Inkadia, Houzuki Manor

Parking outside the snow covered mansion, both motorcycles are at the parking space as both inklings are marching inside the building.

"So this is Pearl's mansion, huh?" Rei asks.

"Indeed. And seeing it invaded is what sets her off." Marie sighs.

"Yeah. I can hear her screaming."

As the duo are walking through the corridor, leading them to stand in Pearl's living room which contains lots of posh furniture and a portrait of an inkling man who could possibly be Pearl's ancestor.

There's also a photo which shows Pearl, Emperor, Prince and Marina like a family of inkling siblings and an octoling that's been taken in.

"Emperor… Prince…" Rei whispers after knowing who they really are.

As Rei and Marie stop in the middle of the living room, they finally come across Callie and DJ Octavio on his new model of his Octobot.

"So, we finally meet again, Rei, Hotaru." Callie finally calls in inkling language, while calm.

"Aori…" Marie whispers.

"I had a talk with Aori. And she's not wrong. So in other words, you're actually Marie."

Marie gasps, hearing what Callie said earlier before starting her charge.

"Rei, I want you to face her alone."

"Eh? What about you?" Rei asked.

"Because I have something important to do."

Rei halts while checking a Hero Charger 0 that is about to start its charge.

Then she nods.

"Mama Aori. Tell me, do you hate us?" Rei asks.

"That's something for the real Aori to decide. DJ, let's go outside." Callie calls.

"Yeah. I hope yo girls are prepared, because I'm about to start mah beats!" DJ Octavio shouts with confidence.

"Heh. You never change much, Mr. Takowasa." Rei giggles.

"As you don't either, Rei. I think you're a better fit for Cap'n than this dried up old squid." DJ Octavio laughs.

"You mean gramps?" Rei, Callie and Marie asks.

"Yeah. And that way, you'll lead your kind to a better future. I was hopin' to promote Serika to lead the octarians once I retire." Said DJ Octavio.

"Yeah… I don't know if I could…" Rei scratches her head as she doesn't know about being the Captain.

"Enough with your banter, Octavio, let Aori go!" Marie orders in bitterness.

"I'll let her go, but I have a bonefish to pick with Rei, Agent 3." DJ Octavio chuckles.

"As I have to you, Takowasa." Rei pulls a smirk.

Afterwards, they entered a garden so large that it's a good use for a face-off between a hero and a villain.

"I met Agent 4 before and she's just that pathetic." Callie sighs.

"Hey. At least cut her some slack for trying." Rei calls out.

"Enough talk, let us fight! If I win, then… Then… Then Inkopolis is mine!" DJ Octavio snaps his tentacles, not knowing what he wants as an offer.

"Really?" Callie asks with disappointment.

"At least I'm tryin' to think!" DJ Octavio snaps.

Rei laughs as it stops DJ Octavio and Callie.

"Sorry! It's just that you're trying to take over Inkopolis, that's just weird!" Rei sighs as she wipes a tear and then smiles at her enemies with confidence. "Okay, if I win, then you'll give back the Great Zapfish, turn Mama Aori back to normal and help us stop Deepsea Metro."

"Hmph! Then it's a deal!" DJ Octavio can see the look on Rei's dead cyan eyes, knowing she's not done with this mess.

"Rei, show me how strong you've gotten!" Callie calls while pointing her Octo Roller at Rei.

"Yes, Mama." Rei, Agent 3, nods.

Then she's ready.

"DJ! DROP THE SPICY WASABI BEAT!" Callie yelled.

"Yeah! Prepare to meet your producer, Agent 3!" DJ Octavio yells.

Agent 3 is readying her Hero Shot 0 while crouching down.

"FIRE!" Callie booms, leading a fist to boost towards Agent 3.

"Heh." Agent 3 smirks and fires her Hero Shot 0 at a fist with ease.

That is until another appears behind her out of nowhere.

"Huh? AH!"Agent 3 shrieks while hastily dodging and dash forward with 2 fists moving like missiles.

Speaking of missiles, an octopus missile is charging as Agent 3 fires it with haste.

Then SPLASH!

"Dang it!" Agent 3 exclaims and dodges from both fists.

Then they're back.

"Hmph! You're quicker than I thought. I was expectin' a hit." DJ Octavio scoffs as he can tell that Agent 3 is not using Zero.

"I didn't expect you to be quick either!" Agent 3 exclaimed.

"Well, it's only just the beginning!" DJ Octavio booms and then fires both fists.

"TIDE GOES OUT BABY!" Callie cackles, leading Agent 3 to swap with Hero Dualies and fires instantly at both fists.

As much as Agent 3 tried to fight back and use her ammo and her bombs, she's still at a huge disadvantage.

"Ngh!"

"What's wrong, Agent 3? Givin' up!? All groovin' out?" DJ Octavio mockingly asks as Agent 3 picks herself up and pierces a glare at DJ Octavio.

"No… But you're worth the time to fight against!" Agent 3 pants as if it rarely happened to her before despite things being worse than Octavio's fight.

