Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard, Squid!
The train kept moving.
Agent 8, who was better known as Mindy, was sitting away from everyone in the back of the train. She looked out the nearest window, looking out at what's surrounding the outside of the train.
Outside the train was dim. Nothing really showed at all as the train zipped right past everything outside it.
Mindy then sighed and stopped looking out the window. She then looked at the other seats in front of her.
There was two people who were not really near her: the Captain and Iso.
Iso, in her eyes, was fine. He was giving her gear that would be great to wear up on the surface. She couldn't wait to put the clothes on!
Then, there's the Captain. She didn't like him. She hated almost everything about him in general.
But, there was one person or thing that she hated the most on this train: the Conductor. She hated him with a passion.
Everytime Mindy was assigned a test, he would almost always fail her. It just made her blood boil.
She was just getting sick of doing all the tests she had to do.
As the train kept moving, Mindy started to hum quietly to herself Calamari Inkantation, the song that made her what she was now: free from Octarian Society. She smiled to herself, continuing to hum the song.
Even though she can't remember that much of what happened before she was in the Metro, she remembers that she was apart of the Octarian Army as a leader of some sort, and that her name was Mindy.
She also remembers that she was fighting someone during her time in the Army, but, who would that be?
It didn't matter. As long as the octoling was now free from the society that she used to be in, it didn't matter much.
Then, it happened.
The train stopped with a loud screech from the tracks. Mindy looked up and saw that the train stopped at a train stop.
Is some other freak going to come aboard? Mindy thought.
She then stood up, walking out of the train to greet what she called 'freak'.
As she looked around, she saw someone that looked almost like her, but had some sort of cloth covering their left eye.
"Excuse me?" Mindy spoke. "Aren't you going to get on the train?"
The mysterious person then stood up and walked into the train. Mindy followed them.
As the train started to move, Mindy saw more of the mysterious person. They had their 'hair' up, and that they were wearing some sort of crossing guard outfit.
The Captain looked over at the mysterious person, his eyes opened wide.
"Agent 3? Is that you?" the Captain spoke with a hint of shock in his voice.
Agent 3? Mindy questioned in her mind. Guess I'm not the only agent.
The mysterious person nodded, then spoke. "Yup. It's me."
Mindy's eyes widened.
It couldn't be! This person must be lying, Mindy thought.
"Are you sure you are Agent 3?" Mindy questioned them.
The so-called Agent 3 looked at Mindy. "I am Agent 3, but you can call me Three for short."
Mindy sighed quietly, rolling her eyes. She looked more closely at them. She saw that they were wearing a black cape.
That's when it clicked.
"Oh my cod, you ARE Agent 3!" Mindy said out loud.
"Guess I changed your mind, huh?" Three told the octoling, smirking.
Mindy couldn't believe it. Agent 3 was riding on this train, with her in it.
"M-May I ask you a question, Three?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"What's underneath that cloth?"
Three's eyes opened wide. "Well, it's a long story," he told her.
Mindy told him, "Do you mind telling me? It may help me recover my memory."
"I'm very sorry," Three told her, "I can't. I would be discovered as a…"
"As a what?" Mindy asked.
"Can we not continue this conversation?" Three tells her. "I want to know your name. What is your name?"
"My name is Mindy," the octoling tells Three, smiling.
"Thank you," Three said.
