Paani ka flow control se bahar ja chuka tha…
Jaise poora battlefield ab kisi aur ke control me ho।
Aur woh "koi aur"…
Hunter tha।
Uske aas paas ki energy ab normal nahi thi।
Woh compressed bhi thi… aur phail bhi rahi thi।
Jaise har direction me uska pressure feel ho raha ho।
Anmol ne apni position steady ki।
Uski aankhen Hunter par locked thi।
"Ye… pehle se alag hai…"
Hunter ne dheere se apni gardan ghumaayi।
Uski aankhon ka rang ab aur gehra ho chuka tha।
"Ab tumhe asli difference samajh aayega…"
Ek second ke liye sab kuch shaant ho gaya।
Phir—
WHOOSH!!!
Hunter gayab।
Anmol react karne hi wala tha—
Tabhi—
DHADDD!!!
Ek invisible strike uske side par lagi।
"Ahhh!"
Woh control lose karke ghoom gaya।
"Dikh bhi nahi raha…?"
Usne turant apni senses sharp ki।
"Feel kar… dekh nahi…"
Ek halka sa disturbance…
Right side…
Anmol ne bina dekhe punch maara—
DHAD!!!
Contact hua।
Hunter ek second ke liye visible hua—
Uski aankhon me halka sa surprise।
"Impressive…"
Lekin usne turant counter kiya।
DHADDD!!!
Anmol seedha neeche crash hua।
Ground hil gaya।
Uski saans ruk gayi।
"Ye speed… handle nahi ho rahi…"
Hunter upar hawa me ruk gaya।
"Tum adapt kar lete ho…"
"Lekin main har second me stronger ho raha hoon…"
Usne apne dono haath aage badhaye—
Paani uske aas paas ghoomne laga।
Ek massive vortex banne laga।
"End this…"
Vortex seedha Anmol ki taraf aaya।
ROOOOOAR!!!
Anmol ne dekha—
Aur samajh gaya—
"Dodge nahi hoga…"
Usne apni bachi hui energy gather ki।
"Ya to yahin… ya kabhi nahi…"
Woh seedha vortex ki taraf bhaaga।
"WHAT?!"
Hunter ek second ke liye shock hua।
Anmol vortex ke andar ghus gaya—
Pressure insane tha।
Uska sharir toot raha tha।
Saans ruk rahi thi।
"Control… control…"
Usne flow ke against nahi—
Flow ke saath move kiya।
Slowly…
Woh center tak pahuch gaya।
Aur phir—
Usne apni poori taqat ek jagah concentrate ki।
"Aqua Break!!!"
BOOOOOOM!!!
Vortex andar se phat gaya।
Shockwave ne sab kuch hila diya।
Hunter peeche hata।
Pehli baar—
Uske expression me seriousness aayi।
Anmol heavy saans le raha tha।
Uska sharir almost give up kar chuka tha।
"Bas… ek aur…"
Hunter dheere se neeche aaya।
"Tumne mujhe push kiya hai…"
Uski awaaz ab thandi nahi thi—
Ab usme intensity thi।
"Ab main bhi rukunga nahi…"
System flash—
Critical State Detected"
"Body Limit Near Collapse"
Anmol muskura diya।
"Perfect…"
Aur woh phir se aage badha।
FINAL EXCHANGE
Dono ek dusre ki taraf full speed se aaye—
DHAD! DHAD! DHAD!
Har hit pe shockwave।
Har move pe risk।
Anmol ek hit khata—
Do return karta।
Hunter defend karta—
Phir brutal counter deta।
Fight ab control ke bahar thi—
Sirf willpower chal rahi thi।
Ek moment—
Anmol ne opening dekhi।
Woh seedha aage badha—
DHADDD!!!
Uska punch Hunter ke chest par laga।
Hunter peeche gaya—
Anmol rukha nahi—
Dusra attack—
Teesra—
Aur phir—
FULL POWER STRIKE!!!
BOOOOOOM!!!
Hunter door jaakar crash hua।
Silence…
Paani dheere dheere shaant hone laga।
Anmol wahi khada tha…
Saans toot rahi thi…
Sharir hil raha tha…
"Ho gaya…"
Woh dheere se bola।
Lekin—
Andhere me—
Ek halki si awaaz aayi।
"Khatam…?"
Anmol ka dil ruk gaya।
Dhool ke beech se—
Hunter khada ho gaya।
Bilkul seedha।
Bilkul stable।
Jaise kuch hua hi nahi।
Usne apni gardan thodi si tilt ki—
Aur halka sa hasa।
"Abhi to start hai…"
System flash—
"??? State Activated"
Anmol ki aankhen fail gayi।
"Ye… kya hai…?"
Hunter ke aas paas ki energy ab black nahi thi—
Pure dark void jaisi ho gayi thi।
Paani uske paas jaate hi gayab ho raha tha।
Jaise woh space hi tod raha ho।
Anmol ek step peeche hata।
Iss baar—
Sach me darr wapas aa gaya।
