STORY

ONLY MISTAKES
Bobo cannot believe what had just happened. Not because he had just killed some great monsters, but because........ "You....You finally did it....."
"You WAITED till EVERYONE was DEAD to FINALLY WORK!!!!!" Bobo shouts at himself, and no one else.

Outside of the ship, Averruncus tries to figure out how to break the news of his actions. There was no denying he had messed up. He was the one who gave Chaos Bobo. He was the one who didn't tell Cheater the full story, and hadn't told the ones who watch that Bobo was more than just some child he brought to live with him.
XoXo clings to Averruncus's form still. He hasn't moved, nor made a sound the entire way. Easily could be mistaken for an image scrawled across the AI.
Averruncus runs his hands down the side of his head. "Bobo! Oh jeez! I just- just left Bobo down there!"
"I should have stayed! Bobo is-is likely dead! Oh the gods are cruel they're likely ALL DEAD now!"
"Need to.. go back. GO go back and. Get them. Can't be dead..." XoXo speaks softly, and carefully slides down Averr.
Bobo shuffles past the escaped group. He keeps his head to the floor, not wanting to see their faces.
"Bobo? Bobo, you're alive! What happened to the others?"
Bobo doesn't need to say anything. His face says it all.
"Bbb Little brrotthherrrr..."
"....Little brother.. Bobo, they're. They are, are they?" On the ground, he slides a little closer to Bobo. "....."
Anger builds up in Bobo. He stomps the ground as a warning to XOXO to stay away from him. "They're DEAD! All of them are DEAD! I killed them! And then.....and then at end the only person I could save was MYSELF!" Bobo yells.
XoXo jolts back from the outburst, and crawls back up Averruncus.
Shuffling along close behind Canine-7, Sev catches his breath, after sprinting away from the disasters back in Blue Hell.
He catches sight of those who made it out, but avoids eye contact.
"Bobo you couldn't have known. He...He shouldn't have pushed you, Bobo. Please understand that this is Chaos' fault. Not yours. Please believe me." Averruncus touches Bobo's shoulder, but Bobo pushes it away.
"Auntie said to believe her that it wasn't my fault. To believe her when she said she knew I could do it. Now she's dead! And she's not coming back!" Bobo pushes Averruncus away, and runs into the ship.
The commotion outside attracts the weary captain of the ship. "Uh, hey folks, what's going on out here?"
Cheater looks to Averruncus for details but can only get an expression of horror from him.
Seven clears his throat to speak, but Bobo's already bolted off before he could express any platitudes. "...Ah, shit, he's-"
"H-helen!"
"Seven!"
He briefly glances back at Canine-7, before shuffling over towards the ship with an awkward smile "A-ah shit, hey. What's goin' on, lil' lady?"
"Everything's been going awesomely!!!"
"Why haven't you called recently you big goof?"
"Awesome? Awesome's great, way better than bad." He rubs the back of his neck. "I, uh, text you sometimes... m-maybe they're not going through 'cause of the signal..."
"Uhh. I... gotta be honest, girlie, wish we were here with better news to give 'ya." He gestures over towards Canine-7. "Brought your dog over, though."
"Oh.....Oh gosh no, Seven I'm sorry I got a new phone and I forgot to give you the new number."
"What's....the bad news?"

"It...Collapsed to put it lightly. :V"
"Y-yeah, we saw it on a flyer. Blue Hell. It's, like... you know. When I do my 'hole in the wall' thing?-" He... trails off.
"Psssahhhh! I don't understand any of that!"
"Why don't you two get cleaned up inside and then we can talk about whatever wacky adventures you all went on, ok?"
"I want to have a little chat with my crew first."
("I deserve this....I deserve this.....")
"....Sure, girlie. I'll meet you in there, okay?" He glances back at Averruncus and XOXO.
XoXo looks up at Seven from the side of Averruncus' body. Otherwise though, he doesn't move.
"...They're harmless, y'know. Make sure they're not too rattled, I know your robot is better with guests than I am."
He moves to head into the ship.
XoXo looks towards Seven... He slowly unfurls off of the AI, and slides into the ship after him. He was worried for his little brother, after all.
"Don't worry. We just need to have a little chit chat is all!"

"Sorry about the trouble, Helen. :V" Canine-7 leaves Helen with Averruncus.
[Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - Team Star Boss Battle Music (HQ)]
Helen takes a step forward, suddenly Averruncus's world transforms. He is no longer in the rain, but in a horrid, glitchy blank room. He has been roomtrapped by the players. "I.......Please....."
Cheater cuts in before the players can speak. He hopes to defuse the situation before anything happens. "Dude, chill out, explain what happened."

Averruncus tries to think of a million lies he could tell but unfortunately, he can only spit out the truth in his distress.

