty. She is about
to continue her search to the next set of cells, but she again bumps into
someone, this time the SECONDMATE.
‘INTRUDER’
Katy kicks the SECONDMATE right in the face, and he lands on a big prison cell,
breaking the cells, which automatically turns on all the alarms.
‘Uh. oh’ Katy removes her soldier costume and flees to the next level of prison
cells.
Danger doesn’t always loom free; it is invited. From the broken prison, a huge
creature, the size of an elephant, with the body of a crocodile, scales and
worse, had a taste of human flesh. The creature gobbled up the SECONDMATE,
with his screams echoing in the corridor.

James hears the alarm and hides in the nearby wall. He sees the Leader storm
out of the room, and James sneaks into it. He is surprised to find that the
woman he saw is no longer there, but a secret, hidden passage leading to
somewhere unknown. James turns back and comes face to face with the
Leader.

‘Finally hear, Mr. Glenn. I was waiting for you.’

‘Nice ship you have’
The Leader shows no intention of fighting and gently sits on a chair, pours tea
into two cups, and invites James to which James doesn’t hesitate at all.
‘Here to rescue the princess, huh’
‘You bet.’
Leader adds a spoon of sugar to his tea.
Your character never fails to amaze me.
And why is that?
The Great James Glenn. Comes out of retirement to save a princess.
(adds more sugar)
I don’t turn down a friend in need.

‘Huh, oh…you really think…let me recall, you got your honour question when
an external like me took the princess from right under your nose, and you were
just so….weak.
I grew among infinites….strength humiliation is no rare thing for me.
You confess you were humiliated
No crime in confessing the truth.

‘ So that’s the great honour they talk about

(adds one more spoon of sugar)
Let’s just become more serious then, why are you here?

The table erupts, and both strike each other, with swords clashing. Both were
equally matched, punching at one another, but soon the fight is interrupted
when the creature storms in and lets out a huge screech.
James and Leader (at the same time): Oh hell….

Meanwhile, Katy after nearly checking about 50 cells, finds the princess. She
uses her aura magic and destroys the lock. ‘ Princess, we need to get out of
here’
Miss Katy!! The princess rushes and hugs her. I am so glad to see.
‘Me too Alisa’

Princess Alisa and Katy rush out of the prison department but they soon get
surrounded by the soldiers with laser blasters in their hands. Katy doesn’t
waste any time and defeats all the soldiers.
Meanwhile, James and the Leader fight their way out of the creature. The
creature being resistant to both aura and laser beams, created a huge problem.
‘What type of maniac, keeps this creature in their ship.’
Your girl let is out.
Why tf did you have it on the first place.
It was meant for you…oh hell I hate ya.

Katy and Alisa reach the air dock.

James, where are you, we got the princess.
Oh damn Katy,,,run

They see the front door burst open, and the leader flies past and falls on the
barrels kept at the edge. James is soon to be followed, and then the creature
again lets out a huge screech.
James quickly gets up from the ground and gets back on the ship, with Katy
wasting no time turning on the engine. The mainframe was jammed, but after
repeated tries, it started working again. The ship levitates from the ground and
is about to take off but something stops it. Its as if an invisible force is holding
of their ship, James looks outside and sees the Leader with his aura powers,
holding the ship in one hand and holding the creature at the other hand.
The Leader lets out a huge scream. Katy looks at James, who is equally shocked
to see this much power. James doesn’t hold back and uses his aura to counter
the resistance of the Leader. After a great game of tug of war, the ship frees
itself from the action of the aura and is ready to take off. The Leader, sensing
defeat, throws the creature at the ship. The creature collides with the ship,
destabilizing it, but Katy doesn’t lose hope and pilots the ship to outer space,
where the creature gets frozen and dies due to space pressure.
They look back and see the Leader standing in the air dock and the once
beautiful Recaspian, destroyed from within.

Earth
Jamieson is kept inside the Knight Prison, the most dreaded prison in the
world, middle of the Rocky Mountains. Only high authorities are allowed
inside.
Chris and John had come to the prison to interrogate Jamieson.
The prison governor leads them to the glass prison. ‘He’s down there…a living
monster. ’

They see Jamieson meditating.’ Welcome, I must honour guys, the first team to
have captured me. Fascinating, specially you blonde boy, what a mystery.
Chris: Who’s your employer?
Jamieson: I work for my interest.
Chris: You are a consultant criminal; you must have an employer.
Jamieson: Even if I had, you won’t get a name from me.
Chris: Well then, John, please carry on.

