Almost five years after The Dark Lord was defeated by the combined efforts of The Chosen One, Noogai and the Stick Gang, the former is shown to be escaping from a group of four mercenaries across the Outernet as they pursue him in advanced, glitch-powered hoverbikes. He attempts to flee from them inside of a city as they shoot glitching blasts at him. The Chosen One boosts up into the air, he then dives between two buildings, all the while trying to dodge their attacks. A blast hits the corner of a skyscraper causing rocks to fall straight toward a stick figure. The Chosen One uses his laser eyes to break the rock in pieces, preventing the stick figure from being hurt. The Chosen One continues to flee from the mercenaries.
Leaving the city, they head into a land with windmills, where Hazard attempts to shoot The Chosen One, only for it to hit a rotor. They move towards a lake and eventually, a waterfall. They go past the waterfall and eventually end up in the area The Showdown takes place. The Chosen One recalls The Second Coming shooting a laser at The Dark Lord. The Chosen One looks up at the sky to see the barrier to ALANSPC to still be open. The Chosen One then stops and shoots fire at the four mercenaries, before Agent goes around him and hits him with a glitch blast. The Chosen One attempts to swim back up, but is hit by Ballista's scooter. The Chosen One begins spinning rapidly, creating a whirlpool, before flying out of the water, creating ice that hits Primal. He then shoots his laser eyes at Agent, before dodging Hazard attempting to ram him with his scooter. The Chosen one then lands on Ballista's scooter, using it to get a boost upwards, with Agent following him. Agent hits The Chosen One with his scooter, but The Chosen One continues upwards, forming storm clouds.
The Chosen One gains electricity powers, and zaps Primal, Ballista, and Hazard's scooters, immobilizing them. Agent, the remaining mercenary shoots The Chosen One, who falls onto Agent's scooter, despite Agent hitting him multiple times. The Chosen One uses his ice powers to form an iceberg, trapping Agent and then using lightning to create an explosion. The Chosen One then flies up towards ALANSPC.
Meanwhile, Alan is on his computer and opens Adobe Animate. Red and Blue appear on screen, challenging each other to a fight only for Green to participate in the fight, and then Yellow and The Second Coming join the fight. Alan observes them fighting and decides to draw a rock to hit The Second Coming with. The Second Coming climbs up a wall on Adobe Animate and reaches the pencil tool, which he slides down with. The Second Coming draws weapons for the Fighting Stick Figures.
After the fight, a portal appears, and The Chosen One emerges from the portal, glitching. He goes towards The Second Coming, attempting to get him to use his powers. The Second Coming seems to not understand what The Chosen One is talking about. The Chosen One tries to teach him how to use his laser powers. Blue stops The Chosen One from trying to teach him.
Failing to teach The Second Coming how to use his powers, The Chosen One takes him to the portal leading into the Outernet, the Fighting Stick Figures jump into the portal after. They leave the computer aflame.
The Chosen One peeks through the broken barrier of ALANSPC, seeing the mercenaries still trying to search for him, The Second Coming looks through the barrier. The Chosen One flies with The Second Coming, while the Fighting Stick Figures are falling, they become noticed by the mercenaries, causing them to chase after The Chosen One. The two land in a forest.
The mercenaries fly down to a field adjacent to the forest, The Chosen One sends The Second Coming.

Ballista become a turret and shoot at The Second Coming, the latter draws a shark, about to eat Ballista, only for it to barrage the shark with punches and punch it into the air. He also slams a hammerhead shark thrown at them into the ground, as the other shark lands on him.
The Second Coming goes towards The Chosen One, only to be stopped by an arrow, the former carries the latter and draws a rhino, acting as a shield. The arrows attack the rhino and Primal grabs a spear out, leaving them distracted. He slams the spear into the rhino, killing it.
The Second Coming draws an actual shield and Hazard knock it out of his hands. The Second Coming draws a blade to attack Hazard with, but he dodges his attacks and kicks him. The Second Coming draws a bird and it prevents Hazard from seeing, triggering him to make a car alarm sound.

Agent slowly walks towards The Second Coming, the latter gets his pencil out as Agent walks towards him.

He dodges his attacks and end up knocking The Second Coming's sword away. Agent uses one of his tools on him and spin him around repeatedly, until he is kicked. He is about to attack Agent again, and Agent uses a pausing tool on The Second Coming, which he takes the drawing tool away from him.

