## Synopsis

Maddox Monk, Norman Bates, Cartoon Bendy, and the rest of their outsider friends united with the Rage Virus, Uzi Doorman, and Cube Turret when an aggressive and malicious tyrant named Landon Martin planned to use MechaGodzilla to end the world.

## Plot

Maddox Monk was so close to placing the cassette into the VCR, but the digital hallucinations told Maddox that his mother was lying, he might be stuck in the chores again, Maddox knew what must be done: he must set teenagers free and break the Cycle. Maddox forcefully destroyed the End Cassette and felt the pain on his rib that the Rage Virus broke. After he sat on the throne, Maddox tried to be more confident to the Rage Virus, but he declared that the Virus won the battle, but the Rage Virus scared him out of spite. This angered Maddox, he punched the Rage Virus in the face, and suddenly, the powers in Maddox's bare hands electrocuted the Virus.

Maddox realized something: Elizabeth Monk told him what happened to his hands; his hands drawn more beautifully. So Beth convinced that Maddox has heart and soul on his imaginations, so he gotta learn trust on his hands. Maddox knew how he must fix the Rage Virus, he charged straight at him and smashed his hands on the Rage Virus's heart, which caused the Virus to whine in pain and melt down. Maddox grew more tired and passed out as the Rage Virus placed Maddox back on the throne, transforming back into Red J. Bird.

The Cube Turret woke up from his coma and experienced his visions telling him to remember who Maddox really was. Maddox took the Turret in and began to talk with him. Maddox introduced Red Bird to the Cube Turret, proving that there's always hope. Realizing that Sheriff Woody Pride could not remember, Maddox showed Woody memories, which turned out to be Toy Story movies. When it doesn't help much, Maddox, with the power in his hands, held Woody's hand for seconds, so Woody's eyes shined neon blue as his memories began to recover. So Woody immediately recognized Maddox as a friend back in Pennsylvania. Nathaniel Lewis comforted Woody as the Cube Turret complimented Maddox for using his own powers.

Later on, Maddox met a worker drone named Uzi Doorman. Maddox realized Uzi doesn't want to hurt him, she agreed to join his side. Maddox grabbed out a sheet of paper, and held Uzi's hand, allowing Maddox to observe and sketch a really cool picture of her. Uzi was amazed that Maddox was a great artist. When Maddox is finished drawing, Uzi asked about this sketch. GiAnna Aurillia, Nathaniel, Dalton Rupert, Sadie Casper, and Khaleal Henson all said yes, assuming they loved Maddox's drawings, especially Serial Designation N, J, and V. Uzi was so delighted and gave Maddox a tight hug and thanked Maddox for sketching quite nicely.

Realizing that Maddox's feeling better and now asleep, Uzi tucked Maddox in covers and patted his head. Uzi told the Cube Turret that Maddox finally found the virtual reality headset. It occurred to Maddox that he was the most talented, most interesting, and most intelligent rebellious teenager in the universe. The Cube Turret said that if only to free Maddox's teenager friends, he must turn off the Carrier of Rage Virus, dismantle the MechaGodzilla's core and disarm it forever. Maddox smiled as he began to nap his carefree little dreams throughout the course of the peaceful afternoon. Uzi knew that Maddox saw something in her that she doesn't see in herself.

The next day, Maddox is the one understanding the prophecy of Uzi's mother, Nori Doorman. Serial Designation N agreed to join Maddox's crew and led him to the sewers. Maddox, Norman Bates, Uzi, Red, and N climbed down and found MechaGodzilla's core. Uzi explained to Maddox that those bad memories that haunted Elizabeth was from a very cruel man named Landon Martin. Landon found MechaGodzilla's key, the only elaborate superweapon that awakens MechaGodzilla. It occured to Landon that he was planning to kill Maddox and take over Charlotte and spread produce of misery, overwork, and slavery around North and South Carolina. Just as Maddox and his friends entered the Rage Virus's palace, Maddox covered his ears, thinking that the noise from the tunnel is too loud. Maddox's friends panicked and ran for their lives, Maddox grew beserk and with all his might and in vain, he used his plasma powers to deflect the stampede of Anti-Drone Sentinels and Combine Manhacks. Maddox breathed heavily as he felt his hands growing shining cyan, which case they glowed like a torch. His digital hallucinations grew more and more as Maddox developed the most deadliest powers of the AbsoluteSolver. Red transformed into the Rage Virus and snatched Maddox out of his palace, rescuing him from the flood. The Virus transformed back into Red Bird, he was shocked that Maddox passed out again. Uzi is so incredulous that Maddox has got an AbsoluteSolver like hers. So Nate, Khaleal, Sadie, Norman, Savannah Trout, GiAnna, and Dalton took Maddox back to bed.

