AN: Hey there, here is a new chapter. Call me an idiot, but I've noticed that there was only one review for this story. I was a bit disappointed, but I don't mean to rush you to make one. Anyway, enjoy the story.
Chapter 4 – Don't Freeze
Deepsea Metro Train, Deepsea Metro Facility
"So we're octolings?" said Agent 9 as they sat on the train.
"Yeah," said Agent 8 after telling 9 about the history of inklings and octolings. "I wonder what it felt like being one though. To Cuttlefish, he said that we lived a rough life as every Octarian must be in the army."
"I guess that's why I felt like I belong to some army."
It was already 3 minutes since they got onto the train, but the two were growing impatient. They didn't know what they have to do to get to the 'promised' land.
"Now I think about it, can you do this?" said Agent 9.
At this, 9 turned into his octopus form. Agent 8 looked down at the small octopus wearing Squidfin Hook Cans.
Agent 8 was a bit confused. Can she do that? Cuttlefish didn't say that inklings and octolings could turn into squid/octopus form. She decided to try it out.
She thought for a while before feeling a bit cold. When she opened her eyes, she found herself looking at the ceiling. She lifted her head and noticed that she turned into her octopus form.
"I guess I could," said 8.
Agent 9 turned back into human form and picked 8 up.
"You look pretty cute," said 9 smiling.
8 blushed. For some reason, she started to nuzzle into 9's chest. The latter made no sign of disturbance and hugged the small octopus.
"That's pretty soft of him," thought 8. "I thought he's a bad boy because of his mohawk. Shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
Suddenly, the door leading to the next carriage opened revealing a small blue slug (wearing a small conductor hat) coming into the wagon.
"Thank you for using Deepsea Metro today," said the slug in a high pitch voice. "I am your humble conductor, C.Q Cumber."
"A talking slug?" said 8 and 9 in unison.
"I'm a SEA CUCUMBER. I take it as your first time riding with us."
C.Q Cumber slid (or bounced) across the floor towards Agent 9. The latter squatted down with 8 in his hands.
"Here's the deal," said the conductor. "We're in a vast underground facility operated by the Kamabo Corporation. It's a series of test chambers connected by the Deepsea Metro subway system. I see that you two are in possession of a CQ-80 device. I take it as your aim to reach the promised land?"
"That's right," said Agent 9. "We want out of here!"
"Understood. The promised land is a paradise to which we denizens of the depths are forbidden. To reach it, you must pass a test at each Deepsea Metro station. You must also find and collect the four thangs. When all four thangs are gathered, the door to the promised land shall open."
Agent 8 felt like laughing. 'Thangs'? Those are the things they need to get to the promised land?
"So all we gotta do is pass some tests and find some thangs and we can go home?" she asked.
"I believe so," said Cumber. "Let me show you to your first test. Please activate your CQ-80."
Agent 8 hopped out of Agent 9's hands, turned back to human form and pulled out her CQ-80. She pressed the joystick and out came a large hologram screen in front of her. It showed a map of the train stations.
"What in the blazes?!" said 9 in amazement.
"This is the Deepsea Metro map," said Cumber. "Go ahead and select a destination."
Agent 8 fiddled the joystick up and pressed on the station above the Deepsea Metro Central Station. It said 'Fake Plastic Station'.
"Very good," said Cumber. "Now departing for the first test."
The train came to a stop. Agent 8 nearly lost her balance.
"Arriving at Fake Plastic Station," said an intercom as the door opened.
Agent 8 and Agent 9 came onto the station. They looked around. It was surrounded by walls and in front of them was a pad with shoe symbols on them. On the front wall, there's a tap-card gate; one that looked like the one from the train stations.
