-Author's Note-

Hi there. I just wanted to put a girlx girl warning (it's just kissing...). I don't know, better safe than sorry? Oh, if this chapter is violent enough to be rated M, let me know. Please don't flag me or whatever they do here. Just tell me and I'll go change it. Well happy reading! (I hope).


"CHAR!" I cried out as I ran to her.

Erazor laughed until his lookalike slashed at him. She made him focused on her. I held up Char's body. She was turning pale and her tentacles were losing their color. Her breathing was short and raspy. Aria walked up to me.

"She's dying…" She looked down at me, "To be honest… I never thought I would be saving my father's worst enemy…"

"Please save her!" I cried into Char's ripped clothing

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Erazor snarled and was about to hack Aria into pieces.

Chomp leaped out of the ground and bite into his side. She took a good chunk of him. He pushed her away. Chomp jumped at him and ripped off his arm. He smiled so widely and started hysterically laughing. His arm, claws, and tentacles grew longer and thinner. He dashed at blinding speed at Aria. The striped Octoling shielded her and Erazor's claws stopped inches from her head. She glared at him with tears in her eyes.

"WH-WHY?! Why do you mock me with her?..." He snarled as tears formed, "I want to kill you… but you look… just like her…"

"That was your first mistake…" Chomp leaped up and bite into him.

She dove back down and slammed him into the ground. She swam back into the ground. Erazor was covered in his own blue ink as it poured out from his wounds. He slowly stood back up. Chomp jumped up and changed back into her humanoid form. The teeth from her hoodie grew and fired into his body. He fell onto his knees as he quietly laughed. His ink pooled around him.

"Hahaha… why?... Couldn't I protect you?" His laughs turned into sobbing, "Heh, I am a pathetic fiance… I couldn't … do anything..."

"Erazor…" The striped Octoling pulled out her ring and showed it to him

"...Mimi…"

She gently laid him on his side and knelt beside him.

"I never wanted this to happen… It wasn't ever supposed to be this way…" she sobbed

"Mimi… I love you…" He pulled her for a hug

"Your majesty… Please… I know he attacked us, but I beg of you! Please don't let him die… He needs to know the truth…"

"Mimi, do what you gotta do." Aria replied, "I trust you, but just make sure he doesn't turn me into sashimi…"

"Y-your majesty! I am forever in your debt!"

"Just 'Aria' will be fine… and don't sweat it…"

"I guess I can help if you hold his claws for me…" Connie replied

"He touches a sucker on her head." Chomp glared at Mimi, "You both will be sashimi in my lunchbox tomorrow."

Aria stood there for a bit, but then the rings on tentacles glowed. Water started entering Char's bite wound. Tears flowed from her eyes. After a while, Char seemed to become limp in my arms. I started shaking her, but she didn't respond.

"Char? Char..." I held her closer to my body and cried into her shirt

"Dylan… You're hurting me…" Char weakly muttered

I looked at her as she looked up at me. I happily hugged her. She nuzzled her cheek into my shoulder. I fell back and winced a bit. I touched my side and my hand was covered in my blood.

"You're hurt..." Char muttered,

"I'm on it!" Connie ran up to me, "Huh red ink? I never seen that before…"

"It's not ink… ever heard of blood?"

"Blood? Yeah, ours matches the color of our ink… I'm pretty sure Inklings are the same. Well, all bandaged up. Your turn Char!"

"Wait... what about…. the others?" Char muttered

"Well I gave them first aid, but they and you probably need a hospital." Connie started wrapping Char's neck, "I can only keep you alive for a while. Without proper medicines and equipment I can't stop you from getting infected or bleeding out."

"Hey how are you? I haven't seen you in a long time..." Aria looked at Chomp.

"Well I guess I could be better…" Chomp muttered as she put her weapons into her pocket.

Aria walked up to Chomp and kissed her cheek. Chomp jumped like 5 feet into the air and turned bright red.

"WHATTHEINK?!" Chomp was covering her face, "ARIA!"

Aria winked and smiled as Chomp turned into a Shark and dove into the ground. Chomp leaped up at her. Aria pinched the armor's snout and Chomp's armor changed back into her hoodie. Aria took that opportunity to catch her and kissed her on the lips. Chomp was stunned for a while as she changed into a deeper shade of red. She started freaking out and pulled away from Aria. Chomp wiped her mouth and became so flustered.

"You are so cute when you are like this" Aria smiled

She pulled out her Octoshots and started firing at Aria. Aria dodged them and Chomp growled and kept attacking her. Chomp threw her Octoshot at Aria and knocked her down. Chomp stood before Aria and pointed at her with the other Octoshot. Aria smirked and tripped her. Chomp fell right on top of her.

