Look, Maarthan, you're supporting those creatures. Sher Khan is here, and Sher Khan will kill them somehow. As long as I'm here, no one can save these creatures," he says. Another call comes. The person on the other end picks up the phone and says, "What is it? What do you want? Why are you bothering me?" "Sir, I told you to kill him then. Now look, I gave him a second chance, but he's not even paying attention," he says. "Who is he?" Yugandhar asks. "That's the guy, sir, the one you had beaten the other day. He's hanging out with your daughter again," he replies. "What? How dare he? It seems like all that didn't teach him a lesson. I'll take care of his arrogance. This time, I won't let him live. The madman I have now has the capacity to kill anyone," he says, cutting the phone call. Without a second thought, he says, "Look, Meesa, you people stay here; I'll send one person." He puts down his gun and takes out a new sword from his suit. "I've killed so many people with this, countless people. Finally, I'll kill this guy and become king here. How dare he try to trap my daughter when I'm trying to enter politics? If they kill him, my daughter will listen to me anyway. Then I'll become Chief Minister and Prime Minister." He imagines Dharma, thinking, "As long as Dharma is here, no danger will come to our family." He gets into his car and drives off at high speed. The car's AI shares its location. He immediately lets go of the steering wheel. Suddenly, a full wave comes. The car lifts into the air. The car gets boosters. The thrusters lift it into the sky, and it flies away quickly. After a while, it stops at a place. The booster stops. It comes to a halt. As soon as Yugandhar gets out, the car transforms into a bracelet on his hand. It's a tea shop, where Samrat and Radha always sit and drink coffee. He immediately walks quickly, with some thugs following him. Ten people are scared and move away. He kicks open the door and enters. But in front of him, the heroine, Radha, wants to appear strong, not weak. She tries to gently hit the men who came, but she's not strong enough. Her strength isn't enough. The attackers immediately slap her, making her fall. Then they tie her hands and feet and hold her. Just then, Radha hits them. She takes a small stick she has and hits them. It has a shocking power, so the thugs fall, but they're afraid to touch Radha. Immediately, her father comes. "Look, I gave you so many good things, and in the end, you love a useless poor guy? You want to ruin my reputation? Even if you ruin my reputation, you must marry the person I choose," he says, slapping her and preparing the car to throw her inside. As Radha is thrown into the car, she puts her head out and calls out, "Samrat! Samrat!" Samrat slowly lifts his head. "Radha, don't be sad. Just as the sky waits for the moon, I will wait for you. I will definitely come for you. If you are the sky, I am the moon. I will definitely come for you..." he says. IKAI: Episode 2 (Continued) - Kalki's Reality and The Portal"Samrat!" Kalki suddenly jolts awake, startled. "What happened? This name – to see and hear it, it's like my father's name, isn't it?""Whose name it is doesn't matter to us now," Anji's voice cuts in, echoing in his mind. "Tell me, what is love? Is it about kissing, or about forging bonds? Which is it? If you were in that situation, what would you do? Would you die, or would you fight to live?"Anji laughs loudly, his voice resonating, "Me? Die? I'd kill!"Just then, Kalki starts firing questions: "Alright, what happened to Samrat next? Did he survive or die? What did that Dharma do? Did Dharma find anything? Did he live or die again? Did what he intended happen or not?"Suddenly, a loud banging on the door makes him jump. He opens his eyes again, wide awake. "What kind of master is this? What is real and what is a dream? I can't figure it out, I'm so confused! And why did this Anji come into my dreams? Why did he tell this story? What about Samrat's knife? I need to know! I can only find out once I get out of here," he thinks to himself.From outside, Mayuri's voice calls out, "Hey Kalki! Where did you go, man? Today our first portal opens! We need to go there, otherwise Principal John Viswa and everyone else will yell at us again! Come on, it's already late!""Oh, I'm coming!" Kalki shouts back loudly. He quickly freshens up, puts on his clothes, and heads out. Outside, all the students are already seated in a bus.Kalki and Mayuri look at each other. Boys on one side, girls on the other. This is truly surprising. To get there, they have to cross a small forest. The forest feels strange; it's hard to tell what it is. All around are huge trees, and from inside come terrifying sounds from birds. "Do birds even make sounds like that?" he wonders. It's so frightening. Kalki is completely lost in his thoughts, still wondering, "What happened to Samrat later? If my mother and father's names are the same as those characters, then they must be alive. So what happened next?"Kalki and Mayuri are standing in one spot. All around them, friends have formed teams and are preparing to go inside. Each one has a bag, and small items like knives with them.Mayuri asks, seeing something that makes her incredibly happy, starting to bounce like a deer. "Look, isn't the forest beautiful? This is what nature means!"As Kalki looks on, perplexed, two boys, Ram and Shyam, approach them. Ram and Shyam both speak at once, "Hello, Miss! Our names are Ram and Shyam!"Mayuri, who was lost in the beautiful nature, is startled and snaps back to reality. "What?" she asks. The two boys look somewhat identical, like twins. "Can we join you?" they both ask at once."Of course! We definitely need people like you. Alright, what are you going to do?" Kalki asks, as they continue to question, "What's the name of this game? What are we supposed to do in this forest?""Oh, I guess you don't know yet. You came last, right? Alright, listen, I'll explain," Mayuri begins.Just then, a girl named Ramya comes forward. "Hello Kalki, my name is Ramya. You might not know my name, but I know yours very well.""Oh, really? Thank you," Kalki says, extending his hand for a handshake. Their eyes meet for a moment. Just then, Mayuri, irritated, gives Kalki a light smack on the head. He rubs his head like a child, asking, "What was