"Ace is a boastful hotshot, but he's good at what he does, and him helping with Marina's project is helping him reconcile a bit with what happened to him before he came to Inkopolis. I guess bunking with him's helped a bit in getting over it, but he keeps fighting with Neo3 all the time for stuff both of them can't let go."
-Takko
"Why are you talking about me in the third person?"
-Brutus
"Because I know what you're actually doing with that phone."
-Takko.

Mirage and crew trekked along the sidewalk. It had taken them a little bit to get to Greater Inkopolis, but thankfully the the train company was more than cooperative to give them a ride on the express railway.
"It's so....quiet." Sandy mumbled, looking around. "Where are all the people?"
"If we're nearing the Square, most likely asleep for whatever reason." Mirage replied. "Seems Tara might've used some kind of gas, or something, but she made this entire area go unconscious."
"That's...so weird. I mean, I guess she is a human, and Professor Vulture tries to keep his human identity limited to a handful of us, but if her goal is to take us down, then why bother hiding it?" Plat scratched his chin.
"My guess is that that isn't the deal. She isn't hiding her identity. She might have another reason for pulling them out of it." Minu said, blazing through the cephalopods to get ahead of them. "...Not that I can say for certain. Events in this era are so...fuzzy, and weird, for some reason."
"Minu, can you explain why you're acting so weird?! What do you mean 'era'? What are you talking about?! You've been making these comment since the Big Run in Undertow!" Sandy huffed.
"I suppose the rest of you deserve to know." She sighed, turning around. "I already told Mirage a while ago, during the first Alterna trip but I'm not from this time. Put simply. I'm a time traveler- I'm a squid one generation after following this one."
"Wha-?! So you're like, essentially a grandchild standing next to us?!"
"Correct. In fact, I am Emmy's granddaughter- Turf War Legend as well as Agent E of the New Squidbeak Splatoon."
"WHA-?! EMMY'S GRANDKID?!?!" Sandy shouted, and Mirage shushed her. "Yeah, it was a surprise to me too, but it explains why this tyke knows so much about what's to come."
"Don't call me a tyke!!" She huffed. "Anyway, I studied up on my history of Splatsville and the like before traveling back in time, but this event has always been...weird. There's no good documents on it, and it seems some people didn't even remember this occurring. It's why I can't predict what will happen. So keep on your toes, in other words."
"So...you knew? About...Alterna? And me? And Tara and Mirage...the kissing?" Cruesa whispered.
"Oh, I know a WHOLE lot more than just the kissing, fish sticks. I could tell you ALL about you and Mirage if you want-"
"Ah-ah-ah, shut up. No more." Mirage grumbled, face red and walking faster.
As they approached the Square, they saw a figure standing there, but it wasn't Tara in front of them. Instead, it was an Octarian with pink tentacles tied in a ponytail and wearing a black cape, emblazed with a massive '3' on it.
"Hm?" She turned to the group. "Oh! Those uniforms! You must be..."
"Huh? Who are you?"
"I suppose we haven't met properly. I'm Octa, otherwise known as Agent 8 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon- I was just informed I'd be seeing you guys soon."
"Ah- YOU'RE Octa?! The legendary Agent 8?! That clone girl of Octavio's?!" Sandy exclaimed.
"Am I...so famous? Heehee." She smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of her head. "Yes, that is me."
"That's how the captain describes you to us." Mirage said.
"O-Oh...does he? Heehee, Jesse..." She swayed shyly a little before regaining her composure. "But yes. We are to be exploring the square together. Please follow me, I know a shortcut."
The group followed the Octoling, who walked with a confident stride along the sidewalk. Minu seemed to be especially interested in her, her eyes almost shimmering while watching Octa.
"So...Octa, how long have you been apart of the Splatoon?" Plat asked.
"Quite a bit. About six years ago now, I had fallen down into a metro located deep under the sea, and I was forced to undergo several tests like a lab rat to escape. I was also suffering from amnesia. To try and sum up the tale, I was almost blended up into a smoothie with Captain Cuttlefish when Jesse heroically rescued me, and then we stopped an evil AI from using its giant human statue from destroying the world!"
The group blinked. Minu seemed to be entranced however.
"W-Well...Mr. Cuttlefish never told us about THAT story..." Sandy shuddered.
"Anyway, I've had a lot of free time after the fact, so I've been working hard at the Splatoon in Inkopolis, until Pearl and Marina invited me to join their world tour a little bit ago, and- oh, we're close."
Even though the area so far had been incredibly quiet, it seemed...to be eerily silent near the Square. And they saw the unconscious cephalopods. They were sitting, standing, crouching, but they were all in the same state: unconscious, unaware, unfeeling. Like they were there, but their souls weren't.
"How unnerving..."
"Are they...alive?" Sandy examined an inkling more closely.
"They're breathing! They just..." Cruesa waved a hand in front of her face. "It's like they're not even there."
They finally walked into the main Square. It felt the most quiet there, No movement. No birds, no talking, no hustle or bustle. It was...completely dead.
"What..."
"OMC! Theo!!" Octa gasped, rushing ahead to the motionless Agent 4 lying on the ground. Kneeling down, she shook his shoulder. "Theo?! Please wake up! You must!!"
"That's Agent 4? He looks...pretty unassuming." Mirage scrunched their face.
"Oh, do not be fooled! He is one of the most capable people I know! Very strong! He was able to slam a Rainmaker into King Octavio's face so hard that he had a massive bruise for weeks on end!"
"That's, uh...an accomplishment, alright."
"He is alive, but unconscious as well. How very strange." She stood up, crossing her arms. "Hmm...I wonder..."
Suddenly, they heard a large clank from somewhere else, and then a constant whirring. And without warning, a blue energy began to emit all around them.
"What's going...on?! Why...am I becoming sleepy...?" Sandy yawned, falling to her knees.
"S-Sandy-! Are you alright?!" Plat kneeled beside her. His eyelids began to droop. "Oh...I'm...quite exhausted all of sudden, myself..."
"It's...!" Minu pointed up at a machine on top of Deca Tower. "She must've....known we were going to be here....! She set a trap! An automatic....device....."
"Oooh...." Cruesa rubbed her eyes. "What's happening to me...?"
"Ess...!" Mirage reached for her, but she had collapsed to the ground, going unconscious. They fell to the ground themself.
"Oh...no..." Octa whined, before she herself finally succumbed to the slumber alongside all of them.