John tries his best to interrogate Jamieson, but in vain. With no success, they
both decided to head back to the headquarters.

Later that night, Jamieson, who has been gifted a piano by some anonymous
person, sits on a chair and starts to play. The cell keepers quickly gathered
around Jamieson’s cell.
It was the first time they heard him play, and the tune was mesmerizing. In a
moment, the whole prison was listening to him play, unaware of what to
follow.
Jamieson plays a soft note, and soon, the soldiers start fainting. Jamieson
transitions to higher notes, and a few men with guns storm in and start killing
the soldiers. The governor tries to call for backup but is shot in the head.
Jamieson shifts to the highest notes, and grenades are going off everywhere. It
was as if Jamieson’s piano was orchestrating the attack.
Finally, when all the men are dead, Jamieson gets up and lets out a huge laugh.

The news of Jamieson’s escape spread fast. The whole government is in fear
about Jamieson’s next move. The CIA, too worried about Jamieson’s employer.

A big fat man takes out a huge knife from a drawer and strikes with it. He takes
the part of the steak and drops it on a heating pan containing preheated oil. He
plucks a few basil leaves, a pinch of rock salt and adds a whole bowl of cooked
rice. He sears the meat and plates it wonderfully
*Jamieson storms in*
‘Hello, Jamieson,’ the man says while garnishing the plate.
‘Triple me the money.’
‘May I ask why?’
‘I am done risking my life. I would have been gone, I didn’t sign up for this; that
guy is too much, not of Earth.
‘Where is honour, Jamieson?’
‘There is no honour in this world. It’s life or death. I am not choosing death.
What will honour bring me, respect??? I am a consultant criminal, respect isn’t
my kind of thing.’
‘Well then, you’ll get your money, but I need the job done quickly.

The CIA do their best to find Jamieson but are unsuccessful. One day, finally,
they traced some illegal activities in the Morona Santiago region of Ecuador.
Chris and his team packed their things and set out for Ecuador without any
hesitation.

Sector 2
The nightmare doesn’t let James sleep, he gets up, panting and sweating. He
looks outside the window….just about he hears a knock.
‘Yeah, come in’
In walks Peter Cale ‘ Sir the subjects are…
Peter, I need you to do something for me….

James visits an isolated planet, H8I9. He lands his vessel on a high hill with
great difficulty. There were forests around, greenery everywhere his eyes laid
upon. There, he meets with the village elder.
Elder: James Glenn, what makes you come to my humble abode?
James: There are some essential things we need to discuss.
Elder: Dreams are those.
James: Nightmares, to be exact.
James explains his nightmares to the elder, and the elder is initially shocked,
and a sense of fear takes over the elder’s face.
Elder: Come with me
The elder takes James to an abandoned cavern, which is a gateway to a secret
chamber. The chamber had fire lanterns glowing on the sides and a small pool
of water in the middle. The elder goes near the pool and swivels the water with
his hand. With a serious look, he turns to James…. The water slowly turns
green….
Elder: its green.
James is left speechless….
Elder: I hope you know what is needed to be done.
James: I cannot….(tears start dropping from his eyes)……….is it necessary for
the past to repeat itself?
Elder: Absolutely…….but we don't need to repeat the same mistake….the only
reason the past repeats itself is because it expects us to learn from our
previous mistakes……
James: How can I--
Elder: The decision will be yours and yours only.

Recaspian
The Recaspian henchmen try their best to revive the ship once again from the
damage it had endured. The leader sits on his throne, angered and frustrated,
while a masked man arrives.

Leader: look around you, the condition of my ship.

