The sun was setting over the city of Inkopolis as a trio of inklings walked down the street. "WOO HOO!" A male inkling with green tentacles and blue eyes called out. "We made it to S rank!"

"About time! We've been stuck at A+ for the past, who knows how long!" Another male -this one with pink tentacles and green eyes- said as the two high fived each other.

"Next up is S+ and then, we'll have an interview with the Squid Sisters!" A female inkling with yellow tentacles and yellow eyes said, with excitement in her voice. But although she sounded excited, she wasn't. She got to see the Squid Sisters on a daily basis.

The male with green tentacles looked up at the setting sun before asking. "Hey yellow, do you know the time."

The female with yellow tentacles punched him on the arm. "That's not my name, splathole."

The male let out a laugh. "I'm only teasing you."

The female looks down at her watch. "It's... seven o'clock."

"Okay, thanks Akari- I mean, yellow." Both males let out a laugh.

The female let out a sigh. "See you both tomorrow."

"See ya, yellow." The male with green tentacles said before bolting away, expecting a harder hit from the yellow tentacled inkling.

"Bye, Akari." The other male said.

"See you later, Daichi." Akari said before the two went their separate ways.

Akari stopped at a building that had a sign that read: Flounder Heights. Akari walked into the building as a female inkling with orange tentacles was sleeping on her desk.

Akari pressed the bell and the woman jumped up. "What d- Oh, it's just you! Akari, how many times do I have to tell you, DON'T DO THAT!"

"How many times do I have to tell you, stop sleeping on the job?" Akari asked. The woman didn't seem happy. "I just came to-"

"Just get to your room." The woman cut her off.

Akari, not wanting to have an arguement with the woman, turns and walks to the elevator. She pressed the button labeled 5 and watched the doors close.

Once she was sure Akari was gone, the woman put her head back down on her desk and fell asleep again.

When the elevator reached the fifth floor, Akari stepped out, walked to room 514 and opened the door. She threw her Splattershot next to her Hero Shot and flopped on her bed. Her head then turned to her phone. "Oh yeah... I forgot to take this with me." She said to herself. She picked it up and saw that someone had called her. She read the number and asked herself. "The agents? Why would they call me? Did Octavio grab Cuttlefish while he was eating crabby cakes again?"

She unlocked her phone and called them back.

With the agents and Cuttlefish...

Agent One's phone rang. When she picked it up, she said. "Hello?"

"It's me, Agent Three." Akari replied.

"Why didn't you answer me when I called earlier?" Agent one asked.

"I was with my tri-squad. We were playing some ranked battle. Made it up to S rank." Akari explained.

"Great, that's nice to hear. Listen, after what you done to save Inkopolis, and our grandfather, we-"

"Twice!" Agent Two cut in.

"Twice, we shouldn't ask anymore of you..." Agent One sighed. "But we're asking you to go on another mission."

Akari looked down at her hero gear. "What's the mission?"

Cuttlefish could be heard. "Squiddo! Pass me the phone!"

"Okay, so Cuttlefish wants to tell you..." She then passed him the phone.

"You there, squiddo?" Cap'n Cuttlefish asked.

"Yes I am, Cap'n Cuttlefish." Akari replied.

Cuttlefish took a deep breath. "We were just informed that the last time DJ Octavio escaped, he made a little speach."

Akari was worried yet puzzled. "What kind of speach?"

Cuttlefish hesitated. "He said that there is going to be a new king of Octo Valley."

"Who's that?" Akari asked, even more puzzled then before.

"His grandson, his name is Oct." Cuttlefish explained. "Since he's becoming king, there's going to be a ceremony where the wealthiest octarians can speak to him in person. Since this is a new leader, we want you to go in there and speak with him. We want you to get on his good side and hopefully, you'll be able to tell us his plans. Because he might be planning to start a war... You understand, youngster?"

Akari nodded. "Yes I do, when is the ceremony?"

Cuttlefish paused for a moment, trying to remember what he heard while he was tied up. "Uh... Tomorrow I think."

Akari nodded again. "But how am I gonna get in there? I'm an inkling, I'd be splatted on sight."

"Well, we got the perfect disguise." He looks back at the fake octoling tentacles and octoling gear.

"Alright then, I'll be there at seven thirty."

"Okay, perfect. Inkopolis thanks you for your hard work."

"I'd do anything for Inkopolis."

"You're a good kid, squiddo... You're a good kid." He hangs up the phone.

Akari threw her phone onto her nightstand and stood up. "A new king? This can't go good. Guess I should freshen up considering I'm supposed to be rich. A quick shower... Okay, a long shower... And well, pretty much everything else I can do."

She then walked into the bathroom, attached a device to the shower head that had Akari's name written on it, turned on the shower and ink-infused water came out of the shower head.

After she had her shower, she hopped on the internet and searched up What do rich people do?

Akari started to read off the page. She sighed. "This is all about inklings, nothing here about octarians. Should've known. I'll just ask Cuttlefish when I get to him tomorrow." She then closed her laptop, lid down in her bed and pulled the covers over herself. "I hope tomorrow goes good... But... What will Daichi and Taichi think? I mean, I can't tell them that I'm agent three, but what will they think when I tell them I'll be gone for who knows how long... Heh. Maybe It'll be as long as when we were stuck on A+."

She then looked over at the clock: 9:30 PM. "Wow, it's this late already? I need to get some sleep. Seven in the morning comes early." She then put her head on her pillow and fell asleep.
