0002 (OASIS: Trials of BL00DSHED)

**0002** is the second episode of the first season of the Average Films limited series OASIS: Trials of BL00DSHED. It is 1 hour and 34 minutes long and it is written and directed by ProGamerDude543.

## Plot

As Matt and Alex are flying through space, they spot a large Imperial Star Destroyer and are forced into a skirmish. A skirmish is a large spaceship dogfight event that regularly occurs across space. Large dispatches of AI enemy ships are deployed from a large one for surrounding players to destroy and collect coins from. As the two are battling TIE Fighters, the Razor Crest is shot down and the ship falls into an Under Construction area of the OASIS. Alex turns around his Arwing and goes to check on his friend, and enters the area as well. The two then discover that the large building that was under construction in the area was a secret IOI base, chock-full of Sixers. The two decide to sneak inside and see what was going on, and then hide when the Sixers almost spot them. BL00DSHED goes invisible, but Walker, with his avatar being a large robot, is not as lucky, so BL00DSHED quickly buys him an Invisibility Cloak in XXL size through his HUD. The two slink throughout the facility but soon see Martin Sorrento entering the OASIS. BL00DSHED realizes that they could both be killed IRL if they stay, so they teleport away.

The two then invite Ultroid, 9inety9ine, and Enclaive to a private chat room to discuss what they found. BL00DSHED decides to try and stop IOI from attempting to conduct even more shady business in the OASIS, but 9inety9ine begs him not to, in fear of him and the others potentially being murdered. BL00DSHED argues that since they are the only people who know this information. it's on them to stop it, and if the public were to know, it would cause worldwide panic. Ultroid finally lands on a situation and decides the gang should try and contact the High 5, so that's what they decide to do. They journey to the High 5 mansion only to find no one there. They check the news and discover that the High 5's accounts have been locked out of the OASIS due to a change in the source code. Enclaive shrugs this off and just says that they can go to them in real life, but 9inety9ine shuts down this idea, telling her that there is no way all their parents would collectively agree to send them to Columbus, and even so, their contact information was made private to prevent stalking. So the 5 decide to take matters into their own hands and go to the facility to take it down.
