Okay, we have reached the fourth area. What is waiting for us? Beyond more moments between Jax and Callie, who knows!? Let's get going!

"Huh, seems like the propellers move more stuff this time," Sammy noted.

"Gonna have to be quick Agent 4!" Marie warned. Jax didn't need to be told twice. He moved as fast as he could across the platforms before they went back into the wall. Falling didn't look like fun whatsoever. There were a few Octoballs to deal with, but Jax could handle them with ease.

"I'm kinda starting to agree with Callie," Jax said. Some of this stuff would make for some fun Turf War obstacles.

"I don't know how fun introducing Octarian tech to the public would be," Marie replied.

"Actually, a couple of my friends mentioned that they would have wanted to meet an Octoling," Jax admitted. "Albeit, just so they could test them in Turf War but I don't think a lot of Inklings care about that war anymore. I mean, I'm sure that we are still going to see some racism, but I think that things could change,"

"Hey, has anyone noticed those ugly goggles they are always wearing?" Callie asked. "You think those could be brainwashing them?"

"Callie, don't be ridiculous," Marie replied. "How many times do Sammy and I have to tell you that brainwashing isn't real!"

"Hey! With how evil DJ Octavio is, I'm sure he would make them real!" Sammy jumped in. Jax rolled his eyes as he splatted the last Octocopter, only for an Octobomber to spawn in.

"Ok, who ordered the extra large?!" Marie snapped. Jax laughed as he dealt with it.

"So, uh, could I ask you something?" Jax asked. "You know, now that I have your attention again."

"Ask away, Agent 4!" Sammy replied.

"Who exactly is this DJ Octavio guy?" Jax asked. "The name came up in school a few times, but not much about him,"

"To be honest...we don't know much about him either," Sammy admitted sheepishly. "Gramps never told us much about him. All he ever said was that Octavio was the Octarian leader during the war. But he never said anything about him being this evil."

"Huh," Jax said as he kept moving. He, however, didn't get very far before he found a very unwelcome surprise.

"Octolings! Two of 'em!" Callie cried out. These Octolings, however, looked a little different. Their tentacles were black instead of red and they had seaweed sticking out of their goggles. Jax quickly learned that they were tougher and stronger then the normal Octolings.

"Seems like DJ Octavio is stepping up his game now," Sammy noted gravely.

"Lucky me," Jax groaned.

"Oh! Isn't that an Octosniper?" Sammy asked once she saw a new enemy that Jax and Callie, who had wanted to tag along again, were going to have to face.

"Those things work just like chargers!" Marie exclaimed. "One blast and it's back to respawn!"

"Try to stay hidden, guys," Sammy replied.

"Sounds like a good plan to me," Jax replied. Thankfully, the Octosnipers were stupid and couldn't see most ripples in the ink, although it did try to splat the seekers Jax and Callie used to create ink paths for themselves.

"Those things freak me out!" Callie whisper-yelled.

"Yeah, I've always hated those Inklings that are snipers with their chargers," Jax admitted. "Do you and Marie play Turf War a lot?"

"Not that often. Sometimes when it's dark, we'll go out for a few rounds," Callie replied. "How about you?"

"Oh I play all the time!" Jax replied before going into bragging mode. "One time, I splatted the entire other team with one Instrike!"

"Really?" Callie asked.

"Yeah, my friends called me the Inkstrike king for a while," Jax replied.

"My best move when I was playing was splatting a guy attacking Marie with a jump swing," Callie admitted. "Nowhere near as cool as your move though,"

"I mean, I'm awful with rollers so…" Jax purposely trailed off. Callie laughed, which is what he wanted to hear. Beyond the fact it was so cute, he wanted to make sure she didn't stop. He didn't mean to embarrass her with his stunt. It was funny. For the longest time he thought Callie was way out of his range, but now?

Maybe he would try asking her out when this was all over.

"Spreader! Yikes!" Callie exclaimed. Jax groaned. He hated spreaders. While he still hated Flooders more, spreaders were a very close. They would cover all of his ink so freaking easily and the Octotroopers took full advantage of it.

