While you were running down the hallway to find the nearest closet to hide in, you noticed something very strange. The house was empty! But you also found... purple ink? You were confused. It didn't look as if anything-

Oh wait. The place was t r a s h e d! What had happened?! You saw vases smashed, chairs flipped over, and tables turned! Who did this?

You suddenly realized somebody coming up behind you. You turned, to see Emperor and N-Pacer.

"What happened...?" N-Pacer asked, breathlessly. You shrugged. After all, you had just gotten here, spectating the damage.

"Who did this?" Emperor demanded, once he had found his voice. He looked at you for an answer, which you had none.

"I don't actually know Emperor, I just got here. But there IS purple ink, so... I'm not actually sure if it's anyone from my team or your team."

"She's right, it seems to be something else..." N-Pacer realized, studying the ink.

"How are we going to find out who it was?" you asked in confusion. You weren't all that bright when it came to things like mysteries. You were a great battler in games, but certainly not the biggest detective on the block- unlike your cousin who was off in the square doing something else. Which was confusing since you hadn't heard from her in months. (*cough cough* Reference to my Gone with the wind book!)

You had a million thoughts flowing in your head. Messages.. Then you smacked your forehead. DUH! You received a note through the wind from your cousin, read it, then passed it to Aloha, who apparently had been her childhood friend! Even though you weren't ALL that close to your cousin, you'd have done ANYTHING to rescue her.

"Wait... this has to be the work of the octarians!" N-Pacer snapped you out of your thoughts. She was studying the ink.

"It's not quite like inkling's ink, it's a little different if you look at it. Not by much, but by a bit. Their ink hardly changes color so it's not hard to recognize."

"Hmm... I see. Where are they now?" Emperor asked. "They must pay for the damage they caused in this room of the house."

"House? It's a mansion!! But seriously, have any of you guys realized that no one is here right now? They couldn't have all disappeared or left like that! My team would surely have told me, and I do believe they would have told you Emperor, if they were going to leave so suddenly like that," you pointed out.

N-Pacer suddenly dodged to the side. Where she was standing, a purple splotch of ink was right there. "Where did that come from?" you asked, shocked.

"I-I don't know, but I think we're being attacked. Just watch where you step for now. We're not safe here..." N-Pacer answered wearily. "I barely made it..."

"Well your alive, and this place is probably being watched. Do they know something we don't?" Emperor asked. You shrunk back a little.

Truth was, you knew your cousin was missing, and contacted a few... 'friends' to help rescue her. You weren't sure how you were going to get in contact with them now, since Emperor was going to be there, 24/7.

"Y/n? Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost!" N-Pacer exclaimed.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about where our team members are, and I don't want to picture it. Anything could happen!" you said, averting your eyes.

"Hm, okay then Y/n. We've got to leave," Emperor declared.

"Why?"

"We're not safe here. N-Pacer made that rather clear..." Emperor responded.

You internally slapped yourself for being such a dimwit sometimes. 

"Where will we go then?" you inquired. In all honesty, you wanted to know. You knew this was the octarians work now, but why would they come for you?

"I'm not sure... I'm sure we could probably find somewhere to stay. I'll just ask a couple friends I suppose," Emperor decided.

"Like who?" N-Pacer asked.

"I'm not sure... maybe Gloves since his team is okay," Emperor said.

"What about team blue?" you suggested.

"I'd... rather not. I can't be in a house with them while we're being watched. It'd be to dangerous, and they'd most likely be killed within the first minute."

"Oh, I see. So your saying Gloves would be more prepared?"

"No, I'm saying that if we told him ahead of time, he'd be ready for it."

"Tomato, TomAto, same thing," you scoffed.

"Enough arguing, pack as light as you can. We can leave some things here in the giant vault downstairs," N-Pacer said.

"Alright, meet here in 30 minutes," Emperor whispered as he headed upstairs to his room.

You quickly checked all the rooms, but with no luck, there was nobody there. In Eging's room, you found a note. Written in an unfamiliar language. Octarian language? Who knows, I can't read it. --_--

"Guys!" you didn't watch where you stepped and managed to duck in time as ink splattered on the wall behind you. Where is this coming from??

"What is it?" N-Pacer asked carrying two bags.

"I found a note in a foreign language of some sort!" you exclaimed, waving the note around. Surprisingly, nobody shot ink at you and N-Pacer. It was almost like they wanted you to find it.

Emperor came out with the largest, but single bag possible. "Foreign language? Maybe it's octarian? Do you know anyone who can decipher this?"

"I mean yeah... but there kind of hostage to some people right now..." you muttered.

"What was that Y/n? Speak up please."

"Y. E. S. I do, except there not here right now," you said staring at a wall.

"Who is it?"

"My cousin..."

"Ah, I see. Where can we find your cousin?"

"Well, she's sort of uh... being held hostage?" you said 'hostage' as if it was just a cool word. Just ya'know, nothing to worry about. *cough cough*

"Alright, I see. Let's just go over to Gloves house and let him know," N-Pacer said.

"I already sent him a message, he says its fine as long as nobody dies on the first day," Emperor replied without missing a beat.

You looked around at the house, which was now almost completely a mess. You were going to come back here to clean this once it wasn't being guarded by something- or rather someone.
