8. Bang Bang

July 1, 2015

Nicole’s Bar.

There was terror on Swapna’s face already. She wanted to take her steps back, but the downfall was inevitable.

Swapna was already on the terrace hall of Nicole Bar. Bill’s close associates were invited. Well, Bill didn’t have any close friends. But there were some termites he needed to use in order to achieve this short term success. Once the eggs have been lay, and food is been collected for the hard times, what’s the use of poor worker ants?

It’s preferable to crush them, because now that the intense power was coming into hands these termites were useless luggage he needed to get rid. Indeed yes, this ceremony was more kind of a slaughter party.

Bill entered the hall in late evening. He was in his gentleman dress with that wicked smile on his face. He was more confident now. Invited people were already waiting and curious about what’s gonna happen to the city. They were promised to get the antidote as was Vivek sir. He was invited too. But he was lucky enough to decline it.    

Behind Bill came D, macho man, solid hunk. D wasn’t his birth name.  But something what profession gave him. D for Determination, D for Dynamic, D for Dedication. He never shared his real identity that was the rule of him.

D was following Bill to the centre of the room. Swapna interrupted his walk and pulled him out. Bill turned and found D was missing, he asked a nearby guard who said he went in the direction of restroom.

Swap dragged D into Women’s restroom and closed the door. D shook off his hands.

“WTF Swapna!” D exclaimed

“We were wrong to trust Bill..” Swapna cried

“What are you saying?”

“Bill is about to kill all the men invited to this party. All the men he promised antidote and immortality are gonna be killed” Swapna sobbed.

“Are you insane?” D turned around rubbing his forehead. “Shit… That’s why he has ordered to bring so much guns… Shit..”

“I’m worried he might kill us too..” said Swapna.

“I doubt that though, he needs us for many things. Won’t kill us so easily.” Replied D

“Yeah… that’s right… but then too… he is dangerous… we cant keep open revolver on our scalp.”

“So what do you say we should do?” asked D

“I have a plan. There is only one anti-dote which I’m supposed to inject into Bill tonight. While I will be doing that I would remove some part of it. He would never know. Half amount of it is enough to achieve that power. There is no way Bill can come to know about this.I want you to find a man explain him about this and inject the remaining liquid into him.”  explained Swapna.

“If it’s that so why I can’t take the other part of the liquid? Am I inadequate?” demanded D

“Sorry D, But I don’t want to lose you…” said Swapna in low voice.

“How would you lose me if that anti-dote makes me immortal?” buzzed D.

“That serum would drive away you insane, great power diminishes the sanity” said Swapna.

D’s phone rang, “Hey Bill is calling, I gotta go. I’m in with your plan.”

D stepped closer to Swapna wanting to kiss, but she just drove herself aside.

D walked out of the room and answered the call. Bill called to recheck all the arrangement.

D was anxious after he heard the truth about Bill. He as well was expecting such devilish thing from disastrous mind of Bill. But the reality seemed to be more painful.

He walked to Shreya, one of her very good worker from Bill’s company.

“Hey Shreya, listen to me carefully, there is a very shitting thing happening here. I want you not ask any questions and do me a small favour. Go downstairs in the bar and convince any drunk man to come to room no. 261. I will be waiting there.”

“There isn’t gonna be any trouble I guess.” Shreya asserted.

“Certainly not.” replied Bill

******************************

Present day,

The noise behind the big doors suddenly shuddered to silence. It was clearly the indication that they were gone. But Rai-Bro was under no intention to take any risks. First in his lifetime he saw death from such close proximity. And yes, He stunned to bone. Enjoying death in MMORPGs are easy and celebrating it is more wonderful. But when death walks pass by our own grave, real fly comes out of this thick skin.

Kai Ankito whispered silently, “Rai, are you alright?” Though normal man’s shouting is her whispering. She was silent this time. Rai-Bro heard the words but was afraid to answer back. Kai-Ankito stood up, moonlight dripped in from a small hole straightly falling upon shaking body of Rai.

Kai walked to him speaking softly, “I think they are gone, we should get out of her to find a better place. We are not safe here anymore.”

“No.. No.. nothing more.. Please leave me alone. Go away, I can’t take anymore.”

