Portal : Rise Of Magnificent Seven

"A 15-year-old along with 6 others gets pulled into a portal. According to scientists, it is a pathway to another world. One who goes in has very fewer chances to return back into the present." That's what they wrote when I really got pulled into a portal. Well, some of them even predicted that I won't return. Hi there! I am Harry and yes, there are certain things such as space-time continuum and quantum space, etc. that humans should understand not to mess with. Real big and confusing words right? Let me make it easier for you to understand, let's just say, humans should use Science and technology for good purposes rather than using them to just satisfy their personal needs. I am a football player and have played for my school and got a few trophies. I am keen on participating in various tech competitions where we actually have to build or at least give some new tech information to the world, in simple words, invent something new, for a good purpose. I had passed my tenth grade and now was ' chilling ' as I scored good marks, as expected I would say, and so I got my freedom for four months! I had already decided what to do during those 120 days. I have already loved to play with friends and do something with my desktop. So yes, I played video games, went out with friends to play football, read some books, watched Netflix, and much more. But sometimes things do not happen as you had predicted or wished that to happen. Not every day is the same and normal, life changes every day, or should I say every moment. I say so because I have had a real, um.. abnormal days through which I went. Wanna hear what happened? Well, here it goes!

One fine day, I went with my friend whom I call RJ, to a gaming parlor to play FIFA 21 on PS. My parents were out of town and I was home alone. I had a spare key of the house. I called RJ and asked him if he was free and could he accompany me to the gaming parlor. He agreed and we both then we cycling to the gaming parlor, not ignoring the fact that I was only fifteen and I didn't even have a learning license, though I used to drive two-wheeler like my dad's bike, you know just to keep it running and not letting it get cold for a long time. So I and RJ had a good time playing FIFA and then we went to the nearest cafe to re-energize. It was about 5 pm when I returned back home and relaxed. Then at about 6 pm, I made myself a coffee and went cycling to Major Kumar's house. It was his last day of the holiday and his team was going to come to collect him. He had taught me how to fight, and survive in critical situations, one can say, he had trained me to be a junior commando. He had helped me to build up those muscles on my body. I was always fascinated by the military and wanted to be a part of it. I reached MAJ. Kumar's house greeted him and his team, and he introduced it to his team. Well, there were the Elites, para-commandos. That evening, we all were talking and suddenly a ball bounced past our heads. I went to take that ball and give it to the guy who threw it. But as I went near to that ball, and as soon as I threw it, a strange circle appeared out of nowhere. It was literally attracting all the things towards it. I was near it so its force of attraction was felt by me. I could grab a stone pillar and tried to hold it as long as I could. Being near to that strange thing, the Elites could not come close to it but fired a few shots to that things boundary. Bullets didn't have any effect on that. I could not hold the pillar for long and I got sucked into that thing and in no time entered a new world. Sounds fascinating, doesn't it? But believe me, that was the strangest thing anyone could hope to happen to him/her. In my world, everyone was afraid of what would happen to me and what was that thing. I was in another world afraid of how would I survive. I could see some lights glowing a few miles ahead and I headed straight to them. I could see that people were running. Two guys wearing a mask came to me and one of them asked where did I live. Before I said something, there was a strange sound, like some warrior blew the horn of war. The other guy gave me a combat knife and asked me to follow them to their base. I had no other option but to follow them. After 20 -25 mins, I could see a small building with lights but before we could rush towards it, we were attacked by some strange creatures. Well, it looked scarier. Masked guys asked me to go and hide somewhere. I could find a space to hide. Being hiding, I saw that both of them were caught by the creatures. Those creatures looked like warriors who had turned into zombies, kind of. A man came ahead and said that he had finally caught them and now was going to slaughter their heads. I said to myself I had to other options, it was better than I could try saving those guys and if I die I would do something good and then die, else hide and run and when death comes to me, it would be such a regret. So I made my move. Well, I had played the Assassin's Creed game series. I stealthy killed them one by one. In the end, I broke an unexpected assault to the creatures groups' leader. The two guys also freed them and we could manage to save ourselves. The last one had one of the masked guys, fallen on the ground and with a sword, he was going to kill him before he could I made my move and got a deep cut right on his backside of neck and in counter I pierced the knife in his body thrice, as I was trained to use any weapon by Mr. Kumar. I saved those guys, and they took me to their base. Till then I thought that I was the only guy who had traveled to that new world, but no there were these six guys with whom the same had happened but they were there before me, they got there 2 months before me. They told me what all had happened, what were we supposed to do, and how to survive. As a matter of fact, we all were from India and of the same age.