I want to know more about your 4
My Four is named Tater Tot! She/He! Thank you for leaving an ask showing interest, as I will now spout paragraphs at you!!!
She's a less-than-average student despite her dedication to academics, and isn't very good at socializing due to being "too loud" and "too annoying" for other inkfish to interact with her. Tater was also orphaned at a very young age, and has no idea who her parents are, but was raised alongside kids or adults who didn't like her presence for the above reasons. For all intensive purposes, she was a "problem child".
This eventually led to her suppressing herself, becoming quiet and still an average kid despite being so devoted to school. It was basically her life, and she wasn't even good at that.
When taken into the Squidbeak Splatoon by Marie, she'd heard all about Agent 3 from the Squid Sister and wished to be like them. Marie's praise was some of the first she's ever had that meant something to her, and it caused her to days a renewal in her passion. Even if she failed socially and academically, Tater was given a chance to do something good with her life by being an agent. And when the role of hero ended and Callie was saved? She received very little praise. No public recognition. So, she took the title of Hero and made that her entire personality. She'll be a hero to the people in one way or another!!
Tater, at one point or another, had a relationship with Junk, Agent 3. This lasted until after the events of Octo Expansion, where Junk had forgotten most things about their life- and thusly forgot about Tater. Agent 4 still tries to remind Agent 3 about their past together, and though Junk humors this sometimes, nothing good ever comes from it. Tater is heartbroken, but knows that a heroes must have happy endings. She's seen so in the books and shows she's indulged in!
She also has an unknowing rivalry with Agent 8, Guille. Guille dresses up as a mysterious, villainous figure named "Zoro" for reasons pertaining to their own story- but long story short, it's a "hero vs. villain rivalry" tale between the two that Tater made for her ego.

silly U/nder/tale soul headcanons for my muses because why not
Lucas
Type: Human Color: Red (Determination) Why: Because i treat him like a main character Determination overall seems to be the most “open-ended” of all the Soul colors, as well as just fitting how much absolute shit he’s had to go through during his journey in-game.
Hornet
Type: Boss monster Color: White, tainted purple (Perseverance) Why: Because of Muffet lol She’s inhuman on both halves, only being humanoid because of the Pale King’s “rebirth”, and practically her entire life during and before the game (as well as S/ilksong) demonstrates her ability to persevere against whatever life decides to throw her way.
Pu
Type: Human Color: Cyan (Patience) Why: Meditation and training takes nothing but patience, though it’d likely be an oddly pale cyan to represent his “emptiness” without outright being a monster soul.
Callie
Type: Human Color: Yellow (Justice) Why: Not only is she surrounded by a lot of lights (a lot of Inkopolis/general aesthetic is neon colors), but she’s literally surrounded by a lot of energy! Being an Agent of the Squidbeak Splatoon, Callie is also very “justice” oriented and fights for what she believes is right.
The Knight
Type: Boss Monster Color: Red (Determinaton) Why: Hallownest and the world outside are a tough and miserable place. Self-explanatory.
Kirby
Type: Human Color: Green (Kindness) Why: Human because he’s powerful enough, and green for the absolute lack of malace in 99% of the things he does
