As the lasers burned down everything in sight, planes, troops and tanks rolled out of D.C. Civilians were caught in the laser's path had no chance of survival. Their bodies evaporated into dust, no trace of the humans who once lived there.
The satellites destroyed very inch of the city, monuments, civilians, soldiers, and all. The destruction of D.C made it clear, nothing was safe from the Remnant Government's reach and there was nothing they wouldn't do to enslave their former citizens.
The U.R.D.F managed to pullout all their troops in time before the lasers melted their positions, the former troops of D.C found out their leaders had no value of their lives and surrendered to the U.R.D.F and began helping them fall back.
As the force pulled out of D.C and headed home the Government gave them a warning.
"Failure to surrender, will result in the immediate destruction of your cities, but since you felt bold enough to attack us, we will open fire upon the Colonial States, as you call yourselves. Prepare to die for nothing but our gain."
The Lasers reentered the skies and began wiping out the Colonial States. Refugees who had already evacuated watched as the laser closed in on the cities, destroying everything in their path. The regions were in shock, as all that was left was cleanly wiped ground, not a building or person stood where they once were.
As the lasers retreated back into the clouds, the Government made another statement.
"You have 48 hours before we rake this planet clean. Do not underestimate us.'
With everyone one on edge, the regions knew one place that could and needed to survive this destructive force of the Remnant Government.
