Chapter 5: Deadly Dance Hall-Jump, Jump!
Tyler is in the middle of the mission and shouts in rage while jumping, "THIS IS NUTS AND DUMB!"
"Chillax, you only got 10 secs on its left," Owen said.
"Yeah, it's a piece of cake. But I'm glad I'm not doing it," Chris added.
"Agent 4, don't make him worse!" Captain Terry said.
"Inklings and Octolings are all the same!" Tyler yelled
When the timer ended, O.R.C.A. said, "Mission success!"
When Tyler comes out of the kettle, Sammy gets on his back and says, "(Sorry, I couldn't come with you. It's just I was so hungry, and then there was the Fuzzy Ooze.)."
"The Captain, Agents 4 and 8 had Power Eggs?"
"(Don't worry, they didn't bribe me with them. At least there is no more Fuzzy Ooze in our way except the one blocking the pipe to the next Site.)."
When the others came over, Owen said, "You can understand, Sammy? You know how to speak Salmonid Language?"
"I have been learning to communicate with them since childhood," Tyler replied.
"That is so cool," Captain Terry commented.
"Maybe you can teach us. I have so many questions to ask Sammy," said Chris.
"He's only five years old. So, he can't answer all of your questions," Tyler responded.
"So, you're good with kids?" Callie said curiously while blushing.
"That's so dreamy," Marie added.
"Thank you? Alright, ladies. Time to clear up the last of the Fuzzy Ooze," said Tyler, waking to where it was.
All the Agents stand before the Fuzzball as Tyler says, "Alright, Sammy. Are you ready? 1500 Power Eggs!"
"(Time to eat! Chomp! Chomp!)," Sammy said before being thrown and eating the Fuzzball.
But as soon as it's cleared up, a voice is heard saying, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"
As soon as everyone turned around, Callie said, "Who are you supposed to be?"
They see the three figures who then come out of the light to reveal them wearing their masks and look very familiar.
One of them said, "We're not SUPPOSED to be anything. But I'll tell you who we are!"
Taking off her mask and throwing it away, she winked and said, "Say it with sizzle… I'm Frye!"
The other one then replaces her mask with her fan, saying, "You think you're cool? Sharks call ME cold-blooded. But you can call me Shiver!"
The last one pushed his mask upward and said, "Ay! (Make money! Get fish quick!) Ay! (Big Man in the house!)."
Frye then continued, "The Splatlands are OUR turf."
Shiver added, "Only WE may loot here."
"Ay! (Yeah!)" Big Man agreed.
As Frye said, all three then go their signature poses, "We are…Deep Cut!"
"Deep Cut?! HERE?!" Tyler fantasized as Sammy constantly jumped with fangirling.
"Wow, so you can smile?" Captain Terry was surprised.
"That's the brightest look on him I've ever seen," Chris commented.
"Captain Terry was right on the phone; he is confusing," Owen added.
But five Agents soon turned to Callie as she said, "I…I love them."
Then Marie chimed in and said, "Whatever. What do you want, anyway? Wait… Did you say Deep Cut? The Deep Cut from that Anarchy Splatcast thing?"
Then Frye answered, "Yeah, it's called a day job. It would help if you looked into it. Banditing is our REAL passion. Nothing can stop us!"
"Hate to interrupt, Frye…but have you looked around? We've hit the jackpot! Who knew this was here? All this time…treasure was just sitting here under the Crater. Now it's ours for the taking," Shiver says.
"Ay! (Good eye, Shiver!)" said Big Man.
"WHAT?! Big Man, my favorite in Deep Cut?! Banditing?!" Tyler continued as Chris and Owen held onto his arms to prevent him from going near Deep Cut. "I knew Frye and Shiver were bad influences! How could you do such a thing?!"
"So…are you gonna try and stop us or what? Because you totally can't! We're taking all of it for ourselves. Hahahah!" Frye said.
As Shiver and Big Man laughed, Callie commented, "Wow, it's like they rehearsed this whole thing… They are total pros."
"Awww, they don't seem scared. What do you have to do to scare someone these days?!"
"Ay! (…I got a little bit scared.)." Big Man was trying to cheer her up.
After closing her fan, Shiver said, "Not that anyone asked, but I'm OVER this conversation. The treasure is ours. I'd wish you luck, but… I don't want to. Catch ya later!"
After Deep Cut posed, they smoke-bomb for them to disappear without a trace.
"I hope I get to fight them. I'll make Shiver and Frye pay for manipulating Big Man," said Tyler.
"It does seem he wants to be in it to me," Chris said before Owen shushed her.
"Come on, ladies. To the next site!"
"Uh, I'm the Captain here. I lead," said Captain Terry, opening the pipe up.
"Whatever. Let's go."
As the Agents headed into the pipe, Callie said, "Whee! It's like I'm right there with you, Agent 3!"
"To your right, you can see a mysterious fuzzy rocket in the distance. Huh, that's a new sentence," said Marie.
"Haha! Agent 2 made a rhyme," Owen teased.
"Executive M.C. Princess would've loved to hear that," Chris said.
"Executive M.C. Princess?" Tyler questioned.
"We have two workers part of the Finical Department of New Squidbeak Splatoon, M.C. Princess and DJ_Hyperfish."
"Will I get to meet them?"
"Who knows? They're always busy."
"We're almost there. Get ready!" Callie said.
Upon arriving at Cozy & Safe Factory, Marie said, "Hm. This second site has a lot going on, doesn't it?"
"Ugh! It's even messier than Future Utopia Island," Own disgusted.
"Look, girly. If you want to help and find Cuttlefish, cleaning, and fighting through these sights are the only ways to go," said Tyler.
"Whoa! Agent 3! I'm getting a strong reading from waaay up there!" said Callie, showing the Boss Kettle's signal.
"Could be Gramps. Let's go check it out!" Marie demanded.
"Alight then. Ladies…," said Tyler, looking at Captain Terry, Chris, and Owen.
After they nodded, they split up to get to work.
"I wonder how the hot .5 Pack is going?" Marie asks.
"Remember, Agent 3 is a guy. I'm sure the boys are fine," said Callie.
Back at Inkopolis, the .5 Pack was on the train when the intercom said, "Now, enter Inkopolis Plaza."
"This is it, boys. Let's get ready in case there's danger," said Taylor.
"Why isn't Prince Octavius and/or Owen dealing with this?" Corey asks.
"You know the Prince has duties to attend, and Owen just went to Splatsville to help out with Chris," said Elliott.
"How do you know that?"
"Prince Octavius told me."
The .5 Pack rolled out when the doors opened and took out their weapons to fight. But they noticed everything in Inkopolis Plaza was old, rusty, dusty, and broken. A barren wasteland and a ghost town.
"Wow, Inkopolis Plaza has really let itself go," Taylor commented.
"This Inkopolis Plaza? It needs a big makeover," said Chris.
"You can Owen for that. She knows how to make anything clean with a finger snap," said Elliott.
"Do you really think the strange Octolings would be around here?"
When army footsteps are heard, Taylor says, "I take that as a yes. Hide!"
The .5 Pack then hides behind some crates to see an army of Fuzzy Octolings coming to the center of the place.
"Woah! Those are strange indeed," Taylor whispered.
"But why would they come here of all places?" Chris questioned.
"It's best to learn more by more observance and stealthy approach," Elliot whispered before they all crawled to follow the troop.
