==Several Hours Later==
/Outside of Phoenix, Arizona. 4:23 AM/
/Chase opened his eyes to see him, along with the group tied up. He went wide eyed, when he saw several graves, dug in the ground/
"What the fuck is this?!" asked Chase
"Finally, it looks like sleeping beauty is awake" said a voice
/Chase turned his head, to see Baseplate, as the group woke up. Ulrich noticed Baseplate, and had a look of fury, and shock/
"BASEPLATE?!" asked Ulrich
"This is something that should have happened a long time ago..." said Baseplate
/Dylan scooted to Chase, and watched the scene. He then started cutting the ropes on Chase's hands, with a shard of glass he found, next to him. Meanwhile, Chase looked at Baseplate, with anger/
"Why're you doing this...?" asked Chase
/Baseplate chuckled/
"Why? WHY?! Because I got paid, that's why! America is a diseased warehouse, filled with vermin! It's time to start over, and make a new one!"
"You really think you're going to get away with this? Kidnapping the President of the United States, and most of his cabinet?!" asked Chase
"That's what happens in a military coup..." said Baseplate
/The group went wide eyed, with shock/
"Y- You're doing a coup against the US government!?" asked Jeremie
"I am. Operation Firestorm is now in full effect, with some help" said Baseplate
/The group noticed several FSB commandos, around them/
"What the hell are they doing here!?" asked Aelita
/The group then noticed that Baseplate, had a pistol in his hand, and was aiming right at Jennifer. Chase felt his heart pumping, fast, as he saw the scene./
"No" whispered Jennifer
"Don't! Don't kill her! Please! T- This is between me, and you... Kill me, and let all of my friends, and family, go..." begged Chase
/Baseplate smirked/
"No" said Baseplate
/Suddenly, Rebecca screamed, as Baseplate pulled the trigger. Jennifer fell backwards, and started gurgling, as the group had horrified looks/
"NO!" shouted Yumi
"YOU KILLED HER!" shouted Miranda
/Finally, Dylan cut through Chase's ropes. Chase undid his hands, then looked at Baseplate, with an expression that was beyond fury/
"YOU BASTARD!" shouted Chase, with fury
/Chase then ran to Baseplate, and tackled him. Chase then took Baseplate's gun, and started hitting him in the face, with the butt end of it/
"YOU SHOULD!" shouted Chase
/Chase hit Baseplate again/
"HAVE LET!" shouted Chase
/Baseplate felt pain shoot all over his body/
"ME TALK TO HER!" shouted Chase
/Chase then screamed, lifted up the gun, and shot one of the FSB commandos. He then ran to another one, and snapped his neck. He then used his body as a shield, as the other commando started firing at him. After he emptied his magazine, Chase pushed the body to him, and ran towards him. Ad the commando pushed his comrade off, Chase embedded a knife in his neck. Chase let the body fall, as the group had shocked looks/
"Oh my god!" said Rebecca
/Odd got his hands free, and started undoing the ropes on everyone. Everyone then got their hands free, and ran to Jennifer. Chase crouched next to her, and cradled her head in his lap./
"Is she alive!?" asked Aelita
"Jenny!? Jenny, please say something!" said Chase
/The group saw that she had her eyes open, and wasn't breathing. Sam took her arm and searched for a pulse. She finally sighed, and looked at Chase, who slowly went wide eyed with realization/
"No... Please god, no..." said Chase
"S- She's gone" said Yumi
/Chase stood up, and slowly walked backwards/
"No" whispered Chase
"I'm so sorry, Chase" said Aelita
/Chase heard a cough. He turned, and saw Baseplate, trying to get off of the ground/
"YOU!" shouted Chase
/Chase walked to Baseplate, and grabbed his shirt collar/
"No!" shouted Baseplate
/Chase then dragged Baseplate to a freshly dug grave. The group had horrified looks/
"Mister President, get over here!" said Chase
"But-" said Dylan
"GET OVER HERE!" shouted Chase
/Dylan slowly nodded, and walked to the side of the hole. Chase then re-grabbed Baseplate's shirt collar, and pulled him close, to look at him/
"You like killing unarmed women?!" asked Chase
"Wait! I- I'm sorry!" said Baseplate
