Take Back Walkerville



"The survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."

--Herbert Spencer (opening quote)

"Your liberty will not be freely given to you. You must be bold to liberate yourself."

--Lailah Gifty Akita (ending quote)

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 Earth, including many 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, Earth 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 and others hated them, just because that they are Rubyists while the Werman Reich and New Central Powers hunted them down. And Werner Werman hasn't reformed yet, but then an A7V sweeps the outside of the house, forcing everyone to hide.

The Elder Kettle's house have secret door to make anyone enter underground center and underground shelter

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. Also,someone will become against Team RWBY due to Ruby Rose's treason in Australia that caused Su Ji-Hoon and Preschool Girls must calm down them though Anti-Rubyism being spread in the entire of Inkwell Isle. Arnold shares his story to the heroes. He was working outside when the Short Knife War (war between Grand Alliance versus Werman Reich and New Central Powers) struck while the Demonic War (in its closing days), 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,Büssing A5Ps, Fokker Dr.Is and all things related to the Werman Reich, then he recalls the stories of the The Devil's former debtors trying to convince Kaiser Werman I and leaders of New Central Powers to stop the attack, Tooey's brave efforts to retrieve Molly's lost Mary Jane shoe that was on the Walkerville City Hall's stairs from before the evacuation, and even Ms. Frizzle's class' experiences in the trenches. When Dr. Kahl and Blind Specter 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. Near the end of this broadcast, Eustace Bagge, much of his dismay, changes channels into different news networks covering the USRAC War, the Walkerville Massacre, the First Inkwell Isle War, attacks being commenced by South Vietnam and many other events of World War III.

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 universe. The refugees are optimistic, but Arnold objects on the grounds that the house is the only place safe from Werman Reich 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.

Transcript
After we successfully escaped an USRAC Gulag in Siberia, me and Team Magic School Bus barge into Elder Kettle's house. Later, we were instead being greeted by all the refugees and survivors of Walkerville, my homeworld (Earth) and other worlds, in which they were hidding in an underground shelter that build under this house.

Unlike Cuphead, Mugman and Elder Kettle, the refugees, the survivors and everybody of those who are guarding inside this house removed their shoes, boots, slippers, pumps, wedges, heels and flats, leaving them all wearing socks, stockings or barefoot, just like what I usually do in my house, along with my family. Not like when anyone's wearing shoes inside their house while in America.. which looks like a pachyderm pen at the zoo to me... and the rest of the world I guess.

The refugees, the survivors, Ms. Frizzle and her class are happy to see Dark Lord Knight, Cuphead, Mugman and Elder Kettle, and we all even hug them, so as me and the Preschool Girls.

Also, we were greeted by many survivors from many different worlds, be it Sparkton Hills, Adventure Bay, Bikini Bottom, Boxwood Terraces, etc.

What we see is the cheering crowd while witnessing a military parade celebrating the victory of the Coalition of the Red Star after the Walkervillian Revolution had been ultimately crushed. What I see are PLA nuke cannons doing the 31-gun salute while the crowd cheered loudly and seeing Chinese and many other Coalition soldiers and vehicles marching together. Confetti fell down while the enemy forces are marching to the instrumental tune of the Chinese national anthem, "March of the Volunteers."

Everyone gasped after these two KBS newscasters told us to be right back in a few minutes of some public announcements. Courage scramed loudly too. "Oh, no. Werner Werman is a bad mouse now," Grandpa Nat said, "But even he doesn't deserve to be turned to be a tyrannical ruler." Molly, Walter, Layla, Grandpa Nat and all the attended school students from different worlds and their parents hugged each other all together in warmth, small smiles and tears of joy, hoping that the worse can be over soon while Captain Brineybeard kneels down and taps the floor in such despair, so he said, "Curse you Werman! Why must you take everything we love?" He ripped his shirt in half, revealing his hairy chest. He sobbed in dismay. Everybody did the damn same. They're depressed, but not for long, because Cuphead and Mugman are about to make a speech together... optimistically announcing their new plans.

Not enough? Well, we've also got bottles of Nuka-Cola to drink and to trade with trenchside and roadside wanderers. medicine, baby toys and essentials, a few of birth control stuff so women would ensure that there won't be too much mouths to feed, survival guides, parts of a high-tech water purifier so we don't have to drink our own urine (with blueprints included), and even Stimpaks and RadAways so we couldn't go out like men. Awesome!

When a million Coalition, Beleninsk and Central soldiers would be coming to run over the hill, we would've been pissed if we don't have enough bullets, but we would be lucky if we get laser weapons, Fat Man nuclear catapults, plasma cannons, tesla cannons, gamma guns, and even blueprints to build traps, defenses, horticultural farming facilities, factory farming facilities, workbenches and ammunition-making facilities.

Good thing I didn't call either 1-1-2, 1-1-9, 9-1-1, or any other emergency numbers (while 1-1-2 calls for the National Police Agency, 1-1-9 calls for the Korea Fire Service and the Korean Red Cross, including the Gyeongyeong Hospital, 1-1-1 for National Intelligence Service (South Korea), 1-1-3 for espionage reports, 1-8-2 for missing people, 1-1-4 for phone service provisions and/or 1-2-7 for narcotics reports in my country and my village). but I only dialed something strange about this: 3-5-7... or three-fifty-seven (.357). A reference to the .357 Magnum. Sounds good to the Second Amendment lovers like me.

Trivia

 * When Dorothy Ann raises her fist in the air by saying "Bastards!," it's a refernece of when an unnamed medical officer did the same in Threads when she reacts about the dwindling food supplies.
 * Following this, Arnold, D.A. and Ralphie began to argue over where to house survivors that aren't in Elder Kettle's house.
