On we go. Had to retype this due to the file being deleted for some reason.
Chapter Four
The Reality and Soul Stones
(Octo Valley)
Clair looked at what was left of the settlement. Somewhere down there was the Soul Stone, and they needed to find it. Cathy walked over, and
faced Clair. "I was hoping to never lay eyes on this place again..." Clair nodded in agreement. Facing the others, she said, "The kettles have
collapsed, so we can assume the Stone isn't in those. Cass wouldn't have put the Stones where it was downright impossible to find them." They
all nodded in agreement.

Marie sighed and looked at Callie, who was still climbing up the hill. "Come on, Callie. Even Gramps did better than that." Callie looked at her
cousin with a glare. "Shut up." She reached the top of the hill. "Look. There's a building up there." Marie cocked her head. "That's odd. We never
had a cabin in Octo Ravine." Callie shrugged. "Who cares? Let's just look in there first." Marie shrugged. "Fair enough." The two cousins
approached the building, weapons ready.

Clair took note of a cliff nearby, and a ghost of what appeared to be a human, staring at them. "Welcome, C Group. I've been expecting you."
Clair faced him. "Who are you?" The spirit replied, "Consider me a guide, to what you seek, and what you most fear." Clair nodded. "Okay,
where's the Soul Stone?" The spirit faced her. "You should know that the Infinity Stones are not for the feint of heart." Clair faced him. "Our sister
wielded the Stones once."
The guide cocked his head. "Did she survive?" Clair nodded. "For a while. She did because of them, but only because she used them to scatter
them." The spirit nodded, then looked at a long wooden crate nearby. "Within that crate is a pair of ancient weapons, once wielded by a warrior
known as Thor. Stretch out your hand, Clair." She raised an eyebrow, but did as he said. Instantly, a hammer flew out of the crate, smashing it
open, and landed in her hand.
She stared at it in amazement. "That is Mjolnir. It was reforged with the power of the Infinity Stones, and left here for another warrior to claim it.
Only those who are worthy can wield it, however. Since you can wield the hammer, you can wield the other weapon as well." Clair stretched out
her free hand, causing an axe to fly out of the remains of the crate, and Clair caught it with ease. "That is Stormbreaker. It was forged to replace
Mjolnir, and was brought here after Thor died."
Clair took note of them. Cathy spoke up. "Got enough for the rest of us?" The spirit faced her. "There are only two." Cathy sighed. "Damn..." As
Clair put Stormbreaker behind her ink tank, an orange beam of light appeared. "The Soul Stone calls to the one it has chosen." Clair stepped
forward, and stretched out her hand. The Soul Stone floated out of the light, landing in Clair's hand. The spirit spoke up. "You have now recovered
two of the Stones. Your goal will come to light."

Marie checked her messages, having heard her text alert go off. "It's Clair. They have the Soul Stone." Callie nodded. "Thank Cod. Let's find the
Reality Stone and get out of here." They stepped inside the building, and saw the Reality Stone laying on a table, guarded by a Salmonid. Marie
easily Splatted it, and they looked at the Stone. "You know, if the Stones didn't have the power to wipe out life on an unprecedented scale, this
would be totally awesome."
Marie rolled her eyes, and picked up the Stone, putting it into the pendant they'd found. They walked outside, and Marie sent a message to the
rest of the Splatoon. "We have the Reality Stone. Proceeding to base."
