Mystical Man
(1)
The Mystery
“Sammy quickly finds the information about Unicorn” I said.
Oh, friends! First, let me introduce myself as you don’t know me. I am a superhero and my name is ‘Mystical Man’. How is that name? Nice? I am going to tell you a secret. My actual name is Johnny. I got this power one month ago. Let me start the narration from the day I got that power.
We were on a school trip in a forest. While taking the picture of the forest, I found myself lost there. I saw a saint engrossed in his meditation, then I suddenly I saw a big snake beside him. I was so terrified for that man. I tried to distract the snake and change its path. However, instead it came towards me. I was shivering with fear. Then, I grabbed a stone and threw it towards the snake. The stone hit it and the big snake vanished. I was going to leave. However, suddenly the man woke up and approached me.
“You are Johnny Anderson? Right? My name is Kodo.” He said.
“How do you know me? And why are you telling this to me?” I said.
“Because you are the one who can save the world!” He said.
“What have I done?” I said.
“You saved me by stopping Destroyer.” He said. (Friends, you know, that time, my mind was totally confused).
“And who is the ‘Destroyer’?”
“The snake, he is the Destroyer.
Long ago, when Destroyer made the ‘thing of Destruction,’ a cube that has the power to control all dimensions in the universe. The gods told me, “Kodo, someone will be born in your family, one who can save the world and destroy this cube” and that is you because I sensed that energy in you.
You can save the world because when you touch that stone, I sensed that you have feeling for others. If you want, you can run away. None of my family members had that feeling, you have that feeling, you are the one to get the powers.” he said.
“So you are my great, great, blah, blah grandfather?” I said.
He nodded. Then he gave me the powers from that time. He started to teach me every magical trick. I did everything, but I was scared to fly when I flew for the first time. I was not able to control my fear and I was flying in zig-zag manner. Then, I controlled my fear and was able to fly properly. He became my master.
One day, by mistake, I had put my hand in boiling water, my complete hand was burnt. However, it healed in seconds and I felt no pain. Now, I was a superhero.
One day, when I was going to my school, I got an emblem, shaped like an eagle. I took that eagle to master Kodo and he said, “This emblem chose you. There are four emblems. First - Mystical eagle, Second - Dragon range, Third - Trippleargin and Fourth – Griffined, they were made by the gods and consist the power to destroy the whole world. They will choose a right person with the capability of controlling it. Mystical eagle is the strongest one and it came to you.”
Then he put that thing on the center of my chest and said, “Use it for the cause of humanity only.”
I nodded and he said “This is made from the metal that the gods created themselves. It is known as Oranium and this metal is your weakness, be careful.” I nodded and he went away.
After that, I created my costume. It was inside Mystical eagle and mystical eagle was my symbol. I made my mask, and my super computer named Sammy. Now, I was a complete superhero. But, there’s a twist too! Now, I’m going to tell you about that.
One day, Sammy told me that there is a terrorist attack in a primary school. I went there. I could not believe that, in my one blow, everyone was in the sky and went far away but their leader escaped and this one is the twist. From this very moment, everyone knew me and my friends made a fan club for me. But, after two or three days, a hulky man, completely colored in red and pink, with a chain belt, green shorts, yellow shoes, and yellow cap and face like unicorn, with a yellow horn, and green hairs, he was destroying everything in his way, he said, “Mystical Man, come fight with me or I will kill every one. I have come here to kill you and to take my revenge, and my name is Unicorn.”
I thought…which revenge? Then I… Ohhh! (And friends, don’t think that this is the present movement.) Then, I flew there to fight him. He threw the electric been on me. I escaped and gave him a hard punch in his face, and threw fireballs at him. He fell down from the sky and then… suddenly disappeared! I went to my lab and I told Sammy to find the information of this Unicorn. (Hey friends, now, this is the present time.)
“Sir, this Unicorn is Chase Griffin, the leader of the terrorist team you defeated. After he escaped, he met Destroyer and he gave him these powers and said, ‘Mystical Man is your target. He destroyed your team. Take revenge and help me to save this cube. It will help us to rule the whole universe.’”
“Oh so that’s how Unicorn was made.”

“Master Destroyer, you told me that I am powerful than Mystical Man. But, I lose and my head is still whirling!” Unicorn said.
“I told you that you still need practice. You were not ready. Now, I will teach you how to defeat Mystical Man.” Destroyer said.
