Prologue
The Octarians have fallen once again, DJ Octavio is back in his snow globe, and Callie is back to normal. Those Octarians and Octolings who were against Octavio now live under the protection of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Unfortunately some still remain that would like nothing more than to crush this tentative peace. And though the heroes work tirelessly to maintain it, it may soon unravel altogether
Chapter 1 Virus
(Carly's perspective)

It was supposed to be just another routine check, a patrol through the Octarian lair to make sure they weren't causing trouble. Oh how wrong I was.
"Marie so far so good, no activity here" I said into the mic.
I hear her response in my ear , "Ok agent 4, keep going just in case, we don't want any unwelcome surprises."
Just as she said that, I heard gunfire.
I duck behind cover, "Octo-Snipers!? Here?"
I peak out, only to receive a shot to the face, "Owww! Good thing I had armor..."
I take out the sniper and move on clearing up resistance. I was generally making sure no innocents were harmed. I reached the last launchpad before the exit, and collapsed.
Next thing I know I'm in a hospital room. The beeping heart monitor and the sound of an IV pump ringing in my ears.
"ugh... what... happened?" I groaned.
Marie and an inkling boy I've never met are standing by my bedside talking, when they finally notice I'm awake Marie introduces him as agent 3.
"Agent 4 I have some bad news. That ink blast you took seems to have had a strange effect on your body. We're working on countering it. As far as we can tell however it seems to be acting like a virus. It's systematically killing you from the inside. We've been able to slow the progress. The problem is as far as I can tell you may only have a few..."
She choked on her words unable to finish. Agent 3 speaks up.
"If we can't find a cure the virus could kill you in as little as a month," He says solemnly.
"A month!?" I squeaked "I might be dead in a month!?"
The beeping of the heart monitor quickened as my heart races in panic.
"I only just got home from the war!"
Alarms go off as my heart begins to palpitate unsteadily.
"Agent 4 calm down! You can't lose hope! We're making progress towards a cure! It'll take just take time," Agent 3 said.
He began trying to calmly get me to lay down, and Marie yelled for help. A few nurses rush in and very soon my heart was stabilized again.
"I... I don't want to die... not... not like this..." I said, crying.
"You're going to be ok agent 4 we'll find a way to save you" Marie's words reassure me as I start to lose consciousness.
