This is a compilation of all the fan content that I've made, revising several parts for consistency and clarity.
Series 1 - The Second Coming vs. H4CK3R and the Dark Lord[]
Part 1[]
Rocket Corp
The Second Coming had been reaching deep within himself for about half an hour. And now, he has struck gold! He had finally found his power.
What was that shockwave, anyway?
Unbeknownst to him, victim has become H4CK3R, and The Chosen One has become No One.
He saw Yellow captured and feared for his life, as well as the fate of his other friends.
We always stick together, so where are the others?
Outside TSC's cell
The grey clone workers of Rocket Corp were going about their business.
KABOOM
No one knew what was happening.
When the smoke cleared, it revealed a brief shade of orange and a hollow head.
Before a single worker could interfere, a massive shockwave blew everyone off their feet, and a huge hole appeared in the building's roof.
The Second Coming had escaped.
Part 2[]
ALANSPC
The Dark Lord flinched slightly at the sound. He recognized the energy that he heard, but he wasn't sure that it was what he thought it was...nevertheless, he was scared.
H4CK3R remembered seeing the memory...and it was terrifying. A "normal" stick figure, whose only power was his pencil tool, turned into a literal GOD???
Dark Lord: We have to investigate. This is the only thing stopping us from bringing Mitsi back.
They flew out of the broken husk of a computer...
The Outernet
The Second Coming desperately flew towards the location of "The Showdown". It was the only portal to ALANSPC that he knew of.
But what he didn't know was that his closest ally was gone.
Orange and Purple's House
Purple was busy telling Orange about the Color Gang's retelling of "The Showdown".
"So, The Chosen One literally pushed The Dark Lord into the Internet and fought him fiercely there, using everything he could to his advantage, including his past weapons from YouTube!-
The door burst open. When Orange went to answer it, he found a wet, dirty, exhausted hollow-head stick figure outside.
It was No One.
The Outernet
Just as The Second Coming made it to the location of The Showdown, a burst of black goo hit him and trapped him in some sort of goo cage.
The Dark Lord dove down from the sky, laughing at his new catch.
The Dark Lord: Well, if it isn't the "god" who supposedly killed me!
The Second Coming was horrified at the fact that his nemesis and the killer of his friends was still alive. Anger surged through him, more than it had ever done so before. Before Alan had used Windows Task Manager to kill his friends, before he and Red had gotten into a huge fight in the Minecraft desert, even more than when he saw Yellow captured.
He released his energy in a huge explosion that knocked The Dark Lord back into one of his abandoned doors into the Internet.
The Dark Lord fainted from horror.
The Second Coming floated toward him, ready to kill him a second time, a third time, as many times as he had to in order to protect his friends and the Outernet...
Then H4CK3R arrived.
Just as The Second Coming was about to land the finishing blow on The Dark Lord, a massive hammer smashed him on the head and caused him to fall into the water.
H4CK3R created thousands upon thousands of his weapons and loosed them all upon The Second Coming underwater.
Just as they were about to hit him, he created a massive shield that reflected them all back at H4CK3R.
The Second Coming: You might have gotten The Chosen One that easily, but you will NEVER beat me as long as I live!
H4CK3R: Didn't you hear? He's No One now.
The Second Coming flew out of the water and punched him in the head as hard as he could, then using every single power he had witnessed The Chosen One use in one massive energy beam. He was rattled at the idea of losing his strongest ally, but he kept up his assault.
Fire, ice, lightning, lasers, and a MASSIVE tornado all blasted into H4CK3R.
The Second Coming pursued, throwing H4CK3R into a wall SO hard that he left an indentation several feet deep.
Before he could finish H4CK3R off, he responded with his whip, cracking The Second Coming across the chest and throwing him away. Then he went on the attack, throwing as many of Agent's "pause" spheres at The Second Coming as he could.
The Second Coming nimbly dodged as many of the spheres as he could, but one eventually trapped him. H4CK3R generated his foil and was ready to impale and kill The Second Coming when he suddenly released another massive explosion, destroying the pausing sphere.
The Second Coming: I've survived being inside a black hole! Do you really think you could stop me with that?!
H4CK3R: Oh, I've got a LOT more where that came from.
H4CK3R sent out a massive barrage of every single weapon he could think of.
The Second Coming struggled to keep his shield up. It cracked, it chipped...then it shattered. He thought, Is this how The Chosen One felt when he was being battered by that giant ViraBot?
Just when all seemed lost, something absolutely shocking happened.
A massive amount of energy appeared in The Second Coming's hand...and it took the shape of his sword from "Wanted".
He looked down at his hands in shock, the same way that King Orange had looked at his staff during their massive battle.
And just like King Orange, he immediately used it, flying outwards and creating a massive swarm of the animals that he had drawn during "Wanted", causing them all to dogpile on H4CK3R. He then punched clean through, throwing H4CK3R into another cliffside, then blasting him with his lasers.
Just as H4CK3R was about to be defeated, The Second Coming was brutally punched in the face...but not from H4CK3R.
The Second Coming: Oh...no...
The Dark Lord was awake.
Part 3[]
The Outernet
The Second Coming stared at both of his adversaries in shock. He didn't know who to fight first.
H4CK3R, who could code in anything he wanted at will...
Or The Dark Lord, who was responsible for the death of his friends and could also manipulate energy on a smaller scale?
He didn't have to decide.
H4CK3R lunged towards him, whirling a lasso. The Second Coming easily dodged, creating a pair of missiles that fired at H4CK3R, blasting him back. The Dark Lord then generated a massive fireball and threw it at The Second Coming. H4CK3R redoubled his attack after the gigantic explosion that ensued, lassoing The Second Coming around his neck, then throwing him HARD into the water.
H4CK3R: I stand disappointed.
The Dark Lord: Be careful, he would NEVER go down that easily. I tried.
They stood prepared for whatever attack he would throw at them next, but they were not prepared for what he actually threw at them...
THE ENTIRE SEABED!!!
The Second Coming levitated the enormous slab of ground and trapped them both against a wall.
The Second Coming: You can't trust The Dark Lord! He wants to take over both the Outernet AND the Internet!
H4CK3R: I'd sooner trust the devil himself than someone who's affiliated with my creator!
The Dark Lord created a ViraBlade out of his energy manipulation and destroyed the massive slab of rock trapping him. A split second later, he grabbed The Second Coming and flew incredibly far...all the way into the city.
Orange and Purple's House
The entire house shook from the massive explosion that shook the whole city from the battle. For a brief moment, all three residents of the house could see The Second Coming get thrown back, create a modified version of Agent's glitch bombs, blast The Dark Lord, and fly back into the fray.
Purple and Orange were both shocked.
Orange: You never told me that your friend had SUPERPOWERS!
Purple: I didn't know, either!
No One: The last time he did this, it was under very specific circumstances. He was beaten within an inch of his life, and...
Purple: What?
No One: Everyone in the Color Gang was dead.
Purple and Orange: WHAT?!
Part 4[]
Rocket Corp. Facility
Red, Blue, and Green converged on the Box, finding Yellow trapped inside. They freed him and got out.
Red: Where's The Second Coming?
Yellow: There's a massive hole in the ceiling. Do you think that when The Chosen One visited us and told us that ridiculous story about our friend being a literal GOD...
Green: NO. No way. I refuse to believe it.
Blue: Yeah, The Chosen One probably busted him out...
Orange and Purple's House
Purple: What happened?
No One: He was slashed up all over with The Dark Lord's ViraBlades. I don't know how, but a split second later, all the ViraBots that were about to enter the portals to the Internet just...all split in half. Just 2 seconds later, there was no more Dark Lord.
Outside, H4CK3R tried to lasso The Second Coming, but he flew clean through the loop, before generating a shuriken and cutting the lasso's loop off, before The Dark Lord stomped on him from above, then trapped him in spiked goo, which The Second Coming then exploded through.
The Dark Lord: He's too strong! I'm calling backup.
Next thing The Second Coming knew, he was covered in ViraBots.
He immediately tried to explode through them, but they created a force field around him, trapping him.
The Dark Lord: Well, I guess this is goodbye. I'M SOOOO SAD...
BZZZZZT
The Second Coming suddenly destroyed all the ViraBots with an EMP that he had generated. He flew at the Dark Lord...
H4CK3R grabbed him by the legs and threw him straight into Orange and Purple's house.
The Second Coming: Oh, hey, Purple! How's it going? Now, you have to get out of here. It's not safe!
He generated Agent's pause tools and started throwing them at The Dark Lord, then at H4CK3R.
The Dark Lord's ViraBots took the hits, while also disintegrating more of the weapons. The Second Coming flew out of the house, while generating a hammer SO massive that when he swung it, The Dark Lord was knocked through THREE buildings and then out of the city, back to the cliffside where "The Showdown" had taken place.
The Second Coming picked up H4CK3R and started flying through the city, pushing H4CK3R's head against the ground so hard that he left drag marks. H4CK3R retaliated by pushing The Second Coming off of him and THROWING him through a building.
Despite everything that had happened to H4CK3R, he was still a good person at heart, and immediately started telling all the civilians to evacuate.
H4CK3R: Everyone, get out of here! It's not safe until this situation is resolved.
Corn Dog Guy: But I'm still selling-
H4CK3R: NOW!
Meanwhile, The Second Coming was doing the same thing on the other side of the city.
The Second Coming: It's not safe here! Everyone, OUT!
The Corn Dog Guy had just moved places so that he could sell more corndogs.
Corn Dog Guy: But I'm still selling-
The Second Coming: OUT!!!!
He slammed down a massive cube around the street so that there would be no collateral damage between his and H4CK3R's attacks.
The Second Coming and H4CK3R started walking around one another in a circle.
The Second Coming: I saw what you did out there. If that's the kind of person you are, why are you affiliating with the devil who destroyed Newgrounds?!
H4CK3R: I should say the same for you.
The Outernet [Location of the Showdown]
Agent started thinking about what he had seen in Yellow's memories.
He saw that somehow, Yellow had been brought back from the dead.
And he was sure that only The Second Coming would have been able to do that.
He knew that H4CK3R was blinded by revenge and wouldn't listen to him, and the only way to help him recover was to bring MItsi back.
So he went back to the Rocket Corp. headquarters.
Rocket Corp. HQ
The Color Gang ran out of the building, looking for any sign of their friends. When they saw movement, they were relieved...only to find out that it was Agent.
Agent: Where is your friend?
Red: Why should I tell you?!
Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked the ground and caused all of them to fall down.
Yellow: I think we just found out...
Outernet City
The Second Coming threw several shurikens at H4CK3R, who immediately destroyed all of them with his glitch-bomb fire, then started shooting at The Second Coming. He flew straight up, then activated his laser, smashing H4CK3R along the ground.
The Second Coming: Why are you doing this?!
H4CK3R: Your "friend" destroyed Newgrounds! He killed my wife! You'll pay for this!
The Second Coming immediately stopped his attack at this.
The Second Coming: What do you mean?
H4CK3R: We need to talk.
Part 5[]
Rocket Corp. HQ
Agent told them everything that had happened after The Second Coming entered the Outernet.
Red: You actually have a plan to calm H4CK3R down???
Agent: Yes, but the first thing we have to do to get there is to find two things:
- We need a computer. The Second Coming needs something to channel his power through.
- We also need The Second Coming himself.
The Outernet (location of The Showdown)
The Dark Lord was sure that The Second Coming would undo all of his hard work to take over the Outernet once again, so he decided to forsake his alliance with H4CK3R and do everything himself completely. He flew to his small house, where he had built the ViraBots and his ViraBand...and began to COMMENCE PLAN Z.
He brought out his upgraded ViraBots. They were still prototypes, but were significantly more powerful than the original - each one had a power level on par with his at his current form! They also had a deadly ability that would guarantee his success if worst came to worst...
Outernet City
After The Second Coming told H4CK3R the story of his powers, it caused a feeling that he hadn't felt in years.
Hope.
H4CK3R: You mean you could bring her back??
The Second Coming: Yes. Find me a computer and we'll go to Newgrounds.
H4CK3R: You mean it's THAT easy???
Suddenly, a nearby building disappeared.
The Dark Lord started floating toward them, with his three prototype ViraBots crawling along the walls behind them.
The Dark Lord: Miss me?
He punched clean through the energy cube that protected the city from their battle.
H4CK3R: What are you doing?! You'll hurt the civilians!
The Dark Lord: I. DON'T. CARE. THEY. DESERVE. TO. DIE.
Even though H4CK3R had already started to rethink his affiliation with The Dark Lord, this sealed it.
H4CK3R: THAT'S IT!
He flew towards The Dark Lord, intending to rip him apart...
The three SuperViraBots immediately subdued him with their spikes, and when they were done, H4CK3R looked like a porcupine.
The Dark Lord floated towards H4CK3R, laughing.
The Dark Lord: I stand disappointed. You call yourself a hacker? You couldn't hack your way out of a paper bag! You're just a failure.
Unbeknownst to everyone, No One had been watching the whole time.
The Dark Lord: I guess this is goodbye. I'M SO SAD...
He released a massive energy beam towards H4CK3R...
Then, No One ran up and took the shot for him.
The Second Coming: CHOSEN!!!
No One: victim...I hope...I hope this will make things right.
He collapsed then and there and didn't get up.
[END]
Part 6[]
Rocket Corp. HQ
Agent and the Color Gang walked out of the building holding a massive console with immeasurable power.
Agent: This computer should be strong enough to reach the code left behind from the animations killed at Newgrounds. Everyone, get on the hoverbike!
The Outernet City
The Second Coming stared down at the dead body in shock. One of his closest friends was dead. Fury coursed through him as he wrenched an entire building (that he knew was empty) out of the ground and threw it straight at The Dark Lord at hypersonic speed.
One of the SuperViraBots jumped in the way and took the hit, and was destroyed instantly.
H4CK3R started firing at the other two SuperViraBots with his glitch-bomb fire, while The Second Coming started brutally beating The Dark Lord with a massive sword.
The Dark Lord generated his own sword, and the two spent a long time dueling before The Dark Lord got impatient and disarmed The Second Coming with an energy blast, knocking him back into a nearby building.
H4CK3R picked up a SuperViraBot and threw it into the other SuperViraBot, and before they could separate, he generated a massive bomb and exploded it on top of both of the ViraBots. The ViraBots subdued, he went to assist The Second Coming.
The Second Coming started brutally punching The Dark Lord from all sides, just like he had in "The Showdown". He was mostly unfazed until H4CK3R lassoed him from behind and then wrangled him just like he had Alan's cursor. He left The Dark Lord vulnerable...just in time for The Second Coming's laser to find its home.
A brutal beam of light blasted into The Dark Lord and created another massive explosion on the same hill where he had been destroyed the first time.
The Second Coming threw the two SuperViraBots there as well, all defeated.
To make sure they didn't get out, The Second Coming slammed a massive energy cube around them all to make sure that he couldn't escape.
H4CK3R: Now it's time for you to fulfill YOUR end of the bargain!
The Second Coming: I would have anyway.
Location of "The Showdown"
When H4CK3R and The Second Coming arrived at the site, Agent, the Color Gang, and his ultrapowerful console were all there. The Second Coming and his friends all embraced in a tight hug.
Red: I can't believe that it was true! The Chosen One wasn't actually crazy when he told us that...
Agent: Will you do it already?
The Second Coming reached towards the console, as it emitted a bright light from its screen...
Everyone had to look away as the console literally exploded from the effort.
When it was done, there was another, faint figure near them.
H4CK3R: M-M-Mitsi?
Mitsi: VICTIM!!!
They also embraced in a tight hug.
Mitsi: Why do you have that...visor thing on your eye? And why are you glowing?
H4CK3R: I got someone to rename me to a higher power level. It's a long story. A lot of stuff has happened since Newgrounds. This is The Second Coming. He's the one who brought you back.
The Second Coming: It's a pleasure to meet you. Well, H4CK3R, we'd better be going home now. It's been a pleasure.
The Second Coming gave H4CK3R a good, hard slap on the back before generating a hoverbike for everyone to get on.
Red: Bye!
ALANSPC
Alan stared in shock as the power cord slowly started to levitate its way back into the outlet. His computer rebooted to Windows XP, then started reverting as a familiar face started towards him.
Alan: Second Coming??? And all of you? Where were you??? And what's that green energy doing around your body???
[typed in Adobe Animate]
The Second Coming: It's a long...stor...y...[fainting]
[END]
[JUST KIDDING]
Epilogue
The Dark Lord woke up in a gasp. His SuperViraBots had woken up and put him back together...again.
The Dark Lord: What is this energy cube doing around me? ViraBots, destroy it!
They couldn't. The Dark Lord seethed in anger...then he realized that he could move it from inside. He punched it several times until it smashed into his hut, where he could access his console, as he forced a hand past the wall of energy with all his remaining strength...and typed in one last command.

AvA - The Dark Surge[]
Part 1[]
4 years after the events of TSC vs. H4CK3R and TDL...
ALANSPC
Green could hear faint crying from where The Second Coming slept.
He walked in, seeing his old friend in his awoken form, holding a black body that he recognized immediately.
