Dim Cave – Nighttime, Firelight flickers across the faces of Khan, Lucy, and Phantom.]
Bhola sits cross-legged near the fire. His beast-like silhouette shifts with the flames. Silence looms. Then—
Bhola (gruff but steady):
"It's time you all learned the truth… The story of the Subjects. How all of this really began."
Lucy looks confused, leans forward.
Lucy:
"How do you know so much, Bhola?"
Bhola's gaze sharpens. He breathes in deeply, then speaks:
Bhola:
"Because… I am the son of Dr. Vikrant."
Shock flashes on Khan and Phantom's faces.
Bhola (voice low, heavy with memory):
"He was once a good man. A scientist… a father. He used to smile."
Flashback begins: A warm home, a young Bhola playing with his pet rabbit. Laughter.
Bhola (voice-over):
"But one night, he returned home… changed. Full of rage. Something was broken inside him."
Dr. Vikrant bursts in. He shoots the rabbit. Bhola screams. His mother runs to protect him.
Bhola (voice-over):
"He killed my pet… then shot my mother. And locked me—and my brother—into a cold, dark prison."
Chains rattle. Darkness. Time skips.
Bhola (present, staring into fire):
"Months later, he sent me to an abandoned school in the middle of a jungle. I thought I was alone… but then you all began to arrive."
Montage: A dark lab built inside the ruins. Capsules fill one by one—Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3...
Bhola:
"I saw him turn my elder brother into Subject 1. After that… he never spoke to me again."
Flash of Subject 2 screaming in pain. Ganga lashing out in the lab.
Bhola (bitterly):
"Then came the others. Phantom. Pathan. Ganga…"
Bhola's voice cracks slightly.
Bhola:
"And when he began experimenting on Ganga… I tried to stop him. She was already broken—violent. I begged him not to make her worse."
Flashback: Bhola standing between Ganga and Vikrant. Guards seize him. Injections. Screams.
Bhola (growling):
"So he punished me. He made me Subject 5. He twisted my love for animals—merged my DNA with a bear's."
Flash: Bhola's body mutating. Roaring in agony. Claws, fur, pain.
Back to present.
Bhola (solemnly):
"From that day… I was no longer human."
Camera closes on the shocked faces of Khan, Lucy, and Phantom as the fire crackles ominously.
[Scene: The cave, firelight low, mood heavy. Bhola continues his story.]
Lucy leans in closer, her voice tense but curious.
Lucy:
"What happened after that, Bhola? After he turned you into Subject 5?"
Phantom clenches his fists, frustration on his face.
Phantom:
"I… I don't remember much. Just pain. The lab. Screaming. I know he experimented on me and Pathan… but we didn't get powers. Just… fragments."
Bhola nods slowly, eyes heavy with truth.
Bhola:
"That's because the early experiments… failed. Vikrant tried everything — DNA splicing, chemical serums, mind stimulation. But none of it worked. Your bodies reacted, but didn't evolve."
Bhola pauses, staring at Khan with a mix of sorrow and awe.
Bhola:
"Then… he found you, Khan."
Khan looks shocked.
Khan:
"Me…?"
Bhola (softly, voice trembling):
"He discovered your unique condition… split personalities. And something inside him clicked."
Flashback: Dr. Vikrant staring through glass at young Khan, trembling and confused in isolation. Monitors around him blink rapidly, displaying brain activity across multiple sectors.
Bhola (voice-over):
"He realized… you weren't broken. You were special. Each alter in your mind… a fully formed identity. Different thoughts. Different instincts. Different strengths."
Flashback: Vikrant pacing in his lab, scribbling equations wildly. Behind him, sketches of brain patterns, experimental triggers, alter theories.
Bhola (present):
"He believed your fractured mind… was the key. That instead of forcing power into a body, he could awaken hidden potential through trauma. That evolution wasn't physical — it was mental."
Khan breathes heavily. Lucy looks disturbed. Phantom silently stares at the fire, something clicking inside.
Bhola:
"That's when he changed everything. You became his blueprint. He tried to manufacture personalities in others… but none of us had the depth you did. You weren't just a subject."
Bhola (quietly):
"You were his masterpiece."
[Silence. The fire crackles.]
Khan stands, fists shaking.
Khan:
"So all of this… all of us… started with me?"
