CRiTORA: abnormal/Summary

A page summarizing CRiTORA: abnormal's story.
==Prologue==
The story begins with introducing the city of CRiTOPiA, as well as three particular CRiTORA. In the Food District, Caroline Cakepod is opening her bakery, Cakepod's Curious Confectionery, for the day. In the Tech District, Isaac X-Beetle prepares to compete with his friends Miyamoto Blockinjump and Paratchet Stataplay, with Erniejoe Freckler and Kookie Bonky in tow. At the Cosmic Center in the Moon District, Kepler Solarowl invites the Planetary Pals for tea, during which they question Kepler's habits, making them leave to contemplate their behavior.
At some point afterward, Queen Creatophage unleashes a swarm of ViRUSES upon CRiTOPiA, initiating an event known as the Infestation Invasion. Throughout the city, ViRUSES rapidly attack and infect CRiTORA. Caroline is attacked by several V-CRiTORA, Isaac is cornered by his infected rivals, and Kepler and Eleanor Worldhopper are swarmed by ViRUSES. The Infestation Invasion is later undone by OS and the newly created GUARDiANS, restoring CRiTOPiA to its original state.
==The Junkyard==
Some time after the Infestation Invasion is aborted, Isaac wakes up in a mysterious district known as the Abnormal District. Isaac soon meets Lancer Rotasneak, a laser CRiTORA who idolizes Isaac. Elsewhere, Caroline wanders through the junkyard, encountering a defective ViRUS and finding Jang Suk-ban, a tteokbokki CRiTORA who she convinces to join her. Meanwhile, Kepler stumbles upon a camper van, which turns out to be another CRiTORA named Filmore Hillton. Filmore and Kepler soon find Isaac, Lancer, Caroline, and Suk-ban, and escape from ViRUSES as the district begins to crumble. Once they are in the clear, the CRiTORA take the time to get to know each other. On the surface, Luna Bitz visits the Cosmic Center and chats with Eleanor. During their conversation, Eleanor reflects on how much Kepler’s absence has affected the Planetary Pals, and how much she missed them.
Back in the Abnormal District, Caroline makes everyone breakfast, but her cooking ends up attracting a group of ViRUSES, which are easily defeated. The giant ViRUSES then appear and pursue the CRiTORA. Isaac tries to fight the ViRUSES off himself, only for his diamond sword to break and laser gun to run out of ammo, forcing him to retreat. Once the coast is clear, Caroline and Kepler look for Isaac as Filmore keeps Lancer and Suk-ban entertained. 
Kepler and Caroline find another puddle of honey and a vicious bear-like creature appears, almost slashing Caroline. After Kepler calms them down, the bear reveals herself as Sweetpop Honeytedd, a grizzly bear CRiTORA, who joins them. Meanwhile, Isaac encounters the Caveman, a neanderthal CRiTORA, atop a hill of junk, who he fights for a diamond and loses to. He retreats to a grandfather clock tower and finds Cuckoo Clocsteam, a steampunk chicken CRiTORA.
Kepler, Caroline and Sweetpop meet up with Filmore before heading into the clock tower, where they fight through hordes of ViRUSES and eventually rescue Isaac and Cuckoo. The junkyard’s last remnants crumble away as the group escapes to another area, the Frozen Foundry. Cuckoo and Sweetpop introduce themselves to the other survivors as they begin to rest. From a distance, Galileo Cosmosnap, a snapping turtle CRiTORA, begins to scheme against Kepler and their allies.
==Frozen Foundry==
On the surface, Mitzi Cakepod, Caroline's younger sister, is struggling to maintain Cakepod's Curious Confectionery in her sister’s stead, and ends up serving Miyamoto and Paratchet damaged cookies. As the two leave to eat outside, they argue over Isaac’s fate, resulting in both deciding not to speak to each other.
Meanwhile, as the survivors traverse the Frozen Foundry, Galileo spies on them from afar. He then hears splashing sounds, prompting him to investigate. He encounters Slimy Goodrop, an acidic blob CRiTORA, whom he convinces to help him. Slimy summons acid rain to slow down the survivors and freezes the ground and Filmore’s wheels using a lever. Isaac suggests saving Slimy upon spotting her, but Caroline is apprehensive of her. Kepler ultimately decides to attempt to recruit Slimy, directing the other survivors to free Filmore before they set off. The trio track down and chase Slimy into a factory building, where they encounter Galileo, much to Kepler’s shock. Kepler tries to fight Galileo, but he simply activates a lever which takes the Mighty Trio to a maze-like floor.
