All three of them are in the afterlife. Will Mr. Afterlife revive them?
== Lore Description ==
Meanwhile in the Afterlife, Mike figures that he can still protect his secret by simply telling Mr. Afterlife to revive him and Mary again. But Mr. Afterlife refuses, since Sam is practically a slave to Zomboss now, so their quest is actually complete. He even decides to protect Mike’s secret, too, by claiming that he’ll just let them stay here forever. However, he knows exactly what will actually happen next, because he has studied the timeline for the purpose of his plan. Sure enough, Sam arrives in the Afterlife. He decides to drop the act, apologizing to Mike and Mary for killing them and promising that he won’t do it again as long as they work together to stop Zomboss from trying to start another apocalypse.
Mr. Afterlife snarkily says that Edgar is more of a good man than he is…until he hears that he likes pineapple on pizza by dropping by real quick. This happens to be the perfect excuse to enact phase two of his plan. He threatens to finish the job if they don’t kill Edgar themselves, just to intimidate them and make sure that Mike alters the future of the timeline as little as possible, because one misstep from Mike could jeopardize his entire plan. And so, all three are revived and sent to the CSV house, which Edgar is using as a temporary base. Sam’s Killing Machine comes with them just as it did when Sam died.
Sam tries to use this weapon, but it is suddenly too weak to kill things anymore, even though it can’t run out of power. This was actually caused by Mr. Afterlife earlier, when Sam wasn’t looking. There is an option to limit the intensity of the blast in a hidden panel on the machine, which Sam does not know of, so he assumes that it ran out of juice. Sam has to plug it into his computer and wait for the Magic from Mr. B’s edits to restore it. In the meantime, Sam reads errors for the fourth time today.
Error 1: Windows makes it clear that when trying to fix a fatal exception, you may just stumble into more along the way.
Error 2: Mike has no idea what to do against Edgar, because he does not have access to the Killing Machine and Sam is currently using the computer that the Prompter is in. The siblings are just as easily infected again, and the error tells Sam this. Sam flies his ROFLcopter to his private island, going through the steel walls and such. The ROFLcopter also emits a white glow amid the dark skies.
Error 3: Mr. B has decided to edit the computer on the Private Island too, since Sam is going to use it. He did not give it the power of OS switching since there was barely any time left before Sam arrived. It can at least heal the Killing Machine, which was his goal to begin with, because Edgar cannot be left alone as a threat.
Error 4: Apparently, at some point, Internet Explorer got its own Operating System. The error tells him that this OS is either missing or damaged on this computer, but he doesn’t care about Internet Explorer at all.
Error 5: Sam has a YouTube account that is subscribed to the ClassicSamVideos channel. The error tells him to subscribe for more, even though he already did.
Error 6: Sam apparently reported an error for profanity, so this error tells him to explain what type of it was present. However, let’s just say the options weren’t specific at all.
Error 7: Windows notices that the amount of disk space has somehow gone to the negatives, and threatens to call the cops for illegally hacking Windows. Sam states that it is just unintended software gore.
Error 8: Sam uses a file compactor that ends up not working like it’s supposed to. Instead, it compresses air into that file, now being 2 exabytes large. Despite being more primitive than Windows 11, Windows 95 manages to increase disk space to 3 exabytes in order to support the file. Sam gets excited because he can put truckloads of more stuff in the Homework Folder, confirming that he has a copy on this computer.
Error 9: Windows explains that he actually still has the same space as last time, but with a balloon for a file. Sam reveals that he doesn’t actually need that file, so he can delete it and make use of all that new space.
Error 10: The Killing Machine is restored back to its original state, but Mr. B calls it the Killing Machine Mk. II for plot convenience in Sam’s point of view. Sam flies back to the CSV House, confronts Zomboss, and wastes no further time killing him again. This episode, and Episode 3, is also finished and uploaded to the channel on July 2nd.
== Director's Commentary ==
NOTE: After all the lore revamps on the document are done, I am going to actually tend to this wiki the way I should've done in the beginning. I'm also going to remake the director's commentary bits. So, as a little disclaimer, the following isn't the final version and may even contain outdated information in some cases.
