So, on the instructions of Shaurya, Baal Veer returns to Earth to find his younger successor, the next Baal Veer, as he needs help to fight Timnasa in his weakened state. The new Baalveer is revealed to be a 9-year-old boy named Vivaan, who does not believe in superheroes like Baal Veer, fairies and magic.
After Timnasa notices that Baal Veer and the fairies are on Earth, she is curious to know more about it. Saral Pari and Netra Pari are captured when Timnasa tricks all the fairies into a fight with her.
Saral Pari is killed by Akroor as she doesn't tell Timnasa about the quest to find the new Baal Veer. Timnasa then forces Netra Pari to tell the truth. After Timnasa finds out that Baal Veer and the fairies are searching for a new Baal Veer on Earth, she is terrified and makes a promise to find the successor of Baal Veer before him and turn the junior Baal Veer into Kaal Veer.
Timnasa enters Netra Pari's body to hunt for Baal Veer and his successor. Baal Veer struggles to find Vivaan in order to save him from the evil hands of the people of Kaal Lok. Eventually, he finds his successor whereas Timnasa, eager to defeat Baal Veer after she fails to capture Vivaan, turns Baal Pari into evil Kaal Pari.

Timnasa, receives a Vartamaan Mani. She and Bhaymar then travel to Baghdad 1000 years in the past. There they meet evil Wazir Zafar, and exchange Bhaymar for Wazir's jinn, Ginu. Ginu gives Timnasa Bhoot Mani, but both the Baalveers and Aladdin stop Timnasa from arranging Bhavishya Mani on Mahatrikaal Singhasan. This weakens Timnasa, allowing Baal Veer and the Fairies to attack Kaal Lok and defeat Bhaymar. They try to capture Timnasa, but Akroor arrives in the nick of time and saves her from Baal Veer. Akroor takes Timnasa to the Sarvkaal temple so that she can receive energy from her power source, but reveals in the process that her power source is none other than the God Sarvkaal, who is being imprisoned by Timnasa. God Sarvkaal tells Baal Veer about Timnasa's true origins as a Pari in Pari Lok many years ago. When Timnasa was made Baalveer for one day, she revealed her ego and misused her powers and was banished from Pari Lok and boycotted by Baal Pari.
On his birthday, Vivaan receives all his powers. Now at full strength, Baal Veer and Vivaan go to destroy Timnasa's power source, Sarvkaal. However, Baal Veer makes a mistake, and his powers are taken by Shaurya forever.
Baal Veer loses his memory and returns to Prithvi Lok as Debu. In Kaal Lok, evil Bhaymar recreates Nagini, the Gorgon who was killed by Baal Veer and Aladdin in the past. On Valentine's Day, Ananya joins the Bharat Nagar society. After Timnasa suspects that Baal Veer still has his powers, a new saviour of the world, Naqabposh arrives, confusing Timnasa. After a series of events, Timnasa and Vivaan are convinced that Naqabposh, Baal Veer and Debu are all different people. Later it is revealed that Naqabposh, Baal Veer and Debu are the same person. It is also unveiled that Baal Veer's powers were not taken by Shaurya, and it was their plan to confuse Timnasa and divert her attention. By thinking she had two saviours of the world and righteousness challenging her, she had to choose which one to focus on. Her distraction leads to her defeat.
Later, Timnasa and Baalveer declare Antim Yudh against each other. Baalveer in Naqabposh's form reaches Dhruv Tara to find the Chhupi Shakti that can kill Timnasa. In the process, he meets a lady who tells him a riddle, asks him to solve it and bring the Pushp Amar for her. The lady promises that if he brings the flower, she will tell him about the secret power. Timnasa captures Ananya's mother and forces her to know Naqabposh's real identity. Ananya starts following Naqabposh to find his truth.
Meanwhile, Timnasa and Bhaymar come to Vivaan's house as Dadaji's guests with a plan to destroy earth and humankind. She starts the Sheeth Yantra to bring the Ice Age on earth, as her first strategy after declaring Antim Yudh. She also reveals the secret that Vivaan is Baalveer to Ananya. To stop the Ice Age from coming back to earth after millions of years, Naqabposh starts finding the cold source. When he arrives at the location, Jabdali and Tauba Tauba freeze him. Timnasa arrives and is about to harm Naqabposh when Vivaan and the fairies come at the nick of the time. They save Naqabposh, destroy the Cold Machine and Timnasa's plan backfires.
After coming back to earth, Vivaan gets to know about Ananya and both of them along with Naqabposh, form a team called "Team Shadow" as the identities of the trio are a secret. Meanwhile, Timnasa and Bhaymar start suspecting Debu again as they find Naqabposh's weapon in his room.
Naqabposh reveals his plan about Antim Yudh to Vivaan. Naqabposh solves the riddle, finds the Pushp Amar and brings it to the lady at the Pole Star. He tells Ananya before going, about his location and Timnasa overhears him. She asks Ananya, who in turn tells her the truth. Timnasa gets terrified and asks Jabdali to go and track Naqabposh. Naqabposh reaches Pole Star and gives the flower to the lady and asks her about the secret power. She tells him about the legend which originated years ago when Kaal Lok was Shwet Lok. She tells him that she was the Queen of Shwet Lok along with her husband, Maharaj Aditya Pratap. They had allowed many saints to meditate there and gain the illumination of knowledge. One of the saints was Sarvkaal who practiced Black Magic. He made Timnasa his student and taught her evil magic. After learning all the evils of the world, she captured Shwet Lok and imprisoned Sarvkaal. When she started killing all the saints who meditated there, a saint cursed her that she would be killed by the child born to the Queen. The King and the Queen flee from Shwet Lok to protect their child, to whom she gave birth midway, from Timnasa as she gets to know about it and kills a child, mistaking it to be the Queen's heir. The lady reveals that the real child is still alive and is living on Earth as her husband hid it on Earth. She tells Naqabposh that it is the secret power who would kill Timnasa along with the help of Sarvkaal. Naqabposh gets delighted and asks the lady if she remembers the location of the child but gets to know that Timnasa has done magic on her so that she doesn't remember anything about her child. Naqabposh sees Jabdali spying on them and fights with him. In the process, he takes off Naqabposh's mask and gets shocked after he sees Baal Veer's face beneath it. He is about to inform Timnasa, but Vivaan arrives and Naqabposh freezes Jabdali without revealing his face to Vivaan. They take him and the lady to Veer Lok where Jabdali is put in a prison while Shaurya tries to get the information out of the lady's mind.
Parallel to the story, the secret about Vivaan's and his mother, Karuna's past continues to be a mystery as she and Dadaji feel uncomfortable when someone speaks about Vivaan and the story of his birth. She lies to Timnasa about Vivaan's childhood photos and refuses to tell Vivaan about the hospital, the doctor and the nurse present during his delivery when he asks for the information to complete his school project. After a new child enters Vivaan's school and tells him that his mother was a gynaecologist and practiced in Bharat Nagar 12 years ago, Vivaan tells this to Karuna. She gets afraid and the next day goes to meet Vivaan's new friend, Rinkoo's mother. Rinkoo's mother recognises her and asks her about her health. Karuna gets emotional and reveals that her second delivery was unsuccessful and that Vivaan isn't her son. The mystery, yet to be unveiled remains as a puzzle for the viewers.
