The Adventures of Agent 9 (Book 1)

Line I, E, and The Second Thang

Late during the night, when the subway was silent and no one was there, Kai woke up in a cold sweat. His heart was racing. His nightmare was filled with Octo Washers and sanitized friends of his. He shook his head, stood up, and dragged his feet towards the next car.

"Now that I'm up, I might as well do a few more levels." He opened up his map and chose a level- one where you couldn't step in enemy ink.

He chose his weapon- the splat roller- and used it to cover the ground once he got in. Kai spotted two Octarians, snuck before them, and splatted them with his weapon.

Kai saw three boxes in front of him he broke one to reveal two more Octarians! He used his Curling bombs to splat the Octarians, making them vanish before his eyes. Kai then proceeded with the level.

Kai completed the level with ease.

Kai left back to the subway train, pulled up the map, and left to "No Whammy Station". Kai clicked on it and paid his fee, I guess I don't need a weapon while defending the orb! He sprinted to the launch pad as the timer started to tick down. He secured his position in the canon, and watched as Octo Missiles shot themselves into the middle of the stage.

"Yo-Kai! For this test, you can't let the Octo Missiles hit the orb in the middle!" Pearl said.

"Alright! Got it!"

Kai continued to displace them as the time ticked second after second. Many of the Missiles kept leaving towards the orb, but Kai splatted them all one after another. The time continued to tick down and there were only a few seconds left. A few of the Octo Missiles did hit the orb, so he kept going. Once the timer was at zero, he completed the level and left towards the subway car.

Kai then went back to his car and pulled up the map. He saw the second Thang positioned at Burst and Run station. Kai chose his weapon and popped the Thang out of its barrier.

Kai walked slowly towards the second Thang. He grabbed it and then he took a picture with it, then he made his way to the main station to be greeted with the weird telephone.

"Congratulations, Agent 9! You got the second Thang! You one step closer to making it to the [Slang_Not_Found] Promised land!"

"Oh, nice! We're halfway there! Finally!" Kai let out a yawn as he started to make his way into the subway. "Well, I think it's time to go back to sleep..."

Kai stumbled through the train, ignoring his throbbing feet. He laid down on the seats of the subway, and let slumber overtake him.
