Interloper has said nothing about Chapter Two. We shall see how he reacts to Chapter Three.

Chapter Three

Fight for the Time Stone

(NSS Headquarters, Inkopolis Plaza)

In the old Squid Sisters' studio, which was still owned by them, the entire New Squidbeak Splatoon had

assembled to discuss their plan to face Cass. After filling everyone in, and introducing the new Agents,

Sarah sat down, and DJ Octavio, who was there because he was a target, spoke up. "If what you say is

true, then Cassandra already has an advantage against us. She already has two Stones, and may have a

third."

Clair held up the pendant containing the Soul Stone. Octavio sighed. "All right, we have three Stones

gathered here. I stand corrected." Sarah sighed. "However, we still don't know what the Soul Stone or

the Mind Stone do. Cass might not, either, but we still have a disadvantage. She probably knows where

the Reality Stone is and is on her way to it now." Clair looked thoughtful. Greg spoke up. "Agent 9, how

do you and Ten know Cass?" Clair faced him. "She's our sister."

He was surprised, but kept his thoughts to himself. Sarah spoke up. "Let's not talk about that right now.

What I would like to know is where can we find the keeper of the-?" A loud sound interrupted them.

Sarah sighed. "Agent3, Agent 4.5, Agent 7, and Agent 9, come with me. Everybody else, get Octavio and

the Mind Stone out of here." The four Agents ran outside to confront the source of the noise, and saw two

male Octolings standing before them.

One carried a charger in his hand, and the other had an eye patch over his left eye. The one with the eye

patch spoke. "Good morning. How are we all?" The four Agents made no reply. He continued. "I have a

proposition. Would you consider just giving us the Time and Soul Stones, in return for which we will

gladly not cause any damage to this magnificent-?" Agent 3 interrupted him. "I'm sorry, Inkopolis is

closed today. You'd better pack it up, and get outta here."

The Octoling faced Sarah. "Stonekeeper." She faced him. "Does this individual speak for you?" Sarah

smirked. "Certainly not. I speak for myself." She drew her Hero Brush. "You're trespassing in this city."

Otis drew his Hero Roller. Agent 3 spoke up again. "She means get lost, One-Eye." The Octoling sighed,

and faced his companion.

"She exhausts me..." The charger user patted his shoulder in consolation. "Bring me the Stone." The

charger user walked forward, ready for a fight." Agent 3 faced Scott. "Scotty, you want a piece?" He

faced her. "No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?" She nodded. "That's a boy." He started

grunting. "It's gonna be good to have you back, buddy."

He shushed her. "I need to concentrate." He continued grunting. Three sighed. "Dude, you're

embarrassing me in front of the kids..." He sighed. "I'm sorry. Either I can't or he won't." She sighed

again. "Okay, stand down." Facing Otis, she said, "Hey, keep an eye on him. Thank you." Otis nodded.

Scott sighed. "Damn it..." The charger Octoling rushed Three, who took out her Hero Inkzooka, and fired

at him, causing him to get knocked back.

Scott looked at her in amazement. "How did you do that?" She smirked at him. "I disabled my Limiter.

You like it? Something I've been-." She was hit by a charger shot, but quickly recovered. Facing Sarah,

she said, "You gotta get that Stone outta here." Sarah glared at her. "It stays with me." Three smirked.

"Exactly. Bye." She ran off towards the Octolings. Sarah stood her ground. Clair drew her Octo Shot, and

waited.

The Octolings clashed with Three for a bit, pinning her against the wall of a building, before being hit by a

shot of Ink. Three looked over, taking notice of the newcomer. "Hey, boys." The newcomer faced Three.

"What's up, Three?" The Agent faced the Octoling. "Eight, where'd you come from?" The Octoling grinned.

"A picnic with GUYVER!" She screamed the last part as the charger Octoling pushed her into a car. "Uh,

what is up with these guys, Three?"

She sighed. "Uh, apparently, they were banished from Octarian society. They came here to steal a couple

necklaces from Agent 4 and the newly recruited Agent 9." Neither Agent noticed that 'Eye' had gotten

away from that fight. He was facing Sarah, Otis, and Clair. Clair dodged a shot, before backflipping over a

car, and landing on the sidewalk nearby. Sarah looked at her in amazement. "How did you do that?!"

Clair brushed a hair tentacle from her face. "Practice."

She dodged an attack with grace, and Sarah lunged at the Octoling, who threw his weapon, and knocked

both Otis and Clair out. He pinned Sarah to a car, and gripped the pendant. His hand was instantly

burned. Sarah grinned up at him. "My grandpa put a little something over it. Only a Ligo can open it." He

glared at her. "Then I'll take it off your corpse." He threw her to the ground. She kicked him back, then

flexed her arms, preparing to use the Time Stone.

He threw a rope at that time, and it stopped her. She was tied up, and the pendant closed. As he pulled

her towards him, she hissed at him, "You'll find removing that little trick troublesome." He scowled at her.

"You'll only wish you were dead." He carried her away, sending a signal to his companion. Clair woke up,

and promptly pursued him.

Three and Eight both noticed 'Eye' carrying Sarah. Three faced her. "Eight, that's Four. Get on it." Eight

ran after her. Clair Splatted the charger user, and faced Three. "He has Sarah." Three nodded. "Eight's on

his tail." They followed his trail, and jumped onto the UFO that was preparing to take off. A hidden panel

smacked Clair, knocking her off the ship, and Three and Eight managed to slip inside.

Clair hit the ground hard, but got up, rubbing her arm. "Damn." Chloe ran over. "Are you okay?" Clair

sighed. "Other than a sore arm, yes. He took Sarah and the Time Stone. Three and Eight managed to get

on board, though." Chloe faced her. "Do you still have the Soul Stone?" She nodded. Chloe watched the

UFO take off, then remembered something. "Don't you have a speedboat?" Clair looked at Chloe,

grinning. "Yeah, I do."

Like I said, like the movie, with a few differences.
