It was a normal day at the Octoling Base. Everyday is the same schedule. Training, training and more training. Many of my colleagues aspire to become of the elite and wear those strange seaweed on their hair. They are well-respected and carry the best weapons.

But our objective remains the same: Snatch all the zapfish ever existed, so our lovely leader, DJ Octavio can destroy Inkopolis and rule the world.

Though, everybody hates me for some unknown reason. But should I give a fishstick for that? Of course not. Everyone hates me except for one particular Octoling. Her name is Star Lightning. She is a weirdo, I won't lie.

Star Lightning's most prominent feature is her hair. Bright yellow, not the usual dark magenta color.

Believe me, having her as a roommate is one big pain in the rear. Wanna know? Here you go.

"GOOD MORNING, SNOWY FLAKEY! HOW'S MY BEST GIRLFRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WOOOOOOOORLD!" She kicks my bedroom door wide open and starts jumping all over the place, even in my bed. I was having a nice long nap when that...that...whatever name I would like to say, jolted me awake.

"For the octopus sake, Star! I AM NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" I exclaimed with a very annoyed voice.

"Aw come oooon! I know you love me, snowy flakey. Why don't you open your heart and let the power of the love overwhelm your senses?" She giggled after saying that. Obviously, I did not buy that.

"Oh really? Then why don't you open your heart and let the power of the SHUT THE CRAB UP OVERWHELM YOUR SENSES?"

She simply laughed as hard as she could.

"Awww! Aren't you the sweetest i... er, I mean, Octoling ever existed? Look at you! Admit that you love me! Remember the first day I met you! Remember the day we k..." I knew immediately what she was about to say and shut her mouth with my hands.

"Nobody gives a squid for that stupid story of yours, got that?" She shuts her eyes as a way for smiling and nods. I let go her mouth afterwards.

"Thank you"

"You are welome, my love!"

"STOP WITH THOSE NAMES FOR THE LOVE OF OCTOPUS!" She really triggered me now.

"Why should I? You are my special friend, hello?"

"That special friend is not me, jeez!"

"Awww. Someone is upset with me. How cute!"

See what I mean? She is the worst octoling ever existed. It's too bad we are inmortals.

Without hesitation, I stood up and wore my daily uniform. Star was still on her tank top and shorts for some reason. Is she going to skip training today or something like that?

"Why don't you get dressed, weirdo?" I asked Star still with an annoyed voice. "The daily training is about to begin and today we are infiltrating Inkopolis to steal the zapfish near sector 17"

"Training? Pfff. Booooring. I don't need training to be of the elite. I just want to train my snowy flakey to open her heart and love this despicable octoling"

I refused to give a response and walked to the training area. All the octolings were already practicing. My favorite weapon is the Charger. When it comes in terms of providing covering fire and go into solo missions, this is where I sign up for the task. Of all the missions we had, I never missed a shot. My accuracy is flawless.

The fun part is that I have been here for almost three weeks and many of the Octolings in the base seems to hate me more. Once again, I don't give and ink about that. I'm happy and that's it.

"YOU! THE WEIRDO! COME HERE NOW!"

Oh my goodness, if it isn't my archnemesis Octyuri. She is the most popular octoling here at the base. Plus, she is from the elite to make matters worse. I walked straight up to her and heard her tantrum.

"YOU PIECE OF CRAB, HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET AHEAD OF US WHEN I GIVE THE ORDERS! HAVE YOU GOT NO RESPECT FOR YOUR LEADER, OCTYURI? HUH? ANSWER ME!"

I was completely calm. She cannot intimidate me at all.

"Who says I should respect you when all the time you always pull Star's hair. I hate her, but she is my roomate."

"YOU DARE TO DISS ME?"

"In your face, bitch"

"I'LL SHOW YOU WHO THE BITCH IS!" She was about to slap me with all her might when a mysterious magenta beam weakens her rapidly. I realized who shot that beam.

"ENOUGH, OCTYURI!"

Yup. It is our lovely boss DJ Octavio. I immediately bowed to him, so the rest did.

"THOSE WHO DARE TO GO OVER MY CROWN, SHALL BE PUNISHED SEVERLY WITH ETERNAL DEATH! IS THAT CLEAR!"

"Yes, DJ Octavio!" All replied.

"That's more like it. And now, Snowflake, I would like to have a word with you. Meet me at my lair in ten minutes. No delay!"

"Yes, DJ Octavio!" I replied this time and he flies off. Then I turned to see Octyuri and chuckled. "See? Who's the leader here? Him, not you. Bitch."

Octyuri just kept staring at me and after a angry snarl, she whispers. "We will meet again, Snowflake..."
