Charlotte finally reached the cells and all her loved ones were waiting in there. They let her into the one with Teuta and Erink and she ran to go hug her sister. She hugged Erink after.

"Guys, are you OK?" Charlotte asked, while checking their bodies for scratches and stuff.

"We're fine, Charlotte." Teuta laughed. She stopped laughing to focus on her sister. "Charlotte...? Are you OK? I mean are you and Octavio...?" She stopped upon seeing the same expression on her sister's face. "It's OK. Never mind. All that matters is that we're OK." She hugged her sister again.

"What's gonna happen to us now?" Erink asked. They stopped hugging. Charlotte shrugged.

"I don't know. They have tons of Zapfish, and probably have the Great Zapfish by now. We can't do much right now..." Charlotte said, grimly.

"We aren't gonna give up... are we?" Teuta asked. Charlotte shrugged and just sat down. She pulled her knees into her chest.

"The best we can do now is wait and think of a plan." They nodded and sat with Charlotte and began devising a plan.

Jr was pacing in his room. 'Is this what success feels like?' He thought. It left a bitter taste in his mouth. His heart felt heavy. He didn't want to be this way. Are Octarians always meant to be this way? Taking and trying to survive. Would things ever be different? Can Octarians and Inklings be friends? Lovers? These were the kind of thoughts rattling in his head. He turned on a screen to see what Charlotte and the others were doing. They were discussing a plan to escape and save Inkopolis. He wanted to help, but after what he did, how could they forgive him.

He thought about all the good times he had with them. Even though he didn't quite understand freshness, turf wars, ranked battles, their music, or hanging out at the Plaza, he still enjoyed every second of it. He liked being around others his age and just being a kid. He liked learning about their culture. He liked the sunlight and seeing the stars at night. What did he give it all up for? Why did he give it all up?

"I need to fix this..." he said. He turned on the intercom and spoke. "Charlotte. I need to speak with you."

She stared at the speaker in disbelief. "You expect me to talk to you after what you did? I refuse to talk to you." She turns her back to the speaker. Erink and Teuta exchanged looks of worry. Jr sighs.

"I can understand why you're mad at me. You're completely justified and I deserve it... If you're not willing to speak to me, please just listen." She remains silent, but he continues. "While we were at the carnival and the Octarian plan went into action, I didn't know about it. My dad was away for the week and I was under the impression that he would tell me when it was going into action when he got back. He didn't, and I'm sorry you and your friends had to go through that. If I had known I would've told you, but I didn't. My dad has also left again, which leaves me in charge again..."

She was indeed listening. "You sound sincere... But that doesn't excuse what you did after. You turned against us! You broke our trust! My trust!" He remained silent. "I want you to be honest... Tell me your true feelings. Tell us- tell me if we meant anything to you."

"In... In front of everyone?" he asked, surprised.

"Yes. In front of everyone." He remained silent. He sighed.

"Charlotte... I... Everyone... I'm... I'm sorry... I let my anger get the best of me and I shouldn't have. I almost hurt the people are care about the most. Erink you were probably the first guy friend I've ever had. I'm glad I got to share that 'man-to-man' time with you." Erink melted at that. He was so happy. "Teuta. I've always enjoyed your upbeat attitude. You made me feel welcome, even though I was totally out of place in Inkopolis." Teuta grinned widely at that.

"And Charlotte... What I felt for you... I can't really describe it... But, I want you to know that my feelings for you were true. Sincere. I can understand if you don't reciprocate my feelings after all this..." She's silent but she took the words to heart. "I'm sorry I broke your trust and I'm sorry I broke your heart. If it means anything to you, I'll let you go. The Zapfish are on the third floor in room 305. Bye, everyone. Bye Charlotte." He opens the cell doors and unlocks the Zapfish room. He cuts off communication with them and takes off his helmet. Charlotte managed to smile. They all exited the cells and met up with the Cap'n and the Squid Sisters.

"We'll take the Cap'n back to base. Can you three handle the Zapfish?" Callie asked.

"Can do!" Teuta said. They nod at them.

"Good luck." Marie said. And the with that, the two of them headed out of it their grandfather. Charlotte turns her attention to Erink and Teuta.

"Let's go get our Zapfish back." she said.

"What about Octavio?" Erink asked.

"He's not our focus right now. I'm sure he'll have to deal with heat with his dad when he returns. Let's just save the Zapfish." Charlotte responded. The three of them headed to the room where their fish were being held. Their weapons were also stored in the room alongside Octoling weapons, so they took them and began bursting the light bulbs and nabbing Zapfish. Once they collected all of them, they began making their way out. Jr watched as they left the building and Charlotte looked back when she was leaving. She stood there a few seconds before leaving. Now it was to await his dad's arrival.
