All the Octarians who escaped Octo Valley are seen inside the walls and borders of their newly founded neighborhood. An Octohurler talks to the crowd. "DJ Octavio's loyal Octarians are causing trouble for us again, this is certainly going to interfere with our reunification process. This couldn't happen at a worse time, we were just about to have good relations with Inkopolis as well. Now that has been postponed unless we form an alliance with them to take down Octavio's loyalists. Now, I'm going to pick two volunteers to find the base of our enemy and put an end to their tormenting attacks once and for all! The rest of you will be tasked to protect the neighborhood from any and all attackers, but if you want to volunteer as well, you will have to accompany the ones who I have picked and stay with them until this war ends!"
This is when an Octotrooper and an Octoling stepped up to take the quest to end the attack, turning to the crowd, the Octotrooper spoke first, "I decided to take up this responsibility because I, Clam, am very tired of the annoying DJ and his minions targeting us all the time." then the Octoling decided to speak "My name is Coral and I care a lot about our species and the new era of peace that will come as a result of the reunification between the Ringed Octarians and the Crimson Octarians, so it is my duty to stop those who will interfere with our reunification!"
Then, the Octohurler spoke to the two, "As General Anemone, I shall send you two outside the borders, make sure you two give an update on the situation at hand, it would also be nice if you get some supplies for us when we need it, but we aren't hurting for them yet."
After the whole speech, Clam meets with Kelp's sister who is a female Octobomber as a goodbye all the while Coral meets up with his girlfriend, a female Octoling who is called Kelp. "Please return safe and sound, I will be very worried about you." Kelp said in a worried tone, Coral then replied "Don't you worry, even though the odds might be stacked against Clam and me, we will make sure that both of us return here alive." After that, Coral and Clam went to the door that leads to the outside of the neighborhood. "You ready for this mission, bro? We won't be able to come back here for a while." Clam said, to which Coral replied "I am ready to do this, even though I will possibly get homesick again. It is the sacrifice that I need to make in order to stop the attacks permanently."
After the doors have opened, the brothers stepped through them, starting their quest to defeat DJ Octavio and his loyalists. The doors behind them closed, signaling that this is a point of no return.
