"CARTER!" the little girl, Sophia scooped up Judd where Carter dropped him, came out of the ink, and ran to him. At the sight of Sophia, the Octarians began to shoot.

"AHHHH!" she yelped jumping and swimming away while the rest took the chance to throw bombs at the Octarians. Chloe, with her exchanged weapon, the Carbon Roller Deco, used her special and released five Seekers to which three of them hit. Being weak, the Octarians laid on the floor, struggling to get up, not before Silver took their dropped weapons and shot them.

The weapon that Silver picked up shot similarly to a Blaster, but it had a cold and dark feeling with it. It looked frightening compared to the decorated weapons that they used in battling.

Backing off to his friends, Silver dropped the cold weapon and raised his hands. "I had to. What else could I have done?" he immediately said.

"Y-you killed three people..." Sapphire stammered, grabbing his arm.

"Look... I had to. Would you rather me kill people in defense or be killed yourself?" he asked her looking into her eyes. Sapphire responded with silence.

"Everyone can come out now," Aiden called out in the plaza. Cautiously, many inklings appeared out of the silver ink, staring up at the midnight sky and coming to join Silver to keep defending. Chloe looked over to some inklings who were knelt over a dead boy.

"What about that inkling there?" Chloe pointed to the plaza.

Silver peered at his lifeless and unmoving body, blood mixing with the silver ink around him. "There's nothing we can do about that," he said, "but if we hurry, we can get this boy to the hospital." He pointed to Carter.

He looked at Hank. "Go to recon mode and pick Moray Towers. Carefully fall off the course, since the kettles don't seem to be working. But you gotta get out of the stage boundaries before the time for recon is over. The hospital is in the distance with the helipad on the top," he told him. Hank nodded quickly and took Carter in his arms, Sophia closely following them with Judd in her hands.

"Guys," he turned to the rest. "We need to go into the city and stop those Octarians with these weapons," he said, holding up the black pistol that he stole from the dead Octarian. "If those Octarians have discovered weapons like these, who knows what they'll do to the city."

"C'mon, it's no big deal," Clarisse interrupted. "I can just throw a Splat Bomb or something anytime. No one needs you to lead us," Clarisse said arrogantly.

"...You know what?" Silver walked up to her and glared at her. "Do you wanna get shot in the head like that inkling over there and die?" he questioned her. "Well, I guess you want to, since you really badly want to get out of here. That's fine with me. You can leave now."

Clarisse just stared there in silence. Still knowing he was a bad leader, she jumped off of the walkway and exited through the pothole to Octo Valley. Frank and Luke had disappointed faces, directed towards Silver, but not Clarisse. One by one, the two decided to follow Clarisse through the pothole, going to the Octarians' base. Only Sean, from their group was left. Aiden smiled and nodded at Sean for making a good choice. The people left were Silver, Sapphire, Aiden, Chloe, and Sean, and the other many inklings that teamed up for defense.

Silver sighed. "Everyone, gather any other inklings that are healthier from the lobby. We need as much force as we can." Ten inklings nodded and went back to the lobby to retrieve more people.

"Ready up and let's go," he said sternly as he led his friends and many other inklings outside the plaza gate.

Chloe whispered to Sapphire. "He seems pretty tough when bad things are going on."

"I-I don't know," Sapphire said, walking behind Silver. "We didn't have any friends in school in Takoroka, so we just stuck with each other."

"I still don't see how we never met, even though we went to the same school," Chloe said.

"Yeah..." Sapphire responded.

Minutes passed by as the big group walked through the city. Finally, everyone arrived at the scene.

"...This is it, guys. Here we are," Silver said to the group. They had arrived at one main street with many intersections. Throughout the street, there were splats of ink everywhere, along with hints of bullets through concrete and buildings. In the streets, there were no cars running. There was shooting from the octolings and the Octarians with their weapons and their ancient, deadly weapons. They were battling against many adult inklings that were from the city, the police, and any other Squids that already arrived from the other cities.

Once the Squids entered Inkopolis, they had been shot with stealthy octolings with the clear substance. From then, they couldn't be splatted and go back to a spawn, as how Sapphire could shoot Silver and he would reappear at his front door. They had tried their best to fight through, even with the pain each shot of ink gave them.

"Let's go help!" Silver said to their group as they rushed in to battle. Suddenly, the inkling next to Silver dropped dead, a bullet through his head. Looking up, Aiden saw an Octarian on a roof using a lengthy, scaring-looking weapon that had the same color as Silver's pistol. Seeing the dead inkling next to Silver, everyone hid in the silver ink. Aiden swam back out of the sniper's sight to go on a mission to splat him.

