Summary

Wandering on the computer, The Second Coming finds the Minecraft icon back again, likely because Alan reinstalled it. He takes it and start taking items, and his friends quickly join him. However when Red arrives they start to fear he would get possessed once again, so they prepare many traps to kill him if that would happen, before giving him the block. Red starts acting like he is possessed, but then spawns some rabbits. Blue smacks him in the face.

Tropes

  • Aesop Amnesia: Downplayed; the Second Coming seems a little too eager to be able to play around with Minecraft again, considering the problems it caused last time. However, the stick figures make sure to set up all the necessary precautions before handing the cube to Red, in case he gets possessed again.
  • Call-Back: Picks up after the events of "vs. Minecraft", and includes several flashbacks to it. The stick figures are also shown to maintain the same interests in the game they did before, judging by the items they obtain from the creative inventory when they first get the icon back—The Second Coming prefers crafting, Green prefers building structures, Yellow prefers building redstone contraptions, Blue prefers growing plants, and Red is implied to prefer spawning mobs.
  • Dope Slap: After Red fakes everyone out into thinking he was possessed again before spawning harmless rabbits (and appearing a little too pleased with himself for that), Blue takes off his diamond helmet and smacks Red upside the head with it.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Everyone's reaction to Red's fakeout above, especially Blue.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: The flashbacks reveal that Red went Brainwashed and Crazy in "vs. Minecraft".
  • Mass "Oh, Crap!": Once The Second Coming reveals that he recovered the Minecraft icon, the other stick figures immediately freak out and try to get rid of it.
  • No Kill like Overkill: Before letting Red try out Minecraft again, the others deck themselves out in diamond armor and set up several deathtraps—jungle saplings ready to be grown, TNT ready to fall, and arrow dispensers ready to fire — so they can neutralize him quickly should he go Brainwashed and Crazy again.
  • Troll: Red is shown to be a bit of one. After spazzing out and getting in the same posture to scroll through the creative inventory that he did when he was brainwashed(the latter almost freaks Yellow out into firing at him before The Second Coming stops him), he pulls out a spawn egg, causing everyone to duck for cover...and Red just spawns rabbits.
