Forest, Unknown Location
God, it feels like we've been running for hours.

The sun's already coming down... I'm so tired...

Where are we even going to go? The Technate is too far away...

And the Feminist Forum doesn't exist anymore...

I know a place. It's nearby, in this very forest.

Oh, great! What's the place?

... It's the Environmentalist part of the forest...

No. No way. Not a chance we're going there.

Didn't a couple of them starve to death because they refused to eat animals and someone trampled their crops?

Anyone got any better ideas?

No...

Shit.

Well, we have nowhere else to go. Just follow me.

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
Okay, which one of you stole from my property?!

Hey, we all agreed to share here!

I don't think we agreed to steal private property!

He's got a fair point, Greensynd.

Private property shouldn't exist.

Ecosoc definitely did it.

What an outrageous claim! I didn't steal from you!

Sigh. I liked this place better when it was just the two of us, Envi.

It was your idea to invite more people to the village!

Can you people just stop fighting for one second? I swear, it's all you do these days. We have visitors.

Okay, I'll go greet them. Can you guys figure it out this whole thievery thing by yourselves?

Fine.

Ecovillage Entrance, Forest Community
( arrive at the entrance to the Forest Community)

Well, here we are!

Wow. This place looks way bigger than it used to.

Yeah, they've developed quite a bit.

Greetings and welcome to the Forest Community! I see you've brought some friends along today, Greenlib.

Well, I might have to move back in, and with all of these people...

Oh? Why is that?

Long story. Is Environmentalism here?

Yes! She will be with you shortly.

(After waiting for a short time, arrives)

Hello, vi-

( notices )

Greenlib?! You're back?

Yeah... Sorry to come back home like this.

"Like this"? What do you mean?

Well...

The Centrist Congress has been invaded and abandoned.

Huh?

Yeah. A weird one-eyed guy and some three-eyed creatures took over the entire Congress and killed multiple people.

Oh my God! That's horrible!

Yeah. We're gonna have to stay here for a little while.

Well, please, come in! Make yourselves at home!

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
You can stay at my place for now. I have enough room for all of you.

Hey, what's up with those people?

( points towards )

Oh, yeah, they're high.

Really? That's it? Why is one of them naked?

He just... does that.

Okay.

What's up with your crops?

Some petty anti-environmentalists decided to trample and steal many of our crops recently. They really hate us.

(While walking around, come across  and the others)

Oh, Envi! You've brought in some new people to the community?

Sort of... They don't have a home anymore.

What happened?

We'll explain it later. I'm way too tired right now.

Yeah. We've been running for hours.

This is an emergency, people. They deserve to know. Hey, you, you should call everyone here so we don't have to bother everyone individually.

Oh, uh, sure. Can you ring the bell?

Alright.

( rings the bell, and everyone in the Community arrives at the Square)

What's going on?

I was sleeping and you people woke me up. This better be important or I'm going to kill you all.

You always say that and you never do it.

I can dream.

Everyone, please, be quiet, this is extremely important.

...

Today, Greenlib and some of his centrist friends arrived, because their home has been destroyed.

The Centrist Congress? Why's it been destroyed?

We were invaded by a mysterious one-eyed being and an army of three-eyed monstrosities. They are extermely dangerous and can grow their army by absorbing people.

That sounds horrifying!

They've also killed many of our friends...

Now, the entire Centrist Congress has been split up and I presume the survivors are all separated into different groups. For all intents and purposes, it is disbanded. And it is very likely that the one-eyed being and the creatures will follow us here and invade this place.

What?! That's impossible! This Community is so far away from everywhere else!

We don't know how many of those things are out there. What we saw at the Congress might've been just a taste of what was to come.

Are we gonna have to fight? I really don't want to do that...

Let those things come at me! I'll beat the shit out of as many as I can!

Oh, I'd love to see you pussies try to attack anything!

(Suddenly, everyone turns to face...)

It's the anti-environmentalists !

Yup! And we've brought a friend!

( reveals that he has a on a leash)

...

What the fuck is that?!

It's one of the creatures!

Forest, Unknown Location
So we're setting up shop here?

Yeah. Wonder who these tents belonged to?

Does it matter? Free tents!

...

Radcent, are you okay? You haven't said a thing in hours.

And he won't stop looking at that thingy!

I'm fine.

Whatever you say...

(The group gets ready to sleep)

Alright, good night everyone!

Good night!

(As go to sleep,  remain awake)

Radcent... You look really weird. Do you have a fever or something? Was that guy carrying some weird cyclops disease?

I feel great.

You're starting to scare me... What's that red thing on your face?

Everything is perfectly fine.

( inches closer to )

Uh... Can you back off a little bit?



