"How has the revolution captured an entire capital?" Sam asked as she and her top general, The Engineer, warped into the center of the city. The Engineer wore the same armor that The Architect wears, but without the gauntlets. Revolution soldiers instantly aimed guns at the two. Sam had The Necklace on and created a green force field. The rebels fired and the bullets were reflected back at them. "How many casualties?" Sam asked. "Almost 80." The Engineer said. Sam and The Engineer walked into the capital building, and they went straight into Robert's office. "Hello, Robert." Sam said as The Engineer aimed a gun at him and she sat down. "What do you want, Sam?" Robert asked angrily as he put his hand on a pistol under his desk. "I want to talk." Sam said leaning forward. "About what? How you betrayed the Alliance?" Robert asked angrily. "I brought peace to this universe." Sam said. "Peace under the Deity's rule. He will kill you when you leave this universe!" Robert shouted. The Engineer fired a warning shot. "I've already left this universe, and I'm still fine." Sam argued. "I'm going to defeat you." Robert said. "No, you won't." Sam said calmly. Sam looked at The Engineer and nodded. He aimed his gun at Robert. Robert ducked under the table and grabbed his pistol. The Engineer fired and it broke a window. Robert pressed a button from under his desk that called in a ship.
Sam lifted the desk up with The Necklace. Robert was in the open. He fired at The Engineer, but his shielding absorbed the shots. A ship came by Robert's window and a hatch opened. Jasmine and John were aiming two miniguns at Sam and The Engineer. The two fired all their bullets at both of them. The Engineer was killed. The bullets pierced his shields and then his armor and then tore him apart. "You killed my best general!" Sam yelled angrily as she blasted John and Jasmine's ship out of the sky. Robert ran to the window and winked. He jumped out after the ship. He grabbed the crashing ship. "Need an extra parachute?" John asked peeking his head out the hatch. "Yeah, hand it over." Robert said holding out his hand. John gave Robert the extra parachute and the three jumped off the crashing ship.
"Dammit!" Sam yelled as she blasted the ground multiple times. All the shots missed. "I can go after them, or bring the public back on my side." Sam thought to herself as she opened a warp portal in the broken window. She stepped through it and warped back to the spire. She went to her office and cut her arm with a laser from The Necklace. She started a broadcast. "I just came from RSU2 RSP5, where I attempted to make peace with this 'Revolution Syndicate'. They attempted to assassinate me instead of talk. The Engineer was killed. These terrorists must be dealt with, I'm enlisting a draft in order to recruit new generals. Hail The Architect." Sam announced. The public believed Sam's lie, and the draft brought in millions of new generals. The Revolution Syndicate saw the announcement and began preparing to take RSU2 RSP5 back, and defend from the incoming armies.