“Rai please..” Kai moved her hands over his shoulders, he pushed her away.

All of sudden, the doors started to shack. But that wasn’t a push, it was a civilized knock.

“Kai, are you in there?” a hoarse voice spoke from the other side of the door.

“Looks like someone is alive” Kai smiled to Rai. “I recognize this voice,” Kai shouted, “Chiburam, it that you??”

The voice replied, “Correct Madam, back to your service!”

The Ankito opened the doors, Chiburam and Bishwa entered inside with Guns in their hand. Rai slowly came out of his hiding appearing someone who just pissed his own pants. But seeing these men, directly of gutter, stinking like hundred years old rotten meat with big riffles and guns in their hands, Rai felt hell lot of a confidence.

“Now let's get out of here” commanded Kai Ankito.

**************************

Water splashed the shore as Swapna and D pulled Gauri’s body out of the water. She was cold, cold as ice. Swapna laid Gauri in recovery position pressing her back firmly. Gauri started spitting water. She coughed and spat and coughed.

“Good lord, she is conscious I guess.” Said D touching her arm “ What’s the golden arm??” Immediately he was pushed back to car with a shock. “aaahh….” He screamed as he flew 10 meters away in air.

Swapna took her step back running towards D.

“what happened??” she asked

“I just got electro executed.” D shivered.

“How… how’s that possible” Swapna turned to Gauri who was managing to get on her feet.

“I.. I… I… don’t…” D exhaled his last breathe.

“D.. D… wake up D, what happened.. hey D..” Swapna cried shaking D, she saw no pulse in his hand stood and burst on Gauri.

“Who are you??? What did you just do?? Answer me..???”

Gauri wiped the sand on her lips taking forward steps, “You are the one who was involved in bringing this shit here… correct… you were both his partners correct… You are the ones who helped Bill in this Devastation, correct...”

“How do you know this?” questioned Swapna.

“Answer to my question bitch, Yes or No??” spoke Gauri angrily.

“Yes.. but…” muttered Swapna.

“No more words from your scoundrel mouth.” Spat Gauri and punched Ground with full power. The ground cracked and broke open running towards Swapna’s car and flung it high in the air. Car fell on the ground and then Swapna crashed back first on it. The glass broke; she bled and bruised in pain.

“ I didn’t mean to but.. I didn’t mean to.. Sorry.. sorry..” she wept.

Gauri was walking towards the car that she felt something, it was some powerful source to energy in near vicinity, it was approaching very quick. She felt it more clearly, yes it was none other the Bill. She pounced towards the direction of it.

***************

Vivek’s assistant offered Sarvesh and Mayur glass of red wine.
Samantha spoke, “You guy looks too week!! Like drained out of nutrition from centuries.”

Mayur and Sarvesh thank the assistant.

Mayur asked “So you have the best class doctors here to cure Ajay?”

“Indeed Yes” she answered

“Do you think he can get his arm back?” Sarvesh enquired.

“Damn sure I’m” said Samantha, “BTW, who are you Gentleman?” to Sarvesh

Sarvesh was about to speak, Mayur interrupted, “Just a man we met on the road, he helped us with car and we helped him to survive. We owe him a lot” he lied

“Oh nice, Looking at your shoes and physique, I thought maybe you are some army guy. Was about order my guards to kill you. We strictly do not entertain government officials here.” said Samantha taking a sip from Sarvesh’s glass.

“umm… At this time of calamity, still you care about government? I mean the city is devastated. No one daring to step a foot help us.” spoke Sarvesh

“Well, we already knew something like this was about to happen, and that’s why we are so well prepared…” she replied.

‘SAMANTHA Please REPORT OPERATION THEATRE IMMEDIATELY’  announcement was made.

“I gotta go” she said and rushed towards the room.

“Your boss knew about this everything?” Sarvesh asked, “And Thanks for that lie, you almost saved me.”

“Mention not…. and no I didn’t have any Idea about this. I was more like a freelancing man” replied Mayur.

Ajay opened his eyes mildly, Vivek sir was there by his side smiling. Ajay tried to wake up.
“Don't more, you are on Antibiotics right now, will be feeling little giddiness.” said Vivek calmly.

