Get ready for a new fresh song :D! Stay Fresh my dudes!
New Albacore Hotel. Redd invited the Squid Sisters there, and all he said to them was "I know what's going on". Curious about this, Callie and Marie decided to come and find out what this is all about.
Once they were inside, they all sat at the dining room table for some conversations.
"I know why Mr. Grizz is being so hard on you two." Redd said to them.
"What do you mean?" Callie asked.
"Are you sure?" Marie added.
"He's just using you to get more Golden Eggs than he'd expect." Redd replied. The Squid Sisters got surprised by this. All this time, Mr. Grizz just used them for more Golden Egg hunts!
"I can't believe it!" Callie yelled, anger now in her voice.
"That bear radio thinks he can just do that to us!" Marie exclaimed.
"I agree. We need to show Mr. Grizz what we are truly capable of." Redd said.
"Yes, but how?" Marie asked.
"Girls... are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Redd asked as he smirked.
"Ooh, I think I get your plan." Callie said as she shows the red Inkling a mischievous smile.
"We're all agents of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, so I guess we should show Mr. Grizz how our own weapons deal in this world." Redd explained.
"It seems a bit risky... but it's worth a try." Marie said.
"Okay, so here's the plan," Redd continued, "We will all grab our Hero weapons as backup when Mr. Grizz gives us the rented weapons. Then, at the right time, we show our agent outfits and begin to get as much Golden Eggs as possible. In addition to this, Joel and I will play a new song and distract Mr. Grizz from all this."
"That sounds awesome!" Callie shouted.
"Let's do it." Marie added.
"Indeed." Redd replied. Before they could leave, Reddd grabbed his squid phone and dialed a number.
"Joel?" Redd asked as he put his phone to his ear.
"Hi, Redd. What's up?" Joel greeted.
"Meet me at the Grizzco shop. I have something we need to do." Redd replied.
Grizzco shop. The three enter the shop, and are greeted by Mr. Grizz.
"Right on time, you three. I got some amazing work for you to do. Bonuses are huge as a reward." Mr. Grizz said.
"Perfect." Redd said with a smirk.
"Go put on the outfit. The next boat leaves soon." Mr. Grizz commanded.
"Yes sir!" All three of them exclaimed with a salute.
Soon, the Inklings get changed into the Grizzco outfits. But they had a little plan up their sleeve. Eventually, Joel meets up with them and comes with them.
Back in Spawning Grounds, when the Squid Sisters were getting through their first training program. The group of Inklings super jump to the land, and turn back into humanoid form once they landed. They each got their weapon. Redd got the .52 Gal, Callie got the Splat Roller, Marie got the Jet Squelcher and Joel got the Glooga Dualies.
Redd smirked once he saw the weapon, and then he threw it to the side.
"Profreshional Redd! You do realize what you have done, right?" Mr. Grizz exclaimed, frustration in his voice.
"Deal with it, Mr. Grizz. I knew this day would come." Redd said.
-Flashback...-
Redd was talking to Joel a few minutes before the boat leaves.
"When I do the signal, I want you to use these as your weapon." Redd said, showing his friend the Hero Dualies.
"I don't know, Redd. I got that from challenges, and it just works the same as the regular Splat Dualies." Joel said as he crossed his arms.
"No, that's just a replica. These have an amazing fire rate, and the dodge rolls go farther out." Redd explained.
"Well, it's worth a try. If it's meaning to save the Squid Sisters from getting hurt from Salmonids, it's worth a try." Joel said with a smile, then takes the Dualies.
"Excellent. Now let's go." Redd replied.
-Flashback end-
"It's really that great, isn't it? We have finally made it here. After some days of watching the Squid Sisters do this job, I realized... something horrifying." Redd said to himself as he looked up at the side.
"Ahem, you might wanna pay attention." Mr. Grizz commanded.
"You're not just being a threat to the Squid Sisters, but other workers as well. Oh my cod. That's bad." Redd complimented.
"Roasted!" Callie whispered, only then to be shushed by Marie and Joel.
"You see, I cannot be a star on the Squid Bits without an audience. And besides... there's my people that... I want to protect." Redd continued.
"The egg basket is ready. Now go get me some Golden Eggs!" Mr. Grizz yelled, completely ignoring what Redd said.
"Heh heh heh! Ignorant as always, eh? But don't push me too far. There's something you're not ready for." Redd said as he smirked.
"Ooh, this is it." Marie said, mentally cheering.
"As any true fan would know, I was first interested in music when I saw the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook perform," Redd explained, "It was only after being the leader of the Squid Bits that I was more... true to my people. However! Not all those people are truly ready for everything we have to offer."
"Go get em, dude!" Joel whispered.
"Start this wave, and I'll be forced to show you... MY TRUE SELF!" Redd shouted.
