The declaration of war from the SCW’s Chief Executive sent shockwaves across the world. The media buzzed with speculation, nations scrambled to take sides, and military forces began mobilising in preparation for the conflict. The war that had simmered beneath the surface was now ready to erupt.

  But Yash, standing in the heart of his kingdom. His soldiers were battle-hardened, trained to defend their home and fight for their king. And now, with Theodore and his warriors training them in the art of hand-to-hand combat, they were more formidable than ever.

  As tensions escalated, despite the SCW declaring war on Yash but they still had to find Yash’s kingdom lay deep beneath the vast oceans , its exact location was unknown to the SCW and the world. Rumours of its existence circulated, but no one had ever found it. The SCW mobilised their forces, hoping to draw Yash out, but they had no idea how close—or far—they were from his hidden domain.

  The declaration of war wasn’t just between Yash and the SCW. Nations were now forced to choose sides in this global conflict. SCW’s member nations—Britain, the USA, Russia, China, India, and Australia—were bound to engage. However, political tensions were high, and not all nations complied. China and Australia backed out of the conflict, while Russia and India openly sided with Yash. Other countries like Japan, South Korea, France, and Italy supported Yash, causing a rift in global alliances. The world was divided, and the stage was set for World War III.

  Despite not knowing Yash’s exact location, the SCW sent out their forces, targeting various areas they believed could be connected to his operations. The first clash occurred near Florida, where Yash’s forces, including a mix of elite soldiers and Theodore’s warriors, engaged SCW forces in a brutal battle. Soldiers fought in tight hand-to-hand combat, trained by Theodore himself. Explosions rang out as drones, submarines, and soldiers clashed, with the ocean waves reflecting the light of battle.

  The SCW underestimated the strength and discipline of Yash’s army, and by the end of the first day, the battlefield was littered with casualties. Yash’s forces had lost 10 soldiers, but SCW’s losses were far greater—30 of their elite soldiers had fallen.

  As the war progressed into its second day, tension grew within the Param Yodha team. Pavak (Pratab), Yash’s close friend and the calm leader of the team, had to make a decision. He couldn’t turn a blind eye to the conflict any longer. The team gathered to decide: would they stand by Yash or remain neutral? Pavak, determined to prevent Yash from losing himself in the war, chose to confront him directly.

  Their confrontation began in the heart of the battlefield. Pavak, controlling his fierce fire powers, flew high above the ground, surveying the chaos. His eyes locked onto Navi (Yash), who was standing in the midst of the battle, wielding his Trishul.

  With a burst of fiery energy, Pavak summoned a blade made entirely of fire from his hand and flew straight at Navi. In one swift strike, Pavak knocked Navi to the ground, the heat from the blade scorching his armor.

  Before Navi could recover, Pavak hurled a massive fireball directly at him. The fireball struck with immense force, sending Navi crashing into the earth, leaving him momentarily stunned.

  But Navi wasn’t down for long. The power of his armor surged, absorbing the energy from the fireball. With newfound strength, Navi stood up and unleashed the fireball back at Pavak, amplified by his armor’s energy. Pavak narrowly dodged, the fireball missing him by inches as it exploded in the air behind him.

  Hovering above, Pavak glared down at Navi, his eyes burning with determination. He launched a barrage of fire attacks, each one faster and hotter than the last. Navi, using the power of his Trishul, countered with torrents of water, creating an intense storm of steam and heat around them. The battlefield around them trembled as fire and water clashed in a violent dance.

  As the two leaders fought, the war raged on around them. SCW forces, despite not knowing Yash’s kingdom’s secret location, continued to launch attacks in hopes of drawing him out. They spread their assault across multiple fronts, hoping to find a clue, but Yash’s forces, well-prepared and expertly trained, continued to fend them off.

  Theodore, who had trained Yash’s soldiers, led his warriors into the fray. His combat skills and tactical brilliance gave Yash’s forces an edge, as they pushed back the SCW in a series of intense skirmishes. John (Vidyut), with his lightning speed, intercepted missiles and drones before they could hit their targets, while Kritav (Chromo) absorbed the energy from SCW’s weapons, redirecting it back toward their enemies.

  As Navi and Pavak’s battle continued, the tide of war began to shift. Pavak, soaring above the battlefield, unleashed his most powerful fire attack yet, raining down fiery meteors toward Navi. The battlefield lit up in a blaze of destruction, with soldiers scattering to avoid the burning inferno.