Soon enough, an octoling began to come their way, shooting the ground where the inklings were hiding. Silver had to shoot the octoling before he shot them. Fortunately, it was dark enough for a sniper to have a hard time seeing, so he took the chance.

Appearing out of the silver ink, he launched a Seeker, which effectively injured the octoling, making him stuck in the ink and wounded. Dipping back in the ink, Silver dodged a bullet from the sniper above. Shooting the wounded octoling eight more times completely killed him, and Silver had to hide again in the ink to dodge even more bullets. Looking above, he saw the sniper and Aiden sneaking up behind him. Aiden blasted him twice and stole his sniper away. Resting the end of the sniper on the Octarian, Aiden looked away and winced as he pulled the trigger. Aiden killed the Octarian sniper.

"Let's go! Now!" Silver called out, and the hidden squids reappeared out of their ink and began to charge forward. The inklings assisted the adult squids in battling with the Octarians.

The Octarians used weapons similar to the Squids, but were Octo themed, like the Roller. To Silver and Sapphire, the battle going on in the city seemed like a Turf War, but it was more brutal and more killing was involved than their regular ink battles. It was normal to shoot someone to splat them, but terrifying to shoot them until they completely die. But, it was something necessary, for the invisible ink was still on their bodies, even though they couldn't feel it.

Silver and Sapphire met in the middle of the ink-cloaked street. They were sweating and tired from fighting and killing.

"Silver, I don't want to do this anymore," she cried out. "It's too painful to watch myself kill someone!"

"Sapphire, it's gonna be okay," Silver hugged her tightly. "We just have to push back the rest and..." he stopped mid-sentence.

Behind Sapphire was an enormous group of octolings and Octarians. Their weapons were ready and set to kill. Their numbers were easily over the number of squids that have arrived to fight in Inkopolis. They were heading deeper into the city, but watching their backs as well.

"Everyone!" Silver shouted. "Fight the group as well as you can!" Silver sent out two Seekers and activated his Inkstrike. As the Inkstrike pushed the Octarians forward, they began to clash with the Squids.

Unfortunately, the because there were more Octarians than available Squids, the Squids were overpowered by the others.

"Retreat!" Silver's voice echoed through the street. Many adults and inklings began to run away back to Silver and the group. After seeing that they pushed back the Squids, the Octarians ignored them and pushed forward into the city, destroying it in the process. For safety, they went all the way back to the plaza.

"Aiden, Chloe, and Sean, help evacuate any citizens into the surrounding cities," Silver instructed. "Callie and Marie, you need to make a mandatory news announcement to evacuate, because this isn't going well." Aiden, Chloe, and Sean left the group, following the Octarians into the city to help aid others. Callie and Marie went back into the studio, Marie calling the Inkopolis News Time producer and Callie setting up the camera.

"Everyone can come with us to Octo Valley. Any tired inklings or adults can go heal in the tower," Silver said. With that said, many squids dragged themselves into Inkopolis Tower, where many inklings from the first battles of Splatfest were still recuperating.

Sighing, Silver and Sapphire entered the kettle to Octo Valley, where they had spent the first few weeks of their life in Inkopolis in. The older squids followed behind them, surprisingly having not have been in Octo Valley. Of all the people in Inkopolis that fateful day, the once alive Captain Cuttlefish chose two, fourteen-year-old inklings who just arrived in Inkopolis.

Two adult inklings, a male and female, barely sighted Silver and Sapphire entering into Octo Valley. These two were Silver's dad, Samuel, and Sapphire's mom, Susan. Recognizing their children from faraway, they filed into the pothole with all of the other fighters.


"Sir, they're entering into our territory, Silver and Sapphire!" an admin notified the leader

"...So, you were beaten in the Octo dimensional gateway?" the leader asked DJ Octavio.

DJ Octavio nodded silently.

"They probably will go there in search of us. We aren't there, anyway, so send two gunners with the ancient weapons. We'll be able to kill them on the spot," the leader suggested. The admin nodded and went away.

"Without Silver's leadership, we can proceed further into Inkopolis and all the cities and islands around it, capturing all of the land that rightly belongs to us," the leader declared.


Two lone inklings strolled through the dark and eerie place, staying close together. They had memories of this place. The place where they beat DJ Octavio a week ago. Now, he was free, and nowhere to be found. Silver and Sapphire stayed cautious as they advanced further into the world.

