Gamelover41592: Thanks

Matt (Guest): I'm fine.

Okay, so I can't keep an update schedule without school. Who knew? Anyways, time for the final piece to fall into place for Splatoon 2 to begin. We have jumped ahead another year. Sammy is 17. Let's get going!

Sammy still had trouble believing just how much had changed in the past two years. Beyond more and more Octolings appearing, the sisters themselves had begun to take on new activities. Callie got into acting and blogging, while Marie and Sammy preferred keeping to themselves for the most part. All three had also written and performed a solo song. While Sammy was proud of Fresh Start, she felt like something was missing. Namely, her two sisters singing with her. But she knew that was impossible. It felt like they spent less and less time together everyday. Which is why she was so excited about returning to Calamari County for a holiday.

"I wish you could come with us, Cal," Sammy said as she stood with her two sisters as they waited for the train.

"Me too. I miss hanging out with you guys all the time," Callie replied.

"Hey, she'll be there as soon as she can," Marie pointed out. "It's not like she's never coming,"

"Yeah, but I just wanted more time, you know?" Sammy said.

"Me too," Marie said as he put her hand on Sammy's shoulder. Sammy smiled as she placed her own hand on top of Marie's. The train then pulled up.

"Looks like it's time for you guys to go," Callie said sadly.

"Yeah, I guess so," Marie said. The three shared a hug, before Sammy and Marie rushed onto the train. They waved to Callie, who waved back, as the train pulled out.

The girls enjoyed their first day home. Jason and Aqua were very happy to see them, as were most of the local kids. And of course, Marie and Sammy enjoyed spending time together without life getting in the way.

Then things got worrying.

Very worrying.

Callie wasn't picking up her phone. At first, Marie and Sammy chalked it up to her falling asleep on the train. But then she never showed up. Every train, Marie and Sammy were waiting to greet the final member of their power trio and every train, said member didn't show. Finally, the duo made the decision to cut the trip short and head home. As sad as Jason and Aqua were to see them go, they understood the girls' choice and said that they were thinking of calling someone as well.

"Callie! This isn't funny! We were-" Sammy began as she opened the door to their shared apartment, only to find nothing. Nothing had been touched since the morning her and Marie had left.

"Something here isn't right," Marie realized.

"Let's go for a walk," Sammy said. Marie got the meaning. It was to try and clear their heads off all the bad things that could have happened to Callie.

However, that didn't work as they found another worrying sight.

Or rather, the lack of a sight.

"Where's the Great Zapfish?!" Marie exclaimed. Luckily, the square seemed mostly empty and the few people there played her no mind.

"Where did Gramps say he moved DJ Octavio to?" Sammy asked.

"Octo Canyon," Marie replied. "Let's go check it out. Maybe they will know something about this,"

"The manhole is over there," Sammy said. With a quick glance over their shoulders to make sure no one else was watching, they hopped in.

"Oh right," Marie groaned as she read over the note that Cap'n Cuttlefish had left for them. He and Agent 4 had gone off on a mission together.

"Um, Marie?" Sammy said as she tried to get Marie's attention.

"Him and his stupid missions. I wish he could just stay put sometimes," Marie said to herself.

"Marie?"

"And Jax too? How many people is he going to drag into this?"

"Marie!"

"I mean, we could have beaten DJ Octavio two years ago!"

"MARIE!"

"What?!" Marie snapped. Wordlessly, Sammy pointed at what she wanted Marie to see.

A broken snow globe.

"No...it couldn't have been," Marie said breathlessly.

"He must have!" Sammy pointed out.

"Then we need to stop him now!" Marie pointed out.

"How?" Sammy asked. "Agent 4 is busy with Gramps!"

"We'll...we'll get someone else," Marie said. Both sisters had the same question.

Who would become Agent 5?

...Splatoon 2 begins next time. I think you guys are going to like Agent 5.
