Personal Note:

The first time I was introduced to Henry Stickmin were from various gameplays on YouTube back in 2014-2015. Markiplier was a good example at the time, playing through all the different Stickmin games leading up to now. When The Henry Stickmin Collection was released, along with the announcements of Among Us, I found myself playing the game and enjoying the wacky, silly, crazy adventures of Henry Stickmin, along with being stranded in the depths of space with a group of strangers with an imposter among us.

I've stopped playing it since because of how anxious I was in those moments. It was just too much for me. The feeling you get when you know something bad's going to happen; someone on the ship killing off your crew mates and sabotaging everything leaves you to wonder what's going to happen next.

This is such an underrated game series; from flash animations to a fully-fledged storyline with various multiple endings and game culture references, Puffballs United really dedicated himself to the series and characters since 2007. With these regards out of the way, let's begin! --

2012: Breaking the Bank
-

Somewhere in the middle of a dessert was a bank. And with it, was a man who was trying to break into it. This wasn't an ordinary man however. This was a man who was relentless, cunning, and always seemed to be getting into trouble. This man's name was Henry Stickmin. Henry wanted to break in and steal all the loot sealed away within the vault inside, but he didn't know how. At first, he stood outside the brick walls to think about what to do, but then he saw an oncoming armored truck, giving him an idea. Stuffing himself into a disguised money-bag, he was thrown into the vault, successfully sneaking in undetected. However he then accidentally triggered the laser detectors within the vault, setting off the alarms and getting himself arrested shortly after. He's then sent to West Mesa Penitentiary where he serves a sentence of 18 months. Little did he know that this kick-started his adventures that continued to span over a year involving the government, a criminal organization, and various runaways from the law or some other form of trouble that created various different realities: a multiverse. When the Center for Chaos Containment discovered this through time and space, they took immediate action. The CCC specialized in preventing and controlling chaos around the world, but were somewhat ruthless in their ways. In attempts to degfrag the multiverse, an anomaly was discovered: In an alternate universe, a space program launched several astronauts into space in hopes to search for other planets and galaxies beyond the universe.

However, one of the members on board the ship was an imposter; a shape-shifting predatory alien race that mimicked it's prey. Unknown to the rest of the team, they carried on with their chores and daily life onboard the ship.

One by one, things started to fall apart. Sections of the ship were being sabotaged, crew members were found dead, and everyone started becoming suspicious of one another quickly. This lead to people being voted off, thrown out of the ship as a last resort to ensure the safety of everyone else left onboard.

The CCC intervened upon discovery, but correcting the anomaly within the multiverse only altered reality instead of wiping it out, resulting the events of the space program to have unfolded within the same universe. This meant that deep in the vacuum of space, there was either an imposter-riddled spaceship, or a group of stranded survivors finding a way to get back home.

With the defragmentation complete, the multiverse was no more, and the timeline was reset. Not even halfway through his sentence would Henry's adventures begin.

2013: Escaping the Prison
-

Almost a year later, the defragmentation of the multiverse allowed the CCC to intervene by assisting Henry. Going into the future, they sent a special package addressed to him back at West Mesa. Keeping themselves anonymous from prying eyes, they aided Henry in his chance to escape. He had served roughly 10 months in prison, and now he was going to set himself free. Doing so, he escaped undetected, and was back to civilization to live a normal life. That is until sometime later when he was running low on income and was late for his rent.

He kept a low profile after escaping from prison, setting himself up in a rundown apartment complex. It was cheap, but enough to call home. It wasn't until after he saw the news reporting the newest archeological exhibit, showcasing the Tunisian Diamond; worth $112 Million dollars. Intrigued, Henry decides to plot one more heist for the money's worth. He needed it. Upon arriving at the museum, he sneaks in, taking his chances in hopes to walk away with his $112 million dollars. Upon reaching the exhibit, he utilized some of the items showcased at the retro room to his advantage. Using the super mushroom, he busts his way in, setting off CCC alarms and creating havoc at the museum. The CCC pick up the readings and intervene once again; sending out a destructive robot to help handle the situation, only for it to destroy the museum entirely. Seeing how dire the situation had become, Henry abandons the diamond and escapes with his life as the museum is destroyed by the gigantic machine. After catching his breath, the diamond landed right next to him, somehow launched along with the rest of the debris from behind. With his money's worth in hand, Henry safely returns home only to be tracked down by the government 2 months later in attempts to aid them in their mission to take down one of the biggest organized crime rings in history: The Toppats. To help him with his case, they were willing to drop all charges against him if he assists the government with their mission. He agrees, and infiltrates the airship. Storming his way through the aircraft, he confronts the Right Hand Man and defeats him. The injuries sustained from the fight left him severely wounded, in need of military-grade augmentations. Before long Henry successfully managed in capturing the leader of the Toppat Clan: Reginald Copperbottom, and brought him in to custody. The government officially pardoned him for all of his past crimes, and he was now a free man. But this would shortly turn around another month later where he was captured by The Wall: a complex-prison penitentiary known for it's notorious criminals held within it. Dmitri: the Warden, with his right hand man Gregori, capture Henry after learning of the incident at the museum and takes him in. Having being a free man literally taken away from him by an international penitentiary, Henry did what he always does: escape. He and another convict named Ellie Rose wait together before being transferred to separate cells. Ellie, wanted for numerous incidents involving both the government and the toppat clan was also taken in by the penitentiary. He calls Charles to help assist in his escape, to which in under 1 hour did he manage to escape successfully. At the same time Ellie also escapes, almost destroying the wall entirely in the process. She and the few runaways went on to live in the northern regions of Canada where they formed an organization of their own to fight against the wicked and the corrupt called the Escaping Brigades. Henry would resume living life as a free man until one year later. The Toppat's, now with the Right Hand Man as their new leader, planned on launching a space station within the Dogobogo Jungle that would allow them to carry out operations from all over the world without ever being intervened or under watch by the government. With enough time and effort, the Toppats set to work on their next biggest project. Only for all their hard work to be for nothing within a year's time...

2014: Completing the Mission
-

A year later, the Toppat Space Station was ready. After a year's worth of work, everything was ready to launch. Until the government discovered their plans at the last second and intervened, raiding the site. Requiring backup in their raid, Charles recruits Henry for one last mission. Upon arrival in the Dogobogo jungle, he's greeted by his squad that accompany him on his mission and assist in the raid. Their mission: either eliminate or take down the Right Hand Man. After breaking in, they storm the warehouse where Right Hand and his men were held up in. Henry's squad is killed in the process, but gets one last shot against his old nemesis. Standing his ground, Henry defeats him and brings him into custody, where he successfully completes the mission after so long. The toppat clan was successfully taken down, the majority of the organization being in custody while the rest went into hiding. After being pardoned by the government, he then goes on to become a bounty hunter where after several promotions, he'd set on expeditions way over his head. He'd eventually have several run-in's with the Brigades, and even go into space; searching for the long lost survivors of 2012. Since then, Henry was on a league of his own. He was a new man; free from crime and a full-time job he enjoyed. There was no telling what was next in store for the Stickmin in the near future. Thus, concludes the story of Henry Stickmin.
