Animatior vs. Animation III


In Animator vs. Animation III, the document is accessed by the Chosen One after he escapes his imprisonment as a pop-up blocker and breaks out of Internet Explorer. Once noogai3 finds the Chosen One, the latter starts eating the document text before spitting letters at the cursor. noogai3 fights back with the Tab key until the Chosen One burns the text with his laser vision.

Clippit sees the carnage and offers to help noogai3 kill the stick figure. noogai3 accepts just as the Chosen One starts eating the last paragraph of the essay. After ignoring Clippit's threat, the two engage in combat, noogai3 taking part as well. Clippit creates an ASCII-art sword while the Chosen One forges two spears from an arrows icon. noogai3 creates and ASCII-art gun, and he and Clippit corner the Chosen One, who destroys both weapons with his fire breath.

While the Chosen One and Clippit continue fighting, noogai3 creates a second stick figure in Flash called the Dark Lord and tasks it to destroy the Chosen One. The Dark Lord enters the arena just as the Chosen One defeats Clippit and all of the text is destroyed. The Dark Lord launches a seismic stomp which deploys all the bottom menus. The menus become weapons for both sticks until the Chosen One uses the cursor icon to minimize the window, taking the battle outside.
