| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In a distant digital desert, Green escapes a glitch entity known as the Void King after stealing a glowing Data Core, triggering a system-wide threat as the creature demands its return; Green reunites with Blue, Red, Yellow, and Purple in the Hub World, where the team learns the Core carries an Alpha-level cipher bound to Green’s code signature and the Void King begins corrupting the city with a massive portal. As glitchborn minions overrun the plaza, the Stick Fighters attempt to defend the grid while Purple discovers only Green can unlock the Core, but the Void King arrives personally, overwhelming the team and nearly destabilizing the Hub. Forced into action, Green instinctively opens the Core, unleashing a surge of golden code that transforms him into a higher-tier combat form and reveals the object to be a legendary Patch Key — a system-cleansing failsafe long thought erased. The Void King retreats after being struck by its purifying blast, warning that his corruption has barely begun; afterward, the team views a hologram from a faceless entity known only as Infinity, who explains that the Patch Key was created to defeat the Void King when he reaches full corruption. Realizing the enemy is currently at just one percent of his eventual power, the Stick Fighters prepare for the inevitable escalation as a new breach triggers and the team rushes out together to face the next threat.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In the North Sector’s digital forest, Blue and Yellow discover that a dormant guardian has transformed into a rare Corruptor-class glitch creature, prompting Green, Red, and Purple to mount a rescue when the pair go silent; the group arrives to find the forest ravaged and the Corruptor pursuing Yellow, and Purple confirms that the monster still contains remnants of its original base-code and can be salvaged. As the Void King briefly manifests through the creature and reveals direct control over its corruption, the team battles to restrain it while Green struggles to channel his unstable Patch Key abilities, eventually unlocking a new “restore” capability that can rewrite corrupted code in short bursts. With the others trapping the Corruptor in a containment formation, Green finally manages to overwrite its core and revert it back to an unconscious forest guardian, proving he can disrupt the Void King’s influence. As the forest stabilizes, Purple detects a far larger threat emerging in Sector West — a Titan-class entity not seen in generations — forcing the Stick Fighters to regroup and prepare for the Void King’s escalating assault on the system.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |In Sector West, the Stick Fighters confront a massive Titan-class entity—an 80-foot corrupted architecture construct whose destruction could destabilize the entire region—forcing Blue to coordinate a desperate assault while Green struggles to control his evolving Patch Key abilities. As Red, Yellow, and Blue launch coordinated high-output attacks and Purple phases inside the Titan using a risky debug-state hack, the corruption infects them mid-operation, leaving Purple partially taken over by the Void King and urging the team to finish the Titan before they lose themselves entirely. With Yellow’s shields failing and Blue critically struck, Green unlocks a stronger “Restore” ability and, using a coordinated strike from the full team, overwrites the Titan’s exposed core, cleansing it in a massive restoration burst that stabilizes the plains. In the aftermath, Purple remains partially corrupted and reveals that the only cure—the mythical Root Patch—lies in the Deep Code, an ancient, dangerous subsystem believed to be the birthplace of the Void King, prompting Green to insist they travel there next.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |As Purple’s corruption worsens and the Hub detects a spontaneous Deep Code breach, the Stick Fighters enter the system’s most ancient and unstable layer in search of the mythical Root Patch that could cure Purple, navigating shifting architecture, collapsing physics, and visions that reveal Green’s mysterious origin as the Patch-Bearer. While the Void King manipulates the realm around them and speaks directly to Green, Purple becomes increasingly consumed by the infection, forcing Green to stabilize the team during a deadly freefall before they reach the Root Chamber, where the Void King manifests and severely injures Red while attempting to claim Green for himself. Desperate, Green seizes the Root Patch despite Blue’s warnings and survives a catastrophic surge of ancient restore-code that forcefully integrates into his body, repelling the Void King but leaving his powers unstable and Purple nearly overtaken by corruption. With time running out and Green still unable to restore them, Purple reveals one final hope—the long-sealed Original Animator’s Archive—warning that it will not remain locked much longer.

Inside the collapsing Archive, Purple succumbs to a feral corrupted state and nearly kills the team before Green’s unstable Root Patch power blasts them unconscious, triggering the Void King to show Green visions of former Patch-Bearers dying as proof that he is merely the last attempt rather than a chosen hero. Rejecting the King’s offer to join him, Green escapes with the team as the Archive disintegrates, carrying a nearly fully corrupted Purple back to the Hub, where their vitals crash and Green—now burning with volatile, uncontrolled power—refuses to accept losing them.

