A/N: *F.B.I, OPEN UP!* Ayyyy, it's your boy Zygarde one again, with another chapter! So I know that I didn't post a chapter last week, but I've kinda worked out a schedule for how things work. More on that later. Either way, let's get this story out on the road!

Chapter 3: Rollers, Octarians, and Zapfish

I took a look at my surroundings, then realized that I was on a floating platform. Wait a second.

"A FLOATING PLATFORM?!" I quickly yelped.

"Yeah, the Octarians love flaunting their tech. You should also use that launchpad over there."

"Noted." After using it, I asked, "So, I should always go to a launchpad after using it?"

I got a yes and decided to ink my surroundings. As I did that, I saw these weird tentacle-things.

"I assume these are the Octarians?" I said through my headset.

"Yep, you're right. They might look not that dangerous, but their shots can stack up on you." Marie said. "That being said, these aren't the only kind of Octarian."

"Got it."

A few platforms later…

"Hey, where's the launchpad?" I questioned.

"Under that vault." I saw a metal cylinder with some locks on it. "You should break some of those crates."

Using a special lock on my roller, I held my roller in vertical swing, and I smashed all of the crates by slamming and spinning my roller around. After my Hero's Spin (a name I came up with), I saw a golden key, along with some deep puddles of ink.

"HOW IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT ZAPFISH DID YOU DO THAT?!" I heard Marie scream.

"Believe me, that took lots of practice to pull off. Didn't learn it overnight." I said while unlocking the vault. I jumped to what seemed to be a final platform. I broke open a crate, and got a… can?

"You got a canned special!" Marie exclaimed. "Open it, and you'll get some Tenta Missiles!"

"Sweet!" I took a few steps back, then fired away. I heard some explosions, and saw platforms drenched in green ink. I found a key, and opened the vaults at the bottom. While two of them were empty, one of them had a launchpad. I used it, and jumped to a platform. At the platform, I was informed by Marie that I needed to break the shield around the Zapfish with my ink. I did so, and I grabbed my first Zapfish of many.

About an hour later…

I heard some hissing, and saw that the large kettle in the middle no longer had a lid on it.

"Alright! You opened a boss kettle. There should be another Zapfish in there, and an Octoweapon as well." Marie told me. "But be careful, as Octoweapons are more dangerous than anything you've seen yet."

I jumped in and took in my surroundings. There was a circular platform, a big puddle of fuscisa ink, and a Zapfish on a wire. I jumped to the arena, and saw a large tentacle trap and pull the Zapfish down. Then, I saw massive lights erupt from the puddle, and some weird chanting. A few seconds later, a giant toaster emerged and roared at me.

(A/N: Italicized text is telepathic thought. Now, back to the battle.)

Uh, dad? Can you guide me through this?

Absolutely, Antonio. Dodge that loaf, now!

I dodged the blow and proceeded to dodge more angry loaves of toast, until the machine jammed and shot out all of its toast.

"Now!" Marie's voice cut in. "Climb the Octo Oven and wail on that tentacle!"

I swinged my roller and climbed the monster. After the tentacle bursted, a geyser of Octarian ink sprayed all over.

"Good." Marie said. "But don't start loafing around or things might start to go a rye."

I jumped off, and saw the tentacle pull up and down, while seeing all of the loafs… gain armor?

"Wait… armor on toast? Is that even possible?"

I was thinking the same thing. Look out!

I promptly dodged and waited for another malfunction. When that came, I noticed that the armor couldn't be inked, so it made my ascent to the top of the oven a bit more harder, but not that hard. After the same thing happened, I jumped off again, and it extended some long metal... arm?

"A glazing machine? Looks evil."

Keep yourself far away from that machine!

Using their advice, I avoided the machine, and began to find my way around and to the top of the machine. It was considerably harder, now that the bread was moving back in the second I stepped on it. Although I had less space to operate, I still made it to the top of the Octo Oven, and finished it off with a Hero's Spin.

"This guy's toast!" Marie said, sounding very excited.

"Is that it with the bread puns?" I said, groaning. I then saw it flash green lights all over, and it exploded with my ink all over. In the middle was, yes, a Zapfish!

"I think it is… at yeast for now." I heard Marie say. I groaned while I grabbed said Zapfish.

Great job, Antonio. I'm very proud of you.

(Later, at Cuttlefish Cabin…)

"That's the last of them. But I'm kinda unnerved that they had a fully operational Octoweapon with them. I'm calling in the big guns now."

"Sheldon?" I asked.

"Right on the money. Sheldon, can you hear us?"

"Testing, testing- OH MAN THIS IS SO SWEET!" I heard the voice of the turf war weapon dealer exclaim.

"Easy there Sheldon. As you know, I'm Marie, or Agent 2 of the NSS." She informed.

"And I'm Antonio, or Agent 4 of the NSS!" I exclaimed.

"Antonio, as in the leader of Team Overdrive?" I said yes. "I'm a huge fan of you! Your last battle was crazy sweet!" Sheldon geeked out. "Anyways, Marie tasked me with upgrading your weapons, which I can do. Just leave them in the prototype Enhancifier, and you'll get better performance from it! Just note that it takes two hours to do it, so you should do it overnight, like a system update for your phone."

"Aaaaannnndddddd that's really it. I think it's time for you to get back home, so people don't wonder where you are. We should also swap contacts, so you know when to head on down here for the action. And one last thing. Can you not tell anyone about our organization? We need to keep our secrecy." Marie told me.

"Got it. I won't tell anyone. See you tomorrow?" I asked. I got a thumbs up, and I returned to Inkopolis.

A/N: Sorry I missed my last update date, I didn't have time to finish my chapter due to schoolwork. :( To make up, I'll post another chapter right after this, but you might not see it immediately. Until next chapter, guys!
