Marina threw her goggles onto the ground, breaking them into pieces of wire and chips. she sat down on the ground, crying her eyes out. she didn't want any of this to happen. she missed her old life. before this whole war happened. she missed her friends, she missed her family....she missed her mother.

the young elite octoling always dreamed about visiting Inkopolis for the first time. she wanted to know what it was like. but she never even got that one chance. not once. not ever. DJ Octavio said so. but what if she could. she was free from Octavio's clutches, so she could do whatever she wanted now. she had her chance. after so long. she was finally going to do it. and though she was scared, she always wanted to do this in her whole life.

she rushed home and started packing her bags, ready to face a new life. she took off the octoling gear and put on a simple T-Shirt, a pair of Jean Shorts, and tied her sneakers. then, when she was done packing, she was finally ready to go. she took her sweater and put it on, putting up her hoodie. then, she looked back at her room, looking at something on her dresser. a present. a present wrapped in beautiful teal and silver wrapping paper. she went to it and read the tag.


"To My beloved daughter, Marina.

   I'm very sorry i couldn't make it to your birthday party, like all those other dang times. but until then, here's my present . i bet you'll be delighted into what it'll be!

         Happy 12th Birthday, Marina. love, Dad."

a tear ran down her eye as she took the present and packed it in her bag. then, she took her bag, looked back at her once home, and headed to the entrance to Inkopolis Plaza.

"this changes everything" she smiled.

she was ready.