The remaining group members had split off and began searching each kettle. With coverage in each area of Octo Valley, Silver and Sapphire were left to go to the UFO with the kettle in the sky, and go to the unsettling place they had defeated DJ Octavio before. But this time, they were in search for him, a leader, or anyone who had a part in executing the surge into Inkopolis.

"Silver, do you think there really is something at the end of these platforms?" Sapphire asked him.

"...Well, there should be. Where else would something be?" Silver responded. Suddenly, they heard a faint sound coming from faraway.

The faint noise was crying and yelling. "Help! Someone help me!"

Picking up the pace, Silver and Sapphire advanced through to see what the noise was coming from. There, at the edge of a cliff of the platform was Clarisse, dangling off the side. She was grasping on to the ground's edge, which was the only thing near her. On the platforms laid the lifeless and bloody bodies of Frank and Luke. These were the trio that broke away from the group, deciding that they could take care of the Octarians themselves.

"Hello?! Is there anyone there?" Clarisse called out, her grip loosening on the edge.

"...It's Silver and Sapphire," Silver hesitated to answer.

"Please! Can you help me up?!" she pleaded.

"...But you said you didn't need us," Sapphire shot back.

"Well I was wrong just PULL ME UP, NOW!" she demanded.

Sighing, Silver left Sapphire and put his weapon on the ground. He knelt near the edge to see Clarisse holding onto the platform with one hand. Silver first took her other hand and began to pull her up, using the ground he didn't ink yet.

"AHHHH! SILVER!" Sapphire screamed from behind him. Hearing her troubled voice was enough to pull Clarisse up and release her onto the ground. Immediately, an arm was dangerously tightened around his neck, the muzzle, or the point, of a pistol pressed onto the side of his head. His heart dropped, seeing as he had a gun at his head, and that he saw Sapphire a few feet away from him, in the same situation. She had a look of dread on her face as she glanced up at the adult female Octoling that was pointing a pistol at her head. From the corner of his eye, he saw Clarisse hide behind a tiny mesa of elevated land, not bothering to help them.

"Finally, we have them. Now you will be no more!" the male Octarian choking Silver rested his finger on the trigger, about to pull it.

The next events happened all too fast and simultaneously. He saw a glimpse of Sapphire's mom fighting with the Octarian that was choking Sapphire when he saw a hand jerk the pistol away from his head. The trigger was pulled and the bullet was shot on the ground, less than an inch away from Silver's feet. Coughing, he turned around and saw his father, Samuel, fighting with the Octarian. Right before Silver tried to grab his gun on the floor and shoot the Octarian, the Octarian shot Silver's dad in the chest. A frozen expression of shock appeared on Samuel's face as he fell to the ground, dead.

"DAD!" Silver screamed. "NO!" The shooting of his dad was enough for him to pick up jerk the pistol out of the Octarian's hand and shoot him with his own weapon and the pistol. Silver kept shooting until the adult Octarian was completely dead, like Samuel.

Then, he remembered Sapphire's mom running in to help too. Immediately, he turned around, aiming the pistol and his .52 Gal Deco at the other female Octarian, but she was dead, crushed by Sapphire's roller.

And so was Sapphire's mom.

Silver's heart plummeted as he saw Sapphire kneeling over the dead body of her mom, weeping and crying. Silver ran over to her and gave her a hug. Crying even more, Sapphire rested her head under Silver's neck.

"...MOM!" she cried sorrowfully as the bodies of both Samuel and Susan laid on the silver ink, no longer alive. Without Silver and Sapphire knowing, Clarisse slipped away running away in fear of the Octarians, back to Inkopolis.


"UGHHH!" the Octarian leader yelled in frustration. "They were supposed to kill THEM, not their PARENTS!"

"...Take advantage over the situation. Send every available troops out. They're too distraught to fight back," DJ Octavio suggested.

"Okay," the leader said. "Release all the troops, now. This is a full-on invasion of Inkopolis," he notified an admin through his headset.


Not even giving Silver and Sapphire time to think about what happened, octolings and Octarian adults began to appear out of the ground, coming up as if the entire surface of the platforms were kettles. Acting quickly, Silver dragged his dad's body over to Sapphire and her mom's, and Silver and Sapphire hid in the ink. Not suspecting anything, the Octarian army passed by, ignoring the dead bodies.