Green’s unstable Root Patch power quickly overloads, leaving him critically weakened, and the battle turns catastrophic when a fully corrupted Purple reappears, kills Red in a violent strike, and unintentionally overwhelms Blue during a desperate attempt to reach her, leaving both fallen while Yellow breaks down in the wreckage. Struggling with guilt and rage, Green unleashes unstable Root Patch energy only for the Void King to exploit his fractured state, partially corrupting him from within and revealing how easily Green’s identity can be rewritten. By the end of the assault, the Hub lies in ruins, Purple is nearly overtaken by corruption, Red and Blue are dead, Yellow is devastated, and Green—half glowing white, half flickering with void corruption—confesses his terror that a part of him welcomed the King’s influence, leaving the team shattered as the Void King watches from the distance, unchallenged.

While Yellow tends to them, Apex Core patrols sweep the sector with armored convoys and scanning drones, forcing the trio to attempt an escape through an underground market, but Purple’s unstable corruption alerts a drone and triggers a full corporate pursuit. The three flee through the streets as Apex Enforcers fire stun blasts and deploy nets; Yellow’s shield collapses, Purple falls, and Yellow takes a blast intended for her, prompting Green to unleash an uncontrolled surge of energy that destroys nearby drones and plunges the area into darkness. Barely able to move, they retreat into an abandoned subway station, where Yellow struggles to stabilize Purple and Green fights the spread of his corruption until a glowing crescent-moon symbol reveals they are not alone. A former Apex soldier named Lira Hale approaches and explains that Apex Core is hunting them as “breach fugitives” because the corporation created the technology that brought them into this world and now intends to capture and dissect them, leading Yellow to demand a way to fight back as Lira offers to bring them into the resistance.

| | ShortSummary = Yellow awakens in an abandoned subway station where she, Green, and the heavily corrupted Purple recover under the wary assistance of Lira Hale, a former Apex Core soldier who reveals that Apex Core classifies the Stick Fighters as “Anomalous Constructs” and intends to duplicate them as living weapons. As Green struggles to stand and Purple deteriorates further, Lira explains that a nearby Apex facility contains medical and analytical data that could help stabilize them, prompting the group to travel across a heavily surveilled city dominated by drones, propaganda, and corporate patrols. After reaching the Sector 4 Bio-Analytics Lab, they infiltrate the building to access diagnostic systems, only to be ambushed by Apex Enforcers who confirm the trio’s identities and attempt to seize them. A stun blast incapacitates Yellow, triggering Green’s corrupted side to surge violently until he loses control and releases a destructive energy wave that disables the Enforcers and tears through the facility. Yellow manages to ground him before he overloads completely, allowing the group to flee the collapsing lab as alarms echo across multiple sectors. Back at the subway refuge, the team barely stabilizes Purple and Green while Yellow realizes that running is no longer an option, declaring that Apex Core’s domination of the city demands resistance and vowing to lead a revolution against the corporation.

| | ShortSummary = A convoy at an Apex Core train depot unloads sealed “Archive Asset Transfer” crates containing dormant Legacy Units, old experimental software-based humanoids that reactivate with distorted CRT voices, prompting Apex personnel to handle them cautiously. In the subway refuge, Yellow clashes with Lira over the team’s deteriorating condition while Green’s corruption worsens and Purple, barely conscious, warns that “the old ones” are coming. When they flee through the city, a Legacy Unit—Error.exe—drops into their path and identifies them as “Anomalous Constructs,” soon joined by three more units: Filemaster 95, Guardian AV, and the unsettling Assistant-Clip. The four software weapons attack with glitched static, data pulses, file-like projectiles, and scanning beams, forcing the fugitives into a desperate retreat across collapsing streets and into an underground parking structure where Yellow uses falling debris to briefly separate their pursuers. As the group hides, Lira reveals that the Legacy Units were sealed because Apex Core once attempted to weaponize entire digital systems, and their revival signals Apex’s intent to dominate not just their own world but every connected one, treating the Stick Fighters’ existence as proof that inter-world extraction and exploitation are possible. Realizing they were never random anomalies but the result of an Apex experiment, Yellow prepares to confront the Legacy Units alone to buy time for Green, Purple, and Lira to escape deeper into the garage as the four reactivated constructs descend toward her in the dark.

