George stood in the centre of town, Remington-700 in one hand and a bag of an unnamed drug in the other. A large congregation had gathered to watch his speech.

"For too long we have been abused and restricted by the police of this town!" George roared to the crowd. "For many years, I haven't been allowed to freely use these drugs. For years, this rifle which has PEPPA'S BLOOD on it has been outlawed. BUT NO MORE!"

The crowd bellowed in agreement, stomping their feet and waving their guns.

"To show that we have the power, I will highlight to all of you how weak the police force is."

George's henchman Harry Hyena brought forward a man with a paper bag over his head. George ripped it off and pointed the man's face to the town, who gasped in shock. 

"This is police deputy chief Tommy Tiger," George said. "And now my Remington will have the blood of one more!"

He lowered the sniper rifle at the kneeling deputy. He turned off the safety and pressed the barrel against Tommy's head.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Mummy Pig was driving a hijacked bus back to town. In the seats were members of the Mummy Pig Army, Mummy Pig's personal militia. They frequently aided police as it usually meant large cash rewards and 'exclusive access to the anti-drug unit's confiscated items'. 

Mummy Pig pulled the bus up behind the town hall where she normally received her payments from the police chief. She knocked on the door and waited. 1 minute passed. 2 minutes passed. 3 minutes passed.

60 minutes later, Mummy Pig was beginning to suspect that something was wrong. She pushed the door open. A trail of blood led away from the back door. Mummy Pig waved for her soldiers to follow her as she set off into the town hall. 

The trail led her up a set of stairs towards a corner, around which was the balcony where the mayor gave his speeches from. Mummy Pig was about to head around that corner when she noticed a note pinned to the wall.

Peter,

If you come here, please know that George has finally done what we thought he was gonna do. He has gone rogue and taken the town hall. He has converted half of Peppatown to his army. I've managed to escape to my bunker. Please find me there and we can begin Operation Bacon.

Mayor Bobby Bull

Mummy Pig was stunned. 'That's why there's no one here,' she thought. She wasn't surprised at George's criminal actions, though. She knew that child was a psycho the moment he left her womb. Signalling to her soldiers to halt, Mummy Pig peered around the corner onto the balcony. She couldn't restrain the gasp that followed. George was standing on a chair, surrounded by the bodies of several police officers. Below him, half the town was cheering his name.

--

Hearing a noise from inside the town hall, George stepped down from his chair and looked inside. He saw a pink head and orange dress disappear around the corner.

"Mummy," he muttered under his breath. He turned back to the crowd. "It appears we have some unwanted visitors," George shouted to his followers. "Asher Aardvark, take your team to block the exits. Sally Sloth, take your team to the roof and get some choppers. Finn Fox, hunt her down."

--

Mummy Pig turned and ran back around the corner. She knew she had been seen by George. She knew she had to escape. Turning to her army of AK-47 wielding pigs, she said, "We have to go. Shoot anything you see, but conserve ammo."

At that moment, Finn Fox smashed in through the window followed by a group wearing the George Helmet. One of Finn's grunts popped off several rounds, annihilating Andy Pig. Finn himself sprayed his light machine gun through Mummy Pig's army, killing 5 of her soldiers.

"Retreat!" Mummy Pig screamed. Two reckless pigs attempted to hold back Finn's unit with their SLRs. They were turned into swiss cheese. Mummy Pig ran down the stairs ahead of her slower, fatter army. At an intersection between 2 hallways, she threw a smoke grenade over her shoulder and turned left. Unfortunately for her, it landed right in the middle of her army who were now blinded. Several were brutally massacred by M-16 fire as they attempted to run. The survivors turned right at the intersection, not seeing Mummy Pig. 

"Fuck," she said under her breath. She couldn't shout after them as she'd be heard by Finn Fox's army. She had no choice but to keep going.
