Chapter 30: Into the Happily Ever After

Then Off the Hook plays their song, "Into the Light," after everyone finished celebrating.

"Now what do we," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"We take you back home," said Marina.

"Yeah! But it's getting dark. You can spend a day at my mansion if you like," said Pearl.

"Hey, guys! While looking for Cap'n Cuttlefish and Owen, I was texting Squid-hunk, Agent 3.5; Taylor. He texted me that he and Marie hired three new agents," said Terry.

"Really? Who are they," said Owen.

"Agents 4, 4.5, and 5. Agent 4 is known as Chris. She's a tomboy toughie and can splat anyone with just one punch."

"My kind of person," said Pearl.

"Agent 4.5 is known as Corey. He's Chris's boyfriend. And Agent 5 is known as Sheldon."

"Sheldon? Ammoses Shellendorf's grandson?! He's finally doing his grandpappy's destiny. Terry texted replied, 'We're coming home tomorrow. Meet me at Cuttlefish Cabin at 12 pm tom. We have four new agents join us'," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"Four new agents? What are talking about, Cap'n," said Elliot.

"Well, we could use four more members in Squidbeak Splatoon. If you can accept it, we'll protect Inkopolis for all species. What do you say?"

"We're in," said Off the Hook.

"So, are we," said Owen and Elliot together.

"Great! I'll send the text now," said Terry.

"Now, you must know. We must keep the heroic Squidbeak Splatoon a secret. My granddaughter, Callie, and Marie are known as Agents 1 and 2. Terry and Taylor are Agents 3 and 3.5. And you know the Agents 4, 4.5, and 5. So-," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

"Can I be Agent 6," said Pearl.

"I want to be Agent 7," said Marina.

"I'm sticking with Agent 8," said Owen.

"I'll be Agent 8.5," said Elliot.

"Okay! Okay! It settled! Welcome to Squidbeak Splatoon: Agents 6, 7, 8, and 8.5. We're going home to Inkopolis," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

As Pearl (Agent 6), Marina (Agent 7), Owen (Agent 8), and Elliot (Agent 8.5) celebrating, Terry whispers to Cap'n, "Cap'n, I also send Taylor that he and the others should set up a party for the new agents. Excited?"

"Yes, Agent 3. Yes, I am," said Cap'n Cuttlefish.

And everyone lived happily ever after (except Commander Tartar, who is defeated). THE END
