"You'll do anything to us, I'll tear it... But will not hand it to you!"
"You've always been a kid and so will you remain till your end... I hope it's started! Been six years", Oliver sniggered.
"I know it's been! I cannot use the last formula to save myself, can I?", said Harry ironically.
"My dear brother, Harry... What if I call you Ossy... I like it!", Oliver was still on the ship. Robert also stood beside him as a staunch-supporter of his virtuous master.
"I do too"
"You seem a bit overconfident"
"I don't Oliver! Not at least like you", Harry was still peeping through the window with Peter who was not able to understand the clear topic. About Oliver's entry and all. Harry had Ramesh's shield in his hands. On which it was boldly inscribed THE SPIRITS.
"You shouldn't. You made a family and what you call them, THE SPIRITS?", Oliver was confident, "But that family's loyalty and allegiance never belonged to you. This allegiance always belonged to someone else... Right from the starting!"
"I was right", Peter broke the conversation, "My intuition was right! That's a betrayal"
"It was always a betrayal..."
It was all night! Pitch-darkness with ghostly silence among all. At this hour, there wasn’t much crowd around. But was enough for sacrifices! People in homes, came out after they heard a sign of disturbance. The rest of the scene was shocking for all. Also, the headquarters of THE SPIRITS was being renovated for other purposes and there were many people in the building too.
Amongst the hither and tither, the brothers showed no sign of violence among the people who ran for their lives with no place to approach. They all had to return to rest their fate in the hands of destiny or even Harry! It was The Spirits who could save them. The crowd relaxed until there was nothing between the brothers except some talks they deemed to be useless. They were all trained troops because most of them were those who worked in THE SPIRITS five days ago! They were taught by Ramesh and many of them were quite brilliant!
They were a bit frightened but running away from the situation was not in their drops of blood. Many returned to satisfy their souls and rested their adherence to Harry. They believed him that he was right after they saw the circumnavigating vehicle. Some of them reported the police and instant actions were taken!
At this instance, David, Sapna, Valencia, Charlotte and Edwin were tired of waiting for Harry! They were nearby and in the radius of the headquarters. Charlotte knew everything! She knew Oliver was coming for the friends and was imagining the sequence of trouble which would have been created. Her trouble turned into reality when everyone's ear was struck with dreadful screams of the people around! That distance was enough for all! Still, David took the lead and asked everyone to stick to the plan.
The talks between the identical twins continued. Each of them trying to bring the other on knees. Both of them were waiting for a perfect moment.
"Will you hand me the book now?", Oliver started again.
"Do you literally deem that?", Harry responded.
"No, I don't think you will!... Still, brother, I ask you to join me! Chose your side... I will welcome you! And that's my promise! Don't you hear all these screams? Do you want to bereave them? Children, family, men, women... All of them!"
Oliver's voice was audible to the crowd, too and this sentence created a series of an insignificant rush.
"They have chosen their sides, Oliver... I want to live but not in captivity and I think these won't too..."
"You're allowing your friends to die for you this night! You don't stand a chance! Sapna won't retrieve the demeanour you lost Harry! This is all about demeanours", Oliver chuckled after the sentence.
"You have all the news? Nothing's secret then?", Harry was a bit frightened.
"Nothing is a secret to me! The truth unleashes itself!"
"Yes, it does! Then why don't you unleash yourself! Why you want me to meet the same fate as my father! He is kept captive in dungeons for so long!", Harry screamed.
"Wait...Errr...Shhhh", Oliver replied calmly and in an ironical way, "I won't treat you like father! But even worse if I wish..."
"Ready for it!!", Harry calmed himself and didn't lose patience, "You talk about truth, Oliver! Tell your citizens how you won! Tell them how it happened that night! In the garden... Mumbai... A brother who esteemed you and you tried to bomb him... How you looked and stared in our eyes! Treachery flows through your blood and I don't hope that it won't from your followers, then?"
"You remember? Past?"
"Some of them! Saturated images in dreams!"
"Blessing, isn't it? My plan failed, then... First tried to kill you at the time you became the Bomb Victim which ended up in your memory loss and then that stupid Rogers saved you! You would've succumbed to injuries and wounds."
"Rogers' no more, Oliver! Better not blame his soul!"
"You believe in them? Souls??", Oliver tried to tease Harry's sentimental feelings, "There's nothing like that! But who'd tell that to people like you?"
