Chapter 26: Escape 05: Diaphragm Phase

When Owen arrived at the phase, Marina transmits, "I'm getting a strong energy core signal! It's somewhere in this area!"

"I'm on the case," said Owen, gets to work.

"Marina… Check on the old man and Agent 3(Terry) after this," Pearl transmits after Owen gets equipped with an Inkjet.

"Collect all eight data points, Owen. And the locks will release the energy core," Elliot transmits.

"So smart of you, Elliot," she said as she grabs one.

Back with Elliot and Off the Hook, they are on the helicopter and flying above the sea to find the location where Owen, Cap'n Cuttlefish, and Terry could be.

As they fly to the place, the song "Nasty Majesty" plays, and Elliot said, "follow the line lights to reach the points. You got this, Owen."

"Thanks, Elliot," she transmits

"Hey, Marina! How's the old man doing," said Pearl.

"Whoa-they're climbing! They're higher up than Agent 8," she said.

"Owen, did you catch that? Terry and Cap'n Cuttlefish are probably at the next or second next phase," said Elliot.

"Heard it, loud and clear," she transmits.

"Is Prince Octavius really at Inkopolis," said Marina.

"Of course, he is. No one knows where he is hiding," said Elliot.

"But I looked everywhere for him."

"You know he's Owen's boyfriend, right?"

"Yes, sadly."

"I understand. I have a crush on Owen. But I moved on, at least."

"I see a love square," said Pearl.

"Oh, be quiet," said Elliot, annoyed.

Back with Owen, she's searching for the last lock to release the energy core.

When she found it, Elliot transmits, "well done, Owen! You were always a superstar."

"Thank you, Elliot."

When the locks release the core, Marina transmits, "all locks released! The energy core…."

Then the energy core begins to glow; strangely.

"Hey! What's happening?! WHOOOAAA," Pearl transmits as the core went up.

"Hey! The energy core is running away," Elliot transmits.

"Get back here, little core," said Owen, going to a Launchpad.

"Follow it, Agent 8," Marina transmits.

"You got it, DJ_Hyperfish."

"And Cap, too," Pearl transmits as Owen follows the core.
