The Statue Apocalypse - Chapter 1: The Search

This story is chaotic. Please do not question anything if you expect me to answer you.

Backstory

Back in February, I posted the chapters to a story called "The Ball Apocalypse". I was trying to write Gaga Ball stereotypes for a blog, but I accidentally created a story about a rogue ball that tries to take over the world. @M777_killer said I should turn it into an actual story.

Well, I've decided to write a sequel series called "The Statue Apocalypse". @M777_killer requested that I post the first chapter today because it's his birthday, so happy birthday!

By now, it had been many, many years since the balls were first discovered. But everyone had been so distracted with the balls that they had lost track of what year it was. But that was the least of their concern.

You see, each country had their own statue to commemorate the ball apocalypse. America's statue was located in New York. One day, when people came to visit the statue, it was gone. Knowing the previous events, they reported it to the police immediately.

The police decided this was getting serious. They reported it to the president, who ordered the military to search for the statue.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, when people looked across the ocean at the Statue of Liberty, they realized it too was gone.

The military showed up a few minutes later, instructing people to stay away from both places where the statues were missing. They searched both areas, finding a trail of metal parts leading away from the sites, eventually joining with each other at the border with Mexico.

Well, once the statues had crossed the border, they met a group of drunk Mexicans. The group thought the statues were being used by the American government to start a war.

So, instead of calling the military, the Mexicans charged at the statues. They tried to beat up the statues, but the statues just stood there, unharmed.

The Mexicans tried stabbing the statues with telephone poles, but it didn't work. They threw rocks, grass, cars, books, knives, balls, and towels at them, but nothing worked. So the Mexicans decided to team up with the statues.

They found out that the statues can shrink, so the statues shrunk down and the Mexicans smuggled them into their city.

Meanwhile, the Americans were still looking for the statues. Some people thought SCPs were real, but other SCP enthusiasts explained that the balls were from aliens and that SCP is just a large group of writers creating the pages. The others didn't believe them and accused them of being SCPs.

They split up and continued searching. The group that thought SCPs were real theorized that the statues move like 173, while others in the group decided against it. Some thought they worked like 106.

The other group decided the statues were from aliens or are aliens and that the balls could be back. They eventually found the trail the statues had left, and followed it.

The SCP group also found the trail and followed it. The two groups caught up to each other and tried to kill each other, but the military showed up and they all called a truce.

They all followed the trail down to the border. Unfortunately, one of the drunk Mexicans had been left behind, and he told the Americans where the statues were.
