<<<
In Search of the Scarlet Griffin 5/5 is the fifth and final part of the In Search of the Scarlet Griffin series by The Philmer, which premiered on December 14, 2020. The video mainly shows the final battle between Spyman's Cosmos and BSoD's Gang, that takes place entirely on Nisipoulis. Eventually, everything changes when BSoD possesses The Scarlet Griffin and becomes the hardest danger the gang has faced so far.
== Synopsis ==
As BSoD's Gang forces Spy to unleash the power of The Scarlet Griffin for them, the Journey Squad arrives on the island. However, it may be just too late for them and the final battle begins.
== Plot ==
The video begins with Mangle, PCus, Caddict, Charles and Droppy watching a cartoon and talking, when Pankid enters the room to inform them that the teleport is ready. Caddict asks if it's certain, remembering how the last activation gave him a bump visible on his forehead. Pankid assures him and Mangle adds that her, Caddict and PCus shouldn't go anyway, as they can't fight. This irritates Pankid and after a few more adding that they don't want to go, he finally snaps and orders to go to the basement. Caddict then brings him down by calling him Spy. Leaving the room after the others, he meets Mad and tells him everything, how he's barely handling being a leader. Mad gives him a few advices and says that they should go.
On Nisipoulis, Spy comes out of the Griffin's Cave and is immediately pointed at by Gun henchmen. BSoD welcomes him back and leads towards a rock altar, where the rest of his gang are waiting. Jack shows Spy that the scroll contains a spell in ancient Greek that he needs to read in order to activate The Scarlet Griffin's power. Spy reluctantly does that, but to everyone's surprise, nothing happens. Spy assumes it's because his not a good person, but BSoD denies that, as something would have happened to him. Despite being puzzled, BSoD orders his people to kill Spy and find someone else on his place. Spy is worried, when he spots somethign in the sky and says that he would stop the gang. Blue Screen asks with what army and Spyman points at none other than the Journey Squad parachuting down to the island. Their enemy instantly orders to shoot them, but everyone dodges the bullets and lands safely, while Hans, who's steering their jet, shoots back at the evil gang. 
Jack notices No-Life landing and complains that he was apparently neutral, when Phil lands behind him and says they convinced the boy by saying the villains are fans of sports. Everyone then begins to fight. Amid all the chaos, Spy notices his chainsaw unprotected and turns back to attack BSoD, who's suddenly disappeared. Somewhere on the side, Alice faces Dr Rex, who jokes about his brother's awkwardness to tell Alice what he feels and attacks her, throwing his R-sphere. She dodges it and Rex jumps at her himself, knocking her to the ground. Just when he's about to do more, he's grabbed from behind by Saturn and the brothers fight, with Rex freezing Dr Saturn in time, which scares Alice. She throws one of her electric staffs but to no effect. When Rex approaches her laying on the ground, she electrifies the maniac with the other staff and he teleports away, as Saturn unfreezes. He asks Alice if she's okay and she confirms it, also adding that she made her choice.
Elsewhere, Phil is fighting Jack and saved by Spy. When the scientist attacks them both with sonic waves, he's stopped by Lenny and Jenny, who give the two time to talk. Phil thanks Spy for saving him and Spy does the same, as well as apologizes for his earlier behaviour. They both catch up and Phil gets an idea on why The Griffin didn't do anything. He then realizes that the idol is nowhere to be seen and they're both awakened by BSoD's laughter. They want to stop him, but BSoD turns on the artifact, which causes a big flash of light. Spy and Phil join the others right at the city border. Looking at BSoD floating in the air, OkiWan asks why nothing bad happens to him and Jenny explains that the idol must have seen him as a neutral being, as computers weren't around in the ancient times. Not long after, BSoD's 'eyes' flash and he creates a semi-formed scarlet titan shaped to his likeness. He tries to take control of the heroes, but is unable to do so with No-Life, apparently as he doesn't have a mind. Knowing that he has to do the right thing, the boy wakes up everyone from the trance and 'Red Screen' changes the strategy by simply attempting to smash the Cosmos, as he's in the full form - a red human-like figure with a computer screen instead of the head.
