Five hijacked police vans traveled down the streets of Valkurheim. Inside each was a squad of self-named Einherjar of the Varangian Nationalist Movement. They saw the events in Austervania, and felt they needed their own nation with their own ways, not dictated by the Russians and Middle-Easterners. In the lead car was Frederick Vænnsyn, a staunch Norse Pagan. He clenched both his Mjöllnir pendant and his G36C rifle.

He let go of his pendant and grabbed his radio and hit the button. "Men, some of you may not come out of here alive. But know this, today, we will have liberated Valkurheim, our city of the gods, from the Russian scum! You're fighting for what's right! So don't stop fighting until you see the gates of Valhalla! May Odin bless you all."

The five vans stopped in front of the golden palace that hosted the seat of government for the entire protectorate. The loudspeakers that were all throughout the city and able to be heard everywhere stopped broadcasting the usual weather, and began playing Uprising by Muse. Frederick was a bit of an alternative rock lover, along with a general music enthusiast.

The 35 men, dressed in all black heavy combat gear, and all wielding G36 combat rifles, all climbed up the steps to the building. The drivers drove the vans away as a few stolen Leopard 2 tanks came and stood outside the palace, only to act as a deterrant for escapees.

The men entered the building, two squads going up each of the stairs to the sides and covering all the offices on the upper levels. The remaining three entered the main palace to kill the Russian leaders. Frederick led these men. They stood to the side of the door and drilled two holes in each of the doors. Four men put small tubes up to the holes and launched in smoke grenades. Once smoke started pouring out of the holes, all the men turned on thermal imaging on their visors and blew open the doors.

The three squads came in shooting. Not a man was lost in that room, aside from the politicians and the unsuspecting guards. Yells of confusion from the politicians would ask for knowledge on how they got in so easily.

Two hours before the fight, snipers got into position in the buildings surrounding the palace. The snipers all got on radio and prepared to kill every sniper at the same time, to make sure no contact got through. Once all snipers were down, engineers below the palace took down all the power and communications from and to the palace, replacing all signals with calm signals. The window washers hired to wash the windows of the palace actually frosted the windows, because they were Varangian supporters. Only noise of the fight would alert the authorities.

By now, a large crowd had gathered outside of the palace. A small range of emotions had been produced. Fear, confusion, disorder. However, among a small group, hope was swelling. Hope for a brighter future. The crowd was now large, filling up the entire square. They all waited to see what this violence had brought.

In a matter of an hour, the innocent had been sorted from the guilty, and the men had successfully taken the palace with no casualties.

The crowd stood in the square as a man dressed in a black trenchcoat walked onto the balcony with a microphone, and the flag of the Varangian people draped behind him.

"MEIN FOLK! My name is Frederick Mikkelsen Vænnsyn. I am a true Norseman, a Varangian. My family is purebred Norse, such as you are. The white Russians are distinct like myself, descended from the gods of Scandinavia. Varangians in Belarus and Ukraine, I now welcome you to the Varangian Empire!"

Some artillery behind the palace launched fireworks into the night sky, providing an awesome sight for the crowd.
