In his second fight, he tracks down Alloy, who has a suit with similar alien technology as his own species. Alien Hominid tries to break it down for spare parts for his ship. Afterwards, he manages to translate language to discover a stereotype that "the narrow-eyed ones" are able to build advanced technology. He finds Nene, who attacks him in retribution. In his final fight, Alien Hominid is annoyed at being repeatedly attacked, so he targets Samurai Asshole, who has become a threat to Newgrounds, to gain Newgrounds' support.
