"We are now live in Washington DC, near the Herbert C Hoover Federal building. "
The female news anchor with short brown hair and eyes, wearing a grey suit and skirt professionally reports the current situation of the place.
The military covered the boundaries of buildings captured by The Balanced of Red with tight security.
"As you can see, the military had surrounded the terrorists from every corner. "
The camera zooms in the Washington Monument ground showing the blindfolded victims sitting helplessly. Superior Mengu examined them with other masked figures, ignoring the military and news anchor.
While reporting, a bunch of other news reporting vans started to arrive there. She noticed them yet just rolled her eyes and continued to report.
Suddenly!! An explosive sound made her goosebumps rise, aghast when she looked upward she saw a drone explode from a rocket launcher, holded by the lioness superior standing in the Ellipse.
The lioness superior exhales in boredom, she puts down the rocket launcher, replacing it with the megaphone.
She brings it close to her mouth.
"We are now only gonna wait only half an hour for our the special chair blueprint and then in every five minutes every civilian here will die one by one. "
A smirk forms behind her mask.
"We are also gonna count the president as a civilian after all everyone in this country is equal. "
Meanwhile, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, the dead body of the president's bodyguards were rotting who were fighting the masked figure, blood spreading out through the ground. Even some masked figures lay dead, bullet holes in their mask, some even got shot in the different parts.
Even some agents who were dressed as civilians lay down, dead from the bullet firing.
Their bodies were getting covered by a white cloth, both the masked figure and the bodyguards ones by the other masked figure.
The bullet marks from the firing permanently became a stain in the floor and the stairs, Immortally this moment.
Wolf superior stays in the Federal building, spying on the military through a window.
"Those bastards aren't even moving. " He growls.
Outside, Superior Mengu walked around The Washington monument, looking at their actions.
Some chanted prayers, some faces wet in sweat, some breathing heavily. The children's cry behind the blindfold yet their weeps can be heard.
All of a sudden, a toddler, not even a year old, started to cry loudly. His cry broke the murderous silence, and Superior Mengu noticed him.
The mother noticed way before anyone, she removed her blindfold as soon as possible. After removing she saw superior Mengu staring directly at her soul.
She wore a grey shirt with the same color skirt with black hairs, her eyes filled with fear but still had a spark for protecting her child.
The lady carefully removed the blindfold of the baby, after she looked at Superior Mengu with eyes filled with terror.
"Please.. Please don't do anything. She is just a baby, she doesn't understand anything, I will..I will make her quiet! " She begged while tears streamed down her face.
Superior Mengu gave her a stare with his merciless eyes and walked off. The lady sighs in relief, the baby somehow shuts up. Before the lady can notice it the masked figure again blindfolded both of them.
Again the atmosphere became unusual, everyone became silent praying to go home safely, the military observed their activity with high guard. The masked figure secured the place they captured, the news reporter stayed outside and tried to get the footage.
"They aren't doing anything now. "
One of the sergeants there said in the walkie talking in a serious tone.
"Understand. "
One of the people in the suit with hair covered with a cap, many medals hanging on his suit replied in the Pentagon. While talking an agent comes near him and whispers in his hair.
"They are calling you to the United States Capitol for security management. "
—————
5:10, United States Capitol.
"Those terrorist's plan might be to capture the White House and then kill the president. We should have done something before they did anything more dangerous. "
In the House chamber, all the benches were all filled with all the worried members of the Congress in the joint session.
In front of a high wood carved rostrum sits the vice president and the speaker of the house with an American flag hanging vertically behind, the front row seats on the floor directly facing the session which is preserved for minority leader and majority leader.
However, the Majority leader seat remained empty.
The one who spoke was the same person who shouted at Agent Black to get the information for the president's situation, he sat down in a grumpy mood.
The vice president with a small face and brown beard, now the president because of the 25th Amendment, stood up and spoke.
"Right now we have a plan to invade those terrorists and save our citizens and president. You might have read it. "
The file rested on every congress man table which had been readen by all.
He hesitated before speaking.
"Whoever agrees with this please stand one. "
No one stood up. An awkward silence stays in the room
Out of nowhere, a black woman sitting in the minority seat with long curly hair with a pink shirt covered with a black blazer and skirt stands up.
She cleared her throat and spoke.
"No matter what our situation is, we always fight till our last breath. Even if we have low chances of succeeding, we fight and win. "
She raised her voice.
"And now when those bloody terrorists think we will do whatever they want, they are wrong! This plan made by the Defense Department might not be perfect but it still gave hope and now we will save all the citizen and the president and then send those devils to the deepest hole of hell!! "
Every single person their hearts there got hit by a strong wave of nationalism. All of them think for a second, then..
Everyone started to stand up one by one, even the grumpy old minister standing. By some seconds, not even a single one in the congress was sitting.
The vice president made a proud soft smile then answered.
"By the consent of everyone in the Congress, this operation has been approved. "
