/r/Memes L.O.R.E. Vol.2

The clock ticks to 12. The screams of "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" can be heard. But not everyone was invested in screaming. Within the crowd, a tall dude with glasses, Brij, can be seen moving his eyes restlessly around him. "One heck of a year has just ended." He thinks to himself. "But in the final moments of the year, I had come to face to a dangerous realization, that a dystopia was upon us. As the clock ticks 12, I find my heart beating faster, as I scour around me. What... will cause it? I haven't gotten the vision for myself yet, as it happens in random, yet I find myself being on the lookout for trouble at all times. Will I... be able to change the future?"

## CHAPTER 1: A NEW BEGINNING

A gust of wind blows. A brown leaf breaks off from a tree and slowly wavers down to the crowd of dancing men. Amongst them stands Brij, his reflective glasses hide his eyes' intent. "A new year means new possibilities." a familiar voice narrates. "These possibilities could either be positive or negative." The leaf is about to land on Brij's shoulder when another gust of wind sweeps it. "Everyone hopes for the uncertain odds to turn out positive." The leaf flies past the ModGods on their platform, a smile on Catawan's face, as she's looking at the people having fun. "But a few stand up to take it to their own hands to try to create a bright future." Then the leaf flies past Babar on the stage, who is sharing a drink with ACA, then it flies further back the stage. "But does that still make it certain that nothing will go wrong?" A portal opens, the leaf burns with its radiation and ashes sprinkle down the ground. "OF COURSE NOT!" Jay walks out of the portal with a smile. "And that's what makes it even more interesting...," Says Manstar in front of a mic in the lonely room, "...to find out together, what the future holds for us."

Manstar, Entropy and Game Loader are in a studio of sorts, Game Loader is chilling on a bean bag. Entropy seems more involved in whatever Manstar is doing. "Just make sure to make me a super bot that defeats demons in the next arc." Says Game Loader.

"And me the best Jedi in the universe" Entropy follows.

"Hey, did you know that we're gonna die?" Manstar responds in a sarcastic tone. "When historians look through these records we do NOT want them to think we had the world's strongest jedi and the world's strongest robot just chilling with us, fucking Uno cards are weird enough already."

"The fuck's with that tone, man?" Entropy grunts. "Don't forget we were the ones who brought this place back from the ashes".

"I didn't ask for your help. I could've done it myself." Says Manstar. "Now, how about we drop this stupid discussion and get back to work." Manstar walks up to the mic in the studio.

Jay starts speaking on the mic on the stage, "\*coughs\* Hey, everyone, attention here, please, HEY, DJ GUY, COULD YOU PLEASE LOWER THE MUSIC FOR A BIT?" Brug pauses the music. "THANKS. So, back to what I was saying, I formally invite you all to a party." The people looked confused. "Oh, no, I'm not telling you to ditch this stupid party and come over to my super awesome new years party instead. I'm inviting you," he grins "to a birthday party. It's tomorrow. Could anyone guess who's it is?" Someone from the crowd is about to respond. "That's right" Jay continues to speak "our very own dearest friend, Scorchy." The lights fall on an orange fox-man. He was smiling ear to ear. The crowd cheering. "Believe me Scorchy, I wanted it to be a surprise party, but it's kinda hard to do so with THIS many people.

"Oh, how could I forget." Someone says in the crod.

"Oh it's alright" Scorchy says with a smile.

"I should get him a gift." Someone says to himself.

Scorchy hears and replies, "I appreciate the gesture but you really don't have to." He has a genuine yet slightly awkward smile on his face.

The crowd gradually went back to partying.

Later that day, Danklovic walks up to Manstar and says, "Hey, wanna help me on something I've been working on?"

"Sure, what is it?" Manstar asks.

"Come with me you're gonna love this." Danklovic says with a smile and then takes Manstar to a room, also known as the 'lonely room'. This room was created by Wen and powered by the lonely bot. A place used for people to speak what they wanna say without interruptions. The lonely bot was sitting there in the centre.

Danklovic then gives a command to lonely bot, "plus lore"

"Starting, r/memes lore" The lonely bot responded, then the bot started a 3d projection of bikini bottom. There was Spongebob and Anakin skywalker, then everyone started fighting. Suddenly Jupiter popped up and said 'hey this next segment is by me' and then the fight continued. The entire battle royale played with some variances out but with different people popping up at different points in time saying the following segment was made by them. There was Danklovic, Jupiter, ZacVII, Game Loader, lilith, Fierymanku, and Manstar.

