It was an extremely large hall. The size of the furniture was at least 10 times that of a normal human being. Mutant guards were scattered around the place, looking for any discrepancy in security. Fully airconditioned and dimly lit, this actually had the makings of a very romantic restaurant (minus the mutants)!
But there was something at the end of the hall that put paid to all that. A large throne-like sofa, and an even larger mutant. But was it just a mutant? It was at least 10 feet in length, probably weighed 500 tons quite easily (wonder how the sofa withstood that!) and had TEN HEADS.
TEN HEADS. No mistake. THIS WAS RAVANA.
Closer inspection made it clear that the sofa was pure titanium. And he was sitting on the sofa, licking his fingers and yo-yoing with a human head.
HE WAS YO-YOING WITH A HUMAN HEAD, and in deep thought.
"Ahmmmm... diabetic humans are tasty. They're going to die in any case, so I helped this one out by eating him up. Fortunately we guys don't get diabetes. But I crave, I yearn for man-birds. I eaten one just once, and that was eons ago, when I was a little kid. I need their hearts, it's so tender and filling."
Grotesque, but Ravana had all the best qualities otherwise- super-strength, paranormal powers, intelligence only matched by Jatayu, a monstorous appetite for knowledge. But... he unfortunately chose the side of evil. Head of all criminal operations in the entire universe, he headed a group known as THE MUTANT AVENGERS, created for the purpose of expulsion of all beings apart from mutants. If good mutants came in his way, he would do away with them as well!
"Ah sir, as you know the defence network of the bird mutants is quite strong. We need to break that network down to accomplish our mission. Then you can have all the man-birds you want, sire, and..."
"... to break this network we must find of a way to get Jatayu out of the way." Ravana completed the sentence. "But how? He is immortal isn't he??" asked agent XX1.
Ravana gave one of his wicked smiles. "Who said immortal means unbeatable?"
XX1 smiled too. He was the opposite number, the counterpart of agent 001. They hadn't met in physical combat yet, but as XX1 was a mutant, far stronger than 001, he desperately wanted to have a showdown himself. But now his mind was on Jatayu.
"But sire, we can't kill that fellow! And he can rejuvenate! What else..."
"... we have with us his biggest weakness!" roared Ravana, as he pointed towards the giant 3-D screen.

A dim, dank, dark dungeon. The lights were turned on.
A pitiful sight: tortured, injured man-bird... WITH ONLY ONE WING. He was breathing, but only just. It was as if the life had been sucked out of him. But he was mumbling something, "Wait... wait... Jatayu... he will come... huh-uh... w-w-w-w-ait..."
Suddenly agent XX14 entered the room. "Bad news sire. Agent XX7 has failed in his viral attack mission. Jatayu killed him and he's on his way here!"
The man-bird of the dungeon seemed visibly happy at this development. Strangely enough, so did Ravana.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" He roared with his evil laughter. "Agent XX7 was just a plant my dear friend. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Now Jatayu... let me see whether you've improved from the past... we shall combat again!"
Meanwhile, as Jatayu soared towards the land of Lanka, he heard a familiar voice in his head:
"Jatayu... it's a trap... I'm alive... but don't come here... please... go back... g-g-g-oo... "
The voice faded away, but Jatayu froze in his tracks.
Could it BE???? But how???
How was it possible after all these years??
He did not heed the voice. He continued his onward surge to Lanka - with renewed vigour and confidence.
Little did he realise the peril that lay ahead...
TO BE CONTINUED...
