The chapter opens on a lively playing field under a bright afternoon sky. Laughter and the thud of a ball echoed in the air—Arjun and his team were in the middle of a cricket match. Arjun stood confidently with the bat, ready to face the next delivery. Reyansh, focused and determined, prepared to bowl. Meanwhile, Kavya stood off to the side, arms folded, observing the game with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"Shouldn't you all be practicing instead of playing this?" Kavya finally called out, breaking the flow of the game.
Arjun grinned cheekily. "Everything else comes second in front of cricket."
Reyansh added with a chuckle, "Of course! Cricket is the top priority for men."
Reyansh turned back to Arjun, raising his brows. "Are you ready to lose, bro?"
Arjun laughed with confident flair. "Hah! Do you really think I'll lose? In cricket? No way!"
With that, Reyansh took his run-up. Arjun tightened his grip and took his stance. The ball came flying—a perfect yorker. But Arjun was ready. He slightly moved aside from the stumps, created space, and executed a scoop shot. The ball soared through the air, sailing beyond the field for a six.
Arjun sprinted forward and leapt into the air, celebrating like a champion.
Reyansh sighed in playful disappointment, "Oh no!"
Still, he jogged over and hugged Arjun. "You did it well, bro."
Arjun smiled and patted his back. "You also did great."
Kavya walked up, hands on hips. "If you're done playing, shall we start training now?"
Both Arjun and Reyansh nodded in agreement.
They moved to a vacant piece of land nearby. Arjun glanced around and said solemnly, "Ten years ago, this place was a greenland... but after a massive Celestial attack, it turned into this wasteland. It's perfect for our training now."
The trio began practicing with serious focus, sparring and refining their techniques in a friendly yet intense battle session.
Meanwhile, in Haridwar, dark clouds began swirling ominously. A huge portal tore through the sky with a thunderous rumble. Out of it emerged a giant rock monster—its one massive eye and he is the size of a building. The beast let out an earth-shaking roar as panic swept through the city. Civilians screamed and fled in terror.
The Indian military quickly mobilized, charging into the city to evacuate civilians and face the colossal threat.
Standing atop the monster's head was a Celestial General, clad in gleaming silver armor, with a long horn protruding from his head and a shining silver sword in hand. He raised his blade and gave the command.
The giant roared again and began demolishing everything in its path. Buildings crumbled like sandcastles, streets cracked open, and chaos ensued.
Just then, an aircraft—a compact, military-style jet—approached rapidly from the horizon. Inside were Arjun, Kavya, and Reyansh.
Kavya looked sideways at Arjun, concerned. "When did you learn to fly a jet?"
Arjun replied coolly, "I watched a lot of online classes on how to fly one."
Reyansh, gripping the seat with terror on his face, shouted, "I don't want to die! I'm still single!"
Arjun increased the speed as the jet roared through the sky.
Kavya asked, more calmly, "Where did you get this jet, by the way?"
Arjun smirked. "Oh, just got it from an old friend."
Scene shift.
Back at a high-security military base filled with several jets and aircraft, a man stood confused on the launchpad. He was Squad Leader Riyaan, scratching his head and muttering, "Where did my jet go?"
In front of him was an empty space... where his personal jet used to be.
Scene shifts back to Haridwar.
The rock giant was still wreaking havoc as the military struggled to hold it back. Suddenly, Arjun's jet entered the airspace and began firing from above. Laser cannons and mounted machine guns bombarded the giant. But then—the Celestial General on top raised his horn. From it, he fired a devastating energy beam that struck one of the jet's wings.
The aircraft spiraled out of control.
"Brace yourselves!" Arjun shouted, but instead of crashing into the ground, he maneuvered the jet toward the monster itself.
The jet collided with the back of the giant's head, resulting in a massive explosion—almost nuclear in scale. Arjun, Kavya, and Reyansh were flung into the air but landed safely nearby.
Reyansh cheered, "Told you! Planting bombs and activating all weapons was a great idea! It definitely hurt that monster!"
Smoke and fire engulfed the beast as visible cracks appeared on its stony body. It roared in agony. Even the Celestial General was visibly shaken from the blast.
Enraged, the General leapt down toward the trio. Reyansh raised his spear just in time to block the incoming sword strike but was overpowered and flung to the ground. He crashed through three concrete walls and lay groaning.
"Damn… That's one hell of an attack."
The General descended again, this time aiming to finish Reyansh off.
But just before his sword could strike, Arjun appeared mid-air and delivered a powerful kick to the General, saving his friend.
Kavya joined in, and the two battled the Celestial General together. Their coordination was fluid, like clockwork. Sword met blade, fist met armor. Sparks flew and ground shattered.
From a distance, Reyansh sat up, watching the fight.
"They're battling with such perfect coordination," he thought with a smile. "Looks like they'll do well in life."
He stood up, wiped the blood off his chin, and charged forward to rejoin the fight.
Kavya and Arjun were briefly pushed back by the General's raw strength. That's when Reyansh leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick.
"Did you forget about me?" he shouted.
