As it could probably be seen, Krinkels may not have had the whole idea in his head about the involved plot that exists now back when he started. BUT, if we can incorperate the previous toons into the present, we could probably figure out where Krinkels is headed.
Hank started out as an element of chaos in a generally orderly world, which was run by the Sheriff, and enforced by Jesus. When Hank went after the boombox, this was just a minor disturbance until things got pretty heavy. People were getting beat up, shot, stabbed, and even blown up over this matter. Jesus comes in to restore order, but eventually falls to Hank's gun. Hank is happy with his boombox, the last guy gets shot (and for all we know, he returns as tricky), and chaos seeps into that orderly world forever.
Between here and Redeemer there's that bit of Step 2: ??? space. The reason Hank goes after the sheriff is still unclear. To me, this is just a hunch at this point, but I just came to believe that the Higher Powers saw Hank's actions as a justificaton to employ him as a minion. Madness Combat 9 could easily disprove this thought once it releases, but it's something to go by. This is where the definition of "Redeemer" comes in:
Redeemer: "One charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs."
By taking out the Sheriff, Hank could have believed that what he was doing was justified and good. This is also a play on words on of course, Jesus. Thus, we start the battle between order and chaos. Hank goes in, almost gets the kill, but Jesus stops him with a bullet. Lesson learned? Not even close.
"...avenging his wrongs."
Avenge: "To take vengeance or exact satisfaction for..."
"He was given a second chance..."
Now, the Higher Powers brings him back to get another shot at the Sheriff. This time, he succeeds with extra win. Whether the higher powers intended for the Sheriff to implement the Improbability Drive or not is still a mystery to me, but it looks as though by killing the leader and the enforcer, the world would slowly convert to something dark. The Improbability Drive speeds this process up 38492384 fold, apparently.
Apotheosis: Rise to a godly level.
This could mean several things, depending on who's perspective you're looking at. From the Higher Powers view, Nevada is being tossed around in an inverted clothes washer full of dirty socks and cats. This is good news, considering his power is rising. Jesus comes back through some means and takes the Sheriff's position, so it could go that way. Tricky is also back, but all he's doing is divulging in the madness. The animation takes off with Hank coming back, probably to take out Jesus (I'm aware that the wiki says Tricky, but that's not certain either). My reasoning behind this is just due to the fact that Hank is running around the building without much direction, and when he finds himself facing Tricky, it's not a big deal. But when Jesus shows up, he quickly attacks him with everything he has, ultimately willing to blow himself up like a hitman from some movie that Krinkels likes. Mission accomplished.
Jesus comes back again. Hank comes back as well. The cycle continues, but nothing is really going anywhere. This just becomes a repetitive struggle between order and insanity. All that has to stop. The Higher Powers engage the clown to end the war.
Depredation: A predatory attack; ravage.
After Tricky is engaged, it's pretty easy to say that the word for that situation is "ravaged". Despite Sanford and Deimos' assistance, it only let Hank last about 10 more seconds than he would without a weapon. Player 2 is eliminated, and any opposition to the Higher Powers is gone. But there's one problem...
Post: Part two. (Don't hate for the double post, I couldn't fit it all into one.
This guy likes to see his killer suffer. Hank is revived by Tricky this time to grant death "en masse" to the agents of Nevada. Of course by this time, Hank doesn't feel like going through all this, but tries his best to reverse the crazy world that he's responsible for. Because of this, he sort of takes on Jesus' role as an advocate of order and a redeemer. He goes after Tricky and the Improbability Drive, but is stopped by... tape. He nearly gets killed after reaching Tricky, then IS killed by Tricky, revived, and sent through the same mission. Hank's relentless fighting leads him to a vulnerable clown (and a hot dog guy lawl), and he puts an end to him. The Improbability Drive sees this as a no-no, since of course.. you do not kill clown.
What's Jesus doing raking leaves anyway?
Chances are, he's paying penance for his rage, and has his powers taken away. Looks like he spent some time in Hell as well. It's a lesson learned for good ol' buddy Christ though, since he's turning over a new leaf and becoming the happy-go-lucky instrument of armaggedon! :D But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Tricky is making Hank suffer, and after reviving him once more, Hank isn't having it. He runs.
Consternation: FEAR.
The world is still dividing itself by 0, as Hank runs into many things which make less and less sense. One such example is the Mag Agent. But he's not concentrating on that. He's not concentrating on anything other than getting away from Tricky. This shows through his bullet wounds taken from l33t agents. The only thing Hank manages to do before seeing Jesus is damage Tricky's P.I.D. Jesus sees his chance and grants Hank his wish, then puts a quick end to Tricky forever. The Higher Powers isn't liking the Redeemer's return.
Inundation: Overwhelm.
The Savior is pulling out all the stops. It's gotta end somehow and he's the guy to do it. Best thing to do is to go after chaos itself, right? It's a shame that Chaos controls the universe through his computer, so how can the protagonist face such an overwhelming enemy? Jesus fights his way through the compounds, gets infected, a lot of people die, and then they run into each other. Jesus can't even land a hit. Then a bazooka gets involved. Those are harder to block than bullets. Fortunately, The Auditor's computer gets asploded with a shot and normalization begins. Jesus' purpose is complete.
Where does this all go from here? Sometime between "Goodnight, Hank" and "And then there were none", Sanford and Deimos crawled out from below the Flying Party and got a new ride. It looks like to them, the original condoner of chaos is the only one who can stop the madness. It doesn't look like they're capable of taking on the Auditor themselves, despite their fancy work with hooks and G36s. The Auditor is only getting stronger, and this needs to end... now.
I could see this going in a direction where Hank and the Auditor face off in one last struggle. A boombox should be involved.
Or... I could just be reading too much into a flash series by a guy who likes action-y violence and Hank gets raped by Dad. That would be a cool ending.
dude. that was so long and took me 15 minutes to read. but yes i read every single little word. but when you said that sanford and deimos come out of the flying party between Good night hank and then there were none. but i don't know if you've seen the preveiw, but it shows that jesus' face is melted off and chest, etc. so it must have been after the explosion. because before the preveiw, everyone was saying that madness 9 was going on the same time as 8.
The reason behind the timeframe between "goodnight, Hank" and "And then there were none..." is actually from the screeny where one of them is looking at the explosion. Of course, they may have come back before Hank died, but I just figured it was some time after the end of 7 and the middle of 8.
However, the preview could just be showing what's going on halfway through the animation after Jesus dies. Imagine it like this:
The animation starts with Sanford and Deimos doing their thing; going after Hank and whatnot.
The explosion happens, and it's used as a segway into a different scene. Close-up on the Auditor morphing out of the wreckage, taking the halo, and being a bad ass.
And by the way it all makes sense, but..I think Krinkels just thought of this as he went. Just randomly making up stuff and making it violent and funny. Thats what I think, unfortuantly.

Probably about 10 minutes. I actually typed up something similar when I first joined this place, but it all got erased because it was too long. Life can be a besh. >.>
I agree with ya though. That's how it goes with most flash series. It's just an interesting way to look at the animations while you're watching them. It gives everything a sense of purpose in a world of violence.
