1:08 PM – Sharma Industries, Top Secret War Room
For years, Sharma Industries had claimed to be a peaceful conglomerate—focused on innovation, clean energy, defense contracts, and, most importantly, public relations.
But few knew about Protocol RAVANA.Fewer had ever dared activate it.
Now, inside the subterranean war command chamber, red warning lights blinked in rhythm with escalating alerts. The AI system, codenamed HANUMAN, was rapidly compiling data on the multiversal breach.
Arjun Sharma, standing at the center, arms crossed, scanned the live footage of Amar's crash into the ocean, the doppelgänger's interference, and the anomalies detected in the sky.
"Status?" Arjun asked, voice sharp.
"Multiversal instability confirmed," said Captain Ayesha Rane, head of Tactical Response. "There's a 78% probability that this 'Khurana Variant' isn't the last. And those rifts in the sky? They're multiplying."
Another technician chimed in. "We detected three new dimensional echoes in the past thirty minutes. One above Siberia. One near Mexico City. And one…" he hesitated, "...directly over Delhi."
The room fell silent.
Arjun exhaled, then tapped a console. "Initiate full lockdown of all R&D centers. Move Vajra prototypes to mobile vaults. Prepare Project Dronacharya for multiversal targeting."
"But sir—" Ayesha frowned. "Project Dronacharya's last simulation—"
"I said prepare it," Arjun snapped.
"Yes, sir."
1:15 PM – Global Coordination: Bharat Calls Its Heroes
Across India, encrypted emergency communication pulses were sent out via Sharma's satellite grid.
To Ladakh: a team of ancient warriors codenamed The Rudras, guardians of mystical relics hidden in the Himalayas.
To Chennai: a secret underwater base housing the NAGAs, India's covert naval super-squad.
To Hyderabad: a cloaked research hub developing quantum combat suits, codenamed RAKSHASA Protocol.
To the Prime Minister's Office: an alert flagged "Level-KAAL" — a rarely used security designation that meant only one thing: Multiversal Threat Detected.
Within seconds, Bharat's elite response forces, both scientific and supernatural, were being briefed.
The world had changed. And it was happening fast.
1:28 PM – Emergency AI Activation
Inside the Sharma Tower's AI Core, HANUMAN, the superintelligent defense protocol, went into autonomous tactical mode.
Its glowing holographic face flickered into being, voice neutral but resonating like a digital sage.
"Threat parameters exceed current reality bounds. Initiating Defense Layer Four. Preparing recommendations for Counter-Multiversal Containment."
Arjun stepped closer. "Give me asset deployment options."
"Deploying 3 elite units to Mumbai. Two doppelgängers are active. Anomaly signatures suggest external manipulation from unknown quantum origin."
"Deploy satellite beam test in 4 minutes. Warning: May cause minor space-time dislocation in local sector."
"Do it," Arjun ordered. "We need control before Delhi lights up."
1:33 PM – Unveiling the Secret Arsenal
Behind sealed titanium doors beneath Sharma HQ, India's most advanced tech was being powered up.
Ajeet-Class Exo-Suits calibrated for dimension-locked enemies.
AI-guided Chakra Drones, designed to disrupt multiversal signals.
Brahmastra Protocols — energy weapons powered by synthetic neutronium, restricted by every major treaty and never tested.
As the countdown to activation ticked down, Ayesha muttered under her breath, "Feels like the apocalypse."
Arjun looked at her.
"No," he said. "This is just the beginning."
1:35 PM – Arjun's Private Quarters
Alone in his quarters for a moment, Arjun gazed at a framed photo—an older man beside a young Arjun in front of a reactor.
"Dad," he murmured, "You always said the multiverse was theory. Now it's crashing through our skies."
He touched the frame.
"I won't let them take Bharat. Not this world. Not again."
Then his comm crackled.
"Sir," said Ayesha, "We found something… under the Arabian Sea."
"Another doppelgänger?"
"No. A gateway. And it's… opening."