“Thank you so much, Thank you so much sir. Are we safe now?”

“Yes we are!” Vivek asserted.

“Can you get my arm back?” asked Ajay

“Yes We can” assured Vivek, “Doctor will perform the operation in 2 hours.”

Vivek turned around was about the leave the room, the lights went off. Darkness everywhere with just emergency indicators on.

“What The Fuck!!! Someone get the generator on. See what’s the problem. Samantha, Get it done. Now” shouted Vivek.

“Sir, please don’t go any where. Stay here.” cried Ajay.

Emergency siren was raised, Vivek’s commandos was running on the corridor taking their positions on the roof top.

“Wait a sec Ajay, I will be right back” said Vivek and came out of the room.

Samantha came running towards Vivek, he in anger slapped her hard and she fell on the ground. He was furious right now. She cut her lips and it bled.

“I gave you small responsibility to handle, but weren’t able to do even that? Shame on you!!! Now tell me whats happening”

Samantha wept but replied firmly, “Our security shield is broken, someone is coming towards us, I guess it’s him”

*****************

Kai with her three men army, Chiburam, Rai-Bro and new mate Bishwa came out the Bombay talkies with all the ammu the had inside. Kai was more cautious than ever.

She gave the key of her Range Rover to Rai-bro who indeed was a good car driver as well and waited on the driveaway checking around everywhere, suddenly she saw something huge big gigantic.

Bishwa said, “What’s that !! A Hippo in dress..??”

Chiburam said, “Na!!! I think that’s a rhino gone mad, and it’s coming towards us.!!Someone let the zoo t gates open”
Kai, “shut up!.. neither an Hippo nor a rhino… it's something like human, she is coming near. Load your guns and fire!!”

They fired 3 rounds of bullet on the approaching creature. It stopped. It was now more near so that the can see her clearly. He had body of women, resembled replica of earth. Round, bulging from all angles. Her mouth was dripping blood she drank and hand’s bled blood that were shot by the bullets. On her neck was a bite mark. Dark enough to look out someone powerful had bitten her.

Kai exclaimed, “I know her.. I know her well, she is Zuzhila, Bill’s elder sister. I can tell her from her fatness and the shitty face.OMG Bill bite her and gave her his power.”

Bishwa, “Oh shit! Correct, she is Zuzhila, fattest lady of town. Our municipality has get special maintenance of sewer tanks of her are due to her.”

“Enough of non-sense man, she is dangerous now.” said Chiburam.

Zuzhila shouted with her dirty mouth spilling green-blue sluggish fluid on the ground, “Kai I know how strong you are, how clever you are. That’s why I want to make you an offer. Come join me and my brother on this quest to conquer the world. We will give you your share and will leave happily ever after.”
Kai stepped forward reloading her gun, “I will never accept that offer in my seven lives.”

“Re-think,you intelligent lady. This way we could avoid lots of drama and get rid of these bugs and termites real soon.” said shitty Zuzhila.

“Zuzhila, I know you are the best business woman. But I’m not accepting your offer.” replied Kai.

“Fine than, You just lost a chance to save your life.”

Zuzhila dashed towards Kai with great speed of a truck. Kai luckily dodged.

Zuzhila stood laughing while Kai was side on the ground. Chiburam then shoot Zuzhila into her chest. Bishwa started shooting too. But that Sister of a bitch was just absorbing the bullets. She ate it like tablets into her skin. Chibya and Bishwa just kept on shooting. After some time, they were out of ammu.
“Aah… Yummy appetizer I must say. Needed little more spice” Zuzhila laughed. “Lemme give you some tip.”

Zuzhila inhaled an enormous amount of air burped it right onto Chibya and then on Bishwa. They flew in air with that dirty breathe and lost all their consciousness.

Zuzhila walked Kai and said, “Now let's talk some serious business”

*******************

Lights were out. Sirens were blaring. Guards were at all the corners of the building. Vivek felt little tension on his head. He ran towards his basement. The safest place he thought and also where he stored his defence suit. He took his keys to unlock the door, but the door was already open. He slowly opened the door. There was only a red emergency lit which fell straight on a bald head. He lifted his head up. With eyes all read and stains of blood on his face.
“Finally, we met.” Said Bill.
Vivek ran grabbed the gun he kept on the table just few steps away.

