This story is only one chapter!
In this story, Agent 8 is female. This story is about the training I think octolings would have gone through. (While they were hypnotized)
If the text is italics it's a thought, if it's in bold its an A/N
"Shoot again!" The general ordered. "Make sure you hit the target this time!"
Agent 8 shook her head in confirmation and fired again, the splotch of paint flying across the room and missing the target.
The general angrily walked over and backhanded Eight across the head, knocking her to the ground.
"HIT THE DANG TARGET!" He screamed at her. He then turned toward the other Octolings, who were all shooting. And hitting the targets. "Let this serve as an example." He announced, "if you aren't cut out for our program, you aren't gonna be a part of it! I'm sending you off to another regiment."
Arms shaking, Eight tried to get up. 'Sir," Shecalled. "I promise! I promise I'll train until I'm stronger! I'll even train during the nighttime!"
Impressed by her determination, the general turned back to face her. "Deal. From this point on, you are only allowed to sleep two hours a day. The rest will be training."
Eight nodded and got up, hastily brushing the dirt off her skirt. "Yes, sir!"
Seven weeks later, 12:23 AM…
Eight fired off another shot, the large blob of ink joining the others at the center of the target. She quickly reloaded, a process completed by submerging herself in the ink at her feet. She got back up, switching back into her human form, then resumed firing her Charger.
Every single shot hit the target, and Eight was quickly flying up the ranks of her class. She went from rank 23rd, all the way to rank one.
Besides her marksmanship, her increased effort also increased her marks in strategy and tactical thinking.
"Number one!" The general called. "Come over here. I have something to say."
"Yes, sir!"
After Eight walked over to the general, he resumed talking. "Because you are number one in this class, I have an assignment for you."
My first assignment? Eight thought in amazement. This is going to be epic!
"Your goal is to board a chopper and fight a certain...threat to Octavio." The general smiled slowly. "Agent 3."
Eight paled. Didn't see take down Octavio? How am I supposed to take her down myself?
"You have five minutes to prepare, then you're going."
Eight grimanced and felt a tear form in her eye. I'm totally going to get killed