Green: What's wrong?
The Second Coming: I thought that once I got a handle on my power, I could bring The Chosen One back. I can't. He's gone. Forever.
Suddenly, an alarm started blaring.
VIRABOT ALERT VIRABOT ALERT VIRABOT ALERT
The Second Coming: Oh no.
Outernet City
H4CK3R desperately sent a distress signal to ALANSPC, hoping that The Second Coming would pick it up.
Mitsi: If it's just a ViraBot, couldn't you deal with it yourself?
H4CK3R: Yes...But it's not just a ViraBot. The signal's significantly more corrupted than even the SuperViraBots I fought four years ago!
Agent: Oh...no...
ALANSPC
The Second Coming punched a hole in the Wi-Fi logo, opening a portal to the Outernet. He activated the emergency comlink that he'd use to talk to H4CK3R in a situation like this.
The Second Coming: What's going on?
H4CK3R: [over comlink] I've pinged some unidentified object on radar, and it appears to be even stronger than the SuperViraBots we fought four years ago!
The Second Coming: I'm on my way.
The Second Coming accelerated from slowly floating to flying at top speed and arrived at the crime scene virtually at the same time as H4CK3R.
Outernet City
It was incredibly easy to find the source of the chaos - just running in the opposite direction of where the civilians were going. (Corn Dog Guy excluded, of course.)
It wasn't long before they found the cause of the problem - a MASSIVE ViraBot, even bigger and stronger than the SuperViraBots - it was a new, prototype MegaViraBot!
H4CK3R: But he's dead! How did he create this?!
The Second Coming: I guess some sort of emergency plan. But that's not our concern - we have to destroy this thing. NOW.
The MegaViraBot noticed them and started throwing spikes, but for some reason, they weren't being thrown at them.
H4CK3R was momentarily confused, but immediately started glitch-bomb firing at the MegaViraBot, shattering it instantly.
The Second Coming: How was this supposed to be a challenge?
Shockingly, a horrifyingly familiar voice rang through the air.
The Dark Lord: It wasn't.
The spikes that the MegaViraBot shot out morphed into the shape of something that both of the stickmen hoped they would never see again...
THE DARK LORD.
It wasn't really him, just a facsimile of him, but it was still shocking. Shocking enough for The Dark Lord to immediately take the upper hand by throwing spikes into both of the others. He then deployed a ViraBlade and got ready to stab H4CK3R...Then, The Second Coming released a massive explosion, deployed a massive sword, and started brutalizing the false version of The Dark Lord all over, until all the spikes disintegrated.
H4CK3R: What...was that?
The Second Coming: This is bad. Real bad. This means...
Suddenly, Agent swooped in on his hoverbike, holding a tablet.
Agent showed the tablet to the two and turned it on, showing several images of what looked like a broken, destroyed version of the hut that The Dark Lord had operated from during The Showdown. But as he zoomed in, it started flickering...then it disappeared. And he finally stated the five dreaded words that they hoped would never come...
The Dark Lord is alive.
[END]
Brief Interlude - Part 1.5[]
Location of The Showdown
The Dark Lord didn't have enough power to activate Plan Z yet. He needed more power to reach the full Internet and call the one animation that he knew would take over the Outernet for him. But he needed a stronger console than the one that he owned...
ViraTV MEMORY
The Dark Lord watched as The Second Coming used the console to bring Mitsi back.
The Dark Lord: Hm...
He quickly devised a plan to use his MiniViraBots to steal the console, thereby gaining access to the rest of the Internet and scanning for his target.
The Dark Lord: And once he's here, the entire Outernet will be doomed!
His evil laughs began to crescendo.
Part 2[]
The Dark Lord created an animated plan on his console to outline what he would do to steal Rocket Corp's strongest computer.
- SuperViraBots deploy MiniViraBots to hide in vents to find the console
- MiniViraBots memorize guard patrol patterns, corroding guards as necessary, but NOTHING more
- ViraBots, disguised as cameras looking at this room, feed a loop into the legitimate cameras looking at this room, so they are never seen
- MiniViraBots merge back into SuperViraBots so they can easily lift and steal the console
- SuperViraBots sneak back out after creating a ViraHologram of the console to lower suspicion, then end the loop to prevent possible investigation
COMPUTER STOLEN
The Dark Lord had been busy in the four years that he had been presumed dead, so he had lots of ViraBots of different types. Besides his original two SuperViraBots, he also had several MegaViraBots, scores of MiniViraBots, ViraTanks, ViraJets, dozens of more SuperViraBots, and virtually everything else he would need.
He rubbed his hands in anticipation.
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R was furiously pacing in his office. He rendered a punching bag, which he destroyed in about two seconds.
The Second Coming: What's wrong?
H4CK3R: We're going to have an inevitable battle between us and The Dark Lord eventually...again. It's only a matter of time before it happens! I can't rest, no matter what happens.
Agent ran into the room with his mercenaries.
Agent: We've found another ViraBot sighting in the Outernet city!
H4CK3R: I'm sorry, I can't be there. We must defend the base at all costs. Send the mercenaries instead.
Agent saluted, then left the room.
Commence Step 1
Three SuperViraBots scuttled up to the vent, then all released dozens of MiniViraBots into the vent.
They all hid inside the vent when they saw several figures sent out - the mercenaries.
The Dark Lord was watching from his own computer, exasperated at this information, as he had sent the false ViraBot sighting along with a MiniViraBot to force H4CK3R and The Second Coming to leave. Of course, they were too smart for that, but it had been worth a try, just to be safe...
Commence Step 2
The ViraBots converged on the vent directly above the console.
Of course, because it was so powerful, it had a LOT of guards. But, luckily for the ViraBots, most of the guards were actually Grey stick figures and had virtually no fighting capability whatsoever.
Three MiniViraBots went into camera mode and started scuttling to the roof.
The rest waited for The Dark Lord's signal to feed a loop into the other cameras and make it safe for the VIraBots to steal the computer.
Commence Step 3
The Dark Lord: The loop is active. We're ready to steal the computer.
H4CK3R's Office
The Second Coming suddenly felt something...suspicious.
Very suspicious.
H4CK3R: What's wrong?
The Second Coming: I'm not s-
VIRABOTS ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR SUPERCOMPUTER
H4CK3R: Where?! Show me the way.
Location of The Showdown
The Dark Lord had hacked into the Rocket Corp. camera situated directly outside H4CK3R's office and the one located in his office.
He was horrified when he saw H4CK3R and The Second Coming suddenly fly out of the door towards the computer room at top speed.
He immediately sent a distress message to his ViraBots.
The Dark Lord: The Second Coming and H4CK3R know of your presence! Speed this up! You have several choices if necessary.
- Go loud
- Steal ONLY the power source, not the entire computer [RECOMMENDED CHOICE]
- Remotely commence Plan Z from here
Meanwhile, H4CK3R desperately sent an SOS to Agent and his mercenaries.
H4CK3R: Your ViraBot sighting was designed to lure you away from the base! Get back here immediately!
Agent and the mercenaries immediately turned around and started to return home.
But it was too late.
Commence Step 4 (with a little tweak)
Instead of merging into the SuperViraBots to steal the computer, the MiniViraBots instead sliced out the unbelievably powerful battery that they used—quickly scuttled out of the room, just as The Second Coming and H4CK3R entered it.
H4CK3R was just an instant too slow to stop them, and he screamed in primal rage.
H4CK3R: We have no idea what The Dark Lord has planned for us, and I'm legitimately terrified to find out.
Location of The Showdown
The Dark Lord was SO exhilarated by the information that his operation had been completed with only a minor speedbump, and he immediately powered up his own computer before initiating a scan to find the location of his greatest hope...and the guaranteed death of the rest of the Outernet.
It was only a matter of time...
to be continued...
Part 3[]
PROGRAMMER021SPC
Just like Alan had all those years ago...
Programmer021's cursor went to the brush tool, as he drew a dark red stick figure whose natural color was a dark red color that was SO dark that it made the Wristband of Power look bright. When he converted it to a symbol, he had even more trouble creating a name for it than Alan had making The Chosen One, as he wanted a BIGGER challenge.
victim? Too easy.
Killer? Nope.
BEAST??? A sentient stickman would be better.
The Dark Lord??? Evil, but not evil enough.
The Chosen One????? Not even evil.
And, eventually, he typed in the four cursed words that would eventually lead to the potential destruction of both the Outernet and the Internet.
The God of Chaos
He had some serious hesitation about doing this, as he knew what potential consequences could be. But he knew exactly how to restrain him, exactly how to stop him...how could this possibly go wrong?
His cursor moved towards the "Save" button, mentally debating whether he should let this abomination into creation.
But eventually, he decided that his curiosity was too great, and he had to do it. Even if curiosity killed the cat.
He may as well have just pressed the big red button to launch all the world's nukes.
Programmer021 didn't even have a split second to react before a massive explosion plagued his computer and bluescreened it.
And at the same time, The God of Chaos had escaped his computer and started his own internet rampage, just as The Chosen One and The Dark Lord had done all those years ago, but even deadlier, for two reasons - the Internet was still recovering from The Chosen One and The Dark Lord's rampage, so no one attributed the attacks to this new character and all assumed that they had returned.
But even worse, the attack caused significantly more casualties as he was far stronger than they were, even combined.
The Internet was doomed.
Present Day
The Dark Lord sat at his console, rubbing his hands in anticipation. He had finally found the IP address of the computer where The God of Chaos had been hiding all these years, before then teleporting him here. It was slow, but it was working! Slowly, a dark red energy that was even darker than his Wristband of Power had begun to appear. It may have been slow, but it was finally happening! His conquest of the Outernet was upon him!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But little did he know that he had just stepped into a significantly more dangerous realm than he realized.
There was no future ally behind that teleportation device.
It was merely the end of the Outernet as he knew it.
And in a split second, The Dark Lord went from shuddering with anticipation to shuddering with fear, as he was instantly pinned by The God of Chaos and brutally punched all over, leaving a chilling reminder for The Dark Lord.
You are NOTHING. And if you ever cross me again, you won't have a head attached to your body any longer.
The Dark Lord shuddered with fear. Although he hated it with every single pixel in his programming, he knew it was the only remaining option to save the Outernet, so that he could conquer it instead of the abomination he had loosed upon them.
He had to forge a truce with The Second Coming.
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R buried his face in his arms, with Mitsi trying to comfort him.
Mitsi: It's not your fault - it's only our tendency to want to blame ourselves.
They were suddenly interrupted by a loud squawking from the radar room.
Agent ran in as fast as he could, having needed to tell them something incredibly important.
Agent: It's urgent!
Everyone ran into the tracking room, finding not a single working computer - because all of them were overloaded with static and sparking with energy, ready to explode at the slightest touch. One grey worker tried to touch a computer, and it detonated, destroying itself.
The Second Coming: What's going on?
Agent: I have no idea. The radar was heavily corrupted, but I was able to get one piece of information onto my tablet before it all broke down.
He produced a tablet, and it zoomed into the location of The Showdown. A massive point appeared on the tablet, which zoomed into a dark red stickman that none of them had ever seen before, but was quickly analyzed by H4CK3R.
H4CK3R: [reading from tablet]
The God of Chaos.
Power Level - [ERROR]
Powers - complete and total power over code, complete and total power over the elements, teleportation, flight, corrosion powers similar to ViraBots, energy manipulation, [ERROR]
Type: Movie Clip
Recommended Course of Action: [ERROR] There is no existing animation strong enough to defeat this force of nature, not even The Second Coming.
Everyone stared at the analysis in horror.
The Second Coming: Yeah, we're doomed. Totally and completely doomed.
Ballista: Does anyone have any ideas?
Hazard: Where's The Chosen One?
The Second Coming: He's dead. I can't bring him back, either.
Everyone fell silent for a moment to pay respects.
They were all shocked when a random grey worker offered them an idea.
Maybe we can't bring him back...but what about creating a new one?
ALANSPC
The Color Gang was fighting. Again. It never ended.
Alan was so engrossed in fighting them that he almost didn't notice the "Help!" message appear on his computer.
But he didn't trust it, not after what happened last time.
But he did trust that there were no more adversaries to fight as far as they were concerned, so he decided to open it up. But this time, it didn't send him to the location of The Showdown...it sent him to Rocket Corp. HQ, where he had never been before. H4CK3R frantically generated a textbox for The Second Coming to tell Alan the idea.
The Second Coming frantically explained the situation before then writing out his idea - create a new animation to counter the God of Chaos.
My suggested name is "The God of Light". You have to hurry! It's only a matter of time before he arrives here.
H4CK3R frantically flew outside the building to start rendering defenses to slow down the approaching chaos.
Alan, meanwhile, went to Adobe Animate to complete his own mission.
But when he started drawing a pure white stick figure that he would name "The God of Light", he hit a snag in the road.
An error message that said, "This animation already exists. You are denied access to creating a new one."
When he relayed the information to the group, they all panicked. Everyone was racking their brains to try and find information - save for the workers, who were running around panicking and running into overloaded computers and exploding them.
H4CK3R: He clearly means that there's only room for one god in the Outernet, and we're on our own.
But then, a horribly familiar voice rang out in the hallway.
No, you're not.
It was The Dark Lord.
to be continued...
Part 4[]
Rocket Corp. HQ
The group stared uneasily at The Dark Lord.
H4CK3R: What do you want? Haven't you ruined my life enough already?!
The Dark Lord: You got it wrong, buddy. I'm here to propose a truce.
Agent: Yeah, and Corn Dog Guy doesn't like to make money. Tell someone who cares!
The Dark Lord: You need me to defeat The God of Chaos, or at least to marginally increase your odds of beating him. I know things about him that none of you do - I was able to get a scan on PROGRAMMER021SPC and find out everything about this monster.
The Second Coming: Pah! What's stopping you from killing us right now?! You think that just by hiding them, you can hide me from the fact that you brought literally every single ViraBot you have???
The Dark Lord: Because if The God of Chaos takes over the Outernet, then I end up being a literal nobody, just like everyone else. And that is the last thing I want. No one takes over the Outernet but ME!
Agent: So as long as it's mutually beneficial...
A random worker ran in from outside, with a warning.
Sorry to burst your bubble, the God of Chaos is close to reaching us!
The Second Coming covered his face in exasperation.
The Second Coming: Fine. Truce. Now, what do you have to tell us?!
The Dark Lord produced a tablet and displayed a vast amount of information.
The God of Chaos
Created shortly after the Disintegration, this force of nature bluescreened his creator's computer in a split second and secretly followed The Chosen One and The Dark Lord in an Internet rampage, exacerbating the chaos that they had caused exponentially.
His only possible weakness is that he's a little [CENSORED] - if anyone on his power level appears, he will immediately cease his attack.
My personal hypothesis is that The Second Coming has another level to his power.
The only way to activate this power is [CORRUPTED, DATA LOST]
The Second Coming stared in shock at the last piece of information displayed on the tablet.
The Second Coming: You mean...
Hazard straight-up ran away at this information.
Mitsi fainted.
The Second Coming could even see a few ViraBots running away in the distance.
The Dark Lord: How should I get this power out of you? Should I...murder your friends again???
H4CK3R punched him in the face.
sticksfight.com, ALANSPC
They were fighting again, as it was their primary way of venting.
Green: Should we check on The Second Coming and see what he's doing?
Yellow: Isn't the answer obvious?
A split second later, everyone was falling through the portal to the Outernet...again.
Rocket Corp. HQ
An explosion knocked everyone to the ground.
The Second Coming: He's here!
H4CK3R remotely activated his defenses.
Outside, bullets, lasers, missiles, and everything else imaginable smashed into The God of Chaos. He barely even noticed, and with a snap of his (nonexistent) fingers, they were all gone.
Hazard, Primal, and Ballista all stepped outside and launched a brutal attack of all their strongest weapons - Hazard's nukes, Primal's beast mode, Ballista's weapons - but it all did absolutely nothing. The God of Chaos punched the ground, creating a massive seismic wave that knocked them all off the ground.
Agent joined them, with a 96px staff and his gun.
He started brutally beating The God of Chaos with no effect, even when the mercenaries joined him.
The Second Coming: It's our turn now!
The Second Coming started blasting The God of Chaos with his laser, which was the only thing so far that could harm him. It did, pushing him back several yards, while The Dark Lord generated a massive sword and started slashing him up, and H4CK3R generated a massive hammer and smashed him on the head. Despite all this, the God of Chaos barely felt anything and generated an enormous explosion that blew everyone back.
The God of Chaos: You will never defeat me! If this is all your pathetic Outernet can muster as a defense, consider me d-
He could sense the immense power inside The Second Coming, which he had not yet activated. He stepped back in fear.
Consider this your only warning - allow me to take over the Outernet, or you will be eradicated as slowly and painfully as possible!
And just like that, he was gone.
H4CK3R: There's no way that what The Dark Lord said about you was true...
The Second Coming: Yeah, we're definitely doomed.
[LOCATION REDACTED]
Heh heh heh. Little do they know that we have the PERFECT plan to destroy them all!
They looked back at their massive group of power boosters.
