It's a new day in the city of Inkopolis. Sun was up and a fresh breeze could be felt throughout the area. People all around gathered into the one area that seemed full of life. Each shop was beginning to open up. Inklings of all shapes, sizes and color all got along well. And everyone couldn't wait to begin playing Turf Wars. The main attraction to be held within the city of Inkopolis. And atop the tallest building in Inkopolis rests the Great Zapfish. The great creature that powers it all. This city is known as many things. But a name that can all be agreed on is that it is known as "The City where Anything can happen"

But unknown to all but a select few reside those that protect the great city of Inkopolis. Few occasions that the city was in peril, those few did everything they could to ensure the survival and safety of the city. The city has faced a few minor events that would cause panic. But no one would have expected that the city was just saved from what would have been a worldwide extinction. Unknown by the residents and the world. Only those that risk their lives to protect the city and the world have knowledge of such events. Those people on their own are known as Agents. But together they are called the "Squidbeak Splatoon". No one knows who these mysterious agents are. And no one has ever bothered figuring it out. Some don't even believe that the agents exist. But despite all that they have protected Inkopolis from peril, and they will continue to do so

Somewhere not so far from the city resides one of these "Agents". An Agent who saved Inkopolis on a previous occasion. A Hero that no one knew existed. He managed to save the city along with his other 2 Agent comrades. If not for his actions the great city that they reside in would not have been where it was now. Multiple times when the city was at risk they were there to protect it. To think that someone like that was living in Inkopolis. Hiding in plain sight.

And as of now this Agent rests in what they call home after finishing a recent mission that took a lot longer than expected. And there he laid on his bed. His mind wandering off into a dream. A dream that felt real. A feeling of freedom. Where there was nothing to hold you down to the rules of reality. A dream surely to make anyone at ease. A dream that he wished would never end

Only to be interrupted

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

Regaining consciousness he angrily groans at the fact he was rudely woken up. He then tries to feel where his alarm is. After feeling where it was he presses the snooze button. But the beeping still continued. He pressed it again and it was the same result. He then forcibly pressed it. Noise was still being made. At that point he was getting angry. So he then starts to forcibly slam his fist on the snooze button a few times. It then stopped beeping after a few hits

Agent: "cheap ass alarm clock"

He then tried to go back to sleep. But he felt irritated for some reason. He wanted to continue sleeping but he already woke up to turn off his alarm. And it was only a matter of time until his whole body started to catch on. He knew it and already he hated it.

Agent: "come on. Fall back asleep please"

Still feeling tired he tries telling himself to go back to sleep. Hoping it would work. But it was no use. His body was already starting to wake up. He felt irritated. He was not much of a morning person

Agent: ~groan~"....what time is it even ?"

He lifts his head up and looks to his side. He then sees his alarm clock. It said 8:30 AM. Seeing the time he then disappointedly drops his head on his pillow
