Maddox encountered the derrick and headed to The Enormous Crocodile's lair which was employed by the Infected. When Maddox, Luxo Jr., Bendy, and WALL-E are spotted, this huge croc ordered the infected animals to chase Maddox's butt down. Maddox finally escaped the derrick and headed for Alien Intruder's lair. When Maddox encountered the alien fish, Intruder slammed Maddox to the wall. Maddox is forced to kill the alien fish.

Maddox found out the Rage Virus took one of the cassettes, Norman let Maddox go to the Rage Virus's palace. Maddox's gang continued him to wade across the ocean and to the entrance. Maddox entered the Carrier and got into a throne room. Maddox pressed PLAY on Elizabeth's cassette. Elizabeth on the recording told Maddox about the RV's weakness: The End Cassette would save us all. Before Maddox could place a cassette on the VCR that was beside the throne, the Rage Virus transforms into the beastly version of the Rage Virus himself and chased Maddox down the halls. Maddox reentered the throne room and finally placed the End Cassette on the VCR, the End activates, projecting the videos on the walls, causing the Rage Virus to disintegrate when he sees it.
