The lower the buildings are, the easier they land down, leading the trio to the warehouse as Agent 1, 2 and 3 lands down on a hard floor while dripping green paint altogether.

"This is Agent 2, we made it into their territory. We're in their warehouse."

[Ah! Good, good! Now, all you have to do is to either hide or blend in.] Cap'n Cuttlefish's voice called through Agent 2's speakers.

"Hm?" Agent 3 turns behind as she finds a certain PC that is higher, leading her to climb onto a chair.

"Agent 3, what are you doing?" Agent 1 asks.

"Agent 1, check this out! I remember seeing one of those, except smaller!" Said Agent 3.

"That's a PC, we already saw it. But something that high up? That's unusual." Agent 1 then climbs up onto a chair as she witnesses a password entry. "Hm? It's written in a different language. Maybe gramps'll know about it."

"Really?" Agent 3 asked.

"Yeah. He's old, so he's got some knowledge about stuff like these." Agent 1 laughed.

As both Agent 1 and 3 laughed, Agent 2 whistled which caught both inkling girls' attention.

"They're here!" Agent 2 hissed.

"Wait, really?" Agent 1 gasped.

With both Agent 1 and 3 moving closer to the edge of the upper floor, the trio have witnessed a single inkling boy with a topknot being dragged while being surrounded by a group of octoling girls with their Octo Shot.

He appears in the same uniform as Rei which had both Agent 1 and 2 gasp with surprise.

"That's Agent 3? He's a survivor!?" Agent 1 gasps as Agent 2 targets the octolings while watching an inkling boy in peril.

The inkling himself whimpers as he fears for his life.

"P- Please! Don't shoot!"

"Oh we won't shoot ya. We want ya to fix this carp!" An octoling girl points down at a broken device as it's similar to something that comes from a turf war.

"Whuh?"

"That spawn point was destroyed by some ink for brains, and we thought ya squids are responsible for our high splat and death counts!" Another octoling shouted.

"H- Hold on a moment! I didn't destroy the spawn point! I thought you octolings did that to keep us from coming back!" The inkling boy exclaims.

"LIAR!" One octoling explodes a yell as the other one raises her arm and approaches an inkling who covers.

"Calm down. If that's true, then fix it as we requested." The calm one speaks out in a soft tone while

"Eh!? B- But I'm not an engineer! I can't fix that!"

With the inkling doomed for his inability to fix the spawn point, the octolings growl and hiss which led the one who requested raising her arm and ordering her team to point their Octo Shots.

"Tch! We have to do something!" Agent 1 hissed.

"Yeah. Agent 3, let's… Huh?" Agent 2 stops after seeing a missing inkling which had her gasping in high pitch.

"Wait! What is she doing!? Agent 1 hisses, witnessing Agent 3 approaching a horde without any warning.

Agent 1 turns on the speaker along with Agent 2.

[Hello?] Cap'n Cuttlefish's voice called.

"Gramps! It's Agent 3!" Agent 1 is still quiet in order to avoid attention.

"Agent 3 left her position and went ahead to the octarians!" Agent 2 hissed.

A laugh is coming from behind the speakers as Agent 1 and 2 worryingly holding out their weapons.

[Ohoho! You underestimate this youngin. Let her show you how fast she runs.]

"What!? B- But, gramps!" Agent 1 is quietly panicking.

"Agent 1. Let it happen." Agent 2 stops Agent 1 while pointing her Hero Charger directly at the octoling leader.

Agent 1 grunts as she fears Agent 3's short-lived moment of her life.

As for Agent 3…

Approaching a group of octolings with a cowering inkling, an octoling leader stops herself from throwing her arm down as she catches another inkling.

"Huh? Who the shell are ya?" An octoling leader asks.

"Hey! Sorry about that, I'm just here to say hello, but you want me to say my name? Sure! I'm Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and I'm here to patrol this city!"

"Ugh. Another agent. Splat her." The leader groans while letting her comrades point their weapons at Agent 3.

"Woah woah woah! I didn't mean to be rude!" Agent 3 raises both of her arms while surprised about being targeted.

"Well, ya are, so fish off and die!" One of the octoling curses.

"Wait. Ya look familiar. Do I know ya?" The octoling leader asked.

"Uhh… Not really." Agent 3 confirmed.

"Oh my cod! This is a waste of time! Can we splat her!?"

