* DemotedToExtra: AIM is still able to fight The Chosen One better than most, but it's no longer the main opponent or the one clearly spearheading the defense of the desktop -- those roles are mostly filled by The Dark Lord this time around.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: The Animator's strategy to beat The Chosen One this time around is to create a new stick figure with similar powers and program it to only fight The Chosen One. It makes some headway at first, as The Chosen One is clearly caught off-guard having to fight an equal opponent, but it backfires when The Dark Lord decides to ScrewDestiny, leaving the Animator with ''two'' superpowered stick figures wreaking havoc on his computer.

Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: After creating The Dark Lord, the Animator figures the problem is handled and starts playing Solitaire, only offering token assistance after the battle disrupts his game and then immediately getting back to it. The fact that the Animator is more interested in playing around than helping his creation who's just been defeated convinces The Dark Lord to turn against him.

!!Summary
The Chosen One, still stuck as Alan's ad blocker, frees himself during a scuffle during which the Chosen One wants freedom. Destroying Alan's essay, he ends up meeting Clippy, who helps Alan fight against him, though as he overpowers Clippy, Alan creates a red stick figure called "The Dark Lord" to destroy the Chosen One. Despite the help from Alan's programs, the Dark Lord is defeated, but rather than kill him, the Chosen One convinces him to join in destroying Alan's computer. It ends with the duo creating a massive explosion that causes a fatal blue screen on Alan's computer, terminating it.
