"I can't believe you climbed that tree! I should never have doubted you!" Jack smiled.

"Ok Jack. You've been saying it for the past hour. I get it! Now put my chicken roll in your bag, I don't want him getting injured." Nathan stated.

They arrived at the jail. It had a lot of security. Electric fences, guard doggos, CCTV cameras at every angle, a trench filled with melted cheese, a canon that shot out Hail Caesar DVDs, poisonous darts filled with Vasil's desperation, Rock the Dwayne Johnson. A lot of security. They ducked down low and hid in the bushes.

"So how exactly do we convince the Gardai that we're official anti-meme campaigners? We just look like a couple of norries," Jack whispered.

"I look like one, you don't. But eh, I lied. That isn't the plan. I just made it up, cause I knew if I told you the REAL plan, you wouldn't want to do it," Nathan said.

"Oh god, it can't be that bad....can it?"

"It's not bad....it's just risky. But as I said in the previous chapter, I have a friend on the inside who's going to help us."

"Who is it?"

"It's-" BOOM! A giant explosion suddenly erupted from inside the jail. "That's our signal to go!" Nate said quickly, "Come on, you have to trust me!!"

The two of them bombed it across the field.

"Oh, and one more thing, all of Moss' followers are called Kinkers....and they have a weakness. You need to shout "Fuck off Moss" to them, and they'll do the Moss. They'll get really scared and chicken out."

"That's brilliant, it doesn't make sense though!"

"It does. It's like The Walking Dead okay? All of the people who follow Negan say "I am Negan." It's the same here. All of the people who follow Moss say "I am Moss." Except in our story, you weaken them by saying Fuck off Moss. Get it?"

"Okay! Oh shit, here comes a Kinker  now! He has a gun! FUCK OFF MOSS!" Jack screamed, and instantly the man dropped his gun and put his hands in the air, and waved them like he just didn't care. "Well that was easy!"

"Yeah, but they'll only do the Moss for a minute or two and then they'll come after us again, so we have to hurry."

Jack and Nathan made their way past the electric fences, around the guard doggos, magically dodged the CCTV cameras, super-jumped over the melted cheese trench, punched the Hail Caesar DVDs, used Captain America's shield to avoid the poisonous darts.....all that was left was Rock the Dwayne Johnson. He stood there in all his glory. 

"Can i get your autograph?" Jack asked in awe.

"Stop Jack! He's seducing you! FUCK OFF-' But before Nate could finish the magic words, Rock pulled out a boxset from between his abs. It was Hannibal season 4.

"All you need to do to have season 4 is to give up and go home," Rock said angelically. Nate and Jack stepped closer.

From the rooftops, a mysterious figure swooped down and snatched the boxset from Rock's hands. Jack and Nate came out of their trance. "FUCK OFF MOSS" they shouted together and Rock shrivelled up into a prune. They ran inside where the mysterious figure waited. He stepped into the light.

"Jack, meet my friend. Spiderman." Nate smiled.

"Well, it's actually me, Tom Holland, as Spider-Man, but call me what you like," Tom said removing his mask.

"Can I call you Uncle Ben?" Jack laughed. Tom cried. Nate hit Jack. "Sorry!"

"I took out all the police guys around the building, so you two should be safe to find your friend. I would love to help more, but I gotta go. Need to find Moss the Powerful's hideout. But I'll keep you guys updated! See ya!" He swung out of sight.

"How are we supposed to find Erika in this place? It's like a maze!" Jack stated.

"Just follow the trail of Chilli Nuts." Nate pointed to the trail.

So they followed it. 

Along the way, they passed by some cells. Inside one of them was a familiar face, he just didn't have his glasses on.

"Dylan?!" Nate exclaimed.

"Nate? I can't believe it's you! Help me get out of here!"

"I'll come back for you, I promise!"

"You better!"

After an hour or so of following the Chilli Nut trail, Jack and Nathan started to sing 'Erika' in the hopes that she'd hear it. She did.

"Over here guys!"

"Erika! Let's get you out! Where's Paula?" Jack asked.

"She's in a different prison cause she's not as dangerous as me."

"Awh damn, I brought these eggs for nothing," he sighed, throwing the eggs at the floor in frustration.

"How do we get you out? Is there a key somewhere?" Nate said. 

"There is but I don't know where... the doors can also open up if you say Londonderry in a British accent....forget that though...... But look at these eggs....they're burning through the floor....like there's an acid of some sort inside them. Jack, do you have anymore of those eggs left?" Erika asked.

He checked his bag. There was one hidden at the bottom.

"Ok, throw it at the door to my cell."

"Just saying, I dunno how these eggs have acid in them....stand back."

He threw it and it splattered on the bars. They began to melt away. Erika waited a few minutes before kicking at the bars. They broke, and she was able to squeeze through the gap.She gave the lads a hug. "Thanks so much guys, honestly."

"So what do we do now?" Jack mumbled thoughtfully.

"We have to fight for the memes. We have to fight for what's right.  We have to fight Moss." Nate beamed confidently.

"But he's so powerful. We won't stand a chance." Erika stated.

"Maybe not alone. But if we recruit people to join us....Memers, maybe we'll stand a chance then."

"Moss has a big army though."

"Yeah but we're bigger," Nate smiled proudly.

"Kinky," Jack laughed.

"No! I meant our hearts are bigger. We might not have the numbers but we have the hearts!"

"Love conquers all," Erika smiled.

"Alright, let's not get all cheesy," Nate warned.

"Cheese....cheese....melted cheese...." Jack's eyes widened as he looked down and saw that he was standing on melted cheese. The Indian boy's voice echoed through his mind as he became dizzy. "Cheese touch, cheese touch, cheese touch."......'Why didn't you warn me?' Jack thought to himself before passing out.

He woke up outside. Erika was sat beside him. There were lots of people gathered around in groups, the inmates from the jail.

"You guys broke them all out?" Jack asked.

"Yeah. We found this nice guard doggo called Jimmy. He had a key to all the cells around his neck. He gave it to us. What a good boy."

"Listen up lads!" Nate raised his voice and stood on a chair so everyone could see him. "I want to fight Moss the Powerful. And win." Everyone began to laugh. "No!! Listen to me! We all love Memes, that's why you guys were put into jail in the first place right? And who put you in that jail? Moss! I don't know why, but he  believes that memes ruin lives. Well you know what? That's bullshit! Memes bring joy, and laughter, and they bring people together. They've brought us together. If we have enough people, we can beat the Kinkers. Who's with me?!"

Silence.

Then everyone began to cheer. It was time to defeat Moss and the Kinkers, once and for all.