that?""What are you doing, man?" Mayuri scolds. Kalki looks at his hand, which was still holding Ramya's. He feels a little embarrassed, realizing he was doing it unconsciously. Ramya gently pulls her hand away. "It's alright, sir. It's only natural and lovely when someone like you does something like this," she says, smiling as she walks away.Ram continues speaking, "This is a magical forest. There will be some boxes hidden here, and we need to find them. After finding them, we have to go to an island. No one knows what will be where. They said each team will get a map, but we don't know how we'll get it. We need to be the first team to finish. I don't have any interest in anyone else here, that's why I came with you. And you beat Raghav so easily! Will you teach us those techniques too? If we learn such techniques, we can also survive here. It's okay now that you're here," he rattles on. "Will you teach us?" he asks.Kalki thinks to himself, "Oh, my god! If you try to learn these, your body will break into pieces. Why get into trouble, man?" Aloud, he says, "It will take a lot of time for you to learn these things. Shyam and Ram, you both look very nice. You don't need such things. If I feel like teaching you in the future, I will. Alright, our team is ready now, right?"From the side, Ramya also asks, "Can I come too?" Kalki smiles slightly. "How can you not come?" he says, welcoming her into the team. Now, Ram, Shyam, Kalki, Mayuri, and Ramya form a team of five."Alright, what's the deal with those boxes?" Kalki asks.Ramya immediately explains, "It's nothing. There will be some traps scattered around. If we avoid falling into them, we get some coins. Based on the coins, we can get some rewards, like the money they showed us near the classrooms. There will be a box like that. If we put all our coins into it, when the money increases in it, we'll get some boxes. Based on that money, we can acquire certain items." Ram and Shyam commend Ramya, "Oh, well done! You found out a lot!" Ramya lowers her head slightly and thanks them.The Mystery of Creature Powers – Shyam RevealsRamya was talking about the coins:"With the coins in the boxes, we can get many rewards... weapons, maps, and other tools..."Just then, Shyam interrupts:"One moment... this time, I'll explain. Coins are one thing, but something much bigger than that – creature powers!"As everyone looks on in surprise, Shyam slowly pulls a golden, ear-like shape out of a box and shows it.Shyam (in an intense tone):"These... are creature parts. A rabbit means sharp ears, a fox means fast legs... like this, each creature has a unique power.""When we open the boxes... sometimes these are what we get."Kalki: "You mean, we get organs...?"Shyam (showing as if he's about to put the ear into his own):"If a creature's organ completely merges with our body... we can gain that creature's power.Rabbit ears – we can hear sounds and detect anyone within 500 meters.Fox legs – in any speed challenge, if you jump, you'll get the speed to leap up to 20 feet!"⚠️ But – Shyam's Dark Truth:"But it's not that easy...Once a creature's power completely merges with your body... your original form will change.And not just one creature's power –If powers from different creatures combine, it will become a curse for you.Because you can never return to human form."Mayuri (scared):"So... those who lose will remain... that creature forever...?"Shyam laughs softly:"Yes... they call it the Beast Trap.Once you fall into a beast trap – your human form, your identity, everything is lost.You become a 'Shikaar' (prey) for the other teams."Beast Kingdom – Victory or Slavery?Effects to follow: * Ramya's eyes suddenly flash with a deep shadow as she looks at Kalki: > "For your body... perhaps which creature's power awaits?" > * Kalki's thoughts: > "In the dreams that haunt me... I always see an incomprehensible tiger, a fish, an eagle... > Is that... is that a sign of these things?!" > Ram slowly, very gravely, begins to speak. The forest acts like an auditorium – surrounded by animal sounds, raindrops from above, thunder rumbling – setting the mood...Ram:"There's one more thing... This isn't disheartening, but it's an undeniable truth."Everyone falls silent.Ram:"Here... when some individuals fall into traps and accept organs that combine the powers of two creatures...Their body loses control. They... become 'Beast-gals' (Beast-folk)."Kalki: "So, a single Beast power is safe... but if they combine...?"Ram (head bowed, gravely):"Then we effectively lay the 'corpse' of their humanity to rest.""Now, the thing is... to control such Beast-folk... we too must possess a Beast-level power.We must fight them. And defeat them."😨 Mayuri, Ramya's reaction:Mayuri looks at Ram, visibly scared, her eyes wide. Ramya's face shows deep concern.Ram (continues, despite their visible fear):"But... if a Beast is defeated...He doesn't completely die.He becomes a slave... for life... to the one who defeated him.For those who have turned into Beasts to regain their freedom... their conqueror must die."After hearing this, Mayuri's head spins, and she breaks out in a sweat. She grabs Kalki's hand, looking at him as if asking, "Is this true?"Ramya, though a bit tense, nods gravely.Ramya:"I know... my uncle told me.Once you enter that Beast mode...You can never return to human form.""So, we have only one path... we must be careful from the start."🌪️ Effect of this scene:A fear settles upon each character that a Beast shadow might fall upon one of them.They also don't know who among them might merge with which creature's power.Finally, Kalki realizes – someone, sometime, has already merged a creature's power into his body.✨ Technical clarity for the power system explained by Ram: * 🟢 One creature power → Healing (temporary powers for a limited period) * 🟡 Two/Three creatures mixed → Aggressive powers, but with shocking consequences * 🔴 More than three creature powers → Permanent Beast-hood, humanity is lostQuestions to consider for your next segment: * Who put a creature's power in Kalki? * What kind of creature power is it? * How will this affect him in the game? * Will he become a permanent beast?This is a fantastic development for your story! The stakes are incredibly high now, and Kalki's pre-existing connection to the "creature powers" adds a thrilling layer of mystery.