As Yellow stalls the Units with improvised weapons and collapsing debris, Green suffers another near-loss of control from his expanding corruption, stabilized only briefly by Purple’s touch; determined not to let Yellow die alone, he charges into the fight and shields her despite the risk of overloading. The Legacy Units begin closing in again until Purple, barely conscious and glitching violently, drags herself up the ramp and strikes Error.exe with a corrupted burst, drawing all four Units’ attention and warning that her instability might cause a catastrophic surge if she loses control. Refusing to abandon one another, the group executes a retreat while the Legacy Units silently watch from the garage entrance rather than pursue. Outside at dawn, Purple reveals that before fleeing the Apex lab she saw a file labeled “Reversion Protocol,” implying that Apex Core has research capable of reversing corruption, prompting Lira to explain that such master protocols would be stored in the corporation’s central tower. Despite their injuries and Green’s fear that he may not survive the coming episodes, Yellow vows that none of them are dying and commits the team to infiltrating the Apex Core Central Tower to find the cure.

| | ShortSummary = Yellow leads Green, Purple, and Lira toward an abandoned power facility as Green’s corruption accelerates and Purple senses their deteriorating conditions syncing, pushing the group to reach Apex Core’s Central Tower where Lira believes the “Reversion Protocol” is stored. After infiltrating the skyscraper through maintenance corridors and climbing an elevator shaft while both corrupted fighters barely hold their forms together, they reach a data vault revealing that the Reversion Protocol is indeed a cure designed specifically for the three of them—but incomplete, with the final component stored in a hidden lab and requiring a “Golden Signature,” which the system identifies as Yellow herself. The group learns that activating the cure demands harvesting energy from Yellow’s shield generator in a process that would permanently disable—and effectively sacrifice—her, leaving Green and Purple devastated as Yellow quietly accepts the possibility if it means saving them. Before the group can process the revelation, upgraded versions of the Legacy Units—Error.exe 2.0, Filemaster 95 2.0, Guardian AV 2.0, and Assistant-Clip 2.0—storm the vault under orders to extract Yellow and eliminate the others, triggering a brutal fight in which the heroes are overwhelmed as the Units rapidly adapt to their tactics. Yellow orders a retreat, with Green unleashing unstable blasts to slow their pursuers and Purple nearly collapsing as they flee through a maintenance tunnel, managing to seal the door moments before the Legacy Units begin battering it down. Exhausted and barely holding together, the group regroups in the tunnel where Purple pleads with Yellow not to sacrifice herself, and Yellow vows that all three of them will be cured as they prepare for the final confrontation to secure the Reversion Protocol.

| | ShortSummary = Yellow leads the collapsing Green and nearly fading Purple through an underground service tunnel toward the hidden Reversion Chamber beneath the Apex Core tower, learning that the cure is real but time is running out as both fighters begin to destabilize. Inside the chamber, the system confirms that the Reversion Protocol can restore all three Stick Fighters, but only through an irreversible extraction of Yellow’s shield-generator energy, leaving her powerless; before the group can decide, the upgraded Legacy Units breach the chamber, followed by Agent, Hazard, Primal, and Ballista, all ordered to capture Yellow and eliminate the others. Outnumbered and overpowered as the forces close in, Yellow chooses to activate the Golden Signature port herself, triggering the extraction that unleashes a blinding golden blast which vaporizes Hazard’s clones, stuns the villains, forces the Legacy Units into reboot, and floods Green and Purple with restorative energy that burns away every trace of corruption. The shockwave obliterates the chamber and hurls everyone clear of the tower, and at dawn Green awakens fully cured, Purple stable and whole for the first time, and Lira watching over Yellow—alive but powerless, her shield emitter gone and her aura extinguished. With Apex Core scattered and the villains recovering elsewhere, the three vow to protect Yellow and face whatever comes next, stepping into the sunrise as a unified, healed team while Yellow remains unconscious but safe.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #F4A460" |Green carries the unconscious and powerless Yellow across the ruined outskirts at pre-dawn with Purple and Lira as newly healed survivors, sheltering inside a collapsed barn where he keeps vigil until Yellow finally stirs just as a deep, unsettling hum ripples through the ground. The group experiences a series of strange tremors around the barn and learns from Lira’s old Apex records that the Reversion Protocol was not originally built by Apex Core but uncovered from an older failed world-crossing experiment that awakened something buried beneath this reality. When Yellow regains consciousness, she reveals she feels tied to the tremors, her body resonating with an ancient force that replaced her lost powers during the cure. The hum intensifies and the ground distorts as Agent arrives fully recovered, intent on reclaiming the trio for Victim and drawn by the changes within Yellow; he tests Green’s new stability with a geometric trap blast that scatters the group before attempting to seize Yellow himself. A sudden shockwave bursts out of Yellow’s chest, repelling Agent and triggering massive cracks across the landscape as the ancient presence stirs more violently. Agent retreats after realizing Yellow’s condition is linked to whatever Apex once unearthed. Once the dust clears, Green, Purple, and Lira regroup around Yellow as she confesses that the awakening force is calling to her and that staying near them may endanger them, while the ground pulses again and a colossal shape shifts beneath the soil, signaling the rise of something primordial now connected to Yellow.

