10 years later.
Jace woke up in his bed at the Splat Academy's fourth floor, which was dedicated to housing all of the squids who served in the Academy, next to Ora. Ora awoke soon after and smiled at him. They got up and got ready for a day of teaching, placing their wedding bands on their fingers with smiles.
Ora walked off to the weapon's range, ready to teach her class of squids next to the sniper range, where Pavyl was teaching his chargers. Jace's class was merely Master Tactics class.
The Academy had been expanded since the war for Inkopolis. Seven floors, not including a roof, were now on the Academy, and a full staff was employed to keep it up and running, and to teach the hundreds of squids who were being trained. Agent 3 was off somewhere at the surface, recruiting more for the programs, and Callie was running the Academy without Marie at her side (Marie was getting close to having her first baby, Agent 3 should be on his way back in order to see that happen.)
"Hey, Ivy." Jace told the black operation's teacher before walking into his classroom, "No more sneaking hot sauce into my sandwiches. If you do that again, I'll stop making lunch for the Academy's staff every saturday..."
Ivy smiled, "Fine, can't have everyone complaining that there's no more five star taco bar. Speaking of which, why doesn't Evan help you out with that anymore, he used to do that with you."
"Evan is too busy at his restaurant, I've heard that they hosted a luncheon for all the bands in Inkopolis there not too long ago, so he'd be too busy to come help us. I think he'll be here next week though, he doesn't like missing out on saturday tacos."
Ivy shrugged, then walked into her class. Jace walked into his.
"Rose, Delfinia, would you mind powering up the holographic maps?"
His two assistants complied, activating the high tech holo-deck of Sheldon's own design. A holographic map of Blackbelly skatepark appeared all around Jace, miniaturized for convenience. "Load up situation ten, please."
Four Squids with squiffers appeared at key points all over the map.
When his students walked in, Jace was sitting at his desk, reading over paperwork. "Please solve this problem as bellwork, I'll be with you shortly."
The students all looked up to him, Jace knew that, he was part of the great battle. It was said that he was the reason that the Inklings won, but Jace knew better, it was all of them. The Academy was a team, both then and now. The only difference now being that the team had expanded to become a true Academy, with hundreds of students working and training to be the best fighters on the planet.
Yes, the Octarians had attacked, multiple times even... but every time they had held them back. The Academy was thriving.
Jace shuffled through a couple more papers on his desk, then began discussing solutions with his students. Everything was at peace in the world. Absolutely everything.