Episode Ten - The Box[]

Following the events of Wanted, the Fighting Stick Figures rush into a forest in search of the mercenaries who abducted The Second Coming and The Chosen One. As they run across the woods, Green recalls the rocket-like logo on the mercenaries' vehicles and quickly etches a copy of it on a piece of paper. The stick figures stop running as they stumble upon a railway, across which they see a town. Green shows his drawing to the rest of the group before handing them copies of it. They hurry across the railway and into the town.
The group walk around the town asking local stick figures about the logo, but are ignored by everyone they encounter. A dejected Red suddenly spots a truck with the mysterious logo on it across the street and quickly tells the rest. They hop in the back as one of victim's Workers gets into the driver's seat, and successfully remained undetected as the truck drove to victim’s organization.
At the organization's headquarters, workers begin experimenting on the pencil icon. One of them places the pencil on a table inside an encased Test Area, inside which another worker is tasked with recreating The Second Coming's drawings, as two other observe and document the process. The worker inside the Test Area draws a circle, but nothing happens. They try drawing more, mimicking The Second Coming's actions in an attempt to recreate the eel he made (seen in a recording of his combat against the mercenaries), but can do nothing more than draw a back-and-forth line in midair. Seeing their efforts fruitless, the observers decide to get The Second Coming himself to use the pencil.
The Second Coming is still locked in his cell when two workers approach him and open the door. They promptly cuff him and lead him out of the room, and as he walks, he gets a glimpse of the Mercenaries and their boss, victim, who are entering the room at the same time. victim and the Mercenaries approach the box where The Chosen One is imprisoned in. Agent steps up to the control panel outside and victim climbs the steps into the box. The door closes behind him, and Agent uses the widgets on his arm to un-pause The Chosen One.
Upon being unpaused, The Chosen One slams into a wall. He realizes he is trapped inside the Box and attempts to escape it, to no avail. Using the control panel outside, Agent reverses The Chosen One's flame back onto him and diminishes his laser vision, essentially diffusing it. The Chosen One turns his head to see victim behind him, who approaches and begins punching him. Unfazed, The Chosen One fights back, but the mercenaries use the Box's control panel to power up victim's limbs, increasing his speed and strength and making it difficult for The Chosen One to retaliate.
The Chosen One stops victim and tries punching back, but victim is turned invisible by the control panel and chokes him. He is turned visible again and tosses The Chosen One aside. The Chosen One shoots streaks of fire at him, which he effortlessly dodges, and the two tussle, with victim overpowering The Chosen One. Nonetheless, The Chosen One refuses to give up, so Agent gets victim a lasso, which he uses to attack The Chosen One by hanging it around his neck. The Chosen One realizes he is outmatched and tries to crawl away, but his predecessor whips him harshly. Backed against the wall, he unexpectedly freezes himself, giving victim pause. victim tries pulling him with the lasso, but the loop restraining The Chosen One does not move as it is also frozen.
At his command, Agent summons four clones of victim and equips them with a hammer, a chain, a sword, and a shuriken respectively, to try to break The Chosen One out of the ice. The hammer clone smashes the encased Chosen One, but is spit fire on by him. The Chosen One breaks out of the ice in an explosion and starts flying around the Box, attacking and destroying the clones. victim manages to capture The Chosen One again and prepares to hit him with the shuriken, but The Chosen One reacts quickly and uses the blade to cut the lasso. He launches a stream of fire at victim, but the mercenaries slow him down with the control panel, allowing victim to walk out of the fire's way.
Elsewhere, the workers take The Second Coming into the Test Area as the worker inside fails to produce animated drawings, to his peer's frustration. The Test Area operator selects The Second Coming, preventing him to escape the area's limits, and moves him right in front of his console. The operator then instructs The Second Coming to use the pencil icon and demonstrate the animated drawings he was seen doing in the recording of the battle with the Mercenaries. The Second Coming obliges and draws an eel to life with the tool, as the observers quickly take notes of the experiment. Upon seeing the eraser tool selected by the operator, the eel panics and slams against the Test Area's force-field walls in an attempt to escape, causing the facility's power to malfunction. The worker is able to kill the eel with the eraser before it causes more damage. They decide to lock The Second Coming back in his cell afterwards.