We'll plug them all into The God of Chaos, and he won't be able to contain his power any longer! It'll create an explosion so massive that the ENTIRE INTERNET, OUTERNET INCLUDED, will be destroyed!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[To be continued...]
Part 5[]
[UNDISCLOSED LOCATION]
They created an animated model of their plan.
[UNKNOWN]: We'll overload The God of Chaos with a massive amount of energy boosters that we'll tell him will make him even stronger! And it'll create a huge explosion that will obliterate the entire Internet, including the Outernet!
Once the rubble clears, I will come out and instantaneously repair everything! The world will hail me...AS A GOD.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
He stepped into the light and was revealed to have the most shocking identity possible...
HE LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE SECOND COMING.
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R was pacing furiously. Again. He punched a massive hole in the wall.
Mitsi: What's wrong?
H4CK3R: I'm still thinking about that guy's warning. We might have a lot of combined power, but it still pales in comparison to what he has! We're completely doomed.
Mitsi: You didn't give up when Alan tortured you, and you can't give up now either.
H4CK3R: You know what? You're right. So what's the game plan?
Agent: Our only chance is to find out why that last piece of information was corrupted on The Dark Lord's tablet.
The Dark Lord walked up and told them.
The Dark Lord: You want to know why it was corrupted? That's because I retrieved the information from PROGRAMMER021SPC, which was bluescreened and destroyed the same way that The Chosen One and I destroyed ALANSPC!
The Second Coming: So our only chance to find this information is to get me to the computer and restore it. No time to waste, let's move!
Half a second later, he was gone, teleported to PROGRAMMER021SPC...wherever it was.
PROGRAMMER021SPC
The Second Coming sent a rapid and efficient scan through the dead piece of scrap that had once been a computer. He quickly retrieved the information and returned.
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R was punching holes in his wall again. By the time The Second Coming had returned, the wall looked a little too much like Swiss cheese!
The Second Coming: Good grief, what did you do?
H4CK3R: This is the data that will give us the key to defeating The God of Chaos! Of course I'm nervous!
The Second Coming: Okay, so the way to defeat The God of Chaos is to...uh...it's very complicated. You might want everyone to sit down for this.
Five Minutes Later...
The Second Coming: Okay, so I found out that there's no more hidden power within me - just an emergency area hidden within the Outernet that has them.
Programmer021 found out about the Outernet back in 2008, shortly after victim's rocket entered the Outernet and created links to everywhere. He had already been testing out his own skills (which were exponentially higher than Alan's) against lots and lots of stick figures, many of which had powers. One day, after victim's rocket entered the Outernet, a stray explosive blew his Wi-Fi logo open and revealed the portal to the Outernet, which he entered and found an amazing world of animations.
He created an emergency stockpile of green life particles that, if activated, would give them all to the recipient and give them extraordinary powers. He tested it out, sending a small stockpile of his life particles to ALANSPC, thereby bringing The Second Coming's animation to life and giving him hidden but extraordinary powers. But The God of Chaos destroyed his computer, and he lost all the secret codes necessary to actually activate the stockpile. It now hides in an undisclosed location in the Outernet, guarded by another stick figure who was also given powers by these green life particles.
Legend states that he has gone mad with power, so attempted retrieval of this power is strongly discouraged.
H4CK3R: Ugh...as if one superpowered godlike stick figure wasn't enough...
The Second Coming: I'M RIGHT HERE.
Everyone shared a well-needed laugh before going back to business.
The Dark Lord: I should be able to find out where this stockpile is with my computer.
Agent: Then what are we waiting for?
Everyone was almost immediately gone, with the mercenaries left behind to guard the base.
Location of "The Showdown"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Agent walked inside to find The Dark Lord slapping his keyboard in anger.
Agent: What happened?
The Dark Lord: The last location search used up too much power - my computer is fried!
H4CK3R covered his face in exasperation.
The Second Coming: Let me try.
He walked in, using his electrokinesis to activate the computer.
Okay...search states...that it's...HERE.
He tapped a point on the map that was about 100 miles due west of the Outernet City.
H4CK3R: Hold on. We have to be careful - we don't know how much of this life energy this broken twin of The Second Coming has consumed, so we need to get reinforcements if necessary.
At that moment, four familiar stick figures climbed to the top of the cliff.
Red: Did someone say...reinforcements???
The Second Coming: You have to stop following me - you could die!
Green: If you could literally revive us at will, what's the point of dying? We've been your friends for eleven years, and we're not going to stop it now. Either we come with you, or you don't go at all.
The Second Coming was touched.
C'mon, you big sap, hug your friend!
They tightly embraced before H4CK3R cleared his throat.
H4CK3R: Sorry to be a third wheel here, but we do need to get more reinforcements than this. SC, join hands with me.
Together, they created a massive beacon in the sky that said, "WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS FOR A LARGE BATTLE. PLEASE JOIN. THERE IS NO RISK OF (PERMANENT) DEATH".
Many of the citizens of the city were confused and also scared, so not very many people joined.
Of the ones who did, they were mostly the failed combatants from the Mercenary Tryouts. But the Stick Gang was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of old friends among their ranks.
Green: Orange? Purple? It's so great to see you!
Red: Not to be rude, but what makes you think you can help? Yellow has the staff now...
Orange: I have about five thousand of them - it's an emergency precaution if something really bad happens.
The Second Coming: Okay, but you can't use anything from Minecraft - The God of Chaos would be able to destroy it in a heartbeat!
The Second Coming generated a massive ball of pure energy, split it in two, and shrunk both down to the size that both staffs could hold them. He also replicated the staff for his friends.
The Second Coming: Okay, NOW you're ready.
Literally Everyone who Signed Up: WHO'S THE GOD OF CHAOS???
The Second Coming: It's very complicated.
One Lengthy Explanation Later
H4CK3R: Now, who actually wants to join?
YoYo: I'm in.
GildedGuy: Same here.
AOL Instant Messenger: Are you affiliated with The Chosen One?
H4CK3R: ABSOLUTELY NOT.
AOL Instant Messenger: Then I'm in.
Pretty much everyone else was gone.
The Dark Lord: Okay, NOW we're ready.
Undisclosed Location, 100 Miles Due West of Outernet City
The group converged on the large stockpile of green life particles.
So...my long-lost brother came to claim the "treasure". Good luck! You'll need it...
A strangely familiar face floated out of the darkness...he looked almost exactly like The Second Coming - but corrupted, evil.
The Dark Lord: Is this the "guardian" you told us about?
The Second Coming would never admit it, but he was actually shaking.
[UNKNOWN]: You can call me...Broken Mirror.
He released a massive energy wave that blew everyone else away.
Broken Mirror: You think you can beat me?! I will rip you into pieces myself!
The Second Coming: If you die, I'm taking you down with me!
They charged at each other, and the battle began.
[To be continued...]
Part 6[]
Undisclosed Location, 100 Miles Due West of the Outernet City
The Second Coming and Broken Mirror rapidly exchanged punches, each blow evenly matched, fully stalemated, not a single advantage over the other.
The Second Coming vaulted off the wall and delivered a brutal punch to Broken Mirror's face, before generating a massive minigun and strafing Broken Mirror, which he immediately EMP'd, shattering the gun, before turning it into a shuriken, which he then threw at The Second Coming. They locked fists, which Broken Mirror broke through by kicking The Second Coming in the chest, before throwing him back into the cave full of green-life particles.
The Second Coming used his energy manipulation power in a way he'd never done before...CLONING himself. Together, they all created a massive energy beam that blew Broken Mirror back.
Broken Mirror couldn't even hold on and was blown several miles away, where he was knocked out.
The Second Coming rapidly ran up to his group of friends and started telling them what had to be done.
The Second Coming: You all have about half a minute before my evil twin returns. We have to get these life energy particles back to Rocket Corp. HQ before it's too late! Agent, I'm leaving the job to you.
The Color Gang was truly awed at the massive tanks of green life energy floating inside them, in various forms. In their pure form, like the ones floating around The Second Coming, in crystalline form, rotating and floating inside liquidated forms of the energy, and corrupted forms that were speckled with black. H4CK3R used an eraser tool to decorrupt them.
Agent saluted, hooked up all the life energy particles to his hoverbike, taking a quick second to nervously look at the fuel meter spiking, and transferred them all into his fuel tank before leaving.
The Dark Lord: There's something incredibly important that I have to tell you. I didn't tell you earlier because I thought that the subject of that information was you.
When I freed The God of Chaos, I did exactly that - freed him. In other words, someone managed to imprison him before, and that means that it can be done again.
What I'm guessing is that there is a REAL God of Light somewhere out there, and we have to find them.
H4CK3R: I'm on it!
He flew into the IP barrier with The Dark Lord, ready to go on their own little adventure.
And just in time - Broken Mirror was back.
Uncharted Location
The Dark Lord walked up to what looked like an empty cage. He tried punching the cage several thousand times, and it did absolutely nothing.
H4CK3R: Yup, that's the one.
He scanned for any sort of deviation from what usually appeared around really old materials, which took a while, but he eventually found something - very slight drops in the dust value of the floor. He rapidly constructed a trail that led to something very, very unexpected...
H4CK3R: I found one of programmer021's old computers - but we can't reach it. It's airgapped.
The Dark Lord covered his face in exasperation.
The Dark Lord: You mean that we can't reach it at all?
H4CK3R: There MIGHT be a way...[sending message to PROGRAMMER021SPC]
PROGRAMMER021SPC
He was monitoring the events of the Outernet. He would send some of his sticks to help, but none of them were strong enough. All of the ones who had gone had been captured by Broken Mirror.
He was, unsurprisingly, shocked when he saw a distress message from someone whom he recognized immediately from his network of Outernet cameras - H4CK3R.
<Hello, Programmer021. I require access to one of your airgapped computers, which presumably contains The God of Light. Both The God of Chaos and Broken Mirror are on the loose, so we need your assistance to defeat them before the situation gets too severe. Yours faithfully, victim/H4CK3R
Programmer021 was (understandably) horrified at the fact that his deadliest creations were on the loose.
I UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION, SO I'M NOT STOPPING TO MAKE ANY SMALL TALK
I'M CONNECTING THE AIRGAP TO WI-FI NOW
GOD OF LIGHT WILL NOT ASSIST YOU WITHOUT MY SECRET PASSWORD - @grIEENl1f3.141592653589979323846264Par2+-1c12.718s
H4CK3R desperately transcribed the message onto his generated textbox before the message disappeared - a quick scan showed that it had a 30-second decay limit before it disappeared for security.
The Dark Lord: So what's the plan?
They didn't have to decide, as a massive, transparent tube suddenly appeared out of the darkness. They didn't bother to hesitate for even half a split second before jumping in.
100 Miles Due West of Outernet City
The Second Coming and his friends were still brutally fighting Broken Mirror. Unfortunately, Broken Mirror had consumed...a fair amount...of the Green Life Particles in his time preparing to destroy the Internet, so he was significantly stronger than the entire group combined.
The Second Coming merged an RPG and a sword so that he had an explosive-blade launcher, before starting to blast Broken Mirror.
GildedGuy and YoYo started brutalizing Broken Mirror from above, while Orange and the Color Gang activated the white voids in their pure-energy staffs. AIM took up a pair of paintbrushes and started beating Broken Mirror from below.
But after the massive onslaught, Broken Mirror was unfazed, and released a massive explosion that blew everyone back. He then started to take down everyone one-by-one.
AOL went first, as Broken Mirror generated a pair of javelins that easily disarmed him with incredibly precise throws.
GildedGuy went next, as Broken Mirror telekinetically stole his Stella Pen and used it to draw a massive hammer, which he then used to smash GildedGuy's sword out of his hand.
He threw them both into pre-prepared cages, which both started to move downwards towards the prison room.
He grabbed YoYo by the end of his yoyo and prepared to pull him in, only to get hit by an explosion and a brutal combo. But it was nothing to him, and he whirled him around like a pair of nunchuks before throwing him into a third cage.
The Stick Gang hit him with white voids all at once. He was seriously wounded by the blast, but generated a sword and destroyed everyone one-by-one.
Red went first, with a blow so powerful that it knocked the staff out of his hands. He found himself inside a cage, but it wasn't moving to the prison room yet.
And soon, it became apparent why. One by one, the rest of the Stick Gang was tossed in there with him.
Broken Mirror generated a reflective shield to block the white voids. It wasn't fully effective, so only one white void was perfectly reflected into a Stick Gang member...
Green was thrown into the cell with Red.
Next came Blue, as Broken Mirror overpowered him in terms of skill and impaled him through the chest, before throwing him in the cell as well.
Purple smashed him on the head from behind, briefly disorienting him long enough for The Second Coming to blast him with a laser.
Broken Mirror immediately grabbed Purple's staff from behind, pivoted, and threw him into the cage as well by his staff.
Yellow dodged as many blasts from Broken Mirror as he could, but one eventually caught and disarmed him. Yellow was skilled in mixed martial arts, as were his friends, but nowhere close to this literal GOD, so he decided to just surrender.
Only Orange and The Second Coming were left. They put up a valiant resistance for some time, Orange throwing energy blocks at Broken Mirror at supersonic speed while The Second Coming brutally lasered him, but eventually, Broken Mirror got close enough, dodging enough blocks, to yank the staff out of Orange's hand...and snap it.
He was also thrown in the cell.
Broken Mirror: Now it's just you and me!
They slowly circled one another, ready to fight.
The Second Coming uttered a war cry and charged at Broken Mirror.
Airgapped Computer, Location Unknown
H4CK3R and The Dark Lord both stared at the darkness around them.
Slowly, the lights came on as it revealed thousands upon thousands of pure-white stickmen around them. They all raised their weapons and got ready to fight.
H4CK3R: Fight?
The Dark Lord: Fight.
And the battle commenced.
[To be continued...]
Part 7[]
Airgapped Computer, Undisclosed Location
H4CK3R and The Dark Lord stared in shock at the army around them of pure-white stick figures, holding various weapons.
Blades...guns...explosives...poison...a quick analysis from H4CK3R showed that every single weapon in (human) history was in at least one stick's hands, save for nukes.
H4CK3R and The Dark Lord backed into each other.
H4CK3R: Fight?
The Dark Lord: Fight.
They immediately started rampaging through The God of Light's sticks.
H4CK3R's Side
H4CK3R generated several shurikens and threw them into the crowd, decimating scores of sticks.
One stick was about to hit him on the head with a club from behind. H4CK3R didn't even bother to look at him as he grabbed the club with his animation taskbar and used it to smash the stick on the head and knock him out.
He generated a massive blade that was at least a mile long before swinging it in a 180-degree arc and decimating the sticks.
The Dark Lord's Side
The Dark Lord summoned ViraSpikes to assist him, impaling and corroding as many sticks as he could find. If one got too close, he brutally punched it in the face SO hard that its head caved in.
He used the laser eyes granted to him by his Wristband of Power to ferociously mow down hundreds of sticks ferociously, corroding them all, before flying up, smashing into the middle of the army, and releasing a massive explosion of fire. He then flew up, generated an enormous ring around the stick army, and closed it into a tiny sphere, before then smashing down on it so hard that every single stick inside was obliterated.
H4CK3R and The Dark Lord converged on each other, out of breath.
They were both (understandably) scared when all the dead sticks suddenly got up again and merged into one.
Underneath the constantly flowing sparks, he was pure white.
The God of Light: You've proven yourselves worthy of my attention, but not my assistance.
H4CK3R: @grIEENl1f3.141592653589979323846264Par2+-1c12.718s
The God of Light: Programmer021 gave you permission to ask for my assistance? Alright, I'm in. Where's the fire?
The Dark Lord: THE GOD OF CHAOS ESCAPED
The God of Light: Oh...no.
A split second later, they were back in the Outernet, but were thousands of miles away from where they had been when they had entered the Internet.
The God of Light: Time is of the essence. Keep up!
He left a massive shockwave behind him as he flew away, The Dark Lord and H4CK3R struggling to keep him in sight.
100 Miles West of Outernet City
Broken Mirror and The Second Coming were still brutally fighting. Due to his easy capture of all of The Second Coming's friends, he was overconfident and fought with literal brute force, while The Second Coming used ingenuity to slowly but surely overpower him.
Broken Mirror generated hundreds of shurikens and threw them all at The Second Coming, all of which he dodged. Broken Mirror then telekinetically made them fly back, so The Second Coming flew towards Broken Mirror, ready to punch him...then teleported away at the last second, causing all of the shurikens to hit Broken Mirror instead.
Before Broken Mirror even had a chance to get up, The Second Coming was on him with a massive blade, brutally slashing him up, down, sideways, left, right, north, south, east, west, northeast-you get the idea.
Outernet City
Everyone suddenly encountered a blackout, and were incredibly confused as a result.
Agent: WHAT THE-
Back to the battle
The Second Coming absorbed all the energy and released a massive explosion that completely obliterated the cave and left nothing behind but him, Broken Mirror, the power boosters, and a crater SO large that its rim managed to even collapse a few buildings in Outernet City. It wasn't too deep, though, so his friends were safe.
