Chapter 9 - CHAPTER :9(THE NEW DANGER)

One Year Later — 2031

After Aja Ayavanth defeated John Walker, everyone returned to their normal lives and continued their work peacefully.

CBI Office

(Sakthivel and his team were doing their usual work.)

Devi: Sakthivel! Did you find any information about Ayavanth?

Sakthivel: No, Devi. There has been no trace of him since that incident.

Nagulan: I think Devi has fallen in love with the God.

Sagathevan: Ohhh! That's why you keep asking about him? Funny!

Sakthivel: Devi, really?

Devi: No, Sakthivel! How can I explain it?

Sakthivel: Devi, he is a God, and we are just mere humans.

Devi: Yeah, yeah, I know. He spent a lot of time with us, that's why I asked about him. Okay, I have to go.

Sakthivel: Devi, office hours aren't over yet. Why are you leaving?

Devi: I don't feel well, Sakthivel. Bye. See you tomorrow.

Sakthivel: Okay. Bye.

Devi's Home

(Devi was returning home. Along the way, she kept thinking about the moments she had spent with Ayavanth.)

Devi: Where are you, Ayavanth?

(Suddenly, a group of people appeared standing in front of Devi.)

Devi: Who are you all? Move out of my way.

(The people suddenly began transforming into arrogant-looking monsters.)

Devi: Oh, shit!

(The monsters attacked Devi.)

(Devi fought back and managed to defeat all of them.)

Devi: Wooo!

(Devi thought it was over.)

(But suddenly, more of them appeared and this time, they surrounded and restrained her.)

Devi: Leave me!

(Suddenly, a huge flash appeared in the sky.)

Devi: Who is that?

(A massive ball of fire suddenly fell from the sky toward the monsters.)

Devi: Sakthivel?

Sakthivel: It's been a year since I've fought like this.

Devi: Did you know about them?

Sakthivel: No. I don't know anything about them.

(Sakthivel and Devi fought together and defeated the monsters. Their bodies turned into ashes.)

Sakthivel: Someone is watching us, Devi. We have to be careful. Shall I come with you?

Devi: No, thanks, Sakthivel.

Sakthivel: Okay. Go safely.

Devi's House

(After that, Devi went home.)

Devi: Today was the worst day.

(She sat alone and began thinking about Aja Ayavanth.)

Devi: Argh! Why am I thinking like this?

Devi: He is a God, Devi. Don't think about him.

(Suddenly, someone entered her house.)

Devi: Who was that?

Mysterious Person: Me? I am your king.

The Next Morning

(Everyone gathered at the CBI office.)

Sakthivel: Nagulan, did you see Devi around here?

Nagulan: No, Sakthivel. I haven't seen her today.

Sakthivel: Ohhh.

Nagulan: By the way, where is Manthagini?

Sakthivel: She has taken ten days' leave.

Nagulan: What happened to her?

Sakthivel: She has a severe fever.

Nagulan: Oh! Why don't you go and see her?

Sakthivel: Why should I go? She doesn't need any disturbance.

Nagulan: But she needs someone she feels comfortable with.

Sakthivel: What are you talking about?

Nagulan: She loves you.

Sakthivel: What?

Nagulan: Yes. She loves you. But she doesn't have the courage to tell you because of your anger.

Sakthivel: When did this happen?

Nagulan: After Ayavanth defeated John Walker.

One Year Ago — After the John Walker Incident

Nagulan: Are you a God?

Ayavanth: Don't be shocked by this. There are many things you still have to know.

Sakthivel: What are we going to do now?

Ayavanth: I have to go, Sakthivel. Remember this: you have to control your emotions. Don't forget it. If you can control your emotions, you can become better than you ever imagined.

Sakthivel: Okay. Where are you going?

Ayavanth: I will return soon.

(Later, Manthagini approached Nagulan.)

Manthagini: Nagulan, I have to tell you something.

Nagulan: Yes, tell me, Manthagini.

Manthagini: I think I love him.

Nagulan: Who?

Manthagini: Sakthivel.

Nagulan: Hmm... nice selection. But he's an angry bird. How are you going to control him?

Manthagini: That's where my fear begins. What should I do now?

Nagulan: Go and tell him.

Manthagini: What? No!

Nagulan: Just tell him. If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Manthagini: (taking a deep breath) Okay.

(Manthagini began walking toward Sakthivel.)

Manthagini: You can do it... You can do it... You can do it...

(She stopped.)

Manthagini: No, you can't do it.

Nagulan: Why are you coming back?

Manthagini: I don't think this is the right time to tell him.

Nagulan: You're scared. I'll tell him.

Manthagini: Don't you dare! If you tell him, I'll kill you.

Nagulan: What?

Manthagini: Yes! I'll break your legs and cut your fingers.

Nagulan: You psycho!

Manthagini: I'll slash your body with a thousand cuts and play football with your severed head.

Nagulan: This is so diabolical!

Manthagini: Everything is diabolical.

(Suddenly, Sakthivel approached them.)