"Gotcha" Aria smirked as Chomp brightly glowed red

Aria wrapped her arms around Chomp. Chomp struggled to get out of her grasps. Chomp was so embarrassed that she turned a new shade of red.

"LET GO OF-" Chomp roared, but interrupted by another kiss.

She stopped for a bit as her mind seem to be comprehending what is happening. She finally started struggling even harder to get out of the kiss. Chomp soon ran out of air and she fainted.

"Akkie?" Aria asked as she gently sat up with Chomp, "Oops, she fainted…"

"So that mean you love Chompie?" Connie asked Aria

"Maybe… or I just like to tease her"

Aria stood up carrying holding Chomp bridal style. She began walking but then stumbled.

"Aria!" Mimi ran to her, "You need to get back into the water… At this rate you will dehydrate…"

"Heh, yeah I was hoping to hold Akkie longer, but I am getting tired" Aria smiled and handed Chomp over to Mimi.

"Aroo?" Wind touched her antennae on Aria

"Whoa, is that a dragon?" Aria touched Wind head.

Wind happily scattered and when into Aria's body. A small raincloud formed above Aria's head and began raining.

"Huh, that's really convenient… Thanks dragon thingy" Aria stood up again

"What?" Mimi put her hand into the cloud, "Are you doing this?"

"No… That dragon thing is… I think"

A loud ringtone of a video game song echoed in the room. Everyone looked at Leon who was knocked out. Aria took Chomp back in her arms Mimi walked over and pulled out his phone.

"Hello?" She changed her voice into Leon's.

"WHERE THE INK IS EVERYONE?!" Marigo yelled at everyone, "LEON I WAS CALLING YOU AND EVERYONE FOR HOURS!"

"Umm, I had to… wash my tentacles?"

"...You aren't Leon… WHO IS THIS?!"

"Bye!" She hung up and threw his phone into the sea, "Opps."

Aria just snickered at Mimi. Connie pulled on Aria's coat.

"Your highness? You should come with us to Inkopolis. It's so much safer there" Connie looked up at her

"Inkopolis huh? I guess I haven't got a place to go… So sure why not?"

"Yay! Does this mean you and Chomp can have hatchlings?" Connie's eyes lit up

"Sure as many as you want us to have…" Aria winked,

"Oh I know she will be a good mommy! I can't wait!"

"If I may my liege." the hooded Octoling bowed, "I'll remain in the shadows and report from here."

"Understood, be safe." Aria patted his shoulder

"Naturally"

The hooded Octoling faded into the shadows. Wind cooed and reformed beside Aria. Connie jumped on to her back. I helped put everyone on to Wind's back. Wind noticed a squid cowering in the corner and she picked him up. Quil began freaking out until he passed out. She carried him by his shirt all the way home. After a while we got back to the Lab to see the familiar Octoling scientists, with Cauldern and Garden.

"Char! Everyone!" Marigo picked up Char.

"Hi… Marigo…" Char meekly responded

"YOU!" She pointed at Mimi

"I am SO SORRY! I just thought I could save them" Mimi replied

"Mimi that was risky… I understand that you loved him, but he was on their side."

"You… are wrong…" Erazor muttered, "Mimi…"

Mimi just turned away. Despite the amount of pain he was in, he wrapped his arm around her and hugged her back tightly.

"I AM SO SORRY I AM TERRIBLE!" He desperately cried out, "I WASN'T THINKING! PLEASE I LOVE YOU! PLEASE FORGIVE ME…"

"Don't touch me." Mimi tried to get him off, but he tightly held on to her

"MIMI! PLEASE UNDERSTAND I THOUGHT I LOST YOU! I WAS, I was angry, I was in absolute despair and anguish. I was lost without you… But I see… I love you enough to let you go… I'll go jump into the ocean …

Mimi quickly turned around and slapped him. She was quietly sobbing.

"YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" She screamed at him, and hugged him, "I LOVED YOU TOO BUT WHY DID YOU KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE?! YOU BECAME A MONSTER! YOU EVEN TORTURED AN INNOCENT SQUID! I WAS SO AFRAID THAT I LOST YOU!"

"Mimi… I made… you cry. I am truly a horrible person…But I never put a claw on any of those Octarians… Briar told the troops to attack everyone. My only goal was to kill agent 3… I didn't think I would be lied to..."

Mimi cried into his clothes. He looked at Char and she flinched. Aria collapsed onto the floor.