  But Navi, with the power of his Trishul, summoned a massive wave of water that surged forward, extinguishing the flames and washing away SCW soldiers in its wake. Pavak, seeing his attacks fail, descended rapidly, ready for another strike. He conjured his fiery blade once more and slashed at Navi, but this time Navi was ready. He blocked the strike with his Trishul, their weapons clashing with a deafening roar.

  As the fierce battle raged on, Yash and Pavak clashed. Amidst the chaos, Pavak hit the Trishul which got embedded in the ground, gleaming ominously and drawing the attention of everyone around.

  “Get Yash’s Trishul!” Pavak shouted, eyeing the weapon like a hawk. “We can’t let him have it!”

  At the same time, Abhimanyu and Theodore stood on Yash's side, their eyes locked on the Trishul. “We need to get that back!” Abhimanyu exclaimed.

  “I got this!” Theodore said, charging forward with determination. He approached the Trishul, bent down, and gripped it tightly. But as he pulled, his feet slid on the ground. “It’s stuck! I think it’s using some kind of magical adhesive!” he yelled, straining with all his might.

  “Let me try!” Abhimanyu said, stepping in to assist. They both tugged at the Trishul together, but it didn’t budge. “Maybe it’s a test of strength or something,” he suggested, panting slightly.

  “Or maybe it just doesn’t like you guys!” John shouted from the sidelines, laughing.

  Suddenly, Sarah and Dhruv joined in, rushing toward Trishul. “We can’t let them get it!” Sarah shouted, pushing past Abhimanyu and Theodore. She grabbed the Trishul’s shaft, but it remained firmly planted in the ground. “It’s like it has a mind of its own!”

  “Come on, everyone!” Dhruv yelled, charging in alongside her. “On the count of three! One… two…” They both pulled, but still, the Trishul wouldn’t budge.

  At that moment, a group of SCW soldiers caught sight of the weapon and made a beeline for it. “Forget Yash! We’ll take the Trishul!” one soldier shouted, diving toward the weapon with arms outstretched.

  “Not if we get it first!” Abhimanyu exclaimed, launching himself forward, and accidentally tackling a soldier out of the way.

  The chaos escalated as everyone—friends and foes alike—swarmed around the Trishul, each trying to grasp its power. “Maybe it just wants to be left alone!” Theodore joked, watching the spectacle unfold.

  “It’s not a pet, Theo!” Abhimanyu shot back, grinning. “But it sure is causing a commotion!”

  As everyone struggled, the scene became a slapstick comedy, with people slipping, tripping over each other, and hurling playful insults. “Do you even lift, bro?” John called to a nearby SCW soldier who was futilely yanking on the Trishul.

  Just then, in the midst of the chaos, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Yash. He focused, and in an instant, the Trishul broke free from the ground, flying through the air. Everyone froze, eyes wide, as it soared toward its rightful owner.

  “Guess we didn’t need to worry about it after all,” Theodore said, chuckling nervously.

  “Yeah, let’s just stick to cheering him on,” Abhimanyu replied, shaking his head with a smile as they all turned to watch Yash reclaim his Trishul, ready to continue the fight.

  The fight became even more brutal as both warriors pushed their powers to the limit. The battlefield around them was a scene of devastation—soldiers from both sides fought tooth and nail, but the centre of attention remained Navi and Pavak’s intense battle.

  Despite the fierce battle, the location of Yash’s kingdom remained a secret, leaving SCW frustrated in their search. Their war efforts were met with continuous resistance, and though they had declared war, they were no closer to uncovering the hidden kingdom beneath the Bermuda Triangle.

  As the sun set and the battlefield grew quieter, the war paused, just as Yash had demanded in his ancient war traditions. But both sides knew this was only the beginning. World War III had truly begun, and the battles ahead promised to be even more destructive.

  Got it! Let's extend the timeline to make this war feel like a true "World War," spreading across multiple days and showing how each day introduces new battles, strategies, and increasing devastation. The war will now stretch out over time, with both sides enduring heavy losses, and some days leading to victories while others bring setbacks.

  The first day of the war was only the beginning. As the sun set on the battlefield, the tension remained high, but both sides called a temporary ceasefire to regroup, recover, and plan their next moves. But the world knew this was not an end—it was merely a pause. Yash’s forces, though bruised, were resilient, while the SCW prepared to renew their offensive.