So, Mr. Afterlife DID revive them so easily, but it was only because he wanted Sam to be defeated. Funnily enough, Sam being a zombie counts as him being defeated in his eyes. I mean, it sort of makes sense lol. And here's Sam right now, apologizing to his friends while also opposing Zomboss. Looks like all three of them finally have something in common…for now. But he'd rather keep Sam dead than revive him again…until he finds out that Zomboss loves pineapple on pizza. Look, I just needed an excuse to revive Sam, and the others, but mostly Sam lol. In the actual lore as of today, this is just one of Mr. Afterlife's excuses to go along with his plan of gaining Mike's trust.
So yes, the reason why the Killing Machine is suddenly weak is not actually explained. This can be interpreted in two ways. The easier, lamer option is that it expends a bit of power every time it is used, so the more times it is used, the less useful it is. The second option is the one I went with, which is Mr. Afterlife actually being the one who sabotaged it. This makes perfect sense with the plot of the final Arc 1 episodes. As an example, we know from the Mr. Tyrone VS Drew Pickles episode that Mike 2.0 just popped into the scene, proving the two clones were able to enter and exit the Afterlife at any time. So I'm thinking that when Sam turned into a zombie, Mr. Afterlife stole the Killing Machine and put it back after changing it. Originally, I didn't really explain this all that well during the time when I was first writing the lore document, but the info is there now.
Also, yeah, we have the obligatory errors, because they somehow will upgrade it. This was probably inspired by what SamJoex did with his old series. This is not actually the case here, though.
Error 1: Oh, speaking of SamJoex. I was looking through his Twitter, and I based this error off a post that he retweeted.
Error 2: It's clear that I almost forgot that Mike and Mary are also there, so I just…turned them into zombies again. Because screw them, am I right? This is the first appearance of the ROFLcopter, which is an old staple of the TTS community. Sam uses it as an actual vehicle to go to a safer place. Oh yeah, I think the reason why the title of this error is like that is because of something in Act 1 of Homestuck. One of John Egbert's program files had the title of "FUCKFUCKFUCK" so I was probably thinking of that when I titled this error.
Error 3: And here we have Windows Private Island. I wonder if this place will ever be relevant in lore again? Especially Twix from AWE S1EP7. I've been looking for an excuse to make them relevant again, just like how I made the rest of the Soy family relevant again in Arc 3 Episode 21, but I found an excuse. I also like to think that it's not the errors that charged the Killing Machine, but it's an upgrader that Sam is using. Because, y'know, it makes more sense that way. Also yeah, the reason why it's Windows 9x is because I wanted to do something different than XP and 11, and it was the only operating system I didn't use in the error generator.
Error 4: The fact that IE is called an "OS" here is inspired from an r/softwaregore post, I'm pretty sure. Also, the "fuck [thing]! I wipe my ass with [thing]!" quote is another old staple from Microsoft Sam videos that I brought back here.
Error 5: Just some dumb humor about YouTube telling you to subscribe to a channel that you are already subscribed to. I'm not saying it happened to me; this idea probably just popped into my head while I was making this video.
Error 6: Probably based on an r/softwaregore post, too. You gotta love Sam pointing out the obvious not once, but twice. xD
Error 7: Ditto for the inspiration behind this error. Also, by "illegal means," the error just meant that he illegally modified his computer to have negative storage, just like how you're not supposed to modify your Nintendo Switch. Also, eyyy, I actually made a reference to the subreddit I was looking at!
Error 8: Ditto. Again. Oh yeah, and I guess that Sam has a copy of the Homework Folder saved on this particular computer. I wonder if he bothers to update the folder sometimes?
Error 9: I like how Windows just gives him an astronomical amount of space just because an error got inflated. And this is on 9x, too! Mr. B's influence seems to know no bounds.
Error 10: "Killing Machine Mk. II!" Yeah, this totally isn't the same version that managed to kill Dr. Zomboss that one time. xD
Yeah, that's a plot hole I genuinely didn't catch when I was making these. And the saga literally just ends with Sam going back to his house and killing Zomboss. Not even any last words from him. LOL
And I didn't forget Mike and Mary. I wanted to address that in the next episode. Back then, I considered this episode to be the halfway point of the season, because originally, it was supposed to have 8 episodes, just like a classic Funny Windows Errors season from Thunderbirds101. I mentioned this in the description of the next episode, too, and I eventually acknowledged the change of plans during AWE S1EP8. That's it for this one, I guess.
