Chapter 1: The Great Trial

Chapter Text

(OMG IS THAT A TNO REFERENCE? YAZOV GREAT TRIAL!)

Prologue 1/2

January 1st, 2020

Harmony Hallow, Brooke’s P.O.V:

I was sitting down on the couch of my hotel room, watching the news, as it turns out, that Epstein trial is coming, but then ROB came in.

ROB: Uhm, Brooke? Who’s this Jeffrey Epstein guy?

Brooke: A pedophile, he had ties with former president Bill Clinton, and current president Donald Trump.

ROB: Is the president guilty?

Brooke: Oh, he is, he’s just hiding it. This could be the most important trial in American history, perhaps even surpassing the OJ trial in terms of scale and Watergate in terms of impact.

ROB: Hang on, this could distract everybody from the object situation, meaning they might not stop Patricia!

Brooke: The government can handle two problems, we should be fine.

ROB: Well then, when is the trial?

Brooke: May 14th.

February 20th, 2020

As the trial is getting underway, I was watching some news reports, and it was an interview with the Clintons, ugh how I don’t like them, Hillary stole Bernie’s nomination, and if Bill KEPT IT TOGETHER when Lewinsky was in the White House, Al Gore would’ve won the 2000 election, and we’d be better off, and I was watching this on Fox News for some reason to see their reactions.

Tucker Carlson: As you can see, both Clintons are denying accusations, just listen.

Bill Clinton: I’m telling you, me and Epstein were buddies, but I had no involvement with his other stuff.

Hillary Clinton: Yeah, I may have told him to bomb Belgrade, but I didn’t encourage him to do that stuff.

Carlson: Yeah, these guys are lying bastards, let’s see what Trump has to say about this.

It then cut to an interview with Trump, knowing how much of a liar he is already, I can suspect this is gonna go bady.

Trump: This whole trial is a whole Deep State conspiracy! They are doing this to remove me from power, only true American patriots can see through these lies! Not the Radical left.

As I expect, Qanon, the Proud Boys, the Oathkeepers and MAGA in general all believe him. The idea of Trump getting framed further radicalizes them. They believe the deep state is out to get Trump to stop America from becoming great again. And they also believe they're the only ones who can stop this madness. And all of Trump's rhetoric just further confirms his guilt to me-

Brooke: OW! What the!?

I felt something coming underneath, when I saw it, I saw it was…an egg? Well…shit…

ROB: Brooke? What is this-OMG!

Brooke: Uhm, yep, you see it.

ROB: I’M GONNA BE A BROTHER!?

That was when Dick came into the room too.

Dick: Well, this is awkward.

Brooke: Well, at least we know the child is gonna be a book, since we’re both books.

But then my phone started ringing, I couldn’t believe who it was from.

Dick: Uhm, who’s calling?

Brooke: Oh, Mr. President, it’s “such an honour to be here”.

Trump: Brooke, I need your help.

Brooke: What do you need my help for?

Trump: I know you’re the leader of the proud objects, and so, you are perfect for helping me stop that pillow in Yoyleville-

Dick: Wait? Is that Trump?

But then Fiona came running into the room, to tell Trump something.

Fiona: Yo Trump, I Hate You!

Trump: Ayo, shout up you Radical Leftist AntiFA supporter-

Fiona: I don’t work with those terrorists! I Hate AntiFA!

Brooke: Ok that’s enough, Trump, what is your plan, how do we stop Patricia?

Trump: Well, I’m thinking we send ICE into Yoyleville, and deport the objects into Mexico, that way, it’s not our problem, but Mexico’s.

I flinched as I realised how…stupid of a plan that was.

Brooke: Uhm, wouldn’t they just set up a new base there? Why not use the military to crush them?

Trump: Because, quite frankly, the American people would be like “Yo, our president is rolling tanks into a town”, and those nasty Democrats will surely take advantage of that.

Fiona: You were a Democrat at one point!
Trump: Yeah, WAS!

Meanwhile, Grace came into the room, with her daughter, Stress Ball.

Grace: Who the bloody hell are you talking too?