He raised his blade, ready to destroy the deadly threat once and for all...
At the worst possible time, as if The Second Coming were the punch line in some huge cosmic joke...
The God of Chaos returned.
Broken Mirror rolled away from The Second Coming before he could kill him.
And with the last remaining vestiges of his power, he wrenched his massive stockpile of power boosters out of the ground and threw them all at The God of Chaos.
The Second Coming: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Fortunately, it was at that exact moment that The God of Light arrived with The Dark Lord and H4CK3R.
The Dark Lord saw what had happened to The God of Chaos and was infuriated.
He flew up to Broken Mirror...and impaled him in the chest.
The Dark Lord: Nobody takes over the Outernet but ME!!! Do you understand?! DO YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And for the first time...his weapon successfully corroded a superpowered stick figure.
When the disappearing body was finally gone, the group of superpowered sticks turned toward The God of Chaos.
He was significantly stronger...strong enough to destroy the Internet in a single explosion.
But he didn't.
The God of Chaos: I'm not going to destroy anything in the Internet without getting rid of you stupid pests first!!! You've been a thorn in my side for long enough...now I will destroy you. I'm going to rip you all limb from limb!
The God of Light: We can't take him alone. Second Coming, you know what to do.
The Second Coming discovered that he could telepathically converse with The God of Light and received the message.
They all fused into one being.
"The Second God": You will never succeed! If you want to, you'll have to go through US.
The God of Chaos: Bring it.
And they began to fight.
Broken Mirror's (former) Prison Room
Unbeknownst to them, the Color Gang and Orange were about to discover an old friend, one whom they would never, not in a million years, have expected to have survived.
Green: That's not possible...The Chosen One???
The Chosen One: I know this seems ridiculous, but I have one heck of a story to tell you.
When I was wanted by Rocket Corp, my powers had grown. I had hired a "friend" who was able to create a new body identical to mine, but in a vegetative state, so if worst came to worst, I'd be able to inhabit a new body. I'd heard whispers of a great force of evil on the loose, so I tracked down this...evil twin of The Second Coming. But he was too strong for me, and I ended up here. Everyone else here, they came from PROGRAMMER021SPC in an attempt to stop him. They have various powers and abilities, none of which were strong enough to defeat Broken Mirror.
Red: I'm just glad you're alive.
The Chosen One: Same for you. Honestly, it's a miracle that you're alive - shortly after capture, Broken Mirror uses a random-choice tactic to choose several random sticks and drain them of their life energy. Not everyone here was affiliated with good, so some of the energy was corrupted. Including his.
Everyone in the Color Gang (in unison): WHAT?!?!?!?!
Outside...
The Second God and The God of Chaos were locked in a brutal battle of pure power. Nothing within a fifty-mile radius survived their massive duel, which involved everything possible.
The Second God cloned himself, releasing massive energy beams from all sides, overwhelming The God of Chaos, who retaliated with his own energy manipulation.
Out of pure rage, fear, and evil, he created twisted, evil versions (bonus: lowering morale!) of all their friends. The Color Gang...the ViraBots...The God of Light's clone army...even Mitsi.
But they all had horrifying, evil powers, which they all loosed upon The Second God, obliterating his clones, and brutalizing him.
The God of Chaos fired a massive energy beam at the sky...ready to destroy everything in existence once and for all, with The Second God unable to intervene.
Wounds appeared all over his body...his powers began to fade...and the sticks within began to separate.
It was at that moment, that within the brain and body of The Second God's body...
Everyone snapped.
H4CK3R released his code manipulation powers in a way that he'd never done before - destroying instead of changing.
All of the evil facsimiles of their friends vanished, and all the power boosters were expelled from The God of Chaos' body.
The Dark Lord's rage caused a Wristband of Power, emanating pure white light, to appear on The Second God's wrist.
He impaled and restrained The God of Chaos, causing any movement to severely wound him.
The Second Coming and The God of Light, together, pulled in EVERY animation...EVERY stick...EVERYTHING in the Outernet...
Outernet City
Everyone started to panic as they were all drawn towards the bright ball of light that was brighter than even the Sun...except for Corn Dog Guy, who was now selling his corn dogs at $20 a pop.
Rocket Corp. HQ
Agent and the mercenaries also started to panic as they were inexplicably drawn towards the bright ball of light.
Mitsi started having PTSD from the attack on Newgrounds.
100 Miles West of Outernet City
None of those minor issues mattered.
Everything paled in comparison to the present battle. The Internet was at stake. The Outernet was at stake.
The WHOLE WORLD was at stake, if The God of Chaos would ever be freed again.
Fused with EVERY single animation in the Internet, The Second God was glowing brighter than ever before - outshining the Sun.
They released a massive energy beam from not just their eyes, but their entire body.
The God of Chaos was blown through The Dark Lord's spiked barricade, having been blown through several cities and other Outernet civilizations.
The energy beam started angling up, blowing The God of Chaos through the IP barrier into ALANSPC...
ALANSPC
Real-life Alan barely dodged out of the way of a massive energy wave that was carrying...a black-red stickman???
Earth (from space)
The energy beam reached space before intensifying in strength to the point where it exploded in a literal SUPERNOVA. It had been a sufficient distance from Earth, but just barely.
Just barely...
Outernet City
A massive earthquake rocked the city. It didn't feel like anything to The Second God, but it did to everyone in the real world.
But it was over. At long last, the world had finally been rebalanced. Chaos and evil were gone...order and good in its place.
And everyone went back to their original places before the merge had occurred.
H4CK3R dug down into the prison room, before injecting code into the cell to open the doors. Needless to say, he was shocked to see The Chosen One's face among the prisoners.
After The Chosen One explained his story, they all boded a farewell to one another, before leaving for ALANSPC, Rocket Corp, or wherever they had to go afterwards.
The Chosen One: There were too many traumatizing memories in the Outernet. Would you mind if...I...stayed with you in ALANSPC?
The Second Coming: I've...been waiting four years to see you again. Why WOULDN'T we want you to come?
ALANSPC
When he saw the sticks all flying toward him, he was elated that they had survived.
Alan: Lemme guess, long story???
The Second Coming barely made it to the Minecraft game icon and spawned a bed before collapsing.
The Chosen One: You got that right...
The End of Series Two
Epilogue - One Last Thing[]
100 Miles West of Outernet City
The God of Chaos was gone. There was no further need for The Second God, and everyone separated, back to where they had been before the fusion had occurred.
Including The Dark Lord.
Before anyone could restrain him, he flew away. His distant laugh could be heard in the distance.
H4CK3R: It's more of a thorn in our side than a major issue. We have some explaining and rebuilding to do...
1 Month Later
H4CK3R was doing his routine ViraBot search on his supercomputer for potential threats.
After a few hours of searching, he found a ViraBot ping hidden 1 mile below Rocket Corp. HQ.
H4CK3R panicked and immediately generated a 100000-ton anvil below him, breaking through all the floors underneath him rapidly, until he found himself in the prison chamber where criminals that were too strong to be contained in the city prison were placed. It was basically the Outernet's Alcatraz.
There were a lot of prisoners after the Second Outernet Clash had occurred. The Chosen One had told him that several of Programmer021's creations had been affiliated with evil, so after several days of tearing the weeds from the foliage, he found all the bad apples and locked them up here.
Somehow, one of the doors of one of the cells was missing, and the cell was infested with ViraBots.
H4CK3R was horrified.
Five Hours Later...
Agent had been hearing loud banging from the prison room for five hours, but didn't intervene because he was busy looking for The Dark Lord.
When he finally went down, he saw H4CK3R, out of breath, surrounded by shurikens and thrown swords, as well as a few pinned ViraBots desperately trying (and failing) to corrode H4CK3R's weapons.
Agent: WHAT HAPPENED DOWN HERE?!
At that moment, one of the ViraBots cut itself free and charged toward H4CK3R, so he used his animation taskbar to pick it up, trap it in a small cube, then reduce the cube to a tiny dot, crushing the ViraBot.
H4CK3R: There were ViraBots here. We need to find The Dark Lord as fast as we can!
Suddenly, a voice rang out through the darkness.
That won't be necessary.
The Dark Lord walked towards them, converting his goo-powers into lots of different weapons.
The Dark Lord: I understand that I have to go into containment for you to rest easy, but I am NOT coming quietly. Fight me...if you dare.
The Mercenaries suddenly dropped down from behind Agent.
Ballista: We got your back, boss!
And the battle commenced.
Five Minutes Later
Agent and the mercenaries laid behind The Dark Lord, unconscious, but not corroding.
H4CK3R and The Dark Lord gazed at one another menacingly.
H4CK3R: Oh, it's ON.
H4CK3R generated shurikens and started throwing them at The Dark Lord, the first few of which he dodged, before corroding the rest with his ViraSpikes.
Once they were gone, he retaliated with his laser-eyes, pushing H4CK3R back, then to the ground, The Dark Lord immediately leapt on top of him, before punching him in the head several times.
H4CK3R dropkicked him in the chest from below, throwing him off, before bouncing off the ceiling while generating knuckle-spikes on his hand and brutally punching The Dark Lord back several feet, before smashing him on the head with a giant hammer.
He approached The Dark Lord, deactivating an empty cell, ready to throw him in.
But to his shock, The Dark Lord just laughed.
The Dark Lord: Did you really think I would be dumb enough as to let myself be captured again? Heh heh heh...
He pressed a hidden button on his wrist...and all the nearby cells reopened.
The Dark Lord: I recruited a few...friends.
H4CK3R was horrified to see several other sticks - some armed, some with powers, some just running toward him - join The Dark Lord. He involuntarily took a step back, not knowing what to do.
Lucky for him, it was at that moment that Agent finally woke up.
Agent: Take him down! I've got you covered, boss!
H4CK3R suddenly surged in confidence, as he charged towards The Dark Lord, whirling a lasso.
Agent, meanwhile, took out his staff and shield, and started attacking all the other sticks.
H4CK3R tried to lasso The Dark Lord, but The Dark Lord grabbed the lasso at the loop and cut it off, before pulling H4CK3R towards him for a punch in the face. H4CK3R blocked the punch, then pushed The Dark Lord to the ground from there. (Amulet - Escape from Lucien reference)
H4CK3R immediately powered up his glitch-bomb fire, but it didn't come out as individual bullets - it came out as a massive energy beam.
The Dark Lord was pushed back, and then whacked on the head by H4CK3R's giant club. He tried to get up...but couldn't. His body was glitching all over. H4CK3R took advantage of the reprieve to lasso him around the neck, then threw him into an empty cell, before turning the energy beam back on. He was stronger than all the other prisoners, so H4CK3R converted all of the walls around him to energy and thickened them.
And finally, he joined Agent back-to-back in defeating every single evil stick around him.
Once that was done, they both wiped off the (nonexistent) sweat from their foreheads and went back up (dragging the bodies of the mercenaries behind them) and finally went back up to the main room.
Agent sent a message to a random worker.
Agent: Tell the general population that The Dark Lord has been captured. There are no more threats in the Outernet to fear.
H4CK3R breathed a sigh of relief.
H4CK3R: Finally...it's over.
[END]
The Outernet Stories[]
The Hacking Lord[]
Rocket Corp. HQ, 10 Miles Below Containment Center
The Second Coming, H4CK3R, and The Chosen One stood over a potent teleportation device that H4CK3R and Mitsi had created together. It was supposedly powerful enough to travel between universes and allow them to explore alternate dimensions. The plan was to be the guardian of not just ONE Outernet, but ALL of them.
The Chosen One: Are you sure this is safe? I've had enough crazy adventures for one lifetime...
The Second Coming: Of course, it's not safe. Why do you think we brought some of King Orange's staff to be on the safe side?
The Chosen One didn't have a response to that.
H4CK3R: Then, we agree. Let's do this!!!
All three of them started unloading all their power into the teleportation device.
The Second Coming's laser, H4CK3R's glitch-bomb fire as an energy beam, and The Chosen One's drawing energy from around him to create his OWN massive energy beam.
The world around them started to glitch and waver as it changed.
All three of the sticks were terrified and crouched down near one another, wondering when it would be over.
After a long time, the sounds finally ended, and they opened their eyes and stood up.
They were...in the Outernet. But it looked...different, corrupted. Holo-billboards were everywhere, displaying a message that read, "Obey Your Lord."
There were sticks on the streets, but they were all working laboriously and overseen by strange drones that almost looked like porcupines, bristling with weapons.
One stick tripped and fell. A voice rang out from the nearest holo-billboard.
Unauthorized attempt to escape from labor. Sentence: Death - Level 0.
The stick was killed with a combined tranquilizer and fatal gas.
Two other sticks "accidentally" tripped over as well, also attempting to die a painless death.
Another drone arrived, and that same strange voice rang out from the nearest holo-billboard.
Unauthorized impersonation of the previous crime in an attempt to receive a Level 0 Death. Sentence: Death - Level 5.
The sticks were mutilated by electricity for several seconds in agony before crumbling into dust.
After a long time of thinking, H4CK3R recognized the voice. It was someone he would never, not in a MILLION years... have expected to be up there.
It was him.
H4CK3R.
The Chosen One and The Second Coming were similarly shocked when they saw the poor treatment of the workers.
The Second Coming: [in a whisper] They're slaves.
The Chosen One: WHAT KIND OF A WORLD HAVE WE STUMBLED INTO?!
They were suddenly surrounded by drones.
Unauthorized access to this dimension has been achieved. Three hollow-headed sticks are not registered in The Hacking Lord's database. Sentence: Death - Level 100.
The Second Coming, The Chosen One, and H4CK3R flinched as the drones around them released many different tools of torture - whips, spinning blades, welding torches, magnetic weights, nervous-system electricity drainers, memory-altering devices, and WAY TOO MANY guns.
They all involuntarily took steps back towards one another.
The Chosen One, being the most hot-headed member of the group, immediately chose the "most direct and least obstructive course of action".
The Chosen One: We aren't coming quietly!
He leaped into the air and released a massive explosion that blew all of the nearby drones back, before smashing a few nearby drones to bits with his staff.
Unauthorized resistance against Peacekeeper Drones has been detected. The sentence has been upgraded to Torture - Level 5 and Death - Level 500.
Whenever The Chosen One destroyed a drone, ten more appeared in its place.
The Second Coming: You'll never be able to destroy all of those drones! Come on!
He grabbed his friends and teleported away, only to see more drones blocking their path.
The Second Coming: Guys, the only way is down.
H4CK3R generated a massive laser cutter around them, as their drones closed in, The Second Coming and The Chosen One destroying any that got too close.
Finally, he was done, and their massive slab of stone fell through a deep hole.
After a LOT of falling, they landed HARD.
The drones started following them, but The Second Coming telekinetically placed the slab of stone back on top of the streetside and sealed it in place, making it impossible for the drones to continue down.
They heard distant clapping and saw...an orange hollow-headed stick figure.
The Second Coming: Is that...me?
Before any of them could react, someone had incapacitated all three of them. He dragged H4CK3R behind him.
Tell me who you are and who you're affiliated with, or I'll snap his neck.
The Second Coming: Go ahead and try it - I can revive the dead!
The alternate-reality version of him walked towards him.
The Chosen One looked towards the other stick, who had subdued H4CK3R. It was supposedly HIS alternate-reality version.
Alt-Second Coming: Release him. They have some...explaining to do, as do we.
Ten Minutes Later...
The alternate Second Coming led them to a table that was filled with obsolete technology.
H4CK3R gasped.
Are those my TVs? And my old memory scanner?
Alt-Second Coming: He didn't just take over the Outernet - he took over its tech. It was to make sure that anyone like us - a resistance - wouldn't be able to get any technology to fight back.
Alt-Chosen One: We have to make the best of what we've got.
The Second Coming: Where...are your powers?
Alt-Second Coming: Powers? Me??? That's The Chosen One's department. I don't have powers...at least, not anymore.
The Chosen One: w-what do you mean?
Alt-Second Coming: He captured me and drained me of those powers. It's why I started this rebellion - there is simply nothing he won't exploit.
The Second Coming: WHO IS HE???
Alt-The Chosen One: He is you, H4CK3R.
H4CK3R: WHAT???
Alt-The Chosen One: Or at least, part of you. He has your powers, but not your mind. After you "teamed up" with The Dark Lord, that was when the timeline split. This version of The Dark Lord was more manipulative and evil than yours, so he FUSED his body with yours. He crowded out (and later destroyed) your consciousness, leaving him free rein to take over the Outernet. As he's also more sadistic than your version of him, he slowly started to kill everyone, selecting a random stick or human to kill daily. Anyone who breaks one of his excessive rules, meanwhile, is also killed.
Alt-The Second Coming: I'm assuming that you heard his "pain level" thing. He is so sadistic that more serious crimes tack TORTURE onto the punishment, and increase the pain level of the death.
The Second Coming: Did you just say...HUMANS?!?!!
Alt-The Second Coming: Unfortunately, yes. He has complete control over both the computers in the Outernet and the computers in the "real" world. If any human slanders him on social media, he takes over their electrical appliances and uses them to kill the victim.
