Chapter 4: Day 4: Into the Octo Oven
At Cuttlefish shack, Chris and Taylor are waiting for Marie in their Agents 3.5 and 4 uniforms. Taylor is text his girlfriend, Terry, aka Agent 3.
"Who are you texting," said Chris, getting curious.
"My squid-babe, Terry aka Agent 3 of Squidbeak Splatoon," said Taylor, dreamingly.
"Oooooooo! Is she exceptional?"
"Heli, yeah! She's the coolest inkling I ever laid eyes on."
"How long have you been dating?"
"2 years."
"You mean two years of torture," said Marie, coming to them, jealous while wearing her Agent 2 uniform.
"What," said Chris confusingly.
"She just jealous of Terry," said Taylor.
"You're a fan of me. Anyway…. The Boss Kettle's open! You've got this, Agent 4," said Marie.
"Aye aye, Agent 2," said Chris, going to the Boss Kettle.
"She's going to fight her first boss. This reminded me when your "girlfriend" went to her first boss battle."
"I get the feeling we might need some backup."
Marie said when Taylor dials on his squid phone, "don't dare call on your "squid-babe"! She's on a trip with Gramps."
"I'm not calling her. I'm calling him."
"Him? Who's him?"
"Your family is familiar with this guy's."
"Huh?"
When Chris enters the first boss battle arena, she comes into the launchpad and lands on the arena floor.
"Woah! This place looks tough, but I'm tougher," said Chris.
When she sees the Zapfish above a suspicious ink puddle, she said, "this looks too simple. I hate simple tasks! I want challengeable kinds! This is Agent 4; calling Agents 2 and 3.5! You call this a challengeable mission?!"
But when she saw a tentacle coming out of the puddle and grabs the Zapfish, she gets surprised. Then the Octo Oven appears from coming out of the ink.
"Now, this is a proper challenge," said Chris, relieved.
"That's the 425 degrees of Pain: Octo Oven," transmitting Taylor (Agent 3.5).
"Looks like the tentacle up there is the source of trouble. The ends of the loaves look deadly. That's why I never eat the end slices," transmitting Marie (Agent 2).
"Agent 4! When all of the loaves come out, use your ink to climb to the top and destroy that tentacle."
"Aye aye, Agent 3.5."
When all of the loaves come out, Chris starts climbing, reaches the top, and destroys the tentacle.
As she super jumps to safety, Marie transmitted, "Donut stop! You knead to keep going!"
"HA! Good one, Agent 2," said Chris when she landed.
When the Octo Oven goes to its second phase, Marie transmits, "MMM! CHURROS! Wait, nope. They're just columns of ink…. But there are fewer walls on the oven to climb now."
"She's really into food," said Chris, climbs on the loaves.
"No joke. She has one heck of an appetite," Taylor transmits.
When Chris takes care of the tentacle, she super jumps to safety as Marie transmits, "good. But doughn't start loafing around, or things might go a rye."
"You're good at food puns," said Chris when she landed.
When the Octo Oven goes to its final phase, Marie transmits, "wait… armored bread? But… Armor? On bread?"
"I know that doesn't make any sense."
"Uh… Some kind of…glazing machine…has appeared."
"Running out of bread puns," Taylor transmits.
"You know it."
When Chris ends the tentacle, Marie transmits, "this guy's toast!"
When the Octo Oven explodes, Chris grabs the Zapfish and piece of metal for machinery.
"Well done, Agent 4. You remind me of Agent 3. Expect you're ten times stronger," Taylor transmits.
"Good work, Agent 4. I sure know how to pick 'em."
"Thank you. Agents 2 and 3.5," said Chris.
"Gotta hand it to the Octarians, though. I didn't expect them to have fully operational octobosses at their disposal."
"You know what that means? It's a good thing I called him," Taylor transmits.
"You're right. I think it's time to call in the big guns. And I'm glad you did. Let's see here… Sheldon? Can you hear me? Over!"
"I hear you loud and clear, Marie! Over! OH MAN, THIS IS SO COOL! Ahem… Agent 4, I'm Sheldon from Ammo Knights, the only weapon shop in Inkopolis with over 542 million years of trusted service…."
"Oh… I heard of you…. aren't you in Inkopolis Square," said Chris.
"That's right-stop by Ammo Knights in Inkopolis Square for all your weapon needs! Tell me Sheldon sent you!"
"Ok?"
"Marie and Taylor told me everything! To think that my signature weapons can be of help to the New Squidbeak Splatoon! I'm honored!"
"Yeah, that's great."
"But I'm afraid I can't just let you treat my vast arsenal like an all-you-can-ink buffet. I do have a business to run, you know."
"Ok, I think I get it."
"So let's help each other-I want you to help me test out some new weapons I'm currently developing!"
As Sheldon continues talking, Chris falls asleep.
"OK. Down, boy. I think Agent 4 gets the point. Let's get back to work, Agent 4. Stay fresh," Marie transmits.
"Agent 4? Agent 4?! Chris! Did you hear Marie," Taylor transmits.
"What?! Yeah… I heard," said Chris, waking up.
"I told you that your talking would make people sleep."
"Sorry," Sheldon transmits.
