Plot Summary
Part 1: Stalking Ms. Z
Masamune hosts a Party Goers reunion at New Atlantis, though only Yoshiman and Flutter show up. Also in attendance is the mysterious Ms. Z; before Masamune can ask for her true identity, Mega Man X shows up and gives her a chance to skip out. Ditching X, who fuses himself with Dargo to become Dargo-X, the remaining three and Rhykette head to Office Max to make posters for stalking the lady with. There they recruit the Kirby of Death and Retro, while Dargo-X receives unlikely help in catching the crew from Sub-Boss, who is using X to keep the others distracted.
At McDonalds, the group encounters a number of Luigi 64 Masks looking for GORE-ILLA and sacrifice Flutter and Yoshiman to escape. In doing so they abandon the S.S. Swordefeller, which Dargo-X steals before being accosted by Fera. Getting a ride from Penny, the hikers pick up GORE to keep an eye on him, along with Luiigii and Vorpal after they return to the hunt at Arab Dude's store. There they discover the Shrack of Neely, which they use to send a number of their former antagonists to prison (along with ones that had already been arrested under the McCloaker Administration).
On orders from Sub-Boss, Dark Ditto and Murasame free the villains and form the Sweet Sixteen. While the Luigi 64 Masks hunt for President McCloaker, the Sixteen steal the Shrack of Neely from the Gamehikers and get them arrested on accusations of releasing the villains. They are then tasked by Sub-Boss to collect four more plot devices. While the Luigi 64 Masks are redirected to take Quez from Big Al, the Sixteen splits into four groups and faces off against the four Elemental Warriors, all of them returning victorious. The Gamehikers are released from prison to stop them.
With the plot devices in hand, Ms. Z reveals that Sub-Boss's plan is to resurrect Luigi 64, causing a split among the villains. She escapes with the Shrack of Neely in the wake of the in-fighting, but Sub-Boss reveals himself to be S.Golem and uses the Akujin Eye to neutralize his oppressors and catch up to her. The Gamehikers get involved, but are too late to stop the resurrection; when S.Golem takes it a step further and revives Isis via Ms. Z, they attempt to retreat. KoD, Retro, Rhykette, Dargo-X, and Fera escape into a portal, leaving the rest to their fates.

Homages and Trivia
(Yes there's already trivia)

- Also, the dystopian future partially parodies the Subspace RPG's Five Years Later plotline.
- Party Goers References
- Zora, Cindy, and Luigi 64 were in the original Party Goers and consequently Golem's first friends. Yoshiman, Flutter, and Big Al appeared in other early stories.

- Member OG References
- Chief Sigmund is a minor character from Member OG 7.
- The Four Elemental Warriors (Introbulus, Cerulea, Saru, and Mirawk) appear to protect the four plot devices that also originated from that series.
- In prison, some minor MOG villains are seen, like Shade, Koopa, Yahtzee Dubloons and others. Sergeant Shy Guy is also mentioned due to Masa's confusion as to whether or not he is a villain.
- Mega Mega Extreme Doki Doki Panik
- Ditto McCloaker becoming president refers to Mega Mega Extreme Doki Doki Panik. The Gamehikers visited that timeline in Gamehiker Member OG VIII.
- Dodo is now the Secretary of State in the Ditto Administration. In the MMEDDP series, he was the Secretary of Education.
- One of the potential villains that Vorpal suggests is an Axis of Ebil of terrorist nations funded by Santa Claus. This was in fact the plot of Mega Mega Extreme Doki Doki Panik 4: The Axis of Ebil.
- Epic Goers
- Retro Belmont suggests Clyde as a potential villain that could be responsible for the Sweet Sixteen. Clyde is in fact a major villain in the Epic Goers series of which Retro is a main character.
- Retro complains that office supply powers, while extremely useful, are silly compared to Pixels, which are the source of Retro's powers in Epic Goers
- Fera Praag's inclusion, as well as references to her being more interesting when she's pregnant, refer to Epic Goers.
