Kareshi lid down on his bed with the picture of him and Iho in his grasp. As he staired at the picture, his squidphone made the DING noise that let him know that he recieved a text. He did not want to look at what it said. But he did and sure enough, it was a text from Agent One: Three, it's time to end this.

I'm on my way. He text back.

Kareshi then shot up from his bed and over to his closet. As he started to pack his hero gear into his backpack, he looked at the picture of him and Iho, then at his phone. He grabbed his phone and sent a text to Iho.

He tossed his squidphone back onto his bed before grabbing his bag, grabbing the picture of him and Iho and leaving for Cuttlefish's shack.

When he got to Cuttlefish's shack...

As Kareshi walked in, Agent Two spoke up. "Agent Three. You don't have to go down there if you don't want to. The three of us could-"

"No." Kareshi cut her off. "I got a tentacle to pick with Octavio."

"Are you sure? I don't think it's a good idea to go down there alone." Agent Two said.

"I'm gonna have to agree with Agent Two on this one. It's ten in the night and your going into Octo Valley to face off against Octavio." Agent One added.

"If I need help, I'll ask for it, Ok?" Kareshi asked as Agents One and Two nodded.

"Just... Be careful. Iho's waiting for you to get home." Agent One said before Kareshi nodded and left the shack.

Agents One and Two put on their headsets. As soon as Kareshi went through the kettle he said. "I don't think he notices this, but Octavio has the Great Zapfish near the kettle. I can take it, bring it back, go back in and get Cuttlefish."

"It's a trick!" Agents One and Two said at the same time.

"Nah, it can't be." Kareshi replied before walking over to the Great Zapfish.

As soon as he got to it, he heard Cap'n Cuttlefish yell out to him. "Agent Three! Stay back! It's a trap!"

"We told you." Agent Two said as Octavio came in and sucked up the Great Zapfish. He then started stairing daggers at Kareshi before taking out his wasabi sticks and playing his music.

Meanwhile, with Iho...

Heavy breathing and the sound of leaves and grass being crushed filled the forest as Iho zoomed through. As she ran, her phone vibrated. She pulled it out, and looked at it.

She had gotten a text message from Yujin that read: IHO!? ANSWER ME! Iho didn't answer. Instead, she put her phone back into her pocket and continued to run. "Oh my cod, Kareshi. Please don't be where I think you are. Please tell me this is just some messed up prank!" She pleaded as she came to the big rock octopus.

She then turned into an octopus and super jumped to the first boss kettle. She ran to Cuttlefish's shack before knocking on the door so hard, that she was surprised she didn't break it.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

She waited for a moment before doing it again.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Calm your tentacles, I'm coming!" She heard Agent Two call out from inside the shack. She then opened the door and said. "Oh, Iho. What-"

"Where is he!?" Iho screamed.

"Who?" Agent Two asked, trying to keep the clearly distressed octoling calm.

"The land dweller with a fake arm." Iho sarcastically replied. "Kareshi! Where is he!?"

"Oh... Yeah!... Heh heh, about that..." Agent Two said as she scratched the back of her neck.

Back with Kareshi...

"Rah! You slimy little hipster!" Octavio said before flying to another part of the stage. Agent One then started to cheer Agent Three on. "Go! Go! Agent-"

"WHAT!?" A loud scream downstairs cut her off.

"Uh... Who was that, Agent One?" Kareshi asked.

"I don't know. It might be-"

BANG!

Iho kicked the door open as Agent One jumped in fear.

"Whoa! What's going on over there!?" Kareshi asked.

"Kareshi!?" Iho asked through the headset.

"I... Iho?"

"Kareshi, please for the love of cod, tell me that is not Dj Octavio your fighting!"

"I'm not gonna lie to you, It is."

THUMP!

"Iho?"

"Oh great, she fainted." Agent Two explained as Kareshi shot one of Octavio's fist. "You focus on Octavio, we'll focus on Iho and trying to keep her calm when she gets up."

"Um, o-ok." Kareshi said before going back to attacking Octavio.

But as time went by, Octavio got harder and harder to handle, and eventually, Kareshi found himself in a terrible situation. Just as he hit Octavio with his own Octomissle, a stray Octotorpedo hit the ground next to him. Even though it didn't hit him, it did some real damage considering he lost his armour.

"Oh no!" Agent Two said. "What're we gonna do!?"

Iho -who got up about a minute ago- got on the computer and started to work. "What are you doing?" Agent One asked.

"I'm gonna weaken Octavio's power." She then looked over at them. "Now choose your favorite song."

Octavio laughed as he looked at Kareshi who was trying to stand but his injuries made it too difficult. He didn't want to try and turn into his squid form. "What's wrong Agent Three? Can't handle the Octo-"

"Radio override activate!" Agent One said as one of the Squid Sisters' songs started to play instead of the song Octavio was playing.

"That heavenly melody..." Cuttlefish said before breaking from the ropes the held him. "It has to be my grandsquids, the Squid Sisters!"

"Don't scare us like that again, gramps." Agent Two replied.

"Wait! So does that mean-" Agent One cut Iho off. "Yup." The two agents pulled off their disguises long enough to give her a wink. "Just don't tell anyone."

