Two gates

Redbull presents

“TWO GATES”

When Bunty gained his consciousness the picture in front of him wasn’t much different. People were still laughing at him, though the people around him this time were strangers and the atmosphere was a lot divine that the last time. There was a guy with big thin glasses and a big feather pen. Then there was a really old guy with three faces and he was laughing out loud by all three mouths he got. Then there were two security personal type men holding some kind of useless ancient weapons in hand. And they all were wearing golden crowns and lots of jewelry and rich clothes. They seem to be from rich family or maybe some eventually rich robbers. There was a huge desk with an enormous book on it. Behind that there were two huge gates, one golden and other metal.

Bunty is feeling a lot lighter now. With almost no effort he sat on the soft carpet. He was still confused and very agitated, everybody was laughing at him. His annoyance almost tasted its limits. He stood up, he was still confused about the location, “ok, shut up now!” he yelled, “Where am I, is it some kind of hospital?” As an answer to his question the laughter even increased. After one more wave of laughter the man with the big specs said, “You are dead, this is the infamous ‘two gates’ of heaven and hell” “What?” Bunty exclaimed, “Why? I mean just like that? Are you mad? Who are you people?” The three faced man spoke, “You don’t know me?”, his voice was sounding very tired and experienced, and also a little ill, “I am the Brahma, The Brahma” due to speaking through three mouths his voice was resounding in the environment. “The creator of this srishti, and he, he is Chandrgupt, my clerk, he writes everyone’s destiny and keeps the account of everyone’s paap and punya

“Ok” Bunty said, “You look a lot weird and scary than your depiction in our TV serials, The actors look at least looks a lot calm and trustworthy, though they act very quirky in that jewelry. Alright forget that, tell me why am I dead? They say you keep account of deeds of our human and then decide whom to die or for that matter whom to kill from here, eh?”

“Yeah, you are right”, Chandragupt said handing Bunty a piece of sweet, “Take this, the best sweet in all the three worlds, best in the whole universe” “What for?” Bunty asked. “Well, I am giving this treat” Chandragupt said giving The Brahma a piece of sweet. “Ho…ho…ho…”Laughed the Brahma in appreciation, “have it son, he has won a contest organized in the hell and heaven” ‘Brahma laugh like Santa’ Bunty thought. “well which contest” “as the result of which contest you came here”, explained Chandragupt, “We were getting a little bored keeping the regular account, You humans are too judgmental and very predictable, for past few years apart from the newly created disease you people weren’t dying by any new reasons. The regular diseases, accidents and old age, still you can’t find answers to some diseases like AIDS, we were expecting you humans will find answer to these diseases very early, by the way AIDS was also a winner of similar contest.” Bunty was getting more and more confused and this Chandragupt guy was getting on his nerves. “So to overcome this boredom”, Chandragupt continued, “his highness Mr. the Brahma organized this contest, ‘the funniest death’, everybody participated from these two worlds in it. You have to take into account the background of the particular subject and then prove that such death can occur to that subject, and mind you it has to be funny. I won the contest and you are my prize!” Chandragupt concluded with pride.

Bunty was furious hearing this. “What? You killed me just for fun, just to laugh on my death?” he screamed “I am just a ‘subject’ for you people? The funniest death, eh. You assholes, scoundrels, and you are ruling us…you can’t imagine how much do I hate you?” “Whoa! Watch your language son”, The Brahma snapped back, “but you know I’m in a humorous mood now, and technically using foul language can’t harm you now. Because after death, after your spirit has left your body on Earth till you enter one of these gates, the deeds you have done will not be counted in any of the books!” “Shut up you three faced moron” Bunty was furious, “don’t teach me what to do and not. And you Chandragupt, I’m your prize, eh? Bloody rascal, you are fortunate that, I don’t know much of foul words.” The Brahma and Chandragupta look at each other confusingly, and start laughing at Bunty’s this demonstration of fury. Hearing all these noise people from heaven and hell also gather at the gates. Bunty is looking at all these dead souls, and reaches the desk of Chandragupt, “So this is your famous book of accounts, eh” Bunty clings his palm on the edge of the desk, he remembers Chandragupt’s explanation of his death, and “You think you are funny, eh? You think you deserve this job?” saying this he grabs the desk and throws it in the air. The desk goes up at height even Bunty haven’t expected, and comes down. Bunty is amazed at the demonstration of his powers, “How?” he asks The Brahma unknowingly. “Well”, The Brahma starts to explain, “As I told you your deed in this buffer period is not counted, similarly you are not abiding by any physical rules in this period. You are what you think you are. You can do anything in this period. Actually I shouldn’t tell you this in this mental condition, but you know, by default we can not tell lies!”

Now, Bunty has a wicked smile on his face. Chandragupt realizes what going on his mind; he is good at his job. Bunty moves towards the fallen desk to test his powers again. He grabs the table in one hand and whirls it up in the air, it goes up and up. “You want fun, eh? You got it!” he picks up the huge book of accounts, Chandragupt runs to save his work, Bunty turns and kicks Chandragupt in stomach, he flies and crashes on the compound of hell. The people of hell gets delighted, they started cheering Bunty up. Bunty tears the book apart. He picks up the pen and moves towards the Brahma. He sprays the ink on the Brahma’s all three faces. “You want fun Brahma boy, eh?” he grabs his feet and whirls him in the direction of hell, Brahma crosses the compound wall in air and lands in the hell where the hell boys were waiting for him, and you don’t want to know what happened next. Bunty then uses the pen on Chandragupt at the oddest of place. Then he moves towards the heaven doors. The two security guards were not much of the tension. Surprisingly the heaven was also cheering him up, they were too straight people they just want to save their skins and they have earned all their punyas by worshipping the powerful. He breaks the heaven gate, and then hell gates. Everybody was happy at his enormous powers.

Now he has two worlds and the book and pen of Chandragupt to decide the fate of the third world. He moves with his army towards the EARTH!!!

First Page, First Graphic Novel/comic book

The sketching, screeching, leching and fetching begins! It's my first attempt in a comic book/graphic novel (I'm so amateur that i don't even know, what to call this!)

I am planning to publish one page daily, or 7 pages a week..let's see if I keep my words (for the first time!) This book will have many superheroes, many countrys, many villains, and lots of world politics, and ofcourse ALIENS!!
Let's see how it goes!
give me reviews about the style, and suggest me the name.
