Hawa tez chal rahi thi।
Bridge ke upar andhera aur gehra ho chuka tha।
Anmol aur Player 07 ek dusre ke saamne khade the।
System ka message abhi bhi hawa me jaise goonj raha tha—
"Fight or Die"
Anmol ne apni mutthi kas li।
"Ye mazaak nahi hai…"
Uski saanse tez ho rahi thi।
Dusri taraf Player 07 bilkul calm tha।
Jaise ye sab uske liye normal ho।
"Ready ho?" usne halki si smile ke saath poocha।
Anmol ne jawab nahi diya।
Lekin uski aankhon me ab darr kam aur determination zyada tha।
"Main haar nahi manunga…"
Agle hi pal—
Player 07 ne tezi se attack kiya।
Woh itni speed se aaya ki Anmol react hi nahi kar paya।
Dhadd!
Ek zor ka punch seedha Anmol ke kandhe par laga।
Anmol peeche ki taraf girte girte bacha।
"Ahh…"
Usne dard se daant bhich liye।
"Ye itna fast kaise hai…?"
Player 07 ruk kar muskuraaya।
"Bas itna hi?"
Anmol ko gussa aa gaya।
"Ab meri baari…"
Woh aage badha aur punch maara—
Lekin Player 07 ne easily uska haath pakad liya।
"Too slow…"
Usne Anmol ko zor se dhakka diya।
Anmol seedha zameen par gir gaya।
Uska saans rukne laga।
"Main… isse nahi jeet paunga…"
Ek second ke liye uske dimaag me haar ka khayal aaya।
Lekin tabhi—
System ki awaaz goonji—
"Emergency Support Activated"
Anmol ke saamne ek chhoti si blue screen flash hui।
"Skill Available: Strength Boost (Temporary)"
"Activate?"
Anmol ne bina soche chillaya—
"Activate!"
Agle hi pal uske sharir me ek tez energy daud gayi।
Uski muscles tight ho gayi।
Uska dard kam hone laga।
"Ye… kya feeling hai…"
Woh dheere se khada hua।
Is baar uski aankhon me confidence tha।
Player 07 ne bhi notice kiya।
"Hmm… interesting…"
"System ne tumhe support diya…"
Anmol ne seedha uski taraf dekha।
"Ab dekh…"
Woh tezi se aage badha।
Is baar uski speed pehle se zyada thi।
Dhadd!
Uska punch Player 07 ke haath se takraaya।
Is baar Player 07 peeche hat gaya।
Uske chehre par halki si surprise thi।
"Not bad…"
Anmol ne rukna nahi chaha।
Woh lagataar attack karne laga।
Punch… kick…
Har move me uski power badh chuki thi।
Player 07 ab sirf defend kar raha tha।
"Lagta hai tum seekh rahe ho…"
Lekin achanak—
Player 07 ki aankhon me ek alag si chamak aayi।
"Ab meri asli speed dekh…"
Agle hi pal woh gayab ho gaya।
Anmol shock me reh gaya।
"Kahan gaya…?"
Tabhi—
Dhadd!
Ek zor ka attack uske peeche se laga।
Anmol seedha aage gir gaya।
"Ahhh!"
Uske muh se cheekh nikal gayi।
"Ye… itna fast…?"
Woh uthne ki koshish kar raha tha।
Lekin Player 07 uske saamne aa chuka tha।
"Game over…"
Usne haath uthaya।
Anmol ki saanse tez ho gayi।
"Main… yahan khatam ho jaunga…?"
Tabhi system ki awaaz phir se aayi—
"Hidden Condition Met"
Anmol shock me aa gaya.
"Hidden…?"
Screen flash hui—
"New Skill Unlocked: Reflex Mode"
Time jaise slow ho gaya।
Player 07 ka attack dheere dheere Anmol ki taraf aa raha tha.
Anmol ne pehli baar clearly us attack ko dekha।
"Main… ise dodge kar sakta hu…"
Usne apna sharir side me move kiya—
Attack miss ho gaya।
Player 07 shock me reh gaya।
"Impossible…"
Anmol turant khada hua।
Is baar uske movements smooth the।
Fast… accurate…
"Ab meri baari…"
Usne ek perfect punch maara—
Dhadd!
Player 07 peeche ki taraf hil gaya।
Uske chehre par pehli baar serious expression tha।
"Tum… itni jaldi improve kaise ho rahe ho…"
Anmol ne dheere se kaha—
"Kyuki main haar nahi maan sakta…"
Dono phir se fighting stance me aa gaye।
Hawa aur tez ho gayi।
Bridge hil sa raha tha।
Aur fight abhi khatam nahi hui thi…
Tabhi system ka final message flash hua—
" FINAL PHASE STARTED"
Anmol ka dil phir se tez dhadakne laga।
"Ab kya hone wala hai…?"