Back in the Box, victim decides to throw The Chosen One into a chair and interrogate him. The box turns black, two more workers deliver a briefcase to Agent, and victim asks The Chosen One about the whereabouts of Alan Becker, with an image of his cursor, illustrating that he has not moved on from Alan's abuse on victim immediately after his creation back in 2006, but he denies to know where Alan is. A furious victim ties the lasso around the chair and asks him again, still getting no response. Enraged, he kicks The Chosen One, demanding an answer, but The Chosen One denies knowing Becker's location one more time.
victim decides to get a video headset that shows The Chosen One's perspective and memories. He slams it onto The Chosen One's head and uses it to get answers by rewinding back to his history. The Second Coming is brought back while the mercenaries play back through the recording. They lose signal for a moment due to The Chosen One hitting his head on the ground to knock the headset off. victim sits him upright and the signal comes back.
After the signal comes back, the biggest revelation is shown when the video projects the events of The Showdown, showing The Chosen One's perspective of The Second Coming attacking The Dark Lord. victim and the mercenaries are shocked to find out that The Second Coming has hidden dormant powers that awakened to defeat The Dark Lord. victim turns and sees The Second Coming, who is getting shoved into his cage, but he sees the image of himself using his powers. This shocks him, as he never knew that he had secret powers and always assumed that it was The Chosen One who defeated The Dark Lord, not him. The workers then slam steel walls down around The Second Coming's cage as a precaution against The Second Coming's powers. The mercenaries then replay back a bit more, showing a short glimpse of the ViraBots being released, and The Dark Lord attacking The Chosen One and throwing him into the water. victim tells them to go further back until they notice Alan's cursor being created by Yellow in the background at one point.
Upon seeing what the video projected, victim and the organization print wanted posters of Yellow. As victim and the Mercenaries walk through the factory, a worker catches their attention, showing security footage of Yellow and the other stick figures arriving. victim tells Agent to go and deal with the stick figures, and he obeys. The Fighting Stick Figures are quickly surrounded by workers. Yellow, Green, and Blue put their hands up, but Red refuses to go down without a fight.
When two of the workers approach, Red attacks, and Green follows suit, and between the two of them, four workers are dealt with, but then Agent approaches. He attacks them with a baton, making short work of Red and Green first, hitting them in the head (possibly with a force of over 600lbs), knocking them out cold. Yellow tries to fight, but is grabbed by two workers behind him. Blue tries to save Yellow, but is cut off by Agent, who lassos him and slams him against the truck, then hitting him with an around 10px long baton, knocking him out as well. Yellow is pinned down and escorted away by the workers, who all head back with Agent. After seeing Yellow's capture, victim then burns the image of Alan's cursor, symbolizing his desire for revenge on his creator for what he did seventeen years ago.
Episode Eleven - Victim[]

On June 3rd, 2006, victim was first made by Alan. Tormented by his cursor, the stick figure valiantly fights back against his creator through an array of tools but is restrained. He prevents himself from being deleted by blocking the cursor's actions and forms copies of himself to fight back against Alan. Together, victim and his copies nearly corner Alan until he exits the Flash Program he created them with, wiping them out.
The next day, victim is recreated by Alan, who realizes he remembers his actions from yesterday but is trapped in a box and thrown aside. Alan then ties victim up and cuts him, killing the stick figure. On June 5th, victim is resurrected and pelted by balls until Alan crushes him to death. June 6th, he is see-sawed into a beam, and 3 days later, victim is drowned in a fish tank, followed another 3 days later by pushed off a tall staircase. In July, victim is blasted by numerous fireworks. August comes dropped bombs, and September follows with victim being struck by a speeding rocket. October and November see him being struck by a truck and punched, before he is slowly erased from existence during December by Alan.
On a fateful March 15th the next year, victim, now so traumatized that he doesn't even dare to run, awaits his torture, but Alan is called to dinner and leaves his laptop idle with victim trapped in a box. When he returned, Alan finds his laptop desktop destroyed, and victim, having built a rocket out of pieces of Flash and collected an array of supplies and tools, travels away from his laptop and escapes. He travels to an HTTP protocol and makes his way into the Internet. After crashing through Yahoo, bouncing off of RuneScape, travelling through MySpace, and bouncing around in 3D PinBall, the rocket lands in the computer of a person named Grace. Grace has produced a Flash animation titled Mitsi, depicting a test animation of a girl dancing in a field. Grace uploads her file into Newgrounds, forcing victim's rocket back into the protocol.
