The story of Captain Atarime and DJ Octavia

(I decided to make this post to explain the story of Atarime and Octavia, in case anyone is curious to know what their story is :o)

First of all...

Who are Atarime and Octavia?

(They are the young and female versions of Cap'n Cuttlefish and DJ Octavio)

Story:

It all started in Calamari County, 12 years ago, Atarime lived with her family in Calamari County, one day she decided to enter Mount Nantai, what she didn't expect is that there she would meet Octavia, the daughter of the kings of the Octarian kingdom and future heir to the throne

Despite her grandmother's warnings not to go near the Octolings as she thought they were dangerous, Atarime decided to ignore the warnings and talk to Octavia, they quickly became friends and met on Mount Nantai every day

Atarime entered a school to follow her dream of being a Captain, Octavia managed to convince her parents to let her go to the same school as Atarime, but if she caused any problems that endangered her reputation, they would never let her return to school

At first everything was going well, until a girl named Celine, who was already friends with Atarime before meeting Octavia, became jealous that she spent more time with Octavia than with her, so, she devised a plan to kill her, When she was about to kill Octavia, Atarime managed to stop her, but as revenge, Celine faked her death by throwing herself off a cliff in front of Atarime and Octavia, but she swore that one day she would return

A few days later, Atarime was being blamed for the "Celine's death" but Octavia decided to say that she had been responsible for Celine's death so that Atarime wouldn't be expelled, after this, the school expelled Octavia, her parents, the Takeshi and Miranda Takowasa, decided to hide everything about what had happened and never allow Octavia to leave the castle again

Years passed and after Atarime's graduation, at the age of 10, she moved to Inkopolis along with her friends, Pearl and Xena, Octavia decided to go live with her in Inkopolis, but she had to return to the castle for a few days so her parents would not suspect anything, Atarime created a group called "The Squidbeak Splatoon", Atarime and Octavia began to train to become idols and they had fun with their friends Xena and Pearl playing Turf wars in their team called "Team Fantasy", they even won a tournament

At the age of 14, Atarime and Octavia went to live in Inkopolis square, Xena and Pearl accompanied them as well, Xena continued studying to become a scientist and Pearl opened Grizzco industries, Atarime and Octavia became idols known as "Mc Star" and "DJ Fresh" in her band called "Cephalopop"

(Also, at age 14, Atarime and Octavia discovered that they could travel to other dimensions)

after having defeated Tartar, Celine returned, but thanks to the help of her friends from other dimensions, they managed to stop her

And few months later, Octavia confessed her feelings to Atarime and she accepted it and from here they would start dating

After the Final fest, someone revealed that Octavia was DJ Fresh and that quickly ruined her reputation as the future queen of the Octarians, her parents, after seeing this, decided that she would no longer be the future queen of the Octarians, they decided that it would be better that James (Octavia's cousin and who by the way, wanted the throne and hated Octavia because she was going to be the queen of the Octarians) would be the new king of the Octarians instead of Octavia, Octavia would no longer be allowed to leave the castle, to make sure she didn't escape, they increased the security of the castle, and that was not all, but they would send some guards to look for Atarime since the kings blamed her for Octavia's behavior

And after this happened, the 4 friends had to separate, Xena went to a city called Coral city to continue her studies while Pearl stopped being the head of Grizzco industries and went to sail the seas to investigate more about salmonids

Atarime and Octavia had to escape from their dimension and after spending 1 year hidden in another dimension, they were captured, while they were captured in the castle, Tartar took Atarime's white ink, since she needed it for a project she is working on, after this, they were both rescued by their friends from other dimensions

Currently, both are 17 years old, they are safe in another dimension, and they are thinking of a plan to stop Tartar

Splatoon 3 Story (Coming soon in 2022!)

3 years have passed since the tragedy...

After losing everthing, Atarime, now an adult, lives in Splatsville, a city far from Inkopolis, she arrived to Splatlands when she was 17 years old and has been living in Splatsville alone with a small salmonid that she rescued and a small baby great zapfish

in Splatsville, she will meet Cassandra and Ivy, the new idols of Splatsville and Elizabeth Kamabo, the last human and creator of Tartar

the story continues in Splatoon 3...

