Branch 2 (Science Fiction)
Base Story
Present time period
Charu had settled in her laboratory, and glanced at Vitron, an instrument used to conduct virological study. Adjoining it lay the petri dish containing Anibus/Yuvaan’s DNA, which Charu had extracted from Yuvaan’s finger nail.
She inserted a test tube inside Vitron containing Anibus’ DNA and set the machine on. A buzzing sound indicated that the antidote had failed. “Missing chains of amino acid protein”, prompted the machine.
Damn! Just one missing link!
“I need to travel back as Queen Berenice,” thought Charu, “maybe Nefret has some answers.”
She immediately put the sword in the wormhole and travelled back as Queen Berenice.
Meanwhile, Vincent’s assistants were carefully observing Charu’s activities. The moment they came to know that Charu teleported back in time, they informed Vincent.
“Finally, I was waiting for this moment. We have to go back from where it all started,” Vincent sighed. “Nothing can come between me and my throne. I am the rightful heir to the throne, and not Berenice,” Vincent connected the magnetic hose and got sucked in the wormhole.

She reminds the mistake Sheryl committed and warns that she will lose her powers if she surrenders to him now. Charu, aware of her truth that, being a Zygote, expresses her will and desire to stay back on Earth and live a human life. A very insightful argument ensues on planting emotions to destroy the eclipse happens between Charu and Goddess Athena. As the eclipse falls on the next day, Athena informs that Charu will be given the sword; she has to travel back to New York in a flight where the flight will be transported to Planet Antrina. With a distressed mind, Charu spends the rest of the day. The following day, she wishes her father Oomen a ‘Good Morning’ that is goodbye forever and reaches the airport.