His spear clashed repeatedly with the General's sword in a spectacular duel. Arjun turned to Kavya and said, "He's fighting great. Looks like we don't need to interfere."
They both charged towards the Gaint monster. Arjun appears above that monster head and attack with "Vajhara Fist!" The Monster Screamed in pain then the monster attack with his laser eye arjun dodge it.
If that attack hit me I will be lying on the hospital bed, Arjun with a scared smile
Just then Kavya Charged toward that monster "Lighting Sword Strike" like a rocket she strikes the monster eye and pierced through it. And the monster screamed and falls and laid a massive destruction.
Arjun comes to kavya and said "This monster is over we should head to help civilians."
She nodded and both rushed to help the civilians, assisting the military with evacuations.
But then—just when they thought it was over—the giant rock monster's cracked body burst open. A smaller but far more dangerous creature emerged from within and charged directly toward Kavya. Caught off-guard, she froze in place.
Blood splattered. Kavya's eyes widened in horror.
In front of her stood Arjun—his body pierced by the creature's sharp arm.
"Arjun!" Kavya screamed.
He smiled, blood dripping from his mouth. "You can't harm my teammates while I'm alive."
With sheer willpower, he pulled the monster's arm out of his body and shouted, "VAJRA FIST!" Thunder surged into his fist as it glowed with divine silver light. He struck the creature, blasting it away.
Kavya rushed to him, tears filling her eyes. "You idiot! Why would you do this?!"
Arjun chuckled weakly. "What are you saying? As a leader, if I don't protect my team… then who will?"
He coughed blood again and collapsed. Kavya caught him, holding him tightly.
"No, no, you can't die like this! We have to defeat the Celestials… live a normal life… Come on, Arjun, stay with me!"
He slowly raised a trembling hand and wiped her tears. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me…"
His body began to glow with golden light.
He closed his eyes and began chanting:
"Om Namah Shivaya…"
"Om Tryambakam Yajamahe, Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam…"
"Urvarukamiva Bandhanan, Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat…"
As the mantras filled the air, divine energy surrounded him. The monster rose again, preparing to attack. Kavya, now burning with rage, intercepted the creature.
"You dare…!"
An enormous aura burst from her as she launched herself at the beast. Her attacks were relentless, driven by pure emotion.
With a final powerful sword strike—"Divine Sword Slash!"—she cleaved the monster in half.
She then turned to Arjun.
He was still glowing, still chanting.
One by one, his seven chakras lit up, a golden halo forming behind his head. The aura he released was so intense that no one except Kavya, Reyansh, and the General could even keep their eyes open.
The General paused mid-battle, sensing something divine. "What… is this power?!"
Reyansh knew. "It's Arjun."
Scene shift.
Within the universal divine realm, Arjun stood in awe as a massive golden figure appeared before him—Lord Mahadev himself.
Arjun immediately bowed, tears flowing from his eyes. "Mahadev…"
Mahadev raised his hand in blessing. A beam of golden energy surged from His palm and struck Arjun, illuminating his spirit.
Scene shift—back to the battlefield.
Arjun's body floated into the air, glowing with overwhelming divine energy. His injuries vanished. He opened his eyes, a powerful golden aura radiating from him.
He spoke in a calm, divine voice:
Even death itself can't harm the devotee of Mahakal.
A system notification appeared:
[Congratulations Host: You've Leveled Up to Spirit Wielder Mid level.]
Arjun smiled and slowly descended, landing gracefully. Kavya ran and hugged him tightly.
The Celestial General staggered back in fear. "H-How is this possible?!"
Reyansh smirked, stepping forward. "Oh, little boy… you've got no idea what's possible."
He charged with his spear. The General tried to block, but Reyansh's strength shattered his sword. The spear pierced through his chest.
Blood gushed out.
Reyansh hurled him into the sky. "Thunder Spear Cannon!"
A massive golden beam erupted from the spear, engulfing the General.
"Nooo! Celestial Lord, I'm sorry! I failed you!" he screamed, before being obliterated. The attack cleared the skies.
Arjun and Kavya joined Reyansh. He turned and hugged Arjun.
"You're amazing, bro! You shocked me again!"
Arjun laughed. "No, no. You're the amazing one."
They fist-bumped and laughed together.
Kavya looked at Arjun and smirked. "By the way, we did crash the jet. Won't your friend be angry?"
Arjun's smile froze. His face darkened. "Oh no… I forgot."
He turned away nervously. What if they find out I didn't borrow the jet… I stole it… I just hope Riyaan doesn't find out.
Reyansh clapped him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll go with you and apologize."
"No, no, that's not necessary!" Arjun replied quickly. "We're very good friends. No need to explain anything. Forget about it—let's go rest!"
The group nodded and began walking.
Arjun thought, I don't have to worry. Riyaan will never know I stole the jet.
Scene shift.
Back at the base, Riyaan stood in front of a large monitor, smiling angrily.
"So it was you…"
The screen played a video of Arjun sneaking into the hangar and silently stealing the jet.
Riyaan cracked his knuckles. "I'm eagerly waiting to meet you."