Dick: The president.

Grace: OH MY GOD! HEY TRUMP! FUCK YOU!
Trump: Grace, I know that’s you, I know you don’t like me, but we gotta stop Patricia and her Nazi cronies.

Brooke: Hang on, are you just doing this to distract everyone from Epstein?

Trump: Well…uhhhhhhhhhh-PENCE!
Mike Pence: Yes, he is.

Brooke: Ok, if you want to distract everyone with that, why not say…go to war with Iran.

Pence: Don’t give him ideas.

Trump: Maybe in my second term, anyways, we’re gonna be sending ICE into Yoyleville on April 30th, and bye bye Patricia! So what do you say?

As much as I didn’t like Trump, he had a point, plus, this could help people realise that objects are people too.

Brooke: Alright, I’ll do it.

Trump: Alright, bye now!

Trump then hung up, which meant we were getting this plan going.

ROB: Alright, let’s just hope this works.

George Bush Center for Intelligence, Richmond, Virginia, normal P.O.V:

In the base of operations for the CIA, they were watching the situation with Trump and the objects unfold, that was when the new director of the CIA, Josh Skaggs had arrived.

Skaggs: So, Trump is siding with the illegal objects? Interesting, well then, this makes our plan easier.

Advisor: What’s our plan again?

Skaggs: When we rig the primaries to make sure Biden gets the nomination, I will pressure him to make me VP, and we can control him from the shadows.

Advisor: But what if he tries to expose us-

Skaggs: Simple, we remove him from office, not like when we removed JFK, but different, I’ve spoken to the other members of the Cognoscenti about this.

Advisor: Alright, let’s do this.

March 11th, 2020, Brooke’s P.O.V:

Throughout early 2020, political tensions rose drastically. While the Epstein trial moves closer and closer, a new crisis is here.

ROB: Brooke? Where is everybody outside?

Brooke: Lockdown, COVID-19 is a pandemic now, and we have to stay inside to be safe.

Dick: Hang on? This is gonna distract people from the objects.

Brooke: Yes, and knowing Trump, I got a feeling he’s gonna fuck this up-huh?

My egg was hatching.

Brooke: Oh my god! It’s coming!

Dick; I’m gonna be a dad!

The egg then hatched, and out came a little baby book, with a green and dark blue cover, I could tell due to its eyes that it was a girl.

ROB: Awwwwwww, she’s so cute.

Dick: So, what do you wanna call her?

I thought hard for a name, before I thought of it.

Brooke: Welcome to the world…Hope.

March 18th, 2020

As I expected, Trump is failing to handle both challenges. Instead of publicly distancing himself from Epstein and promising to deliver justice, his anti -deepstate rhetoric further intensifies. And he’s refusing to listen to health experts about COVID, man, he’s cooked for the election.

April 1st, 2020

By April, COVID and Epstein are literally everything that's in the news. There's nothing else. People either talk about the virus or the island and both issues polarized the public drastically. As for me, I was talking to Penny, Layla, and Naomi about the crisis.

Penny: With two things happening at once, the public is losing interest in the Nazi’s in Yoyleville.

Layla: Yeah, COVID and Epstein are important, but this is just as important.

Brooke: Yeah, and all Trump is doing is sending ICE to Yoyleville to deport the objects.

Naomi: But didn’t ICE do their job during the Obama years?

Brooke: Yeah, but I have a feeling Trump might try to turn it into his secret police.

Penny: Well, good luck with stopping Patricia on April 30th.

I then drank a cup of water, as I braced for the day.

April 30th, 2020

I arrived at the gates of Yoyleville, when I came out, I wanted to scream.

The city now was filled with Nazi banners, and portraits of Patricia, what has she done to this place?

That was when the ICE units arrived, attempting to deport the objects.

Brooke: Alright, good luck.

ICE troop 1: And so I say to Betty, hey, when are we going to deport these Mexicans en masse already?

ICE troop 2: Trump says he plans on doing that when he wins his second term, but for now, let’s deal with these Nazi’s.

However, a plane was flying above, spraying a chemical.

