Welcome to Chaos (Mumbai Edition)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport – The Madness Begins

The second they stepped off the plane, they were hit with the full force of Mumbai's insanity.

Noise. A symphony of car horns, shouting vendors, and airport announcements blaring from outdated speakers.

Heat. The humid air wrapped around them like a desperate ex-girlfriend.

People. Everywhere. Crowds moving in every direction, a chaotic yet somehow perfectly synchronized mess.

Hughie was already overwhelmed.

"Dude," he whispered, looking around like a lost child. "This is… a lot."

"बहुत ज्यादा भीड़ है, यार!" a man muttered as he pushed past them, shaking his head. (Too much crowd, man!)

"Bro, same," Hughie muttered.

Butcher lit a cigarette, despite being in a clear no-smoking zone. "Ain't worse than London, mate."

Deadpool? He was having the time of his life.

"OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT HERE! LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE!" he shouted, spinning in a circle.

"अरे भाई, हटो ना!" a woman snapped as she shoved past him. (Hey brother, move aside!)

Deadpool dramatically gasped. "HOW DARE YOU? I AM A DELICATE FLOWER!"

Frenchie chuckled, adjusting his sunglasses. "Ah, this city has… energy."

Kimiko just nodded in agreement.

Alex?

He was already looking for a ride.

And then—

Their Taxi Driver Appeared.

"HELLO, MY FRIENDS!"

A man burst through the crowd, waving at them like they were long-lost family members.

He was short, had a thick mustache, and wore a bright yellow button-up shirt with pineapples on it.

Deadpool immediately gasped. "Oh my God. Is this… my long-lost twin?"

The man grinned like a lunatic.

"NAME IS RAJU, YAAR! BEST TAXI DRIVER IN ALL OF MUMBAI!" he declared, clapping Alex on the shoulder.

Alex winced. "Oh great. Another one".

Raju ignored that.

"You need ride? I give best price! No scam, only slightly overpriced!"

Frenchie chuckled. "Ah, an honest man."

"Yes, yes, very honest! Now get in taxi before Mumbai traffic eats your soul!"

The Taxi Ride – Welcome to Hell

They piled into Raju's ancient, possibly haunted taxi.

The second the doors closed—

BEEEEEEEEP!

A truck nearly obliterated them.

Hughie screamed. "HOLY SH—"

"NO WORRY, YAAR!" Raju laughed, swerving through traffic like a GTA character.

"ओए, गाड़ी सीधी चला!" a biker shouted. (Oi, drive straight!)

Raju leaned out the window. "तेरी गाड़ी सीधी नहीं, मेरी क्यों होगी?!" (Your car isn't straight, why should mine be?!)

Alex grabbed onto the seat. "Dude, you're gonna kill us!"

Raju just grinned.

"Sir, this is Mumbai. No one drives safe! Driving safe is for weak people!"

Deadpool wiped a fake tear. "I love this man."

"See? Masked man understands me!" Raju beamed. "Now tell me, where we go?"

Alex glanced at his status window, rereading the cryptic quest hint.

It pointed toward an ancient artifact hidden somewhere deep in the city.

But where exactly?

…He had no idea.

Alex sighed.

"Raju, take us somewhere where we can… figure that out."

Raju nodded. "AH, YOU NEED GOOD SPOT FOR BRAIN POWER! I KNOW JUST THE PLACE!"

He slammed the accelerator.

The taxi shot forward like a missile.

Hughie screamed again.

And just like that—

Their journey in Mumbai had officially begun.