***
Then suddenly, Master Kodo appeared. I bowed down and he said, “Johnny, I know you defeated Unicorn and Destroyer sent him only to stop you. But, he will return. And, he is more powerful than you.”
“Okay master, if he will return, I will try my best to defeat him.” I said then he went off.
I was thinking ‘Will he return?’ All Night. Next day in the school, I thought to do some mischiefs in the science class. I made a chemical that can explode… if we say 1, 2, 3 with some magic! I invited my sir to show him what I have made and my friends gathered around. I said 1, 2, 3… then it exploded! My sir’s face was completely black. Every one of us burst out laughing. Sir get very annoyed with me with this incidence and called my parents.
When my mom came, he said “Mrs. Anderson, tell your child not to do such thing again.”
“But what did Johnny do, sir, tell me and I will scold him.” my mom said.
Sir turned around and looked at me and my mom burst out laughing, even the principle. He said “He made a chemical that can explode and it exploded on me.” And he made an angry grunt.
“Say sorry Johnny!” mom said.
“Sorry sir” I said
“He will not do this again” mom said.
“Okay, Okay, you can go.” Sir said but I was thinking for more mischiefs.
Next day, sir asked me a question, how did I make that exploding chemical? I said “Sodium hydroxide and Oxygen, some Gun Powder and Match Box.” (By the way friends, this is not real ingredients. Actually, I used water and magic. Understand.) Sir tried that for one hundred times but, as you know, it didn’t work.
Then I said a lie one more time that I used a bomb that can explode in the count of 3 “So you used a bomb?” he said then I nodded.
Then every day, I did mischiefs with my powers. But, one day, master Kodo told me, “If you are using this power to do mischief, I need to take that back because you are not properly using it.”
“Sorry master Kodo, I will not do that again.” I said.
Then he said, “Unicorn will definitely return. You should be ready. Now, I am leaving.”
Then, the next day, the news came. The news reporter said “Everywhere is a massacre. Unicorn is back! Please help us Mystical Man!”
I took my mystical eagle and put that on my chest. Then my costume came out of it and I wore it and took my mask and took off to my destiny. When I arrived, I saw Unicorn destroying everything. When he saw me, he vanished in a blink of an eye. I saw destruction everywhere. Some people were killed, some injured…! Hey, then suddenly it came to my mind that I have the power to recreate or restore everything. I did that and everyone was happy with me.
Then, I went my home straight and asked Sammy, “Why did Unicorn vanish when he saw me?
“Sir, he was not Unicorn. It was a clone.” Sammy said.
“Oh! So, that’s why it vanished. But everything is Okay now and now, if Unicorn or its clone comes, I will kill them all.” I said.
***
In my family, everyone adored me. I mean, Mystical Man. My elder sister, Lisa, loved me or loved Mystical Man and my younger brother, Paul, shared my every single goodies and I was happy. Oh friends! I forgot to describe the appearance of my costume. It has blue jeans with light blue strips on it, black jacket with blue strips design on it, my Emblem on costume’s chest and my symbol on costume’s back. Jacket’s cap is so big that it reaches my nose and black half gloves.
Another thing, I know I should write this in starting but I forgot, and yeah, I know you have seen it in the previous page. Every day, I talk to Sammy and everyone says that I am mentally affected but I don’t mind it at all.
One day, Lisa asked me “Why are you talking to yourself every day? Everyone says you are mad!”
“I don’t care.” I said.
“I know you did not talk to yourself. So, tell me with whom you are talking to, every day? Tell me, tell me everything.” Lisa asked.
“If you want to listen, then listen it carefully and don’t tell anyone. Promise me.” I said.
“I swear, I will not tell anyone.” Lisa said.
“I am talking to my super computer Sammy. Sammy, say hello to my sister.” I said.
“Hello mam” Sammy said.
“How did you make him say that to me?” Lisa asked.
“Actually I am Mystical Man, the super hero. See, I have his mask, his costume, everything and my lab.” I replied.
Then I lifted Lisa’s chair in the air and said “Now you believe me?”
“Yes, I believe you that you are Mystical Man. Now put me down.” Lisa said.
I did that and she said “When did you get those powers? Tell me.”
I narrated that story again and Lisa said “You are the best brother in the whole world.”
Then I said “Remember, don’t say this to anyone.” She nodded and went to her room.

