Chapter 8: Day 18: The Octostomp Returns

Chris, in her Agent 4 uniform, enters the 3rd boss arena floor with Hero Dualies.

"My kind of weapon," said Chris.

When the tentacle from the ink takes the Zapfish, Octostomp emerges from the ink.

"Wait, I know this guy! It's Octostomp," Marie transmit.

"Octostomp? But didn't Agent 3 take him down years ago," Sheldon transmit.

"I guess he's back for more. You've got this, Agent 4!"

"Already on it," said Chris, climb the Octostomp to reach the tentacle.

When she disposed of it, she super jumps to safety.

When the Octostomp turns into Neo Octostomp, Chris said, "Is that normal?"

"Unthinkable… His armor is completely unsinkable," Sheldon transmits.

"Gotta hand it to these Octarians. They sure do know how to go big," Marie transmits.

At the Cuttlefish Cabin, Corey and Taylor talking to each other.

"Wow! I never imagine this is her real job," said Corey.

"You reminded me of me 2 years ago, except I was 14. I never my squid-babe had this job," said Taylor.

"Can you help me?"

"I know. You want to have Chris. Girls like guys who proven themselves that there worthy of fighting."

"This is Agent 4. I request back up," Chris transmit.

"Taylor! Chris needs you," said Corey.

"Why don't you help her, Agent 4.5," said Taylor, gives Corey the Hero Suit.

Corey is amazed and said, "are you serious?"

"This is your chance."

Back with Chris, she's fighting the Octostomp that went to its final phase.

"GAAAAAAUGH! THIS DUDE JUST GREW TWO MORE FACES," Marie transmits.

"Where in ink is my backup," said Chris, getting tired of the battle.

Then Corey wearing the Hero Suit that Taylor gives him jumps over the Octostomp while blasting the buckle off of it. When he landed, Chris was so impressed that her eyes reflected Corey's appearance.

"Just in time, Corey," said Chris.

"Let's end this, dude," said Corey.

"Yeah!"

The two climbs to the tentacle of the Octostomp and dispose of it. When the Octostomp exploded, Chris grabs the metal piece, and Corey grabs the Zapfish.

"Just in time, Corey," Sheldon transmits.

"He's better known as Agent 4.5," said Taylor transmits.

"Just as dreamy as Taylor," Marie transmits.

"Thank you? Although I'm a fan to you," said Corey.

"Agent 4, I want to thank you again for all you've done so far."

"You're welcome," said Chris.

"I think it's time I told you about my other purpose in asking for your help…."

"Ok."

"When we met, I told you l was searching for the Great Zapfish. But I'm afraid that's not the whole story. You see… Even more than the Great Zapfish, I want to find my cousin Callie. She vanished on the same day as the Great Zapfish!"

"Don't worry, I know."

"She's right. It was pretty obvious," said Corey.

"…Wait. You already knew?! Phew. Cool. …So anyway. I'm Agent 2 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, and Callie is Agent 1. Then there's Agent 3…."

"My squid-babe; Terry (aka Agent 3). And you know, I'm Agent 3.5, and Sheldon is Agent 5," Taylor transmits.

"Anyway… She's currently out with mine and Callie's grandpa, Cap'n Cuttlefish. They won't be back for a while…."

"I hope she comes back. She owes me a lot of dates."

"Ahem!"

"Sorry."

"I was supposed to be protecting Inkopolis while Cap'n was away, but then… Callie… The Great Zapfish… Sorry I didn't tell you sooner… We'd totally sunk without you, Agent 4."

"Oh, that's ok. I understand," said Chris.

"Me too. We'll help you find them," said Corey.

"You're sweet, Corey. No wonder Chris is best friends with you. I know we'll find Callie if we keep looking! Think you can see this thing through," Marie transmits.

"Lea… No… LEAVE NOW," a mysterious voice transmits.

"Who was that," said Corey.

"It's that mysterious voice from after I defeat the 2nd boss battle," said Chris.

"Huh? Who's there? If you get in our way, Agents 4 and 4.5 will mess you up," Marie transmits.

"And I will, too," said Chris.

"Not me. I'm more of a lover than a fighter," said Corey.

"You got to squid up, Corey."

"I know. But that voice sounds so upbeat than scary."

"Now that you mention it. That voice is from a female. And it sounds so familiar to me," Taylor transmit.