All of them were special at something. Let me tell you about these guys. Anil, the strategies' maker. Kamal, best shooter, most appropriate aim. Akshay, best hacker. Gautam, the medic. Avni, the best female fighter I have ever seen. Saanvi, the best girl to gather information, one can say she is the best source to give the information on the next mission and helps in planning and other stuff. These guys trained me with whatever they had got and I gave them whatever I had. We all were now trained with tech, fighting, medics, and more. We were now ready to face anything. Slowly we found that there were many people and small villages around. We united all of them under the slogan, "One land, one soul and one group!!!" We trained people to fight. On the other hand, we were trying to make a portal that would get us back to our country. While working on the portal, our tech team made the most powerful and best suit in that world. We could get and use any weapon at any time and many more features. One of its features was that we could literally survive a missile attack. In another word, if someone fired a missile and we got hit by the missile, the suit would get damage of only 0.5 %. On the other hand, we had made weapons and their magazines in such a way that, we would be never out of ammunition. It was like an M416 will never run out of bullets in a single mag. We trained people and made an army. We seven went to check if we could find someone, who could actually help us go back to our world. That feeling when one wears that strong armor with numerous weapons and walks through the forests, you know, its kind of a legendary feeling. We walked for many days and found that we had to help ourselves. We made a base, built some defenses, and arranged for food. We were attacked almost every day by that zombie - things. One fine day, Saanvi came to me and said that she wanted to show me something, which might help us. So I and Kamal followed her. We found a guy, he gave us a blueprint. While we were going through that blueprint, I looked up to thank him for that portal's blueprint, but what do I find! He was not there, vanished into the woods. Well, we shouted 'Thank You!' We went back and gathered resources to make the portal. Now we had to face a big storm. Those zombie-guys had made us their targets and came with big battalions to attack us every night and do not let us make the portal. We advanced our defenses. We fought one night. On the second day, I, Avni, Kamal, and Anil made automated turrets, barricades, mounted machine guns, made bows and arrows, etc. Development was going good, we were successful in defending ourselves from our enemies, and we had thought that now we could go back to our world. On the 7th day since we had started making that portal, now the portal was ready to use. It was becoming dark and to run the portal we needed sunlight. We who fought at night slept in the morning. But that night we all were awake as Saanvi had got us stunning information about the enemies. She had told that their leader along with all of them were now going to strike us. We had equipped ourselves with our best weapons and had decided to stop them for once and for all. On the other hand, our kingdom's army was marching towards the battleground to help us fight. We had decided that we won't eliminate them so easily, they will when the sun's rays fall on them. We seven and the army were successful to trap them in a big dig. But their leader had got me. I and their leader dropped our armor and took up swords and fought like two fierce animals, a tiger striking a dragon. That guy was the best warrior. I won. I was successful to hold him up till the sun rose. He burnt with his men. And peace was served. A war that was fought by many men for 100 years, now ended. Our portal had charged up, but it was going to self-explode itself. Before going to the portal we all thanked each other, wished the kingdom and army luck, and asked them to keep fighting till their last breath and left that world. I had asked Akshay to set up the coordinates in such a way that we could walk on land. The portal opened at the same place from where I had been disappeared for my world.

We came out of the portal and it exploded. As we got up, we saw the Indian army pointing guns at us. Of course, they would do so, we all were skinny when we disappeared and now when we returned, we were in different shapes and were the warriors who had seen the eye of the storm. We got our masks down and hopefully, Mr. Kumar identified me , and asked troops to drop their aim and that we were clear. We had finally made it. We kissed our motherland and greeted each other for their efforts. We narrated the whole incident to the army. The military knew who that guy was who set us up. That psychopath had threatened our country by saying that as he portal-led us, he would do the same thing to our whole country and her people. We assured the army that we would take care of that guy. The Military gave us their leads and in about 2 days we got him. He thought we won't return but alas, he messed with the wrong guys, and with the wrong country. When we handed that guy to the army, he was found guilty and his punishment was death. They killed him. We still wonder who that guy was who gave us that blueprint to make the portal and I out of curiosity got the paper on the day I had 'disappeared' into the portal, you know just to see what the media had printed on the incident the next day in the newspaper and they wrote, "A 15-year-old along with 6 others gets pulled into a portal. According to scientists, it is a pathway to another world. One who goes in has very fewer chances to return back into the present." We seven got our percentage, and then we were invited by the army to join them. We accepted that invitation, and who wouldn't miss such an opportunity to serve his country. We were now the youngest Military Warriors. We trained more men, made some new tech, etc. to make our country's army strong enough. We returned to our homes as it was 7 pm. After I freshened up, I went to my room to play FIFA 21, a long time I didn't play that game. I found a letter near my computer. It was kind of strange because I was sure that I did not write any letter in the morning before going to my office. It was obvious someone broke in, to just keep the letter and wanted me to read it as other things were at their place and nothing was stolen. I opened the letter. I was stunned. I immediately called Avni and asked her to call everyone else and meet me with others near Star Lake, as we named it. Everyone gathered. Everyone holds a letter in their hands. We all had received a letter, in which it was written, 'I saw what you did back there in the other world. I am coming with a massive army to get you and your team. Regards from the Different World.' Now it was obvious, that someone held us as their targets. We read everyone's letter. We thought we had ended the war in the other world from where we returned back home, but no, someone was coming with an army to take revenge for what had happened. Well we are Military, and we are not afraid of anything in this world, that guy invades our country, we will strike back. After all, we are tigers, we are not born to surrender, we are born to protect and hunt down the evil. We are the Magnificent Seven.