As they were watching the lore, they got interrupted by an announcement. "Uh may I have everyone's attention? I have an announcement" They came out of the lonely room and saw a long haired, drunk man on the stage, with sunglasses on. "I'm pregnant... and I'm going to keep the baby. Thank you for your attention." He says and then Babar walks him down the stage. That man was ACA, an upper ModGod. Some people were hella confused but some others knew ACA well enough to be not phased by his weirdness. Danklovic and Manstar just shared a laugh and then went back to the lonely room.

They continued watching the lore but it suddenly it got really weird. Jupiter died at one point and went to heaven and then reincarnated as a slime. The lore ends. "That was... good. It was definitely weird t some parts but still it's great." Manstar says.

"Thanks but well, that last part is what's bothering me. This lore is kinda messy with a lot of unrealistic stuff. Could you help me like redo all this stuff but with less mess?" Danklovic asks.

"Uh sure I'd love to. I'll gather some help and we'll all get to it as soon as we can."

As the day was reaching its completion, Babar said, "It's about time to start the countdown".

Everyone started countdown together, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCORCHY".

Scorchy was delighted. "Thanks everyone, I'm so lucky to have all of you lovely friends".

Not very far from him was Thanos, whose head started tingling on the "lovely" part of his sentence. "the power it gives is... the power of love" he remembered Loader's words. He looked at Loader, who didn't seem like he got the signal. He walked up to him, and asked him, "Hey, you said the fourth card has something to do with love right?"

"Uh yes, kinda I guess, why what happened?" Loader asks.

"Didn't you hear what he said right now? 'lovely friends', could it be that he is influenced by the card?" Thanos says.

"What the fuck are you talking about? Doesn't everyone love their friends? It ain't gay to love yo homies" Loader says, "but I guess since you're a villain you probably don't have friends."

"Where did you get that idea from? I'm not a villain, and even if I was, villains not having friends is such an oldschool concept. I am literally the God of friends since I have the green card." Thanos says. "I'm not saying that he definitely 'loves' his friends in that weird sense, but whenever he says that word, I sense an aura, which is similar to what I also sense when I say the word 'friends', you might've sensed a similar feeling when you say the word 'intelligence' right?"

"I don't know never noticed" Loader replies.

"Then do it now" Thanos suggests.

"Ok... intelligence" Loader says.

"Huh? That's weird, I didn't feel anything. Did you?" Thanos asks.

"Nope, ohh wait it's because I don't have the card anymore. I gave it to someone. Idk who to be honest."

"Bruh what? Actually wait yeah that explains the dumbness." Thanos says, then turns around to look at Scorchy, who was smiling and talking to the people around him. "Fine, I'll do it myself." He says and then takes out his green card. "It's love versus friendship, let's see who wins."

"Aaaarhh" Brij groans, the influence of the yellow card starts making his head hurt. It's all very new to him. "Could it be that the card is telling me something? Huh! the disaster, it's happening somewhere. But I can't see it. Why can't I see the vision for myself yet?" Brij's face is soaking with sweat.

"Happy birthday Scorchy" A man in soviet clothes and a big moustache says to Scorchy. "You look lovely today".

"Thanks" Scorchy replies.

The man then walks out of it, and transforms into Thanos. Soon it was cake cutting time. Everyone sang the happy birthday chorus while Scorchy cut the cake. He gave the first piece to Jay. Then cut the second piece, and then Thanos arrived in the form of the moustached man. Scorchy gave the cake to him.

Later, when the cake cutting was over, Scorchy was sitting and talking with some friends, when the moustached man walked in and says with a smile, "Hi Scorchy, I think I've already said this before but you look really beautiful today. I'm Stalin by the way. Wanna have a talk? I make a good friend by the way."

Scorchy subtly flinched on the word 'friend'. As this flinch reflected in Stalin's eyes, his grin got even wider. "Sure" Scorchy says, and stands up, as they both walk to the distance. They start talking in the distance, when Stalin has a very faint aura of green around him.

They talk for some time. "Oh Stalin that is amazing" Scorchy comments on something Stalin said.

