So… It's been a LONG time since I said I was going to write a remake of this story and I am so sorry for the wait. I have been really lazy or the past… Well… Who knows at point. I'm terribly sorry that it took this long and I'm hoping that this story will get me back into writing instead of putting it off until "later".

Important: I gotta thank Chancezilla for helping me out with this story. If it weren't for him helping me bring this story to life, it would've been swept into the trash bin of 'failed stories'. So thanks so much, Chancezilla!

One more thing: For the people who have read the original "A Blast From The Past", this is going to be very different from that version. So much so to the point where calling it "A Blast From The Past Remake" isn't exactly accurate, but I'm gonna stick with it until I come up with a title.

Anyway! That's enough of me taking up your time. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1:

It was a cool summer's night. The moonlight shone down on the crystal clear ocean water as Cuttlefish sat in his boat, looking at a map. "Hmmm… We're getting close, squiddo!" He exclaimed happily.

Agent Three, a male inkling with light blue tentacles and orange eyes, looked at him and shot him a smile as he kept their shields replenished by turning a crank on the side of the motor.

"If I'm reading this correctly…" Cuttlefish started as he grabbed a pair of binoculars. "The island should be just over there…" He pointed forward before looking through his binoculars. "Aha!" He said as he spotted the island. "Full speed ahead, bucko!"

Agent Three saluted him and smiled before doing what he was told and kicking it up to full speed.

Later…

The duo pulled up next to the island and docked the boat, making sure it wasn't gonna float off into the sea, and disembarked for the ruins. "Careful, boyo…" Cuttlefish warned as he passed him a backpack full of tools, ancient writing decrypters, and other things they need. "I got a bad feelin' 'bout this place…"

Agent 3 nodded and pulled his Heroshot out as he followed Cuttlefish, watching everything very intently. He didn't have a good feeling about being there either.

His fear was then justified when Cuttlefish held his arm out. "Shhh."

In front of them was a group of elite octolings. Each one was armed and looked like they were going to the same place that they were headed to, the ruins of a building left over from when ancients walked the Earth.

Agent Three then aimed his gun at them, ready to spring out and splat them all. But Cuttlefish held his arm out yet again. "No!" He whispered. "Let them pass."

The small army of octolings marched towards the ruins and the two soon realized that the Octarians know full well what is hidden beyond the old, worn down steel doors. Then, from the middle of the group, an octoling with blood red tentacles and a green diamond-like shape on her chestplate bawled. "GET IN THERE NOW! I DON'T PAY YOU TO SIT AROUND ALL DAY!"

All of the elites seem shaken. "Y-YES, MA'AM!" They all said in unison before bolting inside.

While the elites looked around, The blood red tentacled octoling scanned the treeline, however she didn't see Cuttlefish and Agent Three watching them from afar.

Cuttlefish studied her face closely when he realized something and gasped. "Wait… Those oddly coloured eyes… Crazed smile… T-the symbol on her chestplate… B-boyo… This ain't good."

Agent Three just looked at him with a confused expression on his face, he had no idea who she was or what importance she held, other than that she was a higher up to the elites.

Cuttlefish then turned to face him. "That's Octavio's granddaughter… Octavia."

An elite then ran out of the building. "P-princess Octavia! We've found two separate pieces of ancient writing on the machines!"

Octavia grinned. "Take me to them."

The elite nodded and started leading her inside.

"Let's move up, boyo! They all seem to be going in." Cuttlefish said before walking out without waiting for an answer.

Agent Three then quickly shot up and chased after him and the two took cover behind one of the walls. Then then started listening closely to what was being said.

Octavia walked up to the pods and grinned yet again. "Ahh… Such amazing pieces of technology!" She placed a hand on the glass and looked at the human inside. He was a male with brownish-blackish hair wearing a pair of black half-rim seeing glasses and a hoodie. "Surely this is our key to victory."

"Princess, what about the writing? You can read ancient writing, correct?" One of the elites asked her as they pointed at some writing on the pod.

She pushed her out of the way and read it aloud. "Code: 28576" She paused. "No idea why anyone would leave a code out like this, or how it managed to stay there for cod only knows how long, but it's very convenient." Octavia then walked over to the panel connecting the two pods, typed the code in, and pushed the big red button.

Everyone stood back as the pod's doors slowly opened. "Wooooow…" They all said in awe.

In the right pod was also a male. He had a long, green trench coat on as well as green hair. He opened his eyes and calmly walked out. "Hello…. Uh…." he looked a bit confused when he seen an army of what looked like humans with tentacles staring back at him. "W-what the-

Before he could speak another word, the male with the glasses fell forward and landed flat on his face. This jolted him awake and he shot up, his glasses somehow staying on his face and in one piece. "Ow. I think I-" He froze with his mouth open when he seen the octolings as well.

"I'm gonna have to ask you both to please not freak out. We understand you are scared and confused about what we are and what is currently happening, however our princess will explain everything and answer all questions you have." The elite nearest to them explained.

The male in the trenchcoat nodded. "Gotcha. But before we start, I gotta tell you that Zack over there is a jokester." He pointed to the boy with the glasses. "He won't play pranks on you or anything, but he'll try and make you laugh, y'know? So if he says something off, take it with a pinch of salt. He uh… He loves to joke around, even at bad times."

Zack then looked at him. "Buddy, we just crawled out of a glorified refrigerator, I don't have any jokes yet."

The trench coat male looked at Octavia. "See what I mean?"

Octavia could only giggle, which left all of the Elites stunned. They had never heard her giggle before, only the orders that came from her, telling them what to do. "Well then." She started. "I am Princess Octavia. This place is not safe, so if you'd be so kind to follow me, I'd happily bring you both somewhere safe." She looked at them with a friendly yet crazed stare.

"Uh… Sure, m-miss." The male in the trench coat said. The stare oc Octavia cutting through him like a knife, causing him to feel tense. "You can call me "Chance" by the way."

"Well then. Chance, Zack, follow me." She turned around and started walking off with her elites.

Before he could take a step, Chance pulled Zack to the side. "Hey, Zack. Listen, I don't have a good feeling about her. She seems… Crazy."

Zack put a hand on his shoulder. "Buddy, you've had to deal with me for over a year. I'm pretty sure you're immune to craziness now."

Chance shook his head. "No, I mean, like… Worse than you. WAAAY worse than you."

Zack looked away. "Sheesh. That's scary to think of." He then looked back at him. "Welp, only one way to find out. Follow her and pray to god she doesn't kill us."

Chance sighed. "Very reassuring, Zack. Very reassuring."

An elite then opened the door and poked her head in. "Are you two coming today or tomorrow?"

"Sorry!" Chance replied before both him and Zack followed her out of the building and into a forest.

Meanwhile, Agent Three and Cuttlefish where making a mad dash back to their boat. "Hurry, Bucko! We gotta get back and let the others know what happened before it's too late!"

They quickly tossed all of their gear into the boat, hopped in after they got the boat freed, and sped off into the neverending sea, which was still showing the stars dancing overhead on the calm coastal water.

Thanks so much for reading the first chapter. Assuming I don't get lazy again, the next part should be out soon!

Again, massive thanks to Chancezilla for helping me bring this story to life!