On the second floor, Kepler proposes to work together in order to escape, only for Galileo to separate the trio into different areas of the maze. While searching for a way out, Kepler finds mysterious, partially legible messages left by unknown entity. Meanwhile, Caroline rescues Spud Jumbotoe, a cowardly potato CRiTORA, and a disarmed Isaac is pursued by yeti ViRUSES until Caroline fends them off.
Meanwhile, as the other survivors are breaking Filmore's wheels free from the ice, Slimy releases a wave of acidic slime via a lever. The survivors are able to break Filmore free in time to escape the wave of slime. Isaac, Caroline, and Spud reunite with Kepler as the factory begins to fall apart. As they flee the factory. Galileo activates a lever, summoning a blizzard which blows the four CRiTORA away. Galileo and Slimy escape to another area with a rocket. The four crash into Filmore through his backdoors, with Kepler passing out shortly afterward.
Kepler dreams about a memory involving Galileo while unconscious. At some point in the past, Galileo proposed a theory postulating the existence of a fifteenth District, which Kepler objected to. Tensions escalated between the two, culminating in Kepler launching an asteroid at Galileo, sending him flying back to Intergálapagos Isle and abruptly ending their friendship. 
Kepler wakes up later, having missed breakfast. The Mighty Trio suddenly hears loud sneezing sounds from afar. They set out to investigate, but not before Spud gives them hot potatoes to stay warm. The blizzard makes navigation difficult, but Kepler uses their hearing to pinpoint the source of the sound. They end up finding Nostradamus Winklesneeze, a sickly yet rascally nose CRiTORA. They lend Nostradamus their food to try to cure his sickness, but this only causes Nostradamus to blow Isaac and Caroline away. Filmore finds Kepler and Nostradamus, and the latter is taken care of by the other survivors as the former looks for Isaac and Caroline. While trying to traverse the blizzard, Isaac finds another diamond. However, he is again confronted by the Caveman, who now wields a spear. Isaac fights the Caveman using a makeshift sword, but loses both the duel and the diamond. Kepler soon finds Isaac, and the two begin looking for Caroline. 
Meanwhile, the other survivors are taking care of Nostradamus. Suk-ban spots an antidote from a distance, and manages to make their way to it despite several tremors. The other survivors look for Suk-ban, who is now on the other side of a large ravine. Cuckoo extends their neck, allowing the survivors to retrieve Suk-ban. They then return to Filmore and give Nostradamus the antidote, who fully recovers, revealing his wacky personality. However, tremors are felt again as the Frozen Foundry begins to crumble.
Elsewhere, Caroline treks through the blizzard until she finds a small cabin, finding Mirabel Lampacei, an oil lamp CRiTORA, inside. The two are suddenly snowed in as the area begins to disintegrate. Both CRiTORA work together to try to melt the snow, to little success. Kepler and Isaac notice the glow from their flames, and Kepler uses their hot potato to melt the snow, freeing Caroline and Mirabel. The four of them relocate Filmore and escape alongside the other CRiTORA to another location, the Lightning Lakes. Filmore rests as Nostradamus and Mirabel introduce themselves to everyone.
==Lightning Lakes==
Back on the surface, a fight breaks out between Miyamoto and Paratchet at the Game Time Arcade over Isaac's disappearance. Virtua, the owner of the arcade, bans both CRiTORA from the arcade for a week. Near a lake, both CRiTORA calm down and reconcile, vowing to find Isaac together.
In the Lightning Lakes, Filmore encounters a small crow while driving. Thinking another CRiTORA may be in the area, Isaac flies out to find them, much to the shock and chagrin of Caroline. Caroline and Kepler search for Isaac, but as they leave, Filmore and the survivors are struck by lightning, making them all lag. Meanwhile, Isaac continues to pursue the crow until he encounters a large floating eye. The eye reveals themselves as Saturday Tanglewood, a CRiTORA composed of the eye, the crow and a dried tree. Isaac prepares to fight them, only for Saturday to peacefully give him ammo for his laser gun. Saturday follows Isaac back to Filmore, albeit slowly. 
