Take Back Walkerville



Take Back Walkerville is a chapter in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. In this chapter, after escaping from a Gulag in Siberia, Ms. Frizzle and her class barge into Elder Kettle's House to be greeted by the remaining refugees of Walkerville, Inkwell Isle and the United Kingdom, including a few from the other worlds, including Cuphead, Mugman, Elder Kettle, Lincoln Loud, King Charles III, the Mayor of Walkerville, and other people of the Walkerville, Inkwell Isle, the UK and other worlds. Ms. Frizzle and her class are happy to see the Dark Lord Knight, Cuphead, Mugman and Elder Kettle, and they hug him with Su Ji-Hoon and the Preschool Girls. The twin brothers question why everyone is hiding out in the house, but before they can get an answer, Dr. Kahl answers everyone that the Soviets hated them, just because that they are Rubyists while the Werman Reich hunted them down and Werner Werman hasn't reformed yet, but then an A7V sweeps the outside of the house, forcing everyone to hide.

Once the coast is clear, Arnold shows Cuphead, Mugman, Elder Keetle, Team RWBY, the Dark Lord Knight, Team Magic School Bus, Su Ji-Hoon and the Preschool Girls life in the house, but then a newspaper is delivered from a paperboy, William John, then Ralphie Tennelli reads this newspaper regarding of Rubyism being the most hated ideology of the Unified Soviet Red Assault Command and the rest of the Beleninsk Pact. The situation seems rather grim for the survivors; many of them are injured and food is becoming scarce. Arnold shares his story to the heroes. He was working outside when the Werman Reich War struck while the Demonic War, the War Against Yuri and the USRAC War struck at the same time, and sought refuge in the house. He learned that the titanium barrier that Dorothy Ann Rourke and Valerie Frizzle set up around the house protected it from waves of Maus Stormtroopers, A7Vs, Fokker Dr.Is and all things related to the Werman Reich. When Dr. Kahl showed up near the house with the refugees, Arnold elected himself chief of Inkwel Isle One due to Chief Choco's absence and let them stay. His current plan is to hide out in the house until they run out of food, with eating the gnomes as a backup plan.

Ruby Ramirez angrily informs Arnold that the mayor of Walkerville has been captured by Werner Werman and that they cannot just stay cooped up in the house. Arnold grudgingly shrugs the issue off, believing that the mayor has to get herself out of the mess she made. Arnold insists everyone will be fine in the house, and thinks that the rest of the worlds will be fine on their own. However, a news broadcast from a news reporter from Walkerville, Sasha Thompson, inside the Werman Palace shows Werman laughing as he sees Walkerville being caught in the massacre. The refugees are shocked to see their loved ones being killed.

While the refugees are discouraged, Su Ji-Hoon and the Preschool Girls try and inspire them to fight back to save their friends, saying that Werman wants them to run and hide. Ruby says that Cuphead knows Werman's weakness. If all of the refugees band together, they can rescue the mayor, find Werman's weakness, and save not only Walkerville, but also the United Kingdom. The refugees are optimistic, but Arnold objects on the grounds that the house is the only place safe from Werman and that there's no way to bring it to him. This gives Ruby an idea, but she says it will require everyone to work together. She puts on his goggles and begins to share a plan while Arnold looks on uncomfortably.