(I know it's been a looong time but-)

(I made a tiny Aurora drawing and i wanted to post it here since it's been a long time since i posted something :'3)

[captainatarime]

Mayra: "B-But hey! It was a good Splatfest right, Eight?"

Octavia: "........."

Mayra: "E-eight...?"

[captainatarime]

"Octavia!! You're alright!! You...lost an arm!!" Octa gasped. "Oh gosh, what happened to you?!"

"U-um... h-hello?" Octavia got nervous "I-im... i'm sorry... but... Who is... Octavia...? And... W-who are you...?"

"Eight! What are you doing? I thought you left for a second!" Mayra returned to Octavia "Oh! You found someone! Hi! I don't think we know each other, I'm Mayra! sorry, Eight is very shy heheh... Wait, are you friends with Eight?"

[manysquidsandoctos]

"Have you tried...eating the mem cakes? Wait actually, maybe don't, that sounds like it wouldn't work." Octa waved her hand, as if to shoo the thought away. It was pretty cursed. "Ah....a device in her eye?! That is very scary and dangerous, I think!! How is she even...alive?! Have you tried to remove it??"

Octa tapped her feet. "If you need any tips on the chips, try to focus on certain colors. I find the purple chips especially helpful, as it will help you save your ink. Just speaking from personal experience. I know the chips will not help recover the memories, but they will aid you in your journey. This I know."

"Yes, I am afraid I have not seen Atarime, especially in a long while. I am sorry." She bowed once more. "If I do, I shall try to contact you. But it seems very unlikely that she....uh...'dimension-hopped', as Jesse would put it...so perhaps you shall have the better luck finding her in your own world."

[captainatarime]

"It would be very dangerous!" Mayra explained "I don't know how this device works since it was created by Tartar and it is too advanced, it is connected to her brain and all her memories, keeping them blocked in some way, if we tried to take it off without being careful, we could cause a permanent damage making her lose all her memories permanently and... becomes a soldier of Tartar... we need to find more information about that device before trying to take it from her..."

"Oooh... so the Chips, depending on the color, work in different ways? wow! that's amazing! they will be a great help during our adventure through Octo valley! maybe they won't help recover Eight's memories... but maybe they are the key to fixing the Castle and Octo Valley!"

"Oh... I see... We'll have to keep looking for her in our world then... if we find her, we'll let all of her friends know" Mayra said

Octavia just listened confused, since she didn't remember Atarime, she didn't know who she was or why they were looking for her... was she a friend of Mayra and Octa? Or maybe she was someone important in the city where Mayra came from?

[captainatarime]

To Octavia,

You don't have much time, meet me at the spiral of order, I'll try to get rid of that chip as much as I can but we'll have to ascend the tower for that to happen. See ya.

The Leader of TruBalance,

TruShape.

Mayra: "Octavia Look! I found a letter while I was exploring the place!"

Octavia: "T...TrueShape...? Who will it be...? M-maybe... they can help us...?"

Mayra: "I think they could help us, but first... we will have to go back up to the castle... and we will need to find more information about that device that you have, I suspect that we will be able to find clues as we explore Octo Valley, it will take a lot of time but... maybe, if we find information, we can seek their help in the future so we can remove the device from you before it's too late!"

[captainatarime]

Octavia: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH M-MAYRA! WHERE ARE WE!? WHY THERE'S A LOT OF L-LIGHTS!?"

Mayra: "TA-DA! Surprise! I brought you to the concert of the Splatfest! but I put in some extra lights to help you recover your memories! How do you feel now!? Do you remember anything now :D!?"

Octavia: "M-MY EYES ARE ON FIRE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[captainatarime]

(Birthday gift for @acustardduckling :3!!!)

