* TheWorfEffect: In "The Virus", a single [=ViraBot=] is capable of holding off the five second-gen stick figures and the animator, and nearly defeats them. Here, an entire army of [=ViraBots=] appears as little more than a collective speed bump due to the Chosen One's immense power and the Second Coming's EleventhHourSuperpower.

Alan himself said he hasn't decide if The Dark Lord died. I doubt the reference where intended.

* ShoutOut: When The Dark Lord put on the band that added a [=ViraBot's=] powers to his own, his main weapon is bladed energy, similar to [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Goku Black]].
** When Second Coming unlocks his powers and fights The Dark Lord and the [=ViraBots=], his energy is green, just like Broly.

!!Summary
Now in the internet, the Chosen One confronts and attacks the Dark Lord before he can launch more of his [=ViraBots=], starting a fight of epic proportions. Meanwhile, as the Second Coming and the other stick figures check out the Dark Lord's base, Red accidentally activates the gates to other parts of the internet, which the Chosen One and the Dark Lord go into and fight all across the internet. The Dark Lord soon gains an upper hand by equipping the tether he built to control the [=ViraBots=], overpowering the Chosen One.\\\
Yellow hacks the Dark Lord's computer, and sends a message to Alan to ask for his help, which he accepts and the Dark Lord's computer creates a mouse for him to use in the fight, leveling the playing field until the Dark Lord awakens the [=ViraBots=], destroying Alan's mouse and overwhelming the Chosen One. Wanting to help, the others decide to help and fight the Dark Lord, only to be quickly crushed by him and everyone but the Second Coming and the Chosen One are deleted by the Dark Lord, as the Second Coming withstands the deletion process, and is then ruthlessly trashed by the Dark Lord. Despite all hope being lost, the Second Coming awakens his Chosen One powers and kills all [=ViraBots=] and the Dark Lord. Afterwards, the Second Coming uses his powers to bring back everyone deleted by the Dark Lord, and it ends SC passing out and Alan taking him and the FSF back home as the Second Coming thanks the Chosen One for everything.