"Takaoka! I said wait!" The leader snapped. "So I see. So we just met, Agent 3, but hear me out. We have no spawn point and ya puttin' your own life at risk."

Agent 3 is ready to face a horde and then winks at an inkling boy who was cowering.

The inkling boy gasped as he saw the overconfidence in this girl, leading him to crawl while the octolings were distracted.

"Here lies another Agent 3: this time, death by retardation. I'm sure you'll be seein' other agents like ya…" Before the leader fires her Octo Charger, the octarian version of Hero Charger.

"Uh oh." Agent 3 is done as she's about to be splatted down by an octoling.

"In hell." The leader finishes her sentence and then.

BANG!

"Yikes!" Agent 3 exclaims as she moves in a split second.

The Octo Charger misses its quick fire.

"Huh!?" The octoling exclaimed as they witnessed Agent 3's reflexive dodge.

"What!?" Agent 1 and 2 had recognised her movement from earlier as they saw how quick she dodges.

"Hah!?" The inkling boy too is shocked.

"B- But how!? My Octo Charger never missed like that, it was shootin' straight towards that brat!" The leader growled.

"Oh boy." Agent 3 can tell that she angered the octolings. "So… Is that a no for patrolling?"

"FIRE!" One of the octoling roared which led all of them to raise their Octo Shot and fire rapidly.

As many pink paints are rocketing towards Agent 3, Agent 3 couldn't tell if they wanted to fight or did she provoke them.

"REI!" Agent 1 shrieks as Agent 2 starts to charge her Hero Charger out of desperation.

"Watch out!" The inkling boy yelled.

Surrounded by a bunch of pink paints, Agent 3 sighs.

Then…

"Woop! Woah! Hey! Yo!" Dodging with that many reflexes, Agent 3 then runs to her left and kicks the wall by doing a backflip over a bunch of pink paints and does the same to her right.

"WHAT!?" Agent 1 and 2, the inkling boy and a horde of octolings yelled as they witnessed the movement of a single inkling child.

"G- Gramps, are you seeing this!?" Agent 1 calls through the speaker as she and Agent 2 are flabbergasted.

[Haha! Like I said, don't underestimate this young lassie!] Cap'n Cuttlefish laughs as his idea is coming to a success.

Back to the octolings.

"WHAT THE SQUIT!? HOW!?" The loud octoling exclaims as she steps on the ground out of rage. "SHOOT HER! KEEP FIRING! DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!"

With many octolings panicking and firing nonstop, Agent 3 takes action by running on walls horizontally, leaping above all the octolings while pointing her Splattershot Jr down with a grin.

"Bang." Agent 3's Splattershot Jr fires at a single octoling, leading said octoling to scream while being covered in green paint.

Then SPLAT!

Agent 2 gasps as she lowers her Hero Charger. "Did she just…"

"Look!" Agent 1 points at the splattered paint that is spreading and covers some of the octolings.

The results on the octolings are not very pretty.

"GHAAAAAH!"

"It burns! IT BURNS!"

"I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!"

Many screams and cries from agonising pain had left the leader to freeze in shock.

Most of the octolings are pointing everywhere as fear is chilling up their spines.

"Everyone! Whatever you do, keep an eye out o-"

SPLAT!

The octoling girls scream and panic as they're being hunted down by a single squid.

SPLAT! SPLAT! And more SPLAT! And they came from those that touched the green paint as well as some being shot down.

"NOOOOO!" One octoling screamed as she's the next victim covered in green paint.

"Screw this! Imma swim outta here!" The other octoling paints the ground, morphs into an octopus and slithers her way out of this mess.

This resulted in some of the octolings screaming and retreating after coming to a realisation that Agent 3 is too fast and too difficult to handle.

What's left in this warehouse are dripping paints as well as some papers being tossed around and dust coming out with no fire, making this room more messier than before.

The leader is left standing all alone as she witnesses an inkling newbie beating a group of elites.

"That doesn't make any sense. Wh- What are ya?"

"Me? I'm just Agent 3. So, you don't want me to patrol the city?" Agent 3 asks as she morphs back into a human form of an inkling.

The octoling clenches her teeth as she pierces a glare at Agent 3, realising that this braindead girl is going to be one of the rare few that made it out alive.

