CHAPTER 4 : A DREAM
Cloud and Sayuri were now using every moment that they could, to pretend that they were a couple now, in front of Essel and this was making him mad like hell. Though, Cloud was pretty happy with his plan so far as Essel was reacting as he was expected to. Cloud also noticed that whenever Essel envied the sight of Cloud and Sayuri spending time together, lovingly, as they were pretending, his tattoo would start fading but it then it would get reformed after he regained his balance. Finally one day, Essel just couldn't hold his patience and decided to approach the two personally .
Essel(sounding dizzy) :"Why did you do this to me, Sayuri ? I love you !"
Sayuri : "Essel, I think your love for power is much more than your love for me . "
Essel(losing balance) : "No, i still value you more than anything else (a sudden red glow in his eyes, face fuming with anger) ssshhhh ...get away from me you witch!! "
Cloud : "Kiss him now Sayuri, his evil side is making him dizzy and he is losing his memory!!"
Sayuri got hold of him by his wrist and planted her rosy lips against his, they kissed like never before. She noticed that the Xenome tattoo on his wrist was fading away but it was giving him so much agony that he was trembling. So she hugged him harder and kissed him, now more passionately. Finally, they both experienced a jerk which pushed them apart, but the tattoo was nowhere to be seen and Essel was returned to his original self again. Sayuri planted a peck on the nape of his neck and hugged him, this moment made Essel cry. He thanked both his friends for helping him come out of this state and apologized for all the blunders that he committed all this while.
(THAT DAY WHEN ESSEL SLEPT AT NIGHT HE GOT ANOTHER DREAM .)
SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED WHEN OMARIN AND NAPROS WERE FIGHTING ,WHEN THEY TOOK TARGET AT EACH OTHER DURING THEIR DUEL, THEIR CHARMS COLLIDED IN MID AIR AND A PHOENIX STAG WAS CREATED WHICH RECREATED XENOBIA AGAIN AND MADE NAPROS FREE FROM THE CHARM CREATED BY XENOME ON HIM .........
Essel's body catapulted from dream to reality and he got up with a jerk, he was still unsure of what had happened in his dreams. Coming back to his senses, he realized that there was no one named Cloud or Sayuri who he knew, in real. So? it was just a dream that he had being seeing all this while !! He was quite amused at having seen and been convinced by a dream which was so unbelievably close to reality.
I TRIED MY LEVEL BEST TO DO JUSTICE TO THE BRILLIANT PIECE OF STORY CALLED XENOME CREATED BY MY FRIEND, I HOPE IT TRANSPORTED YOU TO THE PLACE I WANTED YOU TO BE IN, DURING ESSEL'S JOURNEY.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THE DEVIL YOU ARE TRYING TO FIGHT IS ACTUALLY INSIDE YOU ONLY? READ THIS SPECIAL ONE TO KNOW...........
CHAPTER 3 : DEVIL INSIDE
Essel was growing ruder and grumpier by each passing day. The evil powers that came to him along with the tattoo on his hand, were the reason behind this changing behavior. He was apparently enjoying his powers thoroughly, particularly with all the attention that they got him, from the opposite sex. Cloud tried to confront Essel with his own reasons but Essel was just not ready to listen to his words. The two argued much over it with the end result being Essel slapping Cloud, for no reason as such. This hurt Cloud, it hurt him badly. But still, he was determined to get Essel out of this situation which had brought about a turmoil in all of their's lives. Surprisingly, Essel was changing to such an extent that even Sayuri's charm and innocence seemed to be fading away from his mind. It was as if, Essel had developed sort of a split personality that was taking control of him, slowly but steadily.
Sayuri (sounding very worried) : "Cloud, am very worried. I have absolutely no idea why Essel is reacting so strangely these days."
Cloud : "I know. I know. It's a devil that has taken over him, completely.You just do as I direct."
Sayuri (relieved): "Thank GOD! but what's your plan? "
Cloud : "You'll come to know about it at the right time. "
XENOBIA IS IN GRAVE DANGER DUE TO THE DUEL BETWEEN KING OMARIN AND NAPROS . OMARIN IS JUST PRETENDING TO FIGHT BUT ACTUALLY, HE IS ONLY DEFENDING HIMSELF FROM HIS BROTHER'S CHARM AND MERELY PASSING TIME, WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN ......
