[Opening Full-page Panel]
The jungle around ruined Delhi. Manish Mehta's stone body is cracking, glowing blue. Karan stands in front, holding his spear, fire burning behind them.
📢 Narration (Karan):
"For 3000 years, I was alone. But finally… my brother, my best friend, is waking up."
---
[Panel 1]
Close-up: Stone breaks off Manish's face, revealing his blinking eyes, gasping for air.
📢 Manish (weakly):
"Haaah… Wh-what… where the hell am I?"
---
[Panel 2]
Karan grabs his shoulders, shaking him with excitement.
📢 Karan (grinning):
"You're alive, Manish! Bro… you actually survived this nightmare!"
---
[Panel 3]
Manish stares at the wild overgrown ruins of Delhi: vines on skyscrapers, animals in the distance, broken highways turned into rivers.
📢 Manish (jaw dropping):
"Wait… is this some prank? Did we enter a Jumanji level or what?!"
---
[Panel 4]
Karan smirks, serious now.
📢 Karan:
"No prank. 3000 years have passed. Everyone turned to stone… except us."
📢 Manish (shocked):
"3000 years?! Bro… that means my exam results are finally out!"
Karan facepalms in the background.
---
[Panel 5]
Karan points at his campfire proudly.
📢 Karan:
"I've already started rebuilding science. Fire, tools, food… little by little, we'll survive."
📢 Manish (impressed, teasing):
"So, basically, you're caveman Einstein now?"
---
[Panel 6]
Suddenly, loud rustling comes from the jungle. Both turn tense. A shadowy figure lurks.
📢 Sound effect: RUSTLE… GRRR…
📢 Karan (whispering):
"That's not good…"
---
[Panel 7 – Action Panel]
A huge Bengal Tiger leaps out, muscles tense, roaring ferociously.
📢 Manish (screaming):
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! First day out of stone and it's boss fight time?!"
---
[Panel 8]
Karan steps forward, spear raised. Manish fumbles to grab a sharp rock.
📢 Karan (calm but focused):
"Stay close. We can take it down… together."
---
[Panel 9]
The tiger swipes at Karan, who narrowly dodges, stabbing his spear into the ground to block it.
📢 Sound effect: CRAAASH!
---
[Panel 10]
Manish, panicking but brave, hurls a rock at the tiger's head. It snarls, distracted.
📢 Manish (yelling):
"HEY STRIPES! OVER HERE!"
---
[Panel 11]
Karan takes the chance, lunging with his spear and grazing the tiger's side. The beast roars in pain but doesn't fall.
📢 Karan (gritting teeth):
"We're not strong enough yet… but we can survive!"
--
The tiger crouches low, ready to pounce again. Karan and Manish stand side by side — one with a spear, the other with a stone, determined but terrified.
📢 Narration:
"The world is wild, dangerous, and unforgiving… but for the first time in 3000 years… mankind is fighting back."
