Battle of Upvotia

## Tensions

Though Upvotia was technically un-memer territory Kermit heard the prayers of quiet, scared Upvotian Kermitists: praying for freedom. He had been biding his time for thousands of years, but he could no longer wait for a weakness: He had to strike **now**. No matter the consequences...

Kermit was hardly reticent in his plans to invade Upvotia; holding flamboyant, elaborate parties and ceremonies for the appointment of officials who would be assisting in the invasion. Autism Creature, the army general, expressed concern with the way they seemed to be almost advertising the upcoming attack. Kermit assured him everything would be alright.

## At Dawn We March

Autism Creature trained the Philosoraptors day and night, teaching them how to combat against the likes of Borzoi and Karens. Among the Philosoraptors, Autism Creature found a unique volunteer...A young, passionate Kermitist named Pepe. Hope and heart fluttered in his chest as he watched Pepe train. In his journals, Autism described Pepe as a "dependable and attractive young man". Despite the rush of admiration Pepe's gaze brought him, Autism Creature knew he had to focus on the war. One mistake, and they could all fall...

Blood stained the cobblestone path as the army fought off the Karenen Militia. The irony taste of blood in his mouth gave Pepe a panging guilt in is heart. He knew not all of these people were bad. Some of them were Kermitists, forced to be silent by the oppressive government of Ohio: forced into a life of fighting for a country they don't want to protect. Still; he had to fight. Still; he had to push through. General Balls screamed a warcry filled with bloodlust and morally questionable videos. The Autism Creature did not know much Ohioish, but he recognized one command: "Fire."

Before he knew it, Autism creature was surrounded in the corpses of his soldiers. Anger boiled in his blood. Ones so curious and boisterous left to die on the ground like rodents. He aimed his gun at Balls' head. ***"YIPPIE!"***

The remaining fighters knew what that meant, and the subreddit devolved into the loud *bang* of shots fired and the pungent stench of death and gunpowder. Finally, a fatally wounded Balls bowed down in defeat. Autism Creature handed the flag to Pepe and watched with pride as the frog pushed the pole into the ground. With the army defeated, they were one step closer to victory. If they could assassinate the Admins, they'd have total control of the capital.

## Holding Out for Hope

The army setup camp to tend to their wounds and rest in a nearby Forest, were their risk of being found by Karen was significantly lower. While the others were deep in their tranquil slumber, Autism Creature kept looking up towards the sky...scanning for any sign of Abby. Eventually, he too drifted off to sleep. Little did he know; there was a reason he hadn't gotten a message that night...across the sea, Kerm Valley was under attack. (see: Siege of Kerm Valley)

While the Vallerians were busy fighting off the severely underpaid Antiwork soldiers, Kermit sent Abby to 'murica to pick up ~350 soldiers from the Freakin' Army and accompany them to Karenia.

A small group of soldiers from Crappy Design were advancing through the forest looking for any members of the kermitist military, when they hit the jackpot. A group of sleeping soldiers. The army rose with the first gunshot. One foolishly brave philosoraptor, Dyhldaugh, pounced on the soldiers: clawing at the tacky fabric. Unfortunately, Dyhldaugh was no match for the army's guns, and she fell. Veibrouytyr, Dyhldaugh's sister, glared at the opposing militia with an intensity no one had ever seen before. In the blink of an eye, the pink polka dot atop brown and green stripes became pools of deep red. The remaining soldiers open-fired on one another.

When Abby and the freakin' army soldiers finally arrived, their opponents swiftly retreated. The fairy woman carried along Kermit's message, informing the tbh creature and his troops of the intense battles happening in Kerm Valley, and the importance of staying in Upvotia for the time being. Abby proposed the fighters lay low, quietly taking the rest of the nation while the Upvotian army focused on the valley.

## Arrival of The Pape

2 days after the proposal, Pape HH left his home in District 1 and sailed to Upvotia. As a storm blew his ship off coast he arrived in the forbidden zone. As he stepped off the ship he saw the perverted inhabitants and a strangely familiar landscape. The Pape then realized the forbidden zone was a massive red-light district run by a group of Perverted un-memers. He and his entourage walked the streets weapons concealed, looking out for soldiers.

The Pape did his best to remain dignified in the face of all this, although his rage was difficult to stifle. Eventually the un-memer propaganda surrounding them got to the Pape, and he couldn't help but deface a large poster demonizing Kermit. This alerted a group of drunken un-memer soldiers stumbling about, who swiftly drew their weapons.

Right there in the alleway a small fight ensued. 2 Un-memers died and the other 3 surrendered, the Pape got shot in his arm and decided to take the alternative route into the forest, this route posed less of a direct psychical threat in being caught but required dead silence to avoid both enemy soldiers and wildlife, in addition to being generally more involved. In the forest many soldiers from this small group began to experience bouts of intense and self righteous rage it was clear the detachment had entered r/banvideogames.