As numerous other files are sent off to be uploaded to Newgrounds, the animations eventually make their way to the Outernet, where they materialize into their corresponding characters. victim's rocket is also transported and forces its way in, in the process turning itself and victim into a grayer shade. Eventually, the rocket successfully penetrates through, causing a large explosion and several new connections to be formed from the Outernet to several sites and computers, including ALANSPC.
The rocket eventually crash lands into a field, and the girl from the Mitsi file also manifests in the world. Mitsi sees the unconscious victim but startles him when she tries to help. victim is frightened by her white appearance but gradually realizes she means him no harm. They struggle to see through the fog, but soon other white figures walk through. victim initially believes them to be numerous cursors and cowers behind Mitsi in intense fear. The sunlight and a gust blows away the fog, allowing them to see they are surrounded by curious people from a village. Mitsi shakes their hands and ushers victim to follow them.
Arriving at their village, Mitsi and victim are kindly welcomed with flower wreaths by the villagers. victim then sees the damage he has caused to their wind vane and inspects what he can do. Before Mitsi and the amazed villagers, victim recreates a propeller with his tools, and with the help of the villagers, the wind vane is fixed as good as new. Celebrating their achievement and victim's powers, the villagers and Mitsi gather around him from a photo.
Over the next several years, photos depict victim and Mitsi's story as they live and work together to help the village thrive, as well as their blossoming love for each other. Occasionally, victim has flashbacks of the torturous cursor who created him but he is able to push aside his fears and move on. On Mitsi's suggestion, the two start a repair store, and through their efforts they are able to found his company, with his fateful rocket now as his logo. The company rapidly grows into a large technological enterprise, Rocket Corps, famed for its success and advancements in technology. It is also at this time that Mitsi and victim would also meet Agent, then a police officer apprehending a criminal. They begin a tight friendship with him as their own love deepens.
In 2011, four years after founding the company, the staff, Mitsi, Agent, and victim put together a party to celebrate their success. As everyone takes to the dance floor, Mitsi and victim hold each other in a swirling dance, only for her to suddenly vanish. victim can only hold her party hat in anxious worry as more people too begin to disappear as well around him, causing everyone to run away in confusion and fear; Agent attempts to protect his friend in the chaos but vanishes as well, his Newgrounds file destroyed by something.
Mitsi appears in the world of Newgrounds and witnesses tremendous devastation around her, all while numerous animations manifest onto the world and run away in fear as well. As she notices tanks and soldiers firing onto something in the air, Agent's file falls nearby and he appears beside her. Agent is supported by Mitsi as she takes him to nearby support, but she turns back to rescue other animations from beneath debris. As she tries to run back to Agent, an explosion rocks the area around them.
Regaining consciousness, Mitsi finds herself trapped beneath heavy debris. Agent tries desperately to reach her but is cut off by a powerful explosion, killing Mitsi. In the flaming aftermath, Agent witnesses the perpetrators of their world's destruction, a black and a red stick figure. The Dark Lord proudly watches the world of Newgrounds in flames and high-fives his companion, The Chosen One. As the two begin to target the survivors, Agent sees several animations jumping into a portal and follows suit, re-entering the Outernet.
The injured Agent makes it back to victim's business headquarters, where a fellow stick figure helps him to the company's Memory Machine. victim watches the memories of the survivors to determine what has happened. He sees his friend and anxiously asks for Mitsi's whereabouts, only to be answered by a sad nod from Agent. victim inserts his friend into the machine, where they watch his memories of his nightmarish experience in Newgrounds. They eventually find his memories of Mitsi's last moments, causing Agent to sob.
victim watches Mitsi die in the explosion and sees her killer, The Chosen One, as he hovers above where she last laid. In 2018, as victim sits by himself in a darkened room, it is entered by Agent and a company employee. Despite his initial refusal, the two reveal to victim a sighting from a bystander of The Chosen One and Alan's cursor as they fight back against The Dark Lord. victim orders the room lights turned on, revealing newspapers, drawings, and clippings of the company he so hardly worked for with Mitsi, reports of The Chosen One, and finally, an illustration of the stick figure and his creator. victim draws a line between them and connects the two as the sources of his anger, grief, and trauma.
