Author's Note: Hi! I'm really embarrassed to post this, and I don't like reading them, so I hadn't realized the formatting didn't stick in the last chapter. Sowwy. I think I fixed that now. Anyways, thank you for your reviews, and I'll take any suggestions into considerations. :3

Thanks for any and all support! (Oh, yeah, I guess there is swearing, but only if you're british. Eh, all my viewer traffic thus far has been American. I'm sure it's fine!)

One last thing. I have my story written out in my composition notebook IRL, and it has time skips. Should I stop at each time skip (I.E stopping when perspective switches to Team Blue in this chapter) or should I write multiple time skips/perspective changes per chapter? Please give me your thoughts!

"Another one?"

"Yes."

"Good. Throw him in that cell."

The same inkling who kidnapped Army had taken Mask as well. She threw him in the cell across from her captor's office, not even removing the ropes and gag she had on him. Army was in the cell on the right of Mask's. He had managed to remove the gag from his mouth, and was trying to figure out how to remove the ropes. On the right of his cell was Rider, wrapped up and gagged just like Army and Mask. However, when he'd been captured, there was another inkling already occupying the cell.

"Hello," she said. She'd removed her gag as well. "Ummm, this is gonna be awkward."

She leaned over to Rider and tore off his gag with her mouth. Rider was stunned for a moment.

"What's your name?" The inkling asked.

"Huh?" Rider had been staring off into space.

"What's your name?" She repeated.

"Rider," he replied. "Where are we?"

"We're in an underground compound," she replied. "Commander Tartar has us captured."

Rider was dumbfounded. Tartar? I thought Team Blue and Eight defeated him already!

With what happened in Octo Valley, Rider thought tartar had been destroyed. The maniacal phone was in the nils statue when it was destroyed.

"What's he planning to do with us?" Rider asked.

"I-I don't know," she said. "But I fear it has to do with that bloody sludge." she guessed.

Rider flinched when she mentioned the sludge. Though he'd never admit it and never acted upon it, he was slightly traumatized by the hijacking of his brain, and being forced to battle Team Blue and Eight. Let's hope if he's right, we can stop him. Rider thought grimly.

Rider realized he never asked her for her name.

"What's your name?"

"Oh - my name's Echo. Nice to meet you." Echo said.

Two weeks have passed since the disappearance of Army. Since then, Rider, Aloha - even Emperor - had gone missing. At this point, everyone in Inkopolis Square knew about it. Team Blue spent every day searching for them for at least an hour. So far, however, they'd had no such luck. Today, they searched over the outskirts of Inkopolis.

"What's this?" Headphones asked. She saw random bushes, and when she looked behind them, she found a large hole.

"Hmmm," Goggles muttered.

"I have a hunch they're there," Bobble Hat said. Without hesitation, she jumped into the hole, dragging Headphones in with her.

"Aaaaaah!" headphones cried, her scream getting quieter and quieter as they fell.

"Headphones!" Goggles exclaimed. He jumped down after them.

Specs sighed. He reluctantly followed them down the large, gaping hole.
