Scene: The battle of Haldighati.
Far from the chaos of the battlefield, he leaned lazily against a
tree, his rifle resting idly at his side. The year was 1576, and the Battle of Haldighati was raging
before him—war elephants charging, dust rising, steel flashing in the sun. A covert agent from
the future, was officially assigned to guard duty, though his half-lidded eyes and slouched
posture told another story. He watched the clash with casual detachment, as if it were nothing
more than an old film playing out in real time.
???: it's boring, watching all these warriors fight and I can't join it.
[Just what he finished his sentance. A whistle cut through the air. Without opening his eyes, he
sidestepped, and the arrow thudded into the tree behind him.]
???: An arrow, let me borrow it for a moment
[He loads the arrow is his rifle and nockes it, as he adjusting the aim so it would skim past
Maharana Pratap’s head and strike dead center on Man Singh I’s forehead.]
???: Locked and loaded, aim and fire
[The arrow sliced the air, grazing Maharana Pratap’s turban before sinking into the center of
Man Singh I’s forehead. Gasps erupted, and the cheers went to Pratap alone.]
???: The battle is over, this means my guard duty is over to.(sighed) Finnally the most boring
work is over. David Jones to HQ, mission complete, open a portal for my return
[At CPU headquarters, in the vice captain’s office, a comms officer relayed the update. The vice
captain leaned back in her chair as the message came through: David Jones had completed his
mission and was on his way back through the space-time portal.]
Vice captain: about time time send him to me as soon as he returns
[David Jones stepped through the swirling space-time portal, the colors folding in on themselves
before vanishing behind him. He adjusted his jacket, looking as if he’d only taken a short walk
instead of crossing centuries.]
David Jones: There is nothing like the CPU headquarters in the whole multiverse
Officer: ah–sir vise captain wants to meet you in her office
David Jones: If that's the case then I better hurry.
[At vise captain's office]
David Jones: Anya, it's a surprise that you want to meet me as soon as I got here. Tell is it
because you want to go on a date with me.
Anya: It's because I want the full details of what happened there
David Jones: well, I completed the mission in my style. Isn't that enough.
Anya: If it would be enough then I wouldn't be fighting a mountain of paper work while managing
the whole squadron.
David Jones: Fine, I secretly helped Maharana Pratap by shooting a arrow that had comed to
kill me, I set it trajectory in a way that it will look like he had fired it.
Anya: So, in short you intervined so your guard duty would end before it suppose to be
David Jones: In a way you can say that. Anyways I will be in the garden if you need me or—
Anya:—just go already.
Scene: CPU garden area. sunlight filtered through glass panels onto neatly trimmed hedges and
rows of bright flowers. The air was calm, broken only by the hum of distant machinery.
Somewhere beyond the fountain
David Jones: my sweet little garden how I miss you.
[The gardener spotted Jones and made his way over, wiping his hands on a cloth.]
Gardener: haven't seen you in a while, sir.
[The gardener a wiry man in his late fifties, with sun-browned skin, a weathered face, and a
neatly kept gray mustache. His overalls were worn but clean, and the scent of fresh earth clung
to him.]
David Jones: Mr. Gardener, well I was on a mission, a boring one.
Gardener: I see, but you better see your friend. He is on a rampage since yesterday
David Jones: I didn't think that he would go on a rampage if I am not here.
Gardener: well, he is doing it right now and reach us very
[A sudden roar shattered the garden’s calm. From between the hedges burst an elephant, eyes
wild and tusks swinging. It charged straight at them, scattering petals and snapping branches,
its focus locked on Jones.]
Gardener: there he is.
David Jones: I don't think that is friend
Gardener: Still it's going to attack you.
David Jones: wouldn't even be a challenge, tis one is just a normal elephant. My friend is twice
of his size.
[The elephant lunged, but Jones didn’t flinch. With a single, precise strike, he dropped the beast
to the ground. The garden fell silent, save for the rustle of leaves settling back into place.]
Gardener: well, that was easy for you but now the question is where is your friend.
David Jones: Just wait here for a minute and he will come
[From the far end of the garden, a second elephant appeared—towering nearly twice the size of
the first. Its eyes were calm, and its massive head dipped in greeting. Jones smiled faintly.]
David Jones: this one here is my friend.
Gardener: So, it seems you recognise them better me.
[From behind the massive male elephant, a female emerged, her gait slow and steady. She
moved to stand beside him, her trunk brushing gently against his side.]
David Jones: So it seems my friend has a girlfriend now
Gardener: No, she is more like a wife and the one you beat down is their son.
David Jones: That's how it, hey Gardener give baby elephant a message that he should mess
with uncle Jones.
Gardener: And where are you go?
