Pah, damn it. Fine, remove 1 skillpoint from HP, and add an INT, and then I give Rin Teleheal, a healing variation of Telesmash. But then again, if I take the skillpoint orb and use it, it wouldn't drop my HP. Think that's what I should do.

I loot the gold too if it hasn't been looted already, and bolt it straight towards the battle in the clearing.

"Hang on; I'm coming!"

I enter at (C8), summon Rin at (D8), and jump to (G8).

"Come at me!"

...a slightly belated plane crashes into Kirika. It reads;

"I don't steal, I take your useless corpses and make them useful, while you carelessly deposit them because of your stupidity. You are in no position to barter anything, and for that matter, I have taken no power from you whatsoever. I can also say I don't give a gorilla. As for Oriko, well, you could say I was already planning on above and beyond that meager offer...Technically."

"Don't bother asking."

I quit not being a thing and immediately appear next to Gladius because I was always in this Zone and never wasn't. That being said, I then realize player cap.

"Screw you too, Zetta!"

I instead somehow appear next to Bill, having clearly been sneaking about the whole time, and turn in that quest.

Siria casts Zillycharm on herself, unprones, and moves THROUGH H11 to I11. No saving needed, Zillycharm has saved the day.

(Oh, also, I just noticed, Siria is supposed to have 2 AC.)

If I can during battle, I put a point into AGI and a point into STR.

The Operative IMMEDIATELY glances over in the direction where Gladius happens to be when she's put into danger, but notices the two people running off to help her, and grits his teeth, deciding to stick with the current battle. He takes a good long look at the Secretary next to him, then grins and pulls out a cardboard shred. His grin turns into the stuff of legendary trolls as he very slowly and deliberately eats the cardboard shred, his health going up by a single point and causing the secretary to be unable to target him with Derivation.

If allowed to, he also off-handedly stabs the Probe next to him.

The X-Protecter spawn at N8.
I take the Computerized Aimbot Sight.
I goes to B9, prones and shoots the destroyer, and unprone by the Sniper Rifle.I then goes back into C8.
The X-Haxer moves into C5, hit down the Secretary, then retreats and moves(3 points left) to E7.

Kirika takes the airplane, and begins to read it, when Oriko telepathically calls her to the Cave of OCs.

"Chaos, on a scale of bad ideas, I'd rate murdering people who want to help you as a bad idea. I can always empathise with somebody screwed over by Chaos. I'll try. I can't guarantee success." Kirika arrives in the Cave of OCs, and Oriko points at the barrier. Kirika takes out Zetta's airplane, before throwing it at an extremely fast rate, into the glass. Oriko looks at the Group Inventory, and sees the Grave Fragments. They probably have special powers, or something. Regardless, she takes out five Grave Fragments, and throws the first four at the glass barrier at a rate nearly as fast as Kirika. Finally, she takes out the last Grave Fragments, and stabs it into the barrier like it's a knife, smashing it into the barrier several times, before it shatters.

@NotMary: Welcome to the club!
I'm liking the look of that special, it may take forever to fill, but it'll definitely be useful when we need it.

Also, speaking of which, I think I kind of want to change my own special entirely, just the individual runes it pretty much useless, because SP still takes a while to charge up but my runes do barely more than a regular attack since I already possess the capability to target with pretty much any element.

NOTMARY'S BACK (yes, he's a legit person) [Here lies your stats.  A kitsune (or is it technically correct to call her a kumiho?  eh, who cares, they're both the same meaning) used them to power a pyrotechnics display.  Don't question it, especially when the one who informed you of this has been through things nobody should have ever been through. Seriously, I have been shot ~455 years into the future.  And briefly lost my gender.  Within two weeks.  Information on those events available upon request; check link in signature for some. -That same kitsune]

Hello, Tanky McTankface! I'm guessing you're new here, so here's how I'm going to TL;DR everything for you that is important in as few sentences as possible:

1. We're taking a break from the MANDATORY SHIP RIDING SEGMENT^TM on this island thing.
2. I'm a big idiot and broke everything with 2-player-limit putting-one-of-our-plot-important-NPCs-in-danger failed-tactics. Everything's probably fine here, and maybe there can be tag-out shenanigans, but you need not worry on that right now.
3. There's quite a bit to do: we have Original the Character to save, the destroyer attempting to do ??? with the island's core, talk with purple dorito, use Iji Kataiser SOUL to explore Zone 6 way ahead of schedule, craft objects/better equipment/whatever with all the assorted things we have in our inventory, convince PitTheAngel to watch RWBY...

just don't mind any text in light purple. she just sort of pops up and will try to trick you. That's racist.

Teag goes to turn in the quest, along with Roxxanne.

AH YES, THANK Y0U! 0NE STEP CL0SER T0 MY VAGUE, UNEXPLA1NED PLANS! 1'LL PR0BABLY F0RCE Y0U T0 D0 S0METH1NG ELSE LATER, BUT F0R N0W, TAKE TH1S N0N-M0NEY REWARD.

They both receive an HP Orb, an MP Orb, a SPC Orb, and a notification that several new items have appeared in the shop. These items appear in the Inventory. The notification instantly dissolves once it enters your inventory.

D1D Y0U REALLY TH1NK 1'D G1VE Y0U 0NE 0F THE BEST SPELLS 1N THE GAME AFTER 0NE QUEST? HA! Y0U'11 NEED T0 D0 S0METH1NG ELSE, SAY 1N Z0NE 4.

