Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Drifting Drivers

Year 2030, Rohan Sharma, age 20, has 3 days to prepare for his fight with Zara al-Hayek, an executive from UAE. Till then, no executive will leave this place. He also needs to train himself to defeat Zara.

"LIKE I CARE!" Rohan yelled while Alejandro and Elena were going nuts.

"What do you mean, Brother? You know what have ya done! You challenged EVERY MAJOR! ARE YOU DUMB???" Alejandro is concerned.

"Heeey, it's all good! I will defeat y'all! I am strong as fuck, too!" Rohan seems a little too playful.

He actually was really nervous while challenging everyone, thinking he would just be ripped off of his executive post. But since the Boss has accepted the challenge, it's all good.

"ROOHHAAAN! HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DEFEAT HER!!??" Elena screamed out of concern.

"I told you, didn't I? It will all be fine." He is being a little too overconfident.

"What even are her powers, hey?" Rohan asked.

Both Elena and Alejandro got silent and looked at each other.

"....Um, what's the matter?" Rohan got confused.

"The truth is..... nobody knows what her powers are. She is a mysterious person, very self-reserved," Alejandro said.

"....Oh, that could be.... bad." Rohan got a serious look suddenly.

"See, I told you, didn't I? You shoul--" Elena was speaking but got interrupted by Rohan.

"Aahhhahahahaha!" He was laughing. "See, I pranked you two! Hahaha, look at your faces, ohoho-man."

Both Alejandro and Elena didn't like this prank.

"He-ey, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!!??" Rohan, who was eating, had his plate snatched by Alejandro.

They put a lot of different chili in his food.

"YOU WILL GET THE PAIN TOMORROW MORNING, BRO~THER!" Alejandro screamed, and both of them left.

"What happened? Did I really do something THAT offensive??" Rohan thinks to himself.

"Well, anyway,....*MUNCH.....WHOA, it tastes even better!" Rohan loves spicy foods.

Next Day, in the morning,

"CUUURSSSE YOOOUUUUU, ALEJANDRO!" Rohan screams while being in the toilet.

Rohan now dislikes spicy foods.

"AAGGGUUHHH! That spiciness was a little too much! It's my eighth ice cream cup of the hour!" Rohan was constantly eating ice cream.

"Here, boy!" A woman called to him.

"Whaa..?" he couldn't form a sentence.

"Oh, it's you, Zara, right from the 15 majors. What's up?" Rohan got a little too formal a little too early.

"Don't you think of me as an opponent, boy?" Zara asked him.

"Why the fuck is she calling me a boy?" He keeps it in his mind.

"I do, but you surely don't, right?... coz I can't copy your powers," Rohan answered.

"Ehhehe, you are right! I don't, but only in these 3 days.... At the battlefield, I will annihilate you," she said while having a strange smile.

"What's with that attitude?... Well, like I care—Oh!" Rohan was talking to himself when he saw Alejandro.

"Hey, your spicy food technique hurts like FUCKIN' hell, you know!!" He sort of screamed at him angrily.

"..." Alejandro didn't respond and walked away.

"...heh....WHHAAAA!!!??" Rohan didn't think that would happen.

He turns and saw Elena also a few meters away.

"HEEEY, Elena, would you like to have an ice cream!?" Another attempt by Rohan.

"..." Another attempt failed.

"......The fuck has happened...." Rohan thought to himself.

He thought really much about it and then he starts to act like the two of them to reanimate what could have happened.

"HMmmm, Bbbbrotherr is reallllly seems to be overconfident, ISN'T HE, ELE (*hint: talking about Elena)? "

"...Umm-mm..m, I think..so..."

"RRRRRRRRIGHT EH!"

"..uhmmmm-yea...h"

"Yeah, yeah, something like that could've happened...hmmmm." Rohan didn't know he was acting out in reality, and behind him, Alejandro and Elena were standing with a look of disappointment.

"...Um, guys, this sure isn't what it looks li—HEYYY! AT LEAST LET ME SAY SOMETHING, DON'T GOOO..." they left again.

After that, Rohan did his daily routine and went to sleep.

Two days later, the time of the 1st battle arrived, but by Rohan's surprise, Varun called a meeting inviting him.

At the Minor Meeting Place,

"So, Mr. Rohan, will it be okay with you if we let every executive here watch the battle, and also, can we broadcast it live on television?" Varun said to him in the meeting.

"OK~ay!" Rohan answered without thinking much.

Rohan always had a dream of being on television, so he was quite nervous about the battle.

He even got a haircut and worked out a little bit extra before the battle to look perfect in front of the camera.

And so, the battle begins.

'''EEEEEEEEEEVVVEEERYYYYYONE, WE ARE HERE IN THE 'INTRA-EXECUTIVE ELECTION'!!'''

"What.." Rohan wasn't told about that.

'''THIS ELECTION IS MUCH MORE INTENSE THAN USUAL, BECAUUUUSE THE EXECUTIVE FROM 'OLD INDIA' HAS CHALLENGED EEEEEVVVEERY MAJOR, and now it's about time; the battle BEGINNNS.... what? Where is Zara? She was here right now!!'''

Zara disappeared.

'''OHHHHHHH, WHAT WILL ROHAN DOO!!!???'''

Smirks "Ditto!!" Rohan said.

'''WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAT, EVEN ROHAN DISAPPEARED??!!!!'''

"So, here you are, Zara."

"I knew you would come, Rohan."

Both of them glared at each other before engaging.

"DRIFTING DRIVERRRSS!!!" Zara activates her powers 'Drifting Drivers' and popped straight out of Rohan's face.

"TAKE THIS!!!" She said, but Rohan disappears again.

"Now, I see YOUR POWERS, Zara, Multi-Dimensional Control, huh? Talk about overpowered." Rohan appears again, getting out of his pocket dimension.

