An (Unfriendly) Reunion

'Bro bro bro... listen I literally have a sharp katana in my hand you can't expect me to fight when you just have a cheap wooden imitation, what if...' I was making him understand but got interrupted. If what haan you are telling me you can hurt me and that's an Odachi sword can't you tell the difference by looking at the handles? Hay how the hell am I supposed to know, I am not a professional blade Smith.

Haayea... suddenly Piyush attacked me with his wooden sword. 'And just so you know a wooden sword is called bokken so don't call it wooden imitation it's quite long and displeasing to ears' he shouted. 'Ok fine I replied.

Clang clang.. the sound of 2 objects stringing each other resonating in the surroundings. Surprisingly his wooden sword was doing better than I could have hoped for in fact he was pushing me back or was it because I was not attacking because he is my childhood friend, no maybe it's because I am an amateur in the art of swords and I am also afraid of hurting him my friend from my childhood I don't know why he is behaving like this but at least I could ask him questions while I am having this Odachi.

So my first question is 'How are uncle and aunty'? They are fire and are currently stationed at plant Terramos or what you call the planet "Kepler-452b".He replied.

The second question 'How did your forehead scar get so big did sorting happen'? I asked. "Back in the past, he had a vertical scar on his forehead right above his nose at that time it was small or I am hallucinating," I thought. 'No, you are right my scar did get bigger from the lite time because I have almost full control over it now' he replied. 'Control over what' I asked but suddenly Piyush send my sword flying in the air.

'Enough questions, you lose' he squealed. I was stunned at that point. Then Piyush hugged me in an emotional manner and said 'Long time no see my brother from another mother, it's been years since we saw each other. But I am sorry as well I have dragged you into a big mess actually, you have an abnormally massive mana pool inside you. If I come it to all of us it's 10 times mine and 100 times more than an ordinary human.'

His hug made even me emotional and said 'Don't worry I was never angry at you besides I don't have anyone to call family anymore besides you but what do you mean 100 times normal am I not a human...'. I slowly laughed. 'Well keeping that aside let's hear each other out. I know we have a lot to keep up with each other so it's my turn to ask questions from you and ash I also have to show you something' he said and took out an old album it's was bit old and its cardboard cover was in such a condition that it was hard to read it's the title but what I was able to read its title was maybe "Sweet Memories".

The album contained a lot of pictures of our lovely childhood. 'Remember this Rakesh' Piyush asked with joy. I nodded and replied 'crystal clear in my head I remember everything'. 'And this school cultural dance festival' Piyush asked. 'Hay what you guys doing in the middle of the night with an album?' Pragya interrupted our long lasted reunion. I was pissed but Piyush was even more pissed than me, and of course why not after all we meet after a very long time. We last saw each other when we were kids and now we are adults.

I put my hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eyes like I was saying 'stay calm' Piyush understood and tried to calm down. Pragya started peaking from above our shoulders and looked at one of our old memories in the album and asked 'What is this a play?'

'This is the picture of an act on Janmashtami Piyush was playing the role of God Krishna and I am here as beloved Radha' I replied and tried to calm down the atmosphere. But suddenly Pragya shouted 'this cute little girl is you, wait how I mean I could understand that Piyush would have dyed his hair and skin but dude you clearly look like a little girl'.

Suddenly Piyush started laughing 'ooh God I knew you have a talent for cross-dressing Rakesh but you would be able to deceive one of our smartest member it's just ooh my stomach hurts' it was clear that he was trying to control himself but still bro this was too much.

'Hay what's funny about it I also make mistakes sometimes you know, I am also a human' Pragya tried to explain herself. We laughed and started turning the pages around of the album. We came across many cute and embracing pictures and before we know it we all were asleep.

It's morning now. Piyush was the first to wake up 'I am truly sorry Rakesh because the future path you are going to follow is full of pain and misery and I am sorry about that, I am sorry for destroying this kind of faith in you but this is the only way I have come up with after analysing millions of possibilities this is the only plan with 100% success rate.

The faith of the entire multiverse lies in your hand buddy and by beloved Pragya as much as I know I am also going to give you a lot of pain in future so please stay strong even when I am gone sweetheart, Please let me be a hero who is always right in my story because I know that I am going be a hated villain in many's ' Piyush said this much and kissed the forehead of a sleeping beauty Pragya.

'Girls really are cute when they are mute' Piyush thought to himself and left the place. A spectacles cobra snake was hanging at the branch just above both of the dozers, this was the same branch on which Piyush was eating an apple with a chaw. The Cobra wrapped around itself Piyush's neck.

Inside the time chamber. Emily was preparing hot water for her cup noodles when suddenly Piyush asked from behind 'may I have one of those too? 'Why not I don't see any problems sharing my meal with my subordinates' Emily replied and took out another cup of noodles and poured the hot water into both of the cups.

Well you know using a stove in a place like this is weird in its own way but having a personal locker just to keep noodles and chips is kind of creepy if someone saw this they might think you are a weirdo. Yeah, I agree but you know my plant Terramos does have humans but not this kind of tasty packed long-lasting, easy-to-make food they still lack technical advancement to match the taste of these tasty edibles.

'Can't agree more, how's the training cumming along' Piyush asked the questing as soon as he received his food. 'Good enough your foresight never fails to amaze us, that kid does have a talent for martial arts he was able to keep up with me even after I used more than 80% of my power in that kick' Emily replied. By 80% you mean he didn't brake any bones.

No, not at all since he arrived I have made him go through tough training which is necessary for his survival in the upcoming battles if we just had more time then I would have been able to polish this diamond, he has the talent of like a colonel no of a commander Emily replied with a kind excitement and joy in her voice.

Good, then why don't you check his affinity for magic types, I bet he contains an affinity for almost all kinds of magic and his best suit would be light(holy magic) and dark(black magic) magic. 'Are you freaking kidding me affinity of all kinds of magic and his best suit is light and dark magic it's impossible' Emily shouted. 'Yes I know but this is a rare case just like our current leader, she also has an affinity for all the magic right' Piyush tried to calm her down.

'One more thing why don't you give him long rang combat trying I bet that would be more useful, ok where is the dustbin'. It's just beside my safe. Aah, thanks. Piyush threw the paper cup in the dustbin, turned around and started walking forward and passed Emily.

'And one more thing before leaving never touch Rakesh's shoulder from behind it's a taboo' Piyush informed her without looking at her still marching towards the main door. 'I will keep that in mind' Emily replied....