As Kepler and Caroline look for Isaac, Caroline’s annoyance with Isaac’s headstrong nature begins to grow further. Both CRiTORA hear a cry for help at a lake, where Bonkers Tootoowarrior, a seahorse CRiTORA with an inverted outline, is ensnared by seaweed. Kepler and Isaac attempt to rescue him, only to both be struck by lightning. With Caroline out of options, Saturday uses their branches to allow her to cross the lake and rescue the three CRiTORA. 
Filmore and the other survivors return to normal and set out to find the Mighty Trio, avoiding lightning strikes. They eventually find the trio with Saturday and Bonkers in tow. Filmore sets off, although slower than before due to the combined weight of the survivors. Elsewhere, Galileo finds a mysterious piece of software with the power to create GLiTCHES, creatures composed of abstract shapes capable of lagging CRiTORA.
On the surface, Mitzi struggles to keep maintaining the confectionery and is quickly overwhelmed. Taking a customer’s advice, she decides to seek out other CRiTORA for help. After recruiting several CRiTORA, Mitzi successfully refurbishes the confectionery and becomes more confident in her abilities.
While traversing the Lightning Lake’s largest lake, the survivors encounter a horde of GLiTCHES, who quickly overwhelm and immobilize them. The Mighty Trio soon encounter Galileo and Slimy and chase them through the Lightning Lakes. Galileo and Slimy manage to escape, sending more GLiTCHES after the Mighty Trio. Before they can attack, however, a bolt of lightning deletes the GLiTCHES. As the trio heads back, they encounter Norten Groovywave, a timid cuttlefish CRiTORA in one of the lakes. Kepler manages to persuade him to accompany them back to safety.
Meanwhile, the other survivors are still covered in GLiTCHES, incapacitated. Robin Bobbinboat, a brave tugboat CRiTORA, swims over to the survivors, attracted by the commotion. She effortlessly disposes of the GLiTCHES, restoring the survivors’ senses, although Filmore remains unresponsive. Just as Robin introduces herself, massive bolts of lightning in the shape of the letters V and S strike the biggest lake, scaring nearly everyone.
The Mighty Trio and Norten eventually return, but are struck by lightning causing them to lag. Combining their abilities, the survivors are able to safely get the four inside. However, the Lightning Lakes begin to delete themselves. With Filmore incapacitated, Robin uses her immense strength to carry him, as well as all the survivors, to the next area. The group arrives in the Scorched Woods, a molten forest with burned trees and volcanoes. Filmore rests as Norten and Robin introduce themselves to everyone.
==Scorched Woods==
At the Cosmic Center, Eleanor looks over old photos of the Planetary Pals, tearfully wishing for Kepler to return. The others comfort her and reminisce over their memories with Kepler. Spurred by Galileo’s old theory, Eleanor convinces the others to set out to find a way to bring Kepler home, but not before the group stops by Cakepod’s Curious Confectionery.
In the Scorched Woods, Filmore struggles to press forward due to the extreme heat and the weight of the survivors. His reduced speed leaves him vulnerable to a group of ViRUSES, but the others quickly dispose of them. The survivors hear a honk from afar, prompting Isaac to rush over without the others knowing, much to Caroline’s annoyance. Kepler and Caroline pursue Isaac as Filmore attempts to keep up.
The Mighty Trio soon discover the source of the sound: Candace Transportool, a school bus CRiTORA, under attack from upgraded ViRUSES. The Mighty Trio try to fight the ViRUSES, but struggle due to the ViRUSES’ strength as well as the escalating tension between Isaac and Caroline. As he is driving by, Filmore is shocked to notice a second vehicular CRiTORA in the Abnormal District. Together, the other survivors defeat the upgraded ViRUSES, freeing Candace, who offers to transport some survivors for Filmore in return. 
Suddenly, a nearby volcano erupts, and the survivors escape. Thanks to Candace freeing up Filmore, the two are able to escape the volcano. Meanwhile, Isaac and Caroline continue to argue further, worrying Kepler.  Once away from the volcano, Candace introduces herself to all of the survivors. Isaac abruptly leaves Candace and enters Filmore, bluntly stating that he’s done with Caroline. Meanwhile, atop the largest volcano, a mysterious figure watches the CRiTORA from afar. 
