The C. N. A. T. - Page 26

• Agastya however divines Indra's & Narada's evil intentions, and realizes that his fortune will tank as well if Chakri goes down. Chakri sits w/ him & Skanda to hatch out a plan
• Agastya tells Chakri that there are already several anti-Virus companies like Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, ESET, et al. He suggests that they also open up a division that does Internet security.
• Chakri realizes that firewalls will be an important part of this. Hearing the term Firewall, Mahasena thinks that this is just the job for Agni, and decides to rope in dad for this job
• Agni has compunctions about betraying his king Indra, but Agastya points out to him that Indra didn't cut him in on any deals there. Agni agrees to join them.
• They decide to rope in Saraswati as well so that all programming languages can be learnt - C, C++, Objective C, Python, PHP, et al. Saraswati teaches them all that, and Agastya assigns out the work. Agni is to design a firewall, Kartikeya is to design botnets to attack attacking malware from Indra & Narada, while Chakri is supposed to change the grammatical rules of Tamil and infect Indra's software, so that what Indra teaches will be different
• Indra & Narada spread this double virus ridden software. When their customers come back & talk to them, they are flummoxed. So they learn the language of the software that they've spread, and find themselves speaking Cantonese Chinese 🤣
• Furious, Indra decides to lead an invasion of the South. Chakri tells Skanda that this is his opportunity to demonstrate his martial skills, and asks him to lead an asura army against Indra. A fierce battle takes place where Indra and the Cantonese speaking people & devas are defeated, and Skanda drives them far away to Guangzhou
• Indra pines for peace, and tells Skanda that there are no more restrictions from now on on Skanda meeting Devasena. He also agrees not to try infecting Tamil software, but stick to Cantonese 🤣
• Chakri is pleased w/ Skanda, and in reward, admits Murugan, Devasena, Jayanti and Valli all into the school. The school is now more lively w/ 4 students now, instead of 1. Indra & Sachi have to cough up 200k gold coins for their admissions, while Narada is forced to foot the bill for Valli
• Chakri gives Skanda the assignment to teach all 3 girls Tamil, using the Rosetta Stone software. In addition, the girls are asked to view Masterchef India and come up w/ exciting new dishes
• Chakri also tells Skanda that he wants to grow the school and have more students - preferably 25, so that they can play 20-20 cricket. So all 4 students have a new assignment - round up other kids and have them join the school 😆

• Kartikeya refuses to return home, and the Krittikas refuse to return him w/ the Ganas. Kartikeya challenges the ganas to a game of 'catch' and wins.
• Mahadev decides to send Agni to the Krittikas, instructing him to claim them as his wives & Kartikeya as his son. Agni goes there w/ a plan.
• The Krittikas refuse to acknowledge Agni as their husband, but he claims that Kartikeya couldn't have had them as mothers if they didn't have a husband. Since they're not acknowledging Shiva/Parvati's parentage, they are throwing Kartikeya's legitimacy into question.
• Kartikeya gets angry, and so Agni challenges him & his mothers to another game of catch, but in this game, they actually have to hold him w/o letting go.
• The chase begins & Agni is easily captured, but all the Krittikas are singed. Mahadev too meditates on ensuring that Agni is too hot even for Kartikeya, and he too can't manage it.
• Agni starts burning, burning, burning until Krittika lok is too hot for the Krittikas. They beg him to leave, promising that they'll do anything.
• Agni agrees to leave, but that doesn't get rid of the heat. So the Krittikas propriate Ganga, and she agrees to cool off that place only if Kartikeya is restored to Parvati.
• Kartikeya refuses to leave, and therefore Ganga too does nothing. The Krittikas get angry, curse Kartikeya that he'd lose a battle to his younger brother, and tell him that they have nothing more to do w/ him. A depressed Kartikeya leaves that place, and Ganga cools it and lives up to her end of the deal.
• Nandi and the Ganas arrive once again, and invite Kartikeya to join them. In fact, they challenge him to a rematch, which he agrees to, but this time, he's too depressed and is easily caught. He accompanies the ganas to Kailash.

• Kartikeya returns w/ the Ganas to his parents
• Mahadev, in order to assuage the Krittikas, blesses them that they'll be stars from now on, always overseeing Kartikeya. Also that Kartikeya would be the main name by which he will be known, despite Skanda & Murugan
• The Krittikas get to the sky, and start their star-gazing @ their son
• Taki, still smarting from his humiliation @ their hands, decides to take revenge. Sukhi tells him that since they have Mahadev's blessing, he can't kill them.
• Taki tells Maya danav to put them into the orbit of the Tripurs, so that their energy is provided to Changu, Mangu & Thingu's planets. Chief Krittika, who confronted Viraj, Parvati and Taki, now becomes their sun (no typo here)
• He then tells the Krittikas that for both humiliating him & cursing Skanda, the latter won't be in their line of sight. Krittikas start crying piteously, dwarfing the past achievements of Nandi and Parvati
• Mahadev promises the Krittikas that they'll witness Kartikeya slaying Tarakasura, and also provides them a satellite connection so that they can continue witnessing Kartikeya despite being out of range. Krittikas are mollified
• The ganas decide to divert Skanda's stone throwing skills to cricket, and prepare a ball made out of the cork used to seal their closed sura bottles. They introduce to Kartikeya a game called cricket
• In the first game of 20-20 cricket that he plays, Skanda bowls the ganas out for 20 runs 😆 Four overs was not inadequate for Kartikeya, who made 2 hatricks in 2 different overs
• The ganas expand the game to 50, and are this time, all out for 50 runs. 🤣 Despite them trying to bend the rules, like banning more than one bouncer per over, Kartikeya forces them to extend the bowling to 10 overs per bowler, and gets all their wickets
• The ganas then expand it to a test match, lasting 5 days. Kartikeya gets some glorious batting practice. On day 1, ganas are all out for 100 by lunch, and Kartikeya bats the next 3 days to hit 420 runs. He then declares, and dismisses the Ganas for 150 in their second innings on the 5th day
• The ganas are overjoyed @ making 3 figures, and celebrate w/ bhang. Parvati however disallows Skanda from having it.
• Skanda decides to invite Devasena to the next test match he'll be playing w/ the ganas

• The above league is called the Lok Premier League, and so the teams have to be formed. Parvati is the new LPL commissioner, and organizes the auction. Lakshmi & Kubera run the auction and see to it that every team is within the spending limits
• Mahadev & Parvati announce 8 teams, where the adjective & noun have to begin w/ the same letter. They are, w/ team colors assigned as below:
