The Combine Insurgency refers to the final stage of the Avatar Wars from July 2008 to February 2009, encompassing a desperate play by kulade to save the New Avatar Order through an alliance with the Universal Union.[1] Using Thorvald’s doppelgängers already in control of the Eastern Union, kulade helped establish a base of operations in the Moscow Oblast, erecting an unsightly citadel in the capital city itself.[2] While the ensuing battle saw kulade vanquished and the Avatars effectively defeated, remnant Combine expeditionary forces under General Grievous continued to search for Thunderfall's cure and a means of delivering kulade from hiatus,[3] leading to a manhunt for Mr. Toyoda and eventually spiralling into open war with Coruscant.[4] The Republic's decision to abandon Moscow in the midst of a zombie outbreak led to the Horde overwhelming most of Eastern Europe and Japan until they were hacked out of reality the following year.[5][6][7]

The defeat of General Grievous and the Coalition of the Leaderheads in the Battle of Fort Schmerzen marked the end of the Avatar Wars, as Combine forces were routed from Europe and the last major Avatar faction dissolved.[8][9] The main characters immediately entered the Gem arc;[10] influence by the zombie plot on the search for Toyoda led to knock-on effects that would have lasting implications for Coruscant.

Emergency in Moscow and fall of the Avatars

Reeling from his defeat in the Battle of Earth, kulade began recruiting mercenaries to supplement depleted manpower.[11] During the raid on Nar Kreeta, CivGeneral, Thorvald and Alyx learned he had brokered support from the Combine and CurtSibling, although Curt's troops were not seen active beyond the planet.[1]

Returning to Earth, CivGeneral began plans to liberate the Union and storm the citadel.[12] Looking to reduce collateral damage and deny kulade sizable military support, Thorvald tasked his advisor Bjørn, present at the government office, to encourage his doppelgängers to declare war on Canada.[13] This reduced Union troops present in the country to a sliver of their standing strength, leading the Combine to substitute their own men where local forces were inadequate, in turn stretching their manpower so thin that by the time kulade was defeated, no less than four divergent groups had penetrated Moscow.[14][15][16]

The assault on Moscow comprised allied forces of Coruscant and the Blood Gulch Casino,[17] and independent armies of Taillenia[18] and choxorn.[15] Fleeing Napoleonic remnants, Timmy Turner, Cosmo and Wanda crash-landed in the Kremlin; the fairies were mind-controlled by Denzel Crocker and Timmy fled the scene.[19] The fused personalities of taillesskangaru and Rocket subsequently declared war against all other combatants,[14] while Stylesrj's Cybran expedition pulled out due to crippling austerity.[20]

A three-pronged attack crippled the Citadel's defences, but choxorn was captured by Rocket/tailless and Stylesjl.[21] CG led a commando team to apprehend kulade, finding Thunderfall recaptured;[22] while Thorvald subdued his avatars,[23] CG pursued kulade to the roof to re-enact the finale of Half-Life 2.[24] The Citadel's destruction vaporized the Civilization Fanatics' Center firewall, leading to further Combine (and other parties') infiltration into Earth before Thunderfall was restored to full strength.[25][16] Detained by Taillenian forces while Rocket/tailless pursued ulterior motives beneath the surface,[26] choxorn was set upon by the DYOS 1 Zombies and conscripted into the Horde.[27][28] Pressure from Taillenia and the Combine forced Coruscant to abandon its field headquarters,[29][16] leaving Moscow to the zombies.[30]

Hunt for Toyoda

Seeking to salvage the original mission, the Combine contracted General Grievous to find "Thunderfall's cure", and/or a means of rescuing kulade from hiatus.[3] Bjørn disclosed to Thorvald that he had received Thunderfall's soul from Mr. Toyoda,[31] prompting Thorvald to hire CivGeneral on a bounty of €200 billion.[32] The information leaked to Grievous, who proceeded to ghost CG's movements.[33] Fleeing Moscow via an abandoned tunnel network, CG's party found Rocket/tailless investigating a secret supply cache tied to Toyoda;[34][35][36][37] Rocket/tailless was detained upon return to the surface,[38] while CG & Co. pursued decades-old intelligence to Toyoda's hometown of Kitami.[39]

