Chapter Thirty-One:

Chaos' Funeral Hour


Governor Bakstab D. Ciever observed the chaotic carnage from a distance, scowling at the sound of more reports that SMG3's forces had taken more city blocks. Ciever picked up a knife and drove it into the top of another portrait depicting the mustached meme ruler, aimed directly between the eyes of SMG3.

Mere days ago, he'd been confident that the rule of that would-be realm celebrity would be toppled by the efforts of the Gravediggers of Chaos, and their founder, Arich Anarchy, had assured him of that.

But now, he was looking at his own city being reduced to rubble, despite the efforts of the GoC's best militants to fight off SMG3's forces. No one predicted this situation taking place back when the Gravediggers had their first meeting, and planned their first attack that everyone would be the domino effect leading to their target's fall from "grace".

Ciever loved chaos, even in a peaceful city like Ugandayeel, and everyone else residing in the Internet Graveyard had too. But, the chaos he saw, was beyond what anyone wanted.

"93 PINGAS DRIVE HAS FALLEN!" Someone cried on a radio, "93 PINGAS DRIVE HAS... AH!"

'Every officer and soldier. Useless.' Ciever thought, 'Is nobody capable of fighting for this city, for the chaos this world deserves? Chaos is paradise, and the only true damnation is peace and order!'

A soldier in a GOC uniform ran towards Ciever, with wide-eyes, and he was gripping his gun in an anxious manner. "Sir!" He exclaimed, "We don't have enough resources for a counterattack, and all defenses are falling. The enemy is heading this way, governor. We should surrender now!"

Ciever glared at the man with annoyance. "No!" He barked, "There will be no surrendering to SMG3 and his brand of order! Unity and peace have no place in the Internet Graveyard, and we will continue to oppose him until he is disposed of. Gather as many people as you can, and prepare to fight back by any means necessary!"

The GoC soldier ran off, just before artillery fire shook the street near Ciever's position. The governor watched defiantly, standing on the roof of his penthouse away from city hall, and watched as Ugandayeel Square's defenses were smashed with police officers, and Chaos militants succumbing to the near-superior SMG3-led attack force.

His blood boiled as more explosions shook the city, and people cried out in the distance. Ciever grabbed a radio, and screamed to a pair of GOC followers to launch every rocket they had. He heard a buzz on his phone, and answered it to find the GOC's leader was calling.

"Communications are breaking down!" Arich buzzed, "Enemy troops are getting closer towards our outpost, and we're doing everything we can to... *ksh* slow them down. Send back-up, man. *bzzt* Send a police squad, a regiment of soldiers, anyone. We're pushed to the brink here... Little ammunition left..."

Governor Ciever listened as the line went dead, and he fetched another radio, calling the closest police squad to reinforce Arich's forces. However, all he got was static, and an explosion shook the speakers of the radio.

'Peace is chaos. Chaos is peace.' Ciever thought as his blood boiled with fury, 'Madness over sanity. Stability brings nothing of value to us, and we choose the path of chaos. And anyone who chooses the foolish path of peace and stability, they don't belong in this realm, with one of those fools being...'

"SMG3!" He screamed.

A second before the word left his mouth, artillery fire struck the base of the building the governor stood upon, and the penthouse began to collapse. Governor Ciever clenched his fist tight, and yelled angrily as everything literally crumbled around him.

He fell into the streets, with cops and militants surrounding him in a protective manner, and an Ugandan Knuckles, wearing a GoC uniform, gave the fallen governor an odd sort of look.

"Do you know da wae?" The echidna asked.

"What way?" Ciever asked with annoyance.

The meme glared at him. "If you do not know da wae..." The Ugandan Knuckles intoned coldly, "...then you must pay!"

Ciever was about to say something, then the echidna tore off it's uniform, and bit him on the nose. The governor screamed, and tried to swat the Ugandan Knuckles off, just before he heard chomping, and saw several more of those things coming in his way. A pair of them were wearing outfits that complimented the color scheme of SMG3's outfit.

"He doesn't know da wae. My bruddah, doesn't know da wae."

"Da wae! Da wae! Da wae!"

"GET BACK!" Ciever shrieked, "YOU LITTLE MONSTERS! CHAOS IS THE ONLY WAY IN THE INTERNET GRAVEYARD! THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT! I KNOW THE WAY! I KNOW YOUR WAY! I KNOW CHAOS IS OUR WAY! WITHOUT CHAOS, WE ARE NOTHING IN A LAND OF DEAD MEMES! WITHOUT CHAOS, THE INTERNET GRAVEYARD AS YOU KNOW IT WILL... AHHHHHH!"

Ugandayeel police and Gravediggers Of Chaos militants attempted to defend the governor, only for a swarm of Ugandan Knuckles to incapacitate them. Ciever flailed and screamed as the red echidnas' bit him like mad with one spitting in his face before delivering the bite.

The sound of gunfire getting louder indicated that SMG3's forces had advanced onto the street adjacent to the spot where Ciever was now, and the Internet Graveyard's number one celebrity was observing the war-torn ruin of the city with a smile as a gleeful Terrance chomped madly, knowing the enemy was on the edge of defeat.