......... Essel, are you fine ? (Sayuri's voice) .....Answer me please ......
(ESSEL AWAKES FROM HIS DREAM )
Essel : "What happened ?Why were you shouting ? "
Sayuri(crying) : "You were shouting in your dream , was it a nightmare? "
Essel(doubtful) : "I don't know what is happening to my mind , why I am having the same dreams again and again? "
Sayuri(still crying) : " Please get rid of this tattoo of yours, its a really bad omen for all of us. I and Cloud are very worried about you."
Essel(angrily) : "Don't you mention even the name of that betrayer in front of me."
Sayuri : "But he's your best friend!"
Essel(with an evil smile) : "Seems like you have taken a liking for him, huh?"
Sayuri : "You are not the Essel I loved, you are someone else. I will not talk with you again."
Sayuri narrated this whole incident to Cloud. He assured her that everything would get fine, as now was the time to execute his plan. He asked Sayuri to pretend to be his lover. He knew, only the power of love could help Essel get over the meteorite's charm and this divine power, that of love, was now going to be their weapon against the evil charm that was distancing their Essel from them. Sayuri was a little doubtful about the plan, initially. But with Cloud's reasoning in the backing, she was soon convinced.

THE STONE THAT ESSEL IS AFTER, IS NOT JUST A POWERFUL METEORITE WHICH COULD MAKE HIM IMMORTAL, IT ALSO HOLDS MANY EVIL POWERS INSIDE IT. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE FINALLY CONQUERS IT AND HOW HE IS ABLE TO DO SO.......
CHAPTER 2 : MIGHTY LOVE
Cloud is still worried about his friend's strange interest in that meteorite and about what he was planning to do to finally conquer it. He tried asking Essel about his plans but Essel rudely refused to reveal anything. This perturbed Cloud even more because the Essel that he knew, never talked to anyone in such a rude manner .
Three days after the meteorite collided in the park, Essel talked to Sayuri about his admiration for her. Sayuri gladly accepted him right there on the spot. Cloud could sense an evil pride in Essel's eyes which had been there for some time now. Nevertheless, he congratulated his best friend for getting his love and succeeding in a task that he had never been able to accomplish since so many years, the mighty task of expressing his feelings in front of Sayuri.
He was sure that Essel was still obsessed with the rock. So, he tried convincing him about how ill-omened the rock had proved for their friend Naruto and how much destruction it had caused in the park which used to be a heavenly place for them to play. But still, Essel was lost in his own thoughts and didn't pay much attention to Cloud's words.
Cloud(angrily) :"Are you following me or not? I've never seen you like this!!"
Essel(with a shine in his eyes and laughing) :"You don't need to worry about me, Cloud. Coz very soon, I'll be the proud owner of that precious stone.Wait and watch how this happens ."
Cloud(sounding worried) :"But you can't even touch it. Haven't you seen Naruto's condition? I think there's a charm on that meteorite which is unbreakable ."
Essel(still laughing) : "Oh! So you are smart enough to figure it out. But Cloud, I am aware of a power stronger than that. Just wait and watch."
Cloud was aware that his friend had something unusual and dangerous in his mind and that it was going to happen very soon. But he had no clue about the fact that it was going to have something to do with a girl. The other day, he went to the park where he noticed two figures standing in front of the meteorite. On observing closely, he realized that they were Essel and Sayuri. He keenly observed their activity and was shocked to see that in one hand Essel held Sayuri's hand while his other hand rested on the meteorite. But all of a sudden, something happened and Essel felt a jerk. Scared, Essel rushed towards his friend but soon realized that he was absolutely fine except a black Xenome mark that had formed on his hand that had touched that rock. Essel began laughing in a very strange manner and ran somewhere without saying anything to either of the two(Sayuri and Cloud). Cloud then asked Sayuri about what had happened with his friend. All that she told was that Essel had asked her to hold his hand and she had obliged. He then touched the stone and from that very moment, he had been acting pretty strange.
AFTER THIS ENCOUNTER, ESSEL HAS BECOME THE OWNER OF ALL THE POWER THAT XENOME WAS KNOWN FOR. BUT IS HE REALLY CAPABLE AND STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT ? IS THIS IMMENSE POWER IN THE RIGHT HANDS?