Bhola:
"Not your fault. He would've found someone. But yes… you were the spark. After you, he changed his approach. More mind control. More suffering. That's how Ganga broke. That's how Phantom cracked."
Phantom grits his teeth, a tear slipping down.
Phantom:
"I trusted him. I called him my father…"
Lucy (coldly):
"He isn't anyone's father. He's a monster."
Bhola stands slowly, towering, his bear-like body casting a long shadow.
Bhola:
"Now do you see why we must stop him? He won't quit. He wants to awaken the final form. The ultimate mind. And he believes Khan is the vessel."
Zoom in on Khan's eyes, swirling faintly—Captain's voice whispers within.
Captain (inside Khan's mind):
"He's right. He'll come for us. And next time… he won't experiment. He'll destroy."
Bhola stands near the flame, his voice calm but heavy with memories.
Bhola (looking down):
"It doesn't end there. When Dr. Vikrant found you, Khan… everything changed. He released all of us — Subjects 1 to 9 — into that abandoned school in the jungle. He told us it was a sanctuary… but it was a cage. A living lab."
Khan's eyes widen. Lucy steps forward, listening intently.
Bhola:
"Every day, you'd wake up with a new personality. Shurya. Captain. Veer. Hex… And without even realizing, you formed bonds with all of us."
Cut to: Soft flashbacks — Young Khan smiling as he trains with Shurya. Phantom and Shurya sparring intensely but laughing after. Captain showing Bhola how to calculate the moon phases. Ganga watching silently from a distance, her hands clenched.
Bhola (voice trembling):
"Shurya always clashed with Phantom… but in those fights, they became brothers. Captain… he was the calm in all of us. He protected me… protected Ganga, even when she didn't want help."
Flashback: Captain gently giving a flower to Ganga, who glares and crushes it—yet doesn't walk away.
Bhola:
"And you, Khan… you were our sun. Especially for Pathan. You two were inseparable. You were the only one he ever trusted."
Khan lowers his head, whispering:
Khan:
"…I don't remember any of this."
Lucy glances at him, then steps forward with a firm voice.
Lucy:
"Then tell us, Bhola. How did Khan end up in that school? What made Vikrant choose him? Why is Khan so important?"
Khan lifts his eyes, voice trembling with dread and curiosity.
Khan:
"What exactly did he find in me that gave you all powers…?"
Bhola opens his mouth to respond—[BUT]
EXT. FOREST – NIGHT
Meanwhile, in another part of the jungle, GANGA walks barefoot through the mud. Lightning pulses through her skin. She rips a tree apart in anger.
GANGA (to herself):
"They're all together now. Good. Makes it easier to kill them all."
In her ear, a small communicator buzzes—VIKRANT's voice echoes.
DR. VIKRANT:
"Remember what you are, Subject 6. The ultimate huntress. No mercy."
Ganga smirks. Her eyes glow.
---
INT. BHOLA'S CAVE – LATER THAT NIGHT
Khan stands up. He's sweating but focused.
KHAN:
"Then I need to remember. Everything. Every dark piece."
PHANTOM:
"Are you sure? That path may break you."
KHAN (determined):
"I have no choice. If I'm the origin, I'll be the end too."
---
INT. KHAN'S SUBCONSCIOUS – THE WHITE ROOM
Khan enters again. The five chairs remain. Shurya, and Captain visible.
A Third chair flickers now… partially visible. A shadowy form shivers inside it.
CAPTAIN (serious):
"You're waking up faster now. The walls are breaking. But be careful…"
SHURYA:
"The Third… he's unstable. And angry."
Khan walks toward the flickering chair… but suddenly—CRACK!
A loud explosion echoes from the real world—Khan opens his eyes.
---
Bhola opens his mouth to respond—
BOOM! CRACK! TREES SPLINTERING OUTSIDE.
A massive shockwave hits the cave wall. The fire sputters.
Bhola (eyes sharp):
"…She's here."
LUCY (screaming):
"She's here!! GANGA!!"
Ganga stands tall at the cave entrance, soaked in rain, hands glowing with electrical fury.
GANGA:
"Let's finish what Vikrant started."
Phantom, Bhola, Khan, and Lucy brace themselves.
KHAN (to himself):
"No more running."
He turns toward his team.
KHAN:
"This time, we fight as one."