Masked man: you had two infinites and one of them was James Glenn.
Leader: I will need more money.
Masked man: That wasn’t our original agreement.
Leader: you planned to kidnap the princess, lure James into Recaspian and kill
him. Look what he did.
Masked man: You agreed to my offer. should have asked then….or did you
underestimate James…
The leader uses his aura and tries to choke the masked man.
Masked Man: Arthur Starlight is on his way……….
The leader lets him go…. and he hears footsteps… a majestic man, along with a
few more soldiers, make their way to the throne room.
Leader: What is happening…
Masked man: war
James Glenn is now invincible after ascending to the throne of Sector 2, which
has made Mr. Starlight a bit uncomfortable.
Arthur: James Glenn has questioned my power enough. My son is in a coma,
and I hold him accountable for it. But as an integral part of the alliance, I will
not take part in any of this madness. All I can provide you with is some soldiers.
Masked man: We all have different ambitions, but few of them intersect one
another.
Leader: What is the plan?
Masked man: We kill him.
Leader: My ship is gone. I don’t have many soldiers with me.
Arthur: Don’t you worry about that. I will provide you with my men, but my
name must not come on any accords. Once James dies, the only obstruction in
my path will vanish.
(Leader looks at Arthur)
Masked man: what happens to sector 2 then…
Arthur: Sector 2 will have a new king….so will the galaxy……

Earth.
A huge mining expedition is being carried out by Jamieson and his team.
Doctor Nefes, meanwhile, works on a new synthezoid, designed only to kill
Chris.
Chris and his team arrive at the mining site, hiding behind the trees. It was right
in the middle of the amazon, quite impossible to see through the rainforest.
The team starts to make plans while Asutosh spots something bizarre: two big
eggs.

John: I am thinking the same.

Asutosh: It would be quite fun.

They knock out a henchman, Wu takes his clothes and, secretly posing as the
man, keeps a bag beside Doctor Nefes. The bag has two eggs.
Chris: What’s the eggs for?
Asutosh: Anaconda
Nazia: Anacondas are ovoviviparous, meaning they retain their eggs within
their bodies until they hatch and then give birth to live young.
Chris: ….
Sarah: Did you see this? * Sarah points to a poster in one of the trees where it
is written ‘ MUTANT SNAKE RECREATION PROGRAMME’
John: uh oh.

Doctor Nefes, spotting the bag, inspects it and finds two eggs. He turns back
and sees a 30-foot Snake hissing at him.
The snake created havoc in the site, swallowing men whole in one go. Jamieson
angrily gets on a bulldozer and jams the snake against the mountain, killing it.

He orders Nefes to unleash the synthezoid.

But sir, it isn’t ready.
I said. Do it…
Chris and his team storm in, aiming their gun at Nefes and Jamieson.
**A huge sonic boom is heard, and a synthezoid crashes in front of them.**
‘Meet my new friend, blonde boy’

The robot had a semi purple face, with no hair, and wore a full combat black
suit.
‘Which one of you is Chris’
Chris tells the rest to go after Jamieson.
‘That would be me’
The synthezoid robot, without wasting a second, unleashes a terrifying punch
to which Chris dodges. Chris turns to attack but misses. It again tries to punch,
but Chris again dodges. Chris was dodging all of the attacks, but his attacks
didn’t seem to hit the robot.
Chris was becoming tired, but the robot was increasing its power every minute.

‘How does it feel to battle someone with equal strength?’

Chris doesn’t reply.
The robot then lets out a huge scream and destroys the nearby trees in the
process. He bulks up and then lands the most powerful punch, which this time
hits Chris. Chris’s face starts bleeding, but soon a smirk comes on his face. The
robot launches several attacks, but Chris doesn’t dodge or retaliate. Finally, he
blocks the attack, his eyes start to glow blue, and Chris lashes out a punch,
which goes through the synthezoid. The robot, stunned, falls on the ground,
malfunctioning.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team has successfully captured Jamieson and brings
him in front of Chris.
‘So, blonde boy, how does it feel to win’
‘Great, how does it feel to lose?’
‘Haha, I didn’t say anything about losing. Checkmate’
*They realise Jamieson has tied himself with explosives, which will go off any
moment. Chris uses his power to shield Jamieson inside a force shield. the
bomb blows off, killing Jamieson, but everyone else remains safe.
Doctor Nefes is arrested.

The CIA celebrates the victory, but the team is worried about Jamieson’s
employer while Chris gets a weird feeling in his aura.

Sector 2.
James following his routine as the king, visits a small nursery as the yearly
king’s visit tradition. Lots of kids, belonging to different species, rushed towards
him as soon as he entered. The smile of the kids gave a real sparkling effect on
James’s mood, which had been quite disturbed lately on account of those
nightmares. The happiness and joyfulness of the kids touched James’s soul.
A little boy with gleaming joy and excitement showed James a hand-drawn
picture of the palace and in return, received lots of praise and appreciation
from the king.
James's attention is disturbed when he receives a phone call from Lance.
Soon, the smile that was on James’s face disappeared. James gets up and
apologizes to the children that he won't be able to stay any longer to which all
the happy faces became sad, but before leaving, James promises that he will
visit the nursery again. The children gift him a small handmade pendant. James
hurries back to the palace to find the faces of all the officials and soldiers filled
with fear.