[captainatarime]

(Oof :'3 I'm sorry that I haven't posted the next chapter of the story yet and that I still haven't answered some Asks and RPs, I was very busy last week ;w;)

(I still need to change some things in the next chapter but I'll try to work in the story and everything during this week heheh :'3!)

[grandpa-cephalopods]

"Figured you'd need it, HEHeheheh"

[captainatarime]

"That is... for me...?" Atarime exclaimed surprised "Th... Thank you...! it's been a while since i received a gift... the mug is very pretty"

[captainatarime]

"Octavia!! You're alright!! You...lost an arm!!" Octa gasped. "Oh gosh, what happened to you?!"

"U-um... h-hello?" Octavia got nervous "I-im... i'm sorry... but... Who is... Octavia...? And... W-who are you...?"

"Eight! What are you doing? I thought you left for a second!" Mayra returned to Octavia "Oh! You found someone! Hi! I don't think we know each other, I'm Mayra! sorry, Eight is very shy heheh... Wait, are you friends with Eight?"

[manysquidsandoctos]

"Oh, amnesia...I had amnesia a while back myself, it's not very fun...you have a harder time grasping a sense of self, yes."

"C-Castle? I see...very big place to scale. And castles hold many secrets. You are bound to find your true self in there, perhaps. I hope you do. Especially for the sadness. Even if you don't remember anything, your mind can still react to things and people subconsciously. I remember looking at a few memcakes and becoming very sad, and I did not understand why for so long...only when I remembered did I have closure. I hope you will find that same closure, Eight."

Octa knew it would be a matter of time before Octavia remembered herself, but she knew better than to try to force memories on her. It never ended well.

"Oh? Someone from the Splatoon is missing?! Another person...?" She sighed. "We have already lost Theo, and now those teenagers...very messy ordeal.

"Oh...Ata...rime? I am sad to say there is not an Atarime in our ranks. We do have a Craig Cuttlefish however...but he is a boy and very old. I do not think they are the same person." Octa tapped her chin. "Actually, I think I have heard of 'Atarime' before. The last time I met her, she wore a blue captain hat and a blue jacket, and had many accolades pinned to it. And yellow eyes that are shaped like stars." She was listing off characteristics that she remembered. "This is all I remember, I am afraid. I apologize." She bowed her head.

[captainatarime]

"I see... we tried with some Mem Cakes that i found in some floors of the Castle but... they don't seem to work with Eight... it's like her memories have been lost somehow... maybe that thing in her eye did something to her memories... I just hope it's not permanent..." Mayra explained

"I have the feeling that Eight's memories are somewhere in the castle of order, there must be some way to make her recover her memories, maybe the chips will help but I still don't know how they work very well, but for that... we would have to continue in the Castle"

"Oh... So you haven't seen her? Don't worry, it's okay, me and Eight will continue looking for her, maybe she is in Octo valley, since I don't think she has gone to another dimension... maybe..."

[captainatarime]

"WHERE AWE YOU GOIWG?!" An angry octopus spoke

"Out. I need fresh air. I'm going to go to Grizzco Industries in another dimension for a while. I'll be back later." Atarime said as she took one of her weapons and left through a portal

"ARE YOU LEAVING!? AT LEAST... BRING ME SOWETHING FROM THAT PLACE ONWE YOU AWE BACK!"

[captainatarime]

(Now that i posted the next part of Side Order story, here's a small explanation of what happened to Atarime when she arrived to the Castle of Order:

(Oh also, i forgot to post Atarime's drawing i made for the story, this is the versión without the text heheh)

(4 months ago, Atarime went on a trip to Octo valley, she only planned to stay 1 week to investigate, but something happened that made her end up in the order world of Octo valley, when she arrived at the Castle of Order, she decided to enter but this was a terrible mistake, once inside, Order realized the presence of an intruder and closed all the exits, this in order to trap Atarime, the interior of the castle became a huge labyrinth without exit from which Atarime never managed to escape)

(As the weeks passed, Atarime slowly began to lose her sanity, accepting that no one would come to help her, she started to left messages on the wall and in the elevator just in case someone after her arrived to that place and didn't know what to do, the weeks passed and after 2 months being there, her food and water supplies ran out, making her weaker every day, so one day, the Jelletons defeated her on the 20th floor, leaving her wounded and on the verge of death)

