Story

Battling through Life is Destroy, Touchdown eventually comes face to face with Mr. Doppelganger, who questions why Touchdown, also a killer, would stand in his way. Touchdown disagrees with Doppelganger's claims of professionalism, saying he is simply psychotic. He goes on to belittle Life is Destroy and its developer, however Doppelganger disagrees, giving praise to the developer before cryptically adding that they created each other. Touchdown loses his patience with Doppelganger's deluded regard for himself and a fight ensues.

During their battle, Touchdown wounds Doppelganger multiple times, causing him to try new attacks against Touchdown. After more damage another phase begins and Touchdown jokingly ponders aloud if Doppelganger will mutate into a hulking monster. Doppelganger replies that a transformation was suggested by the developer but was scrapped over concerns with the game's specs.

When he is defeated by Touchdown, Doppelganger uses his position as Touchdown's victim to assert that they really are alike. Touchdown does not back down and continues to accuse Doppelganger of simply being a greedy killer made worse by his lack of human emotion. Both debate for a short time whether or not this is true before Touchdown prepares to finish Doppelganger for good. Now facing death, Doppelganger panics and calls for his mother but begins to laugh maniacally when Touchdown calls his cries pathetic. White Sheepman arrives, disclosing to Touchdown that the Doppelganger in the real world is still at large, before expelling Touchdown from the game.

Contemplating his fight with Doppelganger later, Touchdown again reflects on how empty Doppelganger's killing instincts were, motivated by nothing more than ending life. Remembering White Sheepman's words, he notes that the real Doppelganger is still on the run, likely searching for his daughter. Klark reveals to Touchdown in a later fax that Dr. Juvenile is the real Doppelganger's adoptive daughter, explaining Mr. Doppelganger's affection for the Life is Destroy developer and his previously cryptic claim that he created her and she created him.
