Plot[]
The evacuation of the Zeroes[]
The video starts off with the Zeroes escaping with one of the Zeros holding a box of tapes. They run to a room and get in, but one of the tapes falls out of the box. The Zero holding the tape tries to go get it while the rest of the Zeros prepare snacks. The holding the tapes gets back and gives the box of tapes to someone else and throws a mug at one of the Zeros on accident. The Zero apologizes to the hurt zero and then accidentally hurts them again. They all force themselves into the toilet, and the tapes get transferred to another zero. One of the Zeros ask why they have to go into the toilet and points out there's a subway. The Zero holding the tapes goes in the subway instead, saying they need some alone time.
Six's betrayal of Five[]
The world is all red. Five calls and panics for Six and Five, Ten, and Fourteen, who are in the cage. Six gets out of a vent, and Five hits Six by accident. They (minus Fourteen) call for Six, and she comes out of the vent to tell them to shut their mouth. Then the two argue. Ten is sorry to Six, Five tries to get into the vent, and Six bits Five's leg then leaves. Ten tells Six to come back in the pitch of the TPOT intro, then Fourteen tells Ten that they got the ball out of their foot. Ten says they just got their new skin.
Introduction of Zero's bunker[]
Six sees if a drill works, but they decided they don't need it. Now it shows the Zeroes in a tube and fall into an arcade game (as one of the tubes), All the Zeroes fall down a loopy thing, then it shows Six crawling throw the vent and finds some sort of party through one of the vents. There's a Zero in the room and has a hat on, the Zero dances until they notice Six, Zero is amazed that Six survived the thing and says if Six likes their hat. Six climbs into the bunker, and the Zero shows them all the stuff they need to survive, then all the Zeroes get in through a pipe and ruin the place. Then the Zero leads Six to the second room and tells the other Zeroes to clean the mess up which the Zeroes agree.
"COME TO ZERO'S BUNKER!"[]
Six is thinking that Zero's plan is to just hide, then Zero tells them that's not the case, Zero then calls everyone to come to the bunker. It shows the Even Numbers Clubhouse which Two and Eight are in, they are confused where the bunker is and Zero tells them it's on Google Maps. Then it shows to Fifteen's cabin, which Fifteen does not want to go to the bunker as she grabs the voice waves and throws them away. Then Nine is on a Drop Tower and they want to come but they're stuck on the Drop Tower. Seven is saying they do not want to go to the bunker but changes their mind as they got notified with the signal, Ten calls for Seven to save them, then Fourteen eats the voice waves (while also calling it "appetitizers") while Five goes into the vent of the prison cell and Ten begs for them to come back, then Fourteen attempts to launch themselves into Ten, starting a chase around the cell.
The tapes[]
Zero then realizes they have to go though the box of tapes and which one of them has a way to stop the thing and Zero says that. Then Zero tells Six that they have to search for the tape in the pile of tapes since they were never labeled, then the other Zeroes pop into the room and are excited to watch the tapes, then they play the first one, the Zero says that they should bet cleaning, but they tell them that their finished.
First tape[]
It shows a Comedy Hub where the Zero on stage. They introduce themselves in the TV, whilst the real Zero is embarrassed from watching. The Zero in the tape thanks their friends (which are Zero, Zero, Zero, and Zero), who were the ones that got the jokes that Zero would perform. However, Zero gets told by an audience member to hurry up. Zero tells their joke to no applause, so he attempts to explain the joke to the audience. In the real world, the other numbers laugh at Zero. Then, Five's voice is heard. Zero worries that everyone is coming into the bunker, when Five complains to Six of what they did. A Zero grabs the next tape, as Six explains to Five that they're trying to watch the video.
Second tape[]
On the tape, Zero is on a bike and wants to do a trick. Meanwhile, Five is heard complaining to Six about watching TV while the apocalypse is happening. Then, the Zero in the tape falls down, saying they broke their hip. Meanwhile, Five asks if there's more tapes, to which the others tell Five what they were trying to do - find the tape that will save them. Five agrees, but Zero wants Five to leave and go do what they wanted to earlier, but Five declines and puts in the next tape.