"Tch! You can patrol whatever ya want! But mark my words, you'll never reach our boss! Ya hear me! We will meet again, Agent 3!" The leader morphs herself into a pink octopus and then jets her way out of the warehouse.

In the end a green paint filled room is now left with Agent 3 winning her second battle and her first battle against the octarians.

"Huh." Agent 3 was expecting the octolings to come back and pick up a fight.

"Agent 3! You did it!" Agent 1 appears as she hugs Agent 3, bouncing and laughing with excitement which also made Agent 3 laugh.

"Well… Colour me surprised. You're outnumbered earlier, almost got splatted and now you beat them without any hesitation. I'm impressed." Agent 2 approaches Agent 3 after clearing her throat.

As Agent 3 giggled after being praised, an inkling boy made sounds of footsteps while approaching a trio of inkling girls.

"U- Um… You're another agent, right?" An inkling boy asked.

"Ah! It is you! Thank the squids you're okay!" Agent 1 leaps off of Agent 3 and then embraces an inkling boy.

"Ah, Agent 1! Agent 2! You really came back for me!" The inkling boy rejoices after being saved by his superiors.

He halts as he catches a glimpse of a young inkling girl who appears to be under the age of 14.

"Excuse me kid, what's your name? I mean your real name?" The inkling boy stands in front of Agent 3 as he's curious to know about the little speedster.

"Hm! I'm Rei! And I'm working here to get paid! Also Agent 1 and 2 are my mamas!" Rei answered.

"What?" The inkling boy halts as he's confused about Agent 3 and Agent 1 and 2 being her parents.

Agent 2 sighs as Agent 1 scratches the back of her neck as she's about to open her mouth. "Yeah… The truth is…"

With Agent 1 and 2 explaining the whole turmoil with a young inkling and her life that's leading up to the present.

The inkling boy is silent while shocked about the inkling girl's home life.

"You're squidding? I- I didn't know she's been living through hardship."

"I know, but she might be a problem child if we don't raise her properly." Agent 1 said, watching Agent 3 wandering around the warehouse as she's humming a tune.

"I'm sure she's happy being with you." The inkling boy then smiles, knowing he's around Agent 1, 2 and 3.

"Yeah. Oi, Agent 3." Agent 2 calls as Agent 3 arrives.

"Yeah? What is it?" Agent 3 asked.

"Since you introduced yourself, let the boy introduce himself as well."

"Okay." Agent 3 obediently sits down and listens as the inkling boy clears his throat.

"I am Daigo. I've been working for the New Squidbeak Splatoon for five months. I'm sure we'll work together, Rei." Daigo raises his arm as he's glad to work with Agent 3, Rei.

"Sure! Let's do our best, Dai!"

"Dai? Hehe, you're really nice. I was expecting another scarier inkling, but luckily, you're not." Daigo sighed as he laughed.

"Rawr! Haha!" Rei is enjoying herself while meeting a fellow Agent 3.

Agent 1 and 2 are glad to see both Agent 3 getting along with each other then look at a destroyed spawn point which led them to be worried.

Finally both Agent 1 and 2 nod as they're about to continue their undercover mission along with Agent 3 and the returned one.

Unidentified Area

In a room full of TVs, the room is barely visible as an octopus in a large kabuto looking helmet (like a shogun) is drinking his smoothie while watching one of the TV shows.

A splashing noise has caught his attention as he sees an octoling leader looking like she's seen a ghost.

"B- Boss!"

"Hm? Serika? What's goin' on?" The octopus asked.

"It's about my team! They're…"

"C'mon! Spill it out!" The octopus is waiting for the response.

"They're splatted by an inkling! They're murdered by a single inkling…" The leader, Serika, is holding in her anger after explaining to her boss the situation.

"What!? That can't be true!"

Typing on the keyboard and changing one of the TV channels, he comes across a massacre as he witnesses an inkling splatting a horde while hiding under her own paint.

"No… No! NOOOOOOOOOOO! CURSE YOU, ATARIME YOSHIO!" Banging on the desk, the octopus boss is enraged after seeing his fellow octarians being splatted down by a single inkling with a basic weapon.

After banging the desk, a photo was dropped to the floor which looks similar to Cap'n Cuttlefish's photo; a photo of his humanoid form and Cap'n Cuttlefish.

There won't be just octolings sent out as he will send the octarian army out to capture Agent 3.