"At each station, the available weapons will be displayed at the equipper," said Cumber pointing to the pad. "At some tests like this one, you get the choice to use your own weapon or choose a weapon at the equipper. CQ points are required to take each test. We'll grant you 1,000 CQ points to start with. The test fee indicates the number of CQ points needed to take the test. The reward is how many CQ points you will earn for passing the test. To begin the test, you need to pay at the turnstile there. If you don't have enough CQ points to take the points, you need to come back to it."
"So what is this test?" asked Agent 8.
"This test is to get to the goal. When there, you must shoot and then touch the goal. The visibility is quite poor and there will be enemies, so be careful."
Agent 9 scoffed. "Don't worry. I might have amnesia, but I'm still a soldier. I knew it. How bad can it be?"
Agent 8 rolled her eyes as she got to the turnstile (the tap-card gate). She tapped her card on it and the door opened.
"What happened if we fail the test?" asked Agent 8.
"The Kamabo Corporation will activate the exterminate system and they will send an Inkstrike to you. That's very deadly. You don't want to be killed by one," said Cumber. "And one last thing; don't freeze."
"I NEVER freeze," said Agent 9.
"Since when?" whispered Agent 8 as the test started.
3…2…1…GO!
The two octolings jumped into the area, starting the test. They found themselves in a massive area with fake plastic trees.
"What…are…those?" said Agent 9 looking around.
"Man, this subway is weird…" said Agent 8.
They walked through the vast garden until they heard something.
"TAR. GET. AC. QUIR. ED," said a robotic voice.
They looked up. On top of a building was a female octoling soldier wearing shades. But something wasn't right about her. She has sickly green skin and blue hair with green tips.
"Who's that?" said Agent 8.
"I don't know," said Agent 9 dumbly. "She looks…unwell. Maybe we could talk to her."
"DES. TROY," said the sanitized octoling shooting green turquoise ink from her Octo Shot.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
Agent 8 and 9 quickly dodged the ink. What's going on with that soldier? Was she attacking a fellow Octarian? And why was she speaking in a robotic voice? Something's wrong about her. Very wrong. Something that could be worse than very wrong.
The sanitized solider jumped down and did a full fire. She threw a splat bomb at the two agents.
BOOM!
Agent 8 was hit on the leg. She fell.
"Ow…" said Agent 8 wiping off the ink.
Somehow, even with the ink off, her leg felt weirdly painful. It was cold like DRY ICE. She looked at the ink. The texture looked differently. The ink seemed…different.
The same time when Agent 8 fell, Agent 9 did an impressive back flip and landed on his feet without losing his balance. He quickly fired and pink ink hit the sanitized octoling.
Agent 8 and 9 watched as her ghost flew up into the air and disappear.
"I didn't know you were acrobatic," said 8 impressed.
"I don't know as well," said 9. "But I feel confident."
They traded grins before continuing to venture into the forest. Not before seeing MORE sanitized octolings. Like the one they first witness, their skin was sickly green. Even worse, they had VARIOUS weapons.
"SEEK. AND. DES. TROY," they all said in a robotic voice.
"More trouble!" cried Agent 8 as a sniper shot out a line of ink towards her.
Agent 9 was able to tackle 8 to the ground before the ink nearly splatted her.
"Thanks," 8 said.
"Don't mention it," 9 said.
They got up and started to shoot ink at their foes. They were able to splat some of them. Out of nowhere, a splat bomb came into the middle of the two. They jumped sideways to avoid being in the bomb's explosion but separating them.
"DES. TROY," said the robotic voices again.
Agent 9 heard that and looked up…and regretted looking up. The sanitized soldiers were using Inkjets and firing ink at the poor agent. However, Agent 9 was smart.
He dodged the ink balls and jumped towards the sanitized soldiers in a kick-attack position. Unfortunately, that was when one of the soldiers fired ink.
SPLAT!
Agent 9 was thrown back by the ink's explosion. His body was covered in green turquoise ink and was stinging like dry ice. He fell back. When he looked up, the sanitized soldiers were about to shoot him. He was stuck. He couldn't move.
It stunk.
