You exit the grate, panting and out of energy.
Marie: come on agent 4! Only two left to go!
(Y/N) ok *pant* Marie.
You enter the next stage, launching over to the level.
(time skip)
you shoot the electric ball surrounding the zap fish, and grab it. Once you exit the grate, you head over to the boss grate, which started to spark and lift the cover. You enter the grate, and start to battle the boss.
(another time skip lol idk how to do these things)
You splat the boss, and grab the zap fish, returning you to the grate. You super jump over to Marie, and hand her the zap fish.
(Y/N): there you *pant lightly* go
Marie: You seem pretty tired. Why don't you start to head back...
Marie has a worried look on her face, so you start to head back.
Marie: oh and agent 4! *you turn around and look at her* make sure to be back here tommorrow! You nod and head to the grate to inkopolis. (keep going...almost there) but before you can make it to, you collapse in the middle of into polis square, then you go unconscious.
?: oh my cod, are you okay?
(Y/N): mmph...
?: oh no, oh no. It's gonna be fine, I'll take you back to my place!
She tells someone else to get over here and help her.
?2: what do you need hel- oh. Ok get him to the limo.
The two people drag you to their 'limo' and Set you In the seat. You then fall asleep.
(time skip again lol)
You wake up to someone shaking you awake. You open your eyes and see an octoling.
(Y/N): OH NO! HELP!
The octoling puts a hand over your mouth and looks at you with a worried expression. (why is the octoling worried? About me?)
?: what's wrong?
(Y/N): *you look at her until she realizes you can't talk and she moves her hand* well, I saw you were an octoling, and I kinda panicked, and thought I was captured by the octolings.
?: what?! How do you know im an octoling?
(Y/N): well, I kinda saw the hair, and that was pretty much a dead giveaway.
?: oh no, you can't tell anyone, especially not pearl! What will people think of me? You CAN'T tell anyone please!
(Y/N): fine I won't tell anyone. And who's pearl?
Pearl: me.
The voice comes from behind you, and you jump up and almost fall over backing up away from the voice.
Pearl: hehe, come on marina we need to go to work.
Marina: ok pearlie.
(Y/N): oh wait! Can I come? I need to go to work.
Marina: sure.
All three of you head out the door, and when you do, you realize how big this place really is. (holy carp they love in a mansion!) then all three of you walk to the car and get in. Marina tells the driver to head to the studio, and they are off.
Marina: so...what's your job?
(Y/N): oh, um...stuff?
Pearl: stuff huh? Whatever.
Pearl keeps giving you looks, but when they arrive, the two idols go into the studio, and you head off to the grate. When no one is looking, you slink into the pipes, and in a few minutes you are back on the floating island. You can't find marie anywhere, so you sit on the couch and wait for her.
Marie: oh.. Hello agent 4, are you ready to get to work?
(Y/N): yea, let's go
You head to the next area and clear the first few levels with ease (this is a lot easier than before. Maybe because I'm used to it?) but the last level before the grate, he cleared most of the level with ease, but he was swarmed by elite octolings and injured.
Marie: agent 4! Are you ok? You need to get up or you'll be splatted!
You try to get up, and manage to walk a few steps before falling face first into enemy ink. The k stings your skin, and as you get up you hear people talking.
Octoling: aw, he's so cute
Octoling 2: I wish we could keep him.
Octoling 3: they don't allow pets at base. Let's just put him out of his misery.
Before they shoot you, you realize your ink tank is half full. You throw down an ink bomb, exploding them all. You limp over to the zap fish, shoot the. Ir le and grab it. When you go back to base, you fall over with a grunt and stare at the sky.
Marie: oh my cod agent 4, are you ok?!
(Y/N): I'm...*pant*...fine
Marie: you don't look fine. Take this.
She hands you something, and you put it in your mouth, it was rock shaped, but before you could say anything, it dissolved in your mouth, and you fell asleep. When you woke up, Marie was a few feet away sleeping on the couch. You try to get up, and surprisingly, you are able to it without pain. You shake Marie awake, and when she wakes up, she looks at you and says
Marie: hello agent 4...
(Y/N): thanks for giving me the medicine. Your the best.
Marie blushes slightly, and says your welcome. Then you get up to leave.
Marie: where are you going
(Y/N): to my friends house. I live there I guess.
Marie: oh...make sure you come back tommorrow...
Marie seemed disappointed that you couldn't stay. But you decide to walk back to your friends house. In about half an hour you make it back, and press the buzzer.
