Chapter 28: Escape 07: Spinal Phase
When Owen made it to the last phase in the company, she said, "Woah… look at this place. It's beautiful." "Technology lover? So is Marina," Pearl transmits. "That's the central elevator. The battery is in there," Marina transmits. "You can make it to the surface with this!" "Did you hear that?! You're almost out of there, Owen," Elliot transmits. "Yeah, but I can't leave without Terry and the Cap'n," said Owen. "Cap'n Cuttlefish's and Agent 3's signals are close," Marina transmits. "Alright! Let's roll!" Then Owen starts sliding towards the elevator to the elevator while Pearl transmits, "maybe they already made it to the surface?" "Could be possible." "I sure hope the captain and Agent 3 are OK…," Marina transmits. "Owen Eight! We're coming to get you in the chopper, so just wait up there with Cap, ok," Pearl transmits. "Ok, M. C. Princess," said Owen, gets on the elevator.
As the platform goes up, Owen finds that the platform she's on is a piece of the real elevator. "So, this is the real elevator. This place could use a feminine touch. It almost looks like an area," said Owen, as the elevator goes up. "The heli? You think we need it," Marina transmits. "There are only so many chances to use it. We can't let it go to waste," Pearl transmits. "Good point." "Thanks!" Then the elevator stops and Marina transmits, "huh? The elevator…" "It stopped," Pearl transmits. "Aw, come on! Owen was so close and yet so far," Elliot transmits. "You're telling me," said Owen, disappointed. Then Owen looks up and sees someone. "Who's up there," Pearl transmits. "Wait! That cape looks so familiar. Isn't that Terry….," said Owen. "That's Agent 3! But…," Marina transmits. Then Owen noticed Cap'n Cuttlefish is tied up; upside down on a floating platform. "GYAAAH! Agent 8? Help meeee," said Cap'n Cuttlefish, continues. Then Terry (Agent 3) turns and looks at Owen. Her eyes were glowing and had a strange glowing substance on the right side of her face. "Agent 3's mind was hijacked by that crazy phone!" "Terry! OMO! What did that phone did to you," said Owen. Then the Sanitized Terry super jumps her way down to battle Owen.
"Inkoming," Pearl transmits when Terry lands. "Agent 8! Get her before she gets you! Take down Agent 3, and get rid of that weird glowing goo on her head," said Cap'n Cuttlefish. "Are you serious? This is way too many specials!" "You have no choice, Owen! You got to fight her to free her," Elliot transmits. As Owen fights Terry, Owen said, "Terry! Snap out of it! This isn't you! Come on, girlfriend! You got to fight it! Remember your friends and which side you are on; the good side! I know you're still in there!" "Help….me…Can't…break…free…," said Terry, trying to break free from her mind-controlling goo on her. "She's about to come into her senses. Keep pushing it, Owen! I believe in you," Elliot transmits. As Owen continues to fight Terry, Owen said in her mind, "I will not let her be mind controlled like my people were. Must push forward!" "Please….set…..me….free," said Terry. "Now, Owen! Aim for the goo!" When Owen shoots the goo off of Terry, Terry is free and transform back to her old self. But she gets knocked out.
Owen goes to Terry to aid her as the elevator goes upwards. Owen gets on her knees and hold Terry in her arms. "At least you're finally free, Terry. Like Elliot and me," said Owen, hugs the out-conscious Agent 3(Terry). "Owen did it! Terry is free," Elliot transmits. "Well done, Agent 8," said Cap'n Cuttlefish. "It looks like Agent 3 is out cold…again. Will she attack you if she wakes up," Pearl transmits. "The goo is gone, so it's probably fine…," Marina transmits. "Untie me at once," said Cap'n Cuttlefish. "Ok, yeesh! Calm down, old man," said Owen, unties Cap'n Cuttlefish. When he gets free, the elevator stops to a long latter that goes to the top. And it shows an open hatch on the ceiling. "Hey! That's your tickets out of there! We're on our way, you three," Elliot transmits. "You got it," said Owen, carries Terry in her arms. Then Owen climbs the latter while carrying Terry on her shoulder. "Hey! Wait for me," said Cap'n Cuttlefish, climbs after them.
