(A/N)

Hey. This chapter is Mimi's POV. Don't read this. Read the story below! Enjoy!!

I jumped quickly down into the cabin again and then into the cafeteria. The Octopuses followed, trying to take me by surprise by striking their tentacles from behind.

Obviously, my INT gave me enough power to sense them. I dashed right to the wall and swerved suddenly. All the Octopuses following collided into the wall as I rushed up back to the deck.

Mere strength isn't all the things needed to win a battle, I thought as I smirked at how the Octopuses were crammed up into the wall.

In the sea….

"That eight-tentacle legged idiot." Ben muttered.

"My least favourite sea creature is the shark, now I think I dislike octopuses most." Joe said.

"If I ever get back onto that ship, the Octopuses are dead!! You hear me?! DEAD!!" Eve screamed at the top of her lungs.

Ben and Joe stucked damp tissue papers into their ears.

"C'mon! Let's swim after the ship!" Ben called.

"You're dead!! You're dead, Octopus!!" Eve yelled again.

"Frogstyle!!" grinned Ben as he showed off his swimming skills.

"The Freestyle is better." Eve mumbled.

"Help! How do I swim?" Joe screamed in fright as he struggled.

At that moment, a speedboat sped at the trio and picked them up.

"Yo. Thanks!" Ben said as he did a victory dance.

"Thanks, hoo boys!!" Eve yelled again.

"That was very nice. Thanks!" Joe bowed.

"No problemo. The captain of the flying ship sent us." winked one sailor.

Back at the ship….

I spotted a sailor shirt on the deck and put it on as the Octopuses rushed up.

The Octopuses glanced at me, then turned away and continued searching. They didn't recognize me of course. As they searched frantically, I sneaked into the cabin and hid in a mega-huge box.

Exactly fifteen minutes and twenty seconds later, I heard a yell. "Take that, you eight-tentacle legged beast!"

"Eve." I muttered and came out of my hiding place. "Eh?" I was face to face with three Octopuses.

The first Octopus dived at me. I dodged and the Octopus ran into the wall.

I predicted the second Octopus would turn left. I swerved to the right and managed to kick the third Octopus in the stomach. In the corner of my eye, I spied the second Octopus colliding into twenty crates. As the third Octopus was groaning in pain, I rushed up to the deck quickly.

"Hey Mimi." Ben waved as he swung an Octopus around by the tentacle like a hula hoop and threw it into the sea.

"Hyaaaaaa!!" I saw Eve aim a flying kick at an Octopus and it fell into the sea too.

"Ben, behind you!!" I yelled.

Ben spun round and sliced the sneaky Octopus into half.

Suddenly, we heard a loud bang. "All passengers. We have landed at Victoria Island." came the voice from the radio. Joe and I jumped out of the ship quickly with five Octopuses chasing us.

"Stand back, Mimi!" Joe called as he chopped off an Octopus's tentacle. However, it's other tentacle grabbed him but Ben jumped out of the ship quickly and sliced up all the tentacles.

Another Octopus grabbed him and Eve came flying out of the ship and kicked the Octopus in the head, causing it to lose consciousness and freeing Ben.

"Whew. Just three more." I muttered.

Ben took on one, Joe took on another, and Eve took on the third. In forty seconds, they were able to finish all the Octopuses.

"Let's explore." I said.

Joe flipped open the Maple Book and turned to the 'Map' page.

"We're in Lith Harbour." Joe announced.

"What's that?" Ben asked, reaching for the book in his bag.

"It is the first place we arrive on when we get out of the ship. It is a small harbour. You can take the VIP cab from here to the Dungeon where only Level 30 plus should go. If you want to go somewhere other than the Dungeon, there's a travel booth near the ships. Buy a ticket and you can get on board the train to the island you want to go. You can go to Florida Beach from here." I said, without even looking at the book.

Immediately, everyone began shooting questions at me.

"Harbour? Do ships dock here?"

"If ships dock here, can I get a ride?"

"Why must we be Level 30 plus before we can go to the Dungeon?"

"What's Florida Beach?"

"There are trains even on Maple Story?"

"What cities are there beside the Dungeon and Lith Harbour?"

"SILENCE!! Can you all please shut up while I answer your questions?" I asked in a mother-like tone.

"Shoot."

"First of all, ships don't dock here except the ship from Maple Island and from Florida Beach. They just call it a harbour because many sailors hang out here."

"Secondly, no ships dock here, so you can't get any ride."

"Thirdly, the Dungeon is very dangerous. If you are lower than Level 30 plus, you will surely be killed if you step in."

"And the next question, Florida Beach is a beach with wild monkeys we call Lupins, Lorangs, Clangs, and Torties."

"Yes. The only train is in Lith Harbour."

"There are Henesys, Ellinia, and Kerning City."

"Any more questions?" Mimi panted.

"No." chorused everyone in unison.
