Episode 23: "Operation Rescue: Ladkiyaan & Laughter"

[Scene 1: Chase Begins – Highway Entry Point | Panels 1–5]

Panel 1: Nexus is behind the wheel of a black SUV, eyes sharp, driving through neon-lit streets. Nexus (calmly): "Sab seat belt baandh lo. Mission: Ladies ko ghar le aana." Narration Box: "Simple pickup... lekin A.R.G.O.S. ka style thoda over hota hai."

Panel 2: Ajit is loading stun disks into a launcher. Harsh and Ankit are in the backseat — eating chips and laughing. Ankit: "Ladkiyaan lene ja rahe hain ya war zone mein?" Harsh: "Difference kya hai? Dono jagah mujhe maar padti hai!"

Panel 3: Suddenly, a black A.R.G.O.S. vehicle speeds up from behind with glowing red sensors. Ajit (serious): "Incoming tail. Left flank."

Panel 4: Nexus sharply turns left, tires screech. Sound FX: "SCREEEEEEEEECH!" Ankit's chips fly into the air. Ankit (panicking): "Mere chips!!"

Panel 5: Drone POV — A.R.G.O.S. marks the SUV: "Targets acquired. Engage with stealth."

[Scene 2: Girls' Pickup – Chaos Ensues |

Panels 6–10]

Panel 6: Car stops near a parking lot. Tina, Sakshi, and 420 are waiting, ready to jump in. Tina: "Tum log late ho!" Ankit (yelling from window): "Peeche mat dekhna, bass bhaago!"

Panel 7: As the girls jump into the SUV, Harsh turns invisible and slips out. Harsh (whisper): "Diversion mode: ON." He begins whispering confusing things near agents' ears. Agent (scared): "Did someone say... Main toh chhoti bacchi hoon?"

Panel 8: Ajit shoots stun disks into one enemy vehicle — it flips into a trash truck. Ajit (smirking): "Recycled."

Panel 9: 420 uses her charm to confuse a drone pilot monitoring them. 420 (smiling): "Are you sure you want to follow us?" Pilot (blushing): "Maybe… we should give them a head start?"

Panel 10: Sakshi pulls out her thunder whip and zaps a small EMP trap near the wheels. Sakshi: "No cheap tricks, boys."

[Scene 3: Harsh's Disappearance | Panels 11–14]

Panel 11: Harsh, now invisible, runs across rooftops. A.R.G.O.S. agents think they've cornered him in a dead-end alley. Agent: "Target cornered. Repeat — we got Harsh."

Panel 12: Cut to the SUV. Ankit sees a live drone feed of "Harsh" being captured. Ankit (shocked): "No... not him!" Everyone freezes.

Panel 13: But Nexus remains calm, closes his eyes. Nexus (quietly): "Wait... that's not Harsh."

Panel 14: Back in the alley, the captured "Harsh" flickers — he was actually an A.R.G.O.S. agent under Ankit's mind control and illusion spell. Real Harsh (voiceover): "Main toh unke truck ke andar hoon bhai. Sun raha hoon sab."

[Scene 4: Secret Intel | Panels 15–18]

Panel 15: Inside A.R.G.O.S. transport, Harsh (invisible) listens to operatives discussing a "Phase 2 test on powered subjects."

Panel 16: He pulls out a tiny recorder, whispers: Harsh: "Nexus, they're planning something huge. Codeword: ORA Harvest."

Panel 17: Back in the SUV, Nexus hears this and clenches the steering wheel. Nexus (serious): "They're not just watching… they're preparing."

Panel 18: Final wide shot — SUV speeds into the city darkness. Drones failing, enemies confused, team intact... for now. Narration Box: "Yeh sirf chase nahi… yeh warning thi. Ab toh war shuru hone wali hai."

Cliffhanger for Episode 24: What is "ORA Harvest"? And who is the mysterious woman watching Nexus from afar… smiling like she knows him?