H4CK3R felt close to fainting, not knowing that an alternate-reality version of him could be so sadistic, even if it technically wasn't him.
An alarm started blaring.
Alt-Chosen One: Crap. There's a Peacekeeper drone inside our base!
Before anyone could react, even The Second Coming, the alt-Chosen One was gone.
After some loud banging, he returned with a dead, sparking drone body in his hands.
Alt-Second Coming: We've been trying to reverse-engineer some of The Hacking Lord's tech to improve our own, but with limited success. Come on, I'll introduce you to the rest of the gang.
After some walking through an old, rusty hallway, they came across some "old friends".
It was the Color Gang, but they looked different. Older, more faded, but most striking was the massive range of prosthetics fitted onto their limbs and bodies.
Red had a mechanical hand on his right arm, Blue had a mechanical torso, Green had mechanical legs, and Yellow had all four of his limbs replaced.
The Second Coming was horrified to see his friends (even if they weren't his friends, per se) mutilated like that.
Alt-Red: Looking at us weird? There's a lot more to come. He didn't just take our limbs - he took our fighting skills, our minds, even our resolve. We gave up a long time ago, and we have to be satisfied with guerrilla warfare, as anything larger would kill us.
Alt-Blue: Are you from a different timeline? Where he didn't...win? Man, I really want to rip him apart for that.
H4CK3R: Yes.
Alt-Yellow: OH MY GOD THE HACKING LORD IS HERE SOUND THE ALARM-
The Second Coming recoiled in horror. These versions of the Color Gang were absolutely nothing like his friends had been. He was horrified as to what had happened to them. A hot-headed Yellow and nerdy Red were the exact opposite of what he was used to. And a warmongering Blue??? Was he hallucinating?
H4CK3R: I'm not your enemy. I came here from an alternate dimension where The Dark Lord never won. We had to team up to defeat an even stronger enemy.
Alt-Green: Stronger than The Hacking Lord? That's not possible.
The Second Coming: Your "friend" took over the Outernet. The God of Chaos came a little too close to straight-up DESTROYING it!
Alt-Green: Alright, point taken.
The Second Coming was horrified and would always be, at the fact that even his closest friend, Green, was completely backwards.
H4CK3R basically read his mind when he said what he said next.
H4CK3R: I think we're all gonna need some serious therapy when we get home.
Suddenly, a bell started ringing.
Alt-Red: That bell only ever rings when a serious situation occurs. The last situation that actually caused that bell to ring was the unprecedented arrival of The Chosen One - it truly gave us hope. Note that it was our timeline's version, not yours.
Two Minutes Later...
The trio met up with alt-The Second Coming in the battle room.
They were shocked to see just how many sticks had been recruited. They were all incredibly battle-worn, and all looked like literal PORCUPINES by the number of weapons on each stick's body - a quick analysis from H4CK3R showed that the average number of weapons on each stick's body was:
- 10 light/melee weapons (e.g, swords, knives, handguns)
- 5 standard weapons (e.g, assault rifles, shotguns, submachine guns)
- 1 heavy weapon (e.g, minigun, RPG, flamethrower)
The Chosen One was shocked that a resistance this well-equipped couldn't fight off The Hacking Lord.
One of the sticks, predicting his question, answered it.
This weaponry is obsolete. The Hacking Lord's peacekeeping drones all have this equipment, but significantly better and more advanced.
Alt-Second Coming: Now, to business.
He rolled out a battle plan to take down The Hacking Lord.
- With these new additions, we now have the power to defeat The Hacking Lord, so let's take advantage of them!
- H4CK3R, you'll be in charge of bringing our tech up-to-date.
- TSC, you run scouting on the base. Check for blind spots on the camera and weak points in his fortress's armor. Make your own if necessary.
- TCO, you help train our fighters.
- We'll spend one month preparing for the final battle. Here's the battle plan for when we actually attack the fortress.
- My Chosen One and I will act as a decoy for the peacekeeper drones.
- Our troops will take out as many peacekeeper drones as possible, while subduing his servants. They were mind-wiped and therefore will not resist The Hacking Lord. Once we're finished, we'll take advantage of the fortress's tech to restore their memories.
- The alternate-reality version of me, The Chosen One, and H4CK3R will be the ones directly responsible for assassinating The Hacking Lord.
One of the troops was horrified at this information.
But, won't that lead to your death?
Alt-Second Coming: What's more important: my life, or the life of everyone else? Even if I die, if it saves the Outernet, it'll all be worth it. I am proud to have led this rebellion...and all of you. And as for you, my alternate-reality friends...our dimension is at stake. Good luck.
The Second Coming: Maybe in another reality, we could've gotten to be real friends. Either way, it was an honor to meet you.
Alt-Second Coming: Same. And it'll be an honor to fight alongside you to the end.
Plan - Phase 1
Upgrade, Train, and Scout
Upgrade
H4CK3R looked at all the weapons near him.
He slammed a giant, thick bunker that would prevent anyone from entering and disturbing him.
Everyone could hear loud bangs from inside.
Random Soldier: Wow, he's doing a LOT of stuff down there...
Inside, H4CK3R saw his reflection in one of the guns - but he didn't see who he truly was - he saw his evil brother.
No. Just, no. I don't care if he exists - I will unmake everything he made. I will make this right again, even if it costs me my life.
H4CK3R had walked in with a group of obsolete weapons - when he walked out, he was dragging a large pile of futuristic and potent weapons. All the melee weapons then shot energy beams; the guns were all significantly faster and lighter than before, and the explosive weapons were all equipped with EMPs, so they were all incredibly effective against the peacekeeper drones.
Scout
The Second Coming flew out of the underground base, turning himself invisible, intangible, and changing his body temperature to the average around him, so he was completely invisible to visual, thermal, AND accidental-collision scanners.
When he scoped out the fortress, he was absolutely horrified to see just how...invincible it was.
He quickly scribbled everything that he could see from the outside of the fortress on an e-tablet that he generated, before flying it back to base.
It wasn't good.
Report
The fortress is fortified by three outer walls, each of which is armed with incredibly rapid-fire machinegun turrets, missile launchers, and drone deployment zones.
The inner wall has periodic drone patrols that crowd hallways to the point that severe annoyance has been incited in the brainwashed cronies of The Hacking Lord.
There are a few main weaknesses - the central tower of the fortress where The Hacking Lord is based is structurally unstable - a fairly strong push from a being like The Chosen One might be able to tip it.
There's a drone cloning room in the basement of the tower. If H4CK3R can hack into it, all the drones will be on our side.
The Hacking Lord is very paranoid that anyone might see him being even more corrupt than he was before (and he previously kept a smokescreen up that his actions were justified because the Outernet had suffered some sort of cataclysm and needed to be rebuilt, when in reality, it had suffered no physical damage), so there are no surveillance devices on the top floors of his tower, where he resides.
Surveillance stretches out ten miles outside the third outer wall, so a convex-arc flight pattern is recommended.
Everyone was shocked when The Second Coming brought the report back to base WITHOUT being caught.
The Chosen One: You have THAT many powers?!
Train
Alt-Chosen One: Now, I want to make ONE THING clear - we don't mean to train you in hand-to-hand combat - that is virtually pointless against drones that mainly rely on guns anyway.
The Chosen One: We WILL be training you in:
- Marksmanship (when it was over, they could hit a moving target from 5 miles away)
- Speed (They drew their weapons within 0.1 seconds of the prompt, even the heavy ones)
- Skill (They operated their guns as if they were extra limbs)
One Month Later
Alt-The Second Coming: Alright...the day has come. Today, we free the Outernet from tyranny! Today, we restore the freedoms and rights unfairly taken from us by The Hacking Lord!
The silence where he paused was worth a thousand words.
TODAY, WE TAKE BACK OUR WORLD!!!
Everyone started cheering.
Alt-Second Coming: Oh, and one last thing for our interdimensionally misplaced friends...thank you for helping us, even when we didn't deserve it. And one last thing...if we fail, it's been an honor to fight alongside you.
The Second Coming: No! Don't speak like we've already lost! We WILL win, and if we don't, I'll eat my mustache.
H4CK3R: You don't HAVE a mustache.
The Second Coming: Oh...right...
Battle - Phase 1
Alt-The Chosen One carried Alt-The Second Coming to the third barrier ring of the fortress.
Alt-Chosen One: You ready?
Alt-Second Coming: Absolutely.
Alt-Chosen One threw a fireball at one of the nearby missile launchers, creating a massive explosion that destroyed part of the wall.
Inside his office, The Hacking Lord saw the danger and deployed as many drones as he had to eliminate the threat.
Outside, alt-Chosen One and alt-Second Coming got ready to fight.
Alt-Second Coming might have been powerless, but he wasn't useless, either. As a memento to their resistance, he had taken Alan's Flash Pen from his computer after Alan had been killed, due to the fact that his creations had been responsible for inciting the rebellion.
He drew a massive hammer and, alongside Alt-Chosen One, started to smash scores of drones to bits.
A quick observation from H4CK3R showed that they were holding their own.
He wiped the sweat off his head - The Hacking Lord was taking the bait.
He (and his friends) took off in a convex arc, flying to the top of the tower.
The Chosen One: Is this the part where-
H4CK3R: NO. We have to hack the drone cloning room first. Just...look for a computer.
They crashed through a window on the lowest floor of the "private" rooms, splitting up, looking for a computer.
Troop Invasion
The resistance troops, led by the alternate-reality Color Gang, invaded the bottom floor of the tower, destroying every single drone they found.
Thanks to the diversion of the resistance, not a single peacekeeper drone noticed (or cared) about The Second Coming, The Chosen One, or H4CK3R.
After finally being lucky enough to not just find a computer, but a SUPERCOMPUTER, H4CK3R started trying to bypass the software, but there were too many firewalls.
Little did he know that they weren't just firewalls...they had beacons to The Hacking Lord's office.
He stared at the alarms.
But they're all attacking the outer wall! How is this possible-
He realized the truth in a split second.
DIVERSION!
Moments later, he generated a giant anvil and was crashing through the floors.
Meanwhile...
H4CK3R had successfully wired the drone-cloning system into a single button.
H4CK3R: We don't have enough time to hack the drones - pressing this button will EMP them all, thereby deactivating them.
The Second Coming: Cut the nerdy jargon and PRESS IT ALREADY!!!
H4CK3R nodded and raised his arm...
It was at that exact moment that the anvil crushed him and sent him falling to the first floor, where he was dogpiled by drones. He tried to fly back up, but they dragged him back down as if their lives depended on it - because they did.
The Second Coming: WHY IS MY LIFE THE PUNCHLINE OF A BAD COSMIC JOKE?!
The Hacking Lord: Nothing is left up to luck - everything is deterministic, predicated by the past and the laws of physics.
The Chosen One: Oh, shut up.
He started rapid-fire throwing fireballs at The Hacking Lord.
The Hacking Lord dodged them FAR too easily.
I implemented the powers of The Box into my body, so I could make myself INVINCIBLE if I wanted. Do you really think you could beat me?
The Second Coming: If I die, I'm taking you with me! We all are!!!
The Hacking Lord simply put him in slo-mo before spinning him around.
The Chosen One tried to laser The Hacking Lord, but The Hacking Lord increased his speed to 10x and easily dodged the laser.
The Second Coming finally got out of his spin and released a massive explosion that was, so far, the only thing that successfully wounded The Hacking Lord.
He was blown back before he successfully placed The Second Coming in slo-mo.
The Chosen One tried to take advantage of his imbalance and started blasting him with a massive jet of fire.
The Hacking Lord reversed his fire back on him and reduced his power level to 10%, setting The Chosen One on fire.
The Hacking Lord: Did you really believe you could defeat me, you fools?
A new voice rang out.
Can you defeat us all when we're UNITED?!
Alt-Chosen One flew through the window with Alt-Second Coming on his back.
Alt-Chosen One immediately blasted The Hacking Lord with a massive energy beam.
Alt-Second Coming smashed The Hacking Lord on the head with his hammer, before drawing scores of daggers and throwing them all at him.
At that moment, even in slo-mo, The Second Coming's laser hit The Hacking Lord, nullifying The Hacking Lord's Box control over him. He returned to normal speed, just as The Chosen One extinguished the fire all over his body with his cryokinesis, just in time to hit The Hacking Lord with his own energy beam.
The Hacking Lord: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
He telekinetically restrained everyone around him, tying them up with his lassos.
The Hacking Lord: There will be no returning from where I send you next - I promise you that. I don't just kill them - I erase their code. There will be nothing for you to bring back, Second Coming.
He released a beam of combined virus corrosion and code destruction...
It hit Alt-Second Coming.
The Second Coming: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Alt-Second Coming: Don't...grieve...just move... forward-...d...please...save our world.
And it was thus that Alt-Alan's last animation died.
Meanwhile...
Underneath, the massive pile of drones kept getting heavier and heavier as they desperately tried to prevent H4CK3R from getting out.
More and more drones appeared and started to crush everyone else as well.
It all seemed hopeless.
Meanwhile...
The Hacking Lord started shooting his corrosion blasts at both of The Chosen Ones, while The Second Coming countered them with his animal creations as much as he could.
Alt-Chosen One desperately ran towards the button, to which The Hacking Lord responded by deploying HUNDREDS of drones towards him, stopping him from pressing it.
When The Chosen One tried to press it, The Hacking Lord diverted half of the drones towards him, dogpiling on him as well.
The Second Coming generated a giant hand as a last resort, desperately trying to press the button.
The Hacking Lord simply selected the hand and turned it around, using it to punch The Second Coming out of the tower.
The Hacking Lord: I wanted this world to die more slowly, but I suppose a quicker one will do.
He released his corrosive beam, and the world started to glitch and disappear.
The Second Coming: we...failed...
But suddenly, a voice full of resolve, the very last one he would have expected, rang out through the air.
NO, IT'S NOT!
Suddenly, all the drones dogpiling onto H4CK3R were gone.
H4CK3R glowed with energy, using lightning to obliterate all the drones around him in a show of power.
He flew upwards, towards The Hacking Lord.
I'M NOT LEAVING THIS WORLD UNTIL YOU HAVE!
He released a massive amount of destructive code into the room.
All the drones sparked and shut down.
The Hacking Lord: What-...how...
He pressed the button.
And just like that, every single drone in the Outernet shut down...permanently.
The Hacking Lord started glitching.
The Hacking Lord: No! This can't - [ERROR 404] be hap[ERROR]pen[404]in[CRITICAL ERROR]g...
Just when H4CK3R thought the glitches would never stop...
A grey body was ejected from The Hacking Lord.
H4CK3R walked menacingly towards what was left of The Hacking Lord.
Alt-Dark Lord: NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME-
H4CK3R: I can, and I WILL.
He generated a massive blade...and SLICED HIM IN TWO.
H4CK3R: Finally...it's over.
One Day Later
Alt-Chosen One bowed down to H4CK3R.
Alt-Chosen One: We are truly permanently in your debt. How can we ever repay you for saving our world?
H4CK3R: Now that you mention it, we do need to get back to our world...
Alt-Chosen One: I figured that was coming. Don't worry, I got your teleportation device right here.
The Second Coming: Thank you. Really, thank you!
Alt-Chosen One: It's not me you should thank, it's H4CK3R.
He activated the machine.
The Chosen One, H4CK3R, and The Second Coming stepped through the portal.
H4CK3R: One last thing...please, don't go down the same path I did.
Alt-Chosen One: What?
But he couldn't say any more, as the portal began to close.
H4CK3R: Goodbye.

Simulation[]
10 ft. from the IP Barrier - Report 203.001
The Chosen One was flying through the sky at an altitude of 500.2302 feet and a velocity of approximately 394 MPH at the initiated request of a nearby 1-800-2CO-MING Emergency Hotline user, who stated that a hostile fighter jet of an unknown affiliation was attacking their house.
He realized that he was only approximately 402.391 feet from the targeted location, so he decreased his velocity from 394 to 134 MPH, while decreasing his altitude from 500.2302 to 23.05 feet, allowing him to make a controlled and non-injurious landing.
Unknown Voice: Analysis complete. More may be elaborated on later.
She walked away from the monitor, leaving it in darkness.
Meanwhile...
The Chosen One stared at the fighter jet hovering and firing...glitch-bomb fire?
The Chosen One: H4CK3R! I need information on how this unknown corporation somehow gained access to your tech!
H4CK3R: It's a long story. One that can wait until your objective is completed.
The Chosen One signed in exasperation before flying up and punching clean through the cockpit, then carrying out the pilot. He was glitching strangely, as though he'd been hit by his own glitch-bomb fire.
To make sure that no one would be able to use it for their own evil purposes again, The Chosen One lasered the jet in two.
The Chosen One: H4CK3R? I have a hostage that you might be able to interrogate.
H4CK3R: I'm on my way.
Two Minutes Later
H4CK3R had taken over the hostages' custody and given The Chosen One a potential location to start - some sort of factory where the jet had been built.
The Chosen One was desperately flying towards the objective location as fast as he could, knowing that this was an enormous danger that he hadn't seen since the defeat of The Hacking Lord.
