Aria's POV

"AKKIE! AKKIE PLEASE! WAKE UP!" I shouted at her as I held her hand

I made water go onto her red blistering skin to remove the jellyfish cells. I grabbed the letter. I carried her and rushed to the lab as fast as I could. Everyone just stared at me when I kicked the door down.

"Chompie!" Connie ran over to us.

"Connie! Do something!" I cried out as I placed Akkie down

She quickly touched Chomp's neck and started crying. She started doing CPR on Chomp.

"Go get Marigo!" Connie shouted at us.

We scrambled out to get help or someone to do something. Soon, Mimi came back with Marigo, Robin, and Dylan.

"What's going on?!" Marigo asked.

"Chompie is dying!" Connie replied, "She got venom in her system. I'm losing her! Please help!"

Robin spent no time he poured vinegar all over her, and connected her to an IV drip.

"You keep doing CPR," Robin ordered, "What type of Jellyfish is it?"

"It was a Box Jellyfish." Erazor answered

"... you-... Forget it, that doesn't matter now" Robin took out an antivenom IV drip and connected to Chomp.

He stopped Connie for a bit and inserted the breathing tube down her throat. He put her finger into the clamp for the heart monitor. All of the lines were flat lines.

"Akkie… No..." I covered my mouth and fell on my butt.

"Dylan get the defibrillator" Robin pointed to his bag

"Got it!" Dylan got them and ran back.

"Okay get ready, until I say now… okay now!"

Dylan pressed the metal panels on her chest, and Chomp's body jumped. The lines were still flat, so they repeated this procedure for a while. Finally one of her heart started up again.

"It's beating again! Quickly, give her zinc gluconate," Dylan told Robin.

"What? What for?" Robin looked at him

"Just trust me!"

Robin pulled out an empty syringe and a vial. He shook the vial, extracted the liquid from it, and injected it into the inside of her arm. He stepped back and wiped his forehead.

"Alrighty, now we wait…" Robin glared at Marigo, "But before anything does anyone wanna explain what the INK is going on?! Why are there Octarians in the lab?!"

"Robin, they aren't our enemies they helped save Char." Marigo replied

"Well… if you say so…I guess you guys are the one who stripped me down to my boxers..."

"Hehehe… Sorry… " Erazor grinned, "We wanted to check on our friends

"Wait aren't you that Octoling that tortured Char in the first place?"

"Maybe… Hey I am on your side now. That better than me ripping you to shreds, right?"

"Errr noted"

A gurgle caught my attention. Chomp opened her eyes and we rush over to her. Robin removed the tube from her throat. She coughed and looked at us.

"What… Where am I?" Chomp weakly muttered

"CHOMPIEE!" Connie jumped and hugged her

"Akkie…" I was tearing up, "Thank goodness…"

"... Your... highness-"

I hugged her as tightly as I could. She just sighed and hugged me back. I just cried on her hoodie. I kissed her and she freaked out again. She was too tired to do anything else so she just let me. She turned bright red. I broke the kiss and looked at her. She just looked away and I took her hand.

"I… like cute things…" She muttered

"Huh?" I asked

"You asked about what I like… There I told you…. Happy?"

"Akkie… I am so happy!" I hugged her

"Okay… That's enough… Please stop…" She tried to pushed me off.

"Chomp, uh" Dylan stammered, "I'm um, glad you are okay…"

"You are? You sure are a strange person aren't you?" She smiled a bit

"Can I get a hug too?"

"And now you want a hug me? You are very weird. But all right…"

Dylan walked over and hugged her. Chomp hugged him back. He let her go and just smiled. A happy cried came from the room as Garden entered the room. He walked toward us and Wind darted at Chomp. Wind reverted into her tiny hatchling form and nuzzled her chest. Chomp held Wind in her arms and Wind wrapped her tiny tentacles around Chomp's arm. Wind swam into her hoodie pocket. She would peek out and hide back in there. Chomp soon fell asleep and Wind cuddled in her hoodie pocket. I happily watched her sleep for a while. I took out the letter and opened it up. The note read:

"Consider this a warning to you. If you do not surrender, all you know and love will be destroyed. Come to Octo Valley with the ancient creature to surrender by the third sunset or we will come find you and kill all your allies"

I crumpled the paper, and stood up. I couldn't let my friends get hurt. I sighed and walked outside. I took out my phone and dial the number.

"Hey we've got trouble." I told my friend

"Don't tell me, you want to keep this a secret from your Octopi friends, right?" he replied, "All right, I'll help. But umm, hey Aria? Since you are in Inkopolis… and you know how much of a BIG fan of Callie I am… Could you, um, get me an autograph?!"

"Well, I got it right here… How could I forget about you?"

I pulled the phone away as he fangirled and squealed.

"Well, ow. Hey, so I'll see you soon, okay? I need to get something for… someone."

"Well okay just come down here soon. Don't think they want me keeping the doors open for long. So make it quick."

"Alright, see you later Os"

I walked to a headgear store and picked out a cute black fish bone hairclip. I walked back to the lab and put it next to Akkie with a letter. I made sure nobody was around and kissed Akkie's forehead. I ran back outside and made my way to the pier. I jumped into the sea and dove in my octopus form into the depths.
