Kepler Solarowl's role in CRiTORA.

## Background

Kepler is the tenth of the Planetary Pals, a group of CRiTORA based on the planets in the Solar System, with Kepler representing the Solar System as a whole. At an unknown point, Kepler developed a close friendship with Galileo Cosmosnap, researching everything about CRiTOPiA alongside him and the Planetary Pals. However, based on evidence of a missing CRiTORA, Galileo proposed to Kepler about a fifteenth District. Kepler did not believe him, causing the two to argue until Kepler lashed out at their former best friend.

At an unknown point, Kepler once invited the Planetary Pals for tea, where none of them spoke, disturbing Kepler. The Planetary Pals questioned Kepler's habits, making them nervous.

During the Infestation Invasion. Kepler fought alongside the rest of the Planetary Pals at the Moon District. When they and Eleanor Worldhopper try to reach the space station, it was blown up. After the invasion, Kepler ended up in the Abnormal District.

## *CRiTORA: abnormal*

### Chapter 1

Kepler was already awake when they ended up exploring the Abnormal District. They soon found a large van, which turned out to be Filmore Hillton, who offered Kepler a ride. After the two find more survivors and escape falling stalactites, Kepler introduces themself to the other survivors, who were surprised to discover there were ten Planetary Pals.

### Chapter 2

After escaping giant strange ViRUSES, Kepler and Caroline work together to find Isaac, who tried dealing with the giants by himself. Kepler would stop an aggressive Sweetpop from attacking Caroline after she finds honey. The three of them soon work together to look for Isaac, who is at grandfather clock building. Kepler and the others manage to find him and Cuckoo and escape the Junkyard as it fully crumbles. The survivors would end up in the Frozen Foundry.

### Chapter 3

Kepler would settle a conflict between Isaac and Caroline about Slimy. When the three encounter Slimy, she giggles and runs away, leading the Mighty Trio to a turtle-shaped building where Kepler's former best friend-turned enemy Galileo was there. When Kepler tries to fight him, Galileo presses a button belonging to a control panel, taking the Mighty Trio to a maze-like floor and separating them. While alone, Kepler notices a strange message with a scratched off name:

*"B... ...a C... ...e was here."*

As the maze crumbles, Isaac, Caroline, and Spud find Kepler, but the four of them are blown away by Galileo creating a blizzard with his control panel. The four crash into Filmore's backdoor.

### Chapter 4

Kepler's past with Galileo is revealed. They wake up late and miss breakfast, but Caroline has saved some for them. After sneezing is heard outside, the Mighty Trio investigates with hot potatoes given to them by Spud. After a difficult venture looking for the source of the sneezing, the trio finds a sick Nostradamus in a tissue box house. After Nostradamus sneezes Isaac and Caroline away with his air-filled sneeze, Kepler looks for their allies as Filmore picks up Nostradamus.

Kepler would soon find Isaac, having lost his second fight against the Caveman. The two soon find Caroline and Mirabel trying to escape a snowed in cabin. Kepler and Caroline use their hot potatoes to melt the snow, which caused the wires to spark uncontrollably. The four CRiTORA manage to enter Filmore in time as they escape the Frozen Foundry and enter the Lightning Lakes.

### Chapter 5

Kepler and Caroline once again look for Isaac after he searches for a strange LiFEFORM-like bird. As they do so, Kepler is struck by lag lightning, making them lag shortly. Kepler soon tries to rescue Bonkers, trapped by seaweed, only to be struck by lag lightning and lag again. Kepler, alongside Isaac and Bonkers, are rescued by Saturday's branches.

### Chapter 6

Kepler and their allies try to free Filmore from GLiTCHES, strange creatures that are neither CRiTORA or ViRUSES, but are unable to do so. As the GLiTCHES swarm the survivors inside Filmore, Kepler and their allies escape as some GLiTCHES chase them away. Kepler is shocked to see Galileo again, revealing he was the one behind creating the GLiTCHES. Slimy creates more GLiTCHES to swarm the Mighty Trio. A bolt of lag lightning strikes the Mighty Trio, deleting the GLiTCHES while making the trio lag. Kepler soon finds Norten in a lake shaped like the letter V, afraid of leaving the lake until they convinced him to join them.

While Kepler and Isaac quickly flew away once the Lightning Lakes were crumbling, Caroline and Norten struggled to catch up. Kepler and Isaac find Filmore, completely unresponsive from the weight of several CRiTORA inside him. Once Caroline and Norten showed up, the four CRiTORA were struck by lake lightning once more. The other survivors struggled to move them until Saturday used their branches to place the Mighty Trio inside. As Filmore was still unresponsive, Robin used the limits of her strength to lift Filmore up and escape to the Scorched Woods with everyone.

As Filmore passed out, some of the survivors, including Kepler, rested outside. They, Isaac, and Caroline rested on Saturday's branches.

### Chapter 7

As Filmore recovers consciousness and hears honking sounds from Candace, Kepler and their allies search for her. Inside Candace, Kepler and their allies are overwhelmed by a trio of upgraded ViRUSES, as well as Isaac and Caroline arguing. The other survivors help Candace and the Mighty Trio deal with the upgraded ViRUSES, deleting them. As Filmore and Candace escape a volcano eruption, Kepler is disturbed by Caroline and Isaac's silence while inside Candace, reminding them of their previous friendship. Kepler becomes shocked as Caroline states she is done with Isaac.

### Chapter 8

Caroline asks Kepler if Galileo and Slimy will escape. Kepler doubts the former will join them, but the latter being a possibility. Kepler is horrified when Isaac and Caroline get into a fight, with Isaac being smacked away as Caroline stomps away to be alone. Kepler now had to look for their allies, as well as Slimy and Galileo.

Kepler soon encountered Galileo and Slimy. Kepler tells Galileo they need to escape together, only for Galileo to refuse, wanting to escape with his space shuttle, which Slimy dissolved with her slime. Galileo reminds Kepler that he was right about a fifteenth District existing, as well as reminding Kepler they hurt him. Just as Galileo prepares to create more GLiTCHES, Slimy had dissolved the software, causing Galileo to toss Slimy far away. In extreme shock at how he treated her, Kepler creates another meteor at Galileo, resulting in a furious fight between Kepler and Galileo. Galileo has the upper hand until Isaac and the Caveman show up, having put their rivalry aside. The Caveman throws his diamond axe at Galileo, sending the Galactic CRiTORA flying.

Kepler, Isaac, and the Caveman soon meet up with Caroline, who has found Slimy and apologizes to Isaac, causing the Mighty Trio to exchange a group hug. Filmore and Candace show up to pick up the Caveman and Slimy. Meanwhile, Kepler was secretly worried about Galileo, fearing he may not make it out of the Abnormal District.

Just as everyone is about to leave, a projection of VS appears, horrifying everyone. Volcanoes are set off in chain reaction, causing everyone but the Mighty Trio to escape. Kepler didn't know what to say about VS as a trio of true ViRUSES appeared behind them and their allies. VS' projection appears again, distracting Kepler and their allies as the ViRUSES attack and successfully infect them.