It really stunk.
There was nothing he could do. There was only one thing left for him to do. Agent 9 sighed and closed his eyes.
BOOM!
There were an explosion and the sanitized soldiers groaning in pain. Agent 9 looked up and saw Agent 8. She had managed to throw a Splat Bomb at the sickly foes.
"You froze," said Agent 8.
Agent 9 glared at her.
As they got up, they heard something. They looked in front to see a flying object floating above a pad.
"That must be the goal!" said Agent 8.
They shot their ink at the goal and it took shape into a pole. They hopped onto the target and a whistle was heard.
"TEST COMPLETED!" said the intercom.
"Well down!" said Agent 9 slapping Agent 8 on the back.
"You did a good job as well," said Agent 8 smiling.
Upon finding a launchpad, they used it to head back to the start where C.Q Cumber greeted them.
"Congratulations, 10,008 and 10,009," said the small conductor. "Now onto the next stage."
As they got onto the train, Cumber said, "Did 10,009 freeze?"
Agent 8 nodded before Agent 9 punched her on the shoulder.
Cumber laughed. "I told you so."
Agent 8 and 9 continued to go through many tests. They were hard and unforgivable. But it was worth it as they were heading close to the first thang.
Throughout the tests, Agent 8 and 9 felt scared. Somehow, every time the sanitized soldiers attacked them, they felt like they are thrown in a trash bin. They felt like they were being mocked.
Agent 8 felt sad about that. Why was she feeling that way? Why did she feel like the universe is against her? Those thoughts and feelings didn't deter her even though she felt tense in her body. Finally, they got to the first thang; the foundation thang.
"Wow!" said Agent 9 as they looked at it. It looked like some black object with buttons on it.
"This looks huge!"
"Well it is," said Agent 8. "But I think we've seen this before. Too bad I couldn't remember where. All I know is that it could lead to fate."
"Whatever fate is, we got to get out of here!"
As they pushed the big thang to the train, Agent 8 frowned. Agent 9 noticed this.
"Are you OK?" asked 9.
"I'm…" said 8. "I'm fine…c…can I be real with you for a moment?"
They stopped. 9 noticed that 8 had tears in her eyes.
"If I'm honest," said 8. "I don't know why I am here. I am scared while going through these tests and even though I lost my memory, I feel like someone is pulling me back. It's like the whole universe is…against me. I…I don't know if I can do this…I feel like something terrible will happen soon…"
9 put his hand on 8's shoulder.
"I'm scared as well," he said sadly. "I don't know why I am here as well. Even when I woke up at first, I was so upset about not knowing who I am that I screamed the hell out of me. It felt very…SEVERE. I don't know why the heck this is all happening, but I promise that we will get out of this dump."
Agent 8 smiled. "Thanks, for…that advice. I thought that you were some kind of…hot-tempered freak but…you are not bad after all…"
Her voice faded as something came over hers and Agent 9's eyes.
"HEY! STOP! PLEASE!" said Agent 8 as she was pushed to the ground.
"Ha ha ha! If you want us to stop, then why are you so weak?" mocked the octoling bully.
The large group laughed. Agent 8 looked down in tears. Agent 9 growled. His hairstyle was different back then; his hair was tied up in a high ponytail.
"You guys pick on someone your own size!" he yelled.
"Like you?" said another bully. "A freak with two different eyes?"
"Don't you dare say a word about my eyes."
"Oh…sorry…" said the front bully in mocking sarcasm. "I mean no harm. And if you want respect, why can't you be stronger. Oh, wait. That's right; you two are PATHETICALLY weak."
The jerks laughed as Agent 9 tried to attack them but was again pushed to the ground.
Agent 8 watched in sadness. This was one of the days…
One of the days that was unspeakable.
"What…the…" said Agent 8.
The two agents looked at each other in confusion. One moment, they were in Deepsea Metro and the next moment was being cornered by bullies and the next moment being brought back to reality.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
"Were we…" said Agent 8.
