So, returning home, Niko starts thinking about becoming a superhero. Niko thinks, "There are three things most important to becoming a superhero. They are - superpowers, which I have, and not just one or two, but many; then a good costume, and finally, a powerful name. I need to think of a name for myself first, and then I can create my costume."
Niko then starts thinking of a name for himself. The first name that comes to his mind is "Hyperflash, because I am very fast and powerful." But Niko thinks that this name is a bit too advanced in English and wouldn't suit India. Then Niko thinks of the next name, "RZ. This name is cool and short, and it seems to fit with my multiple powers." But then Niko thinks, "But this sounds quite futuristic, and I don't have any special technology, and my powers are magical."
Then Niko thinks of the next name, "Blue Boy! This sounds pretty good. Cool, simple, and dashing, with no relation to powers. I think this name is perfect for me." And with this, Niko gets his name. Now it was time for the costume. Niko also had the power to change the color, shape, and texture of a few things.
Niko's costume consisted of a blue and black synthetic t-shirt paired with black pants designed with blue stripes and a cool belt. In addition, he wore black long shoes, rider's half-finger gloves, and a blue jacket with a hood. The hood was attached to his t-shirt with a collar.
He wore a metal mask and glasses on his face, which covered his entire face, but still, Niko wasn't satisfied. So he increased his height and muscle size to make himself appear larger. Niko did this so that no one would ever think that Niko and Blue Boy could be the same person.
Niko was very happy with his costume. Looking at himself, he says, "Cool superhero, now you have to do cool deeds just like this costume." After this, Niko sets out on his first mission.
Niko leaves one of his clones at school in his place and then, along with the rest of his clones, circles the city at double the speed of sound. Niko's hearing ability was a thousand times greater than the maximum limit of human hearing. So he could easily hear even the slightest sound within a kilometer range, making it easy for him to detect where a crime was happening.
After wandering for a long time, Niko finds his first mission. Four thieves were robbing a bank and fleeing from the police. Niko makes all his clones disappear and then starts chasing those thieves. Niko's speed was much greater than the speed of the thieves' bikes, so he appeared in front of them within seconds. Seeing Niko suddenly, the thieves panicked and crashed their bikes here and there.
Niko approaches them, but one of the thieves points a gun at him. Niko immediately snatches the guns from them and knocks them out before leaving. Initially, Niko thought he would have some dialogue with them, but then he thought that dialogues seem very odd in today's times. Moreover, most cool heroes don't engage in dialogues; criminals fear their appearance, like Batman, Superman, Daredevil, and our own Krrish.
Niko's first mission was good, but not very impressive. So he sets out on his next mission. His next mission is to stop some goons who were beating up a man. Niko immediately appears in front of the goons. Seeing this, one goon approaches Niko and says, "Hey, fancy dress! What are you looking at? Get out of here quietly." Niko then punches the goon, and the goon flies about ten meters away, crashing into a wall. Seeing this, the rest of the goons get very scared and immediately run away without any delay.
However, this was surprising for Niko. In movies, goons usually fight the hero even after witnessing such things, but these people ran away in fear from a single punch. Niko thinks, "That's why one shouldn't watch South Indian movies. They are completely rubbish." Niko then sets out to find his next mission.
The entire day passes, but Niko doesn't find a decent mission. His energy mark had also reached 30 percent, and his powers were gradually diminishing. So he returns home. The next day, Niko sets out again to find missions but finds only small missions that end with a single punch from him.
Doing this, three months pass. Now Niko was even more bored than before. There were no major crimes happening in his city. When Niko had decided to become a superhero, he had thought that he would face the mafia, international crime, underground gang wars, terrorism, or some big underground don, but here he was dealing with "some goons, foolish thieves, some low-life hooligans, and drunks."
This was better than his normal life. At least seeing the surprise on people's faces from his deeds was enjoyable. Here, there was nothing like that. On top of that, due to his hearing power, he had heard so many people's fights, various types of abuse, so many children's excuses, so many sweetheart talks, so many weird superstitions, so many types of fraud, and so many people's secrets that his hearing power now seemed like a curse to him.
So far, the only somewhat interesting problem in Niko's life was that his speed was so fast that no human could see him running, but people would feel a very strong gust of wind when he passed by. People would topple over and car windows would break due to the shock wave created by his speed.
(When something travels faster than the speed of sound, it breaks the sound barrier, producing a powerful shock wave that can easily break car windows and knock over standing people.)
Finding a solution to this problem was crucial. Niko didn't want to make his presence known to everyone. So Niko started using his phasing ability (the power to pass through objects), but now another problem arose: he couldn't run. When Niko had learned the phasing ability, he had faced many weird issues.