Brooke: Oh no, guys, run!

ICE troops: What-WHAT THE HELL!

That was when the chemicals hit everyone, and the entire unit was turned into objects…loyal to Patricia.

Brooke: Oh no, I gotta get outta here! The plan failed! We are so fucked!

Meanwhile in the White House, Normal P.O.V:

Trump sat on the couch, watching the news, and how the raid failed.

Pence: So…what do we do now?

Trump: Pence, we are so fucked-hang on?

Trump turned back to the TV, seeing Carlson furious at Trump.

Carlson: The fact that the president is siding with some object aliens is proof that he has betrayed his fanbase, as seen here.

The scene then cut to many MAGA people protesting, furious at Trump for siding with Brooke.

Trump: Don’t my own supporters get it! I need to work with her to win a second term!

Pence: Well, it appears you’re out of options.

Trump: Uhm…how about I hand out money to everyone who votes for me! Heh!
Pence: Well, we’ll see what happens soon.

May 14th, 2020

At 11:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Jeffrey Epstein enters the courthouse. I know that tonight, I will witness history.

Dick: So, we are watching the trial?

Brooke: Yep, time to get some snacks ready.

ROB: This is gonna be good, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox going crazy will be entertaining.

At 11:30 a.m., the prosecution begins their opening statements and they go out swinging.

Within the first 5 minutes, the prosecution hints that two sitting or former presidents will be implicated. I can visibly see the color leaving the faces of the reporters present in the live streams. It’s now confirmed what I already suspected. Presidents will be named. Jeffrey Epstein begins speaking, and he gets to naming the people that went to his island.

Epstein: The people who went to my island include Prince Andrew-

He testifies in excruciating detail, but he soon says a name.

Epstein: Bill Clinton.

ROB: Wha-wha-

But before ROB can react, Epstein drops another name. A name that will break the country in half.

Epstein: Donald J. Trump.

Me, Dick, and ROB went silent. The courtroom goes silent. In fact, all of America goes silent. It's kind of like the moment when the second plane hit the World Trade Center. Everyone was watching while the very foundation of America crumbled. The reporters on Fox, CNN, and MSNBC can't manage to hide their utter shock and terror. They are speechless.

Brooke: Well, we might be cooked, America is cooked.

Dick: Uhm, look at this on the internet?

Brooke: What’s going on?

The internet is going completely berserk. No event of that magnificence and scale has happened in the era of modern social media. There were Reddit threats exploding, videos gaining millions of views within minutes on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and Twitter completely destroying itself from the inside.

Dick: Uhm, look at this tweet.

I noticed people would quickly begin comparing the Epstein trial to 9/11. Several comments like, "Where were you during the trial?" and memes like, "Sir, a second president has been named went viral."

ROB: Uhm, let’s continue watching.

While the internet is setting itself ablaze, Epstein continues his testimony.

Epstein: Both Clinton and Trump were frequent guests that knew everything, they often did things to those girls too, I can confirm that.

A few hours later

As I’m about to go to bed, this day has been so chaotic.

Huge protests broke out across the United States. Qanon, the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and many more far-right groups hold rallies chanting to “Drain The Swamp” or “Back The President”. In their eyes, the deep state is trying to take them down. In several cities, these groups clash with more left-leaning protesters demanding that Trump be removed from office. In some American cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, the anti-Trump protests even turn into fullscale riots by nightfall. But ironically, thanks to COVID, many people decide to stay home instead of protesting, meaning violence across the nation is contained. Bill Clinton doesn't make any public statements. His legal team begins denying everything. Trump, meanwhile, goes on a late night Twitter rant completely melting down.

Trump: The Deep State, Obama, the Democrats, and Silicon Valley are trying to take me down! MAGA, resist the deep state with everything you! Congrats Proud Boys and other patriots for resisting.

There are years where a day's worth of history happens, and there are days where years happen. May 14 is such a day. Americans go to sleep with a deep feeling of uncertainty.

