CHAOS ERUPTED ALL AROUND HIM.
The Elites and their families were shouting something at Ram, some even threw strange things at him and each of them were boosted by their powers as they sailed towards him and hit him.
Or the sphere that surrounded him.
After colliding with the sphere that surrounded Ram, each of them disappeared into several portals that were opened suddenly, similar to the one that Elder of Space had used earlier to meet Ram earlier.
Had the things that they towards him found their mark, Ram would've died several times by now.
What's strange was that the guards were calm, as if they were used to this.
Or were already know this would happen.
There was only one answer for this. They were either Veera's men or were hypnotized by him.
Sandhya and Chandra stared at Ram as if they were seeing him for the first time, as if they hadn't known that he killed Elder of Time by accident.
Sandhya had the back of her hand over her mouth, tears trailing on her cheek while shaking her head, mumbling something again and again.
Chandra had his arm around her shoulders and for some reason Ram didn't feel any jealousy.
Even after everything that was going on, they were still together.
It's as if they were destined to be together and there was no way that Ram was going to get Sandhya's heart.
As if he was not destined to be with her.
It crushed his heart, sure. But it was due to sadness.
Sad because his Aunt's El's encouragement had raised his hopes so high that when he looked at them, with Chandra's arms around Sandhya's shoulders crushed his hopes.
He felt as if someone were calling form afar.
It let him come out of daze and stare at Veera, who was grinning at him. He had a confident look on his face, as if he were watching a match that had already played, a match that he won.
Ram glared at him and when he felt someone calling for him again, he tore his gaze away from him.
Ram next saw Aunt El shaking all over with sadness and Elder of Air shaking with raze.
Proxy Elder had her arms around both of them as if trying to console them, but it was not working.
Ram saw Elder of spaces hands clenched in fists and he stepped out of a portal.
He was of the same age as Elder of Water. His gaze filled with a knowing smile, as if he were taunting Ram.
He was definitely working for Veera.
He was about to observe other elders when Ram felt the same far away voice calling for him again.
Was it the twins? Were they trying to call for him?
Ram didn't want to bring his hopes up, but he couldn't help himself.
He was searching all around him, hoping of the crazy disheveled hairs of the twins.
But he was not able to find them.
He was disappointed.
"Who are you looking for? Your accomplice who was going to save you?" asked Elder of Space.
Ram frowned at him. Elder of Space had already done necessary damage, showing Ram killing the Elder of Time to the crowd.They were enraged as hell and the way things looked, Ram was doomed for sure. What more could he it make it even worse? Ram just shook his head.
Elder of Space looked disappointed. "Whatever your plans are, keep in mind that we have already prepared for them. They are not going to work. We have seen you killing the Elder of Time, taking his powers to yourself. Not only that, we have also seen you take the powers of Elder of Water. Veera and the guards arrived in time to save the Elder, who was recuperating as we are speaking. And what was even more sadistic was that when Veera spoke to you, you attacked him so brutally that Veera looked like he was on the verge of his death," he said, then another image appeared in the screen.
It was of Veera, whose indeed looked like he was on the verge of his death.
Elder of Space continued. "Veera's face was so horrible to look that we had to put an illusion around his face. For his bravery and sacrifice, we had decided to give him a smiling appearance. So I would like to apologize to everyone if you were seeing him grinning at the loss of our Elders," he said.
What a great way to cover up Veera's evil grin?
He had enough of them. But he still wanted to see what more they are going to do.
And Elder of Space didn't disappoint him. "I believe that he is form the Forces of Darkness. We have witnessed him using Powers of Time, even the forbidden ones that was used by the First Elder. I believe he also has the power of Water now. Even including Elder of Water's memories. Elder of Water had been the best hypnotist present with strong mind. And Ram here had took him down. Did you remember Elder of Water's past?" he asked the crowd.
Most of them nodded, but there were couple of them who shook their head. So he explained it for them.
"Elder of Water had been hypnotized by his senior who had made him commit heinous crimes. Elder of Water was almost judged the culprit. But Elder of Time had prevented that from happening. And we know the rest about Elder of Water.
"Ram was able to take Elder of Water down. That meant he must be more powerful in the mind than our Elder. And we know only one such being who was more powerful than Elder of Water. It was his senior who had framed him.
"I believe that this proves that Ram is the senior of Elder of Water," he shouted.
Ram just shook his head. What a great way to frame Ram. He was not disappointed at all.
Just amused.
Ram believed that it was his turn to rock the show.
"If what Esteemed Elder of Space said was true, then I have the powers of Water as well as Powers of Time right?" Ram asked.
All the crowd erupted in utterly chaotic shouts.
Ram ignored them. He stared at the Elder of Space, who frowned. He seemed to be thinking what Ram was playing at. Even a little bit troubled.
Ram smiled. "The users of powers will have reactors in them right. Without the reactors, there was no way to use them right?" he asked.
Elder of Space nodded.
Ram smiled even more. "Then allow your best scientist or power user to check me. See whether I have the reactors for the powers that you are claiming that I have," he said.
Elder of Space nodded his head and Ram turned to see Veera, who glared at him.
Ram was excited. This was what he had been waiting for, the moment that Ram was going to use to reveal the truth regarding Veera.
He became even more confident when Aunt El, Elder of Air stepped towards him.
"Allow us to check his reactors," they said and when Elder of Space agreed, they proceeded to check Ram.
They projected a beam of light at Ram, at the possible locations that would show his reactors, if they were ever present inside of him.
The results were being displayed on the screens as well.
As they saw, Ram didn't have any reactors present.
They searched him several times, even they included some others.
But the result was the same.
Ram waved his hands over the screen that was showing his body, that was showing the proof that Ram didn't have any reactors present within him.
"As you are seeing, I don't have any reactors present inside of me that would enable me to use powers as they claimed I could. If you want you could even test me for the powers I was supposed to do. I think you have devices with you. But I think what you would see was me doing nothing. Because I don't have the powers that they mentioned. I am an innocent and I was being framed by the senior of Elder of Water and I am going to show the proof of who he was," Ram said.
He watched the crowd reaction as they were dumbfounded and then turned towards Veera, who as sweating.
Ram knew Veera was not going to make it easy for Ram to reveal him. But he was too excited to even think about it.
"The culprit is none other th—"
Ram watched in horror as the events that had just happened, were happening in reverse order.
Veera was reversing the Flow of Time.
It stopped right as Aunt El and Elder of Air asked Elder of Space permission to test Ram.
This time, The Elder of Space also joined them in searching Ram for the reactors and the results were the same. He did not have any reactors. Ram was so hyped by this. He truly believe that he could win. But before he could rejoice, Elder of Space shouted at Ram like a crazy old man that he was.
"Have you seen this man's vile use of powers, he had reversed the flow of time. Let me prove it to you," Elder of Space said and then played a video probably taken from Veera's assistant. This video depicted Ram using the powers instead of Veera.
Ram froze.
He watched the proceedings in horror.
Elder of Space was staring at Ram in horror as he said, "As you have already seen, Ram was able to use powers of time even without a reactor. I think only the forces of darkness are capable of achieving this feat. I urge my friends to not trust this devil and let's join hands and kill him."