"I am glad there are people like me... I don't believe in souls, Oliver, but what I believe is that they stay with us in our hearts until the very end... So will Rogers, Ramesh and my mother, too! You told me that she's dead! I may not remember her face and not even her voice but my heart beats for her, for everyone... And after all this, it will forever!"
"Feeling sentimental, then? This is not the right time for sentiments, is it? That's why I believe and assume you to be vile"
"Vial?", Harry heard vile to be vial.
"Not 'vial', foolish? How can you live with yourself, Harry, with that behaviour?", Oliver vexed.
"I don't know", Harry said sarcastically. He wanted to infuriate Oliver to an extent that he loses his patience and control giving Harry a moment to take the lead, "Its a question of inflection! Perhaps, I should say, you should pronounce clearly!"
"Harry, this is the moment... The final hours of this twenty-four year-long journey and you shall focus yourself at a point that you want to triumph... This is the lack of demeanours, Harry and I hope you understand"
"Is it like that? Oliver, this world is so perplexing that I cannot explain. Demeanours is a behaviour one has and Crown Of Powers gifted us that! But that doesn't mean one cannot inherit or develop! It's complex"
"It is, Harry, as you see but one cannot match the demeanours the Crown of Powers gifted us!"
All of a sudden, Oliver lost his patience as Harry wanted. But perhaps, no one had seen the real power of that circumnavigating vehicle. Robert Brooke's expression displayed that he had no interest in the talks the brothers had. Therefore, he murmured something in Oliver's ear and then in a blink of an eye, a crackle was heard in the silence accompanied by the talks. The pitch-dark atmosphere gave way for a straight beam of light from the vehicle that floated in the mid-air. Colours got dissolved in the ever-absorbing qualities of the spectrum that conducted through the beam.
From the bottom-front of the vehicle, Oliver had fired an infrared, tight and sizzling laser beam towards the headquarters. The couple of friends were on the top floor and the beam was fired in the middle. It intended to maim Harry and not kill him. Oliver wanted to murder him brutally and wished to see the light leave his eyes!
On the other hand, the building had collapsed with the middle floor totally into chunks and segments and the floor on the top crumpled over the ground floor. No one was on the topmost floor except the friends and many lied inside the building. People in the middle floor had totally disintegrated because of the blazing laser. Others succumbed to their injuries because all the detritus and the ruins of the building fell on them!
The friends were still alive... Harry could prevent these major attacks and Peter, because of Ramesh's blood, had more endurance to prevent these. He had the will to live and fight for Harry. Harry, in the microsecond of reaction, thought Peter would die due to the collapsing building. Both the friends fainted with a lot of detritus over them! Very difficult to breathe even... The old stacked pages of the Mesoteph Mythology was all ruined. The quality of the book, indeed, was not good and did not have enough endurance to resist this huge amount of force; resulting in the visibility of torn pages here and there all around! Oliver's main intention was now not possible to be fulfilled. Still, he wanted Harry to be eliminated this time.
Ramesh's shield, however, survived all the physical force of the building. Its elevation in the debris was much lower than the friends. The friends lied fainted in the first layer of all the debris around. The metallic logo of THE SPIRITS that was once the proud of this building was taken down after Harry fled and was not in this building! It remained on the ground floor, very next, where the debris finished its irregular triangular dust and dirt.
Oliver sent his troops downside to check for Harry and Peter. The troops were looking all around displacing big pieces of metallic rocks. The Earthians were made captive there itself and were ordered not to move. Oliver, still, was sitting in the vehicle looking around the macabre situation.
At this instance, the rest of the team (David and Others) was now becoming more and more impatient to stay there! They heard all the sounds but still waited patiently.
Meanwhile, after a lot of hard work, the troops had found the stupor bodies of the friends. They weren't dead and Oliver was well-aware. They dragged their bodies towards the ship and Oliver had descended from the mid-air navigating vehicle. He came near Harry's wounded motionless body and started beating him with his iron arm. Harry's whole body was filled with wounds and Oliver thought that he'd be defeated too early. By then, a lot of armies were ascending in the battle area to take control of simple Earthians around the globe.
"Harry, I didn't think, it'd be too easy to defeat you. Here lies your stupor body and I am afraid I won't be able to listen to your voice again", Oliver said ironically with all the dramatic expressions he could accumulate.
Robert followed Oliver to every place. Peter's body was kept at one side! None of his bones were broken and Harry also had wounds that incessantly increased with Oliver's punches. Oliver took both the bodies. Handled them with their neck collars dragging through the rocky road and made them sit with the support of THE SPIRITS metallic logo that was kept nearby.
