The Alan Becker
46
The Creation of Chaos
The story begins years after Alan's first skirmish with the original Victim. Alan, looking to push the boundaries of AI, creates The Chosen One (TCO). TCO isn't just a stick figure; he’s a powerhouse designed to resist deletion.
Naturally, TCO goes rogue, trashes the desktop, and eventually escapes into the vast world of the internet.
The Rise of The Dark Lord
Feeling the need to fight fire with fire, Alan creates a second elite stick figure: The Dark Lord (TDL). His mission? Hunt down TCO.
Alan equips TDL with a specialized "Virablade" toolset, but he makes a classic creator mistake—he gives TDL too much autonomy. Instead of capturing TCO, the two stick figures realize they have more in common with each other than with the "human" behind the screen. They team up and vanish into the web.
The ViraBot War
Years pass in silence until TDL returns, but he’s changed. While TCO found peace, TDL became obsessed with destruction. He developed ViraBots—spider-like red viruses capable of deleting entire websites.
* The Conflict: TDL wants to wipe out the internet; TCO wants to stop him.
* The Intervention: This is where the Second Coming (the orange stick figure) and his four friends (Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green) get dragged in.
* The Twist: During the final battle, when it looks like TDL has won, the Second Coming triggers an "Awakened" state. His hollow eyes glow green, and he unleashes a level of cosmic power that completely vaporizes TDL and his virus army.
The Legacy
The story ends with a bittersweet truce. Alan realizes these beings aren't just programs—they're alive. He stops trying to control them and instead starts living with them. The Second Coming stays on Alan's PC as an assistant and friend, while The Chosen One remains a nomad, guarding the internet from the shadows.