"WELL THAT BRINGS HER BACK DOESN'T IT!" shouted Chase, with fury
/The group looked at Chase, with horror/
"You couldn't even let us say goodbye! You motherfucking piece of shit!" said Chase
"I just got one question... Do you have any last words?" asked Dylan
"No, please! Don't kill me!" said Baseplate
/Dylan held up a gun towards Baseplate, but Chase pushed it down. Dylan rose an eyebrow/
"What're you doing?" asked Dylan
"I'm making sure that this prick suffers before he dies..." said Chase
"What are you thinking?" asked Dylan
/Chase looked at a wooden box, that was inside of the grave. Dylan went wide eyed, and gasped/
"No" said Dylan
"If you don't want to help, then leave!" said Chase
"Chase... Jennifer wouldn't want you to do this-" said William
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT SHE WOULD WANT!" shouted Chase
"We... We should go into one of the vans" said Miranda
/Chase pushed Baseplate into the box, as the group put Jennifer in the back of a van, then went into it. Chase looked at Baseplate/
"Where are my parents?" asked Chase
"T- They're somewhere in Russia... That's all I know! Prizrak was the one who took the picture! Him and an FSB agent!" said Baseplate
"Who?" asked Chase
"Agent Oleg Harkov..." said Baseplate
"Anyone else?" asked Chase
/Baseplate nodded. Albeit, with fear/
"Jonathan Mettic" said Baseplate
"Mettic's alive?" asked Chase
"He's the one in charge of this... I was just following orders!" said Baseplate
/Chase frowned, as Baseplate had a worried look/
"S- So you'll let me go now, right? I- I told you everything you wanted!" said Baseplate
/Chase shook his head/
"Maybe you can get one of those first class tickets to the resurrection..." said Chase
/Baseplate had a look of horror/
"No, please... I beg of you!" said Baseplate
"So long Baseplate... Have a good trip!" said Chase
/Chase put the lid on the box, then let the box fall six feet into the hole. Chase got a shovel and started filling the hole, having a feeling of slight satisfaction , but mostly a feel of emptiness, as he heard muffled shouting from the box.../
/The group was sitting in the van, with a heavy silence. Dylan shook his head/
"Of all the ways to kill a guy... A goddamn bullet would have been enough..." said Galina
"He's never done this before... What the hell is happening to him?" asked Dylan
"He saw his wife die. But this is extreme even on his level" said Jeremie
"I don't blame him. God only knows what I'd do if Yumi died" said Ulrich
/Aelita sighed/
"How do we tell Wendy, and James?" asked Aelita
"I don't know..." said Sam
/The group jumped a little, when they saw Chase, get into the driver's seat of the van. He started the ignition, and then started driving away from the scene, without looking back to the group/
"Chase? Are you-" said Yumi
"Before you ask, no, I'm not fine..." said Chase
/Chase sighed/
"Dylan, we need to get you and everyone else somewhere safe..." said Chase
"You're right. Baseplate started a coup, and he probably has more soldiers" said Miranda
"Where would we all go?" asked Yumi
"My parents had a cabin in Colorado. I think its still there" said Jeremie
"Perfect" said Odd
/Sam sighed/
"The number one thing we have to do is make sure that Dylan stays alive" said Sam
"Guys, you really don't need to do that..." said Dylan
"You're the President. If you die, then the coup succeeds" said William
/Suddenly, Chase stopped the van, and got out. the group realized they were parked on top of a hill. Aelita rose an eyebrow/
"Why are we here?" asked Aelita
/Chase then opened the back doors of the van, and grabbed a shovel. The group looked at him, with worry/
"Chase?" asked Dylan
"Somebody help me get Jenny... And that coffin, that's in the back..." said Chase
/The group went wide eyed, as they looked at Chase/
"Y- You can't be serious..." said Miranda
"I am. Now please just shut up, and help me bury my wife..." said Chase
/The group continued to look at Chase. Finally, they nodded. Everyone got out, as Yumi grabbed Jennifer's hands, and as Rebecca grabbed Jennifer's feet. They put her in the coffin, as Chase got busy digging a grave/
