"STOP! I'M THE ONE YOU WANT!" Dylan shouted at the Octoling.

The Octoling just stared at him as he removed his hood. She reached into her pocket and pulled out another Octoshot.

"Come here slowly." She pointed the Octoshot at Dylan

"You let her go first…"

"Do you honestly think you have any power to order me around?" She began crushing Char

"Okay, Okay! Just don't hurt her anymore… PLEASE!" Dylan walked over.

"I DON'T THINK SO!" Leon jumped at the Octoling and splattered blue ink at her.

The Octoling dove into her ink and disappear for a moment.

"Hey kid, are you okay?" Leon asked, "You go check on Char. I've got your back"

He smiled and kept watch on the area, just as soon as Dylan turned his back, a gust of wind past him. The shark leaped up at Leon and bit into him. It slammed him into the ground. The shark reverted back into the Octoling. She wiped her mouth of the blue ink.

"You are really annoying to capture…" She muttered walking towards Dylan,

"Y-you leave him a-alone!" I'm not done yet!" Leon slowly got up.

"Humph, I guess that warning wasn't enough… Fine." She dove into her ink again and a fin charged at him.

Dylan ran in front of Leon. Leon held on him and turned around to shield him. The shark bashed against Leon's back, sending the two tumbling the ground. Dylan landed on top of Leon.

"H-hey buddy… Are you… okay?" Leon asked as his arms fell to the ground, "I won't... last any longer… I'm sorry."

Dylan watched him quietly close his eyes. He desperately shook Leon. The Octoling walked over to him.

"This would have never happen if you didn't run away…" She replied.

Suddenly ink started firing at the Octoling. She dodged them. She fired back. Suddenly a giant purple umbrella monster attacked the Octoling. It wrapped around her body and sparked. She changed back into a shark and thrashed around.

"Wow she's a feisty one!" The umbrella monster cackled, "Stop squirming!"

"Dylan, are you okay?" Marigo ran over to him,

"Leon!" Jazzy gently lifted him up, "I told ya not to be crazy… Ya inking dork… Chizel! How's Char?!"

"She's pretty hurt… I'm not doctor, but pretty sure we rush them to the hospital."

"NO! YA DON'T SAY!"

"Hey, come on!"

"Hey, I think she's stopping" the umbrella monster replied

"Well from what I heard Sharks stop breathing if they can't move…" Pastelli suggested "Wait Acrilic! Quickly, get off of her!"

He released her and the Octoling was turning blue and not in a good way. She gasped for air and coughed. Callie and Marie handcuffed her.

"Do you know this violates our treaty?" Marie replied.

"You squids are one to talk… After all, that creature was in Octarian territory. You taking him away is considered stealing… Last I check THAT was a violation of our treaty!"

"What were you going to do with him?" Marigo demanded

"Why should I explain myself to you?"

"That's fine, you won't have to talk now, but you're coming with us"

"But first!" Acrilic walked up to the Octoling and pulled her hoodie off.

"ACRILIC!" Pastelli covered her mouth.

"What? Now, she can't turn into a shark…" Acrilic replied, "And she's wearing an undershirt…"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Pastelli stormed off.

"Wait come on, Pastelli!" He chased after her.

Marigo looked at the Octoling.

"You are rather thin… for an Octarian mercenary…" Marigo muttered to her

"I'm not one for money if that was what you were thinking… Not like should you really care though…"

After everyone settled down, they returned to the lab. Char and Leon rested in beds that were brought into Dylan's room. The Octoling's metal shark swam around the giant snow globe. Acrilic tapped at the glass to annoy the shark. Char began to stir. She sat up and cringed in pain.

"Char! Are you okay?" Dylan asked

"Where am I?" She muttered

"At the lab… " Marigo answered, "I have to apologize Char, I just didn't think the Octarians would send that thing to take Dylan."

The shark rolled her eyes at them. She just blew out some magenta bubbles as she sighed. Acrilic started making faces at the Octoling against the glass.

"She won't be bothering you anymore! She will be Dylan's new pet."

"If I can even live that long…" the shark muttered as she continued to swim in a circle, "Whatever, at least my suffering will finally end soon..."

"Suffering? Aww, don't be like that Sharkie!" Acrilic replied, "We aren't that bad…"

"Humph, I don't think you stupid Ink Rings understand what you have done… Especially YOU agent 3. Maybe instead of imprisoning our King and releasing him, you should have just nuked our cities and killed us all. We would have all been a better place by then. But you know what who cares? We are all going to die anyways. It won't be long now… It's has already started..."

"What's 'it'? What are you talking about?" Marigo asked,

"Nothing, you Ink rings would care about… Just leave me alone…"

"Will you stop swimming and explain yourself?!" Callie shouted at her

She just completely ignored her and continued swimming in a circle. Char looked over at Leon. He was sleeping comfortably in the other bed. Dylan walked up to the shark.

"Could you at least tell me what you were going to do with me?" He asked

"Please, I was hired to bring you back, unharmed. In fact, they told me to be nice to you. Whatever they wanted from you wasn't to harm you. You were our one chance at maybe surviving... Don't get me wrong; I could have easily killed you and your stupid squids. If I had enough energy to I would have killed them and dragged you back."
