There is an abandoned and crumbling sanatorium tucked away in the Apple Chain mountains. Its exact location doesn’t matter.
What matters is that the sickest, cruelest humans lived out their final years in almost total isolation, getting what they deserved.
—
The year is 2027. Over a year has passed since the public learned the true depths of the disgusting acts performed by the so-called “elite.” The billionaires and politicians who monopolized the markets, spread misinformation, and manipulated the elections. And the corruption extended beyond just the United Fates – it was global. Entire nations festering in rot, where innocent populations were suffering under uncaring dictatorships that were framed as democracies. Where citizens cast votes into the void, as if they had any real choice.
In late February of 2026, the entirety of the Heffley Poopstain files were released unredacted. The photos and videos were grotesque. Every rumor, every accusation was true.
Plumericans rioted. Ronald Dump was evicted from office and corrupt officials were arrested.
Armed forces from across the world came together to capture each and every perpetrator. Heffley Poopstain was found alive and captured, too. Within a week, each and every child trafficker, rapist, murderer, and cannibal listed in the files was taken into custody. Advanced genetic testing enabled absolute surety in the accurate identification of each criminal. They were placed in a high-tech facility beneath the Icelantic Ocean, only accessible by submarines.
The building's structure was made of marine-grade concrete, fiberglass reinforced plastic, and titanium. Its exterior was covered in special coatings meant to withstand the constant exposure to extreme pressure, salt, and water. It was difficult to reach, difficult to leave, and secure.
-
The facility was originally built in case of a nuclear fallout to hold the world’s leaders and top performers from every industry. The list of potential people was updated monthly. The plan was to have at least two experts per industry - just the necessities for rebuilding society.
After the only assholes who would start a nuclear war were locked up, there was no need for the facility. It could be used as "safe storage."
Since the rooms were small and already equipped with drains and water spigots, they were easy to retrofit for prisoners.
-
The Pedophile Trials were set to take place during the summer of 2026. Each nation sent a judge and translator to weigh in on the decision making. By this point, there were no impartial citizens left to join the jury, so it would be decided by majority vote from the judges.
-
To reduce the chance of escape or replacement with body doubles, the only humans in the underwater facility were the perpetrators. Each person had their own room, and no contact with other inmates was allowed. Each cell had live video feeds that volleyed through underwater satellites to multiple locations across the world, where they were monitored.
Each cell had a cot, a toilet, and a slot in the wall where food was delivered twice a day. There were no showers, but on a weekly basis, there was a powerful water jet that sprayed from the ceiling, rinsing off the inmates then draining into floor grates. Water was precious, and it was treated and recycled back into the system, along with their waste.
-
On the outer edges of the facility, there were pressure panels that functioned like fish scales. When currents and pressure changed, they shifted, creating energy that got stored inside the facility. Similar to wind turbines, they converted the movement into electricity.
This energy powered the oxygen systems, cameras, satellites, and the rovers. Rovers were all terrain vehicles that had arms and legs, wheels, or both. Just like there were rovers sent to different planets, there were multi-purpose rovers in the facility. One was in charge of putting food on the conveyor belts, which delivered meals to the inmates. One was in charge of connecting the new oxygen supply when it was running low. One was in charge of collecting the monthly sustenance deliveries to store food.
Each month, a remotely-piloted submarine dropped-off crates of food and giant oxygen tanks. Video surveillance and a locked system ensured that nobody was going in or out of the facility.
The plan was to provide the basic necessities to sustain life, while the world decided what to do with the perpetrators.
-
It took a couple months to stabilize the globe, with the political upheavals and systemic restructuring. Finally, in November 2026, the judges were ready…
But just as the Pedophile Trials were set to begin, there was an accident.
Underwater engineers said that it must’ve been a miscalculation in the energy converter… too much power was stored up, causing an explosion that blew open a chunk of the facility. Almost instantaneously, everything inside was crushed under the immense water pressure.
-
At least, that’s what 99.99% of the world’s population thought. But one person knew better. They had worked tirelessly, copying and misdirecting the surveillance streams, capturing and removing perpetrators one by one, until no real humans were left in the facility.
-
The year is 2025. One of the Poopstain victims fell in love with an entomologist by the name of Dr. Madds Cyan Tista.
The victim had been sexually abused by Heffley Poopstain and Ronald Dump. While they had gone through extensive therapy, including many sessions of EMDR, they still awoke with occasional nightmares. When the Poopstain files were released exposing names and pictures of victims while hiding the names of the perpetrators, Dr. Tista watched their lover's heart shatter into millions of pieces. And they helped build them back up, day by day. But they made a promise, to themself and to every victim who was impacted by this situation.
Dr. Tista would make sure Poopstain and Dump paid for the trauma they caused. And not just those two - ALL of the monsters who trafficked and raped children would pay for their sins.
When they learned of the plan for the Pedophile Trials, Dr. Tista concocted their own plan. Those degenerates deserved something worse than death.
Sure, the underwater facility was great and secure… but that would only last so long. Once the Pedophile Trials took place, each perpetrator would be incarcerated in their country of origin, leaving too many risks… Some would escape, either by getting replaced with body doubles, or through death... And that just wouldn’t stand.
