Also known as the **Lynch King War, The Lynch King Civil War,** or **the Grugandan Civil War, the Racism War** was a bloody conflict fought between the Lynch King Secret Service and the Resistance. Leadup to the war began in 2776 AMS, tough fighting did not officially begin until 2903. The conflict finally ended in 2991 AMS.

## Prelude

After conquering his homeland of Zombingerend and subjugating many of the surrounding nations, the Lynch King desired to take over Under-the-Dome as well, as he wanted the center of the world as his own personal capitol. A previous attempt at conquest had been attempted in the early 2000's, though it had been thwarted by the time-traveling interference of Protodermis Ken.

Taking time to build up his forces, Lynch King also sent infiltrators into Gruganda, hoping to destabilize the nation from within. At this time, the Lynch King also became aware of the 5th Agers and their underground realm. In order to capture these powerful beings as slaves, as well as to use their homeland as a staging ground, the LKSS invaded with the full force of his Zombingerend army.

Many 5th Agers escaped, though others were captured and Quarantined, a process that drained their power and made them easier to kill. The survivors sought refuge with R.Jude Macredy, who became aware of this invasion.

Infiltrators in Eastman convinced Forbus Ren and several other Knights of Dex-Starr to betray their comrades, successfully splintering the Knights and nearly destroying their castle. Around this time, the religious terrorist organization known as the Gaih'mers was recruited as allies of the LKSS.

## Initial Invasion

In 2903 AMS, LKSS forces surfaced in the Grugandan South for the first time and seize Banjo City, renaming it Lynchiius. Howepous and Yongyea Port fell soon after, while puppet governments loyal to the LKSS were set up in Darkshore, Diamond City, and the Ringed City. Vardos was the last major city to fall, with the Grugandan government dissolved in acid after the battle in 2930. During this invasion, Silverado, the strongest of the 5th Agers, became trapped in the Quarantine Zone in 2910, during an attempt to save his friend America.

In New Eden, infiltrators and racists worked together to ignore the war in Gruganda, with the acting regent, Dio Cobblepot, actively communicating and assisting the Lynch King. Shurima and Ionia, meanwhile, believed the lies that the Lynch King was simply a Grugandan warlord, and dismissed the "civil war" as someone else's problem. The Weeaboos, having abandoned Neo-Japan, were split; some, such as Agent 362, joined the Lynch King because they too were racists, while others desired to assist the Grugandans. Much of Neo-Japan was burned by Lynch King soldiers who wanted to destroy "those fucking dumb ass babies."

In 2939, the Resistance was formally created by Snoke, R.Jude, and Woomy the Weeaboo, and made an attempt to kill the Lynch King and end the war. This went poorly for all involved, with R.Jude being injured so horrifically he had to become cyberized. The surviving troops went into the mountains to hide, planning to strike back when they had the chance. The Lynch King, meanwhile, claimed the Grugandan city of Banjo City for himself, building his mansion there.

## Stalemate

In 2042, Mr. McClintock, the leader of the Military Industrial Compelx in New Eden, realized the threat that the Lynch King’s zombies posed, and began to increase border security with Gruganda. Dio Cobblepot, however, persuaded the council of New Eden into not sending any forces to aid Gruganda. With Gruganda fully under his control, the Lynch King started building up his army for an eventual push into Shurima and Ionia, unbeknownst to the two nations. While organized resistance was few and far between, independent groups like the Nine Pieces of Eight, the Rikers, and the Knights of Ren continued to thrive during this time, roaming the land doing whatever they wanted, and occasionally fighting LKSS forces. This was not seen as a massive concern, as their goals were small scale in nature.

But by 2987, the tide was about to turn. Under the orders of Macready, Resistance fighters Poe Slammeron and John Boyega contacted the ancient and wise 4th Ager Lor Sans Tekka at his beach house in Shruima, asking him to help bring Nicolas Gregigan back to Gruganda. Agreeing that the King's evil needed to end, Lor sent a map to Gregigan of how to return home through one of his alternate universe counterparts in the Sansnet, the Snowden Counterpart named Undertale-Lorax-Sans. Soon after, however, the resistance members were discovered by the Lynch King, with Poe and Lor being killed, like in the start of force awakens but if it was Sans instead and also Poe died. John Boyega managed to escape, shapeshifting to his seagul form and returning to the base, informing R.Jude that the message had been sent. Now, all the Resistance could do was wait.

## Return of the King

Arriving through a portal in the Mattress Realm, Nicholas would crash his boat, the Abigail, at Darkshore. After encountering Discount Solider 98, who would inform him of the Lynch king's conquest, a Lynch Knight tax collector named Squeetus came to collect half of 98's shit, but Gregigan intervened and fought off both Squeetus and his reformed zombies. Now wanting to stop the Lynch King, Nicolas went to seek out R. Jude Macready, fighting off bounty hunters and nazi collaborators to reach the main base. Along the way he rescued Silverado from the watergate, worrying the Lynch King. In response, the LKSS sent out Black Bisector and his commando units, who traced Nicolas to the Resitance Base in the Grugandan highlands. There, the majority of the Resistance forces were able to escape, though Woomy the Weeaboo and a handful of experienced resistance commandos were killed. Silverado, meanwhile, rejoined the 5th Agers, and began to discuss joining the fight against the LKSS.