"Both mine and Kareshi's lips are shut." Iho replied.

While Octavio was trying to fix his music, Kareshi grinned before swimming to the launch pad and launching to another platform. "Hey Octavio!" Kareshi called out in a cocky tone. "Look how close I am to your precious Great Zapfish!"

"How the-"

"Recovery 101, Octavio." Kareshi cut him off before swimming farther down the stage.

"Kareshi?" Iho asked.

"Yeah?" Kareshi replied.

"Make sure you put a shot in there from me!"

"I'll make sure of it."

Agent Two looked at the map. "Agent One, Iho, look at this." The two looked looked at the map. "See that path that's about the width of a hallway?" Agent Two asked as Agent One and Iho nodded. "That would be the perfect place to finish off Octavio." She explained. "And Kareshi's leading him right into it."

"Got that gramps?" Agent One asked.

"Just a little further, Agent Three!" Cuttlefish called out as Kareshi shot Octavio's fist back at him.

"Grrr, enough playing! Time to finish you!" Octavio said as he charged up and shot everything he had at Kareshi.

"You know Octavio..." Kareshi said before shooting the first Octomissle. "You should watch who you call a "worthless hipster"..." He then shot the second Octomissle. "Because that "worthless hipster" might have a boyfriend." He then hit the third and final Octomissle.

"Now, Agent Three! Hit 'em with the final blow, bucko!" Cuttlefish said as Octavio flew from his machine.

"This... Is from Iho." Kareshi said before blasting Octavio.

As he hit his machine, Octavio thought about something. "Wait... Iho... Worthless hipsters..." He gasped. "Grrr, IHO!" He yelled before the machine exploded into orange ink.

Some time later...

The Great Zapfish put Octavio's snowglobe outside of Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack as Cap'n Cuttlefish and Kareshi walked in. "Iho? Callie? Marie? You girls here?" Kareshi asked as the trio zoomed downstairs. Kareshi and Iho hugged each other instantly. "Iho, I-"

SMACK!

"Don't scare me like that again!" Iho spoke up. "After I got your text, I started to freak out!"

"Iho, I'm- mmph!"

Iho cut him off with a kiss.

"Just... Promise me you won't give me another scare like that again."

Kareshi then hugged Iho. "I promise."

"Sorry to break the mood, but since we got the Great Zapfish back, me and Marie plan on celebrating all night." Callie explained. "So how about you party with us, Iho?" Marie asked.

"W-what!?" Iho asked. "I can't, I'm an octoling. They would splat me on sight."

"Well what if we told you that Agents One and Two could get you in?" Marie asked.

After the announcement that Inkopolis was going to party...

Kareshi and Iho met on the hill as the two held hands. "Iho, you look gorgeous." Kareshi said as the two cuddled and started to walk. "Thank you, Kareshi. Your looking very handsome if I do say so myself."

"Well, are you ready?"

"Yup." The two then super jumped back to Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack. They then went through the kettle to Inkopolis with Agents One and Two by their side.

When they got to Inkopolis, instantly a police officer -who where there for security reasons- noticed Iho, and just as he was about to yell at her to freeze, Agents One and Two stepped in front of her and passed the man a card.

"What the... Are you two sure?" The officer asked as the two agents nodded. The officer sighed before turning around and saying. "An elite octoling had entered Inkopolis, she's friendly." He then put card into a plastic holder attached to some fabric and slung it around Iho's neck, like a necklace.

Iho and Kareshi thanked the two agents before walking to Kareshi's apartment. When they opened up the door to Kareshi's apartment, his squad was waiting for them. "Hey Kareshi, ready to-" Miyu -the female with green tentacles and blue eyes- cut off when she saw Iho.

"K... K...Kareshi... W-why is there an octoling with you!?" Hina -who had blue tentacles and green eyes- asked.

"And who is she!?" Takumi added.

"Well, guys, this is Iho. Iho, this is Takumi, Miyu, and Hina." Kareshi pointed to each of his squad and Iho waved.

"That doesn't tell us who she is." Takumi replied.

"Well... She's my girlfriend." Kareshi explained as he held Iho's hand.

Everyone gasped.

"Kareshi! What on earth is-"

"Look, it's my love life, stay out of it." Kareshi cut him off.

"Let's just go to the party." Miyu said. "If he want's to go out with an octoling, it's his choice."

"Yeah, we'll let this slide." Hina added.

Takumi sighed. "Fine."

"Well, lets go." Iho said as everyone left the apartment.

In Inkopolis Plaza...

As the group of five walked into Inkopolis Plaza, they saw two trucks and Callie and Marie where dancing and singing on top of each truck. The group then started to dance.

Iho and Kareshi danced together while the others danced in a group.

When the song ended, Kareshi held Iho close to him and said. "I love you Iho."

Iho cupped Kareshi's cheek. "I love you too, Kareshi."

They staired into each other's eyes before their lips met.

The end.

Even though the story may be over, there is going to be one more chapter. What will it be about? You'll find out soon. Well, I hope you guys will enjoy the final chapter. It will probably clear up some things.