"…BULLIED before?" said Agent 9.
None of the two octolings said a word as they got back to the Deepsea Metro Central Station.
"You two are da bomb fo rizzle!" said the telephone in excitement. "You got the first thang! Find all four and you will…ERROR…the promised land. Keep on keeping on!"
Agent 8 and 9 were too miserable to be happy at this moment. Ever since they got their first memory, they couldn't shake it out of their head. It remained in their mind like a permanent scar. They walked over to the tent where Cuttlefish was inside. He was sitting down, surrounded by cushions.
"Oh! You're back!" said Cuttlefish before noticing the first thang behind them. "So this is one of the four thangs, eh?"
The octolings nodded.
"These thangs are as weird as this place, but we got to get out of here somehow," said Cuttlefish. "We got to hurry and find three more, but for now, take a rest. On my watch, it's night time. You need rest."
The two agents sat inside the tent. Cuttlefish noticed that they look…inconsolable.
"Are you two OK?" he asked concerned.
"Well…" said Agent 8.
BUZZ!
"Huh?" said Cuttlefish taking out his walkie-talkie which was shaking. "Is this thing working?!"
"Seems to be…" said Agent 9.
"Oho! I hear something! Come in, Agent 3! General Jus! Do you copy?"
"Mic check, one-two," said a young female voice. "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!"
Cuttlefish was taken back. "EXCUSE me?"
"Pearl!" said another female voice (a bit older and elegant). "Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?!"
"That was a bit insulting," said a male voice.
"Huh?" said Cuttlefish confused. "Who am I speaking to? Where is Agent 3 and General Jus? State your names!"
"Uh, I think I asked you first dude," said the young female voice. "Anyway, I'm Pearl, but you can call me !"
For some reason, she started rapping.
"My deets? I'm short and sweet!
I spit that fire makes posers perspire!
Step to my game? I'll bring the pain.
I've never shaken because I'm OFF THE HOOK!"
"Oho?" said Cuttlefish. "Check it, kid. Are you stepping to me with a rap battle? MC Craig in the house!"
Rap battle? What does that mean? Agent 8 and 9 looked at each other in confusion; oblivious to rap as Cuttlefish started to rap.
"Call me Captain Cuttlefish, but not because I cuddle fish.
Smooth like butta, bet you wish that you could stunt a flow like this!"
And on they went rapping and rapping and rapping. Agent 8 and 9 continued to stare in confusion. They heard the Calamari Inktation before, but they never heard rapping. All they could say is that it sounded catchy. AND horrible.
"OK, you two," said the older female voice. "That's ENOUGH!"
"Aw…" said the male voice. "But it was about to get better!"
"Mr Cuttlefish, was it? We found a radio here and heard your transmission."
"We're currently on Mount Nantai. Where are you calling from?"
"Mount Nantai…" said Cuttlefish. "Why that's near Octo Valley! Agent 8, 9 and I were near there, but someone seemed to have taken us deep underground…"
"I see…" said the older female. "So you and this…Agent 8 and 9 didn't know where you were?"
"Almost," said Agent 8. "It's a long story."
They explained how they woke up with no memory, found themselves in a large facility and had to go through tests to get to the promised land.
"I'm sorry to hear that," said the male voice. "It must be hard for you to go through various tests to escape…"
"But worry not!" said the older female voice determined. "From now on, you'll have me, Marina – aka DJ_Hyperfresh – supporting you!"
"You even have me; Oro – Master of Dualies, the freshest squid in the world but feel free to call me Gold-Victor!" said the male voice.
"I'll get to work analyzing your surroundings and hopefully I'll be of some help to you!"
"I'll tell you which weapons to choose from and what's the best battle strategies. Trust me; you're going to need them."
"I don't really get what's going on, but hang tight," said Pearl who was not focusing. "We got you!"
