Teddy Bear’s arm

Amulya is tied up by a rope, her legs and hands are tied and she was sitting in an empty closed room, a piece of tape on her face, her pants has an orange juice stain and a teddy bear’s hand in a pocket. Then slowly the door opens. Vikram enters the door with Rohit.

But for you to know why she was tied and captured like that for that you need to know what happened before in three different rooms. Room no.24,Room no. 25, and the office. Let me tell you about room 24.

ROOM 24- THE ROOM WHERE AMULYA STAYS

Amulya comes down from the terrace, she was wet and she couldn’t stop crying. Till that point, Amulya didn’t find a friend and but after losing Kash in front of her like that she couldn’t stop her tears. She went into her room and changed her dress, she was just sitting in a room and she heard someone knocking on her door, she wipes her tears and opens the door.

When she opens the door, she saw Casey. Casey comes into the room and they both sit on the bed. Casey asks Amulya, “Why are so sad? What happened? Did anything happen during the game?” Amulya was trying to hold her emotions back but she couldn’t, a tear was coming from her eye and she was swallowing her saliva. But then Casey’s warm hand felt on amulya’s sholder and she just started crying out very loudly, and then she told Casey about how she saw kash and those robots taking him.

She went on saying how Vikram was trying to protect himself from that robot and was using kash without any feelings, she asked Casey why it was happening.

At this point Casey didn’t want to hide anything, Casey said, “It’s to keep this system under control and to protect Vikram, That’s why we take turns and try to protect him it’s just a small sacrifice to reach and defeat that robot. Without a proper leader no one can win. ”

Amulya replied, “Does anyone know about this? And why are you telling me?” Casey replied, “No…We didn’t tell anyone but it’s not like we are not giving them a chance to defeat that robot we just want to reach a higher level and we need to sacrifice, I’m telling this to you cause you shouldn’t misunderstand, you already saw Vikram using kash so it’s better to tell you why we did that instead of not telling you.”

Amulya then quickly asked her, “What happens if someone is taken by a robot?”

Casey said, “We don’t know what happens to them, we never saw them coming back and we don’t know where the robot takes them, there might be some punishment for them, that’s what we are assuming but--” suddenly a call comes.

Casey lifts it on the other side Vikram says, “I guess its time for us to use her if not even she might go missing like those other two. Quickly come to the office.” Casey ends the call there and quietly leaves the room.

Room no.25 –The room beside Amulya’s

Amulya slowly comes walks and goes into room 25 after Casey leaves knocks on room no 25 and guess who opens the door, It –AE CHA, Ae cha opens it! And that’s how Ae cha and Amulya meet.

Amulya comes and introduces herself to Ae cha and she directly asked Ae cha about the system of these sacrifices at first Ae cha looked surprised but then Ae cha noticed something, Ae cha said to Amulya, “By the system of sacrifices you mean those three using us for their interest?” at that time Amulya told Ae cha about Vikram using Kash and how Kash was used as a shield and she also told about how Casey explained it everything.

Then Amulya was about to leave but then Ae cha remembered something that Ae cha heard and Ae cha stopped Amulya from leaving by holding her. Amulya stopped and at that moment, Ae cha told this, “Hey, wait Ae cha need to tell you and Mark you, I can’t believe it…Those two were telling the Truth about it the whole time.” Amulya asked two questions at that time, First question, “Who are those two you mentioning?Hatsu Katsu” and Second, “Why are you calling yourself Ae cha instead of ‘I, me’ stuff…It's like your talking from a third perspective, no offense but why Hatsu katsu?”

Ae cha Asked Amulya, “Whats the deal with, ‘Hatsu Katsu stuff?’”. Amulya replied it saying, “I don’t know from where I got it. But I’m saying it after all sentences since childhood.Hatsu Katsu”

Ae cha replied, “ Yeah, Ae cha has this weird habit of talking from a third perspective I usually try to avoid it with strangers but you remind me of my dad so Ae cha just felt comfortable and about those two they were with us and they were the first members to notice how The Scorpio was using us so they left and no one ever heard of them but they told us to write a number behind your back and to identify they gave teddy bear and everyone has a piece of it, even you can have a piece of it…Take this.” Then Ae chan pulled a hand of a teddy bear and gave kept it inside Amulya’s pocket. Then she wrote a number on the back. Then Amulya went out of the room.

The Office

Vikram was shouting at Casey and Rohit, Vikram then shouted, “If she knows more she might just cause a panic and she becomes like those two, we were lucky and made a bad impression on those two and at that time people were with us, We need to do something about her…”

Then Rohit told, “Vikram why don’t we just use her as the shield, the match might start today evening again so why not use her as the shield no one other than her needs to protect.” Casey was just standing quietly at that time.

Then slowly and quietly Amulya comes inside the room from the window which is behind Vikram but while coming she makes a huge noise, Rohit quickly notices and Throws orange juice on her and she wasn’t able to see anything, at that moment Rohit knocked her down and tied her.

Suddenly she heard a robotic voice, “The game will start in 300…299…298…” She notices now that voice isn’t coming from outside or anywhere but it's more from the inside of her brain,But she was not sure.

Those three go out of the room, Casey goes with other contestants after 3 to 4 minutes later Vikram and Rohit enter the room. Vikram and Rohit took Amulya with them as a shield, then a robot comes to catch them, too didn’t keep any effort in hiding, they dragged Amulya and were standing just in front of the lift door. Amulya was trying to fight, The timer was going 5...4…3…

Amulya flips and kicks them and they run away from there, Amulya also runs but runs towards the lift, Amulya quickly Tries to hide just next to the lift, the door opens and a robot comes out…That robot went a few steps ahead and now Amulya is behind the robot, She takes a pipe and tries to hit the button behind the Robot it was the first time someone was behind the robot and was about the defeat that robot, people who were hiding popped out and has witnessed something spectacular, for the first time a human was behind the robot and at that moment they felt even they can beat that robot, She hit that robot with the pipe on the head, the pipe has bent but the robot has also fallen…Everyone cheered including rohit and Vikram, but that robot was not that easy to defeat, It just turned around and caught Amulya.

Amulya was lifted by that robot in his one hand.The victory didn’t last long but that victory gave us hope. Amulya was knocked down and captured by that robot. she was dragged slowly into the lift…Everyone at first felt like they were losing something important...Everyone chanted her as Virus who gave hope humans can stand a chance…Everyone including me chanted, “VIRUS…VIRUS…VIRUS!” While she was on that robot’s shoulder, she opened her eyes…Everyone Came out from there hiding places, Few ran towards the lift but that robot was already inside the lift, A guy catches Amulya’s hand and pulls her but it was not that easy, the Lifts doors were closing. Amulya looked towards everyone and smiled. Even though it was not easy that guy still pulls her hand, The lift’s door is slowly closing. Everyone out there respected Amulya; they began to shout, “VIRUS!! VIRUS.” While Amulya had a gentle smile looking at them cheering her.But the door closed and Amulya was taken away by the robot.
