Ch.13: Return & Formation of INA

________________________________________________________________________________

Aryan's journey across Europe and to America was not just about intellectual pursuits; it was also a meticulously planned operation to amass resources for his future endeavors. Utilizing his advanced knowledge and abilities, Aryan created clones of himself, each transformed to look like different individuals. These clones were tasked with acquiring and selling valuable products such as gold, gems, and artifacts in the black market.

The clones operated with precision, navigating the underworld markets of cities like Paris, Berlin, and Rome. They sold the items discreetly, ensuring that no single transaction drew too much attention. The money they acquired was in the form of various currencies, which Aryan then funneled into numerous shell companies he had established across Europe and America.

These shell companies served as fronts for his financial operations, allowing him to transfer and consolidate the money without raising suspicion. Aryan's strategy was to use these funds to establish a bank in India, which would serve as the financial backbone for his future projects. This bank would not only fund his various companies but also support a secret organization he was building.

This organization, comprised mostly of blessed individuals or metahumans as Aryan liked to call them, was being nurtured throughout the Indian regions, including Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma. These individuals had unique abilities, and Aryan saw them as key players in his vision for India's future. He provided them with training, resources, and a sense of purpose, preparing them for the roles they would play in the coming years.

As Aryan's clones continued their operations, he maintained a low profile, focusing on his public engagements and intellectual contributions. His speech at Princeton University had opened doors to new opportunities, and he used these connections to further his plans. Despite the distance, Aryan kept in close contact with his allies back in India, including Shakti and Karna, ensuring that they were aligned with his vision.

When the time came for Aryan to return to India, he did so with a sense of accomplishment. He had successfully amassed a significant amount of money, established a network of shell companies, and laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. As he boarded the ship back to India, Aryan's thoughts turned to Subhash Chandra Bose, who was making various moves and preparing for the formation of the Indian National Army (INA).

Aryan knew that the coming years would be crucial for India's independence. With the resources and network he had built, he was ready to support the cause in any way he could. His return to India marked the beginning of a new chapter, one where his vision for a free and prosperous nation would start to take shape. Aryan's journey had been long and challenging, but he was more determined than ever to see his dreams realized.

As Aryan stepped off the ship, he was greeted by the familiar sights and sounds of his homeland. His heart swelled with emotion as he spotted his family waiting for him. Ravi, Lakshmi, Shakti, and his best friend Karna stood eagerly at the dock, their faces lighting up with joy as they saw him.

Shakti was the first to reach him, her smile radiant as she threw her arms around him in a tight hug. "Aryan! We've missed you so much!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with warmth and affection. Aryan, slightly embarrassed by the public display of affection, blushed as he noticed how beautiful Shakti had become. Her eyes sparkled with happiness, and her presence felt like a comforting embrace after his long journey.

Ravi, Lakshmi, and Karna watched the scene with amusement. "Welcome back, Aryan," Ravi said, clapping him on the back. "It's good to have you home."

Lakshmi, ever the caring mother, quickly added, "You must be starving after such a long trip. Let's get you home and have a proper meal."

As they made their way home, Aryan felt a sense of peace and belonging. The familiar streets and the warmth of his family's presence made him realize how much he had missed them. Once they arrived, Lakshmi wasted no time in serving a delicious spread of food, and they all gathered upon the mat.

Over lunch, Aryan shared stories of his travels, carefully omitting the details about his financial operations and secret plans. He spoke of the people he met, the places he visited, and the intellectual pursuits that had kept him busy. His family listened with rapt attention, their pride and admiration evident in their eyes.

"You've achieved so much, Aryan," Karna said, his voice filled with respect. "We're all so proud of you."

Shakti, her eyes shining with determination, added, "Karna and I have also been working hard. We've graduated early from school, following in your footsteps. We want to join you in your cause, Aryan. We're ready to help in any way we can."

Aryan looked at Shakti and Karna, their faces full of resolve and commitment. He felt a surge of pride and happiness. "I'm glad to hear that," he said, his voice steady. "Your support means the world to me. Together, we can achieve great things."

Ravi and Lakshmi nodded in agreement, their expressions supportive and encouraging. Aryan knew that with his family's unwavering support and the determination of Shakti and Karna, they could face any challenge that lay ahead. This moment marked the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with hope, unity, and the promise of a brighter future for their nation.

In the days that followed his return, Aryan wasted no time in making arrangements for a crucial meeting with Subhash Chandra Bose. He knew that aligning their efforts was essential for the success of their shared vision for India's independence. Aryan's network of contacts facilitated a discreet rendezvous in a secluded location, away from prying eyes.

The meeting took place In an old, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Calcutta. As Aryan entered the dimly lit space, he saw Bose waiting for him, his presence commanding and resolute. Bose's eyes, sharp and intense, reflected his unwavering determination to free India from British rule.

"Aryan, it's good to finally meet you," Bose greeted him with a firm handshake. "I've heard much about your efforts and the resources you've amassed."

