With Octavio being locked up for good, Callie and Marie plan to do something to enjoy this current state of tranquility. Pearl and Marina have full schedules so those two won't be able to ride with them. "A real shame." Callie says in disappointment. Marie then gets an idea: she calls me and Tokuma to fill in for Pearl and Marina on the Squid Sisters cruise. It can be dangerous as Inklings, but at the same time it can be fun.

Callie and Marie agree to this and use their grandfather's speed boat. It's rather big for a speed boat, but that's what we need. When did their grandfather get this boat anyway? Do I really have to answer that? Oh well, maybe he bought it to travel to other islands. They are in Japan after all so being stuck on one island can be boring. But Japan being boring, impossible!

Once I got the message, I booked it to Inkopolis with Tokuma. There's NO way she's gonna miss this! A cruise with the Squid Sisters? This should be a blast! Just seeing the two made this trip worthwhile, Callie welcomed us since Marie is busy getting the boat ready. "Thank you for inviting us!" Tokuma and I said bowing to them. The Squid Sisters smiled at our gesture: this is the first time four cousins like us get to go on a trip like this.

I know many of you are predicting bad happenings in the near future of the story and you may be right. Just keep on reading to find out. "Hold onto your tentacles everyone, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Marie warned. We were all confused until she started the boat and dashed across the sea. Me, Tokuma, and Callie held onto our seats while Marie was enjoying the sea breeze smiling and laughing at us. She then let up so we wouldn't fly off.

"You should've seen the look on your faces!" Marie laughed.

"How? You're driving!" Callie pointed.

That's when we realize a camera is attached to the boat aiming at us. Callie felt like this was payback for all of the humiliation she's given Marie. I couldn't help but laugh at the thrill I just experienced: the photo has us scrunched together while holding onto our seats and screaming.

"That's a keeper." Marie said putting it in a small drawer.

"You better not show it to anyone, understood?" Callie growled.

"Yeah, yeah."

My mood went from laughing to being concerned for Callie and what she might do to "even" things up. "Please you two, let's just enjoy the ride." I said trying to calm the tension between the two. "I am, sorry I made you mad Callie." Marie apologized. Callie accepted her apology and played some music on the boat's built-in radio. Of course, their songs are playing: songs they did together and songs they did apart. This did wonders to my mood!

"So where are we heading?" I asked.

"To an island known as Inku." Marie said.

"Cool! I've never been there!"

"Now you can check that off your list of places to go."

It was gonna be a long ride, but the company of the Squid Sisters and Tokuma made this trip fun. Why Inku though? Well, it's peaceful and relaxing to all who go there. Inklings in particular though. We really need to form peace between Inklings and Octarians. Some disagree and that's why war between these two races continue.

"Hmm…?" Marie heard a strange sound coming from the inside of the steering wheel attachment. That's when things go haywire. Steering is impossible for Marie: the boat keeps on heading strait.

"What's wrong Marie!?" Callie asked.

"We've been squidjacked!" Marie yelled over the noise.

"Well that's just great!"

Marie looks for a way to fix the problem, but another one pops up just ahead of us. An island is within sight and we're heading straight for it. The crash sends us flying into the sand which makes a softer landing than concrete. "Land ho!" I yelled with my face still in the sand. When our eyes gaze upon the island, it is not Inku Island. It's unknown to us, even Callie and Marie don't know of this place. Captain Cuttle Fish tells them all kinds of stories from the places he's been to, but this was foreign.

"It appears to have zero population." I said surveying the area.

"That's great." Callie wined.

"Our troubles aren't over: the boat is a wreck." Marie added.

"Can you fix it?" Tokuma asked.

"I hope so: maybe gramps stored some spare parts somewhere in the boat."

It's wishful thinking, but we have to do something or we're stuck here forever. While Marie looks for spare parts: Callie gathers the broken pieces of the boat in a container. Meanwhile, Tokuma and I look for food: the food we packed is for emergencies only. We need to survive and eat little as possible otherwise we'll starve. This is Pikmin 1 and 3 all over again!

The forest or jungle was quiet, not even a small creature was making a sound. Tokuma found coconuts so she shook the tree and one hit her head. "Ha, ha, ha! You got hit in the head with a coconut!" I laughed referencing Spongebob. It left a small bump on her head, but nothing she can't handle. We store the coconuts in a bag we brought from the boat and continue to look for more food. Coconuts aren't really edible, but they can make great drinks.

After what seemed hours of exploring, we find bananas and lots of them. Naturally I run towards them and grab them to put in the bag. Then I'm hit with a pebble and it's a creature that's a cross between a squid and a monkey. Yeah, you saw that coming didn't you?

"Finders keepers, loser!" I said spatting at the monkey/squid.

"Uh, I think that was a bad idea." Tokuma said pointing to the trees.

Suddenly, an army of them swarms us. We get our weapons ready (yes we packed those) and fire ink at the Squinkeys. That's what I decided to call them. With our combined strength, we splatted all of them. "That was too easy." I said looking for more. I waited a few moments just in case and then grabbed the rest of the bananas.

"Callie and Marie will be proud of us." I said gimmering with pride.

"Yeah, where's our way back?" Tokuma asked.

I dropped the bag in shock: we were lost.
