A group of about 50 Viridians was gathered in an open field secured by a thick overgrowth of trees and bushes. They were communicating telepathically. So, the chance of someone hearing their voice and coming over was close to nil.
Sia was the only human present amidst the Veridians. She had bumped into two Veridians deliberately. The Viridians dragged her along since they were getting late for the meeting. They didn’t bother to tie her up as they considered her too weak to escape.
“The enforcements will arrive soon. Then, we will take over the earth!” The leader announced telepathically. The others nodded their head in understanding.
“What do we do about these humans?”
“Just kill them. They are just a bunch of useless creeps.” The leader commanded.
Sia wondered how she was able to listen to their thoughts but she had no time to dwell on it. She had to kill all the Veridians before the reinforcements arrived. This might be the only opportunity she had to save the human race.
Her heart throbbed so loudly that she worried it would give her away. Her hands shook slightly as she pressed the button on her watch.
She was about to sprint when her eyes landed on R’s beautiful green eyes. The ones that enchanted her and made her forget herself. They were laced with confusion.
She felt as if someone had pierced thousands of arrows through her heart. She would never be able to see those beautiful eyes again.
Sia never wanted to betray him but she had to do this; for the sake of her parents, for the sake of her guardian, to save humanity and to preserve the legacy left behind by her parents.
Tears welled in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She stifled a sob wondering how she would live with the guilt of killing the one she loved so deeply. Would she ever be able to move on in life?
Her watched beeped and the screen flashed ’00:30’. There were only 30 seconds for the blast. She had lost precious time in contemplation. She couldn’t resist glancing into his eyes once again.
R was frozen on his spot, his eyebrows furrowed as he struggled to concentrate harder and somehow get through to her. Her hands itched to wipe out those creases from his forehead.
She couldn’t even see him frown then how could endure a life that was devoid of him? Her eyes were fixed on the ‘abort operation’ button. She had to make the decision quickly else the Viridians would find out.
Zuben stirred from his sleep when he heard his mother’s sweet voice, “ Wake up honey, It is such a beautiful day. It’s time to get up.” “ Momma…..” His baby voice trailed off as he got up and rubbed his small eyes. He looked so adorable in that sleepy avatar. You couldn’t resist the urge to hug him.He got off the bed and dang….dang…dang… ran towards his mother with baby steps, the corner of his blanket still in his hand. It was made of thermal microns that kept the enclosure at a cons
Miss Sarah Zen had been working in her cabin, which was also her bedroom. The walls in her bedroom were completely covered in screens. The one facing the bed displayed the details of all the companies that she owned, which is a lot considering that they owned close to fifty. She could inspect the work-stations, give commands, take decisions, and authorize others to do the work for her using that single screen.She would get so tired seeing through so much footage that she rarely checked the footage of her house which was displayed on the screen behind th
Sarah Zen was jubilant today. It was maybe the fourth or fifth time that her husband, Arnold was sitting right in front of her. Moreover, he seemed in a wonderful mood which was so unlike his character.“ I am so proud of you Sarah! You acquired the ‘Network Jamming Chip’ for me. You are the best.”Sarah’s brows furrowed in confusion. How could she have helped him to acquire something when she didn’t even know what it was?
“How did a pin covered in plumbic cyanide reach my son’s hand? I want to know the answer as soon as possible!” Arnold roared at the group of detectives who had gathered for the video conference.He felt irritation and fury bubble within him as he looked at the faces of the useless detectives and security personnel. He wondered why he spent so much money on them if they couldn’t even guard his son! He picked up the transmuter on the table and threw it at the screen releasing some of his pent up fury. He felt that he would explode i
Arnold made Sarah sit comfortably on the bed and then taking her hand in his, he said, “ Sarah, Please talk to me. I know I am wrong. I was the one who was never there for you. What I did was wrong. I should never have accused you. I was never angry with you. I am angry with myself, with my incapacity to save my…our son.” When Sarah still didn’t respond Arnold felt disheartened and hopeless. He squeezed her hands and said in a pitiful voice, “Please…..”Sarah’s resolve broke when she saw her mighty husban
Sarah’s arms ached and she stretched herself to relieve some pain. Her hands landed on something soft and warm. This jolted her awake. She had slept alone most of her life. So, she sat up quickly to investigate the source. There lying in all glory was Arnold himself. Her cheeks reddened as she recalled their passion-filled lovemaking. A loud gasp escaped her mouth as the realization of what they had done, sank in. “Gosh!! What will we do now?” Sarah exclaimed loudly.
