Chapter 6: Day 11: Fear the Octo Samurai
Chris, in her Agent 4 uniform, enters the 2nd boss arena.
"I could REALLY use some more data on this weapon. Can you use it for a bit," Sheldon transmits, sending Chris the Hero Roller.
"Sure thing. Wish me luck, Agents," said Chris, uses the launchpad to get on the arena floor.
When she landed, Chris said, "gross! This place is so girly."
"What's wrong with girly? Aren't you a girl," Taylor transmits.
"I'm a 100% tomboy. I hate anything girly and weak."
When the tentacle from a puddle of ink takes the Zapfish, the Octo Samurai emerges from it.
"Wow! I got a huge oppnent. My kind of treat! Agents, intel him," said Chris, preparing her weapon.
"He Splats with honor. He's known as Octo Samurai," Taylor transmits.
"Smoke this clown, Agent 4. For the honor of your family…or something," Marie transmits.
When Chris dodges the Samurai's attack, Sheldon transmits, "that's…the latest in Octarian weapon technology! The Octocycle!"
"Ok, that's just ridiculous…," Marie transmits.
When Chris takes down the Samurai, the tentacle comes out.
As Chris takes it down, Marie transmits, "the tentacle, Agent 4! Wail on it!"
At Inkopolis Square, Corey goes into the Headspace shop that Flow runs.
"Hello, there. You must be Corey. What can I help you with," said Flow.
"Can you give me the best Squidfin Hook Cans you have," said Corey, giving her the money.
"You are in luck! You're the first one to have the latest upgrade on them. And they'll be 60% off," said Flow, giving him the headgear.
"I heard you trying to get a girl to notice you. What is she like?"
"Chris? Well, she's active, tough, and tomboyish."
"I see. Then, give her a mud pie. Not literally."
"She's working for Sheldon. Did you know that?"
"Sheldon? He works alone. Bisk told me that he constantly disappeared before sunset; every day. Right, Craymond?"
"But he told me…."
"And Jelfonzo told me that he sees a yellow-haired, hat-wearing and pink-colored Inkling girl has been coming to Inkopolis Square; every day. She keeps entering a utility hole; early in the morning."
"That has to be Chris. And she never comes to Inkopolis Square at 8 am. I'm going to get to the bottom of this."
Back with Chris, she ends the Octo Samurai at last.
When it explodes, she grabs the mysterious piece of metal and the Zapfish. Marie transmits, "whew, that was insane. Great work, Agent 4."
"Agreeable," Sheldon transmit.
"Bravo indeed, Agent 4. If only Agent 3 were here, you and she would be the best friends," Taylor transmits.
"Is she a tomboy or a girly girl," said Chris.
"She's both."
"Well, that's good enough for me."
"Agent 3 this! Agent 3 that! Can you stop talking about her," Marie transmits.
"You know that she's my girlfriend," Taylor transmits.
"Don't remind me."
"You're such a jealous squid."
"I am not. Anyway…. Maybe it's just me, but the Octarian bases feel like they've been given a feminine touch. Maybe they got a new decorator?"
"No wonder, it's so girly," said Chris.
"…Ruh… Lea… No…," a mysterious voice transmits.
"Huh? This radio's on the fritz. I swear l just changed the batteries in this thing," Marie transmit.
"Aaaactually, there is likely radio interference in Octo Canyon! All the junk around there is probably giving off electro-static! See, a lot of consumer products use a frequency called the CPOD band! Microwave ovens are prime culprits. In fact, my micro-," Sheldon.
"*kshhhhh* You're breaking up, Sheldon. *kshhhhh* I'm going through a tunnel in an elevator. *kshhhhh*"
"Marie!? Marie!? Hey! What's going on," Taylor transmits.
At Inkopolis Square, Chris, in her regular clothes, was about to leave the Square.
"Hey, Chris," said Corey, going to her.
"Corey! What brings you here," said Chris.
"Fashion shopping. Explain this. If you work for Sheldon, then where are you at with him?"
"Um….. I do the tests somewhere that's far from Inkopolis Square. We don't want anyone hurt."
"Fair point."
Then Chris notices Sheldon is trying to sneak back into his shop without Corey noticing him. Chris hugs Corey so that Sheldon can go in.
When Sheldon goes into his shop, Chris said after finish hugging Corey, "I got to go. Bye, Corey!"
When she leaves, Corey stood there, blushing and think to himself, "she never hugged me like that before. What if Chris and Sheldon are more than just workers….. I purpose a stakeout."