Fed up with being sidelined after lord_joakim abandoned him on Arrakis, mythmonster2 swore vendetta against CivFanatics.[40] When his planned bombing of the DYOSers failed to pass, he violently deposed the Apolyton leadership.[41]

Declaring war on Stylesrj and Mjwhear for crappy spam comics, choxorn led a zombie contingent to their location in Japan, quickly overwhelming the mainland before laying siege to Hokkaidō.[42][43][44] Disruption in Toyoda's security company's chain of command during emergency response to Honshū led the acting commander to place the island under brutal martial law.[45][46] Learning Toyoda was out of the country and may not have vetted the measures,[47] CivGeneral seized on discontent within Toyoda's own staff to stage an uprising with support from Stylesrj's crew, ending the crisis and disclosing Toyoda was in Germany.[48][49][50][51] When Stylesrj narrowly escaped zombification, choxorn agreed to work with the Coruscantis to capture him;[52][53][54] Styles responded by being murdered by Dostya.[55] During preparations for departure, the group re-encountered Timmy, MIA since Moscow, who joined the team.[56]

Arriving in Berlin, the party's attempt to track down Toyoda was harassed by Grievous, who abducted him shortly after CG & Co. made contact.[57][58] Combine forces began a full-scale invasion of the city, engaging the Free Western‒Union garrison.[59][60] Having escaped Coruscanti custody, Rocket/tailless arrived, joined by a third personality that pressured them to make amends with the heroes.[61][62]

Fort Schmerzen

While Grievous retreated to interim headquarters to interrogate Toyoda,[62][63][64] the Combine launched a surprise invasion of Coruscant itself, seizing New Port City within seven hours and forcing the government to evacuate.[4] Teaming up with choxorn, Rocket/tailless found a secret shortcut to the bunker during a pub crawl;[65] a subsequent investigation of a Combine front in Berlin revealed the Third Personality to be the Narrator, who extorted them for $600 million.[66][67][68] When the zombie horde reached Germany, chox asked the leaders for money; when they refused, he superlasered them to death and usurped control of the entire army.[69] Before he could leverage his new power, however, he and the zombies were hacked out of existence by a malicious agent's retconning of the DYOS Legacy Collection.[7] tailless and Rocket, now split back into separate entities, were recaptured by the rogue Narrator.[70][71]

After escaping Hell, Stylesrj declared himself presumptive leader of the Avatars moments after mythmonster2 decided to ally with them,[72][73] proceeding to declare war on the Combine.[74] Unable to dissuade him from potential incursion into occupied territory, Chancellor Roster grudgingly agreed to joint operations.[75]

A joint army comprising Coruscanti, FWA and Toyoda's personnel amassed for an assault on Fort Schmerzen.[76][77] Leeroy Jenkins[78] CivGeneral led a vanguard squad into the bunker to free Toyoda;[79] Grievous was bested in a duel with Toyoda, but opted to commit suicide rather than surrender.[75] In the field, forces under Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob SquarePants confronted the Napoleonic remnants' tank army;[80] Oberst von Cruisenburg attempted to take out the officers in a murder-suicide aboard his Ratte superheavy tank, but Our Heroes were rescued by a timely Supermarine Spitfire.[9]

Fallout

Following his rescue, Toyoda hired CivGeneral to recover the Gem, superseding Thorvald's contract by a single euro.[10] The defeat at Schmerzen ended Combine activity in Europe and effectively terminated the LH Coalition, although hardline remnants would later appear on Dune;[81] despite Stylesrj's nominal claim as the new Avatar Supreme Commander, he exhibited no influence and the Avatar Wars were deemed concluded.

The Hokkaidō Uprising, a result of the zombie menace intersecting with the Toyoda manhunt, established his security company as an influential faction, leading to mounting tensions with Coruscant in the sequel thread.
