Sounds of gunfire can be heard everywhere, the sounds of storming Confederate soldiers heard as an Abandoned Trench can be seen, bodies of decomposed Union soldiers seen.

Footsteps were heard running across No Man's Land as a Single Man can be seen running to the trench. He quickly Slides into the trench. The man in question wore a worn-out Union Uniform, A Ammo belt across the man's chest, an Old Calvary Hat, As the Man pulls down the scarf that hid his face.

General Grant, Quickly puts the scarf back on as he hugs the wall of the trench, hearing approaching Confederate soldiers.

"I saw him over here!"

The General sees one of the Confederate soldiers on edge of the trench, He quickly grabs the leg of the confederate soldier and throws him into the trench with him, quickly grabbing the Man and turning around to three other Confederate soldiers.

General Grant Quickly presses the barrel of his revolver against the back of the Neck of the Confederate soldiers and quickly aligns it with another confederate soldier. He'd pull the trigger, the round exiting the confederate soldier's neck and hitting another in the chest as the other two quickly opened fire.

General grant quickly aims at one of the Confederate soldiers and hits him directly in the head as the last one grazed his Face.

"Bloody rebel."

He'd Fire three shots at the Confederate Soldier, killing him instantly as he quickly lets go of the Confederate soldier he held and emptied his Revolver on the man's head.

He'd reload his revolver as Two Union Scouts approach him, their uniform worn out and tattered.

"...Lincoln is dead sir."

The Union scout says as he closes his eyes, with a sad expression.

"God gave us Liberty and Lincoln...Let us fight to honor their memory."

He'd mutter as he turns around to see Surviving Union soldiers preparing the last stand, all of them exhausted, but unbroken as they prepare their final stand against the Steel fist of the Confederates.

General Sherman comes to Grant's side as they exited the trench, standing in front of No Man's land as they see the thousands of columns of Confederate soldiers. A Young Union Soldier joined the two Generals' Side, waving a torn US Flag as Grant sees a man in front of the Confederates on horseback. General Lee.

"...MEN! FOR UNION! AND FOR LIBERTY!"

The Union Soldiers stood up, bayonets in their rifles with Union soldiers lighting Molotovs.

"...CHARGE!"

The Union Soldiers yell their war cry as General Grant leads the charge, pulling out his saber as the Final Stand of the United States...Begins.

The Columns of Confederate soldiers still following Napoleonic Tactics fired a barrage of rounds toward Union troops as many were struck by the hail of fire. But those who could still run charged into Battle as a Determine General Lee also pulls out his saber, knowing the death of Grant will make the Union Soldiers surrender.

General Lee Charges on his horse as he aligns with General Grant with the two charging at each other. As lee Raises his Saber, Grant Quickly slides on the muddy ground as Lee Misses. Grant quickly took this as an Advantage and Turned away with Lee trying to turn his horse around. Grant Quickly Drives His Saber in General Lee's Neck, the blood of the Confederate General spraying on his face.

General Lee falls on the muddy ground from his horse, bleeding out as Grant Gets shot in the back.

Grant falls to his knees dropping his saber as he looks up to the rainy sky. Another gunshot was heard as Grant fell to the ground, and hit on the back of the head. Despite the Union General's death, the Union Soldier carried on, charging at the Confederate soldiers...The Battle of Gettysburg, The last battle the United States will fight.

Present Time

An A-10 Can be seen flying Above The British Countryside as the Plane approaches its target.

"This is Maverick 1-2. Contacts spotted, dozen Hostile Infantry and Armor. Engaging."

The A-10 Dives down on the CUA Convoy.

'BBBBBBBBRRRRRRTTTTTT'

A Hail of Lead hits the Convoy, destroying Multiple Tanks with a few surviving.

"Nice hit Maverick, War Daddy's gonna take out the stragglers."

As one of the Jefferson tanks attempted to reverse, around from a nearby treeline flew toward the tank, hitting the engine directly as the Jefferson tank explodes. A single Abrams tank can be seen in the treeline, hidden as it begins picking off the surviving tanks one by one Evan could be seen in the treeline with his Squad and a few AAF Soldiers as they watch the Tank engage the convoy.

"...We need one of those."

MacArthur says beside Evan, impress by the Power of the Abrams Main Battle tank as it finishes off the last Hostile tank.

"Alright, let's move."

Spook says as the Ground forces advance to the destroyed convoy with the Abrams also advancing.

Evan can be seen approaching a truck that one of the A-10s strafes as he checks the back of the truck to see Remains of what Looked like CUA Soldiers and...A slave child, the child breathing heavily as he somehow survived the worse but was struck by Shrapnel.

"Shit, MEDIC!"

He'd call out as he carefully carries the little girl out of the remains of the truck as an AAF Medic quickly arrives with a Corpsman and both of them place the girl on a stretcher.

As The girl was taken away, Evan stares at the bodies of the CUA Troops before walking back to the squad that was rounding up the survivors.

"Death Before Dishonor."

Evan would quickly turn around, hearing the voice as he sees nothing, no sign of anyone.

'...probably nothing.'

Evan Thought as a Dark Silhouette of a Union General can be seen in the treeline before disappearing