INTRODUCTION : HERE'S THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED WHEN A MAGICAL METEORITE FROM A FAR OFF PLANET COLLIDED IN THE PARK WHERE ESSEL WAS PLAYING WITH HIS FRIENDS AND RESULTED IN A MAJOR EPISODE IN HIS LIFE ........
By: Harsh Bhardwaj
PART 1 : FIREBALL
Essel was, as usual, playing with his friends when suddenly the girl(Sayuri) he had a secret desire for, passed by. He resisted looking at her but ultimately failed in his attempt and started ogling at her, unaware that Cloud had sensed his feelings and was looking in his direction, he realized this when Cloud whistled in his direction but Essel only blushed in response to his whistle .Sayuri wasn't the most attractive girl he knew, but Essel was pretty obsessed by her simplicity and charm. He was always shy in front of her inspite of the secret glances they shared with each other, his friends advised him to ask her out, but out of nervousness he was never able to talk to her.
Cloud(walking towards Essel) :" Why can't you just propose her, huh?"
Essel :"Dunno buddy, i think i am not suitable enough for her. Just Look at her she's so graceful, i am way out of her league (gushing) ."
Cloud : "Idiot, look at the way she blushes and looks at you .... It's a hint pal. Now just go on and be a man . I know you are the most daring guy. "
Essel(nervously) :"I can't buddy, my guts doesn't work in front of her........... leave it ."
Cloud(marching towards Sayuri) :"If you are not willing to ask, then i'll do it for you. Just wait and watch, I'll tell you how it's done. "
Suddenly a huge ball of fire collided in front of Cloud and he was thrown off the ground by the explosion it caused, everybody was surprised by what had just happened and gathered around the fireball which created a crater in the ground that was producing smoke. Luckily, Cloud suffered minor injuries and was attended by Essel at the right time .Essel sensed something odd about that fireball and asked everyone to stay away from it, but his friend Naruto dared to touch it and within moments his hand was reduced to smoke, he was immediately rushed to hospital but his hand was lost forever .
Essel(looking towards the strange meteor) : "I can sense something magical about it, what do you think Cloud."
Cloud(hastily) :"You better keep away from that thing after what just happened to Naruto, he did a foolish thing by touching this strange Meteorite. Sometimes this show-off pays. "
Essel : " No, there's more to this buddy. I feel like this fireball, talking to me and it's simply asking me to conquer it . "
Cloud(angrily) :"Don't you ever think of that or you can't imagine what would i do if you dared. Do you wanna Die?"
KING OMARIN IS LOST IN HIS THOUGHT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HIS PLANET XENOBIAN AND ALL THE XENOBIANS LIVING THERE WHEN SUDDENLY SOMEONE ENTERED HIS ROOM . HE STOOD ON HIS FEET ON FINDING THAT ITS HIS GREEDY BROTHER NAPROS WHO WAS AFTER THE PRECIOUS ROCK XENOME THAT WAS THE POWER SOURCE AND LIFELINE FOR ALL THE XENOBIANS . NAPROS WARNED HIM TO HAND THE ROCK WHICH COULD MAKE HIM IMMORTAL BUT OMARIN TRIED TO CONVINCE HIM ABOUT THE EVIL POWER PRESENT IN XENOME , NAPROS WAS IMPATIENT AND ADAMANT TO HAVE IT AND GAVE HIM AN ULTIMATUM TO HAND HIM THAT ROCK WITHIN 7 HOURS OTHERWISE HE WOULDN'T BE SPARED TO RULE XENOBIA . OMARIN WAS IN GRAVE TROUBLE AS HE COULDN'T FIGHT WITH HIS OWN BROTHER, THAT'S WHY HE DISPATCHED THE STONE IN THE OUTER SPACE .
Essel is still looking towards the fireball which has cooled now and is lost in his thoughts just like he is interacting with it, then suddenly Cloud intervenes and his concentration breaks. He asks Cloud the reason for acting so grumpy towards this stone, Cloud observes something new and unusual in his(Essel's) eyes .
Cloud :" I am reminding you again there's something fishy about this thing so be aware of it ."
Essel (in an adamant tone) : "You just wait and watch i'll surely conquer this thing soon . "