“And also the last time” Vivek loaded his gun.

“You would haved died in peace that night party if you hadn’t decided to miss it.” Spoke Bill.

“Maybe for that you needed Loyal members in your army.” Said Vivek pointing his gun on Bill.

“Well, I didn’t had any back there. But now I have this whole city loyal to me except few mess.”
“Let me clear the biggest mess than.” Said Vivek and shot his gun. It was an electric gun that shot a ball of massive charge on Bill’s chest.

But Bill was only pushed back a little by that.Room was lighted for a second. The next moment Bill had his hands on Vivek’s neck pinned against the wall.

“Bloody common human.” Bill threw him outside the basement window on the ground.

Broken glasses pierced into his face. His mouth was full of blood. He wanted to curse and fight back. But now his broken body wasn’t letting him to do.

Bill jumped outside.

Snipers standing on the top of building started shooting Bill. But the bullets were only able to create rash marks which vanished after few seconds.

Bill kicked Vivek’s neck. The shallow eyes had gaze fixed on Bill with anger. Shots were continuously fired on Bill’s back. Now there was few blood drops spilling out. But Bill didn’t cared.

Bill stepped on Vivek’s neck with his massive giant foot choking the breath out of him. Vivek spat blood, his body shook like fish without water.

The snipers were firing bullets, but now a rocket was fired on Bill.

He felt the shock and fell besides Vivek.

“Now thats how its needed to be done.” Spoke Mayur holding rocket launcher in his hands.

Bill stood up on his feet staring at Mayur. Suddenly another man jumped on him from the window with a long knife on his only one hand.

Ajay sliced the knife straight through Bill’s left eye, until Bill kicked him away. Ajay hurt his back straight on the wall.

As soon as Bill removed the knife from eye Mayur again fired on rocket at him. This time Bill had no time for defence he launched back on the fence wall breaking into the road.

Mayur laughed, “Losing your strength, huh?”

Bill stepped back and army of zombies started to surround him.

Bill gave a cruel gaze on Mayur and Zombies immediately rushed inside the building through the broken wall.

Ajay tried to get back to his feet as zombies approached him for their feast.

********************

(top of the RolZ Bar)

Gaurav suddenly woke from the sleep. Princess T was still asleep besides him on the chair. He glanced at her face. She still had terror on it flowing through her skin. Gaurav brought a nearby fallen coat and wrapped around her.

He went at the counter and brought a can of beer. He sat on the edge of terrace watching the undead city.

“Is he still alive? Will I be able to find him… Can I end this?” he thought sipping another shot. “The man I fought was way too tougher than me. I don’t think it’s possible for me to defeat. He was something else. Arggh… I WANT TO KILL THAT MAN” He threw the can down on the road. As he turned back, he heard an explosion few miles away.

He jumped out of the roof to another building to catch a better view.

He saw a building was burning ablaze.
“Might be some short circuit by undead creatures” he thought.

He looked more carefully, than he saw group of people fighting against a giant creature and now getting surrounded by zombies from everywhere.

“Another Bill?” he thought and ran towards the exploded scene jumping over the buildings.

Explosion sound was so loud that it shook all the nearby buildings.

Aftershock shook Rolz Bar too. Princess T tripped over the chair and fell down. She woke and ran immediately towards the balcony finding Gaurav disappearing towards the burning building.

*************************

It went through late evening fighting against Zuzhila beast. Bishwa & Chibya gave their best with guns. But it wasn’t enough. They lying on the far corner of the parking lot.

Zuzhila picked Kai who was brutally injured by her constant blow.

“So you decided not to accept my offer, right?” Zuzhila barked.

“Never even if I die.” Kai replied

“Let's taste you death then” Zuzhila began to squeeze Kai’s neck.

A vehicle came blaring towards them. Kai turned sleight of her eyes happen to see Rai-Bro in the car. There was no sign of Rai for last 3 hours after the Zuzhila appeared. Kai had nearly forgotten him for a coward runaway.