  At dawn on the second day, the war resumed. The SCW, still unaware of Yash’s kingdom’s secret location beneath the Bermuda Triangle, launched more extensive and focused attacks across several fronts. They targeted key military strongholds in allied nations—India, Russia, and Japan—hoping to weaken Yash’s allies. Fighter jets screamed across the skies, while warships positioned in the oceans unleashed powerful missile barrages. The conflict had now expanded to a truly global scale, involving all continents.

  In **India**SCW forces attempted to destabilise Yash’s support by sending covert operatives to disable the communication networks of his allies. However, Yash’s army, with Theodore’s warriors at the helm, detected the sabotage and responded swiftly. In a series of brutal hand-to-hand skirmishes, the SCW's operatives were neutralised, but not before they caused significant damage to India’s defences.

  In **Russia**, Yash’s forces came under heavy air assault as SCW drones and jets attacked critical infrastructure. But John (Vidyut), with his unparalleled speed, dismantled several SCW jets mid-air, sending them crashing into the frozen Siberian plains below. His agility and ability to strike quickly and vanish made it impossible for SCW forces to pin him down.

  Meanwhile, **Japan**, another of Yash’s strongest supporters, saw SCW’s navy attempt to blockade the islands. However, Yash’s forces—hidden in deep-sea bases—emerged from unexpected directions, ambushing the SCW fleet in coordinated underwater strikes. These bases had been strategically placed far from the kingdom’s location, keeping the Bermuda Triangle a mystery to SCW while misleading them about Yash’s true defences.

  On the second day, the tension between Navi and Pavak erupted once more. The battlefield had moved to a remote location in **Russia**, where Yash and his forces sought to defend one of their strategic outposts. Pavak, still torn between his loyalty to Yash and his desire to prevent further bloodshed, confronted Navi again.

  Hovering in the air, Pavak unleashed a cascade of fiery meteors toward Navi, hoping to overwhelm him. Navi, undeterred, raised his Trishul and summoned a colossal wall of water that shot into the sky. The meteors collided with the water, creating an explosion of steam that blanketed the battlefield. Through the haze, Navi’s voice rang out.

  “You can’t stop me, Pavak. This war is bigger than you or me now. The SCW will destroy everything if we don’t stop them.”

  Pavak, still flying above, shook his head. “Is this really what you want, Yash? Look at the destruction around you. People are dying, and for what? Your kingdom? Your pride?”

  “Freedom!” Navi’s voice was sharp as he hurled a blast of energy toward Pavak. The strike was powerful, but Pavak dodged, circling high above. He responded by forming a massive fireball in his hand and launching it downward at Navi, scorching the earth where he stood.

  But Navi had anticipated the attack. He absorbed the heat from the fireball with his armor, using the energy to charge his Trishul, which now glowed with radiant power. With a swift motion, he sent a torrent of water up toward Pavak, striking him mid-air. Pavak stumbled but regained his balance, flames flaring around him as he steadied himself.

  The battle between the two raged on for hours. Soldiers on both sides stopped to watch, their leaders’ duel becoming the focal point of the day. Yet despite their clashes, neither could gain a clear upper hand. Both were too powerful, too evenly matched.

  By the third day, the SCW realized that brute force alone wouldn’t win the war. They initiated cyber warfare, launching massive attacks against Yash’s digital infrastructure. Their aim was to cripple Yash’s communications, making it harder for him to coordinate with his global allies. Though the SCW didn’t know the exact location of his kingdom, they hoped to cut off all outside support.

  Yash’s forces were prepared. Vikram, one of Yash’s most trusted advisors, had anticipated this move and developed countermeasures. Firewalls and counter-hack systems had been established weeks before the war began. The SCW made some progress, but it was limited. Yash’s kingdom remained hidden, and his network mostly intact.

  At sea, **Theodore** led underwater missions, sabotaging SCW submarines as they patrolled near suspected locations. His warriors, trained for combat in the ocean, struck with precision. Day after day, SCW submarines found themselves outmaneuvered by Yash’s forces, losing critical assets and personnel.

  However, SCW's persistence paid off in one area. They captured several of Yash's operatives during a covert mission in **South America**, giving them valuable intelligence. Though the information wasn't about Yash’s kingdom, it hinted at key figures in his army, enabling SCW to plot more surgical strikes.

  By the end of the first week, the war had spread across every continent. Whole North america was in an emergency. The SCW, despite their overwhelming resources and holding superpowered countries, found themselves locked in a war they couldn’t easily win. Yash’s kingdom remained elusive, and his allies showed no signs of abandoning him. Meanwhile, Yash’s forces had taken significant losses, but they remained determined.

