Everyone is terrified just by Aditya's aura,but they don't want to accept defeat at the hands of a single boy.
One of the fighters, Lokesh, leaves Arjun and charges straight at Aditya.
Aditya rushes toward him at incredible speed—a scorpion kick lands directly on Lokesh's head.
Lokesh collapses on the spot, unconscious.
Arik, Pulkit, Soham, and everyone else are shocked—Aditya has taken Lokesh down in one shot.
Then Arik and Soham move in together.
Arik throws a spinning hook kick at Aditya,but it doesn't land.
Aditya counters with a back sweep kick,dropping Arik to the ground,followed by a brutal elbow to his face.
Arik is done.
Soham immediately attacks with a side kick,but Aditya counters with a wheel kick,sending Soham flying a short distance.
Before Soham can recover,a twisting scorpion kick crashes into his head.
Soham's vision starts to blur.
Aditya stands right in front of him.
As Soham's vision clears slightly,he sees Aditya's eyes—pure red.
Soham tries to move—
but Aditya lands a powerful side kick,and Soham is finished as well.
When Pulkit and Aarav see this,they panic and run away.
As the remaining members see them fleeing,they also run.
Aditya's eyes return to normal.
He looks around, confused.
"How did Soham and Arik pass out?"he thinks.
Then he looks toward Swati and Arjun.
Both of them are lying on the ground, injured.
"Does that mean… I hit them too?"
He suddenly remembers the fight he had with Pulkit earlier—this feels exactly the same.
Then he remembers Dhruv, who was badly injured.
Aditya immediately calls an ambulanceand also informs the police.
Five Minutes Later
The ambulance arrives and takes everyone who is injured or unconscious.
Aditya does not leave,because he has to give a statement to the police.
He tells the police everything,and they record his statement.
Hospital
Aditya reaches the hospital.
Dhruv's parents are crying.
He goes to them and asks how Dhruv is doing.
Through tears, they tell him thatDhruv's condition is still not stable—he is in critical condition because he lost a lot of blood.
Hearing this, Aditya is shaken.
He tries to comfort them, saying Dhruv will be fine.
After some time, Arjun and Swati arrive as well.
Both have bandages on their heads.
Seeing them, Aditya feels relieved—at least they are safe.
Arjun then tells him thatSoham and Arik have been taken by the police.
They are being held in juvenile detention,but Soham is an adult,so he has been sent to an adult jail.
However, it is unclear how long they will remain there.
Just then, the doctor treating Dhruv comes out.
He informs them thatDhruv is now out of danger.
They will be allowed to meet him,but first he needs to be shifted to a normal room.
After some time, they are allowed to go in.
Dhruv's parents break down crying when they see himand hug him tightly.
Aditya, Arjun, and Swati watch from a distance, smiling.
They give Dhruv a smile from afarand allow his parents some private time.
Outside the Hospital
Swati, Aditya, and Arjun step outside.
Arjun turns serious and says:
"This was just the beginning.Soham wasn't an ordinary gangster."
Aditya asks:
"Then who was he?"
Arjun replies gravely:
"There are eight major syndicates in India that rule different regions.""Each region is fixed—North, South, East, West,North-East, North-West,South-East, and South-West."
"The top four regional syndicates are far more powerful than the other four.""And the Northern region's top syndicate leaderis Soham's uncle."
"Now that you've laid hands on Soham,he won't stay silent.""Be careful."
Aditya responds:
"I don't think anything will happen.If Soham was so important,he wouldn't be here."
"He would already be leading a major syndicate.""I think this information might be wrong."
Arjun shakes his head.
"This came from a valid source.""Whatever it is, you need to stay alert."
Aditya:"Okay."
Swati doesn't say anything.
She just listens.
She wants to say something—but she stays silent.
