In the battlefield we see Tamiz, Solomon and the members with them engulfed in fire running towards Julio's Army spreading the fire soon the whole of battlefield is engulfed in fire with Julio's Army shedding thin with fire. Julio sees this and goes towards Natasha saying that he will make her pay. Natasha and battered John see each other and thinking this is their last moments profess their love to each other then Julio grabs Natasha and goes for the kill but suddenly he is stabbed from behind by Queen J who can't stand more violence initiated by her husband. The band that came with Julio is going to attack J but from out of nowhere Steve comes with few ants and dispose of the band.