After a while, the gang is in a bad position. Hans flies towards the titan and opens fire on him, but to no avail. The jet is ripped apart and Hans barely survives by jumping out and landing on a building. He then lands next to Phil, terrified and sees him immediately running towards the enemy with no fear. However, Phil sees they can't possibly beat BSoD and is risen, as well as choked by him. He's suddenly saved, when another flash of light blinds everyone. He lands and gets up to see what's going on. From the hill they're standing on, everyone can very well see the remainder of Spyman's Cosmos arriving in the port. Phil tells Jenny to hold the enemies with the others, while he and the main four would go meet their friends. They all then catch up and discuss the strategy, with Phil saying that for his yet unrevealed plan to work, they have to distract Blue Screen, while he and the four would realize it. Joseph points out after Rex, that it needs more planning, when Spy looks up and tells everyone what to do, who to fight and motivates the non-trained members. He fully accepts his role in the group and takes the lead. They all go up the hill and once they're opposite to BSoD, who created scarlet copies of his allies, they start running. While majority of them stops at some point, the main four continues to run. Mad approaches Hans and hands him one of the repaired hovercycles, as the main four finally gets to BSoD. Mad then attacks the titan, who realizes what they're doing, but is in fact distracted by Hans.
Phil then reveals his plan, saying that there surely isn't anyone in the world, who could be considered a fully good man, but the four of them, with some particles of good might be an alternative. He then enlightens his friends that they all possess one of the traits that were mentioned many times before, with Spy being courageous, Saturn being wise, Oki being persistend and himself being valorous. Next, Phil asks them what do they think and Spy agrees for it. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang are fighting. Mangle and PCus are against a few of the henchmen. The latter is kicked by Mangle to smash some of them, when she's called by someone. She then meets Dr Rex for the first time in person and the evil scientist, accompanied by embarrassed Jack, reveals her love to her. He immediately wants to copulate with her too and Mangle turns to PCus, asking him if he wants to repeat the move. Even that doesn't turn down Rex, who's ascended that Mangle beat him without paying her. Ignoring him, Jack points the two with the screwdriver, but is called out by a loud voice. He turns around and sees the titan fusion of the main four. He immediately attacks it, but the laser just goes through the construct without any harm and Jack is punched away. Copper and Commander Bus also get slightly hurt, while the merged four heads towards BSoD. The two titans then fight, which ends in the four's victory, paralyzing BSoD, who asks no one why can't he do anything and Spy brings back that it's because the legend of the Griffin said of good people, not a person.
After a flash of light, BSoD's mobile screen breaks on the ground and a literal Blue Screen of Death shows up with Mad pointing out the irony. All of the constructs then disappear and the gang is victorious. However, Jack manages to get the screen, saying he'll live again, when Lenny comes in front of him, knowing he wouldn't be hurt being Jack's brother that he still cares about. Jack debates whether he should shoot Lenny and ultimately does so, motivated by his friends. However, the laser misses and once Jack realizes that he could have really killed his brother, he pushes him away, with most of his care fading away. The evil gang then escapes by teleporting to their base. Phil approaches Lenny and pats on the back to comfort him. Afterwards, all of the gang and Hans are gathered in Phil's Mansion to party. The Journey Squad talks about the last few days and are mostly happy, though Phil is sad that many bad things happened too. Jenny then says that the memories are most important and kisses him for the first time, while the rest look at each other or away. Followingly, Oki asks what happened to The Griffin and Spy says that Arthur took it to Phalanx and they transported it somewhere else. Then, a crate is seen being closed by someone, as another person, revealed to be General Stefanson, watches. Spy continues, expressing the hope that wherever the idol is, it won't be found again, as the final shot of the CPA warehouse is shown and the credits roll.
In a post-credits scene, set two years later, Phil's Mansion is seen in a peaceful atmosphere, broken by the armoured Colonel Johnson landing by the driveway and saying it's "time to clear some things out".

== Trivia ==
=== General ===
* It is the longest episode of the series.
*The Philmer's personal favourite part of the series.
*Dr Rex's face when responding to Saturn telling him to leave Alice alone is inspired by various Jim Carrey expressions.
*There was supposed to be abrief scene during the battle, in which Joseph would have denied what he saw in front of him, saying that there must be some scientific explanation regarding BSoD's titan form. This was supposed to explain why he was still reluctant about mythical things being real in The Thunder.
=== Continuity ===
* At the beginning, the gang briefly mentions Nicholas, who due to the decanonization of Party Hard 1/4 shouldn't be considered a canon character. The Philmer's explanation is that he exists in the main Spyman's Cosmos timeline as well, but was presumably quickly kicked out for an undisclosed reason, as it was never said he joined the gang exactly in Party Hard.
*Spy recalls OkiWan hitting the metal door in Collision Course 4/4, which is also Oki's minor issue later in the timeline.
* The CPA warehouse contains a crate with Fari spells tablets, which might have been used years later.
=== References ===
* When BSoD floats after using the Griffin, Oki's words reference the main villain's actions in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
* The ending scene is a direct parody of Raiders of the Lost Ark ending.