Sarah moved up and down the room like a caged tiger. Then she sat down but she kept shaking her legs and wringing her hands. Then she got up and started pacing again. She felt the knot in her stomach tighten as she waited for the clock to strike 10:00.The moment the clock struck ten she tapped the call button on her screen. “What was the verdict?” Sarah asked before Arnold could even say hello.
Arnold paced around his office deep in thought. He felt his blood boil at the thought of what Mr. Rendall did. “The nerve of him to mess with me! Did he think that making me dance to his tune is a child’s play? Just wait and watch as I turn tables on him.” Arnold muttered resolutely and tapped on the screen.He called an emergency video conference of all the detectives and security personnel under him via his private satellite that was designed for emergencies such as this. Within moments all were online.
Ron managed to convince the Council that the best place to set up a secret inventory and development wing was the Sentinel island. Sia handed over the Zen Enterprises to Jay and moved back to the island with Ron. They lived together with Wrick and Myra. During the day they would work like the normal residents but at night they visited the underground tunnel created by the Viridian which was now their research station. Viperous cliff remained Sia’s favorite spot from where she watched the sunsets with Ron.
“Do we really need to do this, Sia…” Ron said in a disgruntled tone. “Umm…hmmm… we owe this to our friends. Don’t forget they played an important role in bringing us together.” Sia lectured adjusting Ron’s tie. “Okay… fine… let us get over with this stupid reception. But, after that, I am going to keep you trapped in my arms forever. Sia blushed at the implied meaning. She turned to look into the mirror to avoid his gaze. Today she was
When Ron’s eyes fluttered open he was delighted to see Sia sitting beside him. She was staring at the space in front of her, lost in thoughts. A smile crept his lips as he recalled the time she was pointing the gun at him. She looked hot as hell and he had a hard time focusing. He was glad that she hadn’t arrived before he trapped the Viridian, else he would have found it difficult to capture him.Sensing Ron’s glare on her, Sia turned to him. She felt a jolt of electricity flow between them wh
Sia, Mr. Ben, and Jay were seated in the display room of the healthcare center. Their faces lit up when they saw Dr. Burming walking towards him. The gloating expression on his face indicated that he had been successful. “Mr. Ben, Sia, Jay…” He greeted them before taking a seat facing the three of them. Then he sat there staring into the space in front of him. When he didn’t speak anything for a long time, Mr. Ben prompted, “Did you figure out who the real Ron is doctor?” &l
“Don’t listen to him, Sia. The man that is standing in front of you is the Viridian. Think about this carefully. Would I have appreciated that you came to this lonely place alone?”Sia felt stunned by his statement. He had a point too. When Brown-eyes started walking towards Sia, she whipped out the laser gun from her pocket. “Don’t move or I will turn you to nothing in a moment,” Sia warned pointing the gun at him. Brown eyes raised his hands and said, “I don’t kn
Sia and Jay emerged in a large and deserted street. The sides of the street were piled with debris similar to what she had seen near the warehouse. It looked long abandoned; debris and ruins of old structures stretched on either sides as far as the eyes could see.Sia tapped on the PCID to track Ron's GPS. The red signal indicated that they were close to Ron’s CID. Sia walked in the direction of the signal cautiously. Jay followed behind keeping a watch on the surroundings.After searching for some time she found a CID on the ground. She looked around before picking it up warily.
Zen Digiola was decorated with ornate flowers. The Probots were busy moving around and touching up the decorations. After a lot of debate Ron and Sia had agreed to keep a grand wedding, just like it was shown in movies. The debate wasn’t whether they should have a physical wedding or a digital one. The controversy was regarding the setting of the wedding. Sia wanted to take her vows in an artificial garden setting while Ron wanted a castle setting. In the end, Ron decided to give in. He wanted to make the
Sia ran and grabbed Ron by the hand, forcing him to face her. She cupped his face in her hand and said, “These are tears of joy, Ron. I… have never felt so happy before…”“You are just trying to console me, aren’t you?” He asked, eyeing her suspiciously. “No, Ron… what you tried to do was outstanding… My heart is so full of joy that there is no place to hold it, so they are flowing down my cheeks as tears…” Sia said, giving him one of her dazzling smiles.
Two days later…Sia squealed in protest as Ron grabbed her from behind. The next moment darkness greeted her as something was placed on her eyes. “I have a surprise for you…” Ron whispered into her ears as he blindfolded her. “But… why are you covering my eyes? How will I see?” Sia whined.“Don’t worry… I will take off your blin
