Summary
Strolling across Alan's computer, Second Coming discovers Minecraft and the power its icon has to create anything, using it to build a cabin for himself. SC shows the to other stickmen, and they quickly get the hang of the rules, building many different structures with the icon. However, when Yellow shows the icon to Red, he suddenly turns hostile and steals it for himself before fleeing into Alan's storage file.They then use the materials of the structures to arm and prepare themselves for the fight. Entering the storage folder, they find it infested with monsters, and during the fight, discover an entrance to where Red is hiding. They confront and fight him, discovering that he's been possessed by something. They are crushed, and are forced to retreat before they get killed, having lost most of their weapons and armor. Despite this, everyone works together to separate Red from the Minecraft icon, allowing SC to toss it into the Recycle Bin and undoing everything, freeing Red as well. After making up with everyone for going crazy, Yellow finds the League of Legends icon.
Tropes:
- Boring, but Practical: When Possessed!Red builds a cobblestone mecha, Blue fails to pierce it with arrows from his dispenser-turned-machine-gun and Red just extinguishes Yellow's TNT grenades. Then Green and the Second Coming just start mining it down, which works great until Red rebuilds his mecha with obsidian.
- Cerebus Syndrome: Instead of the Animator duking it out with one of his stick figure creations, 4 out of the 5 have to fight their possessed friend and come very close to losing.
- Chekhov's Gun: Early on, one of the first things Blue does is accidentally launch himself in the air by growing a jungle tree. He uses this at the end to destroy Red's obsidian mech.
- The items the Second Coming creates when he is given an inventory-load of items turn out to be useful for when they go inside the STORAGE folder.
- Chekhov's Skill: The Second Coming is the only one to figure out crafting and is able to do so very rapidly, the structures Green (functioning windmill) and Yellow (beacon and colored pistons) build show their ingenuity, and Blue takes an interest in the plant growing mechanics. All of these play a role in the final showdown.
- Crazy-Prepared: Why did The Second Coming think they'd need fishing rods? Especially since those same materials could have been used to make spare bows instead.
- Demonic Possession: Red, by Herobrine.
- Funny Background Event: In the "STORAGE" and "STUFF" folders, pay attention to the filenames. Highlights include: "chords-empty room", "Behind You-Lyrics", and "How to Pull Off a Triple Spin Combo"(best seen when a stick figure is doing just that) in "STORAGE", and "Ninja Ambush", "Required Essay" and "The Ultimate Showdown" in "STUFF"
- Good-Times Montage: The Second Coming has one while Possessed!Red is beating him to within an inch of his life, remembering all the good times the pair had together.
- Here We Go Again!: At the end of the episode, Yellow steps on the League of Legends icon on the toolbar, causing it to open a HUD in the same way the Minecraft toolbar did at the start of the episode.
- MacGuffin Melee : At the climax, Both !Possesed Red and the Second Coming and his friends fight for the Minecraft Block.
- Reset Button: Tossing the Minecraft icon into the recycle bin causes all the blocks created from it to go away.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: When the stick figures are fighting the skeleton ambush, a creeper appears after some of the skeletons are blown up with TNT. It starts off looking down at the figures, pan down to the stick figures, pan over to the remaining skeletons, and pan back to the figures with the creeper now standing among them. (And in front of Yellow too, yet Yellow doesn't spot it immediately.)
- World-Healing Wave: A concussive shockwave knocks the stick figures to the ground as it shatters all the Minecraft elements and repairs the damage to the normal interface.
