( The morning of the raid , a few minutes before the military defenses failed)
Naomi , Papa Rajput and Mama Rajput had gone to the doctor because Naomi was feeling ill since the past few days and her appetite had became as little as a grain feeding bird.
Technically it was Rudra’s job to take her doctor , but with him busy in Omega as usual , Naomi’s in-laws had to take up the duty.
The preliminary tests had came back and the doctor sat with the three patients with a wide smile on her face.
Mrs Rajput asked ” What is it doctor , is Naomi alright? , No matter what therapy we need to do or no matter how expensive the Medicine is , please dont hesitate to tell us”.
The Rajput’s were anxious, the health of their daughter in law was extremely important to them.
But the doctors reply shocked them a lot as she said ” Yes , yes , i need to prescribe an detailed therapy, with many vitamins , calcium and nutrition tablets as well as a health routine and diet plan. But it’s not because your daughter in law needs it , it’s because of the small little baby inside her “.
Naomi’s eyes widened in shock , as mama and papa Rajput were stunned speechless , after a few seconds , Naomi said ” I- im pregnant? “.
The doctor said with a wide grin on her face ” Yes , congratulations my dear “.
An atmosphere of immense joy was created as this news broke out , as the Rajput’s cried and hugged each other in joy.
The biggest dream of the two parents was coming true as they were finally going to be grandparents.
Although Naomi was a bit shook up by the sudden news , she looked at her belly in joy and thought about how this baby would bring her and Rudra closer and smiled .
She thought about his shocked reaction when she would break the news to him , as she excitedly talked to the doctor about the proper way to take care of herself.
The doctor suggested that she quit Omega for the time being and focus on living a healthy life in real world , and go for long walks with her husband in the lush gardens of the upside for good health.
For Naomi such steps were music to her ears , as that was exactly what she wanted for herself too. Long walks with Rudra as they fell deeper and deeper in love , and now that the doctor suggested it , she had the perfect excuse to make him comply.
Even if he could not do it everyday and only once a week , she would still be the happiest person in the world.
She knew for a fact that while Rudra liked to be cold on the outside , he was a real sucker for family and cute stuff. When she would break the news to him , he would be the happiest man in the world.
In her head , she was already planning the surprise reveal.

( Meanwhile the traitor amongst the upside )
‘Shura’ was the name of the employee who was betraying the upside by sneakily putting down the defenses. However, not everything went as planned as he was shocked to realise that the security information he had collected about the upside was actually incomplete and there were many more layers of security than anticipated.
After the assassin incident, Ethan Grey had spent billions to upgrade the security of the upside and there were a lot more added security functions than Shura anticipated.
The only thing he could successfully do was to intercept the SOS signal from the military that their defenses had fallen, preventing the alarm to go off inside the upside.
With the elites still playing Omega at this time of the day , without the alarms being blared the local police and security forces were the only ones on patrol.
Shura was unable to open the gates or get the patrolling drones to stop circling , but he managed to successfully take control of the central alarm mechanism and disabled it to make sure than even when the patrolling policemen or the drones caught wind of the situation , no alarms could be raised.
When the raiding party reached the boundry wall of the tall steel enforced upside , they were shocked to see that the gate was still bolted shut.
The inside man had failed to deliver , and now it was upto them to execute a breach.
However , noticing the approaching crowd , the drones and the patrolmen brought out their guns and gave a blatant warning on the speakerphone to retreat!
The upside wall was mounted with state of the art machine guns controlled by AI , should the warnings not be heeded , the loss of life on the rebels side was sure to be massive.
However at this juncture, the necromancer Nero , the same guy who was the teammate of Rudra in the first VR Olympics and a dark faction ranker , stepped up and raised his hand , as countless undead started to be spawned from the soil below.
It was a scene straight out of a horror movie , as the man used his Omega powers in real life , summoning 10 thousand undead who became the cannon fodders infront of the group.
Alongside Nero were the Mori brothers , Patch and Jin , also one of the most proficient gamers of the country , but one of the many unfortunates who did not live in the upper side of the town.
While patch mori summoned zombies , being the zombiemancer that he was , Jin mori used his ultimate move the hell’s slash to leave a 12 inch scar on the upsides gate that shook-up the whole structure.
Sensing the hostility the defenses were activated as the guards as well as the AI open fired and the war finally broke out!
