The Commencement of a Divine War

(City S, midnight 12)

A  gang surrounds a woman and a child who beg for their lives. All of a sudden, a man armed with an axe enters the room. He attacks the gang members and kills them all. He turns to the mother-son duo and waves his hand . They fall unconscious.

(Some hours earlier, Kanaya's clinic, City S)

A girl runs towards the clinic door in heavy rain. She opens the door and goes inside the doctor's cabin. She then addresses the doctor and asks, "Kanaya-san , did you search the details of the new guy I sent you a day before?"

Kanaya replies, "Yes and I already told you about him, Sae Hyun . He is ok. He was a former patient of mine. As long as you don't get on his nerves , you will be fine. Rudra is a good guy." Sae Hyun says , "For some reason, I am having troubles trusting a guy named after the Vedic God of Storms and the fiercest form of the Eternal Destroyer in Hinduism."

Kanaya sighs and says, "It's fine. It's completely normal to trust him." Sae Hyun says , "Okay, then. There are many other people needing psychological help. Those gangs have destroyed the concept of mental health in this city. Wish I had the power to do a penance like those epics and ask Lord Shiva to end these evil."

Kanaya says, "Fine I will help. And if your wish is pure, the God you worship will fulfill it."

(The next morning, Hyun's residence, City S)

A woman enters Sae Hyun's room and says, "Sae , wake the fuck up. It's dawn already. Also, watch the news."

Sae asks sleepily , "what's it ,JI-unnie? Another group of bullies beating someone up or worse killing or..."

The woman replies , "No , someone just massacred a gang . A literal gang. One guy. No one survives. The bodies were found on ceiling fans."

Sae gets flabbergasted . She shouts \, "What the actual f***!!! Ms Jeong Ji Hyun \, do you have any idea what you are talking about? I know you are the elder of us \, but that doesn't mean I would listen to any bullshit you say."

Ji grabs Sae's arms and shakes her vigorously. "This is the truth, " she says.

Shocked and puzzled, Sae moves towards the front room and watches the news. The T.V blares

"The Dangerous T Gang found massacred in their party home. A mother and son duo were found unconscious near the bodies"

Sae looks at her elder sister and says , "There's no mention of a single guy massacring them."

Ji points towards a headline. The headline reads , "Witnesses say they saw a guy leaving the house with something heavy."

Sae says , "I don't believe this yet but there's a possibility." Ji says , "A lot of weird things happening in the city."

Sae says ,"Yeah. It's just prophetic. Like this place was the peak of Evil and the outburst started. It's just the time for a hero to arrive."

Ji Hyun says ,"Stop quote those myths and call the group to inform about Rudra.He is gonna arrive tomorrow early morning."

Sae says ,"Those are the history of country B . And yes I am gonna call Minsu.

Sae picks up her phone and calls Minsu. Minsu answers from the other side.

Sae says , "Yo Minsu ,how are ya mate?"

Minsu answers in a low voice , "I am fine , Sae . Tell me what happened."

Sae says ,"Lighten up , you depressed slug . A new guy is coming to join us in our project or mission.  I am organizing a meeting at your cafe today evening and also one tomorrow after the guy arrives. We talk about our responsibilities now that a new guy is joining. So can we getting a reservation?"

Minsu replies ," This is your cafe girl. You guys don't need any reservations. Also I would be glad if you guys are around. Gina is celebrating Jihyuk's birthday in my cafe , which is tomorrow . She's gonna come to talk about it today."

Sae replies ,"So this is what makes you sad huh? Fine. Thanks mate. See you in the evening."

Minsu says , "Yeah sure. bye."

Sae says ,"Bye." She ends the call.

Evening , Minsu's cafe.

All of the friends gather around in the cafe. Minsu orders coffee for all of them and joins them.

Sae says , "Good Evening , friends. Thanks for coming on such a short notice. As all of us know , we have a new guy joining us. So we have to shift our responsibilities."

A black haired woman says , "The one who's joining is named Rudra. He is a good friend of my elder brother , Raiden"

Sae says , "Thanks for your input , Miyuki. Wait .. your sister said that he is a former patient....."

Miyuki replies ,"Yes ....he is a former patient and also my brother's friend. My entire kin knows him."

Ji says , "Your sister told me that Rudra is just like you. Has anger management issues. Is laid back untill pissed off and yes lacks sleep."

Lia says ,"Is he cute enough? Then we can ship him and Miyuki."

Miyuki frowns and shouts \, "Shut the f*** up."

Sae says , "I didn't get his pictures yet. I will soon tell you."

Marcus says ," Drop this shit. Just tell us what his job will be."

Sae says \, "According to the intel I have \, he is strong as f*** and has temper issues. We can make him a discipline guy."

Marcus says , "Thats cool. Where's Arjun by the way?"

Sae says ," He has gone back to his home country for some work. "

Minsu says , "We can have another meeting tomorrow evening . After his arrival. And yes before Jihyuk's birthday party."

Miyuki asks ,"Yeah about that, Sae told me that that bitch was coming to talk. Where's she?"

Minsu says ,"Don't call her the b word. Yes she came and reserved some table and insulted me and my profession."

Miyuki growls in anger and says, "Someday, I am gonna bash that bitch's head in"

Sae says , "Aight calm down. We all know Jihyuk is well off and always troubles people around."

Ji corrects Sae , "Everyone except Miyuki. She's more well off than him." Lia says , "Miyu flex"

Miyuki rolls her eyes and disregards Lia. She notices Ji A sitting quiet and nudges her cousin Ryu. Ryu asks Ji A ,"Is everything alright girl?"

Ji A says , "Yeah it's fine. Was just talking to my cousin ,Jihoo. Apparently he's working on that case . The Gang massacre one."

Sae asks , "So what has he found out?" Ji A says , "Ummm..it's quite confusing."

(Detective's office, City S PD)

A lady officer interrogates the mother. She says, "OH COME ON!!!, give me something. Something I can use." The mother answers in a terrified voice, "My name...is.. Park Yoonji. I was threatened by the T gang who kidnapped my son, Park Ji Sung. I remember a guy attacking the gang. After that , I don't remember anything. Even the details of the guy are hazy in my memory."

The officer hits her palm on her forehead and sighs. Another officer pats her shoulder and says, "Snow, calm down. Patience is the key to crack any case."

Officer Snow replies, "Yes, Jiho. I get it." The kid says, "There's a link between the house and the shopping mall nearby."

Jiho says, "Say what?"

(Next day , Early morning , City B airport.)

Sae Hyun arrives at the airport and joins the waiting line. "It would be better if the flight isn't delayed ," she mutters to herself.

It starts raining. "oh great. I pray this isn't the case when I come out , "she mutters.

Her anticipated flight name is announced in arrivals.