Back on the surface, Miyamoto and Paratchet visit Cakepod’s Curious Confectionery once again, noticing the confectionery’s makeover. As the duo enjoy their desserts, they overhear Mitzi worrying about her sister. They decide to go up to Mitzi, who takes them to a back room to talk in private. Miyamoto and Paratchet explain their situation, making Mitzi realize the three share a common ground. Meanwhile, the Planetary Pals enter the shop, and Eleanor soon overhears the three’s conversation. She explains her situation as well, stating that Kepler, Isaac and Caroline may have ended up in a fifteenth district. Determined to find them, the four CRiTORA agree to work together. 
In the Abnormal District, the survivors continue to travel through the Scorched Woods. Isaac wonders if he will be able to recruit the Caveman, while Caroline ponders recruiting Slimy and Galileo, though Kepler is skeptical. Kepler and Caroline decide to set out to locate the duo, but are confronted by Isaac. Having reached their limit with one another, Caroline and Isaac battle each other, ending in Caroline launching Isaac away with her whale tail. Conflicted and upset, Caroline storms off to have time to herself. Kepler continues alone, worried about Isaac and Caroline.
Far away from the others, Isaac vows revenge on Caroline until he notices a diamond lodged inside a tree. However, the Caveman once again claims it first. Fed up with the Caveman’s interference, Isaac angrily confronts him. However, the fight is cut short when a small volcano erupts, revealing a projection of an entity known as VS. VS tells Isaac and the Caveman that she created the Abnormal District and that the survivors will fall into oblivion along with it. Realizing the gravity of their situation, Isaac and the Caveman put their differences aside and set out to locate the others. 
Kepler eventually encounters Galileo and Slimy yet again. Kepler attempts to convince Galileo to join the survivors, but the latter angrily refuses, planning on using a shuttle to escape. Unfortunately, Slimy accidentally melts the shuttle, as well as Galileo’s GLiTCH creation software. Enraged, Galileo launches Slimy far away, to Kepler’s horror. In a fit of rage, Kepler attacks Galileo, leading to an intense fight culminating in a mech battle. Galileo’s mech overwhelms Kepler’s, leaving them at his mercy. The Caveman and Isaac suddenly intervene, knocking Galileo far away and freeing Kepler. As the trio head off, Kepler begins to contemplate making amends with Galileo. 
Elsewhere, Caroline begins to regret lashing out at Isaac, but is interrupted by Slimy landing near her. She comforts Slimy, allowing her to join the other survivors. As the two head back, they reunite with Kepler, Isaac and the Caveman. Caroline and Isaac apologize for lashing out at one another and reconcile. Just after the group meets up with the others, a massive projection of VS appears. She reveals herself as the creator of the Abnormal District, declaring to cast the survivors into oblivion. VS disappears, but not before causing the Scorched Woods to collapse. The survivors escape, but end up leaving the Mighty Trio behind. A trio of true ViRUSES appear, attacking and successfully infecting the trio. 
==The Edge==
In the Abnormal District’s final area, the Edge, the other survivors are horrified to realize they forgot to rescue the Mighty Trio. Filmore and Candace turn around to rescue them, only to encounter the infected trio, all massive in size. A lengthy and chaotic battle ensues, in which nearly every survivor ends up infected. During the battle, Slimy attempts to reach a leaking pipe containing disinfection water, surviving a barrage of attacks but ultimately falling to the V-Mighty Trio. With everyone infected, the V-CRiTORA have a change of heart, working together to destroy the pipe. Eventually, the pipe bursts open, letting loose a torrent of disinfection water that disinfects all the survivors. The Mighty Trio take vials of the disinfection water, and the group sets off once more.
Elsewhere, Galileo reflects on the events since his falling out with Kepler and his actions, realizing that he is also to blame alongside Kepler and breaking into tears. VS spots him from afar, sending a ViRUS to infect him.
==CRiTOPiA's Core==
As the survivors make their way through the final sections of the Edge, they see CRiTOPiA’s Core, marveling at its beauty. However, V-Galileo suddenly appears, attacking the survivors and splitting them up. Determined to stop him, the Mighty Trio disembark to confront Galileo directly. On the surface, Miyamoto, Paratchet, Mitzi and the Planetary Pals are all gathered around the Industrial District’s trash hole, ready to save the Mighty Trio. Though some express their concerns, Eleanor remains adamant, unwilling to give up on Kepler.