Dr. Tista sought revenge in the only way they knew how… delivering justice through natural means. As a very wealthy entomologist and plant enthusiast, they were VERY well off and had many connections who were happy to donate materials to quickly build a nature conservatory in the United Fates. After all, the people needed something positive to look forward to.
-
Starting in March 2026, Dr. Tista began restoring the isolation chambers in an old, defunct sanatorium hidden deep in the Apple Chain mountains. They told their dearest love, along with all their donors, that they were building a nature conservatory.
That wasn't entirely a lie. The doctor DID build a nature conservatory – focused on keeping very specific plants and animals alive and thriving.
-
Dr. Tista rented a prototype airplane, one that was fueled by water and created zero waste. And yes, they had their pilot's license.
They flew down to Peru to collect thousands of Bullet Ants. Next, they flew to Australia to collect hundreds of Gympie-Gympie plants.
Back in the Apple Chain mountains, the doctor set up the ants in a secure habitat and very carefully, they planted the Gympie-Gympies.
It was then time for the next step.
-
Using their friend's undetectable submarine built for stealth underwater research, Dr. Tista went down near the underwater facility. They spent about a week recording the underwater satellite transmissions, building a signal scrambler, and hacking one of the satellites so it was able to send out the recordings without raising any alarms.
Using the recordings and signal scrambler, the doctor was able to sneak into the underwater facility and kidnap pedophiles, three at a time.
-
It took a lot of time, and a LOT of white lies to their dearest love, but by November 2026, all perpetrators had been secured into their soundproofed isolation cells in the abandoned sanatorium.
For the final step, Dr. Tista tinkered with the exterior pressure collectors on the facility, ensuring that an accident would occur. The world would be none the wiser to the disappearance of the pedophiles.
-
Back in the Apple Chain mountains, each perpetrator was chained to the floor in their individual room with a wooden box over their head. They were fed intravenously, with a special liquid made from local plants and bugs. It was designed to give just enough nutrition to keep the pedophiles alive and alert, to experience everything to the fullest.
Luckily enough, the sanatorium had plenty of leftover sterile needles and IV fluid bags. And, the nutritional supplement was made with easy to access invasive plants and bugs that lived on the mountain. The IV bags were mounted outside the chambers, so Dr. Tista could easily replace them when they got low or emptied.
Like the cells in the underwater facility, each room had a water spray in the ceiling and a drain in the floor. Cleanliness was important, so that nobody got sick and died before they had suffered fully for their actions. It was JUSTICE, after all. They couldn’t die until they had suffered as much as their victims.
-
The rooms were wet, cold, and smelt strongly of metal.
While it is possible that the pedophiles spoke, cried, screamed… Dr. Tista wouldn’t know. They wouldn’t be heard through the soundproofed walls.
-
After one week, the real fun began.
Every other day, Dr. Tista would toss couple of Bullet Ants into each room. Before releasing them, they would make sure to really rile them up. After about an hour, the doctor would lure them back out with a plate of dirt sprayed with ant pheromones, then return them to their colony.
When disturbed, ants were known to bite. Despite their small mouths, they could still draw blood. And their bite was one of the most painful experiences in the world.
A bite from a Bullet Ant caused intense pain that lasted up to a full day. One person described the experience, saying it was "like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail embedded in your heel.”
And the pedophiles got to feel this pain. Every. Other. Day.
Once a month, on a non-ant day, the doctor would briefly tickle an exposed limb with a part of the Gympie-Gympie plant. Even the slightest touch of this stinging nettle would embed the fine plant hairs into ones skin. Intense effects lasted from weeks to months, with potential to cause pain flare ups for years after exposure.
Upon contact with the Gympie-Gympie, the pedophiles would feel severe burning and stinging at the site. Within half an hour, the pain would surge into something unbearable. Crushing pressure, burning, and the feeling of electrical shocks. While the plant would not cause death, it would make people wish to die to escape the pain.
And just when the pain would start to fade, water or temperature changes would cause the pain to spike again, because it triggered toxin release from the plant hairs.
Over the years, the doctor made sure to switch up the plants and bugs, to ensure that the pedophiles did not become numb or expectant of the sensations.
-
Dr. Tista slept very peacefully next to their beloved, knowing that the pedophile billionaires and politicians were constantly suffering.
And this lasted for 10 years.
Some of the perpetrators passed from old age. But many still lived, experiencing justice.
Then one day, in 2036, Dr. Tista woke up and knew it was time.
They pressed a detonator that set off bombs built into the entirety of the refurbished sanatorium. Within five minutes after detonation, all perpetrators were gone, along with the evidence. There was nothing but some smoking rubble left standing.
The victims spirits could finally rest easy, knowing that they were properly avenged.
And the world kept spinning.
-
Directly after the capture of all the complicit pedophiles, world peace was achieved. There wouldn’t be a nuclear war ever again. In March 2026, the Peace Alliance of Earth was formed. Horrified by how fucked the world had gotten, all nation’s vowed to ensure peace and equality across borders and beliefs.
Once world hunger was eradicated, and everyone’s needs were provided for, wars ended naturally. All countries and nations were happy to cooperate. A golden age bloomed, where art, music, architecture, and humanity were thriving. The coral reefs were no longer endangered, climate change was being slowly but surely reversed, and gun violence and suicide deaths dropped to zero. Life was good.