(Order took this opportunity to begin manipulating her mind, making her believe that her friends would never come to save her and that she no longer had anyone, all those she loved had only betrayed her, including all her friends, Xena, Pearl and reminding her that it was Tartar's fault that Octavia died, Order offered her the deal to work for him so together they could defeat Tartar and take complete control of the entire world)

(Full of hate and anger for all those betrayals, Atarime accepted Order's deal, with that, Order give her new powers, making her very powerful and ready to take back what she lost)

[captainatarime]

"Guess who...?" (1/2)

After facing numerous challenges on the castle floors, learning how to use the chips and how they worked, Mayra and Octavia managed to reach the last floor of the castle, the 10th floor.

It had been a long road, but they were finally there, even though for the moment, everything was fine, Mayra kept feeling a bad feeling about the 10th floor, was there a way to recover Eight's memories? maybe on the next floor they would have the answers

"Okay... Here we are Eight, the 10th floor, are you prepared for whatever is there?" Mayra said

Octavia nodded her head, she felt a little nervous, but she was determined to go in with Mayra, they were at the end, they couldn't give up now, and maybe... just maybe... she would find information about her past...

"Alright." Mayra said determined "then I will open the door"

[Entering... Control Room 1]

As soon as the doors opened, they both noticed that the room was full of black ink, at the back of the huge room, someone could be seen in the distance, looking at a huge window with constellations of stars, they didn't seem to realize that someone was there.

"Hey... I can see someone in the distance!" Mayra said "I still have a bad feeling... should we get closer? Maybe they can help us escape from here!"

While they were going down, Mayra began to notice something strange about that person, once Octavia arrived to the floor, she slowly began to approach the person. Mayra stopped for a moment and realized who she was

"Wait a minute...! Is that!?" Mayra said, she tried to stop Octavia from getting closer but it was too late, the person had already realized that the presence of Octavia and Mayra

"Octavia...? Is that you...?" the person turned around to see Octavia

"I-is it... really you? oh cod! you are alive! its been so long since the last time I saw you! come here!"

Octavia, very terrified, stepped back a little when she saw who was talking to her

"Octavia? what's wrong? Why are you staying away from me? Are you afraid of me or something? Is this how you're going to greet your dear girlfriend after so many years without seeing each other? Come on! It's me! Come and give me a hug!"

"ATARIME!?" Mayra said as she went to where Octavia was "Oh my god! What happened to you!? You're covered in black ink! We've been looking for you for weeks! Are you okay!?"

"Good? Of course I'm good! Better than ever!" Atarime said happily "Why do you ask?"

"What? Um... listen... you don't... um..." Mayra said a little scared "it doesn't matter! we're coming to rescue you! come with us and we'll find a way to escape from this place!"

"E... Escape...? Oh, no... of course not! I don't want to leave here! Why would I want to leave here? This is my home now! It's a wonderful place! When I finish fixing it up completely, everything will be perfect! just like it used to be before!" Atarime exclaimed "And you can stay here with me!!! we can all be happy here!!! hahahaha!!!"

"Staying here!? Atarime, are you crazy!? This place is very dangerous! We can't stay here and neither can you-!"

Atarime changed her happy expression to a very upset one, she quickly launched a sudden attack towards Mayra using black ink, this caused Mayra to crash into the floor and her screen to crack a little

"You know, I don't like being contradicted. I wasn't asking you if they wanted to stay. You. two. are. going. to. stay. here." Atarime said annoyed "Now, where was I? oh yes! Octavia! you haven't said anything since you arrived! you look so different since the last time I saw you! and so confused! is everything okay, darling? you know you can tell me tell everything, right?"

"U-um..." Octavia didn't know what to say, she was very scared and she was afraid that whatever she was going to say would make her angry and that she would attack her like she did with Mayra, Atarime was too powerful to try to attack her. Oh cod, what should I do? run away? attack?

