Complete story — includes the ending

Believing Rusty to be dead, Hatred sends the boys to their godfathers. Dean goes to live with Colonel Gentleman, who has him document his old stories for his memoirs. Hank goes to Boca Raton to live with the Action Man in his retirement community, where they bury Entmann after the Action Man accidentally crushed him with his rocking chair. To fulfill a Team Venture tradition, he urinates on the grave, and has Hank, the youngest present, defecate on it. Hank helps him win over his love interest, Billy's mother. Hatred reluctantly asks 21 for help infiltrating the Cocoon and finding Rusty, but soon takes a liking to him. While one of the moppets catches Hatred and convinces him that 21 sold him out, 21 convinces the henchmen that the moppets killed 24. The Monarch repeatedly attempts to torture Rusty, but all of them fail. He gives up and decides to let him go, but claims to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch that he broke Rusty's will and grew tired of him. Just as 21 returns to The Monarch, Hatred launches a missile at the Cocoon in revenge for his supposed betrayal, and the downed Cocoon crashes into The Monarch's house and destroys it. Post-credits scene: The Monarch moves into his childhood Newark home with 21 and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. Entmann's body is relocated to the compound. Hank asks Dean what has been troubling him, and he reveals that they are clones, but Hank is delighted by this, which seems to cheer Dean up. As those present urinate on the grave, Hank, realizing Dean is slightly younger than him, excitedly says "you're gonna love this."