David Jones: no where, Just on a walk around the garden.
[Jones’ phone buzzed in his pocket, its sharp tone cutting through the quiet of the garden. He
glanced at the screen before answering.]
David Jones: David Jones here, what the matter
???: Do you remember what today is or forget like last time.
David Jones: Just remembered, today there will be rookies joining the squadrons
???: Yep, and there is a strong one among them and he refused the offer to join my squadron.
David Jones: The reason is simple no one wants to join your squad and cause you take only
solo mission for your squadron.
???: that why my squadron members are so strong
David Jones: And super slow. Now jokes aside how much marks would you give him out of 100
???: 98
David Jones: 98? That's low because I have a rating of 1000 out of 100
???: Yeah it's negative 1000 out of positive 100
[???, he quickly hung up the call]
David Jones: coward he can't even look me in the eyes and as for the rookies I better set traps
and a objective board
--------------to be continue--------------
Scene: CPU headquarters garden, after some time
Rookie 1: So, this is the place where we have to find captain
Rookie 2: well, that’s what we were told. But I am still unsure
Rookie 3: Hey guys, there is objective board right.
[Rookies approached objective board in the garden. In bold letters, it read: If you want to join my
squadron, find me here—and defeat me. You have 36 hours.]
Rookie 1: That confirms our objective.
Rookie 2: It says we have to defeat him and none of us are power enough to even support him
in a battle.
Rookie 3: So, only way remain is team work. First we have to find him, anyone with some
tracker……no one, hey ninja care for team work
[The bush rustled. The ninja flicked his wrist, sending a kunai slicing through the leaves. It tore
past the branches and struck the earth with a sharp crack, leaving a small crater. The spot was
empty, around him everyone froze, holding their breath.]
Ninja: Sorry, but I always work alone.
[the ninja dropped a small sphere at his feet. It burst open with a hiss, flooding the area with
thick, choking smoke. Shapes blurred, shadows danced. When the haze finally thinned, the
ground where he had stood was empty.]
David Jones(observing everything from above, thinking): What a trouble some rookie ninja
[Rookies are still stunned because of his actions]
Rookie 4: arrogant bastard
Rookie 3: So, how are we going to find him, since we have lost the only tracker we have.
Rookie 5: Surely someone here has a plan… anyone?
Nerd: well, I have a one, care to listen.
Rookie 4: No one wants to hear you Nerd
Rookie 5: I am listening
Rookie 3: me to.
Nerd: So, first we have to find, according to my information Mr. Jones always carry a watch
which is linked to the CPU network all the time.
Rookie 1: Can you explain how is this gonna help us.
Nerd: I can track that watch and since it is connected to the network all the time we will have a
pinpoint location of him all the time…………found him currently he is going in west from here
Rookie 1: You found him but do you have plan to defeat him.
Rookie 5: Don't worry about it, I created one while listen carefully everyone I need all of you for
the successful execution of this plan. Now here's the plan
[To David Jones, he sat inside a hollow, tree-like structure, its rough bark exterior hiding a
compact control room within. Multiple screens flickered before him, streaming live feeds from
cameras placed around the garden.]
David Jones: Cooking up a plan, it would be no good, I don't even need to listen to it to defeat
them.
[A shadow flickered across the garden. The ninja struck, shattering the tree-like structure in a
single blow. Splintered wood erupted, and the impact sparked a blaze that leapt hungrily into the
surrounding greenery. Flames curled upward, swallowing smoke and heat, until the whole
garden felt like an inferno.
From within the burning wreckage, David Jones stepped out, brushing soot from his jacket, his
pace calm as if strolling through a park. A moment later, sprinklers hidden in the ground and
ceiling hissed to life, drenching the flames and smothering the fire.]
Ninja: Didn't show it coming did you.
David Jones: It was so weak that I didn't need to and for information don't destroy this garden
with you explosives.
Ninja: If I do that will I become the enemy of the David Jones.
David Jones: worse.
[Steel flashed and shadows twisted as the battle erupted. The ninja moved with deadly speed,
each strike sharp and confident, certain the fight was his. Jones met every blow with unhurried
precision, reading each move before it came. The rhythm shifted, the ninja’s confidence fraying,
until one clean counter ended it. The garden fell quiet—David Jones had won.]
David Jones: Try in another century ninja boy.
Ninja: I AM not ninja boy, I have a name and it's BAKURYU.
David Jones: Names are worthless noise until you’ve earned the right to be remembered.
Bakuryu: Then remember remember this I am Bakuryu and I will shatter that title, grind your
false pride into dust, and leave nothing of it to remember
[Jones turned without a word, his footsteps fading into the damp garden as he made his cold
exit. Moments later, a group of rookies arrived and found the ninja, battered and barely
conscious. They moved quickly, pitching a small camp on the spot to tend to his wounds.]