"I know right? That was crazy. So uh I gotta go soon so, if I were ever to meet you again, where would I?" Stalin asks.

"Most of my time is spent on protecting the... something I can't tell you, so yeah you can't really access that place." Scorchy says.

"Oh come on." The green aura around Stalin grows stronger, and it starts engulfing Scorchy too. "You gotta tell me. I don't want this to be the last time we meet!"

"Uh okay then. Since you're a really nice guy, I'll tell you, I have a very valuable thing that I protect. And it's stored in... well I can't name it but I'll allow you in when you want."

"How about now?" Stalin asks.

The green aura around Scorchy decreases. "Why now? Don't you have to go somewhere?"

Stalin gets the hint. "Alright... I-I'll catch you later.

A few days later, in the lonely room, "Come on, get inside." Manstar says. Avian walks in through the holographic wall. The room had a messy, chill corner and a professiona, project corner... but there was no real boundary between the two. A jedi named Anakin Skywalker could be seen working hard on the lore. Game Loader was sleeping on top of canned food. "Yeah it's not the cleanest but as you can see we're working hard on it.

"By 'we' he means me in particular by the way." Entropy then points at Game Loader "This goofball just sleeps all day." He then points at Manstar "And that goofball has the worst ideas ever".

"Dude, I'm a fucking ModGod." Says Manstar, annoyed, "don't act like you know more about rmemes than me. Besides, I got another ModGod to help with this." He then makes way for Avian.

Avian then introduces herself, "Uhm, hey guys, if you don't already know me, I'm Avian. I would love to help you guys in keeping a well detailed history of the universe, as long as I'm the main character haha."

"Yeah, sure you are" Manstar says with a slight, sarcastic laughter.

Avian understands the meaning of that laughter. "Yeah I'm just kidding. It's your story. But just think about it, I've gone through the most ups and downs in this server. I was senior ModGod for a while and then got demoted to a regular ModGod. I fight the oppressive system that controls us day and night, while also keeping the evil away from this happy universe of ours, man I'm just like an anime protagonist."

Suddenly a voice could be heard from outside the room, "The demotion was deserved and the oppressive system that controls you is autism." Someone in a green and black hoodie walks into the room. "The only anime you could be the protagonist of is Shingeki no bitches."

"Shut up OneTap nobody thinks you're funny" Avian responds.

"Yeah true, the Shingeki no bitches joke has gotten old, but gotta say the autism one was good" Manstar comments.

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Avian exclaims, "OneTap got no business making fun of me whenever he gets the chance, especially when I do a lot more work as a regular ModGod than he does as a senior ModGod"

"Ok... that's none of my business." Manstar says. " Okay everyone, I would be kinda busy with my own personal project for a while so I give OneTap full ownership of the lonely room in the mean time."

"WHAT!?" Avian exclaims. "How could you trust OneTap over... over literally ANYBODY else? You could have given it to someone who's actually involved in the project"

"Idk he seems like a nice guy, besides he was the one who offered to, and I couldn't say no." Manstar replies. "Anyways, see ya." He left off somewhere.

"W-Wait, he OFFERED to help?? And you just gave it to him? Are you out of your mind?" Avian asks, but Manstar already left.

OneTap looks at Avian. Avian says, "I don't know what you're cooking in your mind, but it definitely isn't something good." OneTap just smiles.

On Christmas day, ATJWen returned from a project of his, and he had gifted nitro-powers to most of the ModGods who didn't already have it. "Next up is Avian." Wen says.

"Umm, thanks, but I already have it." Avian says. "You should give it to someone else. Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Avian, the gift I have for you isn't nitro-power." Wen says. "Come with me." He then takes Avian through a portal.

"This... it's the Senior ModGod realm isn't it? Is it really okay for me to go there?" Avian asks Wen. Wen just smiles. Avian gets the hint and gasps. She was about to become a Senior ModGod.

In present day, Avian starts crying. "Was I really that worthless?"

Meanwhile, Stalin and Scorchy had been talking daily since the birthday party.

"Hey today you gotta tell me where that place is, I think we trust each other enough by now right?" Stalin asks, the green aura being stronger than ever.

"Alright" Scorchy says with a grin. His eyes fully green, and green aura around him. they jump through a portal. Jay sees it from a distance.

