Rudra - The Spark of Justice

Chapter 13

The twenty-five men murmured to one guy in the middle, a well-built man and then one among them came ahead from the team. He walked towards the tall muscular masked young man. Gaining speed exponentially in movement, he made a small jump and bought his knife to the left side of Rudra's neck. Shiva stepped to his right and blocked him by the wrist, knocking off the knife down and landed an elbow punch on the guy's throat. The man fell down instantly and after some choking, went unconscious.

The crowd looked in awe at the young man standing unarmed against a group that only didn't have much guns as they were unprepared for this action by the lawyer. The next man came running and was down easily when Shiva dodged his attack and landed a chop on his neck. This followed with a wave having three men coming at the same time. The men rounded up Shiva, who instantly landed a light kick on the leg of one to his right, who fell forward in imbalance and used him as the holder for a long sword that the man in left had and kicked him off with a kick on his abdomen. Then, taking the long sword that was buried, he threw it on the guy at middle, who stood petrified on what he saw. He fell down with the sword in his abdomen.

Shiva took the sword back again and held it for a moment as the next wave was much faster and bigger comprising of five men. He threw the lens ball up and then the sword at the one towards the corner and bended down to avoid attacks from the other four men on his upper body. Taking out the short daggers he had in his boots, Rudra made a rapid zig zag stab in the same position at the four on their legs, making them kneel down in pain. The ball hit them from behind so fast that they in turn hit their heads to each other at a great force and collapsed down.

The crowd let out a huge roar for their Rudra, who put down ten men single handedly in a couple of minutes. Now, the guy at center signaled ten men to go at the same time, which also included him. A small boy from the crowd yelled, "That's cheating!" and his mother closed his mouth as the man at center stared at them. Shiva was catching his breath with his head lowered. He knew that he had to finish this fast.
The ten men came on rushing like mad bulls, without a pattern. The tall well-built man, though a bit shorter than Rudra and supposed to be their leader, was running a bit low on pace than the rest. He took his gun out and shot Rudra and the ball took the bullet inside, as it recoiled due to the speed. The man was astonished and shot back continuously and most of the bullets were stopped in this way. The ball shredded away some crystal fragments but got them back as Rudra held them together again. The guy then threw away the gun in anger. Rudra stood ground and took a long breath, then rolled the short daggers in his hands. He then lifted his hands up and controlled the ball by waving his hands. It disintegrated into ten shards and all the pieces moved towards the men as Rudra waved his hands down. The shards hit the men in their thighs or the lower part of the body to be exact. The men stood still in pain.

The leader commanded, "proceed" and then limped towards their target. Rudra pulled the shards out and then shot them again on the other thighs. The men slowed more. As the first man neared him from left, he stepped forward and stamped his foot. The man stopped without motion and four men thrashed upon him. Shiva stabbed the one to his right rapidly and dug the other hand with dagger into the one on his left's abdomen and exerting pressure from his bended position, scooped up the five altogether with the ball for company, thrusting himself out. While he was regaining his balance, the other four bought their swords and knives on the open area that Shiva left above his head. Two of them slashed Shiva on his right and left arms that covered up his head at the last minute. He immediately gave a hard kick to the ones behind him on the knee with his thick boots, breaking the joints. They crumbled down.

"Om Namah Shivayah" he said to himself.

Holding the hands of two on either side, he went up in midair and kicked the one in front of him at the abdomen. He was the leader of the pack. The really hard kick that came as Rudra lost his control, made the huge man move a couple of feet in air before he trashed down. His mouth spilled out blood as he choked. Shiva then twisted the wrists of men he had in his hands, making them cry in pain and fall down, and landed his legs on the side of their necks, breaking them up. The crowd gave a much bigger roar as Rudra stood up with some effort and held a pole nearby for support, breathing some fresh air rapidly, looking at the remaining men intensely. The ball was suspended beside him. A car rushed into the spot in a high speed towards Rudra. Immediately, he pulled down the glass windows of the apartments in his view towards him. To add fore spice to his action, he pulled out the glass from the windshield of the car approaching, exposing the four men vulnerable. The glass pieces formed large shards pointing at the men inside the car. If they proceeded above a distance, they would suffer a fatal blow. The driver applied the brakes immediately and the wheels halted with quite a skid. Four men got down from the car and pulled some of their injured men and leader forcibly into the car's back seat.

"Let go of me you cowards! Let me kill him!" he yelled, blood still splattering from his mouth as the crowd laughed at the remaining men who were retreating.

Rudra took his mobile phone and pressed the SOS button and turned back to see the Minister, "be safe sir, you are their prime target".
"Get the wounded men to hospitals and place guards for them, file a FIR on them and arrest Rudra now" yelled the commissioner and the crowd shouted back in disagreement, "is he mad" in a murmur. "You did a good thing, but you have hurt them... am arresting you for that"
"Only if you get me" said Rudra, as he hopped on to his unmanned bike that got there on its own way. There was no number plate on it. The bike accelerated away as Rudra sat on the back seat in reverse position and waved the cops with the ball who came near him a good bye. The crowd gave out a loud laughter while the minister gave a smile.

Jeeva got reminded of the time when Shiva said that he was going to make an unmanned bike that synced with GPS and came to the user's place on command. His face filled with a smile of amusement as he too slid away from the scene without notice.
