🌑 Shadow of Balance
Episode 5 – "Eyes of the Enemy"
Hawa me ek ajeeb sa pressure tha…
jaise koi dekh raha ho… chupke se…
Akira abhi bhi zameen par baitha tha…
uska saans heavy tha…
"Yeh… energy…"
woh dheere se bolta hai—
👉 "Mujhse control nahi ho raha…"
Raizen usse dekhta hai…
is baar uski aankhon me seriousness thi—
👉 "Isliye tumhe control seekhna padega… warna tum khud apne dushman ban jaoge."
---
Mira dheere se uthti hai—
"Abhi jo hua… woh normal nahi tha…"
Ren agree karta hai—
"Uske andar kuch aur hi hai…"
Daichi chup tha…
par uski aankhon me pehli baar dar dikhta hai—
👉 "Agar yeh control se bahar ho gaya toh…?"
Silence…
Raizen seedha bolta hai—
👉 "Tab tum sab mar jaoge."
---
⚡ Suddenly… woh dark presence aur strong ho jata hai
Hawa ruk jaati hai…
Sab ek direction me dekhte hain—
👉 andhera…
Aur us andhere me…
👉 ek aadmi dheere dheere saamne aata hai
Uska chehra shadow me tha…
par uski aankhen… chamak rahi thi
---
"Interesting…"
Uski awaaz thandi thi…
👉 "Yeh hai woh ladka… jiske liye itni mehnat ho rahi hai…"
Akira ka dil tez dhadakne lagta hai—
"Tu… kaun hai…?"
Woh aadmi halka sa muskuraata hai—
👉 "Tumhare liye… maut."
---
⚡ Ek second me woh Akira ke saamne aa jata hai
Speed itni tez… ki kisi ko samajh nahi aata
Akira react bhi nahi kar pata—
👉 BOOM
Woh hawa me uchhal jata hai
"AKIRA!!"
Mira chillati hai
---
Raizen turant aage badhta hai—
👉 "Bas!"
Dono ke beech me takkar hoti hai
đź’Ą Energy clash
Zameen phat jaati hai…
---
Woh aadmi peeche hatta hai…
aur hasta hai—
👉 "Accha hai… tum abhi bhi zinda ho Raizen…"
Raizen ki aankhen narrow ho jaati hain—
👉 "Kuroshin ka kutta…"
---
Silence…
👉 "Toh tumhe yaad hai…"
Woh aadmi dheere se kehta hai—
👉 "Mujhe bas ek kaam mila hai…"
👉 "Us ladke ko dekhna… aur report karna…"
---
Akira shock me—
"Report…?"
Raizen samajh jata hai—
👉 "Spy…"
---
Woh aadmi peeche mudta hai—
👉 "Abhi ke liye… itna kaafi hai…"
👉 "Agli baar… khel nahi hoga…"
---
⚡ Woh andhere me gayab ho jata hai
---
Mira gusse me—
"Usse jaane diya??"
Raizen calm tha—
👉 "Abhi ladne ka time nahi hai…"
---
Akira dheere se uthta hai…
uski aankhon me gussa tha
👉 "Main weak nahi rehna chahta…"
---
Raizen uski taraf dekhta hai—
👉 "Toh phir tayyar ho jao…"
👉 "Agli training… tumhe tod degi."
---
Door… andhere ke us paar…
👉 wahi aadmi rukta hai
Aur dheere se bolta hai—
👉 "Kuroshin… target confirm ho chuka hai…"
