Chapter Chapter Twelve
Ziddan Zai was wandering around the neighbouring planets to have a final look at the places reserved for humans. He then checked the planes and spaceships waiting to carry the humans off Planet Earth. He was about to move to another planet and had ordered the crew to be ready for their flight to Earth, when a small, diamond mirror appeared in the sky above his head, showing an important call from his planet. He was told that his son had returned after a successful mission. He made his way towards his planet to greet his son and to welcome the ancestors of Doitoi.
In the court of Doitoi, Paikhnam was sitting on the floating couch that had been specially designed for him by order of Doitoi. He also found thousands of machines under the supervision of a much larger and complicated machine in the court. He wanted to see the people who had come to Planet Xee with his son - Doitoi’s brother, his family and other people. But there was no one there except a man sitting with Doitoi who told the godfather that all of his family members had died in battle with Zagnai and the abraxs.
Doitoi spoke to the audience present in the court as well as to Ziddan and Paikhnam. He told them he wanted to go to sleep for another ten thousand years. Meanwhile, his power and will would be granted to Paikhnam who would be the king during his sleep.
Paikhnam Zai was granted a bracelet and a necklace as the symbol of king and godfather of the planet. He was advised that in the case of extraordinary circumstances or a situation that he could not control, he could awaken Doitoi from his sleep to ask for help.
‘You need to put my bracelet on my neck,’ said Doitoi, ‘and my necklace on my wrist, and I will immediately wake up to listen to you.’
A few days later, Paikhnam and his father were sitting in the hall, discussing the arrival of humans from Planet Earth.
‘I am very thankful to humans,’ said Paikhnam, ‘for the medicine they sent for my treatment. I want to help them; I want to see them here as soon as possible. If I had not been appointed godfather of the planet by Doitoi, I would have liked to go and bring them here myself.’
‘You don’t need to worry,’ his father replied. ‘I have made all the arrangements and I will be leaving soon to bring them here.’
However, a few minutes later, Ziddan heard some of his tiffinies who just had arrived from Earth.
‘I advised you not to leave the planet until I had come there myself,’ said Ziddan angrily.
He was informed by the tiffinies that there was nothing left on the planet. All humans, animals, plants, and trees… in fact, every single thing on the planet had been destroyed by humans with their own deadly weapons.
‘I knew they would kill themselves one day, despite all of my efforts to save them.’
At the request of Paikhnam, Ziddan arranged for the glass mirror to show him the events that had occurred on Earth during his ten year absence. A scene appeared on the screen just before the destruction of the planet.
The planet had been attacked by its own people from dozens of different places and directions. The deadly weapons (nuclear, hydrogen bombs and the like) were launched at the same time from different parts of the planet, believed to be just a one-way attack by each country. Soon the planet turned into one huge fireball and more than eighty percent of the population perished in seconds. The rest of the people were left helpless without energy, communication, rescue, food or water. They became insane, tore their clothes into pieces, and ran to the deserts to mourn. Most of them killed themselves.
Ziddan and Paikhnam realised the cause of the destruction of the planet. It was the greed of leadership, the greed of resources, the competition for weapons and the lust for power to rule the world. There was nothing left behind, not even animals were left to devour the remains of the humans.
‘What shall we do now?’ Paikhnam asked his father.
‘We cannot do anything. They have met their end,’ he replied.
‘But it was the act of few people – nobody else was involved. We must find and punish the guilty ones.’ Paikhnam was still interested in helping the humans and bringing them to a new planet as his father had promised.
‘You’re right – it was an act of a few people, and nobody else was involved,’ Ziddan agreed. ’But they remained silent about the development of such weapons; they did nothing to stop their countrymen. Rather, they helped them, appreciated them and supported them through different ways and means because they were afraid of a so-called ‘enemy’. They deserved the punishment they received. We are lucky for not having them here, otherwise they would spoil our planets, our environments and our innocent creatures.’
There was silence for a while, until Paikhnam spoke out.
‘Didn’t you see, Dad? Most of the population of the planet were still struggling for their lives from day to night, working hard round the clock for a loaf of bread for themselves and their loved ones. They must have been unable to think of anything apart from the next day’s meals. They were unaware of the heinous acts of their masters. They did not deserve that punishment.’
Silence fell again. No words were exchanged between the father and the son.
