Dawn of a Hero

by ObliviblurDiscontinued

Agent 4 is dead, Agent 3 soon will be, and Agent 8 has gone missing. An evil inkling traitor has joined the Octarians and convinced them into destroying Inkopolis and erasing the citizen's memories. With no one there to help Inkopolis in its darkest hour, they will need a true hero, not an agent, to rise up. And though they need one, that still does not mean they'll get one.

Chapter Eleven: They're Gone

Jet was not giving up yet! He grabbed his weapon, slamming it over and over on the elevator until it shattered. The clock said 20 seconds. Out of breath, the inkling boy dashed toward the bomb. As soon as he touched it, his entire hand was electrocuted. He stumbled backwards and landed next to his almost deceased sister.

Defeated, he sighed. What could he do now? He had nothing left to use, he was out of ink, and now the whole city would be destroyed, be forced into slavery and killed. Jet sobbed quietly next to Keys Lime until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Jet," said Keys through a weak, raspy voice, "I know we will die, but I am very proud of you." Jet smiled. The clock ticked at 10 seconds. "You saved me multiple times, helped friends, helped strangers, defeated villains, helped the Squidbeak. You loved. That's what was most important. Good bye."

The clock was at five seconds when Keys Lime died. Jet felt her presence slip away, gone forever. There was nothing more he could do. Jet closed his eyes at three.

"Goodbye," he muttered.