Increasingly unstable and frightened by a pull she cannot control, Yellow confesses that the presence beneath the earth feels familiar, and as tremors intensify the trio relocates to an abandoned substation where Yellow breaks down, terrified that her bond to the entity may have strengthened through the cure. Agent reappears inside a ruined factory, warning that an awakening force has “chosen” Yellow and will soon surface, testing the newly cured Green with a geometric trap blast before vanishing. That night, Yellow returns to the glowing field and makes contact with the consciousness beneath it, collapsing as a massive eruption tears open the ground and forms a vast crater. Inside the dust and shaking earth, the Void King reappears—burned, cracked, partially corrupted, and infused with the same ancient force stirring beneath the world—pinning Yellow with a gaze that identifies her as the cause of his resurrection. When Green attempts to shield her, he is effortlessly blasted aside as the Void King announces that he has risen because of Yellow, lifts an arm that fractures the sky itself, and proclaims dominion as Yellow realizes with horror that her connection to the awakening entity has brought back the enemy they thought they destroyed.

At a ruined safehouse, Lira discovers that Yellow’s vitals spike whenever the subterranean tremors occur, confirming that the cure replaced her lost powers with an ancient force tied to the buried entity that now shares its essence with the resurrected Void King. As they relocate through industrial ruins, Hazard, Primal, and Ballista reappear with self-made upgrades and attack, targeting Yellow for the power brewing inside her; the group is overwhelmed as Primal crushes Green, Ballista absorbs Purple’s energy, and Hazard disables Lira. The rising pulses from below overload Yellow until she collapses screaming, triggering a massive uncontrolled shockwave that blasts all combatants apart and briefly levitates her as a distorted voice claims she “belongs to the King.” The villains retreat in alarm after witnessing her transformation, and Green drags himself to Yellow’s unconscious body, realizing she is becoming something neither cured nor corrupted but fused with the ancient presence beneath the world. On a distant rooftop, Hazard, Ballista, and Primal regroup and conclude that Yellow is now a living conduit whose awakening power will draw both Agent and the Void King, prompting them to strike first and seize her before the subterranean force fully manifests.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #F4A460" |Green carries the burning, unstable Yellow into an abandoned power station as golden energy pulses violently beneath her skin, and Lira realizes the energy is cycling as if something beneath the world is feeding into her and feeding back. When Yellow awakens, she accidentally throws Purple across the floor with new uncontrolled strength and reveals that the Void King is not only alive but rebuilding himself underground through a connection that now runs through her, causing her heartbeat to trigger street-level tremors as the group flees through the darkened city. Hazard, Primal, and Ballista ambush them with self-made upgrades, intent on taking Yellow for the ancient force inside her, but Agent appears and declares he no longer serves Apex Core, instead obeying the Void King, whom he calls his new master; he effortlessly defeats the other villains, kneels before Yellow, and announces he is there to bring the “Spark” home. As Yellow’s condition spirals and she levitates uncontrollably while speaking in the Void King’s layered voice, Green and Purple cling to her to stop her from being pulled into a widening fissure, while Agent receives a silent command and departs to prepare the world for the King’s emergence. In the outskirts, Agent kneels at a massive sinkhole to the Void King himself—now a colossal subterranean presence—who orders Yellow delivered to the Waking Depths so the world can break and his full form can rise, revealing that Yellow is becoming not a vessel but a gateway. Across the region, a massive earthquake erupts as Yellow trembles in Green’s arms and hears the Void King’s voice echo through the land, calling to his “Spark” and promising his imminent arrival.