‘They are not that innocent,’ said Ziddan at length. ‘They could have changed their circumstances and united against every evil; against their killers. Instead, they preferred to remain silent.’
There was another pause between them, Paikhnam breaking the silence moments later.
‘But we must fulfil our promise, Dad.’
‘Okay, my son, I will bring them here to our planet as promised.’
Paikhnam smiled and thanked his father.
‘But we have to change their nature before they arrive here,’ said Ziddan. ‘I command my tiffinies to bring a couple of hundred human DNAs to me. We will bring them here and make the necessary changes before resurrecting the rest of the world.’
Fifty-six years later on Planet Xee, a man woke up one morning, looked around and jumped out of bed immediately.
‘I must have been sleeping quite a long time,’ he whispered to himself. ‘I must leave now.’
He rushed towards the doors but found himself in a strange place in a completely new environment. He looked around carefully and made his way back to the room he had just left, and then began crying because he was alone there.
The first subject was being observed very closely and carefully. He was the very first man who woke up on Planet Xee after being brought from Earth.
‘Anxiety, fear, grief and worry.’ Records of the nature of human beings were being kept while examining this individual.
A few days later, another human was found to have a clever mind, whilst other subjects seemed to be cheats, liars and frauds. Another was exposed as being angry, with the intention to kill those who would not follow.
They observed all kinds of people from every possible background, from each tribe and every continent, from servants to lords and masters, from poor to rich, from killers to saviours. The observers had found almost all the weaknesses and strengths of human nature and were now developing the necessary tools to replace the bad habits. They decided to copy the merciful, loving and compassionate qualities they bestowed upon their own people, creatures and plants.
Just as they were about to change the nature of the humans present there, something went wrong.
Paikhnam Zai was pacing up and down in the court, when his father popped in.
‘What are you worrying about,’ Ziddan asked him.
‘I cannot find the necklace,’ Paikhnam replied, desperately. ‘It is nowhere to be found on our planet. I left it in the court on Doitoi’s chair. What would happen if we needed to call up our Doitoi?’
Ziddan smiled at his son and told him not to worry.
‘One of the humans under our observation stole the necklace and hid it in their luggage. I made it disappear from your eyes so that if you found out, you would not punish the person.’
Paikhnam relaxed. ‘We must study their nature for another hundred years,’ he said. ‘We will apply all the changes after that.’
Finally the day arrived to apply the changes to the nature of humans and then the people of Planet Xee decided to study their subjects again for a further one hundred years to make sure the changes had been applied properly. These changes in the nature of all humans would then be rolled out after resurrection of the dead humans on Earth.
Three hundred years later, Ziddan arrived on Earth with thousands of spaceships and abraxs under the command of Magnai. The surface of Earth had become like the surface of Mars because the magnetic field of Earth had been severely damaged by the nuclear attacks. Due to the absence and weakness of Earth’s magnetic field, solar storms had hit the surface thousands of times in recent years.
However, Ziddan moved time backward for three hundred and ten years. The atmosphere and all of the inhabitants of Earth were reinstated. All the humans were surprised to be alive again; they thought they had awoken from a very long sleep. There was nothing wrong with the planet as everything had been replaced perfectly.
Days later, all the humans were called before Ziddan. He was sitting on the top of a hill, but travelling by Dark Motion, he was able to observe and listen to every human simultaneously. First, they were excited to remember that Ziddan had arrived to take them to Planet Xee for eternal life, but then a couple of thousand humans were brought before him with their legs and arms chained. These were the people who were involved in the war against the United Kingdom and who had detained the queen.
‘I promised you I would come back to Earth to save your lives, to take you to my planet, to grant you all eternal life, so why did you kill your fellows without mercy? Had you forgotten my commands and promises?’
There was a deathly silence.
‘No one can escape from my anger and revenge today!’ Ziddan roared.
His voice had turned into thunderclap. The earth shook and there were tears of blood in the eyes of the guilty. They wanted to run away in any direction so as not to face Ziddan, but as he had said, there was no escape today. They were surrounded from every angle.
‘We beg your pardon,’ said one.
‘We were forced by our lords to kill our own people!’ cried another.
