Anthony didn't waste any time to kick Josh when he was literally down; he knelt down, and told Josh, "How do I know the system works? Let me share with you some details."
Back at the crates, Ryan looked around the opening of the hangar in order to learn more about the facility through his binoculars when all of a sudden he spotted Rachel getting closer to the building. He watched as Rachel crawled across the ground in the rain and stood on her knees once she arrived behind a stack of crates.
As he observed Rachel sneaking around and turned to look at Anthony and Josh, Sabu came on the walkie-talkie, and asked, "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, can you hear me?"
Ryan pulled the walkie-talkie out of his backpack, and responded, "I'm here, did you fix the Hotspot and send the message?"
"Yes, but we have a problem. Detroit has sent a fighter squadron to attack the station, you have to evacuate immediately," Sabu told Ryan from the plane as Megan was busy packing all of Ryan and Sabu's items to move them over to the new plane she found.
"No, no, no, no, tell them to put the strike on hold, Rachel's near the hangar!" Ryan screamed frantically, ordering Sabu to inform the Detroit branch to not attack Station Four.
While Ryan observed Rachel, who was observing a man in a dark overcoat staring down someone on their knees, Anthony, the man in the overcoat being observed by Rachel, stared Josh, the man on his knees, and said slowly as he counted the points he made with his fingers, "Chappaqua, Wendy Rogers, her band of Liberal cucks, the last relic of the Democratic party, all gone."
After processing the information Anthony gave him, the fact that his work wiped out an entire town of the face of the earth, Josh courageously looked Anthony in the eyes, and replied, "You'll never win."
"Now, where have I heard that before?" Anthony chuckled in response, referring to the various pundits in the media who said that Thump could never win the election, along with Post Commander Sabin who said it to Lynn Sr., causing him to replay the tragedy that unfolded outside his house the day his family was dragged onto the base in his mind.
Meanwhile, at the Resistance's Detroit branch, the few personnel that were still awake at 2:30 AM were doing their jobs, mainly responding to various communications. Unlike the LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Denver branches of the Resistance, Detroit was not blessed with mountains to hide their facility from UST satellites. While the intelligence faction of the branch was based in the Packard Automotive Plant, which was once one of the most advanced car factories in the world and now laid abandoned and hid the Resistance from peering Deplorable eyes, the military faction hid their equipment on one of the branch member's property, located in the rural area of Richmond Township in Macomb County, a county which was crucial for Thump to win Michigan during the election. At the Packard Automotive Plant, Annie Wetta, a former Librarian with short reddish-brown hair and glasses who was kicked out of her home in Royal Woods when the UST began building Station Four received a coded message from Sabu. Once she decoded the message, she read the first line that read "Relay from Captain Rodriguez" to herself.
"Commander Kikuchi," Wetta said, calling for her commanding officer and fellow former Royal Woods resident, Kotaro Kikuchi.
Once Kotaro, a dark haired Asian man, approached Wetta, she read, "Captain Rodriguez requesting a delay on air support, Resistance forces on sight, please confirm."
This sent chills down Kotaro's and everyone else's spines as their fighter jets had taken off over a minute ago, but he snapped out of his state of shock, and screamed, "Get Master Sergeant Santiago on, get him on now!"
"They're already engaged, sir," Howard McBride, a red haired man who was one of the earliest members of the Resistance, eerily responded.
The fighter jets had past the point of no return, they could no longer return to their base as they had been detected by Station Four's flight trackers. Immediately, an emergency siren went on all across the base, catching the attention of everyone. Josh moved his eyes from Anthony's face, Anthony got up from kneeling to look around, and Rachel got up from behind the crates as she heard the roaring sound of fighter jets flying through the air get louder and louder.
Coming from the northeast, a group of ten fighter jets stolen from the UST military and now painted with blue stripes to distinguish them as Resistance, fighters came into view. These ten planes were a just some of the Detroit branch's Air Force squadron, affectionately dubbed "Loud Squadron" by the squadron's Master Sergeant. Five of the squadron members flew F-15 Eagle jets, four flew F-15E Strike Eagle jets, and the leader of Loud Squadron, Master Sergeant Bobby Santiago Jr., a young man with dark hair and tanned skin who participated in the first mission to steal military vehicles and weapons for the Resistance and learned how to fly a plane by traveling the country to help establish Resistance bases all around, flew in the Detroit branch's sole F-16 Fighting Falcon. As they got closer to the main building, everyone got a better view of the jets, including Peter and Ione who were standing close to the gate on the inside of the perimeter. All of a sudden, every member of Loud Squadron launched one of their bombs at Station Four, shaking the ground and frightening everyone.