"This was your team...The Spirits...The nasty name", Oliver giggled and laughed all around the silence. Only his cruel voice was heard among the eerie and creepy atmosphere with the dark-toned night that was delineating the world's extinction or mass-captivity under Oliver, "They didn't come to save you, even... Where are they? Where are your SPIRITS, Harry? I don't see anyone around except these eccentric people? You were always naive enough to think that you stood a chance against me...Tell me where are they? Those who complete your conscience...". Oliver kept repeating the name Spirits grossly all around. Laughing wickedly increasing the heart-beats of the people trying to save them.
Harry's unconscious mind started all its activity when it was executing the words that went against the SPIRITS. Same was with Peter. They slowly came back to their states of control. Understood what the situation was. Harry tried to fight back. His wounded body didn't allow him to. It became very difficult for him to even stand. But he did. He looked at the Spirits logo once and gained all the confidence he was able to. With all his force in the iron arm, he tried to whack Oliver on his face which he easily defended. As a response, Oliver bet him on his stomach and then understanding Harry's encounters, he counter-attacked them.
"Harry, this is the power of the demeanours, I told you six years ago.", started Oliver again.
"Oliver, I don't kno....know...", Harry stuttered because of his condition, "But you're wrong and so will you remain. I hope if Ralph, father, was here. He would have taught you the lesson of life."
"He never will. What made you remember him, Harry? He doesn't matter here.
"Just intuition. I wish he was here. I wish everyone was here. But it's not possible now.", Harry said this while staring at Peter who was just watching all this lying with the support of the metallic logo.
Abruptly, when Oliver was ready to begin his sentence, the silence was broken with the sound of a closing portal. A man with big moustaches and short white hair entered the field just at the back of Oliver. That man was dressed in a prisoner's clothes and came with an avenging fury. His eyes were gleaming with his core wish to revenge someone.
This gave Harry some time to relax and helped Peter to stand up.
The other face of the coin revealed that David and others had become impatient. Now, the limit to wait for Harry's call got over. David decided to open up a portal and land in the headquarters. He just thought the place and incanted-
LONDUS...INCANTUM...FIVTUM...TRAVILIO
That opened up a portal through which all of them trod in.
The first face of the coin was still in mystery about the man. None had seen his face till now. That man didn't say anything and just slapped Oliver who was turning behind to see the interrupting man.
"Get away from my good son...Oliver", it was Ralph who had entered the field.
Harry, after giving a hand to Peter, was astonished to see his father.
"Father, you?", Oliver quavered.
"Yes, it's me"
"How'd you? You were in the..."
"In the dungeons, right?", Ralph interrupted, "That happens Oliver when you bring all the army to conquer a planet."
"That Means?"
"There was no guard in the dungeons and there's been mass-breakout from the prisons. You've got an extensive security problem."
"I'll solve it later, then... But you can't help Harry. The fight's between us"
"The fight between you brothers was finished from the moment you tried to bomb Harry. Tell me, if its the fight between you two, then why are these people punished... This fight is for everyone who is against you Oliver."
"And I am afraid that's the majority of the population.", Peter broke in.
"Well said. Oliver, you're gonna lose today! All of your bad deeds will pay off"
"That we’ll see, father. Maybe you don't meet the same fate as my mother did, then!"
"No... She won't consider you her son! Right from the starting you've been creating disturbances in our life"
"I am glad"
Oliver, after this sentence, was left with no words to speak! David's portal had also opened behind Harry as another interruption. All of a sudden, the scene was changing. The captive people who were kneeled got the bravery to fight for Harry. Some of them behaved eccentric but none noticed. Furthermore, the police that was called had arrived now and was left with no words to explain all this. They stood in covers holding guns to fight.
Harry stood in the middle of the crowd. He had his teammates back and everyone supported him in this.
"That's THE SPIRITS, Oliver who complete me... Let's end this mess that started back in 1995. This is a united movement on behalf of everyone who became your victim and your greed for the throne shall end today and it will. Today, one of us will live without the other identical twin."
"Still, Harry if I even lose", Oliver said bluntly, "I won't let you win. In any case, victory would be mine."
Oliver spoke these sentences as if it was true and Ralph's reactions unleashed that he knew the reason behind Oliver said this.
"That's enough Oliver", Ralph snubbed.
Harry, on this, shouted in front of everyone with THE SPIRITS surrounding him:-
SPIRITS...This is the time...Let's Do Something Different
Wonderfully written! Waiting for the fight
