On the Island Nation of Nova Britannia, Elizena Hendry and Scott Gable approach Prime Minister Farley Rush. Elizena demands to know why Rush hasn't been feeding their people. Minister Rush mentions that ever since they gave the British Money to aide them during both World Wars, and the Bloodshed War, it depleted Nova Britannia of all their money, so they are broke. Scott asks what he plans on doing, and Minister Rush mentions that since Nova Britannia has become a failed state like Sokovia, the best thing to do is abolish the Nova Britannian Government, and have another country take over. Minister Rush apologizes, before leaving to announce the decision.

Michael watches the news as Minister Rush announces the decision to close the Nova Britannian Government, and leaves to inform Zeke. Meanwhile, as Prime Minister Goddard Shaw leaves his meeting in Sheffield, someone snipes and assassinates him. His Deputy Minister is also shot and killed. The assassin begins to run and mentions one leader is down, 51 to go.

Zeke, Jennifer, Gordon, and Lena watch the television as Minister Farley announces his decision to shut dwon the Nova Britannian Government forever. As Zeke shows disappointment, the television gives out breaking news that Prime Minister Goddard Shaw has been assassinated. As Lena is horrified, Zeke and Gordon sigh in disappointment. The news caster announces that for any politician that would like to replace Minister Shaw and his Deputy can come to the London City Council Building to start discussing partires. Zeke leaves, and is questioned by Gordon where he is going. In The Garage, Zeke tells Arthur that he is in charge of the British Response Division until the elections have been finalized. As Zeke leaves, Arthur goes to The Prism and orders all B.R.D. forces to head to the training fields.

Elizena returns to her home in Calveria, where she approaches her brother, Mason. Mason asks if they're going to make it, and Elizena mentions that the government has been shut down, and Nova Britannia has no more money. Mason then coughs, and asks his sister if he's going to die. Elizena begins to question this, and Mason slowly passes away of starvation. Elizena begins to cry as Scott arrives. Elizena begins to question everything, and Scott mentions that she may not be able to change the past, but they can still save the future, and mentions that maybe TASKFORCE may save their nation.

Within the Capitol Building in Calveria, Rush's assistant helps the elderly former minister into his bed. The assistant then begins to choke Minister Rush with his own pillow.

Hilde and Zeitgeist talk over who assassinated the Chancellor. Anchor Gerlach then mentions that the bullet recovered from the crime scene was traced to the bullet found in Minister Shaw's assassination, meaning that it came from the same Assassin.

Within the walls of Castle Stehlwald in Saarland, Alex and Baron von Blitzschlag are approached by Becky Eldred, Dr. Ruination, and Bellamy. Bellamy mentions that three National leaders are dead. Alex mentions that he took care of the Nova Britannian leader, and now Nova Britannia is defenseless. Bellamy asks what they're going to do next. Alex orders all Talon personnel to prepare for an invasion. Baron von Blitzschlag begins to smile, only to be told by Alex that he's sitting this mission out, as they have no plans for him. Blitzschlag then leaves in disappointment, while telling Alex that he'll continue to work on "Project: Damonenstaat", Alex bids good luck for Blitzschlag.

Alex orders Dr. Ruination to help Blitzschlag with Project: Damonenstaat, and Dr. Ruination leaves. Becky is then ordered by Alex to see to it the troops are prepared to mobilize. Becky leaves, as Alex tells Virginie that she is to head to the United States for a mission with her brother, Maxime. Alex then follows Becky to the depths of Castle Stehlwald.

Andrea asks what Alex wants them at Castle Stehlwald, and Alex mentions that he wants to borrow some resources from their organizations. Red Skull mentions that they already have Baron von Blitzschlag, as Andrea mentions that she will speak to her brother to place Suprsoldaten, Elite Guard, Laserhunds, and the Struckerian Monitor. Alex thanks Andrea for her kindness, and has a soldier escort her back to her car. Red Skull tells Alex that if the Plan fails, he won't let HYDRA aide TALON any longer. Alex tells Red Skull to trust him.

### The Political Pit

Zeke arrives in Amessex's Military Base, where he goes up to a podium to give a speech. During the speech, he mentions that within the years following the election of Mortimer, England had plunged into chaos, with even murder being legalized. He mentions that Minister Shaw had let companies dump toxic waste into River Thames, he did nothing to rebuild laws on Sexual assault, and that laws that implied racism ( made by Reginald Mortimer) had been put into affect, and Zeke mentions that he plans to end these horrors.

As Elizena, Scott, Martin, and Natalia arrive to the rally, Scarlet steps up to the Podium, and gives her speech, on how money has been wasted on other countries, such as how Minister Shaw had used the UK's money to aide in the reconstruction of Hartberg and Camp Zentralhafen, following the Bloodshed War. She mentions that her father was a man who believed in Racism, but she wishes to rebuild her family's legacy to be trusted. Sha also mentions that unlike her opponent, she fully supports Gay Rights and Abortion. She also mentions that she would make laws to lower taxes on education, medical attention, and Military expenses.

Zeke continues on his portion of the argument, where he mentions that he would support the LGBTQ Community as well, following the discovery that his sister is gay. He also mentions that following the beginning of Mortimer's terms the UK had been spending all of their money into rebuilding their nation, and mentions that Mortimer's claims on wasting money on other countries is exaggerated. He also mentions that he had received news that the Prime Minister of Nova Britannia and the Chancellor of Germany have been assassinated, and that the former Minister is assassinated as well.

Zeke mentions that he believes that someone is assassinating National leaders in response to the collapse of the Nova Britannian Government. He mentions that if these people continue to assassinate National Leaders and return to the United Kingdom, he will lay down his life for the United Kingdom. Scarlet continues her speech, mentioning that Zeke didn't bother laying down his life when he ran away from the Law Enforcement, following the death of her Father. Scarlet mentions that Zeke was pardoned by Minister Shaw, who did nothing to fix her father's actions.

Scarlet mentions that she is plans to reenact the Immigration Laws that were abolished following Brexit. Zeke begins to laugh, and mentions that the Immigration Laws that were supposedly abolished still stand. Scarlet then smirks and mentions that the Prime Minister should be someone who should take the conflicts of their nation seriously, as Zeke mentions that a Prime Minister should also be caught up with current events. Zeke then asks the soldiers of the Base that the Final Elections are tomorrow, and only they are left to vote for the next Prime Minster. Zeke mentions that he will support the troops whenever the next major conflict comes along, and he will fight alongside them. The soldiers begin to cheer.

The next day, Zeke and Scarlet arrive in London, where they await for the vote counter. Zeke tells Scarlet that he wishes her luck on the elections, and Scarlet remains silent. The Final Vote Counter arrives and mentions that the last voter has finally finished, and this one voter will decide who the next Prime Minister will be, since the United Kingdom had voted between Zeke and Scarlet equally, meaning that the last vote is a swing vote. The Final Vote Counter reads the Vote, and mentions that Zeke is the next Prime Minister. Zeke smiles, as the United Kingdom begins to cheer. Scarlet admits defeat, while shaking Zeke's hand.