[Agent 3, I'm sending some backup. Captain Cuttlefish, Agent 3.4, 3.5, 4, 8, Serika, M.C. Princess and DJ Hyperfresh are coming to save Aori like you and Agent 2!] Sheldon's voice calls as it surprises Agent 3.

"Thanks, Sheldon…"

"GYAHAHAHA! Prepare to be splatted into smithereens, Agent 3! Even if I don't wanna do it to a fan, but your an exception!" DJ Octavio cackles.

"That's right! OCTOZONS! KILL HER!" Callie orders as the octoling girls are dancing with Callie and then dive towards Agent 3.

As Agent 3 closes her eyes, she can hear a sound soaring from the sky as if it's incoming.

"Die!" An octoling soldier yells until…

SPLASH!

"Huh?" Callie stops as she witnesses a yellow splashdown.

"What the fish!?" DJ Octavio exclaimed.

"Mirai?" Agent 3 gasps, witnessing Agent 4 standing as her magenta right arm is bubbling yellow as well as her hair and her eyes.

Even Agent 4 rolled up her right sleeve and was left with her coat opened, Agent 4 is ready to take back what's hers.

"I don't want to be weak… Please let me fight him, big sister." Agent 4 said with a cold tone.

"Big sister?" Agent 3 gasps after realising that Agent 4 looked up to her and wanted to be the one to share that burden with her, refusing to be a deadweight. "Okay… But don't kill them."

"I won't. But I'll cripple that octo freak!" Agent 4 chuckles.

"Good. Now I can sit this one out…" Agent 3 sighs while lying and resting to prepare again.

"Thanks, big sister. Now, DJ, get ready!"

"So you're that weak little brat that Callie was talkin' about. Aight then, SHOW ME WHAT YA GOT!" DJ Octavio booms.

"Bring it!"

[Agent 4? But why?] Agent 2's voice called in shock.

"I'm not the only one out there!" Agent 4 pulls a grin while spinning her Hero Dualies.

[What!?]

[That's right. We'll be the one to take action. You'll be focusing on bringing Aori back.] Agent 3.4's voice calls.

[Hai!] Agent 8's voice shouted.

[That's right! So let us deal with this guy and my little sister does the hero thing!] Agent 3.5 laughs.

[Hota-... Ahem! Agent 2, one chance, okay.] Serika's voice calls with a serious tone.

[Ngh… Why… Fine, make sure to stop him.] Agent 2 ordered.

"Roger!" Agent 3 and 4 replied after Agent 3 got up.

[Roger!] Agent 3.4, 3.5, 8 and Serika replied.

Then the battle begins in a white foggy area and a garden covered in ink and snow.

"Rookie, this is your chance to show Agent 2 what you're made of. Are you ready?" Agent 3 asks.

Agent 4 was actually surprised to see her own superior being more kind hearted and more supportive instead of being cold and harsh.

"Yeah."

Then both inkling girls yell while firing their yellow ink as Agent 3's ink changed from silver to yellow.

Then both morph into squids as a fist misses.

"What!?"

"Damn it, DJ! What are you doing!?" Callie snaps.

"I don't know! They're too fast!" DJ Octavio exclaimed.

DJ Octavio has a point as Rei was naturally the quickest one and Mirai has something on her arm that made her quicker.

Then both inkling girls fire as fists are constantly beating the machine up.

Then, DJ Octavio groans as he's dizzy.

"Useless! Looks like I'll do it myself!" Callie yells while firing a fist straight at Agent 4.

Then CRASH! Another fist hits itself.

"Ough… Eh?" Callie halts as she witnesses Agent 3.5 blocking his little sister, Agent 4, with his Hero Shot and then jump away.

"3.4! Serika!" Agent 3.5 yells.

Then both red lasers are charging as they splash onto a machine by staining it all in yellow ink.

"Nice shot, Rii." Serika laughs.

"Heh. You too Seri. But I'd rather you call me 3.4. Hachi, it's your turn." Agent 3.4 calls with a smirk.

[Mm.] Agent 8 calls and then dives down by smacking her Octo Roller 0 at the machine by releasing Callie and DJ Octavio.

Finally, both Agent 3 and 4 swing their legs and boots DJ Octavio back to his machine as he screams.

CRASH!

With DJ Octavio slowly picking himself up and grabbing both his wasabi, Callie hisses while pointing her Octo Roller as Agent 3 and 4 point their hero weapons at Callie.

"Callie…" Agent 4 grunts.

"Mama Aori, I want you to sing for us." Agent 3 pleads while keeping her cool.

"Sing? You mean Calamari Inkantation?" Callie asks.

"Yeah. For me and Mama Hotaru."

"Hotaru… Fine. I'll do it. DJ, play the Spicy Calamari Inkantaion." Callie clicks while preparing for a decisive battle between heroes and villains.

"Huh?" Both agents stop after Callie adds the 'Spicy' part.

"Ohoho! Yo gals are here for a treat!" DJ Octavio is hyped up for this as he plays the Spicy Calamari Inkantation.

