Friday, the day of the state of the union address. 6 hours and 11 minutes until the event. Back in Boston, the team wakes up from the recent explosion that destroyed their jet.

"Is everybody okay?" Asks Ronald.

"Yeah I'll live." Says Xavier.

"I'm just fine, but our jet is not." Says Alison.

The team then sees the damage done to their jet.

"They anticipated this, they knew that we would disarm the reactor, they were drawing us away from Washington... Like rats in a trap!" Says Ronald.

"And now we have no way of getting back to Washington, we're sitting ducks." Says Nuada.

Alexandria then looks up and she points at a blimp.

"Guys, I think we've found our way back home!" Says Alexandria.

"Uh... I don't see how that is going to get us home, but what choice do we have? Let's do this." Says Xavier.

"Okay, put out a flare, so that the guys flying it can see us." Says Ronald.

"One hot flare coming up!" Says Alison.

Alison then fires the flare into the air and the pilot of the blimp sees it. He then lands the blimp on the grass of the forest.

The pilot of the blimp then gets out, to see where the flare came from. He turns around to his left side and a fist comes in and knocks him unconscious.

"Sorry, but this is a national security matter." Says Nuada.

"Damn, you knocked his ass out Nuada." Says Johnny.

"Yeah... Didn't have time to ask for permission." Says Nuada.

Ronald then looks at the blimp and he calls Johnny over.

"Can you modify the engine and the thrusters on thing so it can fly faster?" Asks Ronald.

"Sure thing man. Hmmmm... This looks very adjustable, this will take me 2 hours or less to finish." Confirms Johnny.

"Alright guys, while Johnny is modifying the blimp, salvage any gear that you can. We're going to need it for this fight." Says Ronald.

Meanwhile back in Washington, Hobbs and Mary are still dealing with the situation at hand.

"So what do we do now Hobbs? The last hope that we have is gone." Says Mary. "

We don't know that yet." Says Hobbs.

"With all due respect sir, I heard that explosion on my earpiece! They did not respond or come into contact with any of us since then." Says Mary.

"I believe that they don't die easily, I got this team for a reason, and I think that they are not dead yet." Says Hobbs.

"Mary, you may not believe it, but I sure as hell do, with every fiber in my body. So I ask you this... Do you have faith in those guys?" He says.

Hobbs then leaves Mary to think about what he just said and he goes to the President's office, to request a extra guarding plan for the address.

"Did the unit you recruited disarm the bomb?" Asks President Johnson.

"Yes, but the team got caught in an explosion while they were preparing to departure from Boston. Their status is unknown, we need to up the security of this thing." Says Hobbs.

"Okay, but I need you to be the head of security for the address, because if what you say is true, then we have to be on high alert, no matter what." Says President Johnson.

Hobbs then calls a meeting that is full of FBI, CIA, Secret Service and Homeland Security agents.

"Okay everyone listen up, we have a situation here. The Presidents state of the union address is today and the bomb has been disarmed. But the unit that we sent on that mission, was caught in an explosion that destroyed their jet. It is unknown if they are alive or dead, however, regardless of the situation, we have to make sure that the President is protected. No matter what happens, we make sure no harm comes to POTUS." Says Hobbs.

"Now, all of you know your positions, stick to them." Says Hobbs.

5 hours have passed and President Johnson is preparing to give his state of the union address, unbeknownst to him, that danger lurks in the hall of Congress.

"Hobbs, we have the whole White House guarded from interior to exterior. We won't let anyone past the front door." Says Mary.

"Good job Mary, make sure we are locked down tight." Says Hobbs

"You got it sir, Mary out."

"Stay inside and guard the congressmen, make sure nothing happens to them." Mary Says to the FBI squad.

Meanwhile, back in Boston, Ronald and the others are preparing to take flight in the blimp back to Washington.

"Sorry it took so long Ron, I guess modifying a blimp is not so easy as I thought." Says Johnny.

"It's alright, as long as we get back to Washington and we end this once and for all." Says Ronald.

"I managed to get all of our gear from the wreckage, but we only have 60 minutes to get back to Washington." Says Nuada.

"Is our gear still operational?" Asks Ronald.

"Yeah, most of it is." Replies Nuada.

"Then there is no time to waste, we have to move out now. And guys, I have one order... Stay alive." Says Ronald.

The team then gets on the blimp and they race back to Washington.

The congressmen and women fill up the auditorium, back at the White House in Washington, awaiting the President's arrival.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, President Xnyder Johnson!"

The President then comes unto the podium, to the many congress members that are cheering him.

"Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans, it is with great pleasure that I announce that the state of our union is strong!"

Meanwhile, an FBI Agent then is talking to someone in his earpiece.

