Chrissy waited for the trucks to leave, before running back towards their dome. She didn't waste any time, she jumped into the dome. Regardless of the pain she endured in her legs, she looked around. Gas was still floating around, probably from the grenades. They were no traces of any bodies. They must've taken them! Or worst... She assumed. She rushed to the kitchen, hoping to find them anywhere. The table was flipped, chairs were broken and glass was scattered on the floor. The one thing still standing: The flower pot of her purple flower. Chrissy found it odd but saw it as life leaving her one last memory of her parents. She took it and replaced it in her tentacles. It protected itself, it will protect me she assumed. She gave a quick glaze over her second home, before having to abandon it like the first one. She emptied her bag of unnecessary things, like the now useless ingredients she and Eric had stolen to bake pizza. Sadly, she did not notice Eric's computer went missing as she rushed out into the clearing, not really knowing what she was looking for or even hoping for...

10 years earlier...
"No, I don't like that!!" Stated a defiant Chrissy, pushing the plate away from her body.
"But you gotta eat Chrissy!!" Proclaimed Spyke, replacing the plate close to her, tired of her not wanting any vegetables. Chrissy, even after his intervention, pushed the plate of mashed potatoes away again.
"I want berries!!!" She exclaimed
"Only when you finish your main plate little imp!!!" Spyke replied, playfully acting angry at her
It's been a year since Chrissy lived inside the dome. Spyke visited her around once a month.
Chrissy looked at him, angry.
"Am not a little demon pap-..." Chrissy realized her mistake and ended her sentence.
"Spyke!" She said, to correct herself
He stood up.
"I gotta go..." He said, looking at her
"Oh...okay!!" She calmly but strongly said as she ate her mashed potatoes quickly to then hug him
"Where do you live Spyke? You never told me and iv never seen you in the dome!" Chrissy asked, curious
"It's a town near here...Inkopolis..." Answered Spyke, calmly.
"Can I come?" She cutely asked
"Sadly no... you're better protected by the octolings here than living hidden there..." He said with a sad tone
"Oh...Okay! But keep visiting me Spyke" She happily stated, not knowing it was the last time she would see the urchin
----------------------------------------------
10 years ago, Spyke told Chrissy that he was living inside Inkopolis, she knew what she needed to do now: Seak into inkopolis and find her long-lost friend
