MIRACULOUS MYSTERY

Chapter 6

Scene: Inside the College Lecture Hall

Ishan sat in the lecture hall, his mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming battle Tikki had warned him about. How could he, an ordinary student, possibly face a dangerous creature? Mayank was sitting next to him, rambling on about something, but Ishan wasn't paying attention.

Suddenly, the building's alarm blared loudly. "Attention! A rock creature is attacking the city!" The announcement echoed through the hall. Panic spread like wildfire, and students started rushing out of the room.

Mayank grabbed Ishan's arm. "Ishan, come on! We have to go!"Ishan, feeling overwhelmed, hesitated. Just then, Tikki peeked out from his bag and whispered urgently in his ear, "Ishan, it's time to transform!"

Ishan looked around frantically, trying to think of an excuse. He let Mayank pull him along, but as they were running with the crowd, Ishan managed to slip away and hide in a secluded corner."Ishan, what are you doing?" Mayank yelled, looking back for him. "We have to RUN!"

But Ishan was already out of sight. Breathing heavily, he pressed his back against the wall. "Tikki, I don't know if I can do this," he whispered, his voice trembling.Tikki floated up to his face, her eyes filled with determination. "Ishan, take a deep breath. You have to fight. You can do this."

Ishan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, they were filled with resolve. "Tikki, spots on!"A bright red light enveloped him, and when it faded, Ishan found himself in a red and black suit. He looked down at himself in awe. "Tikki...? What's happening?"

He glanced around, trying to get his bearings. "How am I supposed to fight if I can't even walk properly in this suit?" he muttered, feeling his new powers surging through him.Leaping out of the window, he nearly crashed into the wall before catching himself. Awkwardly, he made his way towards the creature. Finally, he landed in front of it, shouting, "HEY! MR. ROCK! LISTEN UP! YOU'RE HURTING PEOPLE!"

But instead of stopping, the creature swung its massive fist, sending Ishan flying through the sky. "AHHHHH!" he screamed as he tumbled through the air.---Scene: At the ICT Practice Ground in Bangalore

Meanwhile, in Bangalore, Shubman was practicing for his upcoming match with the rest of the Indian Cricket Team. The sun was shining brightly, but that didn't last long.

"Aye, Shub! Pass the bottle!" Rohit called out."What bottle, Bhaiya?" Shubman asked, looking around in confusion.

"Arey, WO bottle!" Rohit pointed, and Shubman quickly passed it to him. "Here you go, Bhaiya."Suddenly, the sky darkened as thick clouds rolled in, and the ground started shaking. Rain began to pour down heavily, taking everyone by surprise."Ben Stokes! Wasn't it just sunny a second ago?" Virat exclaimed as the team hurried inside to avoid getting drenched.

"BREAKING NEWS! A CREATURE MADE OF ROCK IS ATTACKING MUMBAI!" The news lady's urgent voice blared from the TV in the lobby.The team members gathered around the screen; their faces filled with shock. "What the hell is that thing?" someone muttered.

Shubman's heart raced as he watched the chaos unfold on the screen. "The military is trying to stop it, but their attacks are in vain! God help us!" the news anchor continued.Without a word, Shubman slipped away from the group, his mind racing. "Plagg, how am I supposed to get to Mumbai? I'm stuck here in Bangalore, and it's so far!"

Plagg appeared, grinning mischievously. "Don't worry, kid. With my powers, you'll be there in no time. Just transform! It's time to show what you can do!"Taking a deep breath, Shubman nodded. "Alright, Plagg, claws out!"In a flash of green light, Shubman transformed into Nyx. With incredible speed, he bolted out of the hotel and raced towards Mumbai.---Scene: In the Midst of Chaos in MumbaiWhen Shubman arrived in Mumbai, he was greeted by a scene of utter devastation. Buildings were crumbling, and the streets were filled with panicked people running for their lives. The rock creature was wreaking havoc, and it was clear the situation was dire.

Shubman was about to jump into action when he noticed a figure in a red and black suit flying through the air—right towards him. Before he could react, the figure crashed into him with a loud "THUD!"

"AHH!" the figure shouted as they both tumbled to the ground."Well, that's one way to greet people," Shubman said with a groan, pushing himself up."WHO ARE YOU?!" the other person—screeched, scrambling to their feet.

"I could ask you the same question," Shubman replied, brushing off the dust. He eyed the person cautiously, trying to assess if he was friend or foe. But they didn't seem hostile, just...confused."I'm Scarlet," Ishan finally said, though he still looked unsure of other's intentions."Nice to meet you, I...I'm Nyx," Shubman introduced himself, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.Scarlet ignored Nyx's offered hand. "Do you have a plan?" Nyx asked, hoping for some guidance."No," Scarlet admitted, "it's my first time, and I'm barely managing to do anything right.""We can..." Nyx started, but a loud crash interrupted him. Both heroes looked up to see another building collapsing under the creature's assault."No time for chatting, we have to fight!" Scarlet shouted, leaping towards the creature. Nyx nodded, his nerves making his heart pound as he followed Scarlet into battle.---
