Early next morning. Taro slowly opened his eyes. He was in an unfamiliar room. He tried to rember what happened last night, however, he couldn't rember even a single fra of it. And whenever he ended up in such a state, it always ant that he was in deep shit. He hoped that's not the case as he slowly got up. "The fuck happened?" He asked as he looked around. It was a hectic event. His eyes weren't in a shape to register all the events happening around.
"Oh, you're awake! Do you rember what happened yesterday?" Soone asked. It took him a bit of ti to recalibrate his focus towards the person. It was Kunjan.
"I don't know! My mory is a bit hazy." Taro decided to tell the truth, since he had no idea on what was happening. However, Kunjan didn't look so. He had it under control.
"Understandable. It's supposed to have a recoil after all." Kunjan nodded at himself before he checked Taro's body.
"What do you an?" Taro asked, however, before he could get an answer, he saw Kunjan's focus lingering towards soone else.
"Man! Why does my body ache?" Thankappan wondered as he stretched out his shoulders.
"Ah, Thankappan! Well, that's because of all the wriggling you did." Kunjan replied.
"Wriggling?" Thankappan didn't get it. He forgot everything since that one shot of vodka.
"Another one with the amnesia. Let's see what happened with the third one." Kunjan sighed before he left Thankappan behind and headed towards Gibli. "Gibli, wake up!" He slightly nudged his shoulder to see what would happen.
However, Gibli was in deep sleep, reliving one of the bitter monts in his life. "No, I don't wanna leave Ark. I don't wanna leave you guys!" He moaned.
"Seems like he's having a very emotional farewell. Let's ruin it." Kunjan looked sadistic as he repeatedly punched Gibli.
"Ouch! Why'd you do that?" Gibli cried as he dragged himself away from Kunjan.
"Obviously to wake you up. Now tell , what happened yesterday?" Kunjan got straight to the point.
Gibli looked around for a mont and sighed. "Ah, we ate the cookie and ended up here, didn't we? I knew it was so kinda drug." He proclaid as if he made a new discovery.
"No shit, Sherlock. By the way, you missed the adventure in between." Kunjan replied.
"What do you an?" Gibli was curious about this.
"The adventure of the police officers chasing us and throwing us into this cell." Kunjan answered.
"And here I thought that I'm the one with the entire recollection of that event." Gibli sighed as he saw the plankton superiority that he had heard rumors about. It was once said that even though planktons were small, they emitted imnse pressure, since they were simply best at everything. Today, he got a glimpse of it.
anwhile, Thankappan had sothing to get off his chest. "Wait, why do you even rember yesterday? We supposedly consud hallucinogen and went bat shit insane. However, both of you are fineat least Kunjan is. And you can rember for the most part too. Why is it?" He asked.
"Well, I'm an Arkian. We do have our strong foundations which would delay the effect of any drug that enters our system." Gibli explained his side.
"No wonder your dical field looks like it's the worst in the entire galaxian civilization." Kunjan shared his thoughts.
This ti, Gibli agreed with this assessnt. "Exactly! They ain't actually weak. Like, if you consider pure skill, they surpass every other doctor in this entire universe, since they're able to cure the Arkians of their ailnts even with a delay." He explained before turning towards Kunjan. "That said, I don't know why it didn't affect the plankton." He replied.
"What is it, Plankton? What did you do?" Thankappan and Taro was curious as well.
"Heh, I guess you could say that I endured it. Rather, it didn't affect a bit." Kunjan gave out a grin.
"That's crystal clear. I asked you for the reason." Thankappan replied, not impressed with Kunjan's smug face.
"Look. Just as Gibli talked about his Arkian heredity helping him, being a mber of plankton civilization helped too." Kunjan gave out his explanation.
"Shoot, genetics again!" Thankappan sighed. If it was sothing that he developed through thorough practice, he could've make use of that technique. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case.
"Hell no. Being a mber of plankton civilization, the sa civilization that conducts covert operations for anonymous personalities, we have to go through harsh training so that we won't spill out confidential info or jeopardize the anonymity of our employee. Therefore, I had to go through a multitude of hallucinogens and torture back then, so ten or hundred tis stronger than this shit. So, I developed tolerance." Kunjan shrugged it off as if it was nothing. anwhile, the others had a hard ti processing what they just heard.
"Man, that's dark!" Thankappan, who planned on practicing it, decided to leave it at that. "Anyhow, from what you saidthat would an that you were sane when we got caught." He spoke.