"The heart, what is Scorchy thinking!?" Jay exclaims. The portal closes. Jay quickly opens a portal to the ModGod realm, but right before he jumps in, he stops, closes the portal, and gets into a deep thought.

In present day, "You all have to believe me. I'll prove it to you." Jay says in front of a bunch of people in planet general. A Panda was there in the crowd too. Jay then walks off from the crowd, and makes a portal, and jumps in.

"I have faith in you, Jay, just please don't do anything reckless." Says the Panda. She then opens a portal to the Upper ModGod realm and jumps in.

"Oh hey, Panda, how was your trip to planet general?" Babar greets her. Panda gives him a blank stare. Wen's interest piked at that blank face. He knew something was up.

Meanwhile, Avian stops crying and goes to the ModGod realm. A man in a spacesuit notices her crying. "Hey Avian, did something happen? Something I could help you in?"

"OneTap." Avian says with visible anger in their face.

"What about him?" the spacesuit man asks.

"How does he serve no purpose in the senior ModGod team, and he continually bullies the lower life forms instead of keeping them safe, and yet he's kept his position, meanwhile I was demoted for a single bad decision?" Avian says.

"Hmm... Look, I see what you mean about OneTap, but for you, a single bad decision, I'd say it was more like a series of bad ones. But I'll look into the OneTap situation." the spacesuit guy says.

"Thanks Shockrider." Avian says, and then leaves.

In the realm that Jay jumped into, saying 'love is in the air' would be an understatement. But at the moment, not all the people in the realm were in a romantic mood. Jay quickly spots Stalin and Scorchy. The realm was red all over, except the spot where those 2 were standing, which was greenish. Stalin was here for love, but for Scorchy, he was just a good friend. Jay noticed the red card in Stalin's hands.

Stalin grins, then turns into Thanos. This breaks the immersion for Scorchy, as she starts to panic, but she couldn't do anything about it now. "Finally, the red card is now mine!" Thanos screams. "Only intelligence and ModPower to go!"

Jay jumps in and kicks Thanos. Scorchy falls to the ground, still shocked by what just happened. Thanos was about to use the combined power of red and green, but Jay quickly dodges, and creates a portal to the planet general. "Give me the strength, Auttaja!" Jay screams, and fires a grey beam onto Thanos. He gets petrified and falls into the portal.

Jay jumps onto Thanos through the portal. All eyes are on them. Thanos' petrification ends. He instantly uses his green card. Jay jumps back and closes his senses.

A green aura surrounded all the bystanders. Jay them tries jumping onto Thanos again, but is held by a bystander. He petrifies him and then jumps.

As Jay lands, he notices another bystander charging straight towards him. He jumps behind him and then kills him.

Everyone gasped at this scene. The sight of a ModGod killing an innocent bystander further increased the power of the green aura around them.

Everyone charged towards Jay at once. Jay swiftly dodged all of them and petrified some.

Within this chaos, Thanos lifts up the red card. "Your times are over, Mr. ModGod." He says with a grin.

Suddenly Scorchy jumps through the portal and snatches the red card from him.

"What the-? No worries, I'll just get it back from you." Thanos says as he quickly lifts up his green card. "I've done it once before, I'll do it again. It's an easy enou-" Thanos' expression suddenly changes, "WHAT!?"

Scorchy has thrown the red card up in the air. Jay comes in and grabs the red card. Scorchy then jumps and grabs another corner of the red card. They both fly towards Thanos. Thanos still has his green card in his hands. They use the red card to cut the green card in half.

As both of them land, Thanos quickly tries to hide the half of green card behind him, but Jay uses his lightning to kill him.

The other half of the green card is falling through the air. Scorchy grabs it. He uses its power to alter Thanos' spell. The green aura is gone. He then tears both halves of the green card to pieces. Then he looks at Jay and smiles. Jay smiles back.

Meanwhile in the Upper ModGod realm, "Here, I've transferred the ownership to you." Babar says to Panda. "I'm so glad that you guys are finally taking interest in this thing, that started as a solo projec-"

Panda kills Babar on the spot.

After cleaning the blood off her, she walks towards the cafeteria, where she meets Shock.

"Hey Panda, I just had to remove someone's ModGod powers because they were of no use. Its never easy doing that. How was your day?" Shock asks Panda.

"Oh... It went kinda similar on my end" Panda replies.