  As the conflict entered its second week, one thing became clear: this war wouldn’t end quickly. The battle for the future of the world had only just begun.

  The battlefield was ablaze with the echoes of war. Yash, bruised but undeterred, stood tall amidst the devastation. His eyes gleamed with defiance as Pavak hovered overhead, flames flickering in his hands. John dashed around at blinding speeds, but Yash’s water-based attacks and strategic movements kept him ahead of their assaults.

  Despite the intense pressure from his old comrades, Yash fought like a king. His mastery over his armor and the power of his Trishul kept Pavak and John at bay. The two of them combined were relentless, but Yash was faster, smarter, and more determined.

  “I’ll make you regret this, Pavak!” Yash shouted as he blocked another fireball with a wave of water, the flames evaporating in a cloud of steam. With a swift motion, he summoned the full power of his Trishul, slamming it into the ground. The impact created a shockwave, knocking Pavak back and forcing John to retreat temporarily.

  Yash grinned. He was gaining the upper hand, overwhelming them with his sheer skill and resilience.

  As Pavak rose into the air, attempting to regain control, John zipped back and forth, trying to find an opening. Yash swirled his water around him like a shield, blocking every attempt. It seemed like victory was within his grasp.

  Suddenly, a flash of movement caught Yash’s eye. From the chaos, Chromo—Kritav—charged forward, his hand outstretched. Before Yash could react, Chromo touched his armor, and everything changed in an instant.

  Chromo’s ability to absorb and mimic materials kicked in, and his body transformed. The material of Yash’s powerful armor spread over Chromo’s entire form, hardening his skin into the same nearly indestructible substance. The white glossy armor now covered Chromo’s body, giving him immense strength and durability.

  “What the—” Yash gasped, realizing what had just happened.

  Chromo grinned menacingly as he flexed his newly armored body. “You didn’t think you were the only one who could wear this armor, did you?”

  Without hesitation, Chromo reformed his arm into a massive hammer, the weight of Yash’s own armor lending it terrifying force. In a blur of motion, Chromo swung the hammer down, aiming directly at Yash.

  Yash barely managed to block the first hit, but the sheer power behind Chromo’s attacks was overwhelming. The force of the blows sent tremors through the ground, and Yash struggled to stay on his feet. He summoned the strength of his armor and Trishul, countering as best he could, but Chromo was relentless.

  Blow after blow rained down on him as Chromo's hammer-like fists pounded against Yash’s defenses. Each strike reverberated through Yash’s body, weakening his stance, pushing him closer and closer to the brink of collapse.

  “Stay down, Yash!” Chromo yelled as he swung his hammer again, his attacks gaining speed and ferocity. “You can’t win this!”

  Yash gritted his teeth, refusing to give up. He had fought too hard to fall now. He blocked another strike, only for Chromo to transform his fist into a spiked mace, slamming it into Yash’s side. The blow sent Yash flying across the battlefield, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.

  John appeared next to Chromo, his lightning-fast movements blurring as he landed a series of rapid punches, further disorienting Yash. Pavak, seeing the opportunity, sent a final fireball crashing down onto Yash, forcing him into the dirt.

  Yash, dazed and struggling, tried to push himself back up, but Chromo was already on him again. Chromo’s fist transformed into a colossal hammer once more, and with one final, devastating strike, he brought it down onto Yash’s chest, knocking the wind out of him.

  Yash collapsed, his armor cracked and weakened. He tried to summon the energy to stand, but his body refused to respond. His vision blurred as exhaustion and the sheer force of Chromo’s attacks took their toll.

  “You fought well, Navi,” Pavak said, landing softly next to him, his voice calm but resolute. “But this is the end.”

  Yash struggled to catch his breath, his mind racing. He wasn’t just fighting for himself—he was fighting for his kingdom, for his people. But in this moment, as his allies stood victorious over him, defeat seemed inevitable.

  Seeing Yash defeated, Theodore and Abhimanyu tried to rush to his side, but John intercepted them with blinding speed, landing precise blows that incapacitated them both. They too fell, their bodies bruised and bloodied, unable to help their fallen leader.

  Panting, Yash reached for his commlink one last time, his fingers trembling. "General... teleport the remaining soldiers... back to the kingdom."

  The command was given, and in the blink of an eye, Yash’s loyal forces vanished from the battlefield, safely transported back to their hidden sanctuary under the Bermuda
