Chapter 9 : Final Fight Over! And A Friend

The leader, in a fit of rage, transforms his nails into whips and channels all his energy into enhancing his body. Ishaan and Aarav now stand together before him, ready to try and stop him.

All three prepare to fight. Ishaan quickly jumps toward the boss, aiming a kick at him, but the leader vanishes the moment Ishaan gets close. Ishaan's kick lands straight on the wall. The leader appears behind Aarav and attacks him with his sharp whips, but Aarav blocks it with his stick. The leader snatches the stick from him and throws it aside.

Aarav moves forward and, dodging the leader's whips, tries to land a punch. He gets very close, almost landing the hit, but the leader catches his punch in his hand and kicks him in the stomach, sending him flying upward. Aarav can't move in midair, and the leader attempts to slice him with his whips from below. Ishaan quickly intervenes.

Ishaan pushes Aarav aside and takes all the slices himself. The leader's whips are so sharp that they even cut through Ishaan's metal layer, though the impact isn't too severe.

Both Aarav and Ishaan land back on the ground. Ishaan says, "His whips are extremely sharp." Aarav replies, "His speed and power are greater than ours. If we keep fighting like this and wear ourselves out, it'll be game over for us."

Ishaan said, "Tumhare paas koi plan hai kya?"

Aarav replied, "Mujhe lagta hai hume ek dusre ke paas hokar ladna chahiye. Agar hum uspe alag-alag hoke attack karenge, toh wo hamare haath nahi aayega. Hume usse apne paas lana hai aur phir usey harana hai. Paas mein ladne se hamare hit ke chances badh jayenge."

Ishaan said, "Thik hai, saath mein hi rehna. Meri powers ki time limit bhi khatam ho rahi hai; hume usey jaldi harana hoga."

The leader taunted, "Tum log bas baatein hi karte rahoge ya ladoge bhi?"

The leader then throws his whips at them. Both of them dodge his whips and start moving toward him. Aarav, getting closer to the leader, quickly grabs his stick from the ground.

Ishaan attempts a metal kick on the leader, but the leader dodges it. Aarav then tries an attack with his stick, but the leader stops it with his hands and delivers a kick to Aarav's stomach. Aarav blocks his stomach with his hand and grabs the leader's leg. At that moment, Ishaan comes from behind and delivers a powerful punch, sending the leader tumbling back a short distance. Aarav and Ishaan display solid teamwork, but when they look forward, the leader is no longer there.

The leader suddenly appears above them and targets Ishaan with his whips, pulling him upward and slashing him multiple times before kicking him far away. Aarav attempts to strike the leader with his stick from below, but the leader catches it and swings it back at Aarav. He misses, causing the stick to hit the ground. The leader then drags the stick along the ground and swings it, striking Aarav. Blood drips from Aarav's mouth, and before he can regain his footing, the leader delivers a powerful punch straight to his chest.

Aarav falls and lands beside Ishaan, whose left hand is injured, making it hard for him to move. Aarav is in severe pain and bleeding heavily. Ishaan tries to transform his hands again, but his time limit has run out. The leader laughs loudly. Ishaan attempts a normal punch, but none of his hits connect, as the leader dodges each one and counters with a flurry of punches. Finally, the leader delivers a powerful blow, sending Ishaan crashing into a table and knocking him out.

Aarav stands up, though he has no options left; if he loses, everyone dies. Aarav blinks and the leader appears in front of him, kicking him to the side. Just as Aarav is about to land, the leader grabs his face and slams him into the ground. Aarav is unable to move. The leader pulls out his whips, and it looks as though Aarav's time is up.