Master Kodo was meditating in the flower dimension. He opened his eyes when he heard the echo of a creek sound. He was in front of the Destroyer
"That day, when that child threw the stone at me, that time, I sensed, this child can destroy the cube and me. For that reason......”
Master Kodo interrupted him and said “I know, you have made a villain to defeat my hero. But it is evident that evil loses all the time”
“No, not this time! Because this time, evil will win.” Destroyer said and he saw Unicorn standing behind him, holding the cube.
Destroyer said “Do it!”
Then suddenly, a ray of light came from the cube towards master Kodo. That light killed him and they both vanished.
***
“Sir, there is an emergency in the flower dimension” Sammy said.
Then I opened a portal to flower dimension, I saw Master Kodo lying on flowers, “Sammy, what is the emergency situation, Master Kodo is sleeping?” I said.
“No sir, he is dead” Sammy said.
Then I checked it from my magical power's, he was unconscious. A tear dropped from my eye fell down to the Master Kodo's chest. Then, Master Kodo opened his eyes and said, “You need to destroy the cube fast and save the.....” He could not finish his words. I cried out loud, “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”. Then, his body disappeared. I was so sad, no matter what I do but I cannot bring him back to life.
***
For two to three days, I was depressed. I did nothing. I just didn’t feel like doing anything. Lisa asked me, why was I so sad? I told her about master Kodo being dead. Our great, great, great, great, blah, blah, blah grandfather.
Lisa told me, “Don’t be sad. You are Mystical Man. If you will stay depressed, you won’t be able to save others from Unicorn. Everyone in the world would be dead and will blame you. They will say, “You did not save us” and our great-grandfather too. So, don’t give up. Smile now.” I smiled and after two three days, I was sad no more.
***
Now, I should concentrate on how I can defeat Unicorn.
I kept on searching Unicorn in all the dimensions but there was no sign of him. I said to Sammy to search Unicorn but he cannot find him either. I was nervous. I thought of only one thing. Everywhere, in class, in park, in malls etc. I only searched and wondered where Unicorn is and I needed to find the other three emblems as well. I searched for the three emblems in every corner of the world.
One day, my family planned a trip to the Amazon basin. I was very excited to see my favorite animal my favorite reptile, anaconda. We went there, we enjoyed boating, also from the river, and I saw many weird animals. I asked Sammy about what kind of animals were they?
He said “Sir, these are not the animals, they are magical creatures. They are created by the old wizard and they still exist. In those creatures, there is a species that is the biggest anaconda in the universe and only one of them is left. Their name is black anaconda. They remain invisible and appear rarely. If this creature likes someone, then it will not leave him/her. It will stay forever with them and is capable of doing anything for them, but it happens rarely.”
Then Sammy gave me the information about hundreds of these types of creatures but I gave explanation of only one species. If I will write those all, I might need to make a separate book and the title could be A Guide Of The Magical Creatures!!! So, I didn’t write them all.
When we finished our boating, me and Lisa, we saw a giant Dino type Tarantula. It is one of the magical creatures. Lisa asked me what that was. I explained it to her. When I was looking for a washroom, I saw something moving in the back side of the trees, I saw a man, not a man, to be specific, a tribe person.
He said, “Shiki vaka na!” I have the power to translate any language and it means “Get out of my way.“ And then he said, “Get out of my way. I need to kill that black Anaconda.”
I said “No, don’t shoot.” But, he did. I came in his way and the dart broke down. They saw it and all went from there just like they saw a ghost. When I turned around, I saw its head; it was bigger than a small bus. Instead of eating me, it said……. Yes friends, it was talking. It said, “Thank you for saving me and I am a male black Anaconda. Thank you for protecting me.”
“But why they wanted to kill you?” I asked.
“I ate the food they baked. I eat it because I am vegetarian.” he replied.
“Oh! So, that’s the point.” I said.
“But some time, I eat non veg as well. Can you do me one big favor? Can I come with you to your home?”
I said, “Yes. I will allow that and give you a place where you will get enough food and place to stay.”
He nodded. But, how could I take him to New York. Then he said, “Sit on my back for me, the distance from the Amazon to New York is only half –n-hour.”
I sent my clone in place of me in the plane. At home, I made a four dimensional space in which he could live easily.
“Mister, from now on, your name is Bruce. Okay.” I said.
“Okay” he replied.
“Bruce, I want to tell you a secret. Actually, I am M……….” before I could finish my words, he interrupted me and said “I know that you are Mystical Man.”
