Fred Mockingjay Part 2

Fred and Enobaria keep training. The rebels have devised a special new kind of training program called Simulated Street Combat(SSC) that simulates warfare they would encounter in the Capitol. They're of course, filmed for media promotion and all over Youtube. Things continue as normal until Kevin starts coming to training too. Plutarch explains its for the media and Youtube and tried to get Kevin and Fred to reconcile for the same purpose. Fred refuses. Meanwhile, Fred intensely observes the other soldiers getting ready for battle. The next conflict is coming up soon. Suddenly, Enobaria and Fred are deemed to be ready to take the final pre-combat test. It has four parts. In the last one, the warriors have to go through SSC one at a time, and then try to make it through the tests the rebels have devised for them. Enobaria goes first, then Fred. In Fred's ordeal, he lets his instincts take over and moves through the model combat setting, trying to remember all the things he's been taught. In the middle of his session, he has an epiphany that the rebels are testing to see whether he'll obey them under pressure. So, he does, even though the orders totally go against his instincts. It works soon after, the simulation ends and he approved. He's sent to Command and it's not until he arrives that Fred realizes that's abnormal compared to what other soldiers go through. However, Boggs is pleased to see him and announces he's been assigned to his squad, along with Bertha and Finnick. Then they meet with Plutarch, who announces some tactics. He shares a holograph version of the Capitol and explains that it's full of "pods," or little zones of lethal weapons and traps. Fred and Finnick quickly realize that it's very similar to the arenas they entered during their Games. They try to keep everyone else from figuring out the full significance of this point too, and it seems to work. After the meeting, Fred and Finnick try to reassure each other that maybe it will be as bad as a Games, but they're both honestly doubtful. Then, Haymitch appears to say that Enobaria has passed the test too and will join your squad. Finnick and Haymitch leave, but Fred waits for Boggs. Fred sees Enobaria and talks with her. Fred shows her his token of pride. Enobaria makes Fred solemnly swear to get revenge on Snow, though. Fred swears to kill him. After that, Fred and the others return to even more aggressive training with their special, Beetee designed weapons. Everyone in their group is excellent. Fred and Bertha and the others are disheartened, though, to learn from Plutarch that they'll be the attacking group filmed the most during the attack. They all think that they won't be able to do anything, it will be just for show. The next day, they have to say goodbye to their families and friends before they depart. They head to the Capitol in a circuitous route, which involves going through 12. The rebels have already taken some of the outer parts of the city. They learn that the combat they'll be entering will be primarily on the ground, not from the air. Then they stall out for a few days while nothing happens. Fred feels like the rebels are not sure how to best deploy him. They're all frustrated that they're not getting to participate in the fighting. Fred memorizes a map of the streets. What he really wants, though, is a special holographic map assigned to each commander, called a Holo. It's the best way to keep track of the knowledge the rebels have about the changing evils of the Capitol. It also had the capability to become a mass suicide tool if a group of rebels is in danger of getting captured. A pod kills one of their team members, Leeg 2. When a replacement soldier shows up, everyone is shocked to see it's Kevin. He's been sent specifically by Coin. Fred realizes this might mean Coin wants him dead.