James goes to the war room and looks over the central monitor, which has a
huge SONAR DIAL. The SONAR reflected that a huge spaceship was about to
enter the upper atmosphere of the capital.
‘Engage all defenses, shield the planet up, put the Airforce on the sky, and bring
out the hydro cannon. We are under attack.’
Soon, a force shield is set all over the planet, securing it from outer attacks.

It was Recaspian attacking the capital…laser cannons from the ship were aimed
at the planet, but the shield blocked them all. Soon, a fleet of soldiers in the
small spaceships advanced towards the planet but the shield again blocked
them off. James ordered the use of the hydro cannon, which in one shot
destroyed 6 smaller ships of the enemy.
Before James can give the next command, the leader arrives and attacks James
from behind, taking both of them out of the castle. They clashed against each
other in midair. Their attacks were sending shockwaves across the sky, and they
were so fast that they were not visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the force shield that was not allowing Recaspian to enter started to wear
out. Not only the shield but also the hydro cannon started to malfunction. The
following things were only possible if someone from inside made modifications
to it. It was clear now, someone had betrayed Sector 2, The question was,
who?

As the shield disappears, Recaspian and the smaller troops advance towards
the capital.
The soldier general Leonard of the capital looks at the enormous size of
Recaspian. sweat drips from his face, he looks back at the whole Sector 2 army
and addresses
‘Men, women, and all those who are here, we signed up for this exact moment,
to protect our land, our home, our future. Sector 2 needs our blood, breath,
sweat, and effort. Remember, my soldiers, we fight, we fight for our land till our
last breath. Soldiers, pickup your arms, get into your positions…and
ATTACK…………’
The soldiers, all pumped up after the speech, advance and attack. The two
armies clash, swords clanging and arrows being aimed everywhere.
Soon, the civilians were being targeted, and the sector 2 soldiers shifted their
primary focus to saving the civilians. The battle became quite unfair, as the
Leader's forces and Arthur’s men made the largest army in the galaxy, while the
main defense of sector 2 was destabilized by a mole. It was quite evident that
the sector 2 army was no match for the enemy.
The arrival of Bettany Sanders brings a ray of hope to the home planet. She
destroys hundreds of smaller ships in one fell swoop. Her light blasts were
creating enough problems for the enemy However, the leader calls in the
Leviathan, a massive serpent-like creature that begins attacking the civilians.
Bettany diverts the creature away from the planet.

James slowly started to realise that it was all along a master plan, but it was too
late. He started to become frustrated as he went to save the civilians but the
leader was not letting him.
‘What would killing the innocent bring you?’
‘It’s the only way, James.’

The leader blasts a huge aura beam at James and he falls on the ground.
An exhausted James gets up, blood dripping from his face. His eyes soon notice
something: it was the nursery he previously visited, but it was destroyed, and
the corpses of the children lay battered on the floor.
This sight made James break down; he became really angry and looked down in
agony. The leader arrives behind him, and James lands a dangerous punch on
him. His speed and strength were significantly amplified and were radiating
peak aura energy.
This was the first time, even the leader became afraid. The significant power
boost was a bit too much for the Leader. James engulfed with anger, lands
numerous fatal blows on the leader. He now turns his attention on the enemy
soldiers, James was radiating so much energy that even the soldiers could feel
it.

In the next moment, James realizes that most of the capital soldiers have been
killed, the palace has fallen, and the entire city is in flames. The civilians who
survived the slaughter would soon be consumed by the fire. James understands
how he was betrayed and that the entire battle was merely a means to reach
him. If he had surrendered, this tragedy could have been avoided. ‘ It could all
have been prevented. '
At that moment, James refused to fight any longer. He dropped to his knees,
gazing over the burning city.
The leader, heavily injured, got back on his feet, picked up the sword lying next
to him, and approached James.
James: Do it…

The leader, for the first time in public, opens his helmet. ‘It's been an honour.’
The leader, feeling that his hands were becoming heavy, tightened the grip of
the sword, and with a deep breath, struck James, beheading him. The strike
sent tremors across the whole universe.