“How do you know?” I asked.
“When the dart was broken, that time, I found out that you are a wizard because only a wizard can stop their dart.” He said.
“Okay now, I came to know. Hmm.” I replied.
Afterwards me and Bruce became good friends and I loved him.
***
“Master Destroyer, first we need to defeat Mystical Man and then we will find the emblems.” Said Unicorn.
“No first the emblems and then we will easily defeat him.” Destroyer said.
“If we will defeat Mystical Man, we will get the most powerful emblem.” Said Unicorn and went from the Evil Dimension.
***
When I was in the barber’s shop to cut my hairs, On T.V., I saw the news that Unicorn has returned and was destroying everything. I asked the barber, “Uncle, is the haircut done?”
“Yes.” He said.
Then, I got up from the chair and I was going to leave the shop when Uncle stopped me and said, “Son, something fell down from your pocket.”
When I turned back, I saw that Mystical eagle was on the ground. I was going to pick it up when he said, “This is the symbol of Mystical Man, right?”
“Yeah! I am a fan of Mystical Man.” I said and went from there to a lonesome place where I could change my costume. Also I called up Bruce to help me. We both went there. Everyone was more scared from Bruce than Unicorn. I changed everybody’s mind with my magic. But, there was a surprise for me. I saw more super villains and then Unicorn said, “Got surprised? Mystical ma…... No Mystical fool! They are my team mates and I gave them powers. Understand? And who is this black colored Rattlesnake?”
“Hey, you are nobody to say such things to me!” Bruce said in an angry voice.
Then Unicorn said, “Oh! Baby got an….” Before he could finish, I shot him with a fire ball. He got angry and said only one word, “Attack.” All his team mates came to get me, but Bruce stopped them and told them, “Go, defeat Unicorn. I will stop them.”
But I ignored him and helped him. I threw one of them in the sky. I let him fall down towards Bruce and he understands exactly what I wanted to do. He catches him by his mouth and cut him into half and ate the rest of them and made a loud burp! Then, I went for Unicorn and gave a hard punch on his face. He got angry and threw fire balls at me. I defended them. I gave him another punch and he went up in the sky. I too approached and threw electric beam on him. I caught him by his neck. He was trying to set himself free but I took him towards a building‘s wall and covered him by large pieces of the building but he escaped.
“Mysti.…..”, Before he could finish, Bruce caught him with his mouth and threw him up high in the sky. I tried to cut him in pieces with the electrical ray but Unicorn didn’t get any scratch. He threw a large stone on me but it didn’t hurt me. Then, he threw a knife made of Oranium. (Friends, Oranium is the only metal made by the gods and also it is the only metal that can hurt me.)
The knife made a hole in the center of my heart. I felt weak and then Unicorn said, “You are going to die, little baby.” And, he threw a large rock towards me but Bruce came in between and his head was under it. A drop of tear came running down from my eye. I was so angry. I took the knife out from my body. The hole healed in seconds and I caught Unicorn with his neck and gave punches on his face. I said, “You killed Master Kodo and now you killed Bruce too. Now it is your turn.”
And I took him into the space. I carried him towards the sun and took him inside it and locked him there. I stepped away from there and threw a fire ball at him. And then… a big explosion! I went down to the Earth and took the rock from Bruce’s head. I was going to heal him, but he said, “No, don’t heal me. One day or another, I was going to be dead. Let it be today. You are the best man I have ever met. The one, who thinks good for others. One day, we will meet again. Bye-bye, Johnny.” And he closed his eyes.
I felt miserable but I must protect the humanity. I recreated everything. Bruce and his body were gone. Then,, a reporter asked to me, “Unicorn is more powerful than you, you defeated him?”
“I always believe that ‘Humanity is greater than Evilness.” I said.
***
Every day, I hear a word of praise for me. I mean, Mystical Man. My best friend, Harley Anderson, always talks about Mystical Man. I loved it. Then one day, Master Kodo appeared in front of me. His body was translucent.
I was surprised and he said, “You killed Unicorn and saved everyone in the world. I am not a ghost. I am a spirit and you need to find the last three emblems.” I nodded and he vanished.
***
Harley was cycling. He saw something lying on the road. He went there and took it in his hands and that thing approached his chest automatically. He started to fly and two swords came out from his hands. He was going to scream, but he felt no pain.
He said to himself, “So now, I am a superhero too?”
The End