He was so desperate to find out what was going on that he completely missed the other stick figure flying as well and ended up crashing into her.
Unknown: Identify yourself: name, threat level, affiliation, current objective.
The Chosen One: uh...my name is The Chosen One, I'm the Outernet's guardia-
Unknown: I will not tolerate anyone who attempts to plagiarize my position. The Outernet is sufficiently corrupted, and I will oppose anyone who tries to corrupt it any further.
The Chosen One: But-
He couldn't say any more as the unknown stick punched him in the face, before shooting lasers at him.
Orange and Purple's House
Purple: How did losing your son convince you to destroy Minecraft, especially since it was a simulation of Minecraft that was responsible for your son's demise?
Orange: I was already traumatized by a different event.
Purple:...your wife?
Orange: Yeah. [sniff] She left because she believed herself to b-
Purple started having a mental breakdown.
Orange: Purple! CALM DOWN! I'm not talking about how Navy left you. And besides, I don't care if we don't actually share any blood and/or genetics. You are my son, and I will keep you safe, no matter the cost.
Purple: [sniff] Thank you.
Orange: She didn't leave because she thought we were weak; she left because she thought she was a terrible mother and didn't deserve to be part of the family.
Purple: What was she like?
Orange: She was a...neon-yellow color. She was also really smart, but cold...like a robot. And here's the craziest part...about your friend, The Chosen One?
Purple: I only ever met him once - in that cage....
Orange: You won't believe it, but she had powers just like him. She'd spend the whole day either working on some crazy new invention, or the whole day stopping criminals and making about 50 cops jobless.
Purple chuckled.
Purple: Did Gold inherit any of it?
Orange: Not as far as I know - but she spent all her time trying to find out. She found a power within him, but he couldn't awaken it.
Purple: Like...The Second Coming???
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R: What is GOING ON?! You should have been to that factory long ago!
The Chosen One: [through comlink] I got kind of sidetracked. There's this new STI-[dodges fireball]ck figure who has powers that seem to mat[fires laser back at other stick]ch mine!
H4CK3R: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
The Second Coming walked up from behind him.
The Second Coming: I'll handle this one.
He flew off at the speed of light.
H4CK3R: [sigh] Agent, do you have that memory scanner yet?
Back to the Battlefield
The Chosen One desperately flew around the stranger, dodging fireballs.
The Chosen One: For the last time, I'M NOT CORRUPTED!!!
Unknown: That statement is invalid. Self-preservation dictates that even if you were corrupted, you would lie to me and state that you weren't.
She equipped a HUD in her eye similar to H4CK3R's, attempting to scan for weaknesses. The result was a complete lack of corruption, and the subject's awareness of the corruption decreased his threat level from 9.3 to .205.
Unknown: Apologies. I was unaware of your lack of corruption, as your behavior indicated that you were infected by it.
The Chosen One: Infected...?
Unknown: It's an incredibly long story. One that I don't have sufficient time to elaborate on here. We should move.
The Chosen One: Ok-
KABLAM
The Second Coming didn't bother landing softly.
The Second Coming: Chosen, are you okay?
Unknown: ...
The Chosen One: Oh no.
The Second Coming: I know exactly what you're thinking, and no, I'm not Broken Mirror - he's dead.
Unknown: Thank you for clarifying. I'm Neon.
The Minecraft Simulation, Outernet City
The glitches had gotten so bad that even the simulation's exterior had started to glitch as well.
At one point, the system started to ominously bulge,
Someone was somehow ejected from the door to the simulation.
Gold: I'm...alive? How?
He was glitching, but watched in shock as some sort of aura caused the glitches to slowly disappear until he was completely fine again.
Gold: How is this possible? And where is Dad?
Rocket Corp. HQ
H4CK3R, after listening to everything that had gone on, concluded - send a signal to Orange and Purple.
Orange and Purple's House
Purple jumped a foot in the air when he saw something absolutely shocking.
Every single electronic device in the house (even the Minecraft ones) was showing an image of H4CK3R's face. And they were all saying the same thing.
It's urgent. DROP EVERYTHING AND MEET US AT ALANSPC.
ALANSPC
Orange: Neon?!
Neon: Showing me animosity will only waste time, which is the least efficient course of action.
Two Minutes Later
Neon: I've been investigating this "glitch" for far more time than you have.
She held up a report on her tablet.
Glitch Corp.
Unknown Affiliation
Leader - Broken Mirror
Incredibly Advanced Technology
Reportedly Sold Glitchbomb Technology to Rocket Co.
Anyone who is infected by these glitches will slowly go mad, albeit only by agreeing with Broken Mirror's viewpoint, unless they have the power and/or resolve to recover.
The Glitch itself seems to have recently taken over the corporation, which reportedly happened shortly after the death of The Hacking Lord. This implies that The Hacking Lord has possessed the Glitch and plans to use it to his advantage.
The Second Coming: [covers face with hands] There's just no end to this guy!
H4CK3R: I beat him once, I'll do it again.
Neon: No, you won't. He was presumably strengthened by The Glitch and can potentially outmatch you now. His power level has been exponentially increased...to a level where he could rival The God of Chaos.
Everyone fainted.
100 Miles West of Outernet City, 10 Miles Underground
Glitch Corp. members walked around, desperately making as many glitch weapons as they could at the demand of their new boss.
One of them dared to mutter that their new boss was way crueler than Broken Mirror, and they didn't even know if that was possible.
He was glitched out of existence.
Hmm...
Alt-The Dark Lord sensed the presence of all his enemies in ALANSPC.
I think it's about time we...stepped it up a notch, eh?
Everyone's glitches suddenly disappeared as they all swirled into the body of alt-The Dark Lord.
Alt-The Dark Lord: It's time to end this - once and for all! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ALANSPC
Agent flew up to the computer with a tablet that contained all the information retrieved from the hostage's memory scan.
Memory Scan
The hostage is a high-ranking pilot of Glitch Corp's security wing. His memory scan revealed an investigation of the Minecraft simulation.
Gold is alive! And he inherited powers from Neon - but they're specifically anti-corruption and well-hidden, similar to The Second Coming. We have to find him immediately.
Neon: I'll deal with it immediately.
She flew off.
Minecraft Simulation
Gold stumbled out of the room, looking at the festival that he'd seen moments ago, before entering the simulation.
What happened? How long was I trapped?
He heard a familiar voice.
I truly apologize for the pain you suffered through, but you've been trapped for 6 years.
Gold: ...Mom?
ALANSPC
H4CK3R started formulating a battle plan with Agent.
The Second Coming started telling his friends everything that had happened since he'd left the computer.
Everyone was interrupted by a massive explosion.
Alt-The Dark Lord: I'm back. Did you miss me?
H4CK3R didn't know if he was deliberately referencing the message that he'd sent to Alan the first time he went back to get revenge, but he flinched nonetheless.
Alt-The Dark Lord sent a massive glitching wave through the computer that knocked everyone off their feet.
Most everyone recovered immediately, but the Color Gang was seriously glitched...and then brainwashed.
Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, and Orange: Long live the Hacking Lord!
The Second Coming started breathing incredibly heavily at seeing something that was more horrifying than he'd ever seen before - his friends dying, getting captured by victim, Green going INFLUENCER MODE, even saving the alternate reality from The Hacking Lord?!
He snapped.
He teleported behind Alt-The Dark Lord, and brutally punched him SO hard that he knocked ALANSPC over in real life.
Alt-The Dark Lord just laughed.
You know whose life I saved within the glitches by retaining their code?
The Glitch slowly took the shape of an orange, hollow-headed stick figure.
H4CK3R: BROKEN MIRROR?!
Outernet City
HELP! [static] WE'RE UNDER ATTACK FROM [explosion] ALT-THE DARK LORD AND EVEN [BEEP]ING BROKEN MIRR-[Connection has been lost]
Neon closed off the SOS from H4CK3R.
Neon: We may have one more ace up our sleeve.
Gold: What?
Neon: Scouting out the Rocket Corp. headquarters a few weeks ago, I found an emergency stockpile of green life particles that were stored deep down in the building's foundation for emergency protection. If we have sufficient capability to bring just one of those tanks to the battle, it may have sufficient strength to turn the tide.
Five Minutes Later
Neon had hacked into a hoverbike to take one of the tanks to ALANSPC to buy them some time.
Gold: What now?
Neon: If your powers truly center around decorruption, as Agent's lab report surmised, you should be able to eradicate The Glitch from the world.
She knelt next to Gold and stared intently at him.
Neon: This is my best attempt at conveying some sort of emotion - Gold, there'd be some irony in you being able to destroy the glitch. The glitch was responsible for almost killing you, and allowing you to eradicate it would convey some level of irony.
Gold: I...
Neon: The Outernet is at stake.
Gold stared up at the automated hoverbike towing a tank of green life particles to ALANSPC.
Gold: I never thought someone like me would be responsible for saving the world...
Neon: As many people, both human and animation, have said, it's merely a product of the system. I'm not going to sugarcoat this - you don't have a choice. You either learn to control your power long enough to cleanse the Outernet, or you end up in a dystopian world where The Hacking Lord reigns supreme - and if I were to tell you half of the things that happened in that world, you'd probably short-circuit.
Gold: ...I...I'll do it.
Neon: I may never reveal it ever again in my life, but I am immeasurably proud of you for making that decision. You may just have saved the Outernet.
ALANSPC
The Second Coming, H4CK3R, The Chosen One, and Agent were locked in a fierce battle against Alt-The Dark Lord, Broken Mirror, and the corrupted forms of the Color Gang.
Just to hurt him further, alt-The Dark Lord had specifically sent the corrupted Color Gang at The Second Coming.
The Second Coming knew they couldn't actually hurt him, so just to annoy Alt-The Dark Lord, he pretended to be totally unaffected by it and pulled up a couch, sipping virtual coffee, ready to obliterate Alt-The Dark Lord the moment he got angry enough to attack directly.
He wasn't having trouble, but everyone else was.
H4CK3R started throwing hundreds of weapons at Broken Mirror, as he somehow effortlessly dodged ALL of them. He retaliated by punching H4CK3R in the face, then tackling him to the ground and repeatedly slamming his head into the taskbar.
H4CK3R eventually managed to generate a spring under his head, so when Broken Mirror went in for another slam, his head bounced back, headbutting Broken Mirror back...just in time for Agent to lasso him around the torso and pull him back, ready for a hard slam with his staff.
Broken Mirror was knocked over as The Chosen One started channeling energy into his fists to punch Broken Mirror that much harder.
That was when Alt-The Dark Lord arrived, grabbed The Chosen One by the throat, and threw him into the side of the screen,
Before Alt-The Dark Lord could reach him, Agent punched him in the face from the side, before H4CK3R lassoed him around the throat and pulled him back, allowing Agent to pause him.
The Second Coming knew there was no way he'd be able to anger Broken Mirror this way, because he simply didn't care either way, considering them insignificant.
He released a massive cleansing wave that cured the Color Gang.
Green: We're...alive?
Yellow: And...we're not corrupted?
The Second Coming: There's no time to explain! Get out of here!
The Second Coming charged right at Broken Mirror, and they started their parallel battle once again.
Secret Laboratory, Orange and Purple's House, Outernet City
Neon had hooked Gold up to a machine that she believed could theoretically stimulate Gold into awakening his powers long enough to eradicate The Glitch.
Neon: One last check - are you SURE you want to do this? I will never subject you to forced pain and/or torture. I will only do this if I have your heartfelt consent - and not merely saying yes because it's what I want to hear.
Gold: Yes. I'm sure.
Neon: Commencing operation in 3...2...1...
She pressed the button.
ALANSPC
Broken Mirror and The Second Coming were evenly matched once again.
Broken Mirror tried to laser The Second Coming, but he slid under the laser and under Broken Mirror's legs and dropkicked him in the back. Broken Mirror retaliated by releasing two massive jets of fire from his legs after falling, blowing The Second Coming back.
He then used them as propulsion to get back on his feet - and then he and The Second Coming started exchanging furious blows mid-air.
The Second Coming slammed Broken Mirror downwards into the portal into the Outernet, with everyone else following.
Broken Mirror finally snapped, and pushed everyone back into ALANSPC and released a massive laser from his whole body that was exponentially increased in size the further it went.
Everyone was blown back and started to disintegrate.
Red disappeared.
The Second Coming: NOOOOOOO!
Green was gone.
The Second Coming: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Blue disintegrated.
The Second Coming: [sniff] No...
Yellow was the last to disappear from the Color Gang, but he was gone as well.
The Second Coming: [five minutes of pure primal screaming]
Agent, Purple, and Orange also dissolved.
H4CK3R: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Chosen One: I...I can't...I can't believe it...we...we actually...we actually failed this time...
They all let themselves fall unconscious, accepting their fate.
Secret Laboratory
The machine's hum slowly dissipated.
Neon: Do you feel that your powers have been activated?
Gold: Yes. Yes, I'm ready.
Gold was glowing. He started absorbing energy into himself...an absolutely massive amount.
Rocket Corp. HQ
The lights went out.
Mitsi: What is going on?
Secret Laboratory
Gold slammed his arms into the ground, releasing a cleansing wave of energy.
It covered the city.
The Outernet.
The whole world.
Glitch Corp. H-[ERROR]
Everyone stared at one another, dissolving.
What is happening?
Why has The Hacking Lord done this to us?
SOMEONE DO SOM-[ERROR]
Everyone, everything...it was all gone.
ALANSPC
The tank of green life particles finally arrived.
Broken Mirror had been severely weakened by the wave and couldn't maintain his power any longer. He broke through the glass and was about to drink in the green life particles...
But The Second Coming saw it...and with the last vestiges of his rapidly fading strength, he teleported inside the tank...and absorbed it all.
It all.
There wasn't a single person who felt the massive shockwave that The Second Coming released.
The Second Coming: I've met my maker too many times - NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
He brutally started punching and kicking Broken Mirror from all sides, before punching him back into the Outernet, in the location of The Showdown.
The Second Coming: You're nothing but a monster! YOU DESERVE NOTHING BUT THE MOST MONSTROUS DEATH POSSIBLE!
The Second Coming flew down, down, down...to the center of the Outernet, overflowing with code.
The Second Coming reached deep within Broken Mirror and pulled out every last piece of source code in his body, before releasing a massive energy beam into Broken Mirror's broken, shattered body, obliterating it.
The Second Coming: Goodbye...and good riddance.
He dropped the code into the Outernet's core, where it would be consumed until nothing was left.
ALANSPC
Everyone was rematerializing before The Chosen One and H4CK3R's eyes.
They watched the Color Gang embrace tightly with one another tightly.
Agent: I'm so sorry, H4CK3R. I failed you...
H4CK3R: You did what you could. Saying you failed in this context is like saying that you failed to bring back Mitsi. It's NOT YOUR FAULT. You did what you could, and there's no way I could be any prouder of you. You're not my friend anymore - you are my brother.
The Outernet
The Second Coming had truly overexerted himself this time. No amount of sleep, healing, or recovery could ever save him.
He collapsed...and he slowly started to disintegrate.
H4CK3R and The Chosen One flew down to pay their condolences.
The Chosen One: Will I ever see you again, my friend?
But H4CK3R simply wouldn't let it go.
H4CK3R: You brought back Mitsi for me. You saved my life countless times. I'm NOT going to let you go, even if it means I have to take your place underneath that tombstone!
Within minutes, what had been a shack of obsolete technology that The Dark Lord had resided in had been turned into a completely up-to-date hospital, all designed to keep The Second Coming alive.
H4CK3R: Hang in there. Please.
Secret Laboratory
Neon was crying.
Neon: Gold...you did it.
[To be continued...]
Corruption[]
AAAGH[explosion]
AAAIEEaaEE[explosion]
And amid all the chaos...was a glitching stick figure, murdering civilians left and right.
Bullets, fireballs, lasers...they were all completely useless against him.
He had one goal and one goal only...
ERADICATE THE SECOND COMING.
One Day Earlier
Orange froze.
...[in a whisper] Gold?
Gold: Dad?
And they embraced one another for the first time in 15 years.
Neon: I don't want to increase family tension again, so I'm lea-
Orange: No.
Neon: ...
Orange: Stop trying to analyze, analyze, analyze for once and follow your heart. STOP trying to deny yourself basic comforts because it's "inefficient". And stop being such a cold, hard robot and just...just be you.
Before Neon could even say no, everyone was practically dogpiling her with hugs, even Purple.
Neon: [halfhearted attempt at a joke] why did I agree to marry you...
Location of "The Showdown"
H4CK3R stood over The Second Coming's lifeless body.
H4CK3R: Hang in there...brother.
He knew that even an entire hospital dedicated to his revival wouldn't be enough, so he called down someone that he thought he'd never be in a situation dire enough to need again.
H4CK3R: God of Light? Could you please take a look at this?
Half a second later, with a flash and a bang, a pure-white stick figure with a glowing, rainbow aura appeared.
The God of Light: H4CK3R...what's going on?
H4CK3R: He...[breaks down and starts sobbing] sacrificed himself to save the Outernet...once again. He saved my life.
