A large black van pulled up to the security gate of the Presidential Palace. The driver seat window opened and the guard asked the driver for identification. The driver pulled out a python revolver and shot the guard twice in the shoulder before he fell to the ground. He yelled ''now'' to the rest of the inhabitants in the van and they rushed inside the office next to the security gate to open it. When the gate was finally opened, all the men got out of the van and began throwing several C4 plastic explosives inside the van. One man from the group got inside the drivers seat and put a forty pound weight on the brake and gas peddle of the car. He stepped outside, pulled the weight off of the brake, and the van went zooming toward the Presidential Palace. Seconds before the van hit the exterior of the building, he pressed a button on a detonator he pulled out of his pocket, and the van exploded a large hole in the side of the building. They ran inside the building through the hole where dozens of staff working at their desk began to flee in panic at the sight of the armed men. All nine men walked inside and began firing at the fleeing people. They killed and wounded several of them, and began to walk down the hallway that connected to the room and fired at more people as they went. They turned into another hallway, where five members of the Asevul Special Forces had taken cover behind a makeshift barricade in order to hold them back. One of the men threw a tiny green grenade-like object at the barricade and it released an invisible gas. The men began choking and died within half a minute. The entire group pulled out gas mask's and proceeded down the hallway they had just cleared. They approached an elevator with a silver exterior and one of the men, the captain, pressed a button on the panel and crouched in front of the elevator with his Stoner63 aimed at the door
''What are you doing Corstavi?'' asked one of his men
''I was a security officer here once, in the event of an emergency the special forces inside the building are deployed to remove the threat, and I have a feeling that they are coming now''
The rest of his men didn't dare oppose him and they quickly joined him. Sure enough, the elevator opened and several armed Asevul Special Forces were inside it. They were gunned down within seconds due to the surprise and speed of the attack. The group walked inside, and Corstavi pulled out a key and inserted it into a keyhole by the buttons in the elevator, and soon a panel in the back of the elevator was revealed. He pressed floor level thirteen, and when it reached its destination, he ordered his men to the sides of the elevator. When the door opened, the Asevul Special Forces that had barricaded themselves saw nothing inside the elevator. One of them threw a grenade inside the elevator, and it was soon thrown back to them.
''GRENADE'' yelled one of the men as the entire squad jumped behind the barricade. One of the men was wounded by the shrapnel and the room filled with smoke from smoke grenades. Seconds later, the men behind the barricade began choking and when the smoke cleared Corstavi and his men advanced down the hallway to a large wooden door. Corstavi kicked it down and his squad scurried the room. No sign of President Murat. He must of been retreated to his safe room during the attack. Corstavi ordered his men to follow him and several minutes later they approached a huge metal door. It was the president's saferoom that had recently been installed several years ago. Inside the saferoom, President Murat and the remaining seven men assigned to protect him were pushing furniture against the large door to block them out in case they succeeded in breaking through. President Murat pressed a button on a panel and a large video of the men on the other side was revealed on a TV in the room. He looked closer at the men, and saw a hammer and sickle insignia on one of their guns. The communist party was staging a coup. Before he could warn his men, Corstavi began to speak:
''I know you can hear me Murat. Nobody is arriving to help you, as the remainder of my men have already assured that nobody has escaped. You have fifteen minutes to come outside, or we will shoot every single hostage in the building. Also, we demand that you admit to the public that an economic crisis is in effect, or I will personally shoot you myself. Your time is ticking, time to decide Mr. President''
President Murat ran over to a desk that had not been used in the barricade, and typed in his password onto the computer. He used the webcam to broadcast a message to international media:
''This is President Joachim Murat of Asevul. The Presidential Palace is under attack by unknown men. I have reason to beleive that they are revolutionaries from the communist party attempting to seize power by brute force. I have a bad feeling that the same is happening all over Asevul, and I also have a bad feeling our army is in for a surprise.
Murats hypothesis was correct, all over Asevul revolt's threatened the social structure of the entire nation. Police and riot police had been deployed to hold back massive riots by loyal members of the communist party. Thousands of citizens had already been killed in the struggle. They attacked Asevul International Airport and held over five hundred hostages, most of whom were tourist from other nations. For the first time in its history, Asevul was going to war.
