**DexDude's execution** was an event in Hardcore Empire that was organized by Dev and observed by the members of Hardcore Empire (excluding PolarIce) to punish Pivotal for trying to illegally visit DexDude without Dev's permission.

## History

On July 31, 2023, Pivotal visited DexDude when he was serving his time. Lucky joined Pivotal during his visit in the cell to observe the two. DexDude and Pivotal exchanged a few words, but then it fell silent in the prison cell. It wasn't until Pivotal said in the chat "idk man that's too risky" that Dev and Lucky got confused. They were trying to figure out why Pivotal said this but then Dev had Lucky get Pivotal out of the cell because he suspected that they were up to something. So Dev and Lucky sent Pivotal off, letting him know that he wasn't allowed to visit DexDude again unless if he had Dev's permission.

It wasn't until August 8, 2023 that something strange happened again. Fundy wanted to visit DexDude on this day as well. He was joined during the visit by Lucky once again and BananaBoi too. After a pretty awkward visit, the three then exited the prison cell. However when they got out of the cell, they noticed that Pivotal was crouched right above DexDude's cell ominously. Pivotal never said why he was there, so Lucky forced him out of the prison and then immediately talked to Dev about what Pivotal tried to do. Dev then realized that something was definitely happening between PolarIce, Pivotal, and DexDude, so he banned Pivotal from the prison. He then decided to organize DexDude's execution since he was too concerned of the unknown plan that PolarIce, DexDude, and Pivotal had.

## The execution plot

### PolarIce's arrest

On the day of the execution, Dev and Lucky arrested PolarIce before the execution. They found him still guarding the prison, but when they saw PolarIce, they saw that he was wearing no armor and presumably had nothing on him. He told them that he had died and lost all of his belongings. So Dev and Lucky quickly put PolarIce in the prison cell and killed him to check if he had any belongings on him, which it turned out that he didn't. He was then put in the maximum security cell since he was considered too dangerous and suspicious on the server. After this, Dev and Lucky returned back to the Emprire Stage and prepared for DexDude's execution

### The execution

When Dev and Lucky returned to the empire stage, Dev waited for everyone to settle down and get in their seats to watch DexDude get executed. However the server was too chaotic and they also had to wait for Cinder, Pivotal, and Fundy as well. But once everyone settled down, Dev had Drago nudge DexDude over to the trapdoor above the pool of lava. That's when Dev pulled down the trapdoor and DexDude began drowning in the lava until he eventually died. However as DexDude was dying, Pivotal suddenly shot Fundy and killed him. After this, he quickly fled off into the ocean. He was only chased by Aidan and he tried to fight Aidan off of him before deciding to just log off.

## Aftermath

After Pivotal had logged off, Fundy returned to Hardcore Empire and asked for his things back. But everyone told Fundy that his belongings were nowhere to be found. So Fundy pulled out his extra belongings out of his ender chest and logged off from the server. The members of the server then gave Drago a tour of all the main locations on the SMP while trying to find out where Pivotal had gone at the same time. They found out that Pivotal had completely moved everything out of his mushroom house and PolarIce had moved some things out too. They searched Pivotal's secret base during the tour but turned up nothing. Everyone then returned back to Hardcore Empire and they were all left thinking of where Pivotal could have gone.
