While the so-called training continued, the Earth was finally aware of the mad Max Payne. After destroying a large city, a nearby town got a front row seat to the chaos, and an officer quickly phoned in to the military. After receiving visual confirmation, the U.S. began to form a perimeter around the area that hadn't been attacked. They believed that this was a new form of terrorism, and that the man who caused the destruction, was equipped with a bulletproof vest, a jetpack, and a launching mechanism for miniature nuclear warheads. In every city, people worked together to create fallout shelters in the case of another attack. The military's plan to reinforce the borders of every city in the nation was aptly dubbed "Operation Jericho". Payne's next target was Chicago.

Commander: "Lieutenant, what's the status on the ML?"

Lieutenant: "I checked a minute ago sir, they're having trouble getting the laser targeting system to focus on small objects, sir."

Commander: "Well tell them to double their efforts #$ you! We're not running a carnival, we've got no time for screw ups!"

A guard ran down from a tower.

Guard: "Commander! Airborne human unit coming from sector 3.7! And moving fast!"

Commander: "That's him! Raise the alarm!"

A wailing siren blared throughout the city.

P.A.: "All civilians please make your way to the nearest fallout shelter. This is not a drill. Do not panic. All military personnel proceed to the Eastern side of the city immediately! Enemy has been spotted on the Eastern side of the city."

While the citizens fled for their lives, the military were busy preparing for battle.

Commander: "What's the problem! Fire the ML!"

Missile control: "Target is too small! We can't get a lock!"

Guard: "Sir, the target is moving past point blank range! And still coming!"

Commander: "At any closer than that, a nuke of any size would destroy the prey as well as the predator. Aim all artillery at the target, we may have a kamikaze! God help us."

Max Payne landed just behind the armada. He pointed his hand to fire a beam of energy at them, but a large churning sound made him stop and clutch his stomach. A soldier raised his M16.

Soldier: "Freeze! Stay where you are!"

Max turned around, but just looked annoyed.

Max Payne: "I'm hungry. I'll kill you all later, first I need lunch."

He continued to walk straight into a fast food restaurant called "Burgeropolis", closely followed by several-stunned silent, soldiers. He noticed the locked door with a steel frame, and a one-piece glass body, and busted through the glass. Then he put his hand through, and unlocked the door. Then he opened the door from the outside, but opened it so hard that it flew off its hinges and landed in the now ruined windshield of a car. The soldiers looked dumbstruck at the results. Max continued to walk into the restaurant and unwrapped a double cheeseburger. He took a bite, but quickly spit it out. It seemed to have gone cold. He held it in his hand, and with the other, he charged some energy, and in a split second, the burger was steaming. Then, out of nowhere, a soldier with a bazooka fired his weapon straight at Max. Taken by surprise, it hit him dead in the face. There were a couple of handshakes, and high fives, until the dust settled revealing a burger less, dust covered, and very angry Max Payne.

Max Payne: "If you wanted to die, you should have made an appointment."

Max Payne raised his hand toward them…