May 15th, 2020

When I checked the news, I saw that Bill Clinton was arrested and placed under temporary house arrest. His legal team begins preparing a defense while publicly denying every accusation. Hillary isn't seen anywhere. Well, that’s what you get for screwing up Gore and Bernie! Now it’s time for Trump to be impeached-oh crap, he’s calling me again.

Brooke: What do you want now, Donald?

Trump: Brooke, you gotta help me! The DOJ is after me! I’m being witch hunted! This is the new Salem Witch Trials. The whole investigation is a coup against me led by the FBI and CIA! Help me!

Brooke: Sorry Trump, you brought this onto yourself.

Trump: DAMN IT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A PATRIOT!

Brooke: I am, just not an idiot!

I then hung up, what is even happening any more?

Meanwhile in Delaware, normal P.O.V:

Skaggs had arrived at a house in Delaware, the Biden household, where he met with the former Vice President.

Joe Biden: Alright, what do you want?

Skaggs: Joe, I have a proposition for you, make me VP.

Biden: I already have plans to pick Kamala as mine-woah!

Skaggs then aimed a gun towards Biden’s forehead.

Skaggs: Joe, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

Biden: But Sanders dropped out and told me to support the objects-

Skaggs: Don’t listen to that Socialist, the Cognoscenti wouldn’t like that, now would they?

Biden: I…fine.

Skaggs: Good boy.

May 20th, 2020, Brooke’s P.O.V:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls for emergency hearings. The House begins impeachment trials. Senate Republicans are split on the issue. Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney publicly consider voting to convict if impeachment passes. And then the House Judiciary Committee moves to impeach Trump for criminal conspiracy, abuse of power, and obstruction of justice. The trial moves to the Senate. As a reaction, Trump once again goes on a crazy Twitter rant.

Trump: THIS WHOLE THING IS A HOAX! ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE TRAITORS TO AMERICA, INCLUDING MIKE PENCE-

Brooke: Dude’s going against his own VP? Good lord.

As a result of the rant, Twitter bans Trump's account, citing that he is endorsing violence. By that point, Trump's approval rating is completely on the floor, sitting at around 20%, but those 20% are dedicated pro-Trumpers. And with each blow from Washington, their rage only deepens. By the time of the impeachment, the country was ablaze with protests and counterprotests. In liberal cities, massive crowds chant for Trump's imprisonment. In DC, hundreds of proud boys and off keepers gather to protest the impeachment, chanting "Hang Mike Pence."

ROB: Is America doomed?

Brooke: I think so, I am scared.

May 24th, 2020

The impeachment trial in the Senate begins. GOP senators are split on the issue. Trump tries to speak in front of his protesting supporters in DC, but the Secret Service keeps him inside the White House. The DC police, meanwhile, work hard to disperse the crowd and to keep them away from the capital building.

Dick: So, what is happening now?

Brooke: The Fire Rises.

May 25th, 2020

Another event threatens to shake America to its core.

Derek Chauvin kneels on George Floyd's neck for almost 9 minutes. Videos of the incident quickly go viral, now there’s three issues distracting America from Patricia now, great. And my daughter came in too.

Hope: Momma?

Brooke: Go back playing with your toys, this is too much for you to handle.

The BLM protests merge with the already massive anti-Trump protests. To the rioters and protesters, this is not pro versus anti-Trump or defunding the police versus backing the blue. The protests are about the right versus wrong. Both the anti-Trump protesters and the BLM protesters have basically the same message. Nobody, not presidents, not police officers, should be above the law. Justice should serve everyone. And really, that's a message many Americans can get behind. Including me

The impeachment trial, meanwhile, moves quickly. Protesters in DC slowly get dispersed.

June 10th, 2020

The Senate has a verdict. Trump is convicted. 78 senators voted in favour of it. more than enough to reach the two/3s majority needed to remove him from office. Trump is now the first president in American history to be convicted and removed from office via impeachment.

However, as I expected, Trump would go on another rant, claiming the impeachment was rigged, and the Deep State is after him.

Trump: THE DEEP STATE! THEY WANT THEIR PUPPET IN THE WHITE HOUSE! MIKE PENCE IS THE BIGGEST AMERICAN TRAITOR SINCE JEFFERSON DAVIS! I AM THE NEW LINCOLN!

