Chapter 3 - The Mystery man

The punch sent shockwaves around Helon. The air pressure from the shockwave so high, the air condensed became visible in smooth white color even from afar. Raa went flying into the ocean from the punch,huge waves rose from the ocean surface as Raa banged against the ocean bed. For a moment he lost his senses but immediately regained focus and corrected his stance. Raa stretched his legs to jump from the ocean bed and used his thighs as coiled springs.

He came out of the deep ocean like an arrow, tearing the water surface making more great waves on the ocean surface.

Raa recollected the voice saying that the mystery man was 'the help', and that they are 'one' as he came out of the ocean. He then thought if that was the case, why is the Mystery man after him. Raa was now suspended in mid air after coming out of the ocean and looked right in the eyes of the Mystery man, he himself standing on the ocean surface was looking sharply in the eyes of Raa.

As Raa was looking, the Mystery man vanished into thin air right infront of his eyes and in an instant appeared right infront of him. Mystery man was indeed very fast, but Raa was in no mood of taking any beating again. Mystery man had his fist ready again, he coiled his hand, but Raa not distracted by any thoughts and voices anymore was ready this time. He could see every movement as if it was happening in slow motion. Raa effortlessly blocked the punch and just by the flick of his fingers he touched the body of the Mystery man.

He went flying in other direction, skidding against the surface of water and dividing the water surface into two. He finally came to a stop.

The power of Raa shocked the Mystery man and before he could think of anything else, Raa was flying creating shockwaves towards him. Raa moved around, swung his leg in the direction of the Mystery man, Raa's feet connecting with the abdomen of the Mystery man. The force so great it made Mystery man roll on his whole body and he went 90 degrees from where he originally was.

Mystery man quickly balanced himself again anticipating another attack from Raa, when Raa came flying to his location, standing right in front of him. Raa was in no mood for violence anymore. He wanted answers more than he wanted to beat this Mystery man for completely blindsiding him.

Raa:"Who are you? Why do you want to pick a fight with me?"

Raa noticed the circular serrated blade clearly now, it was moving all around the Mystery man's upper body and creating sparks and beams as it went around. The beams were connecting with the Mystery man's body as they came out of the blade.

The Mystery man started getting up slowly, moving his face up towards Raa as he got up. Raa and the Mystery man finally looked at each other clearly without throwing any punches. Both shocked to see the resemblance they had. They looked identical if not for the blade of Mystery man and the scar in Raa's forehead. It looked as if they were created side by side by the same creator.

Mystery man:"I am Bira, the protector of all creati..."

Before Bira could complete the sentence. Raa and Bira noticed the serrated blade moving in between them on top of their heads and spinning so fast they could hear the deafening buzzing it suddenly created.

Raa remembered the voice saying that they are one and that the Mystery man was the help he would need. Then he thought about their resemblance, their skin color, their face cut, their almost identical powers. How they both could easily withstand each other's blows. And now this blade which was till now moving around the Mystery man was coming in between them.

Raa dismissed the idea that it was an offensive and controlled movement of the blade by the Mystery man as he looked equally surprised by this changed state of the blade. The circular movement of the blade started moving large amount of air with it. Raa and Bira could feel the breeze the spinning blade created.

They were also being lifted at the same time as the blade moved upwards. The sparks and beams coming from the blade looked like a local thunderstorm. In an instant, two high beams came out of the disk and connected with the bodies of Raa and Bira.

They both went into trance state as soon as the beam touched their skins.