The first problem was that as soon as he used the phasing ability, his body would automatically move westward. After much thought, Niko realized that while using the phasing ability, his body was not affected by gravity. This meant that while his body remained in the same place, the Earth's rotation made it seem like his body was moving westward.
Niko thought that if his body was not affected by gravity, it meant that his body had no weight, which could allow him to travel at the speed of light. However, despite his best efforts, he couldn't move his body from one place to another. It felt like he was in space.
Then he realized that his body did have weight, but it was so minimal that gravity had no noticeable effect on it. The second problem was that now Niko couldn't walk while using the phasing ability. So Niko found a solution: he phased the ground wherever he placed his foot.
(Gravity can only act between two objects that have weight. Objects without weight, like light particles, always travel at the speed of light, and if an object has negligible weight, the gravitational pull on it will also be negligible.)
Initially, this was a bit difficult, but after two or three weeks of hard work, Niko learned to do it. However, doing this while running was very challenging. Learning this would take Niko a lot of time. Until then, Niko started running and jumping on rooftops to maintain distance from people.
After about three months, Niko learned to run while using the phasing ability. By using the phasing ability, Niko's speed increased from Mach 50 (fifty times the speed of sound) to Mach 250. But his boredom continued to grow. Now, Niko could do anything to feel a little thrill in his life. Though he had helped many people and reduced crime in the city by about 90 percent.
Niko had now turned fourteen, but all the fun had disappeared from his life. Despite having so many superpowers, there was no enjoyment in his life. But then Niko remembered that he had been doing superhero work for the past six months. So he thought he should see what impact it had on people.
Niko steals his elder sister's phone and looks up news related to his deeds. On one news channel, a woman is talking about his deeds, "In a small town of Faridabad in Haryana, miracles have been happening for the past six months. People say that someone comes and stops them from doing wrong things. For proof of this, we have come to Abdul, who says that an unknown person saved him from some goons. So Abdul, tell us what you saw that day?"
A man named Abdul says, "He was not a human; he was a god." Niko says, "What?" Abdul continues, "He suddenly appeared from the air. He was wearing a black cloak." Niko says, "It was blue, not black, and it was a jacket, not a cloak." Abdul says, "His cloak was fluttering in the air. As soon as one goon approached him, just a touch from him sent the goon flying and crashing into a wall."
Niko says, "Well, at least he got one thing right." Abdul says, "And then he suddenly disappeared. Can any human do that?" Niko says, "So if someone punches a person and sends them flying, you'll consider them a god?" The woman says, "You see, this is just one person's account, but thousands of people are saying similar things right now." After that, the woman plays some videos.
In the first video, there's a girl who says, "Some boys used to harass me and my friends every day, but suddenly, out of nowhere, a man appeared and threw those boys away as if they were pebbles." Then a man comes and says, "One day, the brakes of my car failed. My family was also in the car, and suddenly, with the brakes failing, the car went out of control and was about to crash into a truck. Suddenly, my car stopped. When I looked ahead, I saw a man had stopped my car. Then my car turned off, and he picked up my car and placed it on the side of the road and then suddenly disappeared."
In the next video, some boys say, "One day, we were crossing the road, but suddenly a biker broke the signal and was speeding towards us. The bike was about to hit us when suddenly a man appeared and grabbed the bike from behind, stopping it. The man riding the bike fell forward, and the next moment, the man who had stopped the bike disappeared right before our eyes."
These are the things that actually happened, but there were many other things people made up to become trendy. In some other videos, people say, "He descended from the sky, he had four arms, he held a trident, he was flying in the air, a bright light was emanating from his body, there was fire in his eyes, black flames were coming from his body, he came riding on a hawk, there was a snake on his head, and as soon as he arrived, the air, fire, water, earth, and sky started circling around him. He walked up a ladder coming from the sky, he had a mace in his hand, he wore a crown and gold and silver jewelry, and much more."
Then the female reporter concludes her news by saying, "Sinners, beware now because God has come to stop you."
Niko didn't know about all this because he lets his clones live his life in his place, and he was so troubled by his power of hearing that he had turned it off (Niko can stop any of his senses from working) and was only using his power of sight. After hearing all this, Niko drops the phone from his hand and says, "This world isn't worth helping. No matter what you show them, they will twist it to suit their own beliefs. Imagine, they made me a god. I set out to be a superhero and ended up becoming a god. Nothing can be done for them." After this, Niko quit his superhero activities and started living a normal and boring life.
