*let's get some lunch guys*
*know any good local restaurants?*
*but of course*
and so they go to the restaurant but they would be interrupted. While they were eating there was an attack on the Smithsonian, and what's more is that the attackers were the same ones that attacked France in the first place
*it's the creeps who took over France in the first place*
*so they think of starting with the nation's capital huh, well I won't let them. Come on Musketeers let's get them*
suddenly the peace ties were off due to Lauren using her powers to take them off, she also used her powers to temporarily stop their advance and also shield herself and the rest of the Musketeers from harm. Soon after they were using their swords against the enemy, who also had swords and it was a nasty fight they were in
*you will never take America if I can help it*
*oh but we will, you see there's already another team that should have killed the Secret Service by now, and you know what that means*
well they do their best to quickly finish this group off and hand them over to the local police and then Lauren tells the Musketeers that scares them deeply
*come on, there's a second team that might have already killed the President by now*
and so they rush to the White House and find a badly injured Secret Service member
"they...snuck up...from behind...there was...nothing...I could...do to...stop them"
"rest, medics should be on the way, and we Musketeers are going to do our best to save the President"
and so they eventually make it to the oval office but by then it's too late
"drat, he's definitely been captured, but might be dead"
"so now what?"
"I see if I can't get in contact with the Vice-President and tell him what's happened, he'll be in control of the country until we can confirm or deny that the President is dead"
and so she quickly calls a very complicated number that only she knew
"hello...where's the VP?...I need to speak with him immediately...I'll hold...yes this is Kerenai we have a problem...the CiC is missing possibly dead...the same people who took over France...yes the Musketeers are right here with me...three hours? I understand...yes sir I will...understood...yes sir...yes sir...bye sir"
and with that she hangs up and makes sure that the area is secure
"okay, the VP wants a meeting with us once he gets here, I am also to check on the Secret Service that was here when the attack happened and try and get a statement as to what happened here"
"why did he say three hours?"
"simple, he's halfway across the country, he thinks he's over Kansas, he was on his way to California when I called him"
"why him and not the President?"
"simple, because it was his project that he was going to go to, they need to turn the plane around, so he's about three hours away if they go faster than they normally would"
"what about fuel?"
"the pilots are good, plus it will actually help them not have as much excess fuel as they normally would"
"got it"
and so three hours later the VP was in the oval office getting official debriefs from the Musketeers
"so, let me get this straight, Kerenai is in charge of the Musketeers that are in America if they are here on business and then once in France the person who has the highest rank in the French military is in charge"
"correct"
"the guys who attacked and abducted/killed the President came from France trying to take over the country but failed to put me into the equation"
"yes sir, if you will allow we will work the the FBI and Secret Service to search for you President and confirm or deny that he is dead"
the VP looks to Kerenai for her opinion
"it's the best option in my opinion sir...but I would like to make one change"
"what is it?"
"Phillipe, you will stay here with the VP until we can confirm or deny that the President is dead. I want him guarded at all times, by both the Secret Service and us Musketeers...especially if our enemies return"
"understood Kerenai"
"but how can one Musketeer make all the difference no offense to your strategic mind Kerenai?"
"simple, he knows the enemy better than the current Secret Service members, thus he can help them make appropriate plans for your protection...should the enemy come back"
"and if everyone falls and I am killed?"
"I haven't really thought about that, but I guess you might want to inform the person who would succeed you in the case of your death and you have yet to select a VP, should the President be truly dead"
and so once everything is settled the team selected to try and save the President heads out. Six weeks later the team comes back dirty, bruised, tired and with the President, but it's instantly noticeable that there is someone missing
"where's Kerenai?"
"dead, she sacrificed herself to get me to safety, it's actually why it took an extra two weeks to get back home"
"making sure you lost the guys who captured you and killed Kerenai?"
"exactly"
"tell us what happened"