The God of Light: The fifth stage of grief is acceptance. Maybe you have to let go.
H4CK3R: No. I won't. He saved my life. WHO AM I to just let him die like that?! Maybe someone who's "normal" would do that...HE IS A GOD. Even if I were unbiased towards him, everyone else isn't. You have to save him. Please!
The God of Light sighed. He placed his hand on The Second Coming's head and started glitching.
The God of Light: I've never done this before, so you might want to step baAGH-
He was gone.
The Second Coming's Mind
The Second Coming stared at the borders of his body, slowly disintegrating.
They seemed to be held back by some unknown force.
The Second Coming [placing a hand on one of his body's borders]: Thank you, H4CK3R.
Before he could do anything else, someone appeared behind him...someone he'd never expected to have seen ever again.
The Second Coming: Light?
The God of Light: Apparently. H4CK3R wanted me to wake you up.
The Second Coming: How?
The God of Light: I...I don't know!
Rocket Corp. HQ
With the help of his mercenaries, Agent had created a massive memorial for The Second Coming.
The Second Coming.
You were a god.
You saved our world on several occasions.
You will never be forgotten. That...is a promise.
The Fighting Stick Figures made sure to be in front for the memorial, having been his closest friends...his family, even.
Green broke down in sobs.
Yellow: It was fun riding along those 16 years with you, bud.
Little did they know that someone was working incredibly hard to allow them to continue their ride...
The Second Coming's Mind
Light had tried everything he could to wake up The Second Coming.
The Second Coming: Why do you want to wake me up so badly???
Light: I only did it at H4CK3R's request. Right now, he's doing everything he can to keep you alive. You should be honored.
The Second Coming: Maybe he just needs to let go.
Light: [putting an arm around The Second Coming] If you're certain in that statement...but I'll stay here until I'm 100% sure that no other disasters are going to occur and you won't be needed any longer.
Outernet City
The Chosen One was doing his routine patrol in the skies of the city.

- WARNING! WARNING! GLITCH ACTIVITY FOUND IN SECTOR 16!
The Chosen One landed on the ground, where a patch of land was glitching strangely.
He lightly punched it, revealing a...hatch???
Ugh. Agh. AAARGH!!!
He finally punched the glitching hatch open and jumped inside.
It was as dark as a black hole, so he lit a flame on his hand as a flashlight and walked in.
There were glitches EVERYWHERE.
The Chosen One: How is this possible? Didn't Gold cleanse the Outernet of this glitch in the past???
He walked further down the dank, dark hallway until he came across a massive room with nothing but one throne in it.
Ah. Welcome.
The throne turned around...IT WAS EMPTY.
So...the "demigod" has come here to eradicate me. Good luck with that...muahahahahahahahahahaha!
The glitches started to intensify...until they SPLIT from the wall and converged into a tiny, dense ball.
This will be your only warning. Allow me to complete my objective WITHOUT interference...or everyone you know and love will be glitched out of existence before your very eyes!
The tiny ball morphed into the shape of a glitching stick figure.
You may call me...Oblivion.
Before The Chosen One could even react, Oblivion released a massive energy beam that blew The Chosen One out of the bunker.
The Chosen One: [contacting H4CK3R] We have a...little problem.
Location of The Showdown
H4CK3R: I'm a little BUSY right now! [hangs up]
H4CK3R: Hang in there....
The Second Coming's Mind
The Second Coming and Light sensed it at the same time.
Light: We've gotta get you out of here and back into your body. NOW.
Light ran a scan of The Second Coming's body.
Light: Your body seems mostly fine, only exhausted. [runs body diagnosis] I say "mostly" because your brainstem's been severed from your body, so you won't be able to wake up on your own. I only hope that we'll have enough time to fix it before he arrives.
Outernet City
The Chosen One was hovering near the glitching spot.
To his horror, the glitches seemed to be expanding!
A massive shockwave blew out from the glitches, blinding everyone. When The Chosen One's vision finally cleared, he saw a ruin...just like Newgrounds.
The Chosen One: No...
AAAGH[explosion]
AAAIIIEEE[explosion]
And amid all the chaos, Oblivion walked out, killing anyone who moved.
Several police officers started shooting at him, alongside The Chosen One, but they were all completely ineffective.
He had one goal and one goal only...
ERADICATE THE SECOND COMING.
The Tangos' House
Neon felt the explosion before everyone else.
Orange: What's wrong?
Neon: Something else. Something...worse. I have to go. I endanger you all if I stay.
She flew off, going to assist The Chosen One in combat.
Location of The Showdown
Neon desperately called H4CK3R.
H4CK3R: I'M BUSY-
Neon: We have an incredibly significant issue. You have to wake up The Second Coming. NOW.
H4CK3R contacted Light.
H4CK3R: WAKE HIM UP! NOW!!!
The Second Coming's Mind
Light: If we implant energy into your brainstem together, we should be able to repair it within an hour.
Then he got the call from H4CK3R.
Light: Crap. We don't HAVE an hour.
Outernet City
Agent rescued as many civilians as he could while Neon and The Chosen One held off Oblivion alongside a group of police officers shooting at him.
Oblivion just laughed.
Oblivion: Did you really think that you could beat me???
He released a massive wave of glitches that knocked them all off their feet.
He planted a foot on The Chosen One, ready to kill him...then Neon tackled him from behind before blasting him with a massive jet of fire. Before Oblivion could fight back, The Chosen One flew behind him and released his massive energy beam, blowing Oblivion outwards, away from the city.
Before either of them could continue, Oblivion released a massive glitching explosion that would destroy them if they tried to get too close.
Oblivion immediately flew away, towards The Second Coming.
Even though Neon and The Chosen One followed, they were nowhere close to being as fast as he was, and he was out of sight within seconds.
Location of The Showdown
H4CK3R got a frantic distress call from The Chosen One.
H4CK3R knew that he had to buy The Second Coming some more time, so he got out every single weapon he had in his arsenal, and pointed them all at Oblivion.
The moment Oblivion landed, he was blitzed with bullets, bombs, missiles, explosives, sharp objects, shurikens, and everything else that H4CK3R could think of.
After several minutes of pushing through, Oblivion was close enough to release his glitch-powers on the defenses, destroying them.
H4CK3R generated a massive sword and a group of shurikens, before uttering a battle cry and charging at Oblivion.
H4CK3R: RaAAH!
The Second Coming's Mind
Light was still pumping energy into The Second Coming's brainstem. Slowly but surely, it was regenerating.
Light: H4CK3R, we're at 94.5% integrity. The Second Coming will be ready to help soon. I only need five...more...minutes...
H4CK3R: YOU HAVE TO HURRY!!! HE'S HE-[static]
Location of The Showdown
Oblivion generated a glitch-lasso and smashed H4CK3R into the wall, then punched him so hard that he was knocked into a coma.
The Second Coming's Mind
Light: Come on...only three more minutes...
Location of The Showdown
The Chosen One and Neon finally arrived, bathing Oblivion in lasers.
The Second Coming's Mind
Light: Two...
Location of The Showdown
Oblivion stabbed The Chosen One with a glitching sword, before letting him drop to the ground. The Chosen One started glitching. Not to the point of being brainwashed, but it hurt nonetheless - and the pain was far worse than when he'd been hit by glitch-bomb fire in "Wanted".
The Second Coming's Mind
Light: One...
Location of The Showdown
Neon desperately threw fireballs at Oblivion, but none of them did anything to him. He grabbed Neon by the neck and THREW her a hundred miles away...all the way to Broken Mirror's former hideout.
The Second Coming's Mind
Light: Five seconds.
Oblivion walked closer.
Light: Four.
Oblivion slammed the door open and entered the room that The Second Coming was in.
Light: Three.
Oblivion smashed the glass pane around The Second Coming's unconscious body.
Light: Two.
Oblivion grabbed The Second Coming by the neck.
Light: One.
Oblivion released a massive amount of glitch energy from his body, ready to destroy the last hope that the Outernet had of recovering once and for all...
Light: Zero.
The hospital exploded.
The Second Coming was up...and ready for a vengeance.
And not just him...now that his job was complete, The God of Light had separated from The Second Coming's body, ready to destroy Oblivion...together.
The Second Coming: You ready?
Light: Let's finish this.
And the battle commenced.
[To be continued...]
Resolution[]
Location of The Showdown
Oblivion gazed menacingly at The God of Light and The Second Coming.
Oblivion: For every positive, there is a negative. For every equal, an opposite. For order, there is entropy. For life, there is death. And I AM YOUR DEATH!
Oblivion flew towards The Second Coming, brutally punching him in the face. For all his godlike powers, The Second Coming couldn't dodge or block a single hit from Oblivion, as he was even angrier than usual.
Oblivion: [grabbing SC by the throat] You are the embodiment of order that plagues this universe. Today, I will rid this world of you, and EVERYTHING you represent!
He generated a blade out of glitching energy...
Before he could even move it, Light was on him, releasing massive amounts of cleansing energy that slowly weakened him.
Light: I never knew someone like you could be so deluded.
In anger, he generated a mass of weapons and loosed them all upon Oblivion.
Before a single one of them could hit Oblivion, he teleported behind Light...and released a massive, glitching laser. Light was knocked to the ground, glitching.
The Second Coming: [quietly, menacingly] That's it. No more playing around.
He released an absolutely massive explosion that decimated the cliffside, to the point that there WAS no more cliffside...just clear ocean.
Oblivion summoned hundreds of glitching weapons to attack The Second Coming, but he dodged them all before teleporting behind Oblivion and slamming him into the water.
He was immediately on Oblivion, choking the breath out of him. But before he could finish him off, he generated a massive amount of glitching energy and blew The Second Coming off of him.
He screamed in pain from the glitch, giving Oblivion enough time to brutally punch him once again, regaining the upper hand.
Broken Mirror's (former) Hideout
Neon sat up, rubbing her head in pain. It was pounding from...was that an alarm??? Yes...it was an alarm. The model was from an unknown origin and appeared to be sourced from...Glitch Corp.
Warning! Warning! The Glitch has become sentient! All personnel, evacuate the area IMMEDIATELY!
Neon was aware that "the sentient Glitch" referred to Oblivion, but what the rest of the alarm said shocked her.
Activating Anti-Glitch Failsafe. Activating Anti-Glitch Failsafe.
A massive energy wave blew through the room, and all the remaining glitches in the room that hadn't been reached by Gold were destroyed.
Neon: Hm...if I can amplify the strength of this failsafe and direct it all at Oblivion, it could solve everything.
She called The Second Coming.
Light: You have to hold off Oblivion for long enough for me to execute my plan...
Location of The Showdown
The Second Coming: [repeatedy punched by Oblivion] I'm...doing...[throws a punch, knocks Oblivion back] the...best...I...[gets kicked in the chest] can!
He terminated the call before being repeatedly kicked in the head by Oblivion.
Oblivion: Today IS THE DAY YOU DIE!!!
The Second Coming: [releases a laser] Try me.
The laser blew Oblivion back and weakened his glitches, but he was far from done.
Oblivion: I'm done playing around.
He stomped his foot on the ground, and the sun turned black. Glitches spread out, ready to destroy everything at a simple command.
Oblivion: This will suffice.
And he directed EVERY LAST GLITCH...into The Second Coming's body.
Broken Mirror's (former) Hideout
Neon desperately set everything up, fully aware that time was of the essence and there was virtually no time left to get ready. She redoubled her efforts, knowing that the fate of the Outernet (and possibly EVERY Outernet) could be in her hands.
Orange, Purple, and Gold's House
They all saw the glitches.
Orange: I can't just sit here and watch the Outernet get destroyed. I'm going out there to help, even if it kills me.
Purple: NO! I WON'T LET YOU GO OUT THERE AND RISK YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT!
Gold: Me either.
Orange: No. I can't risk your lives like that.
Gold: What, so it's okay for you to risk your OWN?
Orange: I tried to destroy Minecraft. If I die, I'd deserve it. You wouldn't. I've lived a full life. You haven't. But I will give you my completely heartfelt word that even if I die, I will never stop loving you two. If there's only one thing you can ever remember, remember that.
He grabbed the pure-energy staff that TSC had given him to fight Broken Mirror, and he left.
Gold: [crying] Stay safe...
Location of The Showdown
Oblivion grabbed TSC by the throat and brutally punched him in the head a few times before throwing him into the water.
But he made one fatal mistake...throwing him next to Light.
Light: This has seriously escalated. You know what we have to do.
TSC couldn't even talk from the pain of the glitches swarming inside his body, but he knew. And they joined hands...and fused into The Second God once again.
Oblivion was not one to scare easily, but this terrified him.
Oblivion: Oh. You fused? Well, I guess less really IS more...DIE!!!
He sent glitches at him from every direction.
The Second God simply sent out a massive wave of cleansing energy that destroyed all of the glitches except for Oblivion.
Oblivion: I guess...it's about time I took you on PERSONALLY.
And the battle commenced.
Broken Mirror's (former) Hideout
Neon: [dusting herself off] Decorruption device complete. Let's do this.
She pressed the button.
Decorruption device active. Loading...1% 2% 3% 4%...
Location of The Showdown
H4CK3R and The Chosen One woozily got up to see The Second God and Oblivion brutally fighting in the sky.
Oblivion threw The Second God onto the cliffside, where The Second God responded with a quick laser burst, blowing Oblivion back.
Oblivion: Curse you!
He teleported behind The Second God and brutally punched him in the back, then followed up by throwing him into the water.
It was quiet for at most one second...then The Second God teleported out of the water with an incredibly hard uppercut, then a mass of generated weapons.
Oblivion was blown several miles back, especially when The Second God reinforced his weapons' attacks with his body laser. It was massive and incredibly powerful, and blew up several mountains by accident in the process.
When he finally got up, he found a face that he never knew.
But that face certainly knew him.
Orange: You...
And within a second of that one word, Orange had blasted him with his white void.
Orange: YOU KILLED MY SON! YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS! YOU ALMOST DESTROYED THE OUTERNET! AGAIN!!! I WILL NOT REST UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD!!!
Orange didn't bother holding back, consumed by anger, until he created a massive black hole in the middle of the ocean. Oblivion was sucked into the middle, before it emitted a massive amount of Hawking radiation and exploded, blowing them both away.
Oblivion was seriously weakened, but he had one last trick up his sleeve.
Oblivion: If I die...I'm taking you ALL with me!
He exploded.
HE EXPLODED.
All the glitches contained within his body spread outwards, in a deadly contagion.
The Second God fought the glitches as long as he could, but was consumed.
The Chosen One, H4CK3R, and Orange went far more quickly.
Broken Mirror's (former) Hideout
Neon saw the glitches coming and panicked.
97%...
Breaking news! Outernet City has been swallowed by glitches! We bring this information to you moments before we're also gonna d-AAA[static]
98%...
HELP! HELP! SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE!!!!!!![static]
99%...
Warning: Massive detection of glitches under 100 feet away. ETA - 0.1 seconds.
100%
The glitches were erased. COMPLETELY erased. Nothing was left.
There was no more need for The Second God, so they split back into their respective forms.
The Second Coming: It's...over? We won?
Light fell to the ground in exhaustion.
The Chosen One: I never want to do that again.
And yet...the ground was still glitching.
And an ominous voice rang out.
You cannot destroy chaos. You can only contain it.
The glitches slithered away, back towards where the bunker had been in the city.
Light: [in a whisper] We'll contain that menace...no matter what it takes.
[END]

Interview - An Actual Fan Short[]
"Interview - An Actual Fan Short"
The Second Coming flew up to the interview room in the Outernet City where the interview was to be had. He preferred this route to the conventional one, because in the conventional one, he was constantly mobbed by other sticks worshiping him, offering him gifts, and asking him lots of questions.
Now I get why The Chosen One was so bothered when we bowed to him after he defeated the ViraBot.
He mentally laughed - that seemed like SO long ago that it felt like that had been a totally different lifetime.
Interview
Reporter: What was it like first discovering your power?
TSC: Nonexistent. Not a puzzle, I had no memory of the incident until I oversaw it in The Box.
Somewhere, in Rocket Corp. HQ, H4CK3R winced at the memory.
Reporter: How'd you first WILLINGLY unlock your power?
TSC: 15 minutes of meditating.
Reporter: Memory Analysis of The Chosen One showed that you fell unconscious shortly afterwards, suggesting that your powers took up too much energy. So how did you last so long fighting H4CK3R, The Dark Lord, Broken Mirror, and The God of Chaos, as well as learning to activate your power willingly?
TSC: You know how my powers included healing? I surmised that they would thereby also work as adrenaline. In other words, I un-tired myself.
Reporter: Wow. How did you learn to control your power?
Reporter: Here's my two cents - it sounded really stupid and counterintuitive to use powers of creation for destruction.
TSC: [having flashback of bluescreening ALANSPC on several occasions] [nonexistent eye starts twitching]
Rocket Corp. HQ, 1 Hour Later
MItsi: Why is there a bill in here for "repairing a window"?
H4CK3R: You don't want to know.
