Chapter 7 : Aarav & Ishaan v/s Tony

Tony chases after Aarav and Ishaan with guns, and to stop him, the girl uses ice shurikens. But the gang leader slices her ice shurikens into tiny pieces. Tony slips past them, and now the boss's fight was going to be against four people.

Aarav and Ishaan, running, reach the upper floor. Tony was firing at them, so they turned right and ran into a shop down the corridor. They had entered the weapons room. Tony yells, "Give me the card!" and starts searching for them. Tony was standing right outside the weapon store.

Aarav and Ishaan were hiding behind a table. Ishaan asks Aarav, "What do we do now?" but they didn't have a plan. Aarav tells Ishaan, "Use your powers to take away their guns." Ishaan replies, "I can't. My powers only work for 20 minutes every hour, and after that fight with White Tiger, my limit is already reached."

Hearing this, Aarav gets even more stressed. Ishaan asks him, "What are your powers?" Aarav simply says, "I don't know. I haven't awakened my powers yet."

Ishaan stands up and yells, "You're going to power school without any powers?" Hearing his voice, Tony spots him and fires, but Ishaan ducks just in time, and the weapons hanging on the wall fall out of their cases. Tony and his hacker come in, telling them to come out quietly, but Aarav and Ishaan don't move. Slowly, Tony starts approaching them.

Aarav spots a shield and some smoke bombs lying on the ground. Ishaan picks up the smoke bombs and says, "They have smoke bombs here too?" Aarav gets an idea and tells Ishaan.

Tony gets very close to the table, and just then, someone jumps from behind the table. Tony fires, but all the bullets hit the shield. Tony's rounds run out, and Aarav tells Ishaan to throw the bombs. Ishaan throws the bombs, and smoke fills the area. Ishaan jumps over the table, kicks Tony in the face, and runs, causing Tony to fall to the ground. Both of them escape from the shop.

As the smoke clears, the hacker is lying on the floor, and Tony, standing up, yells at him, "Why are you on the ground?" The hacker replies, "That boy [Aarav] landed on my face with the shield, knocking me down." Hearing this, Tony gets even angrier.

He screams, "Idiots!" Aarav and Ishaan were now hiding in the manager's room. Both of them started planning their next move, knowing they had to act fast and help the others downstairs. Aarav says, "In a little while, your powers will be back. Until then, we need to hold them off. Once your powers are back, their bullets won't affect you, and we can easily knock them out."

Aarav spots some weapons in the manager's room and starts choosing from them. Ishaan then asks him, "Why do you want to go to Power School without any powers?"

Aarav pauses for a moment and says, "I've always been alone. I never had powers, so no one ever became my friend. The kids in my class called me 'useless' and kept their distance from me. Now, I finally have a chance to prove myself—prove myself to all those people who think I'm worthless, and to the ones who believe in me—I don't want to lose this opportunity."

Ishaan was beginning to understand his feelings when suddenly, the manager's door exploded with a loud bang. Tony broke in, aiming at them and saying, "Don't even think about moving, got it?"

Aarav and Ishaan freeze, and Tony asks them for the card. Just then, Tony's hacker teammate notices a white statue in the room, which wasn't very large, and tells Tony to look at it. Tony's attention shifts to the statue. Taking advantage of the distraction, Ishaan throws a glass pot at Tony. Tony breaks the pot with his hand, but the water splashes onto his face. Aarav, using the stick he had picked up earlier, hits Tony's gun and knocks it away.
