'Breaking News!'


That's what it read on the screens at Inkopolis Plaza and Inkopolis Square. The message changed to the Off The Hook's studio where everyone can see both Off The Hook and the Squid Sisters.


"Hi everyone. Today's show is... different," said Marina.

"There has been some events that happened recently just outside Inkopolis," said Pearl.

"The famous weapon company, 'Exalted Flame', is destroyed for lack of better terms," said Marie.

"But we're glad that the building, and the owner itself, disappeared," said Callie.

"Although it sounds cruel to those who don't know the content of it, so here's the reason 'why' we're glad that it's gone," said Marina.


The screen changed into an aerial panoramic view of the destroyed Exalted Flame. Most of the walls has collapsed on itself, and the rest of the building has fallen down into the canyon that was below it. During the panoramic view, subtitles of a recording from the company owner, Kaylum Lilac, and of the Midnight Ghost.


Ghost: I'm here to rescue those who have suffered from you 'ideas'. Why the fuck do you want an army of soldiers anyway!?

Kaylum: Isn't that ovious? I want to rule the world, but I wanted to start small on an insignificant city, called Inkopolis.

Ghost: What would you even gain from this? I asked.

Kaylum: All I care is about power. And I will do anything to get my hands on it. And nobody is going to be in my way to stop it. Guards, take care of him.


Multiple gunshots and grunts of pain can be heard, shortly after that, text started appearing again.


Ghost: That was quite a disappointed fight. But then again, this facility never recorded my fullest potential.

Kaylum: You think that you will escape from this place, but you won't. You're going to be hunted down for attacking and destroying property of the company.

Ghost: That may be true, but you're going to have a lot more problems than I will. Isn't that right, Agent 6?

Agent 6(?): Indeed, Agent 7. We got everything recorded,


This last voice was heavily distorted with a voice modifier.


Ghost: So you, dear Kaylum. You. Are. Fucked.


After that last sentence, more gunshots could be heard. Later at the recording, the sound of missiles and other special attacks could be heard, until they heard the dreaded Ink Strike, and the recording stops. The screen cuts back to the Off The Hook's studio with the four stars.


"These were the recordings that was left at the doorstep of our studio," said Pearl.

"And we think that it's save to assume that Exalted Flame is no more," said Marina.

"But... we also believe that we've lost someone important at Exalted Flame," said Callie, her tone starting to get sadder.

"We believe that not only Kaylum died during the fall of his company, but our city's legend as well. The Midnight Ghost," said Marie.