"Your highness!" Maggie help her up

"I don't feel too great," Aria muttered

"She need water! " Mimi looked around for some water.

"Here I got it!" Mary pulled Aria to a room and threw her into a tank full of water.

Marigo's eyes nearly popped out of her heads.

"YOU JUST-" Marigo covered her mouth

"She's fine…"

Aria changed into a large white Octopus with blue ring markings. She sank to the bottom and just curled her tentacles up. She looked a bit sleepy.

"It's a bit cold…" Aria gurgled as bubbles come from under her

"She's not splatting" Marigo looked at Aria, "How is this possible?"

"Well I am 90 percent water… instead of ink… My mother was the first octarian experiment. I guess I am lucky..."

Aria snuggled into her tentacles and fell asleep.

"What's wrong, Marigo" I asked

"Too much water isn't really good for Inklings or Octarians, so this is just unbelieveable."

"So this is water?" I climbed up on top,

"Dylan! Be careful!"

"Whoa!"

I fell in and accidentally woke up Aria. She looked up at me. She swam up, and helped me to the surface. Everyone was having a panic attack outside. Aria brought me to the edge so I can hold onto to it.

"Hmm well this is interesting… You didn't splat…" Aria climbed onto my head, "Could it be that you aren't an Octoling… or an Inkling?"

"DYLAN! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!? YOU NEARLY GAVE US A HEART ATTACK" Marigo pulled me out.

"Huh? " I looked at her, "What are you talking about?"

"We thought you would have drowned or popped or something!"

"Hmmm I don't know what he is but he sure is warm…" Aria curled up her tentacles and began softly snoring on my head.

"I apologize her majesty gets this way when she's tired," Mimi scratched her cheek, "She will just fall asleep when she's exhausted, and it doesn't matter where..."

"You guys seemed to have forgotten that we have dying squids" Connie was pulling on Jazzy's clothes

"Oh!" Marigo ran over and help Connie out with Jazzy, " What happened to them? You know what who cares. Leon..."

Marigo pulled all of them onto stretchers. Leon's heart rate started to drop as his breathing became more labored.

"His body is going into shock" Marigo bit her thumb, "I may need to get him to the hospital… but in his condition he may just die…."

"No..." I looked over at him.

"Leon and Char are the most serious conditions"

"They can't die!"

"I don't know what I can do for him…" Connie muttered, "There just aren't the right medical equipments here for something so serious"

"There must be something we can do!"

"How long can you keep him alive, Connie?" Marigo asked, "I'll get the paramedics"

"I guess for a while… but no guarantees"

We all waited anxiously as Connie did her best to keep Leon going. Soon sirens were heard and all the Octolings and Dylan put on their Inkling disguises. The paramedics came in and covered his mouth and nose with an oxygen mask. They connected him to an IV and a heart monitor. The monitor had three colored lines on it two of which had become flat lines.

"Two hearts are down… We need to get going before the main heart stresses out too much" one of the medics muttered.

They quickly got him into the ambulance and sped away, while another one took Char. I wanted to go with them, but Marigo stopped me.

"Dylan you are also hurt, so I can't let you go-"

"He's worried about his friends… Have a heart…" Aria muttered

"I-I-" Marigo sighed, "Very well, let's go"

"Heh, you should get out of those wet clothes first…"

Aria patted me on the head and jumped back into her tank of water. Connie came back with some clothes.

"Hey I was searching through your friend's bags and found clothes…" Connie handed them to me, "there's a note on it. Here, let me read it for you. 'Dear Dylan, I understand how you must feel. Here, Jazzy made some clothes and since you don't have any, I thought these would look nice on you. Even if we can't be friends, if you ever need anything just let us know. Just as equals. Chizel Marvbel"

"Chizel…" I held the clothes tightly to my chest and quickly put the clothes on.

"Hey, they look nice on you," Chizel smiled, "Take care now"

"Chizel? Are you okay?"

"Heh, are you worried about me? I am a bit ruffled up, but I'll be fine."

"Let's go Dylan!" Marigo called out to me

"We can talk later okay?" Chizel rested his head against the wall

I nodded and made my way to Marigo's van. We made our way to the hospital. Marigo had special access so they didn't question us at all. We made it into the ER. We watched from the window as the doctors worked on Leon's surgery. There were so many different sounds. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Until there was a loud flatline tone. The doctor began doing CPR on him. I felt my heart shatter as they started using defibrillator to restart his hearts. I was so scared and shocked. So much that I soon passed out from everything.