After all the army passed, and everything was silent again, Silver and Sapphire reappeared out of the ink.

"We should have killed them there when they were passing by!" Sapphire said.

"No, they would have overpowered..." Silver stopped mid-sentence.

"...What's wrong, Silver?" Sapphire questioned.

"...They're heading for Inkopolis Tower, where all of the inklings are..." Silver murmured. Suddenly, he got into action. "Sapphire! Do you have any remaining beacons?!" Silver asked quickly.

"Oh yeah, I do!" Sapphire responded. "But do you think it will work when we're this far away?"

"We have to try something," he said taking Sapphire's hand. "Just squid jump us to your beacon!"

Glancing back, Silver and Sapphire looked at their dad and mom, respectively, for the last time, tears rolled down their cheeks as they jumped out of the Octo dimension.


After about thirty seconds of flying through the air, Silver and Sapphire landed on the raised walkway, startling Callie and Marie, who were emergency broadcasting in their studio. Sprinting, the two made it to the first floor of the lobby. They decided to go to the bottom first.

"Everyone!" Silver called the attention to him, seeing that many inklings were getting better. "The Octarians are invading Inkopolis. All we have to do is get everyone out of here. Cross the bridge to Kettle City and FireFin Town. From there you can seek refuge in the other islands. This is serious, now let's get going!"

Immediately, all the injured and well inklings began assisting each other up the elevators and stairs. It was only about fifteen minutes until the bottom two floors were cleared out. Sending the first few inklings of the first floor of the lobby out, Silver heard an explosion. Peeking out the door, he saw many Octarians and octolings rush forward out of the plaza into Inkopolis wielding the ancient weapons, all colored black or a camouflaged. Callie, Marie, and the shopkeepers began shooting from the elevated walkway, able to take out some of them. Then came out many octolings with weapons that looked like Splat Bombs, Suction Bombs, and Inkzookas.

Instead, these were Grenades, Sticky Bombs, and Rocket Launchers.

At that point Silver realized it was time to make a run for it, seeing that Callie, Marie, and the shopkeepers ran out of the plaza.

"RUN AND FIGHT!" Silver yelled to the rest of the remaining inklings as he grabbed Sapphire's hand and pulled her out of the lobby. As the exited the lobby, they began shooting or swinging at the octolings that started to shoot them. Silver glanced over at the rest of the octolings, having thrown Sticky Bombs on Inkopolis Tower, the one holding the Rocket Launcher, ready to shoot. He realized it wasn't worth it to take time to kill them and die from the explosion in the process.

Quickly spotting his silver and light-blue bike that he parked near the lobby hours ago before Splatfest started, he pulled Sapphire onto the backseat, started the engine, and began accelerating away. As they exited the plaza gate, an enormous, massive explosion shook the whole area, nearly knocking Silver off his bike. Sapphire looked back to see Inkopolis Tower crumbling to the ground, the Great Zapfish plummeting into the sharp debris. The explosion set off fires in the plaza that started to spread. She glanced at the many running and swimming pedestrians and Callie and Marie that they passed on their bike, thinking back to the many young inklings that probably died in the explosion of the lobby.

Sapphire held on tight to Silver as he leaned forward on his Mach Bike and sped through the ink-filled streets. Silver began to shoot randomly at the Octarian Army. His grip tightened around the handle bars as he sped away from the fire spreading from Inkopolis Plaza.

In less than thirty minutes, he and Sapphire got to the two bridges separated from each other in about a mile. In the middle was the unfinished construction of Hammerhead Bridge. These bridges were at the southernmost part of Inkopolis. The left bridge led to Kettle City, while the right bridge left to Firefin Town. They had arrived just as the evacuating refugees from Inkopolis started running across the mile-long bridges.

"Come on, let's go!" Sapphire said persistently as Silver came to a stop on his bike.

"No, we gotta help," Silver responded, parking his bike next to the entrance of Port Mackerel and running to the nearest gear depository system machine. There, he exchanged out his .52 Gal Deco with his Range Blaster Deco. Sapphire did the same, but she substituted her Krak-On Splat Roller with her Gold Dynamo Roller.

She flipped her silver hair back. "Okay, I'm ready."

The streetlights were still on, illuminating the darkness of early morning. The rays of the sun only peeked out from behind the horizon of the water. Aiden, Chloe, and Sean were leading many citizens with no weapons or defense across the bridges, Sean taking people to the right, thinner bridge to Firefin Town and Aiden and Chloe leading people to the left, wider bridge to Kettle City.

