"I could REALLY use some more data on this weapon. Can you use it for a bit?" Sheldon asked through the communication device as he gave Agent 4 the hero shot. Agent 4 highly doubted Sheldon really needed more data, since he had used it on every other level, but this was the final boss, so who was he to judge? Agent 4 went to the launch pad. As he was flying, Agent 4 heard the reassuring voice of Marie, also known as Agent 2, encouraging him as he went to face the last Octo Boss.
"Wait… Is that…?" The hesitance in Marie's voice made Agent 4 nervous, he looked in the middle of the stage, and saw a strange Inkling facing away from him. One with a bow in her tentacles and a stance that said "Back off!"
"CALLIE?!" Marie's yell snapped Agent 4 out of the trance he was in looking at the inkling. So this was Callie, half the reason Marie sent him on this quest, the other half of The Squid Sisters? Agent 4 did not expect her to look this… attractive… Callie turned to face him, she was wearing a pair of shades with patterns swirling on them, a black crop top that exposed her stomach, which had a tattoo of an octopus on it. Damn. Agent 4 thought, She's hot...
"I told you to leave..." Callie bellowed. Just the sound of her voice sent a shiver down the agent's spine.
"Callie… Why?" Marie seemed to understand that Agent 4 would have to fight Callie. Agent 4, on the other hand, wasn't sure if he could. This woman was terrifying.
"Now you leave me no choice… Prepare to be rocked!" Agent 4 wasn't sure what Callie was planning, but he knew it this fight wouldn't be easy.
"Hey, DJ!" As Callie threw her hands to the sky, the platform she was standing on started to shake. It was rising up, revealing that it was a giant, flying, stage/vehicle, powered by the great Zapfish. As the stage made a bellowing noise, Agent 4 focused on the octarian below Callie, surrounded by leeks and takoyaki.
"Octavio in da houuuuuuuse! Gyah ha ha! I remixed Callie's brain!"
"Time for our first song of the night: Bomb Rush Blush!"
"Time to drop the beatdown!"
"Spin it, DJ!"
A remix of the famous song, Bomb Rush Blush started playing, with Callie singing and DJ Octavio remixing the beat. The fight was on! Agent 4 immediately dodged to the side with his ink, too scared to stand and find out what Octavio was going to do. Octavio released a giant fist at Agent 4, who panicked and shot it with his Hero Shot. As it turned out, that was the right thing to do as the fist was sent back and collided with Octavio's machine.
"That's it, Agent 4! Show no mercy!" Marie congratulated as Agent 4 recovered. Agent 4 got ready to shoot the next fist Octavio was about to throw, but Sheldon quickly stopped him.
"Watch out for his spinning punches. They can't be bounced back!" No time to question how he knew that, Agent 4 had to quickly dodge the punch!
"Blushing faces covered in pink! Rushing bombs, exploding ink!" Callie sang as four splat bombs came from what Agent 4 had assumed were speakers. He quickly swam back, though not fast enough as his armor got broken. There were more punches thrown and more yelling from both sides, though Agent 4 couldn't focus on what they were saying anymore and also focus on not dying. Eventually, his armor repaired itself just as Octavio backed up and appeared to be charging.
"He's gonna hit you with his shower attack! Dodge to the side!" Agent 4 quickly heeded Marie's advice and swam for his life, just in time as Octavio barely missed him. After a few more punches, Octavio flew out of his machine and on to the floor.
"Octavio's exposed! This is your chance Agent 4!" Quickly changing his attention from the machine to the wriggling octarian on the floor, Agent 4 shot Octavio until he was completely covered in green ink. Though instead of splatting like Agent 4 expected him to, Octavio was ungracefully flung back into his machine.
"Hmph" Callie said as she slowly rocked back and forth. Apparently, having a giant octarian hitting your stage can knock off your balance.
"Callie! It's me. Your cousin Marie. Try to remember!" Marie yelled, trying to snap Callie out of her hypnotized state. Unfortunately, Callie wasn't impressed.
"DJ! DROP THAT WASABI BEAT!" Callie yelled at Octavio, who was now recovered from his collision.
"Gyah ha ha! Comin' with that hotness!"
"Don't hold back, Agent 4!" Marie said as if Agent 4 hadn't her earlier statement of "No mercy,"
"He's raising up!" Sure enough, Octavio and Callie started to fly a little higher than before, though this proved beneficial to Agent 4 as he now had more reaction time to shoot back or dodge from Octavio's punches. After just two punches, Octavio came back down and...
"Another Bomb Rush!" Marie said as two suction bombs shot out of the stage. Agent 4 easily dodged the two bombs, but was caught off guard when two more shot out… not swimming away in time to dodge them. Armor broken again, Agent 4 was forced on the defensive, dodging attacks and hiding in his ink. But, suddenly Agent 4 heard the noise of something flying out of the stage.
"Something's coming! Can you shoot it down?" Marie's shouting caused Agent 4 to look at the source of the noise. It turned out to be the takoyaki that were in front of DJ Octavio. Agent 4 shot them like Marie said and they were destroyed, but he couldn't get to all of them in time and some of them exploded into pillars of pink ink and tentacles. Which made him wonder what Octavio was making these takoyaki from, other octarians?
Ew, well at least he's not eating them, Agent 4 thought, Probably best not to think about it
Some more punches were thrown and sent back
"GRAAHK!"