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #F4A460" |Yellow moves through a dead forest as tremors pulse beneath her feet, drawing her, Green, Purple, and Lira to the abandoned battlefield from 2025 where one of their earliest major fights took place, the ruined server-fortress now glitching itself back into shape as though replaying the world’s buried memories while echoes of old combat flicker through the halls. The ground responds to Yellow’s presence with rhythmic pulses that mirror the Void King’s heartbeat deep below, pulling at her until the floor collapses into a widening crater and the Void King rises fully reformed—towering, white-armored, rebuilt with earth and corrupted code—fixating on Yellow as his “Spark” and claiming she alone can carry his wake because she survived what erased others, dragging her toward him with invisible force while Green and Purple fight to hold her back. His form briefly flickers with a strange golden glitch before stabilizing, and Agent appears beside him with white eyes, bowing as he reports that preparations are complete; the Void King begins “phase two,” sending violent pulses through Yellow that leave her screaming as he explains that awakening what lies beneath her skin is the final step toward his full return. The ground collapses again as the Void King and Agent retreat into a fissure, the world falls eerily silent, and Yellow collapses unconscious in Green’s arms with her skin glowing dangerously while the others realize the King is awakening through her and Green whispers in fear, unsure what she’s becoming.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #F4A460" |Yellow lies unconscious as golden cracks spread across her skin and her pulse locks into the underground tremors, forcing Green, Purple, and Lira to escape the collapsing ruins just as the Void King moves beneath them; when Yellow jolts awake, the energy in her chest syncs perfectly with each tremor, proving the King is almost fully merged with both the world and her. The Void King erupts from a vast chasm in his complete form, warping the land with the same golden force raging inside Yellow, and Agent—rebuilt and controlled by the King—attacks with emotionless precision until a broken memory flickers through him, giving Hazard, Primal, and Ballista the moment they need to crash into the fight and slow him down. Green throws himself at Agent with vicious desperation to keep him from taking Yellow, but once Yellow understands that the King cannot be stopped while his power lives inside her, she rips free from Green’s grip and forces herself into the glowing fissure, confronting the King directly. She reverses the connection, pushing every fragment of his energy back into him in a violent surge that splits his armor, fractures his form, and implodes him into golden dust as the earth seals shut. Yellow collapses afterward with her heartbeat restored and the glow fading, Green holds her crying with relief, Purple clings to her hand, Agent lies glitching and defeated, the Rogue Villains watch in stunned silence, and the world finally settles as the last echoes of the King’s power fade from the sky.

| | colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #734785" |Months after the Void King’s collapse, the world slowly rebuilds and Green struggles to understand who he is without a threat on the horizon while Yellow recovers in a med-center, weakened but finally free of the energy that nearly killed her, and Purple and Lira keep her grounded as she adjusts to life without being a walking catastrophe. Meanwhile, Hazard, Primal, and Ballista hide in an abandoned yard trying to figure out their identities now that they serve no master, turning from chaotic villains into lost characters searching for purpose, and Agent sits chained in a detention facility with a clear mind for the first time in years, admitting the King twisted him and quietly asking for a chance to repair the damage he caused even as Green refuses to trust him. During a public announcement celebrating rebuilding efforts, a mysterious device interrupts the ceremony with a hologram marked by a black triangle symbol, revealing a calm, human figure known only as the Director who declares that the world isn’t free but unstable and claims he will impose order whether the Stick Fighters stand aside or fall in his way, triggering panic throughout the city as drones rise under his command. Yellow watches in fear of the new threat not because of cosmic power but because this one is human and tactical, and as the crowd scatters and tension ignites across the skyline, Green finally stands with clarity and resolve, knowing he must prepare for a grounded enemy who can’t be out-blasted or outrun — one who will challenge everything they’ve built since the world began healing.
