It may be just one day but Adrika felt it as eternity because, her son was under attack. They were torturing Aadi to give them what they needed. She was dying inside seeing that. But the sigils on the rope were powerful and dark. She couldn't get out of it and for the first time, she felt the child inside of her was soaking her powers. Almost as if he doesn't want her to save Aadi. Was dad right.. this child will be evil? Her own head was bleeding not so long ago, when a kinder man among them cleaned it for her and stitched it. She now knew that her friends are coming for her.. that vision share draws the last bit of her energy. Now just wait and watch. Aadi was passed out of pain. At least he isn't moaning in pain right now.

Now just wait and wait and wait....

Is she imagining or there is actually Sky's voice... ?

Somebody slicing something... Thud... Someone?

The next moment , Emma burst into the room with a savage look and Aadi's Katana which was covered in blood. She too was covered in blood. She looked around.. saw her best friend bound to a chair and her godson looking up at her with tired and tearful eyes.

She left the Katana and ran to Aadi. Everyone else entered with Dean holding Zeus by his neck and him with a defeated yet amused look. Mads and Krishna ran to Adrika while Krishn held his sister's face to ask her questions Mads was busy opening the enchanted ropes. Meanwhile Emma looked murderous. She held Aadi's face.

"What have he did to my kid..." She almost talk to herself before lounging at Zues with a roar like a hurt tigress. She would have rip into his neck of Sam didn't caught the girl in mid air.

"Hy.. hy.. hy.. hy.. easy cowgirl. We need the man for now." Sam said placing her on the other side like a doll.

"He hurt my kid." Emma said with gritted teeth.

"Yes. He did. So your kid needs you now. Go to him." Sam said.

After a little patching and food.. they tied Zues to the same chair and same rope that has restrained Adrika previously.

"How did you find us?" Adrika asked. "His eyes.."

"That's what gave me clue what exactly he wanted from you behna." Krishn said.

"He roamed a little too long in the dark world. He is constantly charged with magic. It weaken him. His soul is broken. There isn't much time left for him." Leo said.

"That's why he wanted me to cry for him." Adrika said faintly.

"Cry.. why cry?" Dean asked.

"Tears of nature. The most powerful potion. Almost as powerful as fountain of youth." Sam clarified. Dean looked at Adrika with wonder.

"Yah yah.. you figure out the masterplan.. now can you heal me up so we can leap towards your magic Kingdom. Because your highness the real darklord is behind you. Juro's spies are already in the town. Now cry me a drop so I can get you out of herGe." Zues said with a urgent yet bored tone.

"You are a snake Jay. You will give us up in a heartbeat once you got the tear." Mads said.

"I would NEVER...."""" Zues said as if he was offended. As no one shows any sign of believing him. "Maybe I will..." He said with a sickening smile.

"What happened to you Jay... We all used to be friends. Mumma loved you." Adrika asked in a soft tone.

"And I loved her too..." He yelled. "What you know what Ranima went through Adrika.. are tum to sidhe muh baat Tak nai karti thi unse. And you disappeared the moment the opportunity presented. And you Maddy. Always Adrika's tail. I was with Ranima. I saw her wasting away in infernal. I was the child you are supposed to be. I am the child you are supposed to be. Till this day I'm roaming in infernal to find a cure for her. What have you done for Ranima... Huh.." he spated.
(You didn't even used to talk to her.)

No one really knew what to expect after this so he just continued.

"Look, I maybe a lying bastard but Juro coming here is true. I will take you to island because although Ranima and Babasa hate me I still like to think they had a sliver of hope that I'll help you. So I will."

Everyone look at Adrika. Zues and her were in a staring contest. She then looked at Dean and nodded. They opened the restraints and Zues stood up and strached.

"Now... Adrika.. a tear for me?" Adrika nodded and took a step forward.

"Boss... Some angry suits are about to enter the bar!!!" A guy informed and went away.

"Damn... No time for me. let's get out of here." Zues said. "Wizard.. fix the boy. He will slow us." Leo gave him a glare before healing Aadi.

They all went into a tunnel-like thing which led them to a mansion. Clearly it was his home.

"Make yourself at home. Your things are here from your motel room. I need some time to prepare for the journey." Zues said.

"Jay...!" Mads said.

"Yah..." He turned dramatically.

"Thanks!" Mads told him. He gave an expression as if he was offended. Then ran away.

"Interesting character!" Sky said.

"Very animated." Sam agreed.

Some people gave them food and drinks while Zues was doing his "preparation". They were observing everything. He came down talking to someone on the phone and writing down stuff.

"Alright mate.. thanks." He put down the phone and turned to them. "Done. In half an hour we can leave. Before juro even gets here. Perfect window for me to get the potion..."

"Boss, outer city is getting invaded." The same guy from before came to give this information..

"Oh for the love of God.." Zues yelled in annoyance. Making Adrika chuckle. He looked at her and gave a genuine smile, like finally meeting the old friend.

