Paris, the Palace of Versailles...

At a certain meeting, tensions between the parliament members were heating up over some discussion regarding one of their most prized landmarks yet; the Eiffel Tower.

"What do you mean about using such a prized possession like it was just another weapon to be thrown away?! Do you have any idea how rare this artifact is?!" A cabinet member who rather knew much exclaimed to another member opposite of where he was.

"What would you have us do against the Germans then? Nothing? They're literally standing right at our doorstep, and are massacring our men out there! It won't be long before the swastika banner flies all over the city!!"

The Prime Minister finally called it and used the hammer.

"Enough!!" He commanded, "The cold and bitter truth remains; the Nazis are advancing fast towards us as we speak. And along with their ... unique individuals, they cut through our forces like the reaper against wheat.

The safety and sovereignty of our nation is far more important than preserving age-old trinkets. We must focus on not the past, but the present.

...Gentlemen, we have no choice. We must use the shard. God help us all."

Even though the other cabinet members wanted to protest against using 'the shard', they knew that it was their last hope in defending their capital against the Third Reich. Reluctantly, they all agreed with curt nods and disappointment. Dark days were ahead of them...

From the most secretive vaults of France, several French soldiers began to haul some large wooden crate, under the cover of night. They loaded it in a truck and began to drive for the Eiffel Tower, protected by a well-armed escort. No one had to know about this operation other than the members of the cabinet themselves...

The shot managed to hit the officer's electrokinetic field, but failed to pierce it. Even so, the shot was enough to stagger and interrupt the officer, which Annie used to her full advantage and performed a power bash that sent the officer back a few meters, and also disorienting her a bit.
