Victory???

Chapter – The Arrival of Project Zero
A Night of Victory... or So They Thought
The battlefield was still covered in dust and debris.
The bodies of Rehan Roy and Yashveer Sinha, the Twin Monarchs, lay motionless on the ground.
Mri stood over them, breathing heavily, his aura flickering weakly.
Kai and Ishu were barely able to stay on their feet.
Their victory had come at a cost.
But just when they thought it was over—
A cold wind swept through the ruins.
A chilling presence descended upon them.
And then—
THUD.
A heavy bootstep echoed in the silence.
A figure stepped into the moonlight.
A man dressed entirely in black, wearing a high-collared coat that fluttered slightly in the night breeze.
His face was covered by a featureless white mask.
No emotions.
No humanity.
Just death.
Project Zero had arrived.

The Fight Begins – A Hopeless Battle
Kelly, Dipankar, Adonish, and Konica felt the pressure first.
A monstrous killing intent filled the air, making their bodies freeze for a moment.
Then—
"Who the hell are you?!" Dipankar shouted, stepping forward.
Zero didn't answer.
Instead—
He moved.
FASTER THAN ANYONE COULD SEE.
BOOM!
Zero appeared in front of Dipankar—and punched him in the stomach.
Dipankar's eyes widened in shock.
A second later—
His body flew backwards, crashing into a wall.
CRACK!
He collapsed, unconscious.
"DIPANKAR!" Konica screamed.
She rushed in, her fists glowing with energy.
She threw a punch—
WHOOSH!
But Zero wasn't there.
He had already moved.
Before she could react—
BAM!
A brutal kick to her ribs sent her spinning through the air.
She crashed down, coughing blood.

Adonish vs. Zero
Adonish, the strongest among them, didn't hesitate.
He moved at full speed, aiming for Zero's blind spot.
His fist cut through the air like lightning.
But—
SNAP!
Zero caught his wrist.
With no effort at all.
Adonish's eyes widened. "W-What?!"
Zero tilted his head slightly—then twisted Adonish's wrist at an unnatural angle.
CRACK!
A bone-breaking sound echoed.
"ARGH!" Adonish screamed in pain.
Then—
BAM!
Zero smashed his elbow into Adonish's face.
Blood splattered.
Adonish collapsed, unconscious.

Kelly's Last Stand
Kelly stood there, fists clenched, body trembling.
He had seen everyone get obliterated in seconds.
But he refused to run.
He let out a sharp breath.
"I don't care who you are," he muttered. "You're not leaving here without a fight."
Zero finally reacted.
He tilted his head slightly, as if… acknowledging her words.
Then—
He moved again.
Kelly barely saw him.
His instinct screamed—
DUCK!
He barely avoided a devastating punch aimed at his head.
He countered instantly—
A roundhouse kick aimed at Zero's ribs.
BAM!
It connected!
But—
Zero didn't even flinch.
Instead—
BOOM!
He grabbed his leg—
And slammed him into the ground.
CRASH!
The ground cracked beneath him.
Kelly coughed blood, his vision blurring.
He struggled to stand—
But his body refused to move.
It was over.
Zero had won.

Inside the Ruins – The True Target
Zero ignored their fallen bodies.
He stepped inside the wrecked building.
His target was still there.
Mri.
Exhausted.
Unable to fight.
Kai and Ishu stood in his way, despite their injuries.
"You… won't… take him!" Ishu growled.
Kai spat blood. "I don't care how strong you are. You're not touching him."
Zero didn't hesitate.
WHOOSH!
BAM!
A single punch.
Both Ishu and Kai collapsed.
Unconscious.
Zero then turned to Mri.
Mri was too weak to even stand.
He tried to move—
But his body refused.
Zero grabbed him by the collar—
And lifted him effortlessly.
Mri's vision blurred.
He could hear distant voices…
Ishu… Kai… but they sounded so far away.
Then—
Darkness.
Zero walked away, carrying Mri.
Without a word.
Without emotion.
Leaving only destruction behind.

But One Person Was Missing...
As Zero disappeared into the night—
Aamon's body was gone.
Someone had taken him.
But who?
And why?