"OK," said Cuttlefish. "Anyone who loves rapping is a friend of mine. Thanks for your help! For now, we are going to rest."
"Take your time!" said Oro. "Call us if you're ready. We will promise to look out for you guys! Be careful out there-"
"OH YEAH!" said Pearl as she started rapping again.
"Pearl!" said Marina annoyed before saying something inaudible to Pearl.
"Sorry…got to go…bye! You two…stop…" said Oro before the call ended.
"Well that was some heck…" said Agent 9.
"Oh well," said Cuttlefish.
"Uh," said Agent 8. "I don't mean to be rude but do you have any food for us to have?"
"Oh yes!" said Cuttlefish taking out some food from his bag. "I got some crabby cakes. They are cold, but I think they are fine to eat."
Agent 8 and 9 were given one. They bit into the cold moulded meatball. It tasted good! 8 enjoyed every crispy, savoury taste.
"Thanks for the food," said 9. "I'm grateful for that. I haven't tasted ANYTHING good ever since I had to eat the hard biscuits from the vending machine."
Cuttlefish smiled. "I guess you two octolings aren't so bad after all."
Agent 8 smiled. It was almost the first compliment she heard all this time. But still, she felt like she's getting closer to a horrible end.
Outside the tent, the telephone seemed to be whispering something.
"Oh well done, 10,008 and 10,009. You're closer to get to the promised land…"
Suction-Cup Lookout, 18/06, 9:00 am
After a long ride on the zip line, Cadet and Marie arrived at Suction-Cup Lookout. Cadet moved his front tentacle bang to the side. The stage looked nice. There were many brick buildings with stickers and some plants surrounding them.
"This place looks nice," said Marie looking around. "I wonder why it's like that. Anyway, we better get moving."
"I say we should split up and meet each other on the boss kettle," said Cadet.
"What? I don't know about that…"
"Yeah," said Sheldon through their headsets. "You wouldn't want to work alone."
"We could save a lot of time and get to the Great Zapfish earlier," objected Cadet. "Plus, I work better alone."
Marie was silent. By the look in Cadet's turquoise eyes, he didn't like to work as a team, but he seemed to be right.
"OK then," said Marie. "We'll split up. There are 6 zapfishes to save. That means each of us has to save 3 zapfishes."
"Got it," said Cadet nodding.
The Skull Sniper shot a long line of lime ink at one of the entrances. He went in.
The two took their time rescuing the zapfishes alone. Even though they split up, they were able to save several of them.
Then, they only had one more zapfish to save. UNFORTUNATELY, Cadet was already saving that zapfish…and he's in trouble.
He entered Octoling Strike. As he looked around, he noticed that the stage looked similar to the Reef; a map he played in Turf Wars.
"It looks the same," thought Cadet looked around. "Except the shops."
He noticed that the shops didn't have many products. They were only selling gloomy, dark clothes and Octo weapons. Something caught his attention. On the other side of the map was Octolings. They looked like the Inklings, except they had curlier hair with suction cups on them. Oh, and they were wearing Octo Goggles and Shades.
"Octolings!" said Cadet. He knew that Marina on the surface is an Octoling but the Octolings he had to face didn't look friendly.
"Agent 4!" said Sheldon. "I found 8 zapfishes at this stage. You need to save all 8."
"There are 8 zapfishes here," thought Cadet. "Well, that was unexpected."
He shot a long line of lime ink on the ground and swam in it; heading to the zapfishes.
At one of the zapfish cages, there was a ground of Octolings soldiers known as Team B.
"There's an inkling heading towards the zapfishes," said the female leader. "Protect those cages and do not let the zapfish out!"
"How hard could it be?" said a male soldier with the mohawk hairstyle.
"What's that?" said a female soldier with her hair in a ponytail.
They looked in front to see lime ink. That's the ink colour of the New Squidbeak Splatoon.
