Abhimanyu's body was now surrounded by a red aura.
Stones, debris—everything around him began to levitate in the air.
The tiger-monster stared at him… as if it had recognized him.
But this Abhimanyu was no longer the same.
They were now facing each other — they weren't just a man and a beast anymore, they were two wild tigers, and no one could stop their clash now.
The battle of the jungle was now raging in the middle of Kolkata.
---
Abhimanyu (with rage, voice filled with pain):
"You… dared to touch my sister…?"
The tiger let out a ferocious roar—so loud that the entire city's ears trembled.
In a flash, it lunged at Abhimanyu!
With claws like swords, it attacked — but Abhimanyu raised his Aura Sword and blocked it.
The tiger was stunned — how could a human stop its strike?
---
Abhimanyu:
"You think… this time you'll be able to kill me?"
They clashed — and the impact sent shockwaves down the street.
Debris from buildings flew into the air.
Suddenly, Abhimanyu landed a powerful kick — the tiger was flung into the sky!
Before anyone could react, Abhimanyu leapt —
And slashed its shoulder deep with his Aura Sword.
The tiger's scream made the earth tremble.
---
Abhimanyu (shouting):
"I told you… stay away from my sister! What had she ever done to you!?"
He punches the tiger mid-air brutally.
---
Abhimanyu (tears in his eyes, furious):
"Why did you all do this...!?"
Then he kicks the tiger in the stomach… and slams it into the ground with force!
The tiger rolled over… roaring… but its strength was fading.
Abhimanyu walked toward it… eyes glowing red… his face burning with rage.
---
Abhimanyu (with fire in his voice):
"You beasts killed MILLIONS of people…
So many children were orphaned…!
Why!?"
The tiger had no words — just a beast made for destruction.
---
Abhimanyu (staring straight at it):
"Yes… in the end, you're just a monster.
And to destroy you…
I must become a monster too!"
---
Suddenly… the tiger spoke.
Tiger (in a deep voice):
"You're asking… what I did?
Can you even speak?"
Abhimanyu (shocked):
"You can talk!?"
---
Tiger (looking straight into his eyes):
"Yes… I am the King of Beasts.
I've eaten thousands of humans…
I can talk."
---
Abhimanyu:
"Then why did you do this!?"
Tiger (with a faint laugh):
"Hahahahaha…
Because humans took everything from us!"
Abhimanyu punched him in fury.
---
Tiger (still speaking):
"Humans slaughtered my family in front of me…
Burned my jungle to ash…
Displayed us in circuses and laughed…"
Abhimanyu punched again — but this time, his rage wasn't the same.
The tiger's voice grew deeper.
---
Tiger:
"The dumbest human… became wise.
But the wisest beast — is now extinct.
You all don't even know… why this is all happening."
Abhimanyu looked at him… confusion in his eyes.
The tiger lay on the ground, covered in blood… but still speaking.
---
Tiger (tired, with a faint smile):
"My end is near…
But this is all… karma.
What humans did… they're now paying for it."
---
Abhimanyu walked toward Kreeti…
But just then — the tiger stood up again.
Bleeding heavily… but standing tall.
---
Tiger (one last time, staring hard):
"You're a great fighter…
But if you truly are a good human… then listen —
Over 500 species have gone extinct in just 100 years.
Nature was destroyed by your hands…
And by the time you realized it… it was already too late."
---
Tiger (with fire in his eyes):
"I am — the King of Beasts.
Hope of Beasts.
Protector of Nature.
I will destroy you.
This isn't revenge… it's justice.
In a war, both sides think they're right…
But the truth is — no one is ever truly right in war."
---
At that moment, Abhimanyu drew his Aura Sword —
And in a flash, sliced off the tiger's head.
The tiger's head hit the ground…
And Abhimanyu stomped on it with force —
Crushing it completely.
The tiger's blood flew into the air.
---
Abhimanyu's aura gradually began to calm.
The Aura Sword vanished.
He was exhausted… but the story wasn't over yet.
He glanced once at the tiger — its head crushed.
Suddenly, a wave of pain surged through his entire body.
His head was splitting… his body burning.
But he ignored the pain…
Because his eyes had fallen on Kreeti…
Who was lying on the ground — completely still.
---
Abhimanyu (screaming):
"KREETI!!"
Abhimanyu was running towards Kreeti.
But suddenly… his legs faltered…
And he collapsed to the ground.
He stretched his hand out toward Kreeti…
Abhimanyu (gasping for air):
"Kreeti… I won't let anything happen to you…"
But darkness began to cloud his vision.
Everything blurred… everything froze.
Slowly… his eyes began to close…
---
Scene Change — Silence… then horror.
From behind a crumbled wall, three children emerged.
Their faces were filled with panic.
But suddenly… a sharp, rotting stench filled the air.
Ishan (nervously):
"Guys… look ahead…"
Yash peeked past Ishan —
And he was horrified…
Everywhere — human remains… rotting corpses…
And over them — bug monsters were devouring them.
---
Tears flooded Anaya's eyes.
Her throat was dry…
Anaya (guttural scream):
"We… we were running from one mantis… and now we're surrounded by THOUSANDS of insects!!"
Ishan immediately covered her mouth —
But it was too late.
---
The bug monsters had seen them…
Their mouths still full of human flesh…
Their yellow eyes hungry…
And hot, red blood dripped from their bodies.
The children trembled in fear…
Yash suddenly looked back —
Yash (screaming):
"GUYS!! LOOK BEHIND YOU!!"
Anaya and Ishan turned around…
But before they could even process it —
A red claw slashed across Anaya's chest.
---
Ishan, who had been holding Anaya's hand —
Fell back in shock…
Ishan (shocked):
"This… this is the same… that same Mantis Monster… it followed us here too…!"
---
The mantis lifted Anaya into the air.
Her eyes were lifeless.
Yash and Ishan could only watch…
Speechless… helpless…
Tears streamed down their faces.
And then —
The mantis tore her body apart.
Blood splashed everywhere.
---
The bug monsters surrounded Anaya's scattered remains…
And began to devour each piece…
Yash and Ishan — were broken.
Their souls trembled.
One bug monster now stood before them…
They had given up hope.
---
But just then…
A shadow…
A warmth spread through the air.
Every monster froze in place…
A strange energy filled the atmosphere.
Yash (confused):
"What's happening… why are these monsters… stopping?"
Ishan (nervously):
"I don't know… maybe they're… AFRAID of something…"
Yash:
"Afraid? What could they possibly be afraid of?"
Ishan looked up…
And said —
"Maybe… that man."
Yash slowly lifted his head — and screamed in shock —
"How… how can it be him?!"