"There's a Boss Salmonid incoming. DO YOUR JOB!" Mr. Grizz yelled.
"Fine then! Ready?! LET'S DO THIS THANG!" Redd screamed. He ripped off the Grizzco outfit and shows his Hero Suit, and Callie and Marie show their classic pop star clothes. Except Joel. He isn't an agent, but he shows a fresh outfit. Then, Redd grabs his Hero Shot, Callie grabs the Hero Roller, Marie grabs the Hero Charger, and Joel grabs the Hero Dualies from their pockets. And then, music begins to play as the Salmonids begin to surround them.
(Redd) I'm Redd of the Squid Bits
And I am here to say
With the power of Squidbeak, I stand in your way!
Saving our city from the crazy Salmonids, man,
Others failed to end this, but we know we can!
Real heroes never fear
Real heroes have no death
I will stand in your way until my final breath
I dedicate my life to upholding what's right
Take a bow, Salmonids...
(Joel) Get ready for the freshest night!
(Redd) Music, dancing, singing, I did bring
((Squid Sisters) We love it a lot, Redd! x2)
(Redd) But I will never let you destroy everything
((Squid Sisters) We love it a lot, Redd! x2)
(Redd) Unleashing all the power I can
((Squid Sisters) We love it a lot, Redd! x2)
(Redd) This is the final act for us, Salmonid fans!
((Squid Sisters) We love it a lot, Redd! x2)
(Redd) Raising my face to the sky
Giving me the Inkjet for the power to fly
Curtains rise, salvation I bring,
This war song I sing!
Will they all remember my face?
Can we escape this terrible place?
We must try, even though we may die
To protect our land of Inklings!
I'm Redd of the Squid Bits
And I am here to stay
I'll stand and fight here forever in your way
Come and stop us if you really think you can
I will not bow down to those dumb Salmonids, man!
Real heroes never fear
Real heroes have no death
I will stand in your way until my final breath
I dedicate my life to upholding what's right
Take a bow, Salmonids...
(Joel) Get ready for the freshest night!
(Redd) How do you think this will end?
((Squid Sisters) Come on now, get 'em, Redd! x2)
(Redd) After the continuous defeats of Inklings and friends
((Squid Sisters) Come on now, get 'em, Redd! x2)
(Redd) Your mindless march towards an ultimate goal
((Squid Sisters) Come on now, get 'em, Redd! x2)
(Redd) Are you even still the one who wants to be in control?
((Squid Sisters) Come on now, get 'em, Redd! x2)
(Redd) If this is the last we meet,
then I shall accept my defeat.
If it means my people are safe,
my people are free!
You must know that you are too late,
This one wave decides our fate
If you're annoying as a gnat with a desire to splat,
THEN YOU MUST GO THROUGH ME!
I'm Redd of the Squid Bits
And so let no one say:
I was a coward and I didn't save the day!
My friends try with all their might,
But we are doing what's right
Every second we're here, we saved another life.
Real heroes never fear
Real heroes have no death
I will stand in your way until my final breath
I dedicate my life to upholding what's right
Take a bow, Salmonids...
(Joel) Get ready for the freshest night!
(Redd) The end of our world, I face it with pride
((Squid Sisters) Exploding Splat Bomb, Redd! x2)
(Redd) If I've got the slimmest chance to stop this splatting genocide!
((Squid Sisters) Exploding Splat Bomb, Redd! x2)
(Redd) Our good dreams must prevail
((Squid Sisters) Exploding Splat Bomb, Redd! x2)
(Redd) So I shall stay here until the bitter end of our tale!
((Squid Sisters) Exploding Splat Bomb, Redd! x2)
Will they all remember my face?
Can we escape this terrible place?
We must try, even though we may die
To protect our land of Inklings!
Raising my face to the sky
Giving me the Inkjet for the power to fly
Curtains fall, salvation I bring,
This war song I sing...!
And thus, the song ends. Throughout the whole song playing, that groove was able to defeat the whole amount of surrounding Salmonids, which happened WAY more often then it should've. Every time someone got splatted, they would immediately get revived without any distractions. And plus, the egg quota: 100 Golden Eggs out of 20. That's a lot just for one wave!
Once the wave was over, the group cheered.
"You did it, Redd!" Callie exclaimed excitedly.
"That was a great song. You got the stuff!" Marie complimented.
"I'm proud of this, dude. We shall show this to the public some time!" Joel suggested.
"Maybe after a few months. I'm not ready for everyone to know I'm Agent 4 yet." Redd said with a sheepish laugh.
"CREW!" Mr. Grizz screamed. He was not happy one bit, as he saw all of what happened.
"Y-Yes, Mr. Grizz?" They all asked in a scared tone.
"Get back to the boat... NOW!" Mr. Grizz commanded. Without any disobedience, they all squid form and super jump to the boat, where a furious Mr. Grizz awaits them.
