Well, Interloper wasn't too harsh with me (probably just jinxed myself), so let's continue...
Chapter Two
The Infinity Stones
(Inkopolis Park)
Clair and Chloe sat in a park bench, talking. "I'm sorry, Clair. I'm sorry I broke your heart." Clair smiled.
"It's okay, Chloe. I believe a time will come when we'll find them." Chloe nodded. They began to walk to
Clair's apartment, when Sarah ran up to them. "Clair!" She stopped, short of breath. Gasping for air, she
said, "Man, you're hard to find."
Chloe faced Clair. "Who's she?" Her sister answered, "A friend of mine." Facing her, she asked, "What is
it?" Sarah looked up. "We need your help." Raising an eyebrow, Clair asked, "Who's we?" Sarah sighed. "I
can't explain in public. Just meet me at this address. I'll explain there." Clair nodded. Chloe spoke up.
"We'll be there." Sarah nodded, then ran off. Facing her sister, Chloe asked, "Do you think it's about the
others?" Clair shrugged.
(Greg's apartment)
After Clair and Chloe arrived, Otis took out a device and put it on the table. "To explain to you our
situation better, we need to tell you about something, a secret kept by the Ligo family for generations."
He pressed a button. "When humanity went extinct, six elemental crystals appeared. These Infinity
Stones each control a vital aspect of life." As he spoke, a holographic image of the six crystals appeared
above them.
Sarah continued. "Space, Power, Reality, Mind, Soul, and Time." As she spoke, the stones were
illuminated on the hologram, except for one. She opened a pendant she was wearing, revealing a green
stone. Clair looked at the orange stone in the hologram, then took out her own pendant, opening it.
Sarah gasped. "My God, Clair. Where did you get that?" Clair faced her. "It appeared on my nightstand
two years ago. I didn't know what it was."
Scott, who had been sitting at the side, spoke up. "You're missing the point. We have the Time and Soul
Stones. We know where they are. We need to find out who has the other Stones." Greg almost spoke up,
but Scott stopped him. "I'm getting to that."
Clair faced him. "Getting to what?" Scott faced her. "Do either of you know an Octoling by the name of
Cassandra?" They both stared at him. "What does Cass have to do with this?" Greg spoke up. "According
to Scott, she boarded a ship of Octarians that were abandoning Octo Gorge, along with three people who
seem to be her followers. She didn't kill anyone." Scott spoke up. "She collecting the Infinity Stones.
Why, I don't know."
Clair faced him. "Which ones does she have?" Scott sighed. "She has the Power and Space Stones. That
alone makes her the strongest living being in the world. If she gets her hands on all six stones, who
knows what could happen." Clair sighed. "Well, what does the Soul Stone do?" Sarah sighed. "That
knowledge has been lost. Because of that, the Soul Stone is basically useless on its own." Clair nodded.
"Well, can't we put the Time Stone into a garbage can or something?" Sarah shook her head. "No can
do." Otis spoke up. "Our family swore to protect the Time Stone with our lives." Sarah nodded. "Besides,
it may be our best chance against Cass." Chloe spoke up. "Yeah, so, in the same way, it may be her best
chance against us." Scott sighed. "You're missing the point. We need to find the other Stones before Cass
does." Clair thought it over. "Octavio might have the Mind Stone. I remember seeing a yellow stone in his
crown."
Chloe faced them. "We would have no way of knowing where the Reality Stone is, though." Sarah
nodded. "Greg, call Liz and Eight. We'll need backup." Otis faced her. "Should I call in One and Two?"
Sarah thought it over. "Might as well. The more Agents we have working on this, the better." She walked
over to Scott. "Congratulations, Scott. You're now Agent 7 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon." Facing Clair
and Chloe, she said, "That makes you two Agents 9 and 10." The two sisters looked at each other in
surprise.
