Synopsis
The animator, looking for a challenge, decides to make the stick figure harder to beat. Little does he know exactly how much power he is giving to the little guy. Long live The Chosen One!
Plot
Nine months after the events of Animator vs. Animation, noogai3 decides to draw another black stick figure in Adobe Flash, making it identical in appearance to victim, albeit drawing it differently. As he clicks on the stick figure and converts it to a symbol in order to animate it, he goes through several ideas on what to name it, starting off again with "victim" but decides he wants a better challenge and changes it to "killer," then "BEAST," before finally deciding on "The Chosen One."
Upon creation, TCO pulls his hands towards his chest and sets himself on fire, burning the select box in the process. He throws the flame from his body towards Alan's mouse cursor, and breaks a scroll bar, jumping up and hitting it against the cursor. The Animator then opens a library containing an arsenal of weapons, and throws an axe at TCO, who catches the weapon and swings it right back at him, destroying a scroll bar. Alan then drags out a shotgun, right clicks it and selects "Aim and Fire," which causes the gun to aim and shoot at TCO without input from the Animator. TCO dodges two shots with ease, before double-jumping, dodging a third and punching the gun, destroying it. The Animator drags out a pistol and rocket launcher, selecting both, right clicking again, and selecting "Aim and Fire." A bullet and rocket are shot at TCO, but he dodges the attacks, before using laser vision to destroy the weapons and some of the Flash interface itself. Some timeline frames start falling on him, which he burns with his fire breath. He then jumps up to part of the library window, which he punches and breaks, allowing him to escape onto the Animator's desktop. The Animator minimizes the window and chases after him.
TCO begins to dig through the Recycle Bin and pulls out three files labelled "junk," "crap" and "crappy junk," but the Animator drags the bin away, returning the files to it. TCO then rips up a text file named "songlist," jumps up and burns through a Word document named "requiredessay," and bounces against the Mozilla Firefox icon to propel himself down to a cabinet file named "data," waking Firefox up. He begins rustling through the drawers and spreading the files everywhere, but the icon is burned by Firefox in an attempt to attack TCO. While attacking Firefox, TCO accidentally hits AIM with fire, waking him up. Firefox launches itself towards TCO, but TCO kicks it in the Recycle Bin. Firefox then blows up the Recycle Bin, releasing two of the files within, the other one evidently being burned, but TCO quickly freezes it. AIM then uses Windows Media Player to launch explosive music notes towards TCO, but the latter grabs one of the notes and launches it towards Windows Media Player, blowing it up. AIM trips and falls into Paint, knocking the brushes out of the cup, and grabs two brushes, while The Chosen One grabs one brush.
The Animator takes the opportunity to quickly login to AIM, his username being shown as "noogai3," but all of his buddies except for programmer021 are offline. He starts talking to programmer021, asking for advice on how to defeat TCO. Meanwhile, AIM and TCO battle on top of noogai3's chat bar, bouncing each other around with the paint brushes. AIM then decides to grab the hammer from Game Maker to kill TCO, but TCO kicks the ball and hits Adobe Photoshop, awakening it. AIM and TCO wrestle for the hammer, but Adobe Photoshop destroys the hammer while trying to attack TCO with a laser. TCO and Adobe Photoshop briefly battle with lasers, but TCO aggressively forces Photoshop's laser back at it, which kills it and causes a massive explosion, scattering icons and documents everywhere. This awakens My Computer, who waits for AIM to finish its fight before attacking.
AIM then grabs the Paint cup and smashes it over The Chosen One's head. programmer021 is about to tell noogai3 what to do to defeat TCO, but TCO grabs the chat window and smashes AIM in the chest with it, killing him instantly and causing the chat window to disappear. noogai3 then right clicks on AIM, and all options are disabled except for Delete and two options for sending him to Heaven or a Graveyard. TCO then summons a lightning bolt to smite Flash, burning it to a crisp.
My Computer, angered, attacks TCO by whacking him with its mouse. TCO tries to use fire breath against it, but it is blocked by the Firewall. TCO tries to kick it, but is blocked by a security shield. While they are fighting, noogai3 decides to start a scan with avast! Antivirus in a final attempt to stop TCO. TCO then rips the mouse out of My Computer, and in a fit of rage it shoots several CDs at him. However, this proves to be its demise, as TCO launches multiple CDs into the computer, causing it to freeze up. noogai3 begins the scan, and TCO knocks over My Computer and heads for the Start Menu.
TCO jumps on the Start button, and swallows the "Help and Support," "Search," and "Run" icons. He then lifts the Turn Off Computer button, but just when he is about to press it with his foot, he is startled by the massive alarm noise made by avast!, who says, "Caution. A virus has been detected." TCO is displayed as a Worm Virus in the description on the avast! window. Avast! then sends a bunch of miniature lightning bolts after him, which he attempts to destroy using his laser vision and by kicking them, but he is pinned down within seconds. TCO attempts to use his fire breath to escape, but that attempt is futile due to him facing the wrong direction, and the Chest from avast! then captures him.
Afterwards, noogai3 is shown to have enslaved TCO, forcing him to be a pop-up blocker. noogai3 logs into a website while TCO burns down repeated pop-ups. Defeated, he sits back and the screen fades to black with "THE END."

- This is to date the only appearance of programmer021.
- This is the last installment with sound effects from Pink Army.
- When Mozilla Firefox destroys the Recycle Bin, "crappy junk" does not come out, possibly implying the file was destroyed in the process.
- Animator vs. Animation 2 received two remakes: a high-definition remaster and a orchestrated remake with music conducted by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
- Animator vs. Animation 2 was posted before Animator vs. Animation 1, but was posted on the same day.
Errors
- The icon of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 is an anachronism; the icon used is that of versions 4.0 through 6.0.
- In the Start Menu in Internet, Mozilla Firefox is there undefeated, but in the Recent Programs, Mozilla Firefox appears frozen.
- Multiple items on the desktop disappear after they fall off-screen.
- When the camera pans to on top of Avast, the icons that The Chosen One ate suddenly reappear.
