Rothschild screamed into the red lit room of the First Platoon Barracks. Moments later, the Ghost of Ottawa emerged from the barracks, carrying Rothschild. He tossed him into a helicopter and began the long flight home.
Meanwhile, the others of New Ottawa had sent out an announcement to the rest of the United States, a simple message. The New World Order is Dead, Come to Ottawa for the Trial of Rothschild. As citizens began their treks to New Ottawa, the Ghost arrived. Bailing out of the helicopter as it ran out of fuel, he flew Rothschild into New Ottawa. He marched into the city, shoving Rothschild as he went.
The Star Spangled Heroes of New Ottawa locked him up in their jail cell where he was under twenty-four hour surveillance. Daily, the Ghost would wake him up to beat the shit out of him.
Don't worry Rothschild, I won't kill you. You've already signed your death warrant. I just want to be sure you know how it truly feels to lose.
A week passed and the Trial of Rothschild commenced. The crowds from all over lined the streets and had packed the Ottawa Appellate Courthouse as the Ghost, Tempest, Overlord and Cassie all marched the prisoner to his fate.
MURDERER! DICTATOR! YOU'VE FINALLY GOT TO PAY THE PIPER! FUCK YOU ROTHSCHILD! echoed into Rothschild's ears as he marched up the steps into the courthouse.
Is it time sir?
No, see how the trial plays out. We'll step in before they do anything to violent.
As Rothschild was handcuffed to the desk, the Ghost and Tempest took their respective spots on either side of the judge's bench.
ALL RISE FOR THE HONORABLE, STAR SPANGLED JUDGE OF OTTAWA, JUDGE ROGER ALLEN.
The Judge was an older man. He was thin and pale, and yet, was a surviving member of New Ottawa.
Please be seated.
As the crowd sat down, Judge Allen pulled out his reading glasses and looked out at the ocean of faces.
This is not simply Rothschild v New Ottawa, this is Rothschild v The Free World. Evelynn Rothschild, you are currently being charged with a Santa's list of crimes, most of them capital crimes which under the New Ottawa directive 181-5, are punishable by public execution if found guilty.
Rothschild acknowledged the Judge as he sat in his chair wondering what fate was to befall him.
The Prosecution will present you with evidence and the jury consisting of member of the world will decide whether or not you are guilty. As you have decided to represent yourself, you must understand that in the event of a guilty verdict, the Jury must pass a death sentence by seventy-five percent. May whatever god you pray to have mercy on your soul.
As the prosecution began, Rothschild zoned out as he knew that his fate was sealed.
Your honor, we call the defendant to the stand.
As Rothschild took the stand, he was meant by stares of angry citizens of the world and the United States.
Rothschild, is it true you fired an anti-material rifle into the Ghost of Ottawa's side repeatedly?
Yes.
And is it true that you worked with the faction known as the Cryptid Nazis while committing genocide, regicide, murder, and various other acts?
Yes, I worked with them for the power. I wanted nothing short of the deaths of everyone in this room and those watching. I am the best option for the WORLD! YOU SAY I DESTROYED FREEDOM, YET YOU ALL WILLING GAVE UP THOSE FREEDOMS TO PUPPETS I PUT IN CHARGE OF YOU!
The Courtroom stirred as Judge Allen banged his gavel, demanding order in his courtroom. As the trial went on, the world watched as WCMY Broadcasted the trial by radio and television. As the prosecution rested their case, Judge Allen ordered the jury deliberate.
Everyone held their breath as the Jury left the room, ready to decide the fate of former world dictator, Evelynn Rothschild.