"Agent 4! I'll be there soon. Hold out just a bit longer!"
Wait, Marie's coming? Agent 4 thought as he dodged another ink shower, Thank cod, I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold out on my own. More punches were shot and dodged, and takoyaki were shot, until Octavio flew out again.
"Octavio's down! It's all you, Agent 4!" Maire shouted. Already ahead of you, Marie, Agent 4 sarcastically, Try to keep up. Of course, he would never say that kind of thing to the pop star's face, but after dealing with her antics for the entire quest, he started to get a little sick of them. By the time he had finished his thought, he had mindlessly shooting Octavio, to the point where the octarian had been covered in his ink, and he went flying back into the stage. Suddenly, Bomb Rush Blush stopped playing, and a new song started playing. Wait, this is Marie's song! The Tide Goes Out! Agent 4 looked around for the source of the music, and Callie, seemingly as confused as him, did as well. Agent 4 saw a… a flying van? Oh, Sheldon's driving. Agent 4 observed, It's probably his, which explains a lot, considering how tech savvy that man is.
"I'm here! Hold on!" Marie shouted from the top of the van. She was wearing her popstar outfit, clearly here to perform. She also was armed with what looked like a modified Hero Charger, which she quickly used to shoot… Callie?! She missed! Agent 4 felt like screaming at her until he saw that Callie's shades got knocked off and he realised that Marie had shot her cousin on purpose
"AHHH!"
"NOOOOO! The hypnoshades!"
"YES! That was a direct hit with my special low-tide ink!"
"Unnhhh…"
"Now, Agent 4 While Callie is stunned! Make DJ Octavio pay!"
Agent 4 got ready to shoot some more fists, but was caught off guard by what Octavio did.
"Time to turn the tables! Spicy speed mode!" Octavio said as he dashed to the side.
"He's fast! Watch out for his dash punch!" Marie shouted as Agent 4 barely dodged the fist coming for him. Another Suction Bomb Rush came from the stage, but this time Agent 4 was prepared to dodge both parts of the rush.
"Agent 4, keep it up! I'm gonna sing from here!" Marie shouted. Agent 4 was kind of glad she stopped, since he could now focus solely on the battle, well, Callie was a bit distracting, but he could manage. After a few more punches, bomb rushes, and takoyaki pillars, Agent 4 was feeling that this "phase" was taking longer than the others.
"WAKE UP CALLIE!"
"Hhhuugh…"
After even more punches, Octavio finally flew out of his stage and onto the ground.
"Octavio's down! Get him, Agent 4!" After shooting him enough, Agent 4 was ready to collect the zapfish, since the other Octo Bosses took three splats to kill, but then something different happened.
"My… My head…"
"The low-tide ink is working!" Maire pulled out her radio and started playing the beat of The Squid Sisters' most famous song, Calamari Inkantation, "Callie! Remember! That heavenly melody!"
"The one and only… I… I remember..." Callie seemed to have a realization and jumped off Octavio's stage "YEAH!"
"THE SQUID SISTERS ARE BACK" Sheldon yelled as the united "Sisters" started to sing their song. Agent 4 was completely entranced, he had heard recordings of the inkantation, but it was a completely different experience to hear it live. He was so distracted, he almost didn't notice Sheldon's weapon drone flying towards him.
"Agent 4! I brought you a modded version of the Rainmaker! Hold down the trigger to build pressure, then release it to shoot an ink missile. Alright Agent 4, show me what you can do with that modified Rainmaker!" Sheldon yelled from his van.
"Rainmaker!" Octavio screamed and started flying higher, higher than he had before.
"Follow him, Agent 4! End this!" Marie said. Just as Agent 4 was wondering how to get up there, a launch pad appeared in the middle of the stage he was standing on. He used it to super-jump onto the grind rails above him.
"Hold the trigger to charge up the Rainmaker, and rain on Octavio's parade!" Sheldon said, in case Agent 4 had already forgotten how to use the new weapon. Octavio shot a fist at Agent 4, and that's when he realized how powerful the Modded Rainmaker felt, as it sent the fist back in one hit. Octavio then prepared a spinning punch.
"Agent 4! Jump to dodge the spinning punches!" Marie told him, though a little too late, as he didn't have enough time to process what she said before the fist reached him, and destroyed his armor again, though he knew how to dodge the rest of them. After a few more punches, he noticed that Octavio was dancing to the music.
"I CAN'T… RESIST THE GROOVE… ANY LONGER! Splat you, Squid Sisterrrrrrrs!"
Agent 4 shot more fists, until Octavio's stage flipped over and started falling. Another grind rail appeared closer to the middle.
"Agent 4! Head for Octavio from the inner ride rail!" Marie yelled as Agent 4 leaped to the middle grind rail and then to the last one, which went down.
"Now jump and hit him with the Rainmaker!" Agent 4 followed Marie's instructions and slammed the Rainmaker into the DJ's face like he was the Rainmaker goal. As he jumped away, he imagined the game banners that appeared at the end of a game.
"˙˙˙ʞɔɐɐɐɐɐɐɐlq oʇ ǝpɐɟ-ssoɹƆ ˙˙˙uᴉɐƃɐ ʇoN ˙˙˙ɥnפ"
Octavio's stage blew up into a sphere and then exploded, but Agent 4 was knocked out due to the resulting flying debri…
