Twenty minutes later...
Directly outside the Presidential Bunker...
As the welding crews finally prepared to fully remove the Bunker door, ranks of National Guardsmen stood in silent anticipation, sweat rolling down their brows even though the air was icy. Nixon and King looked on, knowing the final showdown with their old boss was at hand. And then off came the hinges. Off came the lock mechanism.
Nixon prepared to lead them into the bunker. "Soldiers, remember your duty. Shoot first, and let Jehovah sort 'em out. Now... INTO THE BREACH!"
With a thunderous yell, dozens of Guardsmen kicked in the Bunker door and began pouring bullets at the Bad Luck Brigade soldiers inside. The ORRA troopers were screaming Scripture quotes and shouting "For the President! For America! For liberty!"
In seconds it was all over. Sixty ORRA troopers lay dead at the entrance. Slowly, the remaining members of Oswald's staff began to file out and surrender. Headmaster-Marshal Blythe was the first one. As the National Guardsmen slowly secured the Bunker, they at last came upon the locked room marked "Executive Quarters." As the welding crews began working to take off the door, Oswald's voice came on over the Bunker intercom:
"You filthy mongoloid traitors will never stop me! Never! I am a god, and all who oppose me shall fall. By the Prophet, I swear this. You're all doomed. Nixon and King, old buddies, you'll never win. For I'd rather take out this whole city, nay, this whole country, than let you diseased rapscallions run it! See you in Hell, Tricky Dick!"
Oswald had gone full-Samson. He was going to order a nuclear strike on Philadelphia. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Nothing happened afterward. Oswald's voice didn't come back on. The door slowly unlocked, and there stood Mary-Jane Mundy, covered in blood and holding a revolver. Immediately, everyone knew what had happened. Before anyone could stop her, though, she raised the gun to her own head, mouthed the words "I still love him," and then blew her brains out. Nixon walked into the room. There, on the floor, was Oswald, toppled out of his wheelchair and with a massive hole in the back of his head. On the floor in front of him was the Nuclear Suitcase, with the target set on Philadelphia. He had typed in the codes. He had been killed right before he confirmed the launch. Mary-Jane Mundy had just saved Philadelphia, and possibly the world. Charles Oswald was dead.
Nixon walked over to Oswald' body, aimed his pistol at the corpse, and began firing one shot after another into him until the clip was gone. Then he declared, "I may go to Hell, Oswald, but you'll have time to sizzle for a while before I join you." Nixon picked up the Suitcase and ended the Code Black. At that, Nixon and his officer's left the bunker.

November 5th, 1972...
Unknown Location...
"Good evening, my fellow Americans. Just about one week ago, my father, our dear, beloved President Charles Oswald, God rest his soul, was ruthlessly murdered by treasonous forces under the command of the Great Apostate, Richard Nixon, and his villainous hired hands, Leslie King's so-called National Guard. These tragic events are not a setback, but a persecution and martyrdom of the righteous, a trial we must face chin-up. Our Union has not yet been perfected, and in this fallen world, we will face tragedy until the New Jerusalem is officially brought into being. I, Charles Oswald II, though only 19 years of age, am the only legitimate President of this great country. The Apostate and King may claim titles, but like Cain who murdered his brother, they viciously murdered their friend and guide in life, our beloved President, God rest his soul, and are attempting to legitimize their sin. It fills me with rage to think about what these scions of Satan are attempting to do to our nation and our way of life. Thus, it had fallen to myself and the forces under my command to bring about the destruction of this disgusting new government. Rest assured, America, Charles Oswald II and the brave men and women of the Office of Racial and Religious Affairs will fight the good fight until this land has been liberated of these demonic influences and America's nuclear arsenal controls are back in the hands of the rightful master, that being myself. That is our message. We will meet this military coup head-on, and we will reinstate the rightful government of these United States. Join me, America, as we fight to defend our heritage! Join me, America, as we fight to defend our religion! Join me, America, as we fight to drive out and exterminate the Inferior swine and bring glory to the White Race! All hail!"
The struggle for power had began. This is why historians call November 5th, 1972, the official start date of the American Civil War...
