## Plot

### Flashback

After a battle in the Internet world, Izon had arrived where The Dark Lord's death occurred. It was revealed that he was dead, but The Dark Lord's dead body was witnessed on the ground inside of a huge hole in the ground which was the green lasers doing from The Second Coming. Izon takes the dead body back to his lair, which was in another universe.

Back at his lair, Izon puts The Dark Lord's body inside of a machine, which reprograms The Dark Lord from becoming someone to kill The Chosen One, and instead is programmed to kill the other kinds of animations, Evore and her friends, as well as working for Izon and doing whatever he says. Afterwards, Izon and The Dark Lord (who now had the power of 'Deletion') notice on the screen monitor in the lair, that Evore and her friends had escaped again from Circus Baby throwing them down a trapdoor which lead to the exit of underground instead of killing them. Izon tells The Dark Lord to go after the first animations, after giving him his wrist bands back, who arrived in Izon's universe which was in Dimension III: The Stick Figures, and The Dark Lord does just that, changing what had actually happened in the original episode.

### Present Day

After his battle with the ViraBot, The Chosen One flies back to his world, trailed by The Second Coming and company. Exiting the IP barrier, he flies down to a house near a cliffside, while the Stick Gang falls into the nearby bay. Landing down and opening the door inside, he sees The Dark Lord, having survived his punch from their last fight. Before The Dark Lord could react, he is immediately punched and thrown through the wall of the house and knocked back. The unrelenting Chosen One, angered by his former friend's actions, quickly goes on the offensive and punches him into the cliffside. The Dark Lord lands on an outcropping safely and launches a fireball in his direction, destroying a portion of the cliff. As he flies back to the house, his path is cut off by an immense laser beam and promptly struck by another one. The Chosen One kicks him near the water level and flies upwards, The Dark Lord retaliating back with consecutive fireballs but misses. Both combatants enter the water and The Chosen One flies forward, punching his opponent out of the water and into a side of the cliff. As a stunned The Dark Lord watches, The Chosen One flies menacingly towards him before charging ahead.

Elsewhere, the Stick Gang manages to climb out of the water and arrive near the house. A curious Red looks at 7 locked hatches and then opens the door to the house. Inside, they see a computer, while Yellow and Blue look down and see more inactive ViraBots. Red and Green look at the computer and see the portals on-screen are activated and linked to an unknown location. Red sees a black and red wristband and plays around with it. A slip leads him to accidentally opening the hatch doors. Meanwhile, The Chosen One manages to grab The Dark Lord and attempts to laser his opponent, but The Dark Lord pushes his head upwards, causing the beam to harmlessly fire into the sky. Unaware of the open portals, they fly in. They arrive in a YouTube video of Animator vs Animation Shorts 4: The Showdown, with both fighters pausing the video at certain moments to injure their adversary.

They then flew out again and landed on a Twitter page. The Chosen One lands on the bottom and The Dark Lord kicks him down and through the website. They land at the front page of Reddit, destroying a post and causing another to increase in upvotes. The Chosen One grabs The Dark Lord and pushes him into another portal, into the search page of Google. The Dark Lord quickly uses the site to his advantage by typing "do a.." and uses the barrel roll easter egg to knock The Chosen One away. They land at a Twitch stream and The Dark Lord uses the rapid wall of message to injure The Chosen One, before he is knocked away and lands into the Wikipedia Globe. The Chosen One punches his enemy into the globe, destroying it, and they land into a Discord server. The Chosen One scrolls upwards, causing the profile's pictures to knock and stun The Dark Lord before using his laser vision to knock him back into their own world. The Dark Lord stops his momentum from the attack and launches a fireball, which hits the unsuspecting Chosen One. Stunned and hurtling, he is grabbed by The Dark Lord and punched into the water below, knocked unconscious.