"Oh, Inkling!" teased the leader hoping that the agent would come out so she could splat it. "Come out where ever you are."
But nothing came out of the ink. The octolings weren't bothered by that.
"It looks like that inkling is too afraid to show itself," said the male soldier. "I heard that the agent here is the new one."
"Hah!" said the female soldier. "I think that coward is too scared. Scared to get splatted like an insect."
The group laughed at this.
TAP! TAP!
"Hmm?" said the octolings hearing something.
SNIPE! SNIPE! SNIPE!
Cadet was able to snipe the octolings from behind them.
"That's how it's done," said Cadet as he broke the cage, freed the Zapfish.
In only a few seconds, he was able to free the other six, but he didn't come close to attack the Octolings. He was still a sniper and could trounce them.
"Just one more!" said Sheldon. "Keep going!"
Cadet moved his front tentacle bang to the side and ran. He found the last zapfish at a corner. As he got closer to the cage, the zapfish seemed to struggle.
"Don't worry," said Cadet. "I won't hurt you. I'm just going to break the cage and-"
Suddenly from behind him, he felt ink splatting on his back. He realized what the zapfish was trying to say.
He was hit, face-first to the ground. He quickly stood up and saw a group of Octolings. Before he could fire, dark fuchsia ink was splatting him from every direction. He couldn't shoot accurately. There's only one thing to do…
RUN!
He quickly shot a long line of lime ink and swam in it. Away from the octolings.
"Agent 4!" said Sheldon. "What are you doing?"
Cadet didn't respond. He has to get to a tall tower so he could snipe his foes out. When he emerged the ink and got to the bottom of the tower, he thought he's safe…
Boy, he was WRONG.
A female octoling soldier jumped down and landed on Cadet; tackling the poor inkling on the ground.
"Augh!" screamed Cadet. He couldn't move. The female octoling was too strong.
"Well, well, well," said the octoling mockingly. "What do we have here? Is this the new agent? Oh, wait; it is. If you are so brave, why are you trying to run away? I bet it's because you're trying to get to your mummy."
The octoling snickered at that joke. Unconsciously, Cadet curled his fists.
"I'm surprised that that blasted Agent 2 recruited a coward for us to sacrifice," continued the female octoling as she pointed her Octo Shot at Cadet's head. "Don't worry. The pain will be over…very soon."
She snickered. Cadet felt himself sweating. His mind went into fight or flight mode. He was going to die. Then out of the blue, he felt his hair sparkled. He knew what that meant.
"Huh?" said the female octoling confused. "Why the-"
But it was too late. Cadet felt his ink tank and charger changing into; the STINGRAY.
His special weapon fired a lime laser at the female octoling before doing a quick turned. He wasn't seeing where he was shooting as his eyes were closed.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw that he splatted the octolings. And the cage was broken. The zapfish gurgled in happiness as it came out and snuggled Cadet followed by the other zapfishes (the ones Cadet saved in this mission), all did the same action.
But this didn't cheer Cadet up.
"What took you saw long?" asked Marie as the depressed Cadet came out of the entrance.
"Nothing," said Cadet not wanting to talk.
"Well…" said Sheldon, hesitating a bit – for the first time. "Agent 4 was nearly killed by the octolings back there. He tried to run away."
"Agent 4," said Marie. "You were trying to run away?"
"No, no!" said Cadet looking at the other direction. "I was…I was trying to get to a good distance to snipe them down."
"Well, you know that when near enemies, there's no excuse to retreat. You need to get out there and face them FACE-TO-FACE. You have to be a man. Even I have to do it when enemies are too close."
Marie then muttered something under her breath. "I wonder why that agent is acting as a soft kitty."
Cadet was taken back by this. "You know that agents mess up as well!"
"I NEVER said I was perfect," snapped Marie. "This is serious. This is nothing like the turf war battles. This is REAL war. And agents can't back down. If you're so scared, why did you even join in the first place?!"