To save herself Zuzhila threw Kai on the car. Rai immediately felt the impulse and pulled the handbrake sliding the car towards right. And Kai came near to the car Rai opened his left door . And Kai landed straight on the front seat  besides Rai.

“You alright Ma’am?” Asked Rai.

Ankito smiled at Rai and saw in the back mirror Rai wasn’t alone in the car. There were more two people. There wearing SWAT jackets with high tech weapons around them. But as soon as Kai saw them, she figured out they weren’t professionals. But sometimes we have eliminate doubts for hope.

“I think you what to do agents” said Rai and opened the back doors.

Both stepped out from each side of the door holding big guns and grenades loaded around their waiste.

They walked like badasses at met each other at the front of the car.

She whispered in his ears, “Yaar Nehhal, tujhe jhoot bolne ki jaroorat thi kya?”

He replied, “Kya pata yeh Banda bhi Hamari madat na karta.”
She said, “But ab toh hame uski madat karne pad rahee hey…” Sonali looked at the gun, “Mujhe toh yeh bhi nahee pata yeh ON kahan sey hota hey.”

(in the car)

“How did you find them?” Kai asked

“When I went to bring the car, I heard their message on the radio. They said they are SWAT agents looking for rescue.”

“Didn’t you see they lied?” asked Kai.

“Maybe…” replied Rai

Sonali accidently fired one shot on the car windshield. Kai and Rai buckled out.

“Definite yes” screamed Kai.

Kai walked towards Sonali and pulled the Gun from her hands.

“This ain’t a toy girl!”

Zuzhila started pacing towards them and Kai & Nehhal began firing their guns. This time it wasn’t  any homemade indian gun, they were highly sophisticated SWAT gun.

The bullets hurt Zuzhila enough to make her bleed.

Shot was fired on her chest, her legs, her head. She was pushed backward and backward.

Rai-Bro blew the horn of the car and shouted, “Excuse me now!”

Kai asked “What?” and stepped right.

Rai-bro gave full accelerator to the Range Rover.

Zuzhila was injured by the bullets and its blow she didn’t saw the car blaring towards her.

She had no time to step aside. The car banged Zuzhila forcefully , dragging her painfully to the door of the theatre.

Her exhausted face was slammed against the glass of the car.As soon as the car hit the door, Rai took two grenades from back seat, unhooked its pin and left them on the seat. Rai bro immediately ran out the car.

Zuzhila still stucked against the wall.

The grenades exploded and car exploded with it too. The whole theatre caught fire, aftershock shaking everyone around.

Rai fell on the ground in front Kai. She picked him up and hugged him.

“That was awesome Rai!”

Bishwa and Chibya came running towards Nehhal cheerfully giving High Fives.

“We did it “ said Nehhal “Now let's get out of here”

They turned towards road and saw that the explosion had attracted all the zombies to that area.

“Shit man!” exclaimed Rai.

A Burning car came flying towards them from backside.

Chibya felt it and pushed everyone aside. They missed the car by few inches but Chibya didn’t.

It struck him like a cannon bolt. Flying and burning him in the air and killing there itself.

“Chibya!!!!” screamed Kai and turned.

The women emerged out of fire. Her hairs were all lit up. Cloths burnt up. Now she appeared like a Devil straight out of hell.

The building was burning behind her and she walked out of the fire.

Kai and Rai-Bro turned towards Zuzhila while Nehhal, Sonali and Bishwa aimed towards the zombies.

********************

It was late midnight, Geetika felt stressed. Stilling alone, quite forlorn.

She drank another glass of whiskey and threw the glass on the floor onslaught.

Suddenly she heard beeping sound in her shoes. After that she remembered it was the tracking device that are put in every SWAT officer’s shoes.

“It’s beeping.This means…” she stopped and ran to the window, “They are here..!” she saw a helicopter hovering over outside.

She rushed to the terrace. Helicopter had landed. Armed men came out.

Princess T was walking calmly. Mild relief was in heart

A Man, well dress with shades on still in pitch midnight walks out. Princess T recognizes the man.

“Mr. Schemer!” she screamed

“Do you expect me to leave my Princess to die?” the man spoke.

T increased her pace and hugged Schemer with joy.

