Renaming The past
“Everyone of you heard stories of heroes and heroines going handicap with thousands of soldiers alone and in the end all of it turns out to be a good ending . But my journey is not that gives the readers the freedom to enjoy the fantasy world.The title of the story might convince you to believe that this story is based on a hero, but i assure you - it isn't”
My story might seem to be based on heroism, but let me assure you : not all heroes win, not all heroes have a innocent past, everyone has something to loose. This is an inevitable fact which not everyone helps to realize, but i did : i lived through it.
My life was probably shitty before the word gangs and mafia’s started becoming popular as fuck.I was born in a good family with a normal father and mother(mostly).I was living a normal life as any 10 yr old would’ve lead.Both of my parents worked for a foreign enterprise thus they had to travel abroad often.Recently, they were going to Dubai to seal of a partnership with a company there for their so called profit.After that i never heard from them.My uncle(whom i was kept with) out of nowhere started a sudden urge to train me in combat and other army tactics(as he is in the army for a stupid amount of time).I didn’t said anything about it cause i practically enjoyed training with him(don’t ask me why).
After 4 years of becoming the warrior or trained personnel as my uncle had intended to make me, he called me in his study room to confess.After entering the room , he said-
“sit down.Do you have any idea where your parents might be?”
“Dubai?“-I spoke with a nervous tone.
“Well,no.Dead.They are Dead.”
“What do you mean they’re dead!!?“-After hearing the word ‘Dead’ everything was becoming delusional around me.Seemed like the world became worthless,without having a purpose(Well it is the feeling that a kid can get after he becomes an orphan, all those moments spent, good or bad it doesn’t matter, just the years of spending with the people who were the reason of your existence.Gone, just POOF!)
“They died during the car crash in between the massacre of the police and the so called gang named ‘Serpents’,I have left a recording of the news from then in this usb”-Said as he handed me a pen drive and pointed towards the laptop.
I inserted the pen drive in the laptop and watched the entire video made on that single day where 50 people died and many were injured in the Central City.Being shocked,filled with fear and anger,i tried my best not to let a single tear drop out from my eyes,but failed miserably.
“That is why i wanted to train you so that you handle this situation on your own”-He said as he patted my shoulder slightly,then left the room.
With the room empty,the only thought that crossed my mind was how,when and why.These 3 words kept circling in my head,until i found the solution i needed the most.
I got my instincts fixed,got my head on track and the first thing that came in my mind was to hack the underground network,which contained all the information’s of the gangs etc.
On top of the leaderboards, Came the name ‘Serpents’ which were responsible for the very incident that i regret.People say that one becomes matured when they have sex or came to realize their responsibilities,but for me,That very day made me so called matured.
The leader of the ‘Serpents’ went with the codename Cobra.He looked like an average 40 yr old guy except the tattoos.The site had everything except for their hideout,real names and numbers.Well i expected that i wouldn’t get those in the first place.So, i started a little hunt with a hoodie, a tracker and a pair of jordan’s.After a week of my hunting, i came across a mysterious figure,selling drugs on the alleys which is suspicious as fuck.After following him,i reached into an abandoned warehouse.I slipped my phone across the slightly opened window for eavesdropping.
“One more trade,and the goal would be complete i presume”
“Yeah,Can’t upset the Cobra this time.”
“You bet.”
After hearing the word Cobra I knocked on the door thrice.
Knock Knock knock.
“Check who is it”-while reloading which would be a 9mm i presume.
The opens with a unusual sound and then, empty.There’s no one beneath that door.
“What was that?”
“Must be the wind.”
“The wind doesn’t knock thrice,dumbass.”
Until the guy peeks in for a better view outside,pulls down the thug and bashes his head by the elbow which surprisingly takes him out.
“Don’t shoot,We can’t let here be any commotion.”
“Take the metal bars and bat!”
Came charging with melee weapons they thought they could take me out. How foolish they were.
Swoosh!, ducked the first one,pulled the leg of the second and just throw’d it at the third.Then blocked the first,kicked right up the tree, which took down one of the three.
“Tired already? I was just getting started.”
The second one comes in at full speed, dodged,break fall and kicked in the head(kids, do not try this with your friends or even family).Being terrified, the last one asked-
“What the hell do you want?”
“I just want the whereabouts of your boss.Care to help?”
Here occurs the most familiar scene where the hero beats most of the goons and the last of the left tries to run
“Where the hell are you going,I just asked you a question”-pulling the collar of the last one left.
*Bashes head with a metal bar* ”Come on,I just wanted to know the hideout.Ok,I’ll just search for it.”
Bing!
“What was that?” I noticed the phone who i just hit just pinged.
“A message i see.Lets see what i can find here.”
New Heist at 1500 hrs.Report at the HQ.
“I had no idea they called their hideout as HQ.lol,then lets check out this ‘HQ’.”
**1434 hrs, Bad Guys HQ**
“Blade? Check.Ammunation? Check.Hidden blades? Check. Guess Everything’s in position.Then lets hunt this Cobra.”
Mysterious corridor
“HOW’S THE PREP BOY’S!!?“-shouts a guy who’s probably the cobra or a section leader
“All Done and ready to be deployed”
Well there were approximately 12 thugs there including their leader.I already had set a timer at the fuse which should do the trick and set darkness.
BOOM!
That’s my ticket.
Bang!Bang!Bang! 3 down.*slashed 2 more* Bang!. 6 down,6 left.
“Take Cover and Someone take care of the lights”
“Yes Boss!”
“Are we gonna play Hide and seek now? Ok,if that’s what you want”
**1500 hrs.Target eliminated**
“Well what the hell am i going to do now?“- I thought to myself.
“Ah shit,I forgot about the match,Uncle will be pissed as fuck.Gotta go”
Next in chapter 2..the story continues ahead of time.