Cadet was silent. This is much worse than being cornered by the octolings. He remembered that the inklings liked to call him a coward and Marie is disgusted with his cowardice.
"C'mon," said Marie jumping into the boss kettle. "Let's go."
Cadet sighed and followed her. They found themselves in a large platform with bright Japanese-like signs everywhere.
"I wonder what this is," said Cadet looking around as he moved his front tentacle bang to the side.
"There's the zapfish!" said Marie pointing to the zapfish trapped in a bubble above the dark fuchsia ink.
"Um…" said Sheldon. "I found an Octarian spawn point around here."
Suddenly, an octopus tentacle grabbed the zapfish and pulled it into the ink.
"Oh, no," said Cadet. "Not again."
A huge light shined from the ink. This time, both Cadet and Marie covered their eyes. Once the dramatic entrance was over, what they saw made their mouth drop.
It was a LARGE MUSCULAR octoling, wielding a Dynamo Roller and riding on a unicycle.
"It's the Octo Samurai!" said Sheldon. "Smoke this clown, you two. For the honour for your friends. Your family. Your g…"
"OK, Sheldon," said Cadet quietly as he looked at the Octo Samurai in disgust. "We get the picture."
The Octo Samurai got in close and smashed the ground with its Dynamo Roller nearly harming Cadet and Marie.
"How do we destroy that thing?!" said Cadet.
"Just shoot at it!" said Marie.
They used their chargers to cover the Octo Samurai in lime ink. It was taking harm, but it was not enough.
"Well," said Cadet as he pulled out a Splat Bomb. "I guess next time, we should get a roller."
He threw the bomb at the Octo Samurai. The explosion splatted the large beast. The two agents watched as its ghost flew in the air.
"I'm glad that's over," said Marie.
Suddenly, Cadet heard a noise. He looked at the ground. The unicycle started to turn into a SPAWN POINT.
"It's not over!" said Cadet. "Shoot at the tentacle!"
They both shot at the tentacle, making the spawn point let out a geyser of dark fuchsia ink. It started to lose power.
"Is it over?" said Marie looking at the spawn point.
The Octo Samurai's ghost came into the spawn point and respawned. Despite how big it was, it came out with ease and grabbed Marie.
"Hey!" said Marie as her charger fell out of her hands.
Holding Marie in one hand and the Dynamo Roller in the other, the Octo Samurai got back onto the unicycle and charged towards Cadet. It made a swing attack.
SWUNG!
Cadet flew in the air and landed hard on the ground.
He got up trembling but with his charger in his hands. Without second thoughts, he shot at the Octo Samurai…or at least he thought so.
"Hey!" said Marie as she spat the lime ink out from her mouth. "Watch where you are shooting!"
Cadet ignored her and continued to shoot at the Octo Samurai, but it was making it difficult for him. It was making a lot of attacks with its roller so Cadet had to move back so he could fire at a distance. Finally, he threw a splat bomb at the Octo Samurai.
BOOM!
With the Octo Samurai splatted, Marie was free. The unicycle turned back once more to the spawn point.
"Shoot the tentacle!" said Sheldon. "One last time!"
They shot at the tentacle causing it to burst. The spawn point started to shake unusually. The Octo Samurai's ghost was trying to respawn in that, but nothing worked. The spawn point was smoking. It was glowing lime green. Finally, it expanded.
KABOOM!
An explosion of lime ink flew everywhere. This time, Cadet put his arm over his eyes thus avoiding his eyes being hit by the lime ink.
"Man," said Marie as she shook the lime ink off her. "That was kind of insane. Great work, Agent 4."
Cadet nodded and took the zapfish.

The chapter's title is inspired by a Marvel Movie. Can you guess where it comes from?
Also, Oro makes a special surprise; he will play a major role in helping Agent 8, 9 and Cuttlefish to escape! Unlike in the game, I decided to make C.Q Cumber a bit more nicer.