"I-i'm... s-sorry... i... i don't... know who... y-you ar-"

Atarime interrupted her, slowly approaching Octavia "Octavia... you now who am I right? Its me! Atarime! your girlfriend! and you are Octavia Takowasa! Do you have amnesia agai-? Wait a minute... That device...! She... Tartar...! She did that to you right!? She made you forget about me!?" Atarime said angry

"Now. Now. That's not a problem that can't be solved. I'll just take it away from you and then you can get your memories back! And then we can be together forever!" Atarime said "Now! come here!"

"EIGHT NO! R-RUN...!" Mayra screamed trying to get up "DON'T TRUST HER...! RUN!"

"DIDNT YOU LISTENED TO ME!? SHUT UP!" Atarime screamed angry, she angrily launched another attack on Mayra, but this time, Octavia stood in the way, the attack was so strong that it made Octavia fall to the floor, the device she had in her right eye was damaged a little and her prosthesis arm also received a lot of damage

"E...EIGHT!" Mayra got up and flew towards Octavia "EIGHT! ARE YOU OKAY!? G-GET UP! WE HAVE TO GO!"

"OCTAVIA! IM TALKING TO YOU!" Atarime screamed "SO!? WHAT IT WILL BE!? CHOOSE. YOU CAN JOIN ME. OR. ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO ESCAPE FROM THIS PLACE!?"

Octavia was silent for a moment but she stood up again angrily and responded to Atarime.

"No. This... this is not right. you... you hurt my friend M... Mayra! I can't... I can't let you get away with this!" Octavia took the Octobrush from her ready to fight, Mayra also prepared to fight when she saw that they couldn't escape.

"..." Atarime looked at her, annoyed by her response "So... That's how it's going to be huh? You must be so confused... but I know that with time... you'll know that you're making a mistake, darling... I tried to be nice to you. but I see that you leave me no choice."

"SPARKLES! COME HERE!"

Behind Atarime, a huge hugefry came out of a huge puddle of black ink, it was Sparkles, who, like Atarime, had been corrupted by the black ink, now, she was much larger and more aggressive, as soon as she saw Octavia and Mayra, she got angry immediately

"Listen to me, Octavia. You didn't want to stay here and let me help you. Then we'll do it to the hard way. And once I defeat you... you will join me and finally... we will be happy together... like in the old days!" Atarime screamed "And no one... NO ONE! will separate us again!"

"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

[captainatarime]

"The Castle Of Order"

"Okay... Here we are"

Mayra and Octavia managed to reach Takowasa Castle, like all of Octo Valley, it looked very different, they did not know what was waiting for them inside that place but they were both willing to enter, perhaps they would find information there.

"Takowasa Castle... looks very different from how I remember it... we can't stay here and do nothing, we must go in and investigate what happened here." Mayra exclaimed

Octavia nodded, she was about to enter when Mayra stopped her

"Wait Eight, take this" Mayra made a replica of an Octobrush appear "I don't know how i had a weapon, but it would be very dangerous to go in there without any type of weapon, take it and let's go in"

Octavia took the Octobrush and entered the Castle with Mayra.

Octavia opened the large door that led to the central garden, everything was very changed, the central garden of the palace was different, it had no plants or flowers, nothing, the fountain in the middle of the garden had the same black ink could be seen in some buildings outside

"This is very weird... This is not what the central garden looked like, there used to be a beautiful garden here but now... there is nothing of color or life here... let's keep moving forward, the door to the throne room is right there!" Mayra exclaimed

Out of nowhere, from the black ink of the fountain, a strange creature appeared in the shape of a fish skeleton with red eyes. When it saw Octavia and Mayra, it immediately became aggressive, ready to attack them.

"W-WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Mayra screamed "Whatever that is, is coming at us! Attack it! You can do it!"

