17 CONCEPTION

Usman was a very curious kid. He was like that since the day he was born. He always wanted to nag everyone about something and craves for it the entire day long. As a kid, he continuously asked his sister about genitals, on and on, until she gave up in front of him. He used to be a brat to know his father's salary, his mother's occupation, and everything else which wasn't supposed to be known.

He is now 16 years old, a little bit mature, but a real technician. He is the boy who saw the eyes of the storm when it struck for the very first time. It has been weeks after the incident, still, he couldn't believe what he saw, and wants to go back there to find out what happened that night. So one evening, he found his parents were going to Pune for some work, his sister is out and he is completely alone. So that evening he decided to sneak out of their home, grabbed a motorcycle and rushed towards Mahabaleshwar, which was 12 km from Kamalpur, where he was now.

He arrived there in 2hours, and when he reached there, he found more destruction than he last saw. And to his horror, he found 2-3 taxidermist animals, climbing up to him and trying to suck his blood. All this terrified him and he started running. While running, he comes across the bridge, where he sees it completely devastated, and to his surprise, there were 4 youngsters standing there. They were no one else but Sumit and his team, ready to go inside the mansion to save his father. Usman overhears their plan, to go inside, split into groups of 2 and then rescue his father.

"I won't tolerate any more causalities, I already have had enough, let's give our best shot to protect my father."

'You told me that there will be no more casualties. You can't promise that Neither can I. But I know that No matter what, We will fight till the end. Side by side. Let's fight.'

Everyone responded positively, and with this, they ran towards the mansion, which was in the centre of the huge Galol Lake. Usman tries to follow them later after he is done getting the answer to his question.

He looks around the lake, bridge to find out something. He sees the four of them totally out of range. As he was searching the bridge, he saw the sand particles were slowly starting to assemble each other, and then in the split of seconds, it was in the form of a humanoid character.

Usman looks around, unaware of the creature behind it. As soon as he turns around, he is grabbed by the neck, choking his throat, the creature was starting to suck all the life energy of Usman inside him. But Usman was a bit of a stronger side, he kicked him in the junk, which freed him from his hold.

He started to run around and tried hard to hide, but he was found every time and was overwhelmed. He realizes that this was the storm he and his villagers saw weeks back. The monster finally revealed his name, "Azorah". Seeing the physical characteristics of the Azorah, and seeing a hydro pump and a car engine lying in front of him, he planned his attack.

He quickly connected the hydro-pump to the car engine and threw the pipe of the hydro pumps into the lake itself. He saw Azorah trying to assemble lightning, which Usman decided to use as a power supply. He intentionally came out in front of him and taunted him to use his electric shock.

Azorah, filled with rage, in response to his humiliation, shoots the strongest thunder strike that it has ever done. As soon as he let it all out, Usman places the wires in front of him, resulting in the charging to the engine, and which brings a huge current of water towards Azorah, thus disintegrating him into nothingness.

Usman always had victory whenever it comes to technology as he knew he was the master of his work. As he was contented with his work, and it was night and the moon was fresh, he decided to head back home, as he was tired and was having a hard time to accept what he saw.

As soon as he approached the end of the bridge, the entire thing started to shake as if it was an earthquake, and the bridge broke into half, from both the ends. Ironically, it broke from the ends which were the only route to return home, basically signifying the realities have been altered and Usman, along with Sumit and his friends was stuck into the world of dead, where things that aren't supposed to happen will happen.

Usman tried to call the cops for his aide, but the place didn't even have networks. His motorcycle was also left on the other side of the bridge. Having highly regretting his decision, he started walking towards the mansion along the misty roads, hoping to meet the people he saw and work as a team with them.

Sumit and others also felt the impact of the earthquake in the midway, still on the foggy road towards the mansion. To which Steven replied "Our worlds have joined, now there is no way to return. We have to defeat Kaiser in order to escape this, but...I am afraid that's a very rare possibility."

Ipsita, very worried asked "Do you think we can find them here? Why don't we kill them?" "Killing them won't help, we need to erase their existence. People of our world are totally unaware of this world, and we must not let them enter our world for chaos. We have to stop them right here and right now", said by an energetic Sumit. By this, Sanjana had figured out the way to enter the mansion.

As soon as they ran around the mansion, Sumit came across the same window that he saw in his dreams, and through the window, there were stairs, through which came down Ananya, in the bride's gown, but suddenly she turned into a terrific monster like before, and he ran. While running he tripped and fell over Ipsita, making both of the blush.

Sumit, apologizing to her "Sorry, I never wanted to fall over you, I mean. I was trying to say...." Ipsita, totally flushed by all this says "I will settle the score next time, let's go!" and they continued going their way. Even while running, Sumit was continuously thinking why Ananya ended up this way.

Inside the mansion, Rakesh was held captive by the human who controls the dead, and then came his assistant, who was also playing a vital role in their advent in Mahabaleshwar.

Rakesh felt like he was dead already, after he saw her evil smile, as he thought to himself that it was merely the conception.