“American agencies had declared you dead. But I had my tech guy to track your locating device. It didn’t show any movement for 16 hours.. But then few hours ago he got some signals. I was already waiting for you at New Delhi.” he said

“Thank you so much!!!!” Princess hugged him tight.

“Too much whiskey? Right..”he smiled.

She smiled back

“Common we gotta leave soon. This city will soon by in ashes in couple of hours.” said Schemer walking back to the chopper.

Princess stood froze.

“Why..?” she asked

“Indian government and American Army with United Nations has jointly decided to destroy the whole city to stop the epidemic of the virus… Didn’t you knew about Operation Fireworks?” asked Schemer.

“But there are still some survivors left. And We haven’t checked all the shelters. They still might be hiding somewhere hoping for help to arrive. We gonna let them die too?” Princess enraged.

“This is a joint decision of the world council. We can’t do anything. Are you gonna risk the faith of world for life of few thousand people?” he said.

“If they won’t. Then I will. I will stand for these few thousand people. If will fight for them.” said T

“Fight against whom? Millions of meat eating animals? This Mission has got you nuts! This crazy.” said Schemer.

“I was born crazy, I grew crazy and I think so were you.” replied T stepping towards Schemer. “What good is being a warrior, if you have to hide your ass and run.” She stepped more closer, “I want you join me in my fight. Will you help me?”

“From the day I met you, I’ve never been able to say no to you. How would I now? This time, it may cost me my life. Nevertheless I won't let my craziness get lost.”

“Thanks” she smiled.

“So what's the plan?” Schemer asked

Building shook, a tremor wave hit the ground.

“Quick get in!!!” shouted the pilot.

“Mumbai isn’t an earthquake prone area according to my knowledge.” said Schemer dragging Princess inside.

Princess didn’t replied. She stood staring far away startled.

“I hope he win this time!” she said.

As soon as everyone got inside. The chopper flew in the air and the building collapsed.

“Damn this is way stronger than an earthquake.” exclaimed the pilot as he saw other building as collapsing.

*******************

Sarvesh is inside the building when he sees Ajay crashing against the wall. He searches a gun and runs for help.

Ajay gets surrounded by zombies on all the sides. He has nothing with him to defend him.

Sarvesh tries shoots the gun in air, half of the zombies notices him and runs to him. Sarvesh shoots one, shoots two but they were unending. He sees zombies were still around Ajay. Sarvesh throws his shotgun to Ajay and he luckily catches it with his one hand and tries poke the zombies away.

Sarvesh immediately runs inside building, zombies follow him entering through the window.

There are zombies everywhere in the corridor too.

He looks right and left and behind, they were everywhere. Eating the guards, some trying to defend themselves, some were trying to run away.

Sarvesh picks up a chair as his shield and run towards left side of corridor. He manages to push away four zombies. But now they got gathered in numbers and Sarvesh was unable to push front.

Instead now he is being pushed back.

Sarvesh gives his full strength but it was of no use against nasty zombies.

He is pushed till the end of the lobby.

Sarvesh says pushing his best, “No God, Not like this.”

A door opens behinds back and is immediately pulled in, leaving the chair with zombies outside. She locks the door instantly and blocks it with desk and tables. Sarvesh helps her.

“Thank you Samantha”

Samantha comes closer to Sarvesh and smiles, “Maybe you can thank me like this”

She pushes him against the wall, pulling his head downwards and kisses him.

Biting his lips, playfully moving the tongue she pulls his messy hairs.

For a moment Sarvesh thinks what is he doing, should he do it. But another him inside his body commands, this ain't any time for such dull thoughts.

Sarvesh picks her up and puts her on the table. He unzips her tight skirts and she does the same to his pants and shirt.

“Rough ha… Army men likes rough sex?” she asks.

“You knew we were lying?” Sarvesh asks little worriedly.

“Yes, but I love liars. They know the best how to make love… you do right?” she asks sultry.

He pulls her closer pushing his body onto her. She moans in fantasy as he jerks her body back and front on the table.

There was banging and screaming on the door from inside as well as outside.

“Yes I do!” Sarvesh finally replies feeling the heat in his body.

“There is no better feeling than having rough sex at the end of the world, and you man! You just made that the best!” says Samantha breathing heavily in pleasure.