"Likewise, Bose," Aryan replied, matching his intensity. "I believe our collaboration can bring about the change we both seek."

They sat down at a makeshift table, maps and documents spread out before them. Aryan began outlining his plans, detailing the advanced weapons and artillery he had developed in various hidden bases across the country. He spoke of the strategic advantages they could leverage.

"Our bases are equipped with the latest technology," Aryan explained. "We've been manufacturing weapons that can give us a significant advantage. I propose we integrate these resources with the INA's operations."

Bose listened intently, his mind racing with the possibilities. "Your resources could indeed be a game-changer," he acknowledged. "But we must be cautious. The British are not only 'our' enemies, Germany and Japan have their own grudges with them. They can help us."

Aryan nodded, understanding Bose's concerns. "I agree. While their support might seem beneficial, their expansionist ambitions pose a threat to our sovereignty. That's why I've taken additional precautions."

Bose's expression hardened. "We need their support, Aryan. Without it, our chances are slim. The British Empire is too powerful."

Aryan leaned forward, his voice firm. "Bose, we can and will achieve independence on our own. Relying on foreign powers will only trade one oppressor for another. Our people have the strength and the will to fight. We must trust in our own capabilities."

Bose shook his head, still unconvinced. "The INA needs more than just hope and determination. We need tangible support."

Aryan's eyes blazed with conviction. "We have the resources, Bose. Advanced weapons, strategic plans, and the unwavering spirit of our people. We don't need to compromise our future by aligning with those who have their own imperialistic goals."

Bose remained silent, contemplating Aryan's words. Finally, he spoke, his voice softer but still resolute. "I understand your concerns, Aryan. But the path ahead is fraught with challenges. We must be prepared for every eventuality."

Aryan nodded. "And we will be. Together, we can lead our nation to freedom without external interference. Trust in our strength, Bose."

With their discussion concluded, Aryan knew that the future of their collaboration hung in the balance. As he left the warehouse, he felt a renewed sense of purpose. The days ahead would be challenging, but with the resources and network he had built, Aryan was ready to face whatever came their way.

Back at his base, Aryan began coordinating with his leaders, ensuring that all preparations were in place. He knew that the stakes were high, but he was determined to see his vision for a free and prosperous India realized. The journey was far from over, but with allies like Bose and the unwavering support of his family, Aryan felt confident that they could overcome any obstacle in their path.

In secret, Aryan had also prepared a group of shadow soldiers, trained to disguise themselves and infiltrate the INA if necessary. This covert force was his contingency plan, ensuring that if Bose became too stubborn in his approach to bring in Germany and Japan with their genocidal armies, Aryan could intervene and steer the movement back on course.

As Aryan continued to solidify his plans, Shakti and Karna became more involved in his operations. Shakti, with her tomboyish demeanor and unwavering loyalty, was a force to be reckoned with. She had always been fiercely protective of Aryan, and her feelings for him only fueled her determination to support his cause.

Karna, ever the realist, provided a grounded perspective that balanced Aryan's ambitious plans. He was Aryan's confidant and strategist, always ready to offer practical solutions and support. His unwavering friendship and loyalty were invaluable to Aryan, especially during the most challenging times.

One evening, as they gathered in Aryan's study, Shakti voiced her concerns. "Aryan, I know you believe we can achieve independence without foreign help, but the INA is struggling. We need to be prepared for every possibility."

Aryan looked at her, his eyes filled with determination. "I understand, Shakti. That's why I've had some of my most loyal subordinates infiltrate the INA. If Bose insists on involving Germany and Japan, we'll have a contingency plan in place."

Karna nodded in agreement. "It's a smart move, Aryan. We need to be ready for anything. But we also need to ensure that our people are united and motivated. The British won't go down without a fight."

Aryan smiled, appreciating their support. "You're right, Karna. We'll continue to train and prepare our forces. And Shakti, your dedication means the world to me. Together, we'll see this through."

As the days turned into weeks, Aryan's network of metahumans grew stronger. They trained tirelessly, honing their abilities and preparing for the inevitable confrontation with the British forces. Aryan's bank in India became a crucial financial hub, funding the resistance and supporting the secret organization he had built.

The infiltrators, trained to blend in and gather intelligence, proved to be an invaluable asset. They secured key positions within the INA, ensuring that Aryan's vision remained on course. Their presence provided a safety net, ready to intervene if Bose's plans veered too far from Aryan's ideals.

In the months that followed, Aryan, Shakti, and Karna continued to work tirelessly. Their bond grew stronger, united by their shared purpose and unwavering determination. Aryan's network of metahumans expanded, and their influence spread across the region.

As the day of India's independence drew nearer, Aryan stood with his family and friends, looking out over the horizon. The journey had been long and arduous, but they had persevered. With Shakti and Karna by his side, Aryan felt a profound sense of accomplishment and hope for the future.