[It's all up to you.] Serika called.

[So good luck!] Agent 3.5 cheers Agent 3 and 4 on.

Finally, Callie sings which signals both Agent 3 and 4 to dash forward and fire at the fists and the octarian army before super jumping on a grind rail that Sheldon conveniently installed.

As both agents are being cheered on, Agent 3.4 tosses a golden weapon by shouting her number, "Four!"

"What the?" Agent 4 raises an eyebrow out of confusion about a fish-like weapon she's carrying.

"The Rainmaker. One of the weapons that is rare. Use it to your advantage." Agent 3 pulls a sinister grin, ready to watch Agent 4 having her retribution.

"Yes, big sister."

Finally, Agent 4 is grinding as fast as she could while approaching DJ Octavio and Callie.

"EAT YELLOW!" Agent 4 yells while firing a charged ink until it explodes onto a fist that smacks DJ Octavio and a singing Callie.

"YOU! YOU HORRID LITTLE SQUIT!" DJ Octavio roars while firing more and more of his arms, only to be shot down by Agent 3's Hero Shot 0.

With the machine bowing apart DJ Octavio panics while trying his best to keep it running.

"C- CURSE YOU, SQUIDBEAK SPLATOON!"

"NOW!" Agent 3 shouts as she and Agent 4 spiral downwards towards DJ Octavio and grab the Rainmaker together while yelling as it's full on charge.

Then SPLASH!

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

With DJ Octavio yelling as he's being splatted to pieces, his body remains alive.

BOOM!

Finally, Pearl's garden is now covered in yellow ink while still foggy.

Now DJ Octavio and Callie are surrounded by Agent 3, 3.4, 3.5, 4, 8, Serika and arriving here are Agent 2 and Sheldon.

"D-... Damn it…" Callie grunts while slowly picking herself up from a collapsed machine.

"You lost Aori. Now you should come back to us." Agent 2 called as her charger finally charges at 100% with green rings floating around the centre of the turret.

But the problem is that it's going into overdrive.

"What?" Agent 3 gasps in shock.

"Oi, Two, let's just not fire at her." Agent 4 nervously chuckles.

"I have to." Agent 2 growled while pointing straight at Callie.

"Um, Agent 2, I recommend you fire at once." Sheldon agreed with the other agents.

"Wait." Agent 2 spat out.

"No, now. You know what's going to happen if you don't fire already." Agent 3.4 warns.

"It's too much!" Agent 3.5 exclaimed.

"What!? Hotaru, fire the damn thing!" Agent 3.4 shouted.

"You're crazy. Even if you're warned, you'll kill her!" Serika grunts.

Even Agent 2's finger is shaking as well as her arm before her eyes change green.

"Empress!?" Sheldon instantly pulls out his button until he gets booted to the flowers.

"Sheldon!" Agent 3.5 exclaims.

"Hotaru, you're just too slow. In the end, your cousin is nothing but green ink for the rest of her life." Empress turns back to Callie and points straight at her, only to hear Callie laughing. "What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing. Hotaru would never do such a thing to me. Even if she fires at me, it goes straight to my noggin without any ink hitting. I know you're trying to take Hotaru away from Aori." Callie pulls a smirk while holding her Octo Roller.

Empress realises that she's been surrounded like Callie, knowing she's about to kill what Agent 2 was trying to save.

"Her body is mine."

'Stop her!' Marie's voice calls.

Then BANG! An ink that is charging too much has caused an explosion as an ink fires like a bullet.

"C- Callie…" DJ Octavio groans while reaching his tentacles for the one who's doomed to die.

"NO!" Serika shrieks.

"MAMA! NOOOOOO!" Agent 3 screams while trying to rush towards Callie.

"HOTARU!" Agent 4 screams in fright, knowing she's about to end her own cousin's life.

After it fires, Agent 3.4, 3.5 and 8 grabs Marie's body and pins her down to the ground and Serika hastily points her Octo Charger 0 at a bullet.

Instantly, Callie gasps and blocks a bullet with a roller, but is pierced through by smashing a roller and luckily stops until it flashes.

"Oh carp."

With a light spreading, then…

SPLOOSH!

A circular ink has created a wave of green ink which alerts other inklings and octolings to change their ink colour until a loud BOOM and SPLASH has caused a massive destruction of a garden and DJ Octavio is being blown along with his destroyed machine.

It's like the world is ending in green, especially because it took all its victims with it.


Grunting in a white void with a purple door, Callie is now all alone with no one to talk to, no one to be friends with and no one to smile with.

But the only one with Callie is the real her, Aori, who was left unconscious.

"They're waiting for you, Aori. DJ, I served my purpose for you." Callie sighs and then marches forward towards the gate that contains a silhouette of a certain inkling she longed for.

Pulling a grin, Callie moves forward.

"Goodbye, Aori. I'm home, Marie."

In the end, Callie is now back as Aori again as Callie was freed from torture.

But what about those outside?
