The next week a team of judges affiliated to the international court was transported blindfolded to the underground rocky hiding place in the mountain at 21,500 feet height by Victor’s special vehicle.

The judges were offered variety of welcome drinks on board. The drinks were laced with an entirely new formula of the magic potion specially prepared for the judges.

The panel of judges had already examined all the testimonies that were presented to them in the form of videos and audio recordings. Amar, Victor, Adarsh, and Shakti had sent them the video and audio recordings in the same manner that they had adopted in sending them to the media people all over the planet.

Later in an audio message sent to each judge they had requested the judges to conduct the necessary trials to decide the punishments of all the convicts. For this purpose they had briefed them by way of an audio message on how the judges would be transported to a place where the victims were imprisoned. Considering the seriousness of the series of extraordinary and far-reaching events that took place on the planet and the presence of very authentic proofs to substantiate the crimes of the convicts involved, the judges of the international court considered it their quintessential moral responsibility to take up the assignment as requested by Amar, Victor, Adarsh, and Shakti.

During the previous week they had also dispatched to the judges the entire proceedings of their June 1 meeting with the convicts as an additional testimony.

All the prisoners except Zahin were brought in front of the judges in the conference hall of the hideout.

None of the offenders could deny the charges leveled against them.

At the end of the trial the chief of the panel of judges pronounced the judgment that was in two parts:

 “Part 1: On examining the testimonies carefully and without prejudices we have come to certain conclusions. Each one of you is now declared the worst criminal of the humanity. This declaration is important for the knowledge of the citizens of our entire planet. For your untold heinous acts against the humanity you are being awarded death sentence. You will be put to sleep forever the soonest possible.

Part 2: All the billions and billions of unaccounted money that you have been wangling via your disgraceful underhand dealings of various descriptions and stashed in various banks and other financial dealings under your own name, names of your family members, relatives, friends and business associates, any kind of fictitious entities etc will be immediately confiscated. An exact assessment of this unimaginably large amount will be made within next three months. Retrieval of such large sums of money is expected to significantly bring down the tax burden of the people. The entire money will be pooled up and used for the upliftment of the citizens of our planet by creating job opportunities, imparting education to all at affordable expenses, providing cheap medical care to everyone, and making available the essentials of life at reasonable rates.”

The court was dismissed after announcing the judgment.

The judgment was followed by drinks and dinner served to the convicts in their own cells. All the food items were garnished with an appropriate quantity of a new formula of the magic portion capable of inducing painless and instant death. Within a few minutes of consuming the food each convict fell down on floor to breathe his last.

The same panel of judges tried Zahin separately. He was also punished. He was asked to be jailed in a normal jail of Seher for a period of ten years. During this period he would be asked to carry out special humanitarian projects in Seher as well as in the countries where necessary. After this period he would be freed and treated like any other citizen of the planet.

All the proceedings of the trials were meticulously video recorded for documentation as the basis to inform the citizens of the planet by the concerned official agencies as well as by the media.

After the judges’ assignment was over they were transported back blindfolded in the same special vehicle in which they were brought in.

The impact of the magical potion that was administered to them in the flight started showing and when they woke up the next day in their respective homes they had forgotten about the entire episode. Yet their selectively retained memory could still confirm their participation in the conduct of the trials and their judgments. Amar, Victor, Adarsh, and Shakti thought this as an important aspect.

Helen, Uttam, Babu, Minmin, and the secretary of Zintun volunteered to sip adequate quantity of yet another formula of the magic potion that cleared all their memory of the places, people, and events associated with the disappearance acts. They didn’t want to share any of those secrets with anyone on the planet. 

The concerned official agencies and the media were given the videotape of the trials and judgments. They shared it with the public of the planet in the most transparent manner without any editing.

In the ensuing days and months, many more corrupt politicians, corporate czars, and terrorists as well as their cronies who were involved in planning wars, terror, and other cruel acts on humanity also disappeared mysteriously.

The ongoing disappearance shook the remaining corrupt lot with an unknown creepy fear. As a result they started distancing themselves from the criminal acts. Finally they had no alternative but to stop their crimes. Many of them even committed suicides out of fear and others did it out of shame.

The public of planet Berth had witnessed the true colors of many of their so-called leaders in political, bureaucratic, and corporate world on which they relied heavily so far. The citizens of planet Berth learnt to socially and professionally boycott these kinds of enemies of humanity.

One more significant development took place in all the countries of the planet Berth. The job vacancies in the militaries of almost all the countries went abegging. Despite quite attractive salaries and perquisite being offered by the militaries to attract the candidates, no one was willing to join the army, navy, and air force.

Therefore the new governments and the civil societies of almost all the countries thought of using their existing military personnel in human welfare projects.

Even the terrorists and extremists organizations could not attract any new recruits anymore. Their existing members deserted them by large numbers and finally they had no followers. The so-called leaders of terrorist organizations were taken in the custody of law, some of them surrendered themselves for legitimate punishments. Some of them committed suicides.

The armament designing, manufacturing and marketing companies closed down gradually. They stopped getting the orders for their products. Continuance of these companies was not feasible any longer. Many of these companies diversified into products and services of peaceful nature and retained their employees.

The employees who lost the jobs sought employment elsewhere with some help from the governments, the corporate sector and various civic societies.

With the billions that Amar and Victor had, they started a company that would deal in two domains- first one: electronics, computers and communication, and second: automobiles and aeronautics. They appointed Shakti and Adarsh as their CEOs respectively. Their company provided employment to some 10,000 persons in the first phase. The salaries of the CEOs were only six times the salaries of the lowest paid employees. Every employee including the CEOs was entitled for profit sharing based on his or her merit and contribution to the company. In the very first year of its operation the company did very well and so awarded cars, houses, education fund, and jewelry as rewards to its 2,500 deserving employees. The subsequent years profits were still better and everyone in the company shared more and more.

Learning about all round benefits of this model of running a corporate company many other companies started adopting the same model and profited. The distinction between the people of 1% club and those of 99% club started getting obliterated systematically and gradually.

A sizable number of conscientious and peace loving people of high value structure had already come forward to support the human society in the best possible ways in almost all the countries of planet Berth. They started volunteering themselves to offer their services through various government organizations, NGOs, research centers, corporate bodies, educational institutes etc.

The wars and inhuman activities came to an end on planet Berth. The peace triumphed.

Amar, Victor, Adarsh, and Shakti continued working relentlessly. They sustained forever their crusade to maintain peace on planet Berth. Their identity remained intact and unknown to the people of planet Berth. Many berthlings thought that creation and maintenance of peace on their planet was a godly act. Many others thought some human messiahs of noblest character and super powers were behind it.
