Paanch shadows…
ek saath uski taraf daud rahi thi।
Fast. Coordinated.
Jaise pehle se plan ho।
Lekin Anmol—
bilkul still।
"00:00:03…"
Usne dheere se count kiya।
Echo Sense full active tha।
Har ek ka intent…
clear dikh raha tha।
Left wala—knife
Right wala—fast striker
Peeche—heavy hitter
Do aur—support
"Team attack…"
Anmol ke lips par halka sa curve aaya।
"Galat choice…"
Next second—
sab us par toot pade।
WHOOSH!
Sabse pehla attack—left se।
Anmol last moment par jhuka—
knife uske baal ko halka sa cut karta hua nikla।
Lekin—
Anmol ne counter nahi kiya।
Right wala already aa chuka tha—
fast punch—
THUD!
Is baar Anmol ne block kiya—
lekin intentionally weak।
Wo peeche slide hua—
jaise wo push ho gaya ho।
Attackers ke faces par ek second ke liye confidence aaya—
"Ye weak hai…"
Anmol ke dimaag me ek hi thought—
"Bite the bait…"
Peeche wala heavy hitter ab full force se aaya—
"Finish him!"
Anmol ne us moment ka wait kiya tha।
Jaise hi wo paas aaya—
Anmol achanak side me shift hua—
aur uska haath pakad kar—
PULL!
Heavy hitter seedha apne hi teammate se takra gaya।
BAM!
Do log ek saath gir gaye।
"Teamwork… break karo।"
Anmol ne calmly socha।
Ab sirf teen active the।
Lekin—
ab wo cautious ho gaye the।
Ek ne dheere se kaha—
"Careful… ye simple nahi hai।"
Anmol seedha khada ho gaya।
Usne apni gardan halka sa tilt ki—
aur bola—
"Ab samajh aaye?"
Unme se ek ne gusse me attack kiya—
fast combo—
punch, kick, elbow—
Lekin—
Anmol ab dodge nahi kar raha tha—
predict kar raha tha।
Har move pehle se clear tha।
Har attack slow lag raha tha।
Usne ek perfect timing pe—
ek straight punch maara—
THUD!
Attack karne wala seedha ground par।
"Echo Sense…"
Anmol ne dheere se kaha—
"Game changer।"
"3 left…"
Lekin usi waqt—
situation change hui।
TING.
System flash hua—
"Warning: New Player Entered."
Anmol freeze nahi hua—
lekin uski aankhon me seriousness badh gayi।
"Abhi?"
Echo Sense ne turant react kiya—
Ek presence…
Baaki sabse alag
Calm… lekin dangerous
Footsteps…
slow… confident…
Andhere se ek naya aadmi bahar aaya।
Black hoodie…
hands pocket me…
Face aadha shadow me।
Baaki attackers automatically peeche hat gaye।
Respect… ya fear?
Anmol ne dheere se kaha—
"Leader…?"
Wo aadmi ruk gaya।
Phir halka sa hasa—
"Leader?"
"Interesting…"
Usne apni aankhen upar uthayi—
direct Anmol ki aankhon me dekha।
Anmol ka body ek second ke liye stiff ho gaya।
"Ye… alag hai…"
Echo Sense overload hone laga।
Signals unclear…
jaise system confuse ho।
"Naam…"
Anmol ne poocha।
Wo aadmi dheere se bola—
"Rehan।"
Phir usne Anmol ke haath ki taraf dekha—
jahan mark hidden tha।
Aur uske lips par ek dangerous smile aayi—
"Marked… huh…"
Anmol ne turant stance le li।
"Problem hai?"
Rehan ne seedha jawab diya—
"Problem nahi…"
"Opportunity।"
Next second—
wo vanish ho gaya।
Anmol ki aankhen wide—
"Fast…!"
Echo Sense ne warning di—
Right side… instant
Lekin—
late।
THUD!!
Rehan ka punch seedha Anmol ke stomach me laga।
Air completely out।
Anmol peeche slide hua—
ghutno par gir gaya।
"Difference samajh aaya?"
Rehan ki awaaz calm thi।
Anmol heavy breathing kar raha tha—
lekin usne upar dekha—
aur halka sa hasa—
"Finally…"
Rehan thoda confuse—
"Finally?"
Anmol dheere se khada hua—
uski aankhon me ab wohi shine thi—
jo pehle kabhi nahi thi।
"Ab maza aayega…"
Echo Sense fir se activate hua—
is baar…
sirf signals nahi—
patterns dikh rahe the।
"Tu strong hai…"
Anmol ne dheere se kaha—
"Par…"
Usne apni mutthi band ki—
"Main seekh raha hoon।"
Aur iss baar—
wo khud dash kiya।
Rehan ke lips par smile thi…
lekin Anmol ki aankhon me ab darr nahi tha।
"Main seekh raha hoon…"
Next second—wo khud attack karne dauda।
Iss baar shikaar nahi… hunter paida ho chuka tha।
Agar tumhe lagta hai Anmol ab sirf survive nahi… hunt karne ke liye ready hai
Toh apna support dikhao—Power Stones drop karo
Jitna zyada support milega…
utni jaldi Anmol next level unlock karega
