-Chapter 9-
Laharls woke up, all agitated but concerned. Where were the others? Even worse, where was his trusty banhammer? Laharls shuddered to think he was but a lowly regular user. A little up the beach, he noticed a few people walking towards him.
"Hey, you two! Could you help me out? I'm looking for a few people, have you seen-"
"
There are approximately 4919 registered users currently using the message boards." they replied.
"Uh, ok...
>_>
<_<
But I'm looking for 3 specific users. Have you seen-"
"http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/feedback/index.php?type=23"
"What the **** is that? It even says right there 'Questions about another user or a specific board' aren't acceptable. Just answer my question, I command you as the embodiment of the Warth of Laharl and the admin of-"
"Are you claiming to be the admin?"
"No, not here, over at my-"
"
Impersonation - Impersonating other users by creating and/or using a user account with a name clearly intended to impersonate, mock, or antagonize another user, or otherwise falsely claiming to be another member is strictly prohibited.Your account is suspended, pending review by a real administrator. You're coming with us."
Laharls was dragged off and thrown into a prison cell.
"Got you too, huh?" Spinbel walked over to laharls.
"Spinbel? What are you doing here? Have you seen Wave, Nitro, or BIASK?"
"Wave and Nitro are here too. Saw them being dragged in. As for BIASK...golly, sure is a mystery. You think he'd be the most likely to be modded."
"WAVE! NITRO! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?" Laharls yelled. But the only response he got was a smack to the head and a "no posting in ALL CAPS."
A few floors up, Wave was sitting in his cell, thinking of how Espeon was miles away and cursing himself for being the cause of this whole mess. Wave nearly drowned when the boat fell apart but a kindly Vaporeon had carried him to shore. Wave's return to GameFAQs apparently occurred too soon, because the mods remembered they had already exiled him a few weeks ago. So here he was, locked up in a cell and muffled so he couldn't say anything.
Meanwhile Nitro was arrested as well. He had survived the boat wreck by swimming to shore himself. He was strong enough to do so, thanks to his state-run health care system, which made sure he had always received his ration of vitamins as a kid. He got modded for posting a G-Rated Intermission, the type of story that might have been acceptable on God knows what boards he came from, but not GameFAQs. He sat in his cell, ruminating on the inherent corruption of the mods.
How many hours passed? No one knows. Could've been 2
or 3...no one was really keeping count. After a while the mods came in and dragged spinbel to court.

"Don't know, don't care. I have the banhammer here."
"Dude, I broke a couple rocks..."
"YOU DAMAGED MY ANTIQUE ROCK COLLECTION? Now this is serious. Expect a harsh treatment."
Spinbel was not amused. "May I object, your Honor?"
"Objections are an ancient fad and against the Terms of Use."
"Well shoot. When did that ever stop me?

"Hmm, a four-person invasion isn't that big. But who cares, I can delete whatever I want. YOU! *points to laharls* You will work off this punishment by becoming my personal slave. YOU TWO! *points to Wave and Nitro* to the Contribution Mines! And YOU *points to spinbel*...you will be suspended."
Everything went black for our heroes as this chapter faded away into endingness.
