2 Days Later

"Saksham, your father called from the bank and asked you to bring some documents. He forgot them at home." Savitri said.

"Alright, mum. Give me the documents and I will go to the bank. I haven't been outside for quite a lot of days. This will give me a reason to take a nice refreshing walk outside." Saksham replied from his room.

After Savitri handed Saksham some documents, he came downstairs and started walking towards the place where he could get an auto-rickshaw. After not waiting for a long time, Saksham saw an empty auto-rickshaw and sat in it. Telling the place where he wanted to go, Saksham sat back and started thinking about his powers. A few days ago, the news channels once again reported an encounter of another thug. And no doubt, this was due to Saksham's powers.

Today when he woke up, he found out that there was no kind of heaviness in his chest now, which means that his soul has completely recovered. He can now use his powers again. So, he immediately thought of something on which he could use them.

"Warn me before I have any danger around me," said Saksham quietly.

So, till now, Saksham has understood that he could only use his powers after he said something. "Saying" is important or else nothing happens. Imagine a scenario where someone is going to assassinate him. They would just silently sneak up his back, kill him and he wouldn't even be able to use his powers to obliterate them. In the end, he will die and such an amazing ability will go to sh*t.

So, Saksham felt that whatever he used his powers on, the most important is to somehow warn him of danger so that he could be well prepared to use his powers. And after using his power again, he felt that familiar heat as well as a little exhaustion too.

After about 15 minutes, the auto-rickshaw had reached the destination. The bank where Arjun had gone was in Noida Sector 62. Now, Saksham just had to walk for a min or two and he will reach the bank. As he came out of the auto-rickshaw, Saksham saw a market not far away. Hawkers were shouting and people were walking from one stall to another. After another look there, Saksham started walking away.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Just as he was about to walk off, suddenly Saksham felt faint and his head started ringing. He suddenly understood that there was danger near him. And before he could react, he felt his senses becoming sharper and sharper and suddenly he saw the world slowing down in his vision. Of course, the time didn't slow down. It was just that his reflexes had reached inhuman levels.

With his sharp senses, he suddenly heard something like a small explosion, as if a sound of breaking the air. Then he saw flames erupting in a distance. At this time, there was only one thing that kept ringing inside his brain, "Bomb".

Outside the market, in a silent alley, some people were standing in front of a middle-aged man, surrounding him. The middle-aged man had a look of shock and fear written all over his face. As he tried to run, a young woman said, "You can't go anywhere, Raju. You have been surrounded from all sides. Just tell us what you all were up to. All your 'friends' have also been arrested so don't even think about expecting help from them. Just tell us honestly or you won't stay alive to see tomorrow's sun,"

Hearing this, Raju stopped and then suddenly laughed coldly, "Do you think I am going to open my mouth if you tell me to? I have done nothing till now and you can't do anything to me. So, just leave all the people you arrested and go away. If you want to do anything to us, think about what you will be explaining to the higher-ups when my country asks about us."

"Shut up, you betrayer! Even dare to call that country your own! I can't believe you betrayed your own country for some money and power! And don't worry, I won't be explaining anything to higher-ups because we have already searched through every inch of your rooms and found pretty valuable information. Those are enough for us to have an investigation and interrogations. Let's see how you keep your mouth closed in front of a Soul Power-user."

As soon as Raju heard this, his face changed and his eyes started to look around. He knew that if he was taken in front of a Soul Power user, all the secrets would be in front of these people and then his end will be near too.

Suddenly, as if making some tough decision, Raju opened his clenched fist and the surrounding temperature started rising. Feeling the slight change in the temperature, the woman mocked, "Oh? Now you want to use your abilities? Don't for-"

Before the young woman finished her sentence, her face suddenly changed. She found red veins popping out on Raju's skin. Then it was as if lava was running across the veins, as they lit up with blinding red light. Seeing this, the young woman suddenly shouted, "RUN!! HE IS GOING TO EXPLODE!"

Before they could even exit the alley, there was a giant explosion behind them, sweeping them away. Some used their powers to create a shield around them to minimize the damage they would take from the explosion. And the others who couldn't react in time were directly obliterated in a second, turning into ashes. But the explosion didn't stop here. It started expanding out in the shape of a dome. And looking at the power of the explosion, some buildings, as well as the whole market, will be destroyed with people inside it.

At this time, the young woman who was thrown into the air due to the massive shockwaves of the explosion looked at the expanding flame dome and just closed her eyes as she could not see the death of so many people around her. Then she hit the side of the scorched ground and hit her head hard and lost consciousness. As she lost her consciousness, tears flashed in the corner of her eyes as her she thought, 'Who can stop this tragedy now?'
