Kareshi was on his knees. He felt sore and powerless, yet happy as can be at the same time. You did it, Kareshi… He thought to himself as he heard the door behind him slam shut so hard that he thought he had felt pieces of the ceiling land on him. Iho's safe and with Shino. They're happy and that's all that matters.

"YOU!" Octavio howled at him with a grin of anger on his face. "You have no idea just how long I've- no, WE'VE waited for this day!"

Kareshi looked at him confused. "'We've'?" He asked. "Who's 'we'?"

Octavio laughed.

"What's so funny?" Kareshi asked, expecting something ridiculous to come out of Octavio's mouth.

"You!" Octavio replied. "'We' is me and your 'girlfriend'. You really t-"

"Shut up, you're not tricking me." Kareshi cut him off, knowing he was right.

Octavio stared at him but Kareshi kept his face like iron. "Grrrr. You little inksquirt! Even when you have no way of escape, you still act tough."

Watch, annnnnd now! Kareshi thought to himself, waiting for someone to bust in but nothing happened. Something climatic… Now! Nothing happened again. … Well splat…

"Hmph. Nothing to say about that, huh?" Octavio asked as he looked down at Kareshi with a gut-wrenching grin.

Kareshi sighed and looked up at him. "What do you want, Octavio? I'm starting to get sick of this."

Octavio then grabbed him by the tentacles and yanked him up to his feet. Then, with the sharpest voice Kareshi had ever heard, Octavio replied. "Revenge!"

Kareshi gulped as Octavio seemed more terrifying now than ever before. Even though he had faced Octavio before, that was from a distance. But up close, Kareshi felt like he was an ant compared to him. And he felt like he was about to be crushed.

Octavio shot a look at Kareshi before starting to drag him out of the room.

Kareshi tried his hardest to escape from Octavio's grasp, but he had no luck. Octavio's grip was like iron.

Octavio dragged him out of the room and shut the double doors with another loud slam.

Meanwhile…

Agent Two and Yujin sat in Cuttlefish's living room while Cuttlefish was off making crabby cakes. Agent Two let out a sigh as she looked over at Yujin. "So… Yujin, was it?"

Yujin nodded. "Yup."

"Iho told me a bit about you." Agent Two explained.

"Really?" Yujin asked. "What did she say?"

Agent Two thought for a moment. "Well, it was about a year after we- er, Kareshi defeated Octavio. She told us… Well… What you're like. And she was spot on too."

Yujin nodded. "Nice… She told me about you too, back before Octavio was defeated."

"Was she right?" Agent Two asked. "How she described me."

Yujin shook her head. "I dunno about before, but not now. No offense, but she described you as an octoling-hating jerk."

Agent Two sighed heavily. "I was… I hated octolings so much, and all the times I screamed at Kareshi to splat Iho now make me feel so guilty. Agent One was right, it wasn't my job to tell them what they could or couldn't do."

There was a pause. Yujin had no idea on how to react on what Agent Two confessed to her. On one hand it made sense since she was Agent Two of The New Squidbeak Splatoon. But on the other hand, she was an octoling and the person who is sitting not even three feet away from her just said she wanted Kareshi to splat Iho. "A-Agent Two… Uhh… Can I ask a question?"

Agent Two nodded. "Ask away."

"What changed you? Iho told me you changed in a snap." Yujin explained as she snapped her fingers.

"Well, it was five days of Agent One-"

"Agent Two, Yujin, gramps, come here!" Agent One cut her off.

"Sounds important." Yujin said.

Agent Two nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

Yujin nodded as she and Cap'n Cuttlefish followed Agent Two into the room where Agent One was waiting.

Agent One looked at them and pointed at the screen on the computer. "Uh… Should we do something about this?" She asked as the trio gathered around the computer and gasped.

There were two inklings who were walking around in Octo Valley wearing Skull Bandanas. One was carrying a Tentatek Splattershot while the other was carrying a Splattershot Junior. The one carrying the Tentatek Splattershot was wearing what looked like a cheap headset.

"Who in their right mind would-"

"I've seen those people before!" Yujin cut Agent One off.

"Who is it?" Agent One questioned her.

Yujin snapped her fingers as she tried her hardest to remember who they were. "Um um um… I seen them iiiinnn... " It then hit her as she paused.

"Yujin?" Agent Two asked.

"That's Kareshi's friends!" Yujin screamed. "I remember Iho showing a picture of them when she went to her first Splatfest! But just to be sure, can I get a closer look?" Yujin questioned her, and with every click Yujin got more and more tense.

"This is as far in as I can go." Agent One explained. "Are they his friends?"

Yujin nodded as she said through her gritted teeth. "I know Iho has something to do with this!"

Agent One looked at her confused. "How do you know that?"

"How else would they know Kareshi's down here?" Agent Two pointed out. "Iho had to have told them."

Agent One then turned to Cuttlefish. "What do we do, gramps!? They could get hurt really badly!" She asked with a concerned and frightened tone.

Cuttlefish slowly looked back and forth between Agents One and Two before sighing. "I'm gettin' old, squiddo. I thinks it's time for you to start takin' missions into your own hands."

Agent One was shocked. "Wh-what!?" She asked, terrified out of her mind. "I don't know how to lead! I just follow you!"

Agent Two then stepped in. "He means for both of us to lead, or to lead as a group with Yujin, Iho, and Agent Three… R-right gramps?" Worry started to build up inside of her.

Cap'n Cuttlefish shook his head. "No, Agent Two. Agent One is right."

"WHAT!?" The two agents called out in unison.

"Gramps, are you crazy!? No offence Agent One, but she has no idea what she's doing! How can she lead!?" Agent Two questioned him, more confused than she had ever been before in her life.

"Hey!" Agent One said annoyed.

"That's why. See how yer actin'? I thinks Agent One can do it." Cap'n Cuttlefish explained as he started walking to the door.

Agent Two then reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "But Cap'n we-"

"No." Cuttlefish cut her off. "I'm not yer cap'n anymore." He then turned around to face her. "I'm just yer old grandpa who makes you crabby cakes… So don't talk to me…" He then pointed his cane at Agent One. "Talk to Cap'n Callie."

Both agents nearly passed out as Cuttlefish walked out and shut the door; leaving the three in the room alone.

"Did… Did he just…?" Agent One asked, not able to finish her sentence.

"Wait. Did he say 'Cap'n Callie'!?" Yujin asked as she looked at Agent One. "A-are you…!?"

Agents One and Two gulped. As Agent Two opened her mouth, Agent One spoke. Seemingly stealing Agent Two's exact words. "N-no. It's just really popular to use those names where we come from."

"Oh." Yujin replied.

Both agents were shocked that it actually worked.

Agent Two then sighed. "Well, 'Cap'n Callie'..." She said with a pinch of sarcasm in her voice. "What should we do?"

Agent One giggled silently for a moment. She has never been called 'Cap'n' by Agent Two since they were kids and used to run around playing make believe. "Well, I think we should talk to Shurui and see if she knows what's happening."

Yujin nodded. "I'll call her. I got her number in my phone."

"Wait, you'll actually help us?" Agent Two asked.

Yujin nodded. "Yeah. I wanna make Shