Chapter 3 - Chapter-3(the awakening of humanity)

In the alleys of Kolkata, monsters reigned everywhere.

Seven days had passed since the attack. Thousands of cities had already been destroyed.

But in one dark alley, four children were running for their lives.

"Yash! Run faster!" Ishan shouted.

With them was a boy named Rahul and a girl named Anaya.

Yash was completely covered in blood. He said, exhausted,

"Ishan… I can't run anymore…"

"You have to run, Yash!" Ishan grabbed his hand and pulled him,

"Or these monsters will eat us alive!"

Just then—

"AAAHH! Rahul! Look out!!"

Anaya's scream pierced the air.

Rahul looked ahead…

Standing in front of them was a giant mantis.

Its claws shone, sharper than swords,

And its mouth revealed thousands of tiny, razor-like teeth…

Everyone froze, trembling at its terrifying form.

Slowly, they began to back away…

And then—

The mantis suddenly attacked!

"Yash! Ishan! Anaya! MOVE!!" Rahul screamed,

And shoved all three to the side.

The attack hit him instead.

Ishan's head slammed into the wall, leaving a deep gash.

He barely managed to steady himself when—

"RAHUL NO!!!" Anaya's scream echoed.

Yash and Ishan looked up—

And their blood ran cold.

The mantis's claw had pierced straight through Rahul's chest…

Blood dripped from his mouth.

But he hid his pain and looked at Yash, trying to smile—

"Don't worry about me… just run…"

"RAHULLLLL!!!" Yash screamed, tears flooding his eyes.

Anaya stood frozen in shock.

Tears streamed down her cheeks,

But her face was completely blank.

And then…

The mantis lifted Rahul into the air… and ripped him apart.

Rahul's blood scattered through the air.

Yash stared in horror at the mantis—

Its eyes were blood-red, and drool dripped from its jaws.

Then it began to devour Rahul's body…

Watching that, Yash's breath quickened.

Fear shot through his veins like electricity.

At that moment, Ishan grabbed his hand and shouted—

"Yash! Look! Anaya! There's a hole beneath that wall…

We can escape through there!"

Yash saw it—the bottom of the wall had collapsed.

Without a second thought, Ishan grabbed both Anaya and Yash's hands,

And the three of them crawled through the hole…

Behind them, the mantis's shrieking roar echoed—

And another painful memory was left behind…

Scene -- Near Howrah Bridge.

In a house, two children --- one brother and one sister.

Kreeti (terrified):

"Abhimanyu brother.... The monsters will eat us..."

Abhimanyu, hugging his sister tightly:

"No, Kreeti... I'm here. Nothing will happen."

But just then... a loud roar echoes from behind.

Abhimanyu hugged his sister even tighter.

Suddenly, with one powerful strike of a claw, the entire house trembles.

Abhimanyu turned and looked behind --- a big block is about to fall on both of them.

Without thinking much, still hugging Kreeti, he jumped out of the window.

They crashed hard into the ground. His arm is broken now.

But still holding Kreeti, Abhimanyu gently strokes her head.

Abhimanyu:

"Sister.... are you okay?!"

Kreeti (while crying):

"Yes, brother.... but you're hurt..."

But before they can say anything more...

Kreeti suddenly shouted:

"Brother.... behind you.... it's a tiger!"

Abhimanyu turned and looked --- the same tiger... the one who's leading this destruction across Kolkata.

It's standing before him like the God of death.

Abhimanyu's body went cold....

But he felt Kreeti's fear.

Abhimanyu stood in front of her protectively.

Kreeti clutched her head while crying.

Abhimanyu (to tiger):

"As long as I'm alive.... you can't even touch my sister!"

The tiger stared at Abhimanyu...

And let out a monstrous roar.

All the windows in the nearby buildings shattered.

But strangely --- Abhimanyu didn't even move an inch.

The tiger stared at him, surprised...

And then, furious.

For the first time, it sensed a true opponent in Abhimanyu.

Until now, every human had been like an ant in front of it.

Abhimanyu:

"Leave, now."

The tiger suddenly lunged with a powerful claw swipe. Abhimanyu was flung into the debris of a nearby building.

Another bone broke.

Blood poured from his mouth, his head was bleeding heavily.

But he was still alive.

Abhimanyu gathered his strength... and saw the tiger walking towards Kreeti.

Abhimanyu (while shouting):

"Kreeti! Run! Run from there!"

Kreeti looked up.... and saw --- the tiger was dangerously close to her.

And before anyone could react....

The tiger struck.

Kreeti's body flew into the air.

Her arm was severed.

Blood poured from her mouth....

She crashed 10 meters away.

Abhimanyu... who could only watch...

Suddenly, his eyes began to glow with red Aura.

Scene cut -- Professor Rajesh's chamber.

Professor Rajesh is reading ancient texts in a grand chamber with presidents.

Professor Rajesh (shocking tone):

"This means.... any human can only evolve...

When one of their six senses awakens...

And then, they'll become a warrior,

Only then they can control this Aura...."

"In ancient times.... these warriors were known as ---

The guardians of the world --- Rakshaks (protectors).

Whom we thought were myths,

Those are actually the truth....

Which means, this time not only monsters... but humans can also evolve."

---

Cut back -- Abhimanyu.

Screaming with rage, his wounds were healing rapidly.

His 'Rage' sense had been activated.

Abhimanyu's whole body began to glow with red Aura.

Suddenly, the locket around his neck started to shine ---

Symbol of the sun.

And in his hands... an Aura Sword began to form.