Satisfied, The Dark Lord flies back to his house. Seeing the immensely powerful being flying towards them, the Stick Gang hides in the nick of time. The Dark Lord enters and closes the portals. Thinking he is unseen, he attached the band to his wrist, causing his eyes to glow and a black and red beam of energy to shoot into the sky, momentarily darkening the world. The Chosen One recovers but sees the beam and grows uncertain. The Dark Lord, now more powerful, flies towards his opponent, eager to end the fight. The Chosen One tries to attack but is knocked back by a flurry of kicks and punches. He attempts to use his laser, but the beam is now ineffective to The Dark Lord, who promptly knocks his head back and throws him away. The Chosen One lands safely but is met by huge red spines, similar to the ViraBot's. He gets hit in the chest but is otherwise unaffected and rips it out, using it to knock back the other spines flying towards him controlled by The Dark Lord. He gets knocked into the sky and is then struck by four spines in the chest, before being punched into the water. He crash lands but The Dark Lord dives down to continue his assault. Inside the house, The Second Coming, Red, Blue and Green are panicking, seeing their savior overwhelmed by the new threat.

Yellow takes charge of the situation and uses the computer for a plan. The Second Coming notices the cursor and thinks of a plan involving Noogai. Noogai, cleaning up his computer after The Chosen One's battle, suddenly sees an urgent message. He thinks none of it and continues to clean up when another pops up, pleading to help The Chosen One. He then gets a User Control Account message from Yellow, originating from The Dark Lord's console, mentioning The Chosen One's need for assistance. After deciding to click Yes, a program called the Animator Combat Tool opens up, and with Yellow's assistance and knowledge, he is able to enter their world, the portal opening and creating a huge cursor to fight with and control. Seeing the cursor move, The Second Coming congratulates Yellow for his quick thinking.

The Dark Lord, having knocked The Chosen One into the water again, turns around and is shocked by the appearance of a cursor. Before he can react, he is grabbed and shoved into the cliffside. The Chosen One enters the fray and he and Noogai attempt to injure The Dark Lord. Pinning him against the cursor and trying to burn him alive, the more durable Dark Lord grabs his opponent and ignites a corrosive, flaming blade, thrusting it into his chest. The Chosen One falls into the water and The Dark Lord attempts to kill him but is intervened by the cursor blocking his path. He is grabbed and pulled upwards but the cursor disappears when it exits the Combat Tool window. Noogai right clicks and a Windows menu knocks The Dark Lord falling back into the water. The Chosen One flies up to help and the battle becomes a mess of flying rocks, lasers, blades and combos from The Chosen One and Noogai. The Dark Lord calls for assistance and summons a huge swarm of ViraBots to help him. The swarm overwhelms the cursor, unable to overpower the greater number of virus. The Chosen One tries to burn and knock them away but is grabbed by The Dark Lord and violently thrown into the cliffside. With the greater number of viruses and The Dark Lord's blade impaling the cursor, they manage to crash the program, removing Noogai's intervention. The computer is now crashed by the virus, causing the Stick Gang to panic, when they see The Second Coming running out to meet The Chosen One for assistance. Given the effort just to kill one, The Chosen One is overwhelmed and pinned down. As The Dark Lord flies in, The Second Coming gets between them and tries to stop the fight. The Dark Lord summons the viruses away to confront the new threat personally and ignites his left blade, when the trio is interrupted by the arrival of the Fighting Stick Figures.

