Journey Towards Truth

Clash of energy between Ronnie and Raj made tremors throughout the Facility.

"Both of you stop." a voice echoed. It was Bhanu.

That single sentence from him made both Raj and Ronnie freeze on the spot. Energies erupting from them vanished.

"I expect nothing less from the right hand man of Mr Narad."

Kashyapa was surprised. Till now he only heard rumors about him in his meeting but observing his capabilities forward of himself was another experience.

Narad explained to Kashyapa, "although Bhanu is only at Rathi level, his real strength far exceeds even Ati-Rathis."

"Bhanu!"

"Yes boss."

"Release them."

"Both of you can move now."

Both were confused about what happened to them.

"Who stopped me?" Ronnie angrily asked.

"Ronnie! You both are lucky that Mr Bhanu didn't use his full strength." Kashyapa replied.

Raj was calm at that time but Ronnie was not happy. He tightly gripped his fist. But out of respect to his father he didn't make a move.

While Om, unable to process the scene, found it fascinating.

"This is only a fraction of their true strength. I cannot even imagine how much stronger they will become in the future."

"Both of you, we are gathered here to find the depth of your strength.So, maintain some dignity." Narad glared at Ronnie.

He asked, "Sara is everything ready."

"Yes boss."

Sara asked Bhanu "Bhanu take them both to the field."

Bhanu didn't reply and moved towards the lift.

"Ronnie and Raj, both of you follow Mr Bhanu." Said Kashyapa.

Both looked at each other. A will to defeat their opponent formed a spark between them.

Their attitude made others a bit shy.

All together thought, "this battle, we should cancel it."

Kashyapa timidly asked Narad, "I think we should discipline them".

Abruptly, a message came to Sara's phone.

After looking at it. She notified Narad "Boss we are ready."

Narad announced, "Everyone let's move."

A blue light appeared below their feet. While others were calm, Om was fascinated, his eyes opened wide and a big smile formed on his face.

He thought, "Almost everyday something fascinating happens here."

And they all teleported to somewhere.

On Bhanu side.

They are in a tunnel. It was forged with some kind of matel. At the end of it, light came.

The closer they get to it the brighter it becomes.

Although Ronnie and Raj are going in the same direction, still they are trying to ignore each other.

Finally, they reached the end of the tunnel. Out of it they found themselves in a circular dome shaped arena surrounded by some kind of barrier.

The barrier looked transparent but nothing was visible out of it.

"What is this place?" Raj curiously asked.

Ronnie was also curious. He also wanted to ask but Raj asked before him.

"This is an arena created for the sole purpose of accessing and training inheritors. It exists in a separate dimension. So go all out."

The whole dimension was empty like a void. Only the arena and a platform made of transparent tile like glass exist there.

"take positions." Bhanu declared.

Both stood afar facing each other. Standing in the middle Bhanu started to explain the rules.

Rule no. 1- battle with everything you got.

Rule no. 2- don't try to kill.

Rule no.3- if any of you are unable to continue. Say "you give up".

"Have both of you understood everything?"

Both loudly accepted, "yes."

Bhanu from the middle turned his face towards Raj. Suddenly a voice came to Raj's mind.

"Raj, don't use your whip."

It was Bhanu's message, telepathically.

Surprised Raj thought, "how capable is he?"

Then Bhanu raised his right hand and asked.

"Are you ready?"

Both simultaneously replied, "yes, I'm ready".

"Then fight." and Bhanu vanished from there.

Energy exploded from them.

In a split second, energy from Ronnie switched with lightning and he disappeared.

Then, he suddenly appeared in front of Raj.

Others on that floating platform were focused on the battle.

Ronnie had a devilish smile on his face and was about to punch Raj.

However, Raj also smiled at him.

Ronnie's punch phased right through Raj's face. And Raj turned into a black fog and he disappeared.

Ronnie, still in the middle of the air , felt pain. A kick landed on his abdomen.

Ronnie screamed.

From that blow,he bounced a few times on the floor and hit the barrier. A cloud of dust formed around him lying there.

"Is that all you have, kid." Raj mocked Ronnie.

From the dust of that cloud, a light sparked and passed close to Raj's right shoulder.

A cut appeared on his shoulder and he bled.

"So energy based attacks can hurt you." said Ronnie.

The cloud disappeared and Ronnie appeared. Around him multiple lightning orbs started to form.

He launched all those orbs towards Raj.

Raj transformed into a shadow on the floor and traveled towards Ronnie.

Then Ronnie started to attack that shadow.

Boom, blam, boom.

The arena began to echo with explosions.

Not a single attack of Ronnie landed on Raj. He realised something.

"So, even on the ground, my attacks can hurt you."

Ronnie formed multiple lightning spears and launched all of them towards Raj's shadow.

All those spears pierced the ground around that shadow and trapped it.

On top of it a big lightning orb appeared.

But the shadow disappeared.

Ronnie panicked.

Ronnie looked all around him but could not locate Raj's location.

On the platform, everyone was fascinated.

From them, Sara asked, "their strength is already comparable to half Rathis."

At the same time, in his mind, Om was simulating different scenarios and tactics to use against them.

With all his might he used his brain to its limit and fell unconscious.

On the battle field, the entire area started to get covered in thick back fog.

"Now, your speed is useless and there is no target to attack."

"You are in my trap?".

Instead of running and attacking, Ronnie stood in the middle and joined his both palms (Namaskar mudra). Wind began to blow around like a twister.

On the audience side, Om was in the lap of Sara and other soldiers were gathered around them.

"Miss Sara, is Om Okay." Kashyapa asked anxiously.

"He is fine. Just fell unconscious." She replied."

Narad told his soldiers, "take Om to his room."

Soldiers took Om from Sara and teleported from there.