"It may sound cheap, but I don't like to 'share,' Rohan.... So JUST DIE!!" Zara threw a punch in the air.

BBBBAAAMMMM! The punch that was thrown at Rohan from nearly 40 meters away landed on him.

Not quite, though.

"Whoa, you clearly know what to do, Zara! If it wasn't for my 'Dimensional Barrier,' I would be dead by now."

"I really need to appreciate you, Rohan. You can really understand my 'Drifting Drivers,' BUT!! I have been using my powers for over a decade now. I have full control over it! I will not be defeated by a 'newbie' like you." Zara said to him as she phases away.

'Drifting Drivers' allows the user to have control over the dimensions. This is a terrifying ability. It also provides the user with a 'Pocket Dimension,' a personal dimension with no shadow. It practically doesn't exist.

What Zara used to punch Rohan from that far is the change in momentum of the 'Phase Space,' which is a mathematical space that inhibits all possible states of a system. For an observable system, each state can be described as 'Position' or 'Momentum.' But as things go towards more than 3 dimensions, it gets a little complicated. Only God and these two currently know what is happening in these higher dimensions.

Zara isn't smart enough to properly navigate her punches in the n-Dimension, so she sent her punch into the 3-Dimension to properly navigate the trajectory of her punch.

Looks like she starts to punch again.

"Hmmm, so she hid... Coward!" Rohan said.

Rohan used his 'Dimensional Barrier' to stop the punches. His 'Dimensional Barrier' consists of the stacking of multiple (n-1)-Dimensions. It's just like how a 2-D space is just an infinite number of 1-D spaces stacked on top of each other.

"It's useless! Your punches cannot get past my infinite dimensional barrier! Every punch you throw will be negated....." Rohan smiles.

"Also, I have already gotten used to your power.... DRIFTING DRIVERS!!!" Now Rohan starts to punch her, but it's not getting to her since she is in her pocket dimension.

"HHHHHHEEYY, GET OUT OF THEREEE! YOU KNOW I AM GETTING PISSED OFF HERE!!!" Rohan is getting pissed.

"....." Zara doesn't come out.

"DON'T YOU IGNORE ME, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH! DRIFTING DRIVERS!!!" He activated Drifting Drivers, another ability: Dimensional Hop,

With this ability, Rohan can hop between dimensions ranging from 1-D to n-D. But no matter how much he tries, he can never hop onto the 0th Dimension,

But a Pocket Dimension seems to be closely related to the 0th Dimension, as the power Drifting Drivers naturally provides a person with this Pocket Dimension. The traversal to the 0th Dimension is mathematically possible,

Rohan phases into his pocket dimension,

"Okay, so... that's the pocket dimension, huh?" Rohan said calmly,

He checked something by Punching forward; his hand moved in a really normal way,

"As expected... This pocket dimension IS the 0th dimension. My hand is moving everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Jackpot," Rohan explains to himself in his mind. "BUT how should I find her? This is just a big void space with nothing in it. This practically does not even exist without me, hmm... without me..." Rohan flips through the pages of the ancient books he has read in his mind and gets to the answer, "Ah, yes! This area doesn't exist without ME. Hahaha!" Rohan laughs as he steps forward, and suddenly,

He finds Zara,

"WHHAA... HOW... HOW DID YOU GET HEREEEE!!!!???" Zara was shocked beyond belief,

"It's simple, really. This space practically does not exist without me AND you... so the probability of me getting to you in a place like this is 100%. Simple, right?" Rohan calmly explains,

"DRIFTING DRIV--aagghh!" She was so shocked that she just started using her powers, but she didn't know that Rohan was already two steps ahead,

When Rohan Punched forward, he theoretically punched the nothingness, and that punch traveled through nothingness, making it a guaranteed hit. It was just a bit slow because it's not traveling to anything but the space that those two inhibit,

"Aaagghh! FUCK! I WILL FORM A DIMENSIONAL BARRIER!!!" Zara said as she formed a dimensional barrier,

"Idiot!!!!" Rohan said softly,

"Hah... wait, wha... what is happening? I cannot... subdue my barrier..." Zara was utterly shocked,

"Of course, you can't," Rohan said, and she looked at him,

"We are already in a 0th dimension, and we can't go lower than that, but you used a barrier that employs an infinite series of -1 Dimensions, something that theoretically and even mathematically doesn't exist," Rohan continues,

"With that, you are trapped in your own infinite dimensional barrier while already being in the 0th Dimension! You... are... mathematically... DEAD ALREADY," Rohan explains clearly,

Zara's eyes start to tear up, and with a last ray of hope, she said, "Please... help... me," while tearing up,

She fainted,

"Of course, I will. I am not a supervillain, you see," Rohan said to her, but she was already unconscious,

"'Drifting Drivers: OverDrive'!!!!!" Rohan uses Drifting Drivers, another ability he named OverDrive,

With this, he could merge all the planes of the (n-1) Dimensions to form a separate n-dimension. In Zara's case, he merged all the -1 Dimensions to another 0th Dimension, then picked her up and got to his original 4-D space before his Ditto would subdue.

'''WE HAVE FINALLY GOT A LOOK AT THE TWO AND WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTT! ROHAN DEFEATED HER! ROHAN SHARMA, FROM OLD INDIA, DEFEATED HER! WITH THIS, HE PROGRESSES TO THE SECOND BATTLE! AND FOLKS, I KNOW THIS SHOW WAS QUITE BORING, BUUUTTTTT DON'T MISSSSSSS OUT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE 14 MAJOR BATTLES LEFT!!!!'''

Rohan has finally defeated Zara and now progressed to the next battle, but he was thinking that his battle with Zara was sure easy.
