[ WP ] Utopian/Dystopian world where everyone is king for a day .

( I did n't realize until after I finished that I strayed a bit from the `` for a day'' bit of your prompt, sorry about that. ) 
 
 It had been a long, hard battle, but at last we were victorious. 
 
 With the remaining government leaders either captured or under our control, they had no choice but to give us what we wanted. No more brutality, no more dead babies. We would reform this broken world for the better. Our children would someday remember this day as one to be celebrated. 
 
 We gathered the coalition in their meeting room. Our guards held a gun to the head of every one of them. I sat at the center of the circular table. 
 
 “ Well, you know why we're here. You are going to begin an emergency broadcast and give up your power. You will put us in charge. If you do not comply, I promise that you will be begging us to shoot you. Am I clear? ” 
 
 We had already told them what would happen and exactly what to say. This broadcast was mostly a formality. The people knew that a new age was dawning. After their old leaders admitted their wrongdoings, it would be official. 
 
 I leaned back and listened gleefully as the first man began to list his faults. It was like beautiful music to my ears. Everyone in the world would watch the video and weep for joy. When the coalition finally labeled me the leader, I planned to first abolish the police's freedom to kill without consequences. That was the only reason we needed the coalition's leader, Nikolas Shaw, to say that I was the new world leader. Without his spoken consent, his mechanical forces would never recognize me as their new master. 
 
 At least, Shaw's turn came. He kept his baleful gaze in my direction the entire time. “ There is one last law I must enact, ” he announced. “ These rebels wish to rule, and they shall. ” 
 
 Not exactly what I told him to say, but close enough. 
 
 “ They said that a new age was fast approaching, and now I find myself facing it as an enemy. I wo n't fight. As of now, everyone is a king. You will all rule. Every- ” 
 
 A guard swung the end of his assault rifle at Shaw's head, but the damage had already been done. I pounded my fist on the table in absolute rage, feeling a wave of panic hit me. Who would the robots follow now? The AI could think on its own when allowed, if they took orders from themselves now... 
 
 I cursed loudly. Things would only get worse from here. When everyone was a king, no one was.