Octavia nodded her head and using her Octobrush, she splatted the creature, but that was only the beginning, since from the same source, more creatures similar to the previous one began to appear

"There's more coming! Watch out Eight!" Mayra screamed

The fight was hard since there were too many enemies, but fortunately, Octavia managed to defeat them all, Once they no longer appeared, the black ink from the fountain disappeared

"Okay... I-i think that was the last one..." Mayra said "What were those things and where did they come from? I've never seen anything like that before... apparently their power source was the black ink, so we better be careful, I think the main door is already open!

Upon entering the main throne room, they both realized that it was very changed, it was no longer the throne room, it was now a room with many machines, some of them were creating Mem Cakes, there was almost no light but in the background it could see that there was an entrance to an elevator

Octavia not only noticed that, in the walls, some had many stains of black ink, counting marks, messages that said: "Help me", "Get me out of here" but the the main message that was close to all the counting marks was: "Don't enter to the elevator."

"Those are... counting marks...?" Mayra said "Looking at all these counting marks, it seems like someone was trapped here for a long time without being able to get out... "Don't enter to the elevator?" but why...? we have no choice, we have to get into the elevator!"

"..." Octavia was not very sure about entering, she had a bad feeling, in all the time she was in Octo valley, she had never dared to enter the castle because of the fear she felt, but maybe... she would find answers from her past there...

"Eight! Are you coming?" Mayra said "I found the elevator! can you help-? EIGHT WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!"

Behind Octavia, a horde of black ink creatures began to chase Octavia, they were all going very fast, she tried to attack them, but there were too many of them and her weapon was not very powerful, so she had no choice but to run away

"QUICK! PRESS THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE ELEVATOR!" Mayra said scared

Octavia pressed a button, causing the elevator door to open, they both entered quickly, the creatures were about to enter but fortunately the door closed just in time.

"Cod... that... was very close..." Mayra said "Huh? Eight look! there's a letter here!"

Mayra took the letter and began to read it.

"To whoever finds this letter:

I don't know how I got here, or what this place is, I've spent the next few weeks trying to escape from those things I called "Jelletons" but there are too many of them, so I decided to hide in the Castle elevator, but it's only a matter of time until "That thing" finds me, I don't have much food and water supplies left, I don't know how to get out of here, I should never have come here... I can't stand this place anymore... I want to get out of here... but now all I have left is to continue climbing to the next floors of the Castle of Order...

I will leave this letter in the elevator in case someone after me reaches this place... if you want to go up to the next floors of the Castle, take the chip stuck on this sheet and insert it into a chip palette of some drone... If you want to get more chips, you must continue climbing more floors...

Good Luck..."

"Who wrote this letter...?" Mayra said "Palette? What is that?" Mayra out of nowhere, she pulled out a pallete of chips "Oh! this must be it! This is my chip palette! Eight! try placing the chip and see what happens!"

Octavia placed the first chip on Mayra's pallete, this made her weapon power up and it became stronger

"So... those chips are used to make our weapons stronger! that will be very helpful! the last floor of the castle is the 10th floor, but we can't enter... we have to go to the first floors first..." Mayra explained

"So... We'll have to climb the Castle of Order. Let's go to Floor 1!"

[captainatarime]

"Octavia!! You're alright!! You...lost an arm!!" Octa gasped. "Oh gosh, what happened to you?!"

"U-um... h-hello?" Octavia got nervous "I-im... i'm sorry... but... Who is... Octavia...? And... W-who are you...?"

"Eight! What are you doing? I thought you left for a second!" Mayra returned to Octavia "Oh! You found someone! Hi! I don't think we know each other, I'm Mayra! sorry, Eight is very shy heheh... Wait, are you friends with Eight?"

[manysquidsandoctos]

"Octavia...? Oh no, you didn't lose your memories again, did you...?" Octa mumbled.

"Friends with...Eight? I guess...though I'm also...Eight...." She told Mayra. "I'm Agent Eight of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Have we met before?"

[captainatarime]

"M-memories...? I... I don't have... any memories... I just know that... I appeared here b-but... I don't know how... this place is scary..." Octavia said "My name is... Eight... nice to meet... you..."

