Chapter 67: The Capital

One month later...

Makoh: "(in awe) So this is the capital..."

The heroes have finally arrived at their ultimate destination, Washington D.C.

Rose: "(in awe) So this is where they've been hiding."

The streets are barren, but the lights and sounds of the city continues to echo.

Jade: "(cracking neck) Where are they hiding?"

Max: "I'd say we'd check the White House."

They stroll by the Washington Monument.

Chloe: "This place is quiet."

Emily: "If anything, too quiet."

Everyone equips their gear, with Denton sporting his claws and Jacob his short sword.

Jeremy: "They easily know that we're here."

The wind begins to blow as the sky grows stormy.

BroBot: ">:(."

Dante: "Well said."

They cautiously walk through the streets, awaiting for the enemy's move.

Bell: "It would be well said if he could speak."

CJ: "True."

They get closer and closer to the White House.

Thoris: "This just keeps getting weirder and weirder."

They can see the building in the distance.

Jay: "(sighing) Seriously? This is the definition of a trap."

They stop.

Serena: "We'll need a plan before we go in."

???: "Why a plan?"

At least 1000 soldiers surround the group, all armed with nothing but sidearms.

Lucas: "Because we're done killing people just following the orders of a power hungry maniac."

Soldiers: "What was that?"

The heroes go back to back.

Isaac: "We're saying Horus is a piece of shit who wants us to help him take over the world."

All soldiers take aim.

Soldiers: "You call yourselves American citizens? More like terrorists."

Phillip: "Maybe if he didn't try to use us then this wouldn't be happening at all."

All heroes lock gazes.

Caleb: "L-Let's wrap this up."

Everyone nods as if they know exactly what they're about to do.

Soldiers: "Guess you terrorists already have a plan."

Randy: "Want to hear it?"

They all split into seven groups before running headfirst into combat...