Up in the air, there were helicopters taking patients from the hospital to Zink Regional Airport. The helicopters left many at a time, since there was more than one hospital that had helipads. Even though Zink Regional Airport was regional, it was definitely not small, servicing Inkopolis and the cities surrounding it.

Many adults were still arriving from the bridge to fight, coming only to see fire in the distance and citizens retreating back to the islands. Realizing that everyone was evacuating, the adults and Silver and Sapphire decided to hold off the Octarians from bombarding the Squids transferring over to Kettle City and Firefin Town. If they had the chance, they could destroy the enormous Octarian army along with the people who searched through Octo Valley with Silver and Sapphire that returned.

Finally, they were joined by the Squid Sisters, the shopkeepers, and Spyke who had come running down a street. Behind them was only HALF of the Octarian army, which was still a large number of fighters.

"They're the right behind of us," Jelonzo said with his weird grammar. His statement lead Moe in Annie's hair to think he was talking about butts.

"They're right behind us," Moe corrected with a snicker.

"I does not care," Jelonzo responded.

"Of course you don't care YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME!" Moe yelled. Annie silently shot Jelonzo a look of apology. Jelonzo nodded in return.

"Hey squiddos!" Crusty Sean said in his jolly manner. "What's the plan?"

Callie, Marie, the shopkeepers, and Spyke looked to Silver, expecting an answer. This gave Silver time to think.

"...Annie go to one of the lower cranes on one of the sides of Port Mackerel. There, you can snipe the Octarians," Silver explained.

"...okay," Annie said in her small voice.

"Crusty Sean," Silver looked at him. "You're fast with the Dynamos, so just roller them from the top of a small building."

"Got it, squid," he replied.

"Jelonzo and Sheldon, you need to meet up with the mayors of each city and all the refugees," Silver said. "Then, just supply everyone with goods and start to make a backup plan if this doesn't work."

"On it," Sheldon said, following the Squids across the bridges along woth Jelonzo.

"Okay, um..." Silver said, looking back at the remaining people he hadn't assigned yet. "Callie and Marie, can you fight with us?"

"Awesome! I'll use my pun gun to shoot them with my puns until they get annoyed of my punniness!" Callie exclaimed, trying to be punny. Sapphire giggled.

"Callie..." Marie sighed heavily.

"...Oh, sorry..." Callie apologized. "I'll help in any way I can!"

"Spkye, just do what you do," Silver said, not really knowing Spyke that much.

"Sure, my love," he said as he disappeared into the streets.

"...HEY WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Moe suddenly yelled at Silver.

"...I don't know!" Silver yelled back at him. "Just chuck your bombs everywhere."

"HA! THEY'RE GONNA GET DEEZE BOMBS!" Moe exclaimed, jumping around in Annie's hair. Annie looked at him weirdly. "SHUT UP!" Moe yelled at Annie, which didn't make sense, because Annie didn't talk at all. Finally, with most of the others gone, the fighters left, Silver and Sapphire faced the crowd of defenders standing at the gates of the bridges. The first of the Octarian army could be seen arriving from the streets of Inkopolis.

"...Everyone!" Silver and Sapphire turned to the crowds and raised their voice. "Get ready! The Octarians are coming!" he said as he got into position behind the wall of a building, Sapphire and some other people going off to charge up their specials.

It was silent, everyone was hiding, ready for the Octarians to come. Then, they got closer to the bridges, and where everyone was hiding. Crusty Sean decided to give the first attack, running out to swing his roller. He stopped abruptly in his tracks.

Half of the Octarians had ink weapons.

The other half had the ancient, deadly weapons.

The fire spreading behind them, the Octarians began to charge at Crusty Sean. Not able to swim in ink, Crusty Sean ran back behind a building wall, bullets and ink shooting right past his feet. Callie and Marie decided to unleash their Bomb Rush and Killer Wail. Following the Squid Sisters, everyone else released the power of their special weapons at the Octarians, taking out almost half of the army.

After the specials wore out, the Squids looked to see about half of the Octarians standing behind their dead and injured fighters, aiming their guns at the Squids.

Everyone then realized, it was time to leave.

"GO, GO, GO!" Silver pointed to the two bridges way in the distance on either side of him. "IT'S NOT WORTH IT! JUST GO!" At his command, many adult and inkling fighters began to split to each side of the street, running and swimming to get to the bridges that were about half a mile away. Silver and Sapphire stayed behind to defend, dodging and killing every bullet and octoling that got near them.

