The members who attended the government meeting immediately knew they were in trouble when they saw the jabberjay spying on their meeting from the bushes outside. Anxious voices shouted commands for aircraft to be launched after the jabberjay, who had already taken off with vital information on the government's plans of power. Katniss Everdeen told everyone to calm down.

"Everyone, listen up. We must not stop that jabberjay, but we must follow it. There might be hidden old capitol rebels among the old districts, and we must find them to stop them from gaining control again." she commanded while running and thinking about her daughter, rue. Don't worry, Katniss. You taught her how to fight! she thought. Unlike most monarchs and rulers, Katniss liked going into the action herself. She boarded her personal silent hovercraft, and took off alone. Quietly, her aircraft glided incredibly fast, past the speed of sound and caught up to the jabberjay. She locked her cameras onto the jabberjay to ensure that it didn't escape. On the screens that monitored the cameras that looked behind the aircraft, she saw the other aircrafts following her lead. There were two in total. One was piloted by his husband Peeta Mellark, and the other by the best pilot she had, Adam.

After a long flight, the jabberjay finally started to descend, and suddenly folded its wings and plunged at high speed at the ground, spreading it at the last millisecond and showing the magnificent gold feathers underneath its wings. It dodged underneath a pile of rubble. Katniss hovered her aircraft just high enough the ground to not disturb the environment, and put the aircraft into self hovering mode. She let the ladders out of the aircraft's door underneath, and climbed down. The others followed her lead. Katniss told Peeta and Adam to stay behind because they were too loud. They were offended, but didn't show it. She used her hunter's tread and carefully moved towards the hole the jabberjay had gone through, avoiding all objects, such as sticks and stones, that would make a single noise.

At last she reached the hole. Just as Katniss had expected, the place had signs of recent activity and people living here. There was a ladder at the entrance, and it lead down a very thick pipe into the sewers. She silently climbed down, and halfway she stopped abruptly. The place was no longer 'the sewers' any more. The floor was covered in smooth white marble, and... a capitol seal.

Her sensitive instincts told her that she shouldn't go anymore, but she was curious and took one more step. Immediately the alarms sounded and urgent voices started muttering, "That way! Intruder!" The last thing she saw was a person with a jabberjay perched up on his arm before she bolted up the ladder again, faster than anyone else could have possibly done. Although she was a hundred and seventeen years old, the potion also made the stages of life longer and better. She still had her old look, and stuck to the district-twelve hairstyle, a plain braid.

She met up with Adam and Peeta outside, and the look on her face told them what was going on. They rushed back to their hovercrafts and climbed up. As fast as sound, they hurried back to their capitol headquarters.

Katniss arranged another government meeting, and this time a very serious one. She explained everything that had happened and what she saw. The commander of the army looked confident. He said;

"We'll send in two squadrons of our specially-trained-for-very-important-emergencies officers, and I bet they'll clear out the putrid rat hole! Two squadrons! That's hell of a lot of power! 16 well trained soldiers!"

"Ok, so you do that. But we also need to prepare a-" replied Katniss.

"LOOK!" Pointed out Adam. Since the Capitol building was on the side of the city, the side closest to the district, they could oversee everything that was happening. At first it seemed a massive black carpet of was moving magically by itself over the districts, but Katniss drew out her binoculars, and informed that the 'black carpet' was in fact made up of individual capitol peacekeepers, dressed in black and not peacekeepers anymore. They now had the word 'Peacemakers' imprinted on their uniforms. Behind the vast army of peacemakers, the army showed off their new build tanks. You couldn't have expected more, but then came the aircraft and the jeeps. Katniss hadn't noticed, but what led the whole army were terror-striking muttations.

"I don't think all your squadrons would be able to beat them." Katniss pointed out.

"Um...yeah...I realized." the commander replied.

"How did they store all those vehicles and muttations without us noticing?" exhaled Peeta, face-palming himself.

"No time to talk! Gather all you troops, commander!" urged Katniss.

"Ok!"

The meeting disbanded hurriedly again. Adam went to get his air force pilots, and the commander went to gather his army. Katniss and Peeta went to the city monitory and informed the city on the large attack. Their sweating faces were shown all across the big screens of the city. Out of the window, Katniss saw the citizens rushing underground into cover. Adam and the commander, Rufus, had finished gathering their armies. Together, they all rushed onto the battlefield to face the rebels. She knew they could not defeat their vast army, but only time would be able to prove that. Her heart thumped, and she could also see Peeta beside her, swallowing anxiously.

Finally, the two armies reached firing range and they used their guns to try beat the Capitol. Katniss's army was mowing down the rebels, but they just kept on coming. From behind the enemy soldiers, the tanks and aircraft opened fire and blew up tens of soldiers at a time. On the other hand, the Capitol's army had tanks as well, but fired too late and blew up before even aiming correctly. Across 5 meters away, Katniss heard Rufus screaming at her, saying "Take Peeta and retreat! You wouldn't be able to last long here!"

She knew he was right, and she and Peeta fled. Katniss felt guilty, fleeing away like a coward. But there was no choice. Just as she reached the city border, she saw that the rebels' army only had tanks and aircraft left. But her army only had one working tank, 2 aircrafts, and 100 soldiers left. She was unsure of who would win, and opened a secret trapdoor and jumped down with Peeta. Through the cameras hidden around the districts, she saw that her army had lost. Now the terrible old Capitol had returned into power in only a few hours of struggle.
