Chapter Six: "Together"
Jet Lag wouldn't be able to Super Jump with her, as it's impossible to carry someone in Squid Form.
"I'm so sorry, Keys!" he cried, falling over her. "I couldn't do it! I couldn't! I'm a failure! I need you! I love… you…" Jet's voice trailed off, as he noticed a big, yellow tower off a little ways in the distance. It had several satellite dish's on it. He what that place was! (Do you?)
He picked Keys up and started to run towards the place. He saw several old, crumbling buildings around here, and when he arrived at the city, water was flooded throughout the Booyah Base. (Now you know what that place is, right?)
It was Inkopolis Plaza!
"Anybody here?" he shouted out loud. "Please, I need help!" Behind him, a head in a grate popped up, curious at the shouts. Seeing Jet's outfit, the man wondered, Did Agent 3 get a new haircut? Must be some style that exists in that new Plaza. Square, I mean. It looks very boy-ish though…
Jet Lag whisked around after hearing the grate open up, and saw the face in the kettle. Cuttlefish, not being able to see well, shouted, "Agent 3! Long time no see! Hey that rhymes! Well, anyways, I like you're new haircut."
"Wait, huh, no I'm not-"
Cap'n Cuttlefish suddenly realized it wasn't Agent 3, but since this squid was dressed so heroically, he thought he could help.
"And I also have some important news to tell you, bucko. Agent 4 is dead. He left Inkopolis Square three months ago to go find Octo Corp., but his shadow was seen through a UFO, being stabbed mercilessly.… that can only mean Octo Corp. killed him. Poor nyges… Agent 3 and Agent 8 went to go finish the mission together, but we're confronted by Octo Corp. and their deadly Mutant Gel… Agent 8 got out alive, but they caught Agent 3 in the surprise attack. That means Agent 3 must be dead, or at least soon will be. So far, Agent 8 has never returned, so that means she's missing. Agents 1 and 2 are thinking of a plan, and Agents 5 and 6 are too busy to be a part of this. And I know you're not Agent 3."
For a second, Jet just stood there, a little shocked. Then he spoke. "YOU GOTTA HELP ME! MY SISTER… SHE'S DYING HERE! PLEASE, ANYTHING YOU CAN DO!" The Cap'n quickly jumped into the kettle, and Jet followed. When he popped up, he knew that he was at Octo Valley.
"Lemme see 'er!" the Cap'n shouted urgently. Jet handed Keys Lime over to him. The Cap'n laid Keys in green ink, which was her color, and let it revive her. "That's a trick to always remember, bucko. In any situation, even if one is dead, the ink always heals."
Jet's jaw dropped. He watched Keys sit up, almost completely fine. Her injuries had basically gone away. Basically. She stood up and blinked, confused.
"Wha… wha… what happened?" she asked, looking around. "Jet?" she saw him, but did not recognize him. "Where's Jet?"
"Right here." Jet bent down.
"No… you're not Jet!" she said, a little irritated.
"Yes I am!" he laughed.
"NO!" Where Jet used to see Keys, all he saw a Hunter.
"Keys…?" his eyes wide with shock.
Hunter-Keys grabbed a weapon leaning against Cuttlefish Cabin. She lifted it towards Jet, aimed, and-
The Cap'n jumped in front of the shots and rolled backwards. "You heard… what I said… find… Agent 8!" Hunter-Keys through him over the edge of the map.
"Let's see Inkopolis fall… together!" she laughed, grabbing Jet and teleporting back to the Square.
