Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 — Phase 2 (Part 1)

12 December 2025 — 6:26 pm.

Alice noticed the Secret Service agents approaching them, tightly holding their weapons. The sound of helicopter rotor blades dominates the sky.

Alice took a step back, she looked behind only to see the masked figures in the road between Ellipse and the White House going back in the Ellipse.

Only some masked remains in the White House garden.

Lioness superior watches everything however she doesn't have a strategy to fight against those well trained- discipline Secret Service agents.

Wolf superior still stays in the Herbert C. Hoover Federal Building, no one knows what he is doing there.

Superior Mengu looked at the situation, he tightly gritted his teeth behind the mask. He pointed the gun towards one of the victims in the Washington Monument.

"I have already told—"

Before he could even finish his sentence.

"THUDD!! "

The masked figure just beside him suddenly dropped down, blood flowing from his head, mixing with the victim's one.

Superior Mengu almost jumped from the sudden noise, noticing the masked figure plummeting down, he loosen the grip on his gun.

He looked down in the red grass.

"They wanna catched all the superiors alive. That's why they don't shoot me but if I kill some more. " Superior Mengu told himself. "The sniper would kill me. "

Meanwhile, the Secret Service agents covered the whole White House front, some getting down on one knee pointing their guns towards Alice and other masked figures.

Alice gulps hard, her heart breathing getting faster.

"God damn it! " She said to herself.

In the meantime, Superior Mengu looked down, his mind went completely blank, he couldn't find a solution for it.

All of a sudden, he heard someone walking in the grass behind the Washington Monument. Masked figures turned in horror, and a group of people approached them.

They realized that when the military had occupied the Lincoln Memorial, no one came to look after them, indicating that the military was planning something.

And the "Plan" is coming towards them.

"Fuck you Yin. " Superior Mengu cursed.

Out of nowhere, a memory of Lord Yin surfaced in his mind.

6 December 2025, 5pm.

"Now everyone may go. " Lord Yon calmly said.

In a big, close meeting hall-like room, a long wooden table is accompanied by many chairs, a projector screen in front.

Almost every superior, Crow, Rabbit and lioness leaves the room. The only superior seat is the Superior Mengu.

Lord Yin noticed him.

"Why don't you go? " Lord Yin questions peacefully.

"I just wanna ask you something. " Superior Megnu stands from his chair. "What if your plan failed? What if we got caught. What will you do? "

Lord Yin didn't say anything

Irritated, Superior Mengu raised his voice.

"Those people are not objecting to you because you have made their mentality to follow you, to become your slave but I am not like those. So tell me if we start to lose what we will do!! "

"I like your way of thinking. " Lord Yin chuckles.

"Let me answer your question, an important one. "

Lord Yin sits.

"You will not get caught, every single superior there knows what to do. You just have to trust them and for your next question, them trusting me. "

He paused.

"I earned that. Even you knew it. "

By saying that Lord Yin left the room, leaving Superior Mengu alone to think about something alone.

6:28 pm.

The flashback ended with no solution to defend Superior Mengu, the grassy footsteps voice became closer and closer, sweat started to soak behind his mask.

"Get on your knees or your companion will get shooted. "

The driver of the helicopter in the middle, on top of the center of the White House entrance, ordered all masked figures in the Ellipse.

The lioness superior looked down, her mind racing with mysterious thoughts. Noah looked at her in fright.

Then the lioness superior got on her knees, she locked her hands on the back of her head.

Noah's eyes widened behind her mask in terror, his mouth fell down in disbelief.

"Are you serious! " Noah silently cursed the Lioness superior.

One by one every masked figure gets on their knees without any complaint. Noah watched them in puzzled condition, after a second he finally started to come down.

Suddenly, he felt an itch in his calf while trying to get on his knees.

He looked below to show an armed rocket launcher just laying close to his legs. Stunned, when he looked at the direction of the Lioness superior, she just gave him a small nod.

"Strange moment, I think I have to shoot him. " The government sniper requested, hand close to the trigger, about to pull it, the aim directly at Noah.

Noah breathes heavily.

He swiftly grabs the rocket launcher, tightly clenched, Noah just targeted straight at the sky, not even choosing an exact helicopter.

He pulled the trigger.

BOOM!!!

The helicopter in the middle erupted, straight in the blades. It collapsed with the others one close to him creating a big blast, they plummeted straightway to the overhead of the White House building.

Some crashed into the head of the Secret Service agents, some in the garden.

The whole sky around the White House got devoured by the smoke, the clouds became pitch black. The smog from there started to spread around rapidly.

The smoke's depth made it impossible to see what's really happening inside.

The fire which once had a hope of calming down rose once again, becoming even more horrified. Terrorizing people hopes.

"Why don't you shoot him!! " An official shouted at the sniper.

The sniper didn't answer, his hand fell from his still, perfectly balanced gun in the tripod. His occiput hides his face, he stays weirdly unconscious.

The blood started flowing from his face.

"Not the rabbit one is good at sniping. " Wolf superior praises himself.

Wolf superior stays at the Herbert c hoover federal building, his hands grabs a modern sniper, resting in a big bipod.

His voice became serious.

"The USA can't escape their sins, brother. I will avenge you"

Wolf superiors watched the White House which had been engulfed in a deep inky haze, no one can tell if anyone there could survive the horrible explosion.

Unexpectedly, Wolf superior noticed some figures emerging from the smoke. He wasn't the only one shocked.

Every army soldier blocking them was stunned, the reporters far away, normal civilians, the masked even the superiors couldn't believe their eyes.

The blind folded victims in the Washington monument for their goosebumps raised, they don't even know what is going on. All of them started to cry in panicked

Out of fifteen masked figures, only three arise from the disaster like situation.

Their cloak and mask were covered in filthy dirt, the lowest part of the cloak got badly burned.

Noah watched that the middle masked figure had green lustrous glimmering eyes. He just sighs in relief.

Two military helicopters tear through the White House smoke, flying away through the sky.

From the distance, Superior Mengu grabs his chest in relaxation.

Not even a second later, he again heard those grassy quiet footsteps becoming closer and closer to him.

"Looks like it's not over. " He turned around.
