Pitchblack sky was well lit that night. Stars shone as sugar spilt over black marble, glistening in the heights.The moon in her dappled beauty spun, ever in perfect synchrony with her heavenly companion as it was the long night of lunar mating.
Surprisingly a third moon appeared anew in the sky upon that clear and starry night, in that instant elevating the souls of all to some higher plane.
Millions who were eagerly observing various phases of 'rahu' and 'ketu' were stunned with that new entry and all telescopes focussed suddenly in to the new arrival.
The globe of light progressively increased in its size over minutes and exposed itself to be 'Rover'. The entire population got shocked how that rover could get in to the citadel surviving all the protective shields.
"There is an unidentified breach in the citadel guys. Please be alert and take shield inside the observatory until our yodhas(guards) cordon the incoming."
Maj Gen Stephen , the deputy to Maverick announced over the hall where millions had assembled to witness the lunar mating. He was standing next to the corpse of his senior, unable to get a reason to explain his murder.
"Stephen, be proud you joined the cause. Apocalypse is at our doorstep and this is the only way we can survive. Sacrificing the creators of this civilization, to survive the cliff." Guruji holding the laser at Stephen's forehead shouted inside the conference hall.
"No Guruji , you're mistaking the whole scenario. Montenero is not a reliable ally, I sware. Through out the last millenia they have been attempting to conquer the universe. This have been the only land they could never invade.Now your idiotic move have opened gates to them, rovers are gonna fly in one after another and loot our people." Stephen tried to convince the mad professor who was following the instructions of his invisible master.
"Stephen, you have two roads to choose. Join hands to boldly face and survive the apocalypse or die here with your master, leaving behind the mankind. Tell me what your instincts instruct?"
"I thought you were a sensible guy, like your dad. But you have prooved yourselves to be nonworthy for that legacy. I know you wouldn't kill me until you get direct control over the chamber. Since Maverick is no more , you have no other option left dear.
You play your tricks to little children at your medical college. Yodhas will sabotage the whole plan to over rule hariyupa and you will definitely go behind bars."Stephen sounded bold in his words, as he was the only hope left to save hariyupa.
"Rovers in mohenjodaro. We are under siege, please provide back up comrade." Gen Livingston screamed high in his digic and then Guruji was awestruck all in a sudden.
More of the digics in the citadel committee screamed, creating panic among the people.
The entire 'Meluha' is under seige as if it was a planned by some higher power.
"Guruji,I wish you're the last among morons, I have to come across in my life.You felt everything is in fist and they sabotaged the whole planet in a matter of hours.
They had their pawns everywhere.." Stephen screamed in agony.
"Fuck this plan." Guruji smashed his clenched fist against the glass wall and it crashed in to million pieces.
"Yodhas, no cordon please. Blast the rover and restart the laser defences." Guruji spoke over the digic he had nabbed from the deputy.
"Voice code unauthorized."
"Voice code unauthorized"
Invalidation came over from all the humanoids who had cordoned the rover. Now Guruji pointed the laser tip and ordered Stephen to pass the command in his own voice which he faithfully did. A hefty explosion just followed and the following stream of rovers drifted to get rid of laser defences.
The calm starry night turned so obstreperous like in the festival of diwali as many of the rovers blasted in mid air. The people down on the ground panicked and went behind the shield inside observatory
