It was a beautiful morning as AllStar and the gang were at their usual hangout, a Fast Food restaurant. As they were eating lunch, Dimmy was talking about things going on about what has been going on at home. Everyone listens as Occy sleeps underneath the table, like he always does on occasion.

"So dad had gathered enough money to buy one of those Hybrid Cars," explains Dimmy, "But when he tried to drive it, he realized he can't drive stick shift and ends up driving it into the living of our house. He wasn't hurt, but he got more than what he bargained for."

"How did your dad snorked the wall?" asked Casey as she takes a bite out of her sea burger.

"I thought you had crash poles set up outside your house," claims AllStar.

"We did, but he drove over the poles," said Dimmy, "The insurance company are furious at my dad, he has too wait for two weeks till he gets his license back as a result."

"Who thought of that idea?" asked Daffney.

"Governor Wellington, who else?" answered Dimmy.

Occy opened his eyes and looked around the restaurant, it was getting quite crowded. Heck, it's always crowded for some reason. Just as the red octopus stood up, something burst out of the sand and scared the gang half to death.

The gang screamed, grabbing every snork's attention at the fast food joint. When the dust cleared, a green octopus with pink eyes was sitting there laughing as hard as it can. Everyone soon relaxes as they realize the octopus poses no threat. "Oh, it's just another green octopus," sighed AllStar, "I think it's the Neuroctopus breed though."

Occy soon got angry and began to bark at the Neuroctopus, the Neuroctopus taunts Occy by making silly faces before it took off. Fired up, Occy swam after the Neuroctopus as everyone looks on, AllStar gobbled his sea burger before giving case to Occy. "Occy!" cried AllStar, "Come back!"

His friends looked at each other and then at AllStar as he swims off, they soon finished eating and swam off after him in a hurry. "Here we go again," groans Daffney.

Occy chases the Neuroctopus as it swam around Coral Reefs and kelp plants, just as Occy closes in on the green octopus it released it's black ink into Occy's face. The Neuroctopus' black ink stings Occy's eyes so bad that it blinded him, unable to see where he's going and too fast to stop he soon slams into a boulder head on and was knocked out cold.

"Occy!" called AllStar nearby, "Where are you?"

Unfortunately for Occy, the Neuroctopus came back and grabbed him with its tentacles before dragging him away. Seconds later, AllStar showed up unaware on what just happened. "Occy!" called AllStar, "Snork, I lost him!"

"If you keep yelling out his name, your voice would give out." says Casey as the swims by.

"Oh Snork, this is not good," worried AllStar, "This is not good!"

Tooter tooted, sounding very reassuring.

"Don't worry AllStar, we'll look for him," says Daffney, translating what Tooter said.

"I sure hope," said AllStar, "Why does Occy have to go missing anyway?"

AllStar and the gang did their best and searched around Snorkland for Occy, or signs of him on where he went. After a few hours of searching, they soon went to Dr. Gallio for help. After explaining what happened, Dr. Gallio showed no signs of reassurance.

"You mean he chased off a Neuroctopus?" asked Dr. Gallio.

"Yes," said AllStar.

"This is not good," explained Dr. Gallio as he digs through a drawer and pulls out a folder, he drops it onto the table and AllStar took a look inside it. It had newspaper clippings of articles about Neuroctopuses, "Usually the Neuroctopus becomes the hunted by getting their prey to chase them off to a isolated location before they jump them, then they drag them back to the Outback before eating them for lunch."

"But every Neuroctopus can trace their descendents back to Occy," claimed AllStar as he drops the folder back onto the table, "Would this family tie help?"

"It could, but that only depends on how Occy will react," said Dr. Gallio, "You've seen them, either they know or not they'll show no mercy against Occy. That's if he fights back that is, we'll just have to wait and see if Occy would show up or not."

"I just hope so," said AllStar.
