ensign Dasnet

It was his vacation, and he had decided to take a ferry to some far off island which the pamphlet suggested was the best get away for a weekend anywhere out of the Grand Line. So far, Adamantune had just experienced a dark, drab scenery, like something from an old slasher flick. It was really all over dramatic, to be honest. There were even these two skeletons set up with swords and shields all like to be scary or something. Was it even Halloween? Was it? Or was this Pseudo-attempt-at-being-creepy-but-terribly-failing-at-accomplishing-that island? He turned around as he heard a fog horn in the distance.

OOOOYYEEEE!

The ferry he had just disembarked was far off out to sea already. With no notice to him at that. Now that he thought about it, the ship he had come on was not even a ferry at all, definitely it was not the ship the travel agent had showed him the picture of the day before. At that, the travel agent also seemed shady in retrospect.

GADAAAAMIIIIIIT!!!!

He punched the nearest tree, with power enough to sprain a normal hand and leave it broken for months. But his hand was mechanical, so it was barely scratched. Adamantune was seething. He punched the tree again. He landed a high kick with a roar, falling down he followed up with a sweeping kick, smashing his shin against the lower part of the trunk, which dislodged a small piece of bark. Breathing heavily, he got up, his anger remaining unsated.

However he knew that he should place his energies towards finding a way off the island, so some exploration was in order. Would there be other people on the island? Well, there were those dressed up skel - huh, where'd they go? They were just standing right there a moment ago, weren't they? This was concerning. Was his memory failing him? Had the skeletons with the weapons in hand just been his imagination? Mirage? Or could someone be playing a prank on him? Then who? He was not close enough to anyone to warrant such an act, he thought. Perhaps, he considered, it was a prank aimed at a random unsuspecting passerby?

OI, WHO THE SHIT DID THAT?! He bellowed as he found himself falling forward. It appeared as though someone had pushed him over. He got up onto all fours. Looking up, Adamantune saw a spoopy scurry skriliton looming over him. Not just one, in fact. TWO SPOOPY SCURRY SKRILITONZ!

EDIT: have installed: Riptide (gun), Firefly (jumping thing), Thriller (punching thing)
have inventory: 2x clips of 21 darts for Riptide

ensign Dasnet

Adamantune scrambled to his feet, moving away from the undead as he did. He was slightly taken aback. These appeared to be the real thing, not marionettes nor men dressed in costumes. Was it a devil fruit power? Were they the creations of some other kind of black magic? Or were these in fact a form of life which took on the form of the human skeletal structure? They did not seem like they were ready to converse, approaching him menacingly as Adamantune slowly stepped away. These creatures were peculiar, to say the least. He did not see any hint of muscle or some mechanism comparable which would move the structure as living fleshy humans had. They were just bones.

On top of that, they wielded weaponry. They were not risen by any natural means. Definitely of the magical incarnation faction. The skeletons clattered as they moved, suggesting that they had not ligaments either. One of the skeletons had a crack down its face, which - Oof! Shit. He had backed into a tree. The skeletons would not stop. They continued to take their scary little baby steps towards ensign Dasnet, who was more confused than scared, to be honest. The skeleton with the crack on its face decided to make the first move. It raised the cutlass above its head, and struck at Adamantune, who parried it by raising his right arm, holding his wrist higher than the elbow of the arm. The metal on metal screeched through the forest, disturbing some crows in a tree along the way.

The skeleton staggered. The other one then began to prepare an attack. Adamantune slipped away to the side of the first attacking skeleton. He ran, deep into the woods, for five minutes, keeping his course as straight as he could. Bent over panting, he attempted to collect his thoughts. However, he jumped a foot back when he saw in front of him, the two skeletons. What?! They were so slow just back there! The skeleton with the cracked face took a step towards the ensign. In a panic, Adamantune emptied about half of his ammunition for Riptide at the skeleton, who blocked about half of the darts shot at it. (in other words, Dasnet hit the trigger three times, shooting out nine darts, five of which were blocked by the skeleton, and only two of the darts not blocked hit their mark)

Unperturbed, the skeleton raised its cutlass to the sky. Adamantune, thinking quickly, aimed at the skeleton's face, shooting three more times, shattering the skeleton's skull. The exhaust of the gun sucked up into his arm as he shot. However, as he fired the third time, the other skeleton bashed him with its shield. Adamantune fell backwards.

While the one skeleton crumpled to the ground, the other seemed to be livelier than before. Even with Adamantune on the ground, the skeleton continued to smash its shield on the cyborg, intent to crush the living being who killed its undead friend. Adamantune counted up to seven shield bashes before he felt that it was enough. He lifted his left arm towards the skeleton. When the skeleton next pulled the shield from its victim's body, said victim used his cybernetically modified arm to throw his fist at the skeleton. The skeleton was at best stunned by the 'attack', which Adamantune took full advantage of.

Breathing heavily, he got up, staring right at the skeleton. The skeleton faced right back at him, unmoving. His gut hurt. Adamantune threw a half-hearted fist at the skeleton who pushed it aside, simultaneously moving to bite the man of metal. Adamantune would have lunged backwards in surprise, but thing is, his outstretched arm that just got parried would not allow that. The skeleton's teeth grabbed hold of Adamantune's exoskeletal face and simply clamped on. He tried to swat the skeleton away, but he only managed to claw at the air. It seemed as though the skeleton could react to all of Dasnet's movements in this position.

But, there was a fixed point at which the skeleton could not move freely. Trying his best, Adamantune wiggled his fingers into the skeleton's mouth. He barely got hold of the corner of the thing's lower jaw. That was all he needed.

Exátmisi! He called, triggering the attack. His right arm shot out, taking the skeleton with it. Its lower jaw was ripped from its skull, the rest of the animated skeleton flew out into a tree. With a warcry, Dasnet chased it, first kicking it, then getting down real close to the skeleton, aiming at the thing's skull, and firing the last round of darts into it.

He got up, brushed himself off, and looked around.

Now, how do I get out of here?
