"This place is so cool! Don't you think so 8?" Goggles asked me. Oh. I never mentioned that the phone had called me applicant 10,008, so the old man decided to call me Agent 8. No idea why he said the Agent part, but it reminded me of something from my past. I just couldn't remember what. I only nodded at Goggles after he asked the question. The old man decided to rest for a bit while Goggles and I sat next to each other. I was just so confused.

"Thank you for choosing Deep Sea Metro. I am your conductor, C.Q. Cumber." I looked over and saw a talking...what was that? (A/N: No more lines from C.Q. for now. I'm done with those.)

Time skip

C.Q. said that in order to reach the promised land, which the old man and Goggles assumed was the surface, we needed to pass each test and collect the four thangs. What they were, I didn't know. The contraption thing gave both of us Splattershots and a set of bombs. The place looked like a forest. There was another Octoling that was there with us, but it looked different than the other Octolings that I could sort of remember.

I was scared for my life as the Octoling attacked me and Goggles. I ended up splatting the Octoling and the next area opened up. I did this a few more times before reaching the end.

...

Goggles and I continued on until we found the first thang. He smiled and I did too. Then he went on rambling nonsense with the old man and just being an idiot in general.

While they were talking my vision faded and showed me something other than the metro.

"Hold still will you?!" I heard someone shout. I was moving around violently and then was pinned to a cold surface. There was a bunch of stuff I could see that was on the table nearby. I screamed as the person who spoke tazed me and tourtured me for what seemed like hours.

"That'll teach you for speaking out of line huh?" I didn't answer. After that I swore I'd never speak again.

I snapped back into reality and gestured for Goggles to follow me back to the train due to me wanting to get to the surface. He followed and we boarded the train together.

Who was that person in my vision? And why did I have that vision in the first place?