For the next couple of hours they all saw the city defending Juro's people. But they were overpowered. Sky, Dean, Sam, Aadi were giving Zues advice to defend the city. But he was just standing there watching. As if waiting for something. Adrika observed him looking gleeful. It confused her but she also waited for him. After certain time everyone waited for him to react at all. Adrika saw when a certain area was hit by Juro's force Zues smiled and looked at all of them. He then took a drink from the table and sat on the sofa dramatically.

"Are you actually insane?" Dean yelled. "They are capturing the city you moron."

"Let me have a last drink in my home peacefully." Zues said sipping his drink.

"What do you mean?" Adrika asked.

"Sometimes princess you built a city so that you can flick a match and burn your enemy with it." Zues said drinking.

And then the mansion is attacked. And they all fought with their might. This was the most magically diverse fight Adrika ever seen. Except for her brother who was doing hand to hand combat alongside Dean, Sam, Sky and Emma. Zues for some reason was defending Aadi as Aadi was weak and recovering. All of a sudden it seems like Juro's people got some help. A coven of witches. And for the most part they were strong. Not strong like Leo and Zues but strong enough and their number gave them some benifit too.

"Oh you little broom riding harlots..." Zues yelled annoyed and suddenly attacked with full force of magic to finish everyone off at once.

They all sighed in relief.

"You ok kid?" Zues asked Aadi and holding his face to see if he is hit. Adrika looked at him and smiled.

"He is my son Jay. He is fine."

"You are not. How far along are you?" He asked looking at Adrika's stomach with a clear baby bump.

"Oh my God.... Oh My god.... BHRATASHREE!!!" Adrika yelled. Krishn came to her running and hold her hand.

"I'm right here... I'm right here behna." Krishn said helping her sit.

"This is happening... No no no.. this should not happen right now Bhratashree. This should not.. oh no..." Adrika said hyperventiling.

"Calm down Behna. Nothing will happen. I'm right here."

"Mumma said it will be a matter of hours or hardly a day before the baby comes once I'm showing.. we haven't even gotten to island yet Bharashree..."

"Zues how fast can we reach Island?" Sky asked.

"5 days journey." He said solomely. "But ... " He added gaining everyone's attention. "I have a safe house. Not so far. It's super safe. Also have a secret passage to island."

"We will take it." Krishna said still looking at his sister. "I'll be right by you behna."

"Wo mere bete ko le jaega Bhratashree." Adrika said almost as desperate as she was when she asked her brother to save her son during Mahabharata.

"Ese kese le jaega. Main lene thodi dunga use." Krishna said with so much care.

(He will take my son away.

How can he? I won't let him.)

"Boss... We need to open the armoury." One of Zues's man came and informed.

"Open it. I'll be right behind ya.." he said to the man running away.. "escaping to my safe house." He added afterwards. "Everything is packed. Let's move."

"Aren't you going to fight?" Dean asked confused.

"Fight for what?" Zues asked as if this was the most absurd question he had heard in his life.

"Well for your people. Your city." Dean said with less convincing.

"Why would I do that. Like I told you. I made this city so that I can have the satisfaction of watching my enemies burn with it." Zues said as if he was saying 'duh'.

"But your people. They are counting on you. They are loyal to you. How can you leave them behind." Aadi said.

"Ahh you poor poor ethical warriors!! Always got the wrong priority. This is why important things should be left in the care of crooks like me." He said with great exaporation. "This and this are priorities now." He said pointing to Adrika and her pregnant belly. "Not those thieves and criminals who will change sides the moment they realise Juro is stronger. NOW..... Move it." He said holding Adrika up to walk.

"But they are still people Jay. We can't let them die for us." Adrika said weakly. He smiled.

"They aren't people Adrika. They are roaches. And you know who survives the Nuclear attacks? The Roaches. Don't worry. They will find ways to crawl out of it." He put his finger under her chin to rise her head. "You.. mind that big heart of yours. Now let's fly."

They did fly out of the war zone and surprisingly Zues's men helped them escape. And in no time they were at a abandoned looking mansion on a hilltop. Which was Zues's safe house. Adrika's condition was increasingly worsening and it was clear that she was about to go though labour anytime now. The place wasn't exactly a waste bin but close to it. But it was warm and have enough facilities to perform the child birth.

"How short is your shortcut Jay?" Mads asked.

"3 days. But I don't think Adrika can handle it." He answered.

"How long we have Sky?" Dean asked Sky who was checking Adrika.

"It's happening. Now. Like she is in labour already. We can't move. We have to do it here." Sky said to Krishn and Dean.

"Ok.. gather the things you need. And take care of her. Jay and Leo when this child will be born.. the whole world will know. It will be a power rain. Magical and cosmic. We have to suppress this. So that we don't be the target for every power hungry magical being of this world." Krishna said.

"Oh damn...!!! I really didn't choose a good place for history to take place." Zues said.

"I can make a protection layer but... You two.. I need you two to be the channel for power and help it return to nature carefully." Krishn said.

"I can do that." Leo said followed by a scream from Adrika.

