The Submerged Factory

Introduction

"You want me to meet up with other people?" Blocky gave an unpleasant sigh. "Meeting with the two is already bad enough, I can't imagine how the rest will act like a jerk to me!"

"He is the jerk one." Mr. Dance whispered loudly. He crossed his hand, probably his hatred towards Blocky's attitude.

"Dance?" Squid turned to Mr. Dance in shock after he heard that. That line alone caught him off guard.

Mama Squid lifted up her front tentacles. "Come on, I know you're scared, but let's take this one step on the time." She held Blocky's cracks.

"Squid can fix this. I understand that you won't be able to trust Squid, but you can trust me." Mama Squid smiled, trying to reassure Blocky. All this time, Blocky had her back, now it was her turn to return the favor.

Blocky thought twice before he rolled his eyes in annoyance. He never wanted to do this. If it wasn't because he couldn't fix his own cracks for some reason, he wouldn't meet up with Squid. He flew towards Squid.

Squid took out his claw from Dronelly and started his work. Blocky flew back and groaned in pain.

"Can you do it slower? It hurts!" Blocky complained. He hated Squid's server for being able to cause him unnecessary pain.

Squid shook his head. "Then, next time, don't smash your head into the wall! Now, stay still!" He said as he had no idea why Blocky's face cracks in the first place. Even if he was told, he wouldn't believe Blocky at all.

Blocky gasped in anger. He squinted at Mr. Dance who stood behind Squid. Mr. Dance just shrugged his shoulder and grinned. The guy behind everything didn't seem to bat an eye.

A few torturous minutes later, Blocky's cracks finally got fix. He gave a relief sigh and took a moment to adjust himself. His mind was a bit dizzy after the fix.

"Next meeting, Mama Squid and I will introduce you to the rest of the members. Luckily for you, the next meeting is like two days later." Squid said as he gave Blocky an invitation. A floating letter, since Blocky didn't have an arm to hold them.

Blocky kept looking at the invitation and Squid's face over and over again. He felt strange that Squid was being nice to him after the whole imprisonment... stuff.

Are they going to pretend none of that ever happened? He still had questions about Mama Squid.

"Is there a problem?" Squid raised his right eyebrows. Based on Blocky's constant smiling face, he could feel Blocky had something in mind.

Blocky shook his head awkwardly. This whole conversation had been strange for him. Especially when it came to talking to the guy that caused him to suffer. "No. I don't think so."

Mama Squid gently punched Blocky. "I'm proud of you."

Blocky was flattered by Mama Squid's words. However, his attention was locked at Mr. Dance, who was giving him a crooked smile like a weirdo. He felt a bit uncomfortable.

Mr. Dance walked away with Squid. Now it was just the two of them at the drones room.

Two days later...

Squid and Mr. Dance spoke to each other, whispered about something. Squid was serious while Mr. Dance just kept on giggling. Who knows what they were talking about.