( stabs in the left eye with a sharpened metal skewer)

GAH! WHAT THE FUCK?!

( tries to attack, but Radcent stabs him directly through the brain. drops to the ground, lifeless)

...

( suddenly wakes up, and tries to wake )

Hey... I heard a loud scream...

Oh, shit, really? It might be one of the other survivors!

( go to wake up, but...)

W-What the fuck?!

Who did this?! Where's Radcent?!

...

Uh... Declass?

( turns to see stabbing  with a skewer through the head)

Fuck!

( rushes back to grab a weapon, and he manages to get a spatula)

Where are you, you piece of shit?!

( frantically looks for, but can't find him)

...

(After looking for minutes on end, concludes  escaped, and tries to clean up the bodies while shaken)

God... This is horrible...

(While dragging 's body, his vision suddenly goes black)

...

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
Shit! What do we do?!

Don't worry too much. They're easy to kill, and there's so many of us that it can't possibly get us all.

Oh, I'd like to see you try and kill this thing! It ate Anarcho-Meteorism whole!

(The tries to lunge at the environmentalists, but is stopped by the leash)

Don't get too hasty now!

We're here to make some demands, lest we use this thing against you.

What are your demands?

Well, we're gonna need you to abandon this forest, and let our good friend Industrialism take over! You can move to some other plantland, we'll let you live and you can go back to fucking trees or whatever you degenerates do.

I... don't know...

We refuse the offer!

Ecofash! I-

Envi, we can't keep running away every time something like this happens. We have enough manpower to fight back now.

...

Well, I'm taking the initiative!

( rushes to attack and the, but is blocked by  and pushed to the ground)

What a shame it has to end like this. Release the hound.

( unleashes the and it runs towards the environmentalists)

It's coming our way!

Brace yourselves.

(The environmentalists use a variety of makeshift weapons to block the 's attacks, but they break easily)

This isn't working!

Libpac, look out!

Ack!

( jumps on top of and mauls, and begins to devour him)

Wait... it's just eating him! We can hurt it! This is our chance!

Leave it to me!

(While attempting to attack the, is shot through the head with a shotgun by )

You think we're just gonna let you kill our new dog?

Community Grounds, Forest Community
(Meanwhile, and  are locked in combat while  watches)

Alright, I'm off to help Thneed. Keep that cyborg occupied.

( approaches the environmentalists, while lands a good punch on )

Gah! How the hell are you so strong?!

My strength is proportional to the current global climate.

... Okay.

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
( and continue to trade blows, with  getting the upper hand. Meanwhile, the  finishes devouring  while  starts shooting into the crowd)

This is an animal! At least I think it is? Why are you treating it like your battle slave?!

Now's not the time, Totlib.

You're not really helping yourself either, Anpac! You're not even trying to run!

What's the point? I only came here because my home was destroyed by these three, and now I'm in this situation again. I'm tired of seeing my friends die. I see no reason to keep living.

Please, move! We need to get inside!

What for?

We need to get her potions! They can heal the wounded!

Oh, come on! Don't even try. We can't win. The strongest people here are getting their asses kicked.

( points towards and  getting beat up with a tire iron by )

Just let us through!

Fine.

( moves out of the way, and a shot zooms through centimeters away from his face)

Sigh.

( turns around to see dead on the ground, and  getting shot in the back by )

Oh, well.

Ecovillage Entrance, Forest Community
(Meanwhile, are all attempting to escape through the main gate, but they find it blocked off by a ton of scraps and two figures on top of the pile...)

Who the hell are these people?!

Heh.

Oh, no... Not you...

Thanks for the call, V.

No problem.

What is the meaning of this?! Who are you? And why are you with him?!

I'll let Environmentalism do the honours of explaining.

What?

Envi, please, explain...

This person is... my son.

Huh?

I did something I deeply regret, with someone I despise...

What the fuck?! And you've never brought this up until now?!

Sorry.

What's his deal, anyways? Why are you here?

Well, this very polite individual invited me here to kill every single one of you!

Even Anti-Environmentalism and his gang! They're doing most of the job for us, but we don't care.

So we've trapped you all here, and this forest is very easy to burn down!

No, please, don't do this!

Should've spent time with your son when you had the chance.

( pulls out a match, lights it, and throws it on the ground, revealing that the entire entrance and the surrounding area are doused in gasoline)

No!

Goodbye, mom!

(The area suddenly comes ablaze, and the environmentalists run away)

Well, that was easy. Hopefully we don't have to burn more forests after this. Wouldn't want to leave all the woodland creatures without a home, y'know?

... Sure.

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
(Meanwhile...)

Please, have mercy!

No mercy for treehuggers.

