On 13 December 2022, Withermann would report to 44cckw that all the pumpkinmen living in Wither Town had disappeared. Norbert011 would report that Revert had kidnapped them, and that they were held at the U.R.E. as hostages. Withermann announced a bounty on Revert, saying that he would pay anyone who killed Revert and rescued the captured pumpkinmen. Due to Norbert leaking the whereabouts of the pumpkinmen, Revert decided to hide them somewhere else.

A few days later, on 16 December 2022, Revert would break into and barricade himself inside of a room in Paris Mansion. While Norbert was unable to go into the room, due to Revert locking the door, he could spot that Revert was up to something inside. Revert was heavily suspected of hiding the pumpkinmen inside of the room. Norbert requested backup, and 44cckw arrived at the scene. 44cckw would break up the locked door, and Norbert moved into the room, but found nothing inside. However, the window leading to the room was broken, meaning that Revert and presumably the pumpkinmen had escaped through it. With Revert on the loose, players would lose their only hope of rescuing the pumpkinmen. Revert claimed that he hid 'evidence' at Frozen Town, but this turned out to be a bluff. CalmCreeper360 managed to kill Revert at Frozen Town, setting him temporarily back. The pumpkinmen was not found inside of his inventory.

44cckw, Norbert, raddicted and TriKhazan would be summoned to the U.R.E. on 30 December 2022 to meet with Revert. While touring the U.R.E., fighting would break out between the players, resulting in multiple deaths of Revert and his base being griefed. This was the result of Revert's constant griefs on the server, and the players having had enough of it. Revert would retreat far into the world, thousands of blocks. While the pumpkinmen was nowhere to be found at the U.R.E., TriKhazan would travel all the way out to Revert's temporary base. There, he would discover the kidnapped pumpkinmen inside of a chest.

With the pumpkinmen finally being resuced, they would return to Wither Town shortly afterwards. Withermann would congratulate TriKhazan on finding the pumpkinmen, and promised to raise a statue in his honor.