A unit of Roblox and Minecraft Creepers made their way towards the front steps of Ugandayeel City Hall with a flag in SMG3's likeness held high, depicting a skull on the front and back, with a Hulk-Yoda meme leading the charge.

"Push forward, we shall!" The hybrid proclaimed while acting like a general, "Take the City Hall! Fly over this city, this great flag will! Let it symbolize the enemy's defeat!"

Several monkey meme soldiers positioned at the main entrance opened fire with rail guns locked and loaded. The monkeys shrieked and opened fire, with a few bullets hitting Hulk Yoda hard across the shoulders. The tall green creature, allowing the angry Hulk side to take over, roared, and ran towards the soldiers.

Hulk Yoda howled, and smashed a railgun, then he grabbed a monkey meme by the head, and crushed the skull with minimal effort before tossing the corpse like a ragdoll. He ripped a railgun from another meme's hand, and blasted the monkey in the face, riddling his skull with bullets, then he threw the gun into the chest of another meme.

The big green beast shot a look at his troops, who surged up the steps, and smashed their way through the doors into City Hall. Hulk Yoda turned his attention to a monkey meme soldier, who threw a banana at him, and ran off into the chaotic streets.

BOOM! Hulk Yoda smiled as a smoking monkey limb landed at his feet, courtesy of a missile obliterating the monkey as it came down.

Nodding in approval, Hulk Yoda charged into city hall to the scene of heavy fighting between his unit and a swarm of Ugandan Knuckles bearing the Gravediggers of Chaos' infamous symbol with a handful of security guards backing them up. The hulking Jedi hybrid held up a railgun he'd obtained, and began mowing down enemy forces with a battle howl.

"FOR SMG3!" A Robloxian proclaimed, and he charged up the stairs with his fellow memes following close behind. Hulk Yoda dashed through the hall just as a couple doors opened, and a group of militants came pouring out with bomb bags strapped to their bodies.

"Destroy the ceiling, you will!" The hulking alien meme grabbed a couple of the extremists and chucked them high into the air just moments before the bomb went off.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and rubble fell, with a couple of the militants falling over and exploding in Hulk Yoda's position when the bomb countdown reached zero. Hulk Yoda fanned away the smell from the blast, then he leaped onto the next floor of City Hall, smashing through the floor next to a unit of rogue Trollface memes.

"HULK YODA SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH!" The pointy-eared giant shouted fiercely, and leaped out of the hole, slammed the ground with his fists, and sent the enemy scattering in all directions.

"Onward!" Hulk Yoda told his troops, "To the rooftop!"

He smashed a window along with the wall surrounding it, and began climbing onto the roof. The Robloxians and Minecraft zombies followed suit, making sure neither of them dropped the flag by accident.

Gunshots rang out, and Hulk Yoda grunted when he felt a bullet hit his cheek under his eye. He roared at a pair of pirate memes, who were evidently on the Gravediggers of Chaos' side, and began smashing them like mad. He grabbed an eyepatch-wearing dinosaur Goomba by the head with both hands, and smashed his skull clean off the neck Omni-Man style.

"A terrible film, the 1993 Mario movie is." Hulk Yoda growled at what was left of the loosely-named Goomba dinosaur, "An infamous legacy, it leaves behind."

The burly green meme surveyed the roof, and the war-torn landscape of Ugandayeel City, taking in the sound of gunfire and the sight of explosions and smoke filling the air. Hulk Yoda's troops had the other enemy combatants on the building neutralized. Now, the flag was in the process of being raised.

An Allied Robloxian soldier held it high as another one took down a flag dedicated to the Gravediggers of Chaos, then the memes fastened the banner of SMG3 to the post, and raised it until it reached the top.

Every soldier in the area howled with glee, and Hulk Yoda beat his chest like a gorilla before roaring like King Kong and the real Hulk. This was the hour, the grand moment when the Gravediggers of Chaos and their allies were broken, with the GoC's revolution against the rule of SMG3 thwarted before it had taken off.

Concurrently, a few streets away, SMG3 hopped off his tank with Terrance, and they approached the bitten mess that was Governor Ciever. The other Ugandan Knuckles scurried away, making room for the Internet Graveyard's number one celebrity to take the matter from here.

"Perhaps I should have had someone keeping an eye on you, Governor." SMG3 quipped.

"Y-You... are a detriment... to our realm's future..." Ciever groaned.

"Oh really? You prefer a world where everything was a backwater mess...?" The former villain rolled his eyes, "A world where the Meme Gods hardly cared about the Dead Memes, until I showed up? Dear god, man, people need to accept change. And this rebellion is over. By the way, your pal who was leading the Gravediggers is dead, just like you."

SMG3 pulled out his pistol and aimed at the city's governor. A gunshot rang out across the city block, complimenting the chaotic sounds of warfare as SMG3's forces overran the struggling factions of the Gravediggers of Chaos and their allies, taking Ugandayeel City...