"Yup, totally." Kunjan nodded his head.
"Then why the hell are you here? You could've ran away by yourself; or you could've take us away with you. At the very least, you could've warned us." Thankappan scolded.
"Well, you should be held responsible for what you did." Kunjan got back as well.
"As I said before, why didn't you" Thankappan was cut short by Kunjan.
"I'm involved in this too, right? So, I deserve to be punished too." He replied.
Gibli sighed before he spoke. "Great! We asked this guy to raid the MIB HQ with us. He'll just give up right in the beginning if this is the case." He was t with a dumbfounded audience of three.
"Huh?" Thankappan was the most baffled one amongst them.
"Nothing." Gibli quickly tried to cover up.
Thankappan took in a deep breath. "I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear anything you said right now because that would be downright impossible and you'd be placed in a prison for planning sothing ridiculous as this." He spoke in a calm and rational tone.
"Wait, you're chill about it?" Gibli was surprised. He never expected this turn of events.
"I am. Because I know it's impossible for just the three of youfour including M'Baku if he agreed with it too." He replied.
"Cool, we'll continue with our plans then." Kunjan spoke this ti.
"Good luck." Thankappan wished them for their plan.
Since that was done with, Gibli turned his attention back to Kunjan. "Now, back to our point. Why?" He asked.
"Because we deserved it." Kunjan bluntly replied.
"Man, I get it. But don't you think this is a bit much? Look at Vineeth over there for example. The guy's in shambles." He pointed towards Vineeth, on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
"No! I can't be in a prison. My wife my kids I can't let them get shad because of ! Why did I agree to do this shit?" Vineeth cried. It was a similar case for several others as wellexcept one asshole, of course.
"Man, can you pipe down. It's not that big of a deal." Tyagi raised his voice as he picked his nose.
"And then there's that asshole. He fucked us all over and now he's chilling out there." Gibli looked at Tyagi furiously. Although, Tyagi didn't care since he was used to it.
"Yup, he deserves a harsher punishnt." Kunjan agreed with Gibli's sentints.
"Dude, since when did you beco this justice warrior type of character?" Gibli asked. This version of Kunjan was quite Different in what way?different from the one he know.
"What do you an? I always stand by justice." Kunjan assured.
"Very well. Are you expecting sothing to happen to him?" Gibli asked.
"Unfortunately, no. At least, nothing right now. But I feel like a storm's coming." Kunjan gazed towards the farthest ceiling.
Suddenly, Gibli's face turned grim. "Here cos Kunjan's impeccable bad on radar." He spoke.
"What do you an?" Taro asked.
"I don't know how, but whenever he talks about sothing going awry, it generally does." Gibli explained.
"That's just straight up black tongue [1]" Thankappan replied.
"Black tongue?" Taro was interested in this new term.
"It basically ans the sa thing that he said right now. Bad ons coming true." Thankappan explained it briefly.
"I hope he's wrong about it this ti though." Taro whispered.

Back in the Holy Land, Lonappan had been waiting for the guys for hours now. It was awfully silent. However, this silence was broke when his phone rang. He picked it upit was Gopan. "What's up, Gopan?" He casually greeted his comrade.
"Ah, it seems like I'm the only one who heard about it." Gopan replied upon hearing Lonappan's laid back voice.
"Heard about what?" He asked.
"About how the guys got jailed for illegal consumption of marijuana." Gopan replied.
"Huh, that explains why they're late." There wasn't much of a surprise in his voice as Gopan expected. It was as if he knew it would happen. "Well, did all four got caught?" He asked.
"Yea, why'd you ask?" Gopan asked back.
"Even Thankappan?" Lonappan didn't want it to be true. Even though he did call his junior an idiot for fun, he didn't want that to be factual.
"Yea, even him." Gopan replied.
"Tch. That idiot!" Lonappan cursed inwardly. "Gopan, it seems like we've got to help."
"Sure! I'll co by as soon as possible and we can go to the station right after." Gopan said.
"You do that. However, before the police station, we will have to move to another place." Lonappan gave out an order that Gopan didn't expect.
"Huh? Okay." Although a bit doubt crept into him, Gopan decided to place his trust on his friend and headed towards his auto.
Lonappan hanged up the phone as well and clenched his fist in anger. "For fuck's sake. Making pull out a double duty. I'll never forgive them for this." He cursed.
