Tik! Boooooooooom! A loud explosion sent UskiDum lying face down in the muck. The President's men, no, the President's mercenaries had finally caught up with them. They had counted their chickens before they hatched. Suddenly Maa Ki Aankh sounded eons away. Just as they were thinking through their plan of action a second missile dug a deep crater just a few meters from them. This was not going to be easy. They'd have to give their everything. The odds were in favor of them dying. Sigh! What is it with the 25th century and super heroes. Were they not meant to be?
Like a bolt of lightening, the words spoken by their guru, their mentor, rang in their ears. "When the world spits in your face and your searching for the place where it all started, you will be blessed with powers you would never have imagined you could possess. It will then help you fulfill your life's purpose. ". Life had spit in their face, the two scud missiles had more than just done that with Uskidum. They were searching for the place where it all started. It was Maa ki Aaankh. This was their guru's prophecy. They were to be blessed with special powers.
But everything happening around them was telling them otherwise as yet another scud dug yet another gaping hole, this time behind where they were holed up. Frustration was creeping in as they realized they were no match for these armed mercenaries without their special powers. In a rare out burst of rage MainDuniyaKoBachaoonga yelled, "Aaaaaargh!!! I will save this world and you will not stop me". He raised his hand holding it up parallel to the ground. What happened next caught everyone including the Save Your Skins off guard. A jet of blue pulsating light blanketed one whole company of the mercenaries, wiping them out into oblivion.
An instant later it all fell together for the Save Your Skins, like the pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle. Their powers were either their inherent qualities or were hidden in their names. MainDuniyaKoBachaoonga's power was his controlled aggression which he could wield into pulsating, destructive beams of light. GolBottom's was his hopelessly heavy weight. He could use it to bounce of the missiles heading their way. He was their defense mechanism. He was their insurance policy. UskiDum as his name suggested could wield a long swooping tail which could hold captive over a 1000 troops at a time. Mahanaatma could suck the life force, a person's soul, out of who ever he deemed unnecessary baggage.
With this new revelation for the Save Your skins, there was a new sting in their tail. Their depleting morale had bobbed back up and shot through the roof. MainDuniyaKoBachaoonga and GolBottom teamed up. While GolBottom provided cover from the scuds, MainDuniyaKoBachaoonga set about wiping out company after company into oblivion. From a crouching position, MainDuniyaKoBachaoonga jumped over an approaching missile, rolling over it and landing on his feet. Stretching hi hand out, he let a bolt of pulsating blue light through his hands. The troops in front felt for a moment, the vibrations caused by the powerful bolt of light before they ceased to exist in any form or shape. Mahanaatma and UskiDum were equally at work. While UskiDum scooped up groups of soldiers into the deadly clutches of his long tail, Mahanaatma sucked the souls out the hapless soldiers. Each soul making him stronger and more powerful than the one before.
Company after company was wiped out in a matter minutes. The President's men had fallen. Those who had not, went scampering away to their evil master with news of the great powers possessed by their master's chief enemies, The Save Your Skins.
The battle for Faltu Jagah was won. Maa Ki Aankh itself however remained unconquered.
