Flying over the pacific, his infrared vision located the wreckage of several ships. These ships were largely destroyed during battle and Bhanuman managed to locate seven of them. He then charged at the sea and in no time lifted all of them and headed straight for Tintunagar. It was fifty-one seconds to deadline and Bhanuman had to place the wreckage so that it would take the onslaught of the torpedoes, thus leaving no stone in Tintunagar turned.


All the fishermen could see was a huge wall of iron descending from the sky and they thought that the end was here. They were quick to take evasive action and prayed to Almighty for protection. Then, before they could realize anything, the iron wall had sunk below. Bhanuman quickly calculated the speed and the angle at which the torpedoes were traveling. He adjusted the wreckage accordingly and then swam to the surface. Using his fiery might, he started churning the sea anti-clockwise. He managed to create a wave, large enough to push the trawlers away from danger and then went back down below to monitor the proceedings. Bhanuman knew that in spite of all his calculations, something could still go wrong and he had to be there to monitor it.


With clockwork precision, the torpedoes struck. One by one, all six hit the target. There was a loud explosion, which terrified the fishermen. The scattered pieces of metal polluted the sea bed and Bhanuman wasn't going to have any of this. He managed to save the town but he was not going to do it at the cost of polluting the lovely sea. Using his lead underwear (which incidentally protects him from radiation), Bhanuman pierced through the bed of the sea and reached the crust of the earth. Choosing a medium sized magnet, Bhanuman came back to site and then-- it happened! The magnet attracted all the iron pieces and the debris was cleared. Now that the work was done, Bhanuman picked the magnet and flew onto the sky and choosing the biggest scrap yard in the world (in Slovakia), he dumped all the iron pieces. He however carried the magnet with him and headed back to Venus. His computing mind told him that seven years later, comet Kanna would strike earth and calculating the angle, he placed the magnet in space in the direction of the comet. He knew that the comet was made of an iron compound and the magnet would prevent it from striking Earth.


Thus Bhanuman had successfully prevented a future calamity as well. Back in Tintunagar, the fishermen returned home to tell their family about the iron wall descending from the sky and the loud explosion. They knew Bhanuman had something to do with it and they all gathered at the local church to pay tribute to a man, who was truly a hero of the future.
Bhanuman returned Venus, opened a fresh can of beer and continued sunbathing. A vegetarian to the core, he munched some onion rings too, before putting on his sunglasses, to prevent the ultra violet rays from harming him.