Seeing that everyone was gone and had left to the other islands, Silver and Sapphire got on his motorbike and started driving to the bridge to Kettle City. Silver leaned forward to increase the speed he was going, and Sapphire held on tight to him again.

While they were speeding, they could see more of the city on their right catch in flames. On their left, they could see the small rays of the coming sunlight glitter on the dark ocean. The sky was still dark, casting nagging feeling on the two. In front of them to their left stood the bridge to Kettle City. Blinking beacons were set on the iron girders that built up the bridge.

From where they were, Silver and Sapphire could see silver ink and bombs flying from the squids. A ways in front of them stood a group of octolings shooting back, many of them holding tons of grenades, sticky bombs, and other explosives. Then, all at once, the octolings threw he explosives onto the bridge.

Loud explosions occurred. Silver and Sapphire covered their ears because of the loud noises. The debris of the bridge fell into the shallow water. Luckily, no squid was near the explosion to get hurt, but the problem was that Silver and Sapphire could no longer cross the bridge because of the large gap in the road.

The octolings turned to the side and saw the two. Immediately, they released fire and started to shoot. Silver turned around swiftly and started to speed the other way.

"Silver, what if the other bridge was bombed?!" Sapphire questioned him.

"That wouldn't be good," Silver sighed as he sped up even more.

A few miles down, they arrived at the other bridge. Its road was also destroyed by explosions. Right at the entrance was a group of menacing Octarian adults.

"Dammit, no!" Silver cursed as he drifted the back of his bike in the silver ink and sped back the other way, doing his best to dodge the ink and bullets.

Not even halfway back to the other bridge, the Octarian octoling group came marching down the street, their weapons in hand. Sapphire looked back from where they had just come from and saw the other Octarian adult group nearing them as well.

Right beside them was a caution sign, blocking off an unpaved road. The caution sign read, "Caution, uncompleted bridge. Do not cross." This was the road to Hammerhead Bridge.

"Silver, we can't go through there," Sapphire said to him. "There's no road!"

"But there's a thinner road," Silver responded quickly.

"No..." Sapphire's voice trailed off. "You're not saying we have to drive on the iron beams..."

"Well, that was my plan," Silver answered. The two groups of Octarians came closer.

"...Whatever, just go!" Sapphire yelled hesitantly. Silver drove his bike through the sign and began driving down the unpaved road. They could feel the bullets and the force of the explosions behind them.

In less than a minute, Silver arrived to where the road ended. Peering off the edge of the end of the road, he saw the dark waters below him. Cautiously, he centered his motorbike to cross the two-feet-wide beams of iron. Slowly, at first, he began to drive across the narrow girder. Sapphire glanced back to see the Octarians running carefully across the beams behind them.

"Silver! They're coming!" Sapphire yelled. She could feel his heartbeat when she held on tight to him. Finally, they got to the area designated for ink battles on Hammerhead Bridge. Increasing his speed on the wider ground, he drove over the malfunctioning kettle and began to cross the mesh bridges and the center to get to the other side.

At the other side, they were faced with another problem. Even though the girders were widening the nearer you got to the end, it was on a downwards slope. The rest of the unfinished bridge was directed to the beaches of Kettle city. Those beaches were empty and shady, because the other bridge from Inkopolis was above it. Behind the beach were cliffs, and on the cliffs was Kettle city. It's like Kettle City was built on an island that was a mesa.

Slowly but surely, Silver and Sapphire drove down the girders towards Kettle City. But because of their slow speed, The Octarians were able to catch up with them. Silver sped up dangerously as the Octarians began to throw explosives.

"Silver!" Sapphire yelled, for she was closer to the explosions. Silver sped up even more, struggling to keep his balance on the beam that about to fall because of the explosives thrown by the Octarians. Silver felt the beam below him dip down, and heard the deafening explosions behind him. Not caring anymore, he looked for the blue button on his dashboard. He punched it, and the bike took off at light speed towards the rocky cliffs and beach of Kettle City.

The front tire of his motorbike slipped off the edge just before Silver could see the grounded paved road to Kettle City. Sapphire yelled in fear as they fell off the beam through the air. Silver looked upwards to see Sapphire clutching on to him tightly, tears streaming down his face. The bridge construction collapsed into the water. Hints of a golden sky were seen, illuminated by the gleam of the rising sun. He could feel the air around his body as he fell to the ground.

These were the last things Silver saw before he completely blacked out.