Brooke: Oh no! The Constitution is falling apart as we speak!

ROB: What’s gonna happen next?

Brooke: I think…civil war-

Suddenly, I got knocked out, I saw some…soldiers taking me?

Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, June 11th, 2020

I woke up in a strange military base, and saw somebody.

Pence: Brooke, welcome to Joint Base Andrews.

Brooke: Oh, hi Mr. President.

Pence: Well, Trump is staying in the White House, as he doesn't wanna leave.

Brooke: Oh, so we’re overthrowing Trump?

Pence: Yeah, the DC National Guard is helping, as well as all of the Senators.

Brooke: Wait? Does that mean-

I turned around, and my boy Bernie was there.

Sanders: Yep Brooke, we’re gonna overthrow Trump, and restore democracy, for once, it seems like we are the UNITED States again.

Brooke: Yeah, this should be easy.

But then another familiar voice came in, I recognised him.

General Katzburry: Right, many MAGA militias are-

Brooke: You're back! Yay!

Sanders: Alright, maybe try to hold your fan girlness in for a bit, let him explain.

General Katzbury: As I was saying militias loyal to Trump are all around DC, and they’d do anything to defend him.

Brooke: So, when are we starting this?

Pence: At 11 pm.

Brooke: Oh, could I come with you, Katzbury?

General Katzbury: Sure, let’s go.

Brooke: Yipee!

Me and the general then went to DC to stop Trump from destroying American democracy.

Washington D.C.

It’s 11 PM, and the national guard began moving into the capital city, civilians were told to stay inside, this is going to be something.

General Katzbury: Alright boys, we’re going in!

The armies then began going through the city, we were crossing the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, when suddenly…

BANG! An explosive went out on the bridge, nobody was hurt, and the bridge didn’t collapse, but I realised how desperate these militias were going to be.

General Katzbury: Brooke! Watch out!

Brooke: AHH! DUCK!

So many shots of guns were being fired, the militias had barricaded themselves at the other side of the bridge.

The battle of D.C has begun!

General Katzbury: Boys, push through!

Brooke: Yes, they say we’re the traitors, well, at least we respect democracy.

The tanks and armored cars then made it through the bridge, but we were still being shot at.

General Katzbury: Don’t let their guns scare you, we have the numbers, and the weapons.

Brooke: Yeah! Just Push Through!

The National Guard was getting closer to the White House, a place where Trump DOES NOT belong.

Brooke: Y’know, I would make a better president than Trump. I actually care about the people, unlike the Annoying Orange.

General Katzbury: Hah, good one, anyways, we’re getting there.

Brooke: Man, I can’t wait to see Trump’s face when we get there.

At 11:30 PM, as the National Guard was slowly fighting back against militia units, my phone cut to a video of Trump. Behind him stand heavily armed ICE units. He himself is not wearing a suit, but a tactical jacket. In his hands is an assault rifle, Trump, now looking more like a desperate revolutionary leader than a president, begins speaking.

Trump: Mike Pence is a traitor to America. He has seized the presidency illegally and is now using the military to remove me from office. But he and I have something in common. We are both just pawns in a bigger game. A game controlled by the Deep State. They're using Pence to stop me. To them, she is replaceable just like every American is replaceable to them. But together, we have exposed them. We have lured them out of hiding. At first, they tried to use the justice system to take me down. But we stood firm. Now they're using the military. I will fight back as long as I can. And if that means I have to take up arms myself, so be it. I, Donald Trump, the elected president of the United States of America, will either remain in the Oval Office or die fighting for freedom in it. I tried to free America from the rule of these monsters, but I have failed. We cannot defend the White House against the military forever, but my death will not be in vain. I have exposed the evil ruling class, the antichrists, the traitors. America now knows who the enemy is. And with or without me, America must continue to fight evil. If you are in the military, sabotage and defect. If you are a citizen, take to the streets. Whoever you are, you must join the fight against evil.