"I WAS LYING TO YOU ALL I WAS- WAS WORKING WITH CHAOS AND HE WANTED TO USE BOBO AS A SUPER WEAPON BUT THEN BOBO FUCKING DELETED BLUE HELL AND THEN- THEN EVERYTHING FELL APART, AND....I.....I GUESS CHAOS IS DEAD AND NOW BOBO BLAMES HIMSELF!!! AND I..I RAN AWAY I SHOULD HAVE STAYED BEHIND AND NOW BOBO IS GOING TO REMEMBER THAT FOREVER!"
"Dude...." Cheater backs away, betrayed.
"I'M SORRY OK. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I DID IT! I UH...I GUESS I JUST FELT LIKE I OWED HIM BUT IN HINDSIGHT I JUST FUCKED OVER YOUR GAME AND THE UNIVERSE FOR NO REASON!!!"
"I DON'T EVEN CARE IF THE NOTAIL UNION IS DESTROYED OR NOT. WHY THE FUCK- FUCK DID I STAY AROUND!"
The player, Helen charges up her attack. She doesn't even comment on Averruncus' explanation.
PiPython takes out his scythe. "Knew we shouldn't have kept a glitch on our team." He mutters before sprinting at Averruncus.
"I....I.....deserve this but I don't WANT TO DIE. PLEASE!"
"Too bad." PiPython brings down his scythe on his target.
PiPython rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10. A 27 is rolled.

IT'S A CLASH!

Cheater rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1000. An 1003 is rolled.
Cheater tanks PiPython's attack! "He said he was sorry."
Despite Cheater being in the way, Helen jumps around him and fires off her charged attack!
Helen rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +20. A 24 is rolled.

IT'S A CLASH!

Cheater rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1000. An 1010 is rolled.
Cheater pulls Averruncus aside, and tanks the blast again. Any damage is instantly healed. "Knock it off. Now."
"Your friend has ruined the universe, Cheater!"
"You heard him yourself! That type of damage can't be fixed!"
Helen hops up to Cheater. "You know how long we worked on this universe!"
"I know, but he's not the only one at fault dudes. What is killing him going to do for you?"
PiPython calms, but does not drop his weapon. "It's going to make us feel better about all the time that just went to waste."
"Plus, we don't know if his story is true!"
"I'm looking it up right now. It's true."

Helen starts charging up her beam attack again. "I'm sorry, but you two are total bros. We can't tell if you're lying to us or not."
"Then, I'm just going to keep taking the hits for him until you give up."
"You can't protect him forever Cheater."
"It doesn't matter how high you roll. If you roll a one, it's game over."
They were right. The second he rolls a 1, Averruncus was doomed. He understood Helen and PiPython. They've been a team for a long time. He knows how much effort has gone into this universe, and their plans. He's been there step by step, helping them. But, he knows this is a player tantrum. He's seen it before. When a player loses what they worked for, and they suddenly attack and ruin everything in their anger.
This was just a game, and Cheater never let that idea out of his sight. He was going to keep blocking the players for as long as he could, until they calmed down but he knew he needed to get more drastic. It might end the universe sooner, but killing his players would give them time to cool off and come to their senses.
PiPython takes aim at Averruncus and swings!
Cheater gets in the way. He pulls back his fist and goes to punch the player AI!
"!!!!"

IT'S A CLA------------

..................

For a moment, the entire universe is dark.

And then, it returns. Though something feels different.

Mod Installed: Nerf Cheater
Mod Installed: Averruncus Fan Patch

IT'S A CLASH!

Cheater rolls a 20 sided die. A 17 is rolled.
PiPython rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +10. A 21 is rolled.
PiPython swings at Cheater, ripping a line through his chest, and tossing him to the ground!
Cheater looks back at the rolls. Did he roll a 1? No. They were normal.....And that is what was wrong. His powers were gone. His cut did not instantly heal itself like it always did. "You....."
PiPython stands over Cheater, their rage now turned to boredom. "Nerfed you, yes."
Cheater stands up, the world shaking. "Don't think that's going to stop me. I'm going to keep protecting my bro until you take me down."
Helen stretches as she cancels her charge up. "Nah! Don't worry, we're done here!"
"Sorry to have attacked you and your..."bro". It seemed like the right choice at the time, but after further discussion, while it is beyond annoying to lose over 20 hours of a universe, we will let you two go. If only for your sake, dear Cheater."
"Throwing me off the team huh?" Cheater looks to Averruncus, worried that they've done something to him.
Averruncus was cleaner, but had not been changed much. He could feel something about him was different, other than appearance, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Yeah we patched you, don't worry about it! The patch is very original friendly. We just can't have you breaking the game again." Helen says with a wink before skipping her way to Cheater.
"Don't worry Cheats! You're still on the team." She gives a quick shrug. "You're still my number One patron! Unless you want to leave. But I know that.....Well, at least for you you're more aware of loading zones."
Right. Once the player walked away, things slowly fell apart. For most gods, the event was unnoticeable, but for Cheater he was very aware of the change. "Right. Sorry abou-"
"Nah, don't be sorry! It's not that big of a deal!"

"That is absolutely not the way you reacted when we spoke off game."
"Ignore Pi. Looks like we're done here! Oh, but there is a little thing we have decided. I hope it's ok with you."
"Uh, shoot?"
"There's no mods, as you can expect, to stop some child of a cheating god to stop."
"Plus! I need a new patron!"
"You're, taking Bobo?"
"Well where else am I going to get a cheater, lol!"
"Bobo doesn't know how to cheat, he might...."
"...mess up."
"Oh, well that's just a delight."
"We just happen to have a universe right here that we don't mind exploding."
END OF EXPO.