Red tries to attack but is stunned by The Dark Lord's immense speed, knocked to the ground and impaled. He weakly tries to get up but couldn't. Angered, his friends try to avenge him but are completely outmatched by The Dark Lord. One by one, Green, Blue and Yellow are killed, but instead aren't dissolved, leaving their dead bodies on the ground, The Second Coming knocked down and The Chosen One attacked by the virus swarm. He sees the dire situation but is suddenly stabbed from the back by The Dark Lord, seen but unable to be helped by a cornered Chosen One. The Second Coming falls to his knees but isn't dissolving. Confused, The Dark Lord slams him into the ground and stabs him again but is stunned by The Second Coming surviving. Angered, the Dark Lord resorts to flying him into the sky, rapidly slashing and stabbing his opponent, slamming The Second Coming into the cliff and impaling him with both his arm blades. The Dark Lord then tells the Virabots to let go of The Chosen One, and The Dark Lord stabs him as well, knocking The Chosen One down on the ground, weakening him. Satisfied, The Dark Lord flies up and surveys the outcome of the battle. He takes the dead bodies of Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue, and also The Chosen One and The Second Coming. The Dark Lord puts some kind of dangerous device on The Second Coming's neck and both of his wrists so that he couldn't use his awakening powers. The Dark Lord orders the Virabots to take the bodies of the stick figures from The Dark Lord and then fly with them into the portal that lead to Izon's universe, that The Dark Lord opens. The Dark Lord flies with the Virabots into the portal, exiting the Internet world.

Afterwards, The Dark Lord arrives back inside Izon's lair with the Electronicons. The Dark Lord puts the dead bodies in the champer inside the machine. Izon had took the heads off of the Fighting Stick Figures, after the machine gives them their powers, and throws hollow heads on their bodies. The Second Coming and The Chosen One's bodies, however, were taken into a separate champer in the same kind of machine, but in another part of the lair, by some of the other Electronicons. Izon was satisfied, but got an alert that some of the animations were out of their network and was roaming around the dimension with Evore, which was shown on the screen. Izon gets the rest of the Electronicons to capture them. When they ask how they were going to do that, since they don't have Elemental Shields to use as flight, some of the workers reveal jet skies types of vehicles that they could use, which also can shoot out cubic objects that turns anything it touches into a glitch. Meanwhile, the other workers tell Izon that the Animation Coding Device (ACD) was almost ready, and would be done by the time the other Electronicons capture the other animations, much to Izon's excitement. They all agree to do this, as the screen moves closer to the World Domination portal.

The screen reads: 'To be Continued', ending the episode.

## Production

### Warner Bros. Television

Warner Bros. Television Studios (operating under the name Warner Bros. Television (abbreviated as WBTV); formerly known as Warner Bros. Television Division) is an American television production and distribution studio of the Warner Bros. Television Group division of Warner Bros. (both ultimately owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD)). Alongside Paramount Global's television arm CBS Studios, it serves as a television production arm of The CW (in which WBD has a 12.5% ownership stake), DC Comics and distribution arm of HBO, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. Warner Bros.

Television Studios also produces shows for other networks such as *Blindspot* on NBC, *Person of Interest* on CBS, *The Middle* on ABC, and *The Cleaning Lady* on Fox. It has also produced series for streaming services, including *The Sandman* on Netflix, Mrs. Davis *on Peacock.* As of 2015, it is one of the world's two largest television production companies measured by revenue and library (along with Sony Pictures Television).

The division was started on March 21, 1955, with its first head being Jack L. Warner's son-in-law William T. Orr. ABC had approached Warner Bros. initially with the idea of purchasing the studio's film library (WB eventually sold the rights to the negatives of pre-1950 films and pre-1948 cartoons and shorts to Associated Artists Productions, or a.a.p., in 1956). WB formally entered television production with the premiere of its self-titled anthology series *Warner Bros. Presents* on ABC. The one-hour weekly show featured rotating episodes of television series based on the WB films *Casablanca* and *Kings Row*, as well as an original series titled *Cheyenne* with Clint Walker. The first one-hour television western, *Cheyenne* became a big hit for the network and the studio with the added advantage of featuring promotions for upcoming Warner Bros. cinema releases in the show's last ten minutes. One such segment for *Rebel Without a Cause* featured Gig Young notably talking about road safety with James Dean.

## Trivia

* The Fighting Stick Figures look the same after they were rebuilt. The only difference is that they have hollow heads inside of regular ones.
