"The Titan of Dibrugarh"

Scene 1 – The Meeting Place
Dibrugarh Academy – Old Boxing Gym
The place smelled of sweat and blood. Rusty gym equipment lay scattered around, and the dimly lit space had seen too many underground fights.
Kelly led Mri, Ishu, Aamon, and Kai through the gym, stopping near the center, where a massive figure stood, wrapping his fists with tape.
Adonish Tutty.
> 6'1 feet tall. Broad shoulders. Muscles carved from steel.
He didn't even look up when they entered. Instead, he threw a punch at a punching bag—
> BOOM!
The bag exploded.
Kai whistled. "Holy shit."
Ishu adjusted his glasses. "He's even bigger than I thought."
Aamon crossed his arms. "You sure this guy's human?"
Kelly grinned. "See? Told you. He's the strongest guy here."
Mri stepped forward. "Adonish Tutty."
Adonish finally looked at them. His sharp, beast-like eyes locked onto Mri's.
"Who the hell are you?"

Scene 2 – The Challenge
Kelly smirked. "They want you to join their new gang. The Three Souls."
Adonish cracked his neck. "Gang, huh? What's your goal?"
Ishu spoke first. "To crush the Twin Monarchs and take over Dibrugarh Academy."
Adonish laughed—a deep, rumbling sound. "Ambitious. But why should I care?"
Mri stepped up, staring directly at him. "Because you like to fight."
Adonish raised an eyebrow.
Mri smirked. "And because I'll beat you right here, right now."
> Silence.
Then—Adonish grinned. "Heh. You've got balls."
He tossed aside his hand wraps and cracked his knuckles.
"Fine. Show me what you've got."

Scene 3 – Mri vs. Adonish
Gym Floor – Makeshift Arena
A circle formed around them. Even some gang members from the gym took notice.
Adonish clenched his fists. "You sure about this, kid?"
Mri rolled his shoulders. "I don't do things halfway."
Adonish grinned. "Alright then."
> BOOM!
Adonish launched forward, fist swinging.
> WHOOSH!
Mri dodged. Barely. The punch shattered the floor where he stood.
Kai's eyes widened. "That would've killed him."
Aamon smirked. "Nah. Mri's got this."
Mri closed in, fists glowing with aura.
> CRACK!
A clean uppercut. Adonish staggered.
Kelly whistled. "Damn. Not bad."
Adonish touched his jaw, then grinned.
"Heh. You're fast. But let's see how much you can take."
> BANG!
A heavy punch landed on Mri's stomach.
> CRASH!
Mri flew back, slamming into the wall.
Kai's expression darkened. "Shit."
Ishu muttered, "That was like getting hit by a truck."
Aamon smirked. "Yeah. But look."
Mri stood up. Unshaken.
He wiped blood from his lip and grinned.
"You hit like a little kid."
Adonish's eyes widened. Then, he laughed.
"Hah! Finally, someone who can take a hit."
> WHOOSH!
Mri vanished.
Adonish barely reacted before—
> CRACK!
Mri's fist slammed into his ribs.
> BOOM!
Adonish skidded back. For the first time, he looked serious.
Mri's aura flickered. Golden Yellow. Wild.
Kelly,"Wow,yellow aura huh!"
"I'm not just fast. I hit hard too."
Adonish cracked his knuckles. "Tch. Now I'm interested."

Scene 4 – The Final Blow
Both fighters charged.
> WHOOSH! BOOM!
A flurry of punches, dodges, counters. Two titans clashing.
The entire gym shook.
Mri's eyes locked onto an opening.
> FLASH!
One clean strike to the jaw.
> BANG!
Adonish staggered.
Then—he smiled.
"Alright. You win."
> Silence.
Then—cheers erupted.
Kai smirked. "Well, damn."
Kelly grinned. "Welcome to the team, big guy."
Adonish chuckled. "Fine. You guys got me interested."
He turned to Mri. "From now on, I'll follow you."
Mri grinned. "Then welcome to The Three Souls."
> Recruitment Success.

Scene 5 – The Next Move
As they left the gym, Ishu spoke up. "The Three Souls now has its first two captains."
Kai stretched. "Now what?"
Mri smirked. "Now? We declare war."
Aamon grinned. "Things are about to get messy."
Kelly cracked his knuckles. "Let's make some noise."
Adonish grinned. "I'll handle the first fight."
The Three Souls was born.
