"Sir, I hear some noises..." Aalekh whispered as the three carefully
climbed the small but stiff hill. They froze holding their breaths at
hearing voices nearby. They were going in the opposite direction as the
three, but the rough, loud voice coming from Abhimanyu's walkie talkie
was enough to have them running towards where the three were. Abhimanyu
signalled them to run, and they unintentionally split. Aalekh pulled
Yudi as he ran up the hill while Abhimanyu went to another direction
around it.
"s**t s**t s**t..." Yudi repeatedly muttered under
his breath. Aalekh hit him on the back of his head to shut him up, and
looked for something to help defend themselves. He realised that they
both had their guns and was about to take his one out when a gunshot
followed by tremendous pain delayed him. Two of the goons were standing
there with their rifles; the short one had shot his hand to stop him
from raising the gun. His gun now lay at the edge of the cliff, not
very far from where they were.
"I'll distract them, you get my
gun and yours." Aalekh muttered so that only Yudi could hear him. He
ignored his friend shaking his head vigorously and ran towards the
goons, managing to get one of their rifles after punching him on the
face. The other one was about to shoot when he was shot himself on the
arm. We see Yudi standing confidently, pointing both guns forward.
"Good job Nautan-"
Aalekh was hit on the side of his head by one
of the goons. He wobbled backwards, seeing black after a brain freeze.
Yudi shot again, this time successfully getting the other one right on
the chest. Aalekh on the other hand was fumbling with trying to hit the
goon; he had been hit on a very sensitive spot, so he couldn't see or
generate properly. Another blow came to him on the stomach, and Yudi
came forward to hit the goon on the head with his gun. The goon fell
unconscious. When he turned around to exchange a hi-five with Aalekh
though, his grin slipped.
"Aaleeeeekh!!!!!!" He yelled,
holding his hand out. Aalekh was hanging onto the edge of a cliff.
Yudi's hand was only a few inches away, but Aalekh was in no shape to
get hold of it. He tried to reach out for it nonetheless, but lost grip
on the edge he was holding onto. The last thing Yudi saw before falling
unconscious from the blow on his head by a rifle was Aalekh's body
falling, an image that would be painted in his mind forever.

"KMA? Come on damnit!" Abhimanyu exclamied as quietly as he could. He jumped up at getting a reply.
"Captain Abhimanyu? Hello? Are you there? Over and out."
"Yes yes, I'm here. Listen carefully, there are terr-" He stopped when he heard a gunshot.
"Captain?? Hello? What's going on? Over and out."
"I
don't know! Terrorists have managed to damage our bus, and we had taken
shelter in a clearing a few kilometers away from where it stands now.
The position of it is..." Abhimanyu explained the position, trying to
get the horror out of his mind; his cadets were in danger, but he had
to make sure help was coming before checking up on them. They were
future soldiers, they knew how to defend and attack. The blood drained
from his face once again though, after hearing a very clear scream of
'Aaleeeeekh!!!!!!'. "Make sure the help in on its way ASAP, got it? I
have to go, over and out. I'll try to contact KMA or the Headquarters
later." He ended the conversation.
"I'm afraid you won't need to
Captain. I doubt you'll live long enough to do so." A familiar voice
came from behind. He turned around, facing the owner of the voice. "I
doubt your precious cadets or your best friend will either, unless of
course they're willing to help us." Abhimanyu stood frozen with shock
and horror as he heard the last sentence, barely acknowledging the gun
pointed right at his face.
Precap - Rajveer is walking through a jungle, looking wornout and dirty. He holds his hand out to someone, and she accepts.
Aalekh is sitting and Yudi (head bleeding) is pacing in a small room.