"It's time." Emma yelled. "Get out,you all."

Except for Sky, Emma and Mads everyone else came out of the room. Zues and Leo stood ready to absorb the power that will radiate. And Krishn stood infront of them and point his finger to the Sky. Suddenly they all saw a blue aura of protection was casted around the palace. It was visible from the windows. A glowing flimsy looking, moving blue layer. Sam and Dean went to the window to look outside. They saw the source of this layer was a giant moving circular disk which is blue in colour with spikes around the curvature. With a whole in the center. They were shocked and looked at Krishn who was standing in the same position. Now his point finger seems to control that moving disk. Aadi smiled.

"Sudarshan" he said ending all confusion.

And it happened. The scream of Adrika followed by a wave of power that shook the whole hill it seemed. Even Krishn was almost unbalanced but he put more force and regained his position. Zues and Leo started consuming the power. Slowly it was so much that they were lifted from the ground.

"Leo... Do it now... Otherwise we will explode like water balloons." Zues yelled.

"Yes.... Together...!!!"

Leo yelled and they both joined their hands and the power that was entering them now was going towards Sky and Earth. It continued for good one hour and suddenly it stopped making three of them thrown to wall.

"Guys...." Dean yelled as the remaining two help them get up.

"Damn the kid is powerful." Sam said.

"Much more than I anticipated."

Krishn said taking Sam's helping hand to stand up. The door opened. Sky came out holding a bundle of white clothes. He was beaming with happiness with tears running down his cheek. They all went to him slowly. Six grown up men looked into the bundle to the tiniest little eyes looking back at them.

"Looks exactly like Adrika." Sam said first.

"How is she?" Krishn asked Sky while he was handing him the baby.

"She is fine. Very tired though. She asked me to give you the baby first so you could name him." Sky said wiping his tears. Krishn smiled at the baby.

"I always thought if Behna have another boy I would name him Advit. The name suits this one too." He said looking at Sky who nodded.

"What does that mean?" Dean said taking the baby from Krishn.

"Advit, the one and only of his kind." Zues said looking into Dean's arms to see the baby. Everyone smiled. "Careful." He added.

"I know how to hold a baby dude. I raised that one." Dean said pointing to his brother.

"It's true." Sam said smiling broadly trying to take the baby but Dean just shook his head. He just gave the baby to Zues.

"Hy... Kid. Already so much trouble you have caused with just taking birth. Seems like you are my kind of trouble maker." He said softly bouncing the baby. "Come here kid. See your brother's face." Aadi softly walked to him and with a 'Dear in the headlight' look took the kid.

"Hi brother. I wish you could meet your other siblings. They are far cooler brothers than me." Aadi said softly hugging the baby.

"I think I should take him to Adrika. She should be ready to hold him for skin to skin." Sky said.

Aadi gave him the baby and Sky went inside. Krishna pulled Zues away and they talked about it. Zues gave an animated curtsy to Krishna before going away. They all waited for him to return, meanwhile helping themselves to some food and drinks that he arranged. Adrika, Mads or Emma didn't come out , as Adrika was very tired they didn't disturbed her either. Sky however joined them informing both the baby and New mom are sleeping. Mads and Emma refuse to get up from her side. Krishn was sitting away from everyone and they knew he was plotting something. After a while Emma came out saying Adrika wants them. They all rushed in, Mads was sitting by Adrika's head stroking it while Sky was rocking the baby away from them. Adrika smiled at them.

"Kesi ho behna?" Krishn asked as soon as he sat down with her.

"Absolutely great. The baby is healthy." Adrika said. "Kumar hote to kitne khush hote use dekh kar."

(How are you sister?

If Kumar was here today, he would have been delighted to see him.)

"His blessings is always with the boy behna. And he is here as Sky. He would love the kid as much as Nakul would have." Krishna said holding Adrika's hand in one and cupping her cheek in other.

"Where is Jay?" She asked.

"I sent him away to arrange something." Krishn said. "It's for our escape plan."

They waited for Zues for what it seemed like ages. When he returned he had 3 babies with him. They were shocked was an understatement. He casually put three of them on the bed.

"Right... Handsome Winchester and Krishn got this one." He said handing Dean a baby. Who dumbfoundedly took it. "Jamai sa and gient Winchester got this one." He gave Sky a baby. "And Leonard and Emerald got this one."

"Jay what the hell..." Mads said.

"What? We need decoys." Zues said matter of factly.

"We can't use innocent babies for that." Leo said with a high pitched voice.

"Relax. They are orphans. No one will come after you. I stole them from a nearby orphanage." Zues said dismissingly. They all looked extremely shocked. He burst out laughing. "Hold your wigs guys. These are dolls that are enchanted to look like real babies."

"You scared me." Emma said holding a hand to her chest.

"Krishna's Idea. Although I told him I could steal some real babies. It would have been less effort but he wouldn't agree." He said gaining some chuckles.

"So Bhratashree.. what's the plan?"

Adrika asked knowing very well the cunning nature of her brother. Krishn smiled.