The skies darken to pitch black briefly, as Bill Cipher teleports away. How nice. Most of the new spells are support-based; have fun with those! You're also given the customary 1 coupon. Aaron then absconds into the battle at the Clearing, and tells Gladius to get into the ship.

ga: Sure thing. Weapons won't work, though.
ga: I'm doing some reformating, and that involved taking down the weapons for a bit.
ga: We've discussed redesigning the ship slightly, so, figured it'd be a good idea.
ga: (Clearly, I picked the worst possible time to do it.)

She dashes away into the ship. Patch then also absconds, and runs straight into the Clearing battle as well. Darkside then stuffs the skillpoint orb down his throat, upping his INT. He also upgrades Rin, and runs into the Clearing, also joining the fight. Insert then... lasts into the alcove? Whatever that means. Anyway, Siria places 1 point into AGI and STR. Redstone then Wooden Crag and Chills, all alone. Sunny then equips his Computerized Aimbot Scope.

Oriko then planes the Glass Barrier for 0% Progress, and then uses the Grave Fragments to break the glass. Well, that's what would happen, if the Grave Fragments didn't harmlessly bounce off, and then perfectly land on your toe. Every time. For a total of (4) damage. The last Grave Fragment, which you attempt to stab with, ends up cutting your hand as you try to use it, for (1) damage. There's two kinds of Grave Fragments, you know. Marron gets up, turns to face you, then slow-claps from behind the glass, giving you quite the evil smirk.

tc: Amazing work.

Her expression changes quickly. She looks entirely serious now.

tc: ...
tc: That was all sorts of pathetic.
tc: Stop gorilla-ing around and get me out.

Suddenly, Chaos's voice echoes across the mindscape...

cc: so I see you’re (t)rying (t)o free marron
cc: again, bad idea.
cc: bu(t) (t)rus(t) me, she’s greeeaaaa(t).
cc: af(t)er all, I wro(t)e her!

cc: it’s (t)oo lateeeeee
tc: No no no no no! Don’t, you piece of gorilla-
cc: *deep brea(t)h*


tc: …

Marron is blushing, and promptly turns away from you.

tc: ...Just please kill him before he can write another part to my story.

NotMary then somehow finds the forum and joins the game! This scares me on a deep, emotional level. You still have a skill-slot, though; maybe add another skill? Aaron also makes five Bundles of Gaia Knives, consuming the patch of grass, 15 lesser knives, and 5 vines. They're not too good, though...

You're down a summon, and given that a few players have left the area, I'd advise entering so that you can clear out the mobs with minimal casualties.

"Pfffffft. Gotta agree with her, Oriko; that was pathetic. Ever hear of Karma? That's what the Grave Fragments are. Just... don't use them. Just let me finish up here, the-
Huh, wait, weren't you that thing that kamikaze'd our ship?
...I'm not even going to ask how you got here or why you're on our side, but either way, great to see another person become a member of our team.
Welcome aboard!
...Now, if my math is correct, we're one over the player cap, so... I guess I'll get that gal and puppet outta that cell. Rin, stay here."
"Got it."

(Well well, my math was wrong. Think I'll stick around a bit, actually.)

I absc-
ABSCOND FAILED! REASON: MEAN LOOK DEBUFF
"...[b]gorilla.
You DARE challenge me!? Come on, Rin. Let's show these punks what we're made of."[/b]
Rin waits for Mistri's heal, then backs up to (C8), and medicates herself.
"That took a massive chunk outta me! We're gonna need some help down here, I think..."

I stare at Secretary 2 with my own set of cold, dead eyes.
I prick myself with a splinter, move to (E8), and Augment myself.
"Thought you could get me with a poison AND some decent damage? I don't [b]gorillaing think so! Hahahahahaaa!"[/b]

Then, because of some space-time shenanigans (and also because I worked quite a bit on this), I split, and a part of me ends up near the Cavern of OC's.

I walk up to the Containment Chamber with Marron and Ette, carrying a calm, focused expression.
"...Stuck in there on the other side of the barrier because Chaos didn't want you to be known? Hm. All the more reason to rip Chaos to shreds."
I frown a bit, but still remaining eerily calm.
"I can relate. My true character was hidden and nurtured because my creator was afraid. Now I can finally show my true personality, and still want revenge, to a slightly lesser extent. Same goes for many of the others like me he's created"
And then I snap.
[big]"THIS IS WHY SEEING SOMEONE LIKE THIS IS BONE-CHILLINGLY DISGUSTING!"[/big]
This is the point when I show Oriko and Kirika something more interesting than attacking with grave fragments and a busted plane.

I raise my arm into the air, and soon after, it becomes an entirely black lance. Seeing the weak spots in the chamber walls, I powerfully thrust that lance directly into it (avoiding piercing through the trapped duo), and then begin to ply the entire wall of the containment chamber out, or at the very least, crushing the inner wall in a bit. However, this forced the dimensions to become mismatched, and the door was then easier to pry off.
While the lance was still in there (in case the chamber would revert to its shape somehow), my head transforms into that of a dragon's, and I bite down on the door. Hard.

You would expect me to pry it off with all of my might, right? Well, you're wrong. Why use force when you can use MAJJYKS? I inhale deeply, and then exhale a massive beam of pure, concentrated Oblivion straight from the dragon mouth, cutting cleanly through the side of the door, and probably out the other end of the island. It's probably big enough to squeeze through, if only barely.

Setting her free might be a smart idea, or a really, really stupid one. Only time will tell.
Or a guide, but there's likely nothing to be said.

After all that is said and done, I merge back together.