The next morning, Serial Designation V woke Maddox up and took him to the meeting room, declaring that Maddox must become the new leader himself. Norman finally understood Nori's prophecy too. Tessa Elliott arrived and agreed to join Maddox's army. They need a plan. So the question is: "What can be done?" Serial Designation V brought more Anti-Drone Sentinels and Rage Zombies, much to Maddox's frustration. Red Bird calmed Maddox down and admitted that he has anger issues too. Serial Designation V came to Maddox apologized to Maddox for her wrongdoings. Understanding that Maddox is angry and cold, she comforted him by wrapping a warm blanket around him. Maddox exhaled as he felt the warmth and sadly apologized to V for yelling at her. V told Maddox a story that Tessa found Elizabeth's hidden letter on the trash can. V specifically asked Tessa not to tell J, so V could maintain the secret that Elizabeth was inviting her son over to the laboratory. Although Beth was quite suspicious, but it's weird for her to see Maddox and his friends happy in Charlotte.

Maddox confessed that he caused slaughter on the Rage Zombies during the war, only because he's too tired and hungry to deal with this situation, no matter what the bitter irony is that Maddox could never be set free unless he'll make money himself. Maddox admitted that he's supposed to sentence misbehaving criminals to their deaths, but he hated it, because he's such a selfish, tired, lazy, broken young man. V said that Maddox's not just being lazy and broken, she said that Maddox defeated the Rage Virus and gave Red Bird his soul, brought peace between Charlotte and Loris, recovered memories back to his friends. Although Maddox destroyed the Cube Turret, but he gave him a second chance. V said that Maddox was being helpful to all of his friends, now they want to fight for that hope. Sometimes Maddox had to be sacrificed for the good of many. Red is so upset that he doesn't want Maddox to die. Maddox admitted that he was making sacrifices, but he can't do it, because he doesn't want to be like his mother.

Later on, Maddox was ready to unite with the Rage Zombies and Anti-Drone Sentinels. Uzi and Tessa declared that the universe brought them their beloved friend Maddox as King of Aperture Science. Maddox gave out an eloquent speech to the Zombies and Sentinels that he must destroy MechaGodzilla and save the world. After the speech, Maddox wrote an angsty rebellion song called "Teens of the World", the song about justice and freedom. Tessa, Uzi, N, J, V, Norman, Red, and the Cube Turret are all so delighted as they enjoyed singing it with Maddox over and over.

After the choir, Maddox and his new clan are sure they will win. They're are so much stronger than Landon. Maddox and his friends did many things to get ready for the war. Maddox went to the blacksmith and created a flaming sword that fire elements bestowed upon. Sadie replicated her revolver with laser beams shooting out the end of it. Khaleal invented his own lightsaber to swiftly cleave worthy foes. Nathaniel created a strong punch glove to forcefully wreck the enemies. Dalton created his boots to smash and break the enemy's bones. Savannah created her own Gauntlet based on the Handheld Portal Device and created her glove with retractable steel claws to slash the enemies. Once the clan is ready for the war, Landon Martin sent his Manhack army including the Combine Gunships out of the Rage Virus's palace, and the war party has just begun.

Red Bird transformed into the Rage Virus and grabbed Maddox who hopped onto his back. Maddox rode the Virus inside the palace. The Rage Virus is growing weak, Maddox didn't know where the emergency shut-down lever is. Landon pinned the Virus down and told Maddox that Landon broke Elizabeth's heart, and now he'll kill Maddox for his self-righteousness. Maddox knew how he must banish Landon to the Great Beyond. Maddox grabbed Landon by the neck, borrowed William Afton's last words from the FNaF Movie, stabbed himself in the throat with Landon's pocket knife, then he and Landon both fell off the catwalk and plunged into the deep red water, much to the Rage Virus's dismay. Nori and Uzi's father, Khan Doorman, was surprised and dismayed that Maddox sacrificed himself for the good of many. Maddox's friends are shocked and they all must do something to save Maddox's life.

Landon was furious that Maddox banished him to the Great Beyond and managed to seal Maddox into stone, but Uzi, Khan, Nori, N, Lizzy, J, Thad, Doll, V, Tessa, Khaleal, Sadie, Nate, GiAnna and the others gave Maddox the AbsoluteSolver powers Maddox tried to use. Maddox burst out of the stone and transformed into a superhuman god developing Solver powers, Golden Maddox Monk: King of All Aperture Science. Maddox used all the augmented Solver powers to destroy Landon. Jonathan Monk was set free and he admitted that Cave Johnson was so glad that Maddox made that old man proud. Now, Jonathan and Cave would bestow upon Maddox as the Leader of the Bounty Hunters, King of Aperture Science, and most of all, Resident of Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

Maddox returned to Earth, and the Rage Virus's palace unleashed the golden blue water waves, enveloped the Rage Zombies, turning them back to normal. Everyone was set free. Uzi was so impressed Maddox saved the day. GiAnna, N, and V gave Maddox, Tessa, and Uzi a blessing. So Maddox, Tessa, and Uzi all shared an embrace, sharing the same feelings while Maddox's friends celebrate their victory. Tessa asked what she, Uzi, and Maddox had to do. Maddox said they'll do whatever they want. Uzi dropped her railgun and she and Tessa hugged Maddox as they return home, finally living a happy life in Charlotte with their friends.