Third tape/Two and Eight scene/Fourteen and Ten scene[]
It shows Zero in what appears to be Goiky, and they say it is an audition for a singing contest. Five is surprised when the Zero on the TV starts to sing.
Outside, Two makes sure Eight has everything from the clubhouse, which they say they do. However, Two remarks that the floor has become lava. Two tests if it is simply orange soda, putting their hand in it, but they get burnt and scream.
Ten is tied up in the cage and wants to be free, to which Fourteen tells ten that they're still going try to eat their skin. However, Ten notices the lava entering the cage and tells fourteen that their skin will burn due to the lava. Fourteen does not want to eat burnt skin, so they untie Ten. Fourteen says that they will protect Ten with their life until the apocalypse ends, which is when they will eat at Ten's skin.
Fourth tape[]
Zero is shown in a game show with the host being a new algebralian: 24. The final question is to spell "Zero", with the word actually appearing on the screen fully written out. Zero points out how easy this is, as their name is Zero. However, they spell it as Z-R-O. They realize that they spelled it wrong and panic, but its's too late - 24 states that they are wrong, and they now have to watch their money counter go slowly down to $0.
Five asks Six for the next tape.
Fifth and later tapes/Second Two/Eight scene/Nine scene[]
Zero is trying to lick an ice cream but it falls. Then, in what seems to be a disregard for hygiene, puts it back on their cone, making sure no one is watching them do so. However, they realize that they are being recorded. They run toward the camera and demand that whoever is recording they delete the footage. Everyone laughs at him, but Zero is embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Two and Eight are floating on a plank. Two says that this is the first time they have been burnt, likely due to their powers being stripped away. Then, a wave of lava emerges, about to hit them. Two tells Eight that "[they've] always loved [Eight]," clarifying that they mean only in a platonic way.
Nine says that they're still stuck on the Drop Tower, with the lava rising even higher due to the wave. Nine sadly remarks that they'll be stuck up there forever.
Eight and Two end up in the Bunker, safe due to a platonic friendship bubble. Eight pops it, and Two starts proclaiming to everyone about how their platonic bubble works. However, no-one is listening as Two realizes that they are watching the video on the tape. One of the Zeros point to the screen. Eight and Two notice that Five and Six are the closest they have been ever. However, the Zero in the hat gets frustrated as they are all laughing at him. The other Zero picks on hat Zero, to which hat Zero tries to play embarrassing videos of them to prove them wrong.
Other Zero tapes/Ten and Fourteen scene[]
The first tape shows that a whole new algebrailan - 63 - is rewarding the other Zeros for winning a spelling bee. The second one shows the Zeros on the news and being thanked for raising $10,000 for charity. The third one shows them saving 9 animals from a fire. In every tape, the Zeros say that they feel good for doing what they did. Zero is frustrated for not labelling the tapes. Meanwhile, Fourteen is hanging on the ceiling, his feet holding onto Ten. Fourteen says he has a plan to escape: to call for Two. They call for Two, however, there is no response. Fourteen assumes that Two is dead, at which Ten assumes that everyone must be dead.
However, all of a sudden, a mysterious voice speaks to Fourteen and Ten. The voice says that they don't want the others to be dead, they just want them in jail. Fourteen asks who the voice is, to which the voice says that it is "not important." Then, they rise the lava to try lure them out.
Zero's secretive tape[]
The lava has entered the bunker and it touches Zero. He urgently alerts everyone else that the lava has entered, taking the current tape out of the TV to grab everyone's attention. Eight remarks that they forgot about the apocalypse, when Zero scrambles to find another tape to check. They put the tape in, showing the person holding the camera approach a door. Zero realizes which tape this is and immediately takes it out. Zero states that he does not want to watch this one. Six asks why they don't want to put it in, to which Zero says that it's "not important." However, the other Zeros realize which video it was, saying it's better than the one that explains the thing. Zero protests watching the tape, but the other Zeroes overpower him and trap Zero in a refrigerator. They try to get out, counting down from 3 in an attempt to warn the other Zeroes, but it's too late - the video plays and the camera is approaching the door. The person holding the camera opens the door, as Zero is petrified inside the fridge. The tape reveals that behind the door, Zero is asleep and presumably dreaming, kissing a pillow which he imagines is Fifteen, showing that Zero has a crush on them. Then everyone laughs at the video, to which Zero is extremely embarrassed and frustrated about. Zero completely snaps and breaks out of the refrigerator, giving a loud roar at everyone. Zero starts crashing out, throwing the TV over, saying that it's over. Zero argues with the rest of the Algebralians as to why they disobeyed him, with the other numbers frustrated at him destroying the TV. However, just then, Seven pops out of the pipe above them.