Rookie 1: Is anyone of us is a doctor or atleast know the first aid
Rookie 3: I am, now step aside and no coming inside the tent.
[A doctor(rookie 3)slipped into the camp, carrying a worn leather kit. Inside, murmured
instructions and the rustle of bandages filled the air. After a while, he emerged, his hands
stained with antiseptic.]
Rookie 1: is his condition stable?
Doctor: yeah, his condition is stable. Now getting late, anyone with cooking skills.
Rookie 2: You're asking it now, I already took care of food.
Doctor: but I didn't get anything.
Rookie 2: OH! You were inside right that's why, here you your share. You can sit beside him.
Doctor: that clocked guy.
Rookie 2: Yeah, he comes following the smell of food, saying he hadn't eaten anything in 2 two
days.
Doctor: for some reasons he seems suspicious, I just eat my food here.
Rookie 2: suit yourself.
Clocked guy: hey chef can I get seconds.
Rookie 2: Sure.
Clocked guy: thanks for the food it was delicious, now I have to go.
Rookie 1: Already, can't you stay tell us some stories of your CPU field agent day.
Clocked guy: Some other time, ok.
Rookie 1: promise.
[He rose to his feet, pulled his cloak tighter, and slipped away into the night without a word.]
Rookie 5: Back to our plan, does everyone know their part.
Rookie 4: Yeah, I know I making explosives but there are exploding before triggering, I can fix it
by tommorow.
Rookie 1: I remember it.
Nerd: there is a problem guys, I can't get a lock on Mr. Jones' location
Rookie 5: And why is that happening, you got a lock earlier.
Nerd: I think it because of his AI assistant Tork.
Rookie 5: So what you're a hacker, hack it.
Nerd: It's the most advance AI in whole CPU.
Rookie 5: So what, you have one for your self right, just use it and track him.
Nerd: CPU has the most advance technology in the whole multiverse. It means that Tork is the
most advance AI to be created.
[Deep in the forest, clocked guy stopped beneath the trees. He loosened the clasp at his neck
and slipped off the cloak, letting it fall silently over his arm as the moonlight revealed his face.
He was None other than David Jones]
David Jones: Hey Tork, you up yet.
Tork: Yep, fully recharged, at your service.
David Jones: I want full information about that rookie ninja, put the rookies under observation
and run the diagnosis of whole system.
Tork: Sure sir, just give me a moment………to access the information related to that ninja your
office computer with your biomatrics are required as for the rookies, they rescued the ninja and
currently preparing to sleep, now for the diagnostic you commanded I found that your watch has
been hacked twice today.
David Jones: Someone hacked my watch twice and you didn't do anything.
Tork: I did, first time gave them false location and second time stopped him.
David Jones: Good, now send the baby elephant to the rookies and make sure he is on a
rampage.
Tork: So, it seems you changed the objective of this test.
David Jones: Just do your work.
Tork: that was already done.
David Jones: You're so annoying sometimes.
Tork: I can also be romantic sometimes.
David Jones: No need.
[Back at the camp, the ground trembled with heavy steps. Out of the darkness loomed a
massive elephant, towering nearly five meters tall. With a furious trumpet, it charged, scattering
the rookies as panic tore through their ranks.]
Rookie 1: from which planet did this elephant come, it's massive.
Nerd: I heard some news about Mr. Jones keeping some elephant as pets but I didn't believe it.
Rookie 5: In case of David Jones you have to believe everything is possible.
Doctor: We have to run, now.
Rookie 2: but if we scatter now we won't be able to defeat him.
Rookie 4: just let me try these explosives, first.
[One of the rookies, desperate, hurled an explosive at the raging beast. Just before it could
reach the elephant, David Jones appeared, his hand snapping out. With a precise deflection, he
sent the explosive arcing harmlessly into the sky, where it burst in a flash above them.]
David Jones: Don't you dare hurt my best friend's son
[After the blast faded, Jones moved among the rookies with quiet speed. In a blur, he tapped
each of them with a marker, leaving faint signs on their vital points—chest, throat,
temple—reminders of how easily he could have ended the fight.]
David Jones: those of you who moved a little before before I marked them can stay.
Rookie 5: Ah– sir nobody reacted to that except the Ninja but we want to join your squadron and
only your.
David Jones: So, there are post empty but these are not related to mission of anything.
All rookies: we will accept them.
David Jones: That's how it is then from now on you all are part of my squadron tommorow you
in the morning you all will be notified about your post by Tork, untill them take a tour around
CPU headquarters. Dismiss.