The video finishes by Trump staring at the camera while singing the national anthem. Throughout the entire video, shots can be heard in the background that get progressively louder.

Brooke: Uhm, that’s…ominous.

General Katzbury: Don’t worry, we’ll get him!

June 12th, 2020

It’s 1 AM, and the National Guard has completely surrounded the White House grounds, and we were entering.

General Katzbury: Alright Brooke, get in there!

Brooke: Yes sir!

I then quickly ran into the dark White House, the electricity must’ve been cut, I noticed several booby traps and ICE and Border Patrol units.

Brooke: Everyone! Please stop! You’re only causing pointless American deaths! We order everyone to leave the White House by 3 AM, if you don’t leave, you will be treated as armed insurgents.

As 3 AM comes, more units start fleeing the White House, but no sign of Trump himself, outside, I can hear militias facing off with the National Guard, I also notice smoke grenades.

Brooke: Man, Washington would kill himself if he saw what was happening right now, Trump, I’m coming for you!

Later, the National Guard stormed into the White House, but the fighting continued, this is pure and utter madness.

Later, at 5:12 AMm I arrived at the doors of the Oval Office, wanting to see Trump.

Brooke: HAHA TRUMP, WE GOT-you?

However, I discovered something horrifying.

Donald Trump is dead.

Brooke: What? What happened?

As I look closer, I notice his neck was broken, implying somebody broke in, but who?

Brooke: I gotta confirm this to everyone!

I then confirmed what happened, the units couldn’t believe it. Sure, I hate him, but he should’ve just been arrested, not killed!

At 5:25 PM, President Pence gives an address.

Pence: Trump is dead, and his remaining loyalists have either surrendered, or been killed. The constitution has stood, but the damage isn’t over, but together, we can fix it.

As Pence gave his address, I walked up to the stage, where he gave me something.

Pence: Brooke Reeds, I award you the Presidential Medal of Freedom, try to fit it around you, which is a bit hard since…y’know.

Pence then gave me the medal, everyone, including Katzbury clapped.

Brooke: Thanks, good luck on that election, may the best candidate win, honestly, with this chaotic time, Biden is probably the best choice.

Pence: Well, I know I’ve lost, MAGA is fractured, so Biden’s gonna win, but thanks.

I then went back home to Harmony Hallow, where everyone cheered me.

Pamela: Brooke, that was awesome! You helped save democracy!

Brooke: Yeah, but who killed Trump?

Iris: That doesn't matter, what matters is democracy has stood.

Brooke: And hopefully, we can take down Patricia soon!

November 3rd, 2020

The election was here, and Biden won in a landslide, although, there was something off about this, it wasn't him, but his running mate, the CIA director.

Brooke: Uhm, why would a director of an intelligence organization be made VP?

Dick: You’re right, there is something odd about that.

ROB: Well, with these cris’ mostly over, things might be going back to normal soon.

Brooke: I hope so.

March 14th, 2021

I was watching some tv, when suddenly, everything was interrupted.

Brooke: Huh? What’s going on?

To my horror, it was Patricia, standing in a government building, giving a speech.

Patricia: Humans of Earth, it appears you can’t govern, with COVID, Epstein, wars, etc. I’ve also been hearing you’ve been treating objects like complete shit, and like we’re some lower class, but no! I’ve been building up what used to be Yoyleville, now known as Objectopolis, the capital of a new empire, an eternal empire. Today marks the birth of the Object Reich! I will finish Hitler’s legacy, and rid the world of these Jews controlling everything, Israel shall be wiped off the face of the Earth, and all of you humans will realise that objects are higher lifeforms. WORLD WAR OBJECT HAS STARTED NOW! SIEG HAIL!!!

Patricia then did a Nazi salute, as sentient military units went out of our old home, I couldn’t believe it, it happened here.

TO BE CONTINUED!

Well, here we go, book 2 is starting, and it’s already insane!

I watch An Alternate World a bit too much, as his videos inspired me in the setup for the war.

This will be a bit of a musical, and the action is gonna take centre stage, the transformations aren’t the focus anymore.

I promise, the rest of the story won’t be as political as this.