"Stupid spreaders," Jax grumbled when he was sent back to the spawn.

"Seems like not all of Octo tech is fun, eh Agent 4?" Sammy teased.

"Shut up, not in the mode," Jax groaned as he started to make his way across. Of course these spreaders had to spin. "I swear, next mission better be an easy one."

"I spoke too soon," Jax groaned when he saw what he had to deal with next. Namely, several platforms that rotated.

"Oh, man up Agent 4!" Marie taunted.

"Would you do it without complaining?" Jax asked.

"Um…." Marie trailed off, causing Sammy and Callie to burst into laughter. "Oh both of you zip it! You wouldn't do it either!"

"Yeah, but you were the one making fun of Agent 4!" Sammy pointed out.

"She's got you there Marie," Callie pointed out.

"I need new sisters," Marie deadpanned. Jax struggled to keep focus from laughing so hard.

"Back to Bluefin Depot, I guess," Jax said to himself.

"Seems like it," Sammy replied. All three Squid Sisters had offered to come deal with the Octolings this time, which Jax had gladly accepted. After all, it would feel a bit more like a Turf War. The Octolings quickly jumped in. This time, there were a lot more ones with Seaweed on their heads.

"Halt! In the name of Lord Octavio!" One of them ordered.

"Sorry, no can do," Marie replied as she fired her charger, splatting the Octoling.

"Huh, I didn't think they could talk," Callie admitted.

"They probably just don't because they aren't supposed to," Sammy replied as she splatting an Octoling. However, an ink blast from one ended up knocking her helmet, exposing her face.

And species.

The Octolings just seemed to freeze. They stared at her and she stared back. Jax, Marie and Callie took the chance to splat them, but everyone had questions.

"How come they just froze when they saw you?" Jax asked.

"Why didn't they keep attacking?" Callie asked.

"It's like they just forgot about the rest of us," Marie noted.

"Well...it's not like they knew about me," Sammy pointed out. That seemed to pacify everyone, but they all had lingering doubts that something was up.

"Urchin Underpass time, I guess," Jax said as he arrived at the location of the next Octostriker.

"Unidentified Flying Object? More like Unwelcome Flying Object! Right?" Callie joked. Jax laughed while Sammy and Marie both groaned.

"Stick to random peanut butter craving, 'kay Cals?" Marie said.

"I have one right now!" Callie cried. Jax burst into laughter.

"Why does that somehow not surprise me?" Sammy deadpanned.

"Does this happen often?" Jax asked once he had a chance to catch his breath.

"Yep," Marie replied.

"Oh shut up! You and Sammy randomly crave random junk food!" Callie fired back.

"A lot of people get cravings like that," Jax pointed out.

"See! Lay off!" Callie whined. Jax laughed again.

"Okay, this should be the boss area…" Jax said, trailing off. He had a very bad feeling about everything right now.

"Where's the boss?" Sammy asked. A Zapfish was lower down, a tentacle grabbed it. The boss was a large fish with tons of fangs!

"What the heck is that thing!?" Jax exclaimed.

"It's the Octomaw!" Sammy cried. The Octomax swam under Jax and opened its mouth under him. Jax blasted away at the teeth, clearing a path out. After snapping its jaw shut, the Octomaw smiled at Jax, who blasted away more teeth before tossing a bomb inside, exposing the tentacle. Jax did that two more times, clearing out the final Octomachine.

"Holy mackerel pancakes, Agent 4! You are really good!" Callie cheered.

"I've seen better," Marie huffed.

"Agent 2, be nice," Sammy replied.

"If we keep this up, we'll find the Great Zapfish in no time!" Callie cheered.

"That's great and all, but don't forget about the cap'n!" Sammy pointed out.

Inside the Octarian Stronghold sat a lone figure. He had just watched the defeat of the Octomaw and he was enraged.

"Imma drop the beat so hard on that squid, he won't know what hit 'em!" He roared. However, he had other things to think about.

That human girl.

"Humans went outta style," He mumbled to himself. "That girl is from a different groove…."

DJ Octavio knows something is up, just not what. And speaking of him, next time, we bring Splatoon 1 to a close. See you then.