Who can Bluescreen ALANSPC the Fastest? - An Actual Fan Short[]
"Who can Bluescreen ALANSPC the Fastest?"
Alan (in Adobe Animate): Okay, I prepared a bunch of computers, and I want to know which of my godlike creations can destroy it the fastest.
H4CK3R groaned, remembering his montage of torture at Alan's hands.
First Computer (TSC)
Yellow prepared a stopwatch on ALANSPC, and at the exact moment that he started it...
The entire room blacked out, as The Second Coming drew in a massive amount of energy and released it in a massive explosion.
Yellow: Congratulations, you destroyed the computer in...1.294 seconds!
H4CK3R: It's gonna be hard to top that...[stretching, getting ready to enter Alan's second computer]
Second Computer (H4CK3R)
H4CK3R drew out all the power in Alan's second computer, as it was a laptop. When he was done, he sent it all into the CPU, frying it.
Yellow: Congratulations, you destroyed the computer in...1.2941 seconds!
H4CK3R covered his face in exasperation.
Third Computer (Orange)
Orange: Yup, I'm leaving. I'm done being a genocidal maniac.
He went back to ALANSPC.
Yellow: Can you blame him???
Red: Why are there nine of us all of a sudden?
The Second Coming: Hold on, let me count. You, Blue, Green, Yellow, me, H4CK3R, Orange, Purple...who's that???
Alan saw it...and he almost fainted.
H4CK3R: What's going on???
Alan (in Adobe Animate): He's the Kickstarter Stick Figure. He bluescreened my computer in 6 seconds by making a black hole!!!
Yellow: I guess that makes you the winner, SC!
He raised The Second Coming's arm in the air.
Kickstarter got mad and stomped right up to Yellow...and punched him in the face.
H4CK3R: You're not the only mad one, buddy.
[END]
SPARRING! ALL DAY!!! - An Actual Fan Short[]
Adobe Animate, ALANSPC
Alan was watching his sticks fight. AGAIN. It's all they did, save for saving the world.
Blue poked his head in, only for Green to stomp it back down.
Blue jumped out of the hole, punching Green in the head in the process.
Yellow joined in with a flying side-kick, knocking both Blue and Green back, before Red dropped down from the top of the taskbar and stomped on Blue, flipped backwards, slid beneath Green's legs, and then dropkicked him in the back.
Alan watched them tussle, as Purple joined in from his elytra, dropping down and fighting everyone.
Orange had come with one of his staffs with a gold block fitted in it, just to be safe, but he couldn't resist the thrill of battle, either, so he ended up joining in, taking on the entire Color Gang by himself.
Having joined ALANSPC after fighting The God of Chaos, The Chosen One joined in, throwing fireballs at everyone. He and Orange went in a head-to-head, using his golden electrokinesis to attack The Chosen One, who retaliated with his own cryokinesis, blocking everything.
Then H4CK3R and Agent came in.
Alan: Is your purpose business or pleasure?
Agent: ...the latter.
Next thing they knew, H4CK3R had joined the fight and was throwing random objects at The Chosen One.
The Chosen One: You think you can beat me when I'm at full strength?
H4CK3R: I did it once, I'll do it again!
The Chosen One released his laser, as H4CK3R generated a mirror to reflect it back into his body.
He was blown back, and then hit by H4CK3R's glitch-bomb fire.
Orange joined in, landing several blows on H4CK3R before electrifying him. Before H4CK3R had a chance to get up, The Chosen One generated a thunderstorm and started zapping H4CK3R, then drawing the energy into himself to deal the finishing blow.
A boulder landed on him.
Alan: [typing] XD :P
The Second Coming had been watching from afar.
The Second Coming: Not this again...
He dropped down and brutally punched Alan's cursor to the ground before generating a sticky grenade and blowing up the cursor.
When it was gone, they all turned back towards one another.
H4CK3R: Now, then, where were we?
Agent joined in with his staff and his shield, brutally beating the Color Gang.
The Second Coming started toying with Orange, The Chosen One, and H4CK3R.
The Second Coming: [thinking] Is this how The Dark Lord felt toying with us?
Alan created a new cursor and closed the window, trapping all the sticks inside the taskbar.
H4CK3R: [muffled] not...this...again...
Alan opened up sticksfight.com, where everyone immediately went back to fighting.
Yellow: ENOUGH OF THIS!
He lit several blocks of TNT and threw them everywhere.
The Second Coming facepalmed, having bad memories from "Texture Pack".
Everyone ran, flew, or teleported away as fast as they could.
Yellow raised his arms in victory...then The Chosen One and The Second Coming simultaneously threw him into the right wall of ALANSPC.
H4CK3R decided the fight was over, then left with Agent.
The Second Coming: One last thing...
He generated a giant spatula, then whacked everyone around him into the ground.
[END]
Interview II - Another Actual Fan Short[]
The Second Coming flew down to an underground Rocket Corp. room.
H4CK3R led him in.
H4CK3R: The interview has to take place here because of what you did...you know...LAST TIME.
The Second Coming sighed. He knew, but there's a difference between knowing and being able to do it.
He met the interviewer...again.
The Second Coming: Sorry about last time...
Interviewer: You owe me $1,000 for battery!!! >:(
The Second Coming sighed again and paid him.
The interviewer flipped through several pages of his notebook.
Interviewer: [muttering] where were we, where were we...Aha!
Interviewer: Can you count how many times you've supposedly "saved the world", as a guardian OR vigilante?
The Second Coming: Killing The Dark Lord the first time, killing The Dark Lord the second time, defeating The God of Chaos, defeating The Hacking Lord, defeating King Orange...
KABOOM
H4CK3R angrily stormed into the room.
H4CK3R: CAN WE GO TWO SECONDS WITHOUT ONE INCIDENT?!
Agent walked down from one of the upper floors.
Agent: [sheepish] That was me. I was testing out our new gravitational nullifiers, and it touched a bomb. And then I deactivated it, and it went off. Apologies.
H4CK3R sighed in exasperation.
Interviewer: Next question. Where did you warp realities into The Hacking Lord's universe?
Before The Second Coming could answer, the paper was ripped out of the interviewer's hand.
H4CK3R: That's classified.
He generated a shredder and destroyed the paper.
Interviewer: Fine. Okay...Why did you continue to fight Broken Mirror instead of trying to bring him back to the light? He is a fallen guardian, you know.
The Second Coming: Sure is hard to feel that way when he was actively trying to kill me and everyone in the Outernet...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
H4CK3R: WHAT NOW?!
Suddenly, an anvil crashed through the roof and almost landed on top of the interviewer...But The Second Coming was barely able to catch it right before it crushed them.
Hazard fell through after the anvil.
The Second Coming: What is going on?!
Hazard: Sorry, I was trying the anvil trick that H4CK3R used to get to The Dark Lord.
H4CK3R: Good for you, you succeeded. I'm suspending your payday for two months.
Hazard angrily stomped back upstairs with the anvil.
Interviewer: [sigh] Okay...how do you feel about working alongside H4CK3R after he imprisoned one of your closest friends and almost destroyed ALANSPC?
The Second Coming: He's trying to change, but I'm not gonna lie...sometimes it's pretty awkward. Like trying to hug The Dark Lord in a non-strangulating way.
A knife sailed past the interviewer's head. Then another. And another.
They spelled out the phrase "NOW I WANNA STRANGLE YOU. FROM THE DARK LORD."
H4CK3R: Why is there a ViraBot behind me?
Next thing the interviewer knew, The Second Coming was gone...and then back again. The only difference was that there were two halves of the ViraBot instead of a full one.
Interviewer: Have you ever touched anything in the Outernet that hasn't eventually exploded?
The Second Coming: My hammer. It didn't explode, it imploded.
Interviewer: Here's a what-if scenario - you've awoken your powers and King Orange is about to destroy Minecraft. What would you have done?
The Second Coming: [scratching back of head] Ah...I think you found the one scenario where having godlike powers would be a bad thing - he had such a tragic backstory.
H4CK3R: Broken Mirror?
The Second Coming sighed again.
Interviewer: Can you explain to me your new "Emergency Hotline" app?
The Second Coming took out his phone and tossed it to the interviewer.
"Emergency Hotline"
Dropped your phone in the toilet? Did you get ear damage from listening to Norweigan Death Metal music? Did you eat your dog's homework and you now have indigestion?
Call The Second Coming - 1-800-2CO-MING for your house emergencies!
A ViraBot invaded my house and almost killed me. But this app saved my life and everything else! 5/5 - Navy
I'm no match for ViraBots, but this guy definitely is. 5/5 - YoYo
I watched a horror movie and had some serious PTSD, but he came and stood sentinel over my bed for a week! He's the best! 5/5 - Grite (Green-White)
He even services people in the REAL WORLD?! I'm definitely giving this the maximum rating! 5/5 - alexcrafter28
He stole my corndog customers. 0/5 - Corn Dog Guy
Interviewer: Wow. I'm definitely downloading this!
The Second Coming: Thanks!
Interviewer: What do you do after the battle's over?
The Second Coming: Sleep for 120 hours straight.
Interviewer: Then how do you know that half the Outernet's broken?
The Second Coming: Evil plots don't take that little time to formulate.
And then, his phone started spamming messages like crazy.
They all said the same thing.
THERE'S A VIRABOT IN MY HOUSE
THERE'S A VIRABOT IN MY HOUSE
THERE'S A VIRABOT IN MY HOUSE
Interviewer: You were saying?
The Second Coming: OkaysorryIgotitwrongthanksfortheinterviewbye!!!
[END]
Credentials - An Actual Fan Short[]
The Second Coming: Remember that new app we just made? I think it's about time we started using it!
The Chosen One: I like the way you think.
Five Minutes Later...
H4CK3R: Okay, I rigged your receiver to take calls from an alternate universe. You should be able to receive calls from ANYWHERE now.
The Chosen One: [sigh] This is going to be one long workday...
You have one new message.
Caller: HELP! THERE'S A VIRABOT IN MY HOUSE
The Chosen One: We'll be right there.
A split second later, The Second Coming was back...with two halves of the ViraBot in his hands.
The Chosen One: Ahhh...sile-
NEW REQUEST - alexcrafter28: THERE ARE ROBBERS IN MY HOUSE
H4CK3R: Leave this one to me.
He flew to ALEXCRAFTER28SPC and summoned a thunderstorm in real life, frying the robbers.
alexcrafter28: Wow, thank you! You're definitely getting 5 stars on the app today!
H4CK3R gave him a quick salute to acknowledge him before falling back into the portal.
Meanwhile...
The Chosen One: Okay, what's our next problem?
You have 10 new requests.
The Second Coming:...I hate my life.
- My power went out!
- Lightning just struck my dog!!! HELP
- I was testing out that new Splash Potion of Awakening on my fridge - now it's throwing icicles at me!!!
- My antivirus program thinks I'm a virus and is trying to lock me in a chest!!!
- I bought one of Rocket Corp's gravitational nullifiers, but I dropped it. Now it's being used, on and off, on ME!!! HELP
- I just filled my house with Rocket Corp. TVs and watched the same movie on all of them, because why not? Now, my actual house is lagging!
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGIANTCHASMJUSTOPENEDUPBENEATHMYFEET
- Some prankster attached rocket engines to my house and launched it away! I don't know where either of them is!
- My computer got a Blue Screen of Death, but it's the wrong operating system.
- THE DARK LORD IS ON THE LOOSE!!! HE CORRODED MY FAMILY!!! HELP ME!!!!
The Second Coming: I need a vacation.
Problem 1
The Second Coming repaired the wire and used electrokinesis to restart the house's appliances.
Problem 2
The Second Coming healed the dog while The Chosen One slowly dissipated the storm.
The Second Coming: Next time, no bringing yourself OR your dog outside whenever there's a storm! Got it?
Problem 3
The Chosen One countered the living fridge's icicles with his fireballs while The Second Coming generated a chainsaw and sliced it in half.
Caller: HEY! THAT'S MY FRIDGE!!!
The Second Coming: First, you want me to save your life, now you're telling me how to save your life?
The Chosen One: I will never get some people.
Problem 4
The Chosen One took one look at the Avast! Antivirus system shooting lightning at the stick and immediately flew away.
The Second Coming sighed in exasperation before releasing a targeted EMP in the house that only deactivated the antivirus.
Caller: OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!! YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!
The Second Coming: Next time, use McAfee.
Problem 5
H4CK3R dealt with this one, tweaking the device to return to its original state.
H4CK3R: I'm sorry you had to experience this situation. Here's your money back.
Caller: Thanks! I'm definitely giving your app five stars!
H4CK3R: It's not MY app.
Problem 6
H4CK3R realized that the house wasn't lagging because of the TVs, but because one of his mercenaries had accidentally shot a glitch-bomb at it.
H4CK3R: [sigh] Agent? Could you come take a look at this?
Problem 7
The Second Coming was just barely able to pull the caller out of the chasm before The Chosen One (underground) brutally punched the rift back into place.
He jumped out, dusting his hands off.
The Chosen One: Phew! Done.
The Second Coming: You do know you just caused another hole in the pavement by jumping out, right?
The Chosen One: ...
Problem 8
H4CK3R located the house and returned it, while The Chosen One found the prankster and brought him to the caller to apologize.
Prankster: Sorry.
Caller: I hate you.
The Chosen One had to stare at the caller for another five hours awkwardly as he kept bowing down to them both, praising them way too much.
Problem 9
H4CK3R: Uh...how is this a problem? It's not like your blue screen of death type matters...
Caller: It matters to me.
H4CK3R was confused by this but decided to fix up the computer to its correct BSoD anyway.
Caller: OH MY GOD THANK YOU I AM NOT WORTHY
H4CK3R: Don't you dare start it-
Of course, the caller started bowing to H4CK3R like the last one had.
H4CK3R: ...why did I agree to make this app?
Problem 10
The Second Coming: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! YOU JUST LIED TO ME BECAUSE YOU WANTED MY AUTOGRAPH?!?!?!!
Caller: But...uh...uh...
The Second Coming: All you had to do was actually ask for my autograph - but no, you had to make up a fabricated story about The Dark Lord on the loose! I'm going to make this quick - you are hereby permanently and irrevocably banned from using my app or giving it a rating.
The caller walked away shamefully.
Back at HQ
H4CK3R: Do you think you should have limited the app's range to ACTUAL emergencies, not a tech support app? Considering how the callers are...
The Chosen One: I need a vacation.
The Second Coming: ...you're not the only one.
[END]
Therapy - An Actual Fan Short[]
The Second Coming led H4CK3R to a padded room with lots of cushions, punching bags, and other therapeutic stuff.
The Second Coming: Okay, the therapist should be here soon...
Therapy Session
Therapist: Okay, can you give me a list of problems you have?
H4CK3R: It's a long story. A very, very long story. It all started in 2008 when I was first drawn by Alan, named "victim", and then he tried to kill me...over and over and over...until I built a rocket and escaped to the Outernet...
One Lengthy Explanation Later
Therapist: Well, that was...quite an interesting resumé. By the sound of it, you're holding in a lot of anger. I'm gonna exit for a while and let you vent...
When the therapist walked back in, the room had been turned into...what room?
There was a giant crater in the ground, with nothing but a couch that H4CK3R was sitting on, sipping virtual coffee. Around him played both his best memories (escaping ALANSPC, meeting Mitsi, seeing TSC revive Mitsi, defeating The Hacking Lord) and his worst (his torture cycle, seeing Mitsi's death, witnessing both The God of Chaos and The Hacking Lord about to destroy their respective worlds).
The therapist sighed in exasperation.
Therapist: Having a destructive tic isn't exactly going to help.
His image flickered.
H4CK3R: ...what?
He reached towards the therapist and accidentally flicked a switch.
Automated Voice: Therapy.exe deactivated.
Then it dawned on him. He'd created this AI in the past because no one, save for Mitsi, really understood him.
H4Ck3R: Great. I'm literally arguing with myself. Well, at least nothing bad happened...
[1-800-2CO-MING Hotline pings]
HELP! THERE'S A VIRABOT IN MY HOUSE!!!
H4CK3R took about ten minutes to scream before he finally flew out.
[END]
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?![]
H4CK3R stomped down to Rocket Corp. Containment in fury.
H4CK3R: DARK?!
The Dark Lord: What is it? Here to play darts with my body again?
H4CK3R: Don't you worry - that's next.
He showed The Dark Lord a tablet of Agent's memory of the fireball that had killed Mitsi.
The Dark Lord: What is this supposed to mean?
H4CK3R: Don't play dumb.
He tapped the tablet and skipped ahead to the scene where the fireball landed.
The Dark Lord: What's this supposed to mean? Don't you know that that was The Chosen One's fireball, dummy?
H4CK3R: You can stop lying to me now.
On the tablet screen, the fireball started to glitch. It turned into a spherical design, and shortly afterwards, when the explosion of fire was shown, it was significantly larger than the original.
H4CK3R: You...FRAMED The Chosen One so that you would team up with me instead of him?!?!?!?!?!?!
The Dark Lord: Oh well.
H4CK3R: [generating a massive gun] Say that again. I dare you.
[END]