"The plan is set, when do we strike?" The FBI Agent whispers.

A distorted voice then replies, "Soon... Once he is halfway into his address, then we attack."

The FBI Agent then goes towards the back of White House, while the President was still giving his speech.

"While we are a strong nation, we have a difficult time ahead of us. We can be a greater nation, if we look at our mistakes and how we can learn from them, to leave behind a better future. If we are to flourish and survive as a stronger nation, we must unite and overcome our enemies, with the compassion and perseverance that we show every day. And so I ask you my fellow Americans, do you..."

The lights in the White House go dark and the mysterious FBI agent gives the signal for "Shadow of Death" to raid the White House. A proximity bomb destroys the auditorium door and the "Shadow of Death" members and a few rogue CIA, FBI and Homeland Security agents, begin to shoot and kill the members of Congress and the agents that are protecting them.

After they successfully accomplish their murderous spree, they surround the President and they escort him to the west wing of the White House.

"What is this?" President Johnson asks.

"This... This is a little hostile takeover Mr. President, it's nice to see you again sir." Says David.

"It's hard to believe those words, coming from a traitor, a man who turned his back on his own country and the values he swore to protect, for the opportunity to be an enemy of our nation!" Exclaimed President Johnson.

"I became an enemy, because of the lies and the deceit that this country has told me!" Says David.

"You said that my family would be safe during the aftermath of 9/11, but they were killed by Bin Ladin and his dogs!"

President Johnson then tries to talk some into David.

"David... Bin Ladin is dead, so why are you doing this?" Asks President Johnson.

"Bin Ladin was just the gun, a mad dog that murdered my wife and child. I wanted the man who caused this to happen... You!" Says David.

David then points a gun at the Presidents face and he tells him to get on his knees.

"So this is how you repay your country..."

David then interrupts President Johnson.

"It is not my country anymore!" He says.

"...By trying to blow it to hell with a nuclear device?!" Asks Johnson.

David then begins to laugh.

"You think that me and my team confiscated that bomb on our own... No, we were guided by someone who detests you just as much as I do." Says David.

The door to the Presidents office then bursts open and Lionel comes in with Mary and Hobbs, placed in handcuffs. He then forces them to his knees and the President looks on in disbelief.

"Lionel? Why?" Asks President Johnson.

"Well Mr. President, I did this because I knew that you would not uphold the vow, that you took, for this country. But, I however can. I gave these men that bomb, because I wanted to distract the response team, that you gave the OK for me and Hobbs to recruit; a response team that I have personally disposed of." Lionel says, while he let's out a sly smirk.

"You traitor, you fucking traitor!" Hobbs exclaims before spitting in Lionel's face.

"You used us, I trusted you, you son of a bitch and you side with these animals? Why?!" Hobbs asked, with rage in his voice.

"Why? It's simple, they grasped the concept of the crime, but they were too late to save the day. You and the President made a mistake, by trusting a unit that was bound to fail, but I will not make a mistake in trying to make this country a better and stronger nation." Says Lionel.

Meanwhile, Ronald and the others are in the Washington area and they see the situation that has transpired on the news.

"We're too late. The White House is under siege and I bet the place is crawling with 'Shadow of Death' agents. We have to step on it!" Says Ronald.

Back at the White House, Lionel then tells David and his crew to secure the exterior, while he remains with the President. "You know, Mr. President, I have heard you say, that you value the lives of every American citizen in the country... Well, how valuable is their lives to you?" Lionel then grabs Mary and he points his gun at her chest.

"Damn it Lionel, stop this now!" Yells President Johnson.

"There is only one way that this ends... I will stop, if you surrender your title as President of the United States." Says Lionel.

"I refuse!" Exclaims President Johnson.

"If you don't, then I will shoot this woman and soon, every person in this country, who would dare deify my authority." Says Lionel.

"Don't listen to him sir!" Says Mary.

"There is no way that I will negotiate with a man who is ultimately delusional and narcissistic" Says President Johnson.

"Delusional? You should look in the mirror, you think that we can defeat our enemies with compassion? You are living in your own fantasy world and you are your own biggest cheerleader!" Says Lionel.

"Now you have until the count of five to surrender your title... One... Two... Three... Four..."

Before he could count to five however, a rumble just shook the White House. While Lionel is distracted by the commotion, Mary kicks him in the groin and knocks him unconscious with a roundhouse kick.

"Mr. President, go, get out of here!" Says Mary.

Mary then manages to pick the locks to her handcuffs and she frees Hobbs from his bonds.

"What the hell was that Mary?" Asks Hobbs.

"I don't know, but we can't stay here." Says Mary.