"What was that, Redd?! You just broke many laws here at Grizzco!" Mr. Grizz yelled. Currently, the Inkling group were back at the shop where Mr. Grizz was giving the talk to one of his best employees.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Grizz, but I had to do this." Redd said.
"No, you didn't. You could've still gotten through this without any problems!" Mr. Grizz exclaimed.
"You were being to hard on the Squid Sisters. Therefore, I had to make a song in order to keep our groove going." Redd protested.
"That wasn't even necessary! You had to listen to the Grizzco laws, not just betray them like a new employee who doesn't know much about this yet!" Mr. Grizz shouted. Redd began to rant about this.
"Not really, boss. I had to help the Squid Sisters get a good raise without too much hard work going on in them. If you didn't know yet, Marie is my girlfriend and I need to respect her, because if I don't, then you might as well just let us g-"
"SILENCE!" Mr. Grizz screamed, causing Redd to stop his rant and flinch from the outburst.
"I've made a final decision after what happened today. You're fired from Grizzco. Forever." Mr. Grizz said, finalizing his statement.
"W-What? You can't do that! I worked part of my life here, you can't take it away from me like that!" Redd exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, but it's to keep Grizzco in business. Now get out of here, and collect your final bonus on the way out." Mr. Grizz said. Redd just sighed, and then left.
"At least it was to save you two." Redd said as he looked at the Squid Sisters with a sad smile. Then he just leaves, and doesn't bother to look at Mr. Grizz. Joel followed him to offer some comfort.
"Squid Sisters, you're free to go. A new wave will come tomorrow, so make sure you're ready." Mr. Grizz continued as he chuckles a bit. Callie and Marie looked at each other with a sad face. They just saw Redd get fired from this job. They knew what they had to do.
"Mr. Grizz... if there's anyone who you should fire, it's us. We were supporting him all the way with the song, and we know we made you angry." Callie started.
"As much as I heard about the sketchy things this place does, you should have us be fired. Redd doesn't deserve any of that, so bring it back." Marie added.
Mr. Grizz thought for a minute before making a final decision.
Inkopolis Square. Redd just sat on a bench with a depressed look, and Joel was there with an arm around his friend.
"I know how hard it must be to lose a job like this." Joel said softly.
"Don't make this any harder..." Redd mumbled. Suddenly, Marie came to him.
"Mr. Grizz would like to talk to you." She said.
"Fine..." Redd replied.
"Should I come with you?" Joel asked.
"No, you can stay. We'll do some Turf Wars later on." Redd responded. Joel nods and then leaves to do this own thing.
Meanwhile, Redd and Marie walk into the Grizzco shop again where Callie and Mr. Grizz were waiting for them.
"You asked for me?" Redd asked.
"Have a seat, Redd." Mr. Grizz replied. The red Inkling just sits on the floor in front of his former boss.
"Listen, I have some more news after some thinking I've done." Mr. Grizz said.
"What's that?" Redd asked.
"I'm going to hire you back, but at a cost. You must never sing a song in a Grizzco job again, or you will lose the job again." Mr. Grizz replied. Redd got surprised by this, but then smiles.
"Thanks, Mr. Grizz. I promise I won't let you down." Redd said with a toothy grin.
"Now run along and do whatever you want. I'll see you back here tomorrow." Mr. Grizz said.
"Yes sir!" Redd exclaimed with a salute, then he walks out of the shop.
"Callie, Marie, you two are fired. Don't bother coming back. Collect your bonus on your way out." Mr. Grizz said with an angry tone.
"Understood." The cousins said in unison.
The Squid Sisters collect their bonus right next to the shop, and then they see Redd again as they kept walking.
"Did he fire you two?" Redd asked.
"Yes... but it was all worth it for you to keep this job." Marie replied. Redd was shocked by this.
"You convinced him to not fire me forever?" He asked again.
"Yeah. It was for a cost of us getting fired. We just didn't want you to lost your job." Callie responded.
"Thanks, girls." Redd thanked as he smiles. Marie leans closer to Redd, and gives him a nice kiss on the lips, which the red Inkling accepts. Callie meanwhile giggles, and sneakily take a picture with her squid phone. Apparently, Redd and Marie saw the snap at the last second, and they faced her with an angry look and a huge blush on their faces.
"DELETE IT RIGHT NOW, CALLIE!" Marie screamed as she chased Callie.
"NEVER! You two looked so cute!" Callie exclaimed.
"You're gonna PAY!" Redd shouted, as he follows Marie in the chase. And everything is all fine now.
A/N: Alright, that's done :D! Two things. 1: Yes, I am an Undertale fan. Deal with it. 2: I know this was late to be finished, but I needed to think of something XD. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and be sure to check out some of my other stories as well, and also my sister's! Stay Fresh y'all! :)
