His bizarre outburst had all but put an end to Jim's presidential ambitions, but it wasn't the final nail in his coffin, that came in the form of the tape of him having sex with his housekeeper Consuela being leaked online. The video wasn't uploaded to the internet by Robert or the goose but by the cat herself after she had fled to Colombia with David Huntsman and all the money that he had embezzled from his clients. Tom Groff would go on to win the election with a grand total of 412 electoral college votes, a healthy, decisive total that did nothing to convince the goose that they had prevailed.

"This is when things get dangerous," it said ominously to Robert on election night after Tom Groff was declared the winner.

Until The Gryphon had slain The Behemoth nothing was guaranteed. There were still threats out there and if The Behemoth emerged victorious from its battle with the Gryphon then all would still be lost.

"But Jim Balmer lost," Robert said to the goose.

"This is about more than just one election, I explained that to you before. The raven's got multiple irons in the fire that all need to be dealt with."

One of those irons was Chris Dixon. With Jim Balmer having proven a disappointment and a failure, those that had invested their hopes for a new America in him found a new savior in Chris Dixon who, the night after the election, used his show to announce his refusal to accept the results of the election.

"People, what happened last night was nothing more than the coming to fruition of what I have been warning you about for months. I told you that they were going to steal this election, that they would do everything in their power to stop Jim Balmer from getting to the White House and that's exactly what they did. You don't have to be a genius to work out that those leaks that occurred on the eve of the debates were specifically intended to hurt Jim Balmer and help Tom Groff. And as for that sex tape, I've never seen a more obviously doctored piece of video in my entire life! Is it any wonder that congressman Balmer had a mental breakdown? Here you have a guy who's running for president because he wants to do what's right for America, and he finds himself the victim of a disgusting smear job orchestrated by the elite political establishment who hate America and don't want to see this country return to greatness! They hate America so much that they were actually willing to go so far as to tamper with ballots to take votes away from Jim Balmer and give votes to Tom Groff. This election was nothing but one huge filthy con job, and this patriotic American isn't going to stand for it! I am going to Washington! On January 6th I am going to be in Washington to tell Congress that they have no right to certify this election that was so blatantly stolen, and if you love your country as much as I do, you'll join me."

This was the danger that the goose was worried about. There were millions of people that watched Chris's show every night for whom his word was gospel, a great deal of whom were going to show up in Washington on January 6th believing that they could stop Tom Groff from being certified as the president. Chris Dixon was setting the stage for a siege on the Capitol. This was dangerous stuff, but fortunately the rooster had predicted that this was exactly the move they'd make in the event of Jim Balmer losing the election and a plan had been formulated for dealing with it, just like a plan had been formulated for dealing with Russia if they invaded Ukraine. Key to both plans was the leviathan, whose ability to control water and the weather made it the most powerful weapon in their armory. With Jim Balmer losing the election, there was no longer any reason for Prime Minister Kolschonski to delay the invasion. Sonya sent word to Robert that the invasion would be commencing in a matter of days. Using its ability to slip through the void the wolf was able to get itself into position with one simple leap. Getting itself into position was going to take a little longer for the leviathan. Robert and the goose took another late night drive and released it into the East River. From there it would make its way to the Atlantic Ocean and into the Black Sea via the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Robert kept the leviathan hidden under a blanket and carried it into the water in accordance with the goose's request that they exercise extreme caution with the leviathan to avoid another incident like what they experienced in Scotland. Once it had gotten to the ocean the leviathan could revert to its full primal form and fully utilize its powers, against which the Russian navy wouldn't stand a chance.
