Chapter 133 - The time comes

In the command center of District 13, Alma Coin and the high-ranking officials gathered around a strategy table, with maps and screens displaying critical information about the situation in the rebel districts. The atmosphere was filled with tension and anticipation.

Alma Coin, with a serious expression, took the floor and explained, "The war is about to unfold throughout Panem. We have witnessed how Jacob, at his young age, has managed to unify and control ten rebel districts. His words and leadership have resonated in the hearts of the people, mobilizing the masses in search of freedom."

One of the high-ranking officials raised an eyebrow, showing astonishment and admiration for Jacob's achievements. "It's incredible how he has managed to mobilize so many districts in such a short time. How has he gained the trust and support of the people?"

Reflectively, Alma Coin pointed out, "Jacob has an innate gift for persuasion and empathy. He has been able to connect with the desperation and longing for freedom that many have felt for decades. His charisma and determination are extraordinary, much like Katniss the Girl on Fire, he possesses a unique leadership gift."

Another high-ranking official spoke up, "But we are also concerned about his control over the Capitol's Hovercrafts . How is it possible for him to handle such sophisticated technology?"

Frowning, Alma Coin murmured, "That is something we still don't know. There are many unknowns surrounding Jacob and his abilities. We must investigate further how he managed to gain control of those Hovercrafts . We cannot underestimate his capacity to surprise us."

Silence filled the room as the high-ranking officials contemplated the impending challenges and the figure of Jacob Barber, the young leader who had become a threat to the Capitol.

"Whatever means Jacob has used to gain control of the Hovercrafts , we must be prepared to confront him. Our main objective is to unite our forces and overthrow the Capitol. We must work together and not underestimate the cunning of our enemy."

The high-ranking officials nodded in agreement, aware that they were immersed in a war that would determine the future of Panem. Strategy and cooperation would be crucial in facing the challenges ahead.

Alma Coin and the high-ranking officials immersed themselves in a profound debate, discussing strategies and analyzing possible moves. They knew that the battle for freedom would be harsh and cruel, but they were willing to fight until the end. The destiny of Panem was at stake, and it was time to act with wisdom and bravery.

...

Jacob stood at the center of the Hovercraft, surrounded by his people, who watched him attentively and listened from other locations. The noise of the engine and the hum of the navigation systems filled the air, but his voice resonated clearly through the loudspeaker.

Jacob cast a fierce gaze upon everyone and said, "Listen, everyone. We have reached the crucial moment of our struggle. Our next target is District 11. We must seize the element of surprise in our attack and take control of the Justice Building as soon as possible."

The faces of the rebels filled with determination, knowing that the battle would be difficult but not impossible to win.

"The Capitol has an advantage in the number of Hovercrafts , but we have the advantage of surprise. Our main objective is to destabilize the enemy, both in the air and on the ground. Each one of you is valuable in this fight, and I trust that together we can achieve it."

The rebels nodded, some gripping their weapons tightly in their hands, ready for the upcoming battle.

"Once we land in District 11, we will deploy our teams on the ground. Our main goal is to take the Justice Building. That's where the bases of the Capitol's power in this district are located. But we must also guide and protect the inhabitants of District 11. They are our strength and our inspiration."

The gazes of the rebels grew more intense, understanding the importance of their mission and the responsibility they had on their shoulders.

Jacob smiled with conviction, "Remember, we are fighting for freedom, for a better future for all. Let us not be paralyzed by fear. Let us move forward with courage and determination. I have faith in each and every one of you, and I know that together we can achieve victory."

The rebels applauded and encouraged one another, sharing words of support and forging bonds of unity in that crucial moment. Jacob knew they were facing a challenging battle, but he also knew that the spirit of rebellion burned in their hearts and gave them the strength to persevere.

"[Master, we will reach District 11 in two minutes!]"

"Prepare yourselves, my friends. Our struggle is about to reach a new level. We must take District 11, but we must also make sure the Capitol feels our power. Together, we will change the course of history."

With that message of hope and determination resonating in the Hovercraft, Jacob and his people prepared to face the next battle. Freedom was within their reach, and they were willing to fight to the end to achieve it.

...

District 11.

Being the largest district, it was heavily guarded by the Capitol, with hundreds of Peacekeepers enforcing the law. Taking all this into account, what was about to happen would be somewhat unsettling and very dangerous. There were two possibilities: either things would go very well, or they would go well but with thousands of casualties in taking this place.

"This is Jacob Barber. District 12 has been liberated from the tyranny of the Capitol. We are heading towards District 11 to liberate it and keep it under special care!"

Jacob sent this message, hoping it would be read and that everyone would return home as a special protocol.

The five Hovercrafts  piloted by Jacob and his group glided stealthily through the sky, approaching District 11. Darkness was their ally, providing cover as they moved towards their objective. As they approached, they could make out the faint lights of the streets and buildings in the darkness.

Through the communicator, Jacob said, "Maintain formation, follow the plan. We will pose as allies before launching our attack."

The group members nodded, focused on their task. Each of them wore uniforms captured from the Peacekeepers, allowing them to temporarily deceive the inhabitants of District 11.

The Hovercrafts  descended towards the ground, slowing down to ensure their approach was as silent as possible. Jacob watched attentively from the main Hovercraft, assessing the situation as they neared the district.

Jacob whispered, "Remember, we must act swiftly and precisely. Once we are close to the Capitol troops, we will launch our coordinated attack."

The main Hovercraft landed in a central square of District 11, closely followed by the other four. The rebels disembarked from the ships and strategically dispersed, keeping their weapons low and their faces serene under their masks, as if they were loyal allies.

Jacob led the group towards a group of Capitol soldiers on guard near a base. The rebels acted naturally, chatting among themselves and greeting the soldiers with friendly gestures.

Jacob approached the man at the front who seemed to be in charge and said, "Good morning. We have been sent to provide additional support. How are things going here?"

The skeptical-looking soldier asked, "Who are you? We weren't expecting reinforcements."

With confidence, Jacob replied, "We have received orders to reinforce the forces in District 11. The Capitol is concerned about the situation and wants to ensure that everything is under control."

The Capitol soldier nodded and said, "I see. Well, we have a counterattack planned for later. We will need all the help we can get."

"We are here to support. Report on the current situation and tell us the plan."

While the Capitol soldiers shared information, Jacob and his group quickly assessed the situation and devised their own attack plan. They knew they had to act with precision and coordination to succeed.

In a whisper to his group, Jacob signaled, "We will wait for the right moment. Once we have gathered enough information and are in a strategic position, we will launch our attack. Be ready to act in an instant."

The rebels nodded, preparing for the imminent surprise attack. Emotions filled the air as they waited for the right moment to reveal their true loyalty and unleash their offensive.

At that moment, several Hovercrafts  swiftly passed from the sky and attacked the Justice Building, creating a powerful explosion.

Boom!

"It's time to act. Let's go!"

With determination in their eyes, Jacob and his group prepared to face the battle that lay ahead. District 11 was about to experience the strength and determination of the rebels as the plan unfolded in a deadly dance of strategy and bravery.