Sakthivel: What's happening here?

Manthagini: Nothing, Sakthivel.

Sakthivel: What happened, Nagulan?

Nagulan: Ahhhhh!

(Manthagini stepped on his foot.)

Nagulan: Ouch! Nothing, Sakthivel.

Sakthivel: Okay. We have to go.

Manthagini: Okay, let's go, Nagulan.

Nagulan: Sakthivel, you're going to be dead when you marry this woman.

Manthagini: Come on, Nagulan.

Nagulan: Yes, yes. I'm coming.

Present Time

Nagulan: That's what happened that day.

Sakthivel: It's been a year. Why hasn't she told me yet?

Nagulan: She's still afraid of you.

Sakthivel: I have to tell you something.

Nagulan: Oh God! You too? What?

Sakthivel: I love her too.

Nagulan: Do I look like a joker to both of you?

Sakthivel: No...

Nagulan: Then why don't you tell her?

Sakthivel: Because I don't want to bring her into my life. My life is filled with blood, war, and terrorism. My family died because of me. I don't want to put her life at risk.

Nagulan: Ohhh, so that's your problem. Sakthivel, now we're facing a God-level threat. All of this is just a minor matter. Your goal is to kill every terrorist, right? You will do that.

(Nagulan pauses.)

Nagulan: She is also a God—not a goddess. Is this how you treat your goddess? Just go and see her, man. You don't have to confess your love to her right now. But if you go and see her, she'll have the strength to face whatever comes next. Just do it for her. You go. I'll handle your work.

Sakthivel: Okay. I'll go and see her.

Nagulan: Good.

(Suddenly, Sagathevan entered the room. He looked exhausted.)

Sagathevan: Nagulan... Devi is missing.

Nagulan: What?

Sakthivel: What happened?

Sagathevan: Yesterday, someone entered her house and kidnapped her.

Nagulan: Who was it?

Sakthivel: It must be a God. She has God-level powers. If it were a human, she would have been able to handle him.

Nagulan: You're right. Now how are we going to find her?

Sakthivel: Sagathevan, you have the power of speed, right?

Sagathevan: Yes.

Sakthivel: Then I want you to think faster than the speed of light. If you can do that, you might be able to see the past and find out who kidnapped her. Is it possible?

Sagathevan: Yes, it's possible.

Nagulan: Okay. Let's do it.

(Sagathevan closed his eyes and began concentrating at a speed beyond human comprehension.)

Sagathevan: Come on... come on... come on...

Sagathevan: Sakthivel!

Sakthivel: What happened?

Sagathevan: I got it!

Nagulan: Yes!

Sagathevan: Someone was following Devi to her house. Then she became tired.

Sakthivel: Okay, then what happened?

Sagathevan: Devi asked, "Who was that?" And the person told her, "I am your king." Then he used an extremely powerful arrow against her. She fainted, and he took her away.

Sakthivel: Okay. Where was he going?

Sagathevan: He was going toward the top of the Earth.

Sakthivel: Next! Next!

(Sagathevan suddenly stopped and came out of his concentration.)

Sagathevan: I'm sorry, Sakthivel. I can't see anything beyond that.

Sakthivel: It's okay.

Nagulan: Don't worry. We have a clue.

Sakthivel: What's the clue?

Nagulan: "I am your king."

Sakthivel: What's the clue in that?

Nagulan: He said, "I am your king." That means he's talking about our king.

Sakthivel: What do you mean?

Nagulan: Who is the King of the Devas?

Sakthivel: Indhiran.

Nagulan: Exactly.

Sagathevan: But why would he do that?

Sakthivel: That's what we have to find out.

Nagulan: What should we do now?

(Sakthivel, Nagulan, and Sagathevan began thinking about what to do next.)

Sakthivel: I've got an idea. Why don't we contact Devaguru?

Nagulan: Hmm... okay, but how?

Sakthivel: We possess the powers of the Devargals. The souls of the previous Devargals are also trapped within our bodies. If we go to Devalokam, it could be dangerous for us.

Nagulan: Why?

Sakthivel: Because the last time we received these powers, we lost control of ourselves because of those souls. We eventually managed to control them. But if we see Indhiran again, their souls may take control of us once more. Indhiran was the main reason for their deaths.

Sagathevan: So what do we do?

Sakthivel: We can't go to Devalokam. But we can call Devaguru here.

Nagulan: How?

Sakthivel: Over the past year, I've learned many things about these powers.

Nagulan: Okay, then. Do it.

Sakthivel: Okay.

(Sakthivel began chanting a powerful mantra.)

(A small cloud of mist slowly formed around them.)

Sagathevan: Is it working?

(Suddenly, Devaguru appeared before them.)

(Everyone immediately greeted Devaguru respectfully.)

Devaguru: Nice to meet you, Adhithan.

Nagulan: Who is Adhithan?

Sakthivel: I am not Adhithan. I am Sakthivel.

Devaguru: I know. Sorry, Sakthivel.