Realizing that Sabu's message had been sent too late, Ryan said to himself before packing up in order to get closer to main hangar, "Rachel, no."
"Return fire! To your stations! Get out fighters in the air, now!" Post Commander Sabin ordered the various Deplorables around him to do as Loud Squadron passed over them and prepared to turn around for another bombing run.
Believing that there was no point in hiding anymore, a Rachel overpowered by emotion ran out from behind the crates, and yelled out, "Daddy!"
This call immediately caught the attention of everyone in the area, Post Commander Sabin, Lynn Sr., Anthony, and of course, Josh. When Josh first heard the voice, he thought he was going crazy, until he saw his middle child standing next to the hangar, and while the voice was unfamiliar to Lynn Sr., he did recognize the jacket and beanie that the woman who screamed was wearing as ones owned by his two eldest daughters. Josh immediately began walking towards Rachel, but unfortunately, Loud Squadron had turned around and were preparing to drop some more bombs. Anthony looked up and saw Loud One, the jet being piloted by Master Sergeant Santiago, getting closer to the main hangar as Josh got closer to his daughter. Josh and Rachel were now about half way to the spot where they would meet when all of a sudden a bomb dropped by Loud Leader dedicated a few yards from where Josh was standing, sending him, Rachel, about ten Deplorables, Lynn Sr., Post Commander Sabin, Anthony, and his six Deplorable Guards into the air.
Loud Squadron had just passed Station Four again, and were preparing for another bombing run when Post Commander Sabin ordered five UST Air Force fighter pilots to go into the air and shoot the enemy jets down. Meanwhile, in the gun turret on top of the main hangar, two Deplorables manned the weapon and prepared to shoot down passing enemy jets as well. Once Loud Squadron turned around for another bombing run, along with trying to shake off the UST jets that were trying to bring them down, the Deplorables in the gun turret had a clear shot and shot down one of the F-15 Eagle jets, Loud Seven. The destruction of this jet caught the attention of everyone, including Ryan, who was trying to get closer to Rachel but had to fend off Deplorables that spotted him, and Sabu and Megan, who were busy moving two crates of supplies from their crash site on 1216 Franklin Avenue to a hangar in Station Four where their new plane awaited them.
While Rachel lied on the ground unconscious after being thrown up into the air and dropped down, two of Anthony's Deplorable Guards picked up their dazed commanding officer off the ground as Post Commander Sabin told him, "Lieutenant Collins, you need to evacuate, we'll deal with it."
As Anthony and his Deplorable Guards prepared to evacuate Station Four in the C-20 Gulfstream IV, the Deplorables controlling the gun turret were on a role as they shot down another one of the F-15 Eagle jets, Loud Nine. At the same time, three of the UST jets were in pursuit of Loud One, but before any one of them could take a shot at the leader, one of the F-15E Strike Eagle jets, Loud Three, managed to shoot down two of the UST jets. Unfortunately, Loud Three was then shot down by another one of the UST jets, leaving Loud One unprotected. Seeing that this Resistance jet was in trouble, Ione grabbed her husband's sword from his backpack and waited until the UST jet chasing Loud One passed a certain spot so that she could throw Erebus in the air like it was a boomerang. As Loud One was dodging being shot down by the UST jet, the pilot in the UST jet did not notice the sword flying towards him, catching him by surprise when it damaged the right wing. Miraculously, as the UST jet spun out of control, it crashed into the gun turret, killing the pilot and both of the Deplorables inside the gun turret.
Seeing that they had made four bombing runs and had already lost three fighters, Master Sergeant Santiago decided to order the remaining members of Loud Squadron to return to their base. Before they left Royal Woods, two of the F-15E Strike Eagle jets, Loud Two and Loud Five, made sure to shoot down the remaining two UST jets, and one of the F-15 Eagle jets, Loud Six, made sure to bomb the hangar where the UST jets came from to ensure that none of them would follow them. Now that they were in the clear, the seven remaining members of Loud Squadron flew away into the rainy night as if nothing had occurred in Station Four.
As Anthony boarded his plane and planned to head back to his base in Boston, he turned around to observe the damaged the Resistance had created. The two Deplorable Guards still on the ground pointed their rifles towards the sky as Anthony looked down to the ground and spotted the unconscious body of Joshua Alcroft, mangled and covered in blood and explosion residue. Before making his way into the plane, he spit a wad of his saliva towards Josh, as an insult for the role he played in luring the Resistance to attack Station Four, as well for just being Jewish.
