The Three meet up with their friend Map, who has a Spaceship so the Three can go to Copper-9, but a Thief named Crystal gets onto the Spaceship as JCJenson troops invade the lab and capture Map, forcing Blocky to take off without her. when they get there, they are attacked by the Disassembly Drone, V, but she is stopped by her friend, N, who convinces her to ally with Blocky to save Uzi and Tune. After the Six escape from Doll and a Bounty Hunter named The Crimson Hood, Blocky and Crystal begin to work on a plan and start falling for one another.

They arrive at a place on Earth called Port Aurora where a JCJenson base is, but Blocky and V argue when V finds out that Blocky has been secretly planning to break in on his own, which makes Blocky leave the group. Blocky fights Doll, but loses and gets captured. The Five storm the JCJenson HQ just as Tune, Uzi, Map, and Blocky are about to be killed. Deca-Man, Phone, and Crystal save Tune, Uzi, Map, and Blocky. when he finds out about the breach, James gets into a Armored Robot and leaves JCJenson HQ with Two of his Employees and heads toward Objectopia Tower, ready to unleash the Non-Human Killing Gas on everyone in the city. Blocky, Phone, and Deca-Man fight him while Crystal, Map, Uzi, N, Tune and V evacuate citizens. Just as James is about to lose, He knocks Phone and Deca-Man off the Tower, and sends both himself and Blocky onto a Airship with Crystal following close behind.

Blocky and James have their final showdown on the Airship with Crystal and Doll providing backup. just as Blocky is about to lose, the others, having stopped the gas, arrive to aid him as Blocky, Phone, Deca-Man, Map, and Tune fight and presumably kill James with him yelling “I’LL BE BACK!”. The Group escape the Airship with Blocky almost dying as he stays behind to save the 2 workers. The Group then go their separate ways after a rooftop party with Tune and Crystal fusing together and returning with the drones to Copper-9 with Deca-Man inviting Phone and Map to join the Suicide Squad. Just as Tune and Crystal are about to leave with the drones, Blocky jumps into the ship as the door closes. It cuts to the ruins of the Airship on a deserted island as a lifeless James awakens and stands up, revealing that he’s alive.

In a mid-credits scene, Yin-Yang and Snowball are about to leave a bar when a creepy Jax plush appears on the other side of the door and scares them. In a post-credits scene, The Objects United discover that Blocky’s actions have opened up small cracks in the multiverse.