"Apparently Eight lost her memory somehow when she got here... I don't know how long she's been here but I think "Eight" isn't her real name, but she doesn't have any memory of what happened, maybe in the castle we can find something that will make her recover her memories of her past." Mayra explained

"Hey! Are you part of the Squidbeak Splatoon? That's cool!" Mayra said "Speaking of that, we are looking for someone that is also part of The Squidbeak Splatoon that disappeared 4 months ago, Her name is Atarime Cuttlefish, do you know her?"

[captainatarime]

"Octavia!! You're alright!! You...lost an arm!!" Octa gasped. "Oh gosh, what happened to you?!"

"U-um... h-hello?" Octavia got nervous "I-im... i'm sorry... but... Who is... Octavia...? And... W-who are you...?"

"Eight! What are you doing? I thought you left for a second!" Mayra returned to Octavia "Oh! You found someone! Hi! I don't think we know each other, I'm Mayra! sorry, Eight is very shy heheh... Wait, are you friends with Eight?"

[captainatarime]

"A Forgotten Place"

"Hello?"

"HEY! Is anybody here!? Hello!?"

In a cold place forgotten by everyone... a small drone was screaming for help, but no one seemed to hear it, the small drone had just appeared in this place without knowing how or why

The place had been abandoned for years, or at least... it was believed, everything was covered in snow and corals coming out of the buildings like a mysterious and dangerous black ink, what was once a beautiful place known as "Octo Valley" was now just an abandoned place, lifeless and colorless

"Come on! There must be someone here! Hello? HELLO? I NEED HELP PLEASE!"

The little drone decided to continue on its way looking for help, but no one came, the whole place seemed abandoned and without any trace of life, and then, it arrived at a mysterious place, a large castle

The Takowasa Castle, What once was a beautiful place, was now a colorless and forgotten and perhaps... abandoned palace? But how come it was here? Hadn't it been destroyed years ago?

"The... The castle! of course! maybe there's someone there! or so it seems... but... it could be dangerous... What's inside there? I'll need someone's help to get in-... huh?"

Turning around, the small drone managed to see something, in the distance, a woman dressed in a white hood, an Octoling, was coming out of a building, apparently she was looking for food

It was Octavia Takowasa, the princess of Octo Valley, she had been trapped in that place for 3 weeks, but, like the drone, she didn't know how she got there, and worst of all, all her memories were gone thanks to the device in her right eye, she didn't had more food supplies and she hadn't eaten anything for days

"OH! HEY! HEY YOU! OVER HERE!" The little drone wasted no time and went towards her "Oh thank cod! finally i found someone! sorry, hey do you know what's happening here? could you help me with something?"

"..." The Octoling didn't say anything, she just stared at the little drone, letting her speak

"Okay um, so let me explain, first of all, my name is Mayra, um... this sounds crazy but... I don't know how but I turned into a drone! I was an Octoling like you but I have no idea what happened!" Mayra continued "I have no idea what happen here, the reason why I'm here is that I was sent here to search for my friend, who disappeared 4 months ago"

Mayra projected an image of an Inkling, she was Atarime Cuttlefish and Sparkles "Do you know her? Her name is Atarime Cuttlefish"

"..."

"Um... I'll take your silence as a "No, I don't know her!" Mayra stopped projecting the image "Alright, I have a feeling that she might be inside the castle, but in this form i can't do almost anything... so could you please help me? I'll go with you and help you with whatever you need!

"..." The Octoling continued looking at the drone without saying anything

"U-uh... you don't talk too much do you...? Eh... I-I'll take your silence as a "Yes! let's go! I will help you!" Mayra said "Oh! right! you have not told me your name! what is your name?"

"..." The Octoling didn't say anything for a moment, but after a moment she spoke in a very weak voice

"E... Ei... ght..."

"Eight? That's your name? okay! nice to meet you Eight! now! let's go to the castle!" Mayra said

"I don't know why but... she seems... familiar..." Mayra thought

Octavia and Mayra headed towards the castle, what things would be waiting for them inside?