Noticing the survivors attempting to escape, VS hacks in various obstacles from the previous areas in an attempt to deter them. Through their combined efforts, however, the survivors persevere and overcome each obstacle. Meanwhile, the Mighty Trio battles V-Galileo, but he quickly knocks Caroline and Isaac unconscious. V-Galileo pursues Kepler, but a swarm of GLiTCHES suddenly appears, attacking V-Galileo and making him lag. Determined to save him, Kepler saves Isaac and Caroline into their inventory before deleting the GLiTCHES, only to fall unconscious themselves from overexertion. 
As they near the exit, Robin, Filmore and Candace push themselves to their limits to get out in time. The survivors fly upward through the trash hole, landing in the Industrial District. They quickly realize that the Mighty Trio are still underground, however, much to their horror. As the district begins to crumble, Kepler reawakens and reconciles with V-Galileo, accepting their mistakes. Isaac and Caroline reawaken, and the three disinfect Galileo with their disinfection water. Suddenly, the last of the Abnormal District gives way, sending the four plummeting through the void.
At the last second, the four are rescued by Saturday, as well as their allies. All of the survivors combine their strength to pull the four up to the surface to safety. A blue screen of death then appears due to a CRiTORA overload. 
==Epilogue==
After CRiTOPiA restarts, the Mighty Trio reawaken in their respective Districts. Caroline admires Mitzi’s renovation of the confectionery, and is proud of her for overcoming her clumsiness and becoming more responsible. Isaac reawakens at Miyamoto's house, and he, Miyamoto and Paratchet happily play video games with one another. Kepler and Galileo have rekindled their friendship, continuing to research CRiTOPiA with the Planetary Pals’ help. The Mighty Trio, as well as Filmore, Candace, and their allies, later watch the sunrise at the Beach District, reflecting on their adventure.
== Requiem ==
Main article: Queen Creatophage/StoryBianca Creatophage was OS' 100th CRiTORA, though she was quite antisocial by nature, preferring to play with building blocks and tinker with machines rather than interact with other CRiTORA. After several weeks of arduous work, she developed a machine that could create a new species made in her image. While looking for parts to upgrade her machine, Bianca fell into the Industrial District's trash hole. She and her creatures found themselves in a massive junkyard. Bianca and her creations warily made their way through each area of the Abnormal District, eventually reaching its edge.
At the end of their journey, Bianca and her creatures meet VS, who had been observing them. VS reveals that Bianca fell into the Abnormal District, a clandestine fifteenth district created by her. She coerces Bianca into assisting her with stopping OS' plans to further develop CRiTOPiA, to which the latter begrudgingly agrees. VS guides Bianca to her headquarters and hacks into OS' database to remove her data from his history and modify it, renaming Bianca to 'Queen Bianca Creatophage'. She also grants Bianca her own room and an upgraded creation machine, augmenting her creatures. After VS integrates a corrupted version of disinfection water into the machine, these creatures become known as 'ViRUSES'.
VS then relocates Bianca and her ViRUSES to an island on the surface far from CRiTOPiA, dubbed "ViRUTE Bay". As she works on turning the island into a theme park and creating more ViRUSES, Bianca becomes increasingly conflicted with her actions, secretly wishing to return to her normal life in CRiTOPiA. Bianca also creates a unique ViRUS to serve as her companion, which she would name ViRAL Pup.
Some time afterward, Bianca and VS lead a massive army of ViRUSES to CRiTOPiA, initiating the Infestation Invasion. Amid the chaos, Bianca searches for technology for her machines, refusing to face the consequences of her actions. Once the entirety of CRiTOPiA is infected, VS and Bianca attack the CRiTORA Creation Tower. With no other choice, OS retaliates by creating the GUARDiANS, a group of exceptionally powerful CRiTORA, to overpower the ViRUS army, forcing VS and Bianca to retreat.
Upon returning to ViRUTE Bay, Bianca was horrified and conflicted by the aftermath of the invasion, wishing to make a difference despite VS' despotic rule over her. Adopting an anonymous online alias, she contacts several CRiTORA, including Dundun Qwerty, who retained their memories of the Infestation Invasion, proposing an opportunity to work for the ViRUSES under the pretense of seeking revenge for their trauma. leading to the formation of the CRiViRUS Gang. Unbeknownst to them, her true motivation for recruiting them is to allow other CRiTORA to see the destructive potential of ViRUSES firsthand.
In the present day, VS is aware of the survivors' escape from the Abnormal District, and angrily swears revenge on OS and his creations.