The bisector saw Nicolas as an honorable warrior for some reason, and challenged him to a part 2 podrace. While Nicolas beat Bisector in the race thanks to Edenian mechanic Dendy Speedwagon, the surviving resistance leaders organized a counterattack, pausing only to celebrate Nicolas's victory. That celebration was crashed by the Lynch King himself, who wounded Snoke and R.Jude, and killed a handful of resistance guards by himself. An envoy from the 5th Agers named Fanta, along with America, had come to meet with the Resistance at this celebration, and America was captured by the Lynch King as he tried to flee.

Retreating even further into the mountains of Eastman, the detected resistance found hope from Nicolas, who had developed a stand, and made plans for one last attack. To bolster their dwindling forces, Snoke and courier Gionor Gionror recruited the region's independent factions, bringing the Nine Pieces of Eight, the Rikers, and the Knights of Ren into the fold. They could not reach Fanta and his kin, however: for the moment, it seemed at though the 5th Agers would stay out of the fight.

## Battle of the South

As per R.Jude Macready's plan, the Resistance was to split into two forces: infantry forces and armored divisions led by R.Jude and Nicolas, codenamed "The Mass", would head through the Mountains of Unpleasantness, using Outpost 13 as a waystation to resupply, before finally striking at the Lynch King's base in Banjo City. The army (2nd Mass) would take out his airport and means of escape, while Nicolas and R.Jude (1st Mass) would sneak into his manor and kill him. Meanwhile, Snoke's ally factions, codenamed "The Bass", would arrive to help hold Banjo City before other LKSS forces could arrive, with the hope being that their leader's defeat would lead to the collapse of their army into disorganization and confusion. However, unbeknownst to them, Lynch King had heard about this plan, and instead moved his entire army into Banjo City, where they would allow the Resistance to get in just close enough for his troops to surround them and destroy them completely, with no hope of retreat. He left his manor under the protection of Lil Pumplestiltskin and the Gaih'mers.
Closing in, the Resistance also abandoned their vehicles and moved to Banjo City on foot, as the roads in the area were too exposed to continue on. R.Jude and Nicolas headed towards the manor at this time, giving an inspiring speech about Tim Allen Zoom, and the Best life You Can Possibly Live. The first unit to enter Banjo City was under the command of Rick "Wallace" Grimes, and they found both the city and airstrip empty. Nazi snipers ambushed the group here, killing Grimes, and forcing the squad to flee for cover. At the manor, Gregigan and R.Jude were ambushed as well, with R.Jude dying to Lil Pumplestltskin's powerful attacks. In a rage, Nicolas unlocked his stand sword, avenging R.Jude, and rushed off to rescue to the rest of the Resistance.

Pinned down in a grove several miles west of Banjo City, command of the Resistance squads had inexplicably fallen to Corporal Dendy Speedwagon, who desperately attempted to keep the line from falling. At this time, Snoke and the reinforcements arrived, and started to push back LKSS soldiers led by Agent 362 and Stomach Prince Richard Spencer. The 5th Agers also emerged from a listerine tunnel at this point, fusing into Goldado and devastating LKSS forces; shortly before the battle, Fanta had convinced them to fight. Goldado's formation brought joy to the Lynch King, who had been hoping they would come: with a corrupted racism mask he had once used on Jhin, Lynch King turned Goldado into Fools Goldado, an evil spirit under his control. All seemed lost for the Resistance once again, until Nicolas Gregigan arrived and freed Goldado, then dueled Lynch King himself. In a final fight, Lynch King was killed by his own noose, and the LKSS lines finally collapsed. The War was over.

## Legacy

Unlike previous wars in Gruganda, the coalitions built in the Racism War would last for years to come. Grugandans from all walks of life, Neo-Japanese refugees, the Knights of Dex-Starr, and even some Edenian citizens had come together to stop an empire built on hate and evil, and swore that, whatever came next, they would be better. In the aftermath of the Battle of the South, LKSS forces fell into complete chaos, as many of their field generals had either been killed or captured in the battle. Smaller groups of Neo-nazis went into hiding for several memes afterwards, but they were not strong enough to act against a now united Gruganda, and by the time the new capitol of Richmond was constructed on a coastline near the now-abandoned Banjo City, they were all but extinct. Gruganda entered a Golden Age soon after the war, becoming the most prosperous nation on the continent once rebuilding had completed.

New Eden, meanwhile, saw incredible decline after the war. Their leadership disgraced after siding with the Lynch King, the High Council asked Nicolas Gregigan to return as King: instead, he asked Mr. McClintock to make the nation a democracy, and returned to Gruganda to live among his friends. After trying to institute a genuine democracy, the oligarchic institutions pushed back to such a degree that much of New Eden's bureaucracy collapsed under it's own weight. By the end of Gruganda's Golden age almost 1000 memes later, New Eden was a weakened shadow of it's former self.

Zombinegrend never recovered from the Lynch King's occupation: though he and his empire were gone, the nation was ravaged to such a dgree that it was largely abandoned by it's citizens, who fled for Gruganda instead.
