While helping Alan animate, a mysterious virus called ViraBot shows up and takes over his computer. When deleting it won't work, the Second Coming tries to smash it by using a hammer. This causes the program to open up and reveal a red spider monster that begins erasing everything it bites. It soon overpowers everyone, and just as it's about to delete the stick figures, from an explosion, a familiar stick figure, the Chosen One, returns, and prepares to fight the virus.
Tropes:
- All Your Base Are Belong to Us: A virus called "ViraBot" infects Alan's computer.
- The Assimilator: When The Second Coming first opens the Start menu, most of the default programs (such as for music and photos) have been replaced with things like "ViraTunes"
- Big Damn Heroes: At the end, when all of the stick figures have been trapped, the animator is stuck out of the computer and the virus is advancing victorious, the original Chosen One arrives to help stop ViraBot.
- The Bus Came Back: After his very long absence, Animator finally comes back in the series, and the original Chosen One comes back as well.
- Computer Virus: ViraBot, which infects Alan's computer and plans to destroy everything.
- Continuity Nod:
- The Second Coming draws stickmen to help Alan with his animation, akin to how Victim copied himself to destroy the desktop in the first animation.
- After ViraBot destroys Alan's cursor, he tries to retrieve a new one like he did in 4. ("Tries" being the keyword here—ViraBot stops the attempt by destroying the Start menu.)
- Darkest Hour: ViraBot deletes the cursor and blocks off Alan from creating a new one, as well as trapping the stick figures in webbing.
- Four-Legged Insect: Virabot, which is odd because its desktop icon showed eight legs.
- Forced to Watch: After ViraBot destroys Alan's mouse cursor and stops him from making a new one, all he can do is watch as ViraBot easily subdues the stick figures and closes in on Second Coming for the kill. Downplayed in that no-one's forcing Alan to stay and watch, but it's not hard to understand why he wouldn't want to walk away and leave his friends to their fate.
- Heat Wave: When the Second Coming goes to recruit his friends to help fight ViraBot, they're shown to be feeling the computer's abnormally high temperature — Yellow's wiping sweat off his face with a cloth, Red's fanning himself, and Blue and Green are sprawled out in clear discomfort.
- Heel–Face Turn: Given that it destroyed Alan's previous computer beyond repair, this apparently happened to the original Chosen One when it arrives to stop ViraBot from doing the same.
- Mythology Gag: Second Coming draws a bunch of missiles with the pencil to hit ViraBot with. This was the Animation's primary attack when using the pencil in the web game, albeit that it drew tiny ones that time.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Almost literal; while ViraBot was already doing damage to the computer itself regardless, it isn't until Second Coming hits its desktop icon with a hammer, cracking it open and releasing ViraBot, that it becomes an actual threat to the stick figures and the interface.
- Oh, Crap!: When Alan and Second Coming notice that the computer is abnormally hot, the former checks the Task Manager and finds ViraBot using up 97% of the CPU.
- Projectile Webbing: When faced with all of the stick figures at once, ViraBot produces large blobs of sticky webbing from its mouth and spits them at its foes, enveloping them in tough strands and sticking them to the computer screen's walls.
- Triumphant Reprise: The intro music is a lighter, more upbeat version of the intro music from 4, which was the last time we saw the Animator.
- Wham Shot: Just when ViraBot was about to kill The Second Coming, a flash appears, from which The Chosen One comes out and then proceeds to fight the virus.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Second Coming draws a couple of (relatively crude, compared to him and his friends) stick figures to help him with Alan's latest animation, only for them to be returned to the pencil tool as soon as they're done. Nothing is made of the implications of a stick figure casually making and then erasing other stick figures, although they do willingly jump back inside the pencil.