( shoots in the head, throwing him into a  pile of bodies. Near the pile, the  is eating )

This is happening again! We get invaded, everyone gets killed one by one, and then some people escape! We have to prevent this!

But how? We have nothing to fight with!

We should focus on getting people to safety!

( tries to help, who has been shot in the back)

Th-thank you...

The rest of you, get to safety!

Safety? Where?!

Out of the forest!

They're just going to follow us there!

(Suddenly, arrive at the scene in a panic)

The forest! It's on fire!

Oh, shit! Look!

( points towards the fire)

Okay, we have to go, now!

Hey, wait up!

We have something that can heal him!

Okay, but make it quick!

Community Grounds, Forest Community
(Meanwhile, a beaten and bloodied is trying to fight back against )

God, this would've been so much easier with a gun! Why did that asshole have to hog all of them for himself?

I can... still-

( strikes in the head)

This is getting boring.

(Suddenly, appears behind )

Huh?

( stabs with a knife)

Gah!

Holy... shit...

( begins to back away, dragging an unconscious along with him, while  repeatedly stabs . Meanwhile...)

Shit!

( and lunge at, trying to disarm him)

Help me, dog!

(The ignores his calls for help, deciding instead to attack )

Ah!

(The begins to chase after, but is suddenly shot through the skull with a rifle by a battered )

Fuck... you...

( limps over to the dead, while throwing away a bloodied wooden spear)

What the-?!

(While examines the,  notices a dead, severely mangled and eye-less  in the area  came from)

Leave. Now.

O-Okay!

(Meanwhile, successfully disarms )

Hey, you got it!

( points his gun at )

Please, have me-

Nope.

( shoots in the forehead)

Brutal!

( limps over to them)

You two... please... leave as fast as you can...

But we need to help our colleagues!

Uh... Ecosoc...

What?

( notices the forest fire behind him, and a burning running away, while  tries to help him)

Oh.

(Meanwhile, comes across the wounded )

Hey, you! help me out here!

Is he unconscious?

Of fucking course he is! Now help me carry him to the back entrance!

A-alright!

Back Entrance, Forest Community
(Meanwhile, are trying to escape through the back entrance, but...)

It's blocked off!

Oh no...

What's up, bitches? You're not getting out of here!

Why did you do this? Why did you betray us?!

It's simple. My end goal has always been to kill you all. I found that Anti-Humanism kid in the woods, killing any campers that come through his territory. I took him under my wing, and trained him for the day where the anti-environmentalists made their final attack!

V...

God fucking damnit, Envi! We're gonna die, and it's all your fault!

Why are you blaming her for this?! How could she have known?!

Watching you fight is so fun. I'm sad that this moment won't last forever.

You asshole!

( tries to climb up the barricade, but slips and falls)

Try all you want!

Hey, Pacfem! Don't you have some magic broom that can help us escape?!

I think I do!

( whistles a tune, but nothing happens)

What was that?

I... I think it got charred in the fire...

Damnit!

This is taking a bit too long. Think I might call my good friend over to-

(Suddenly, is shot through the chest)

Wh-... Wha-

( is shot again, this time between the eyes. He falls backward and slips down the barricade)

Huh?

(Everyone turns around to see the source of the shots: with a smoking rifle, with  behind him)

Woah! Demtrans!

He looks so badly damaged...

Go on! Start breaking down that barricade!

(The group begins to collectivelly push down the barricade, while try to heal the wounded)

It's starting to budge!

(The barricade begins to falter, as arrive and call for help for )

My God! What happened?

An ass-whooping happened. Now heal him.

Ecovillage Square, Forest Community
(While the survivors continue the push, walks through the burning forest and inspects the bodies)

God... Where is everyone?!

Well, you won't find them here.

Huh?! Who are you? Why are you still here?

I don't care enough to run away. You can kill me, if you want.

It's no fun to kill someone who wants to die. Just wait for the flames to engulf you.

That's too painful, and would take too long. You can just grab that gun on the ground and shoot me.

...

What? I heard the yelling back there. You want to kill everyone here. You already killed that Anti-Environmentalist guy. What's the deal with you?

I'm... not sure...

Sigh. Well, everyone else has probably escaped by now. It's just you and me here. If you're not going to kill me then I'll just leave.

...

Back Entrance, Forest Community
(As the barricade at the back entrance is knocked down, 's body is crushed by the weight of it and the survivors begin to pour out. arrives at the scene)

Oh, you're here!

I'm so glad you're safe, Anpac... You've really been worrying me recently.

Save the conversation for later. There's a forest fire we need to escape from.

(As the survivors leave, looks back to see  climbing onto a tree and jumping from tree branch to tree branch)

Sigh.