Getting ready for the final tape/Second Ten and Fourteen scene[]
Seven has a teddy bear and gives it to one of the Zeros. Seven recognizes the tapes, saying that they have watched them and kept one. To everyone's disbelief, it is the exact tape they needed. However, Zero says the TV does not work anymore. Seven points out that there is one upstairs in Zero's base. Zero is skeptical, saying that it is dangerous, when some lava burns his feet. Seven remarks that it is not safe in the bunker either, so Zero commands everyone to get to the subways.
Meanwhile, Ten is singing to the mysterious character, with their music notes physically hurting Fourteen. Later, he convinces Fourteen to play percussion. However, the mysterious character warns that they will rise the lava if they don't stop singing, but still, Ten still thinks the power of music will work. However, then the lava rises as the mysterious voice said. Ten changes their mind, saying that they "hate music."
The numbers with Zero go to the base upstairs in a hurry. At the cage, Fourteen says that they will die with their friend, Ten, but Ten disagrees, saying that they are not friends. However, just then, Ten realizes that the lava is receding. However, they realize that it's not the lava receding, it's the cage floating up. It turns out that the mysterious character is carrying them. Ten asks who they are. The voice responds with, “Who am I”?
Final Tape/Final Scene (Before Stinger)[]
The VHS Narrator says that 2,763 is the most powerful number, and that it is different from the regular Algebralians. It can have as many arms, legs, mouth, eyes, and voice, as it wants. It stands thousands of feet tall and can grow bigger. It can steal the power from every number within its vicinity. If it sees any number, it can read their thoughts, and they can hear its voice in their mind. It can find anyone because it has better eyesight than any other character, thereby the narrator warns the viewer to hide from it. Then, when the narrator was about to tell how to defeat it, the tape suddenly stops playing. Suddenly, a hand from 2,763 crashes through the window and takes away Seven. Everyone runs out into the hallway, but the arms take 2, 5, 6 and 8. Zero is cowering under a desk, when he thinks aloud that the arm must've missed him. However, 2,763 responds that it didn't miss 0, it just didn't have any use for him. The screen cuts to black, with the words "To be Continued."
Stinger[]
The Stinger ends off with Nine, who is still on the Drop Tower from earlier. asking someone to help them get off of the Drop Tower, she later then questions about why there is a Drop Tower in the middle of nowhere, and then says that this is their life now.

Trivia[]
General[]
- This is the first subscriber special in the series to not be released when the subscriber count was an increment of 100,000.

- The short was hinted at on Twitter on January 14th, 2025, via a fan posting an image of a document titled "2763k subscribe...". It can be presumed that the full name of the document is "2763k subscriber special".[1]
- The short released on February 7th. In MM/DD format, this would be 2/7, the first two digits of 2,763.
- In Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5), this episode was released at 6:30 pm, which are the next two digits of 2,763.
- The alternate title, "The Worst Day of Zero's Life", is a reference to "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".
- The scene where Six was biting Five's leg is also a reference to "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", when Marker bit Teardrop's arm whilst taking her zap shooter.
- Zero's hat uses a similar asset to Propeller Hat from "Start the Shift", with the brim being yellow instead of red and the propeller is absent.
- The digits of the two new algebraliens from the tapes - 24 and 63 - can be put together to make the number "2,463," which is quite similar to 2,763. Whether or not this is intentional is unknown.

- While 2,763 was catching the numbers, it got Seven, Two, Five, Six, and Eight. Of these digits, Two, Seven, and Six spell out 276, while Five can be subtracted from Eight to make Three, thus spelling out 2,763. This may be its possible motivation.