Ziddan looked at them; his eyes were ablaze. A screen appeared in the sky. The people who stood in chains before him, appeared on the screen carrying swords in their hands and chasing people, who were begging and crying for mercy. But these people did not listen – they chased and killed them.
Ziddan’s burning eyes looked upon them again; they were shaking in their shoes.
He then scanned their brains and those who had genuinely been forced to murder were forgiven and released. Only three of them were found guilty, the French President, another political figure and an investor who had provided funds for to develop the weapons.
Then it was time to find those who were guilty of the atomic bombardment. The same method was used for this purpose and at the end of the day, fourteen people, including three women, were found guilty. The Indian Prime Minister, and the Russian, American and Chinese Presidents were also found guilty, along with two members of Congress, three bankers and the deputies of each leader.
The punishment for those who were found guilty was still to be decided. Ziddan banned them from entering the skies for eternal life, but the rest of the population of the world was allowed to travel to Planet Xee with Ziddan, Magnai and the abraxs.
However, the leaders who were left behind were allowed to choose people to stay with them on Earth. The leaders, the bankers and the politicians of the world, who had actually caused the destruction of the planet, now begged their people to stay with them. They offered the wealth of the world to them as all of the resources of the planet would now be available to them: gold, silver, oil, money, food, villas, countries, homes, cars and planes. Every single commodity on Earth would be their property if they stayed.
‘Here is everything you need. Stay with us to enjoy it,’ they begged the people, but nobody, not even their relatives, loved ones, servants or supporters were happy to stay with them on Earth. They were refused by everyone.
The humans who were leaving the planet finally understood that it was only a few people who had caused trouble throughout human history, making slaves and soldiers of their fellow humans in order to kill each other. The wealthy had been playing games with the poor in order to multiply their wealth, but it had come at the price of innocent blood. So-called politicians, religious leaders, kings and queens had been playing with people’s lives, hearts and souls as if they were pieces on a chess board. The whole time, innocent people had been sacrificing their lives and spending their golden years protecting the wealthy, for the sole purpose of increasing the wealth and power of certain individuals.
‘We prefer peace in our lives, in our minds and in our souls,’ they said to the fourteen people left behind on earth. ‘We prefer eternal life. Stay here and enjoy your life with all of its wealth, resources and luxuries. It’s all for you now.’
‘Goodbye, Trump.’
‘Goodbye, Netanyahu.’
‘Goodbye, Putin.’
‘Goodbye, Asad.’
‘Goodbye, Jinping.’
‘Goodbye, Modi.’
Ten years later, having arrived on Planet Xee and surrounding worlds, a group of ten people came to the court of Paikhnam to express their wish to know about the latest situation and development on Earth.
Paikhnam sent them to his father to fulfil their wish.
Ziddan smiled. ‘None of the billions of people, apart from you, ever wished to know about the circumstances of Earth. I appreciate you coming here.’
A diamond shaped mirror appeared in the sky and Ziddan waved his hand. Planet Earth, with its familiar atmosphere, appeared on the screen. They were excited to see their previous homeland again.
A scene appeared on the screen: Trump and Modi were wrestling to prove who was more powerful and capable of ruling the world. Modi proved that he was more powerful and demanded that everyone accept him as the king of the world.
‘But you lost the battle of secret information about the world; you must bow down before me and follow my instructions,’ said Trump.
The scene changed on the screen of the diamond mirror. There was everything in plenty on Earth: they had planes but no pilots to fly them; they had food factories capable of producing food for billions of people, but no one to run them. There was no one there to produce food, drink, medicine or other essentials to sustain life.
The scene changed again. They were sitting in a vast jungle, lighting a fire to keep them warm. They had found grass, leaves and plants to eat to keep them alive. There was no one there to produce and provide electricity, gas or petrol.
In another scene, Modi was tied to a tree and Putin and Trump were beating him with branches and shouting, ‘Why did you kill the new born baby? It was the only one to carry on our generation on Earth.’
Modi shouted back, ‘I do not want our generation to survive; we have already been enough for the destruction of the planet. I do not want our species to survive. I do not want any bloodshed even if it is thousands of years in the future.’
He was hit again and again, harder and harder by both of them.
Modi started crying with pain and the rest of the population of the planet Earth (only thirteen persons now) also started crying for their current situation.
But the noise of their crying was drowned out by the laughter on Planet Xee.
