The Great Stickmen War 3: True Colors

The Great Stickmen War 3: True Colors is a webisodic series on TikTok filmed by Wade Rininger. It is the third and final installment of the Great Stickmen War trilogy, as well as the third installment in the Whiteboard Saga.

## Plot

In the prologue set two years after the Supreme Leader went BOOM, Pink wins a battle against Maroon in one of their cage fights. Upon seeing a photo of Black as a reminder of their love for one another, she mentions her worries for him to Maroon, but Maroon reminds her that Black left her and his friends out of untrustworthiness, bringing Pink to rip the photo in half and leave her relationship with him in the rear view.

In the present day, after the defeat of Horox and the restoration of the multiverse, Black and Pink, now happily married, return to the cage fight arena to move out Pink and Maroon's stuff after it had been decommissioned. While moving their belongings out, Black finds the torn-up photo. Back in their home, Pink finds Black had recovered it, bringing her to get him to explain why he left the team. Black claims that he was afraid that their special skills would be too much to control, and Maroon, who had been listening in on their discussion, sets the team apart, angry at Black for ditching them and making them into the people he had found when he decided to come back for them. With Black in charge of his own team (Pink, Red, Yellow, Lime, Purple, and Dark Brown) and Maroon her own (Green, Orange, Blue, Light Brown, and Light Blue), so begins another great stickmen war.

Feeling betrayed, Maroon decides to sport her Burgundy moniker once again, with Orange worriedly watching her change back to her hardened self. Blue sneaks up to Black's blood transfusion vault and unlocks it, but finds he is ambushed by several of Black's teammates, including Pink. Pink locks herself and Blue inside the vault while resisting his electricity powers, but is knocked into a restraining table by Maroon, who had also gotten inside the vault with her and Blue. With the equipment inside, Maroon steals a sample of Pink's blood and mixes it with everyone else's blood into a syringe.

Meanwhile, Black leaps off his home's cliffside and into the water below to recover what is left of the sword he had used against the Supreme Leader. His teammates return to alert him of Maroon's success in getting Pink's blood, but Orange arrives with an unconscious Pink in his arms after being sent by Maroon to dispose of her. Black sends Orange and his team to get Pink to safety while he awaits Maroon's arrival. After a while, she shows up and injects herself with the blood mixture, transforming herself into an insanely superpowered behemoth. Black leads his teammates, as well as the other stick figures who had previously defected to Maroon's side, against her, but comes up with a plan that would really stop her.

Black takes them to the vault, with Green holding her off, and they find a photograph of Maroon's deceased frog companion, also named Maroon. In a rush to get back to the fight, the Animator draws and shoots them out of a cannon. Black shows Maroon the photo, subconsciously awakening her real self. She notices an orb of energy in the shape of her brain crackling energy, and attempts to destroy it, but is stopped by a subconscious version of her Burgundy moniker. Burgundy claims that all she wanted was to be the one in control, and tries to eliminate her, but Maroon kicks her into the orb, breaking it and reverting her real-life self back to normal.

Victorious, Black and Pink watch as their friends rejoice and spend their time having fun, with Maroon and Green now an apparent couple. Wade concludes the trilogy by crediting @flipopossum, @freddyman20208, and @eemf2069 for building the story from the beginning.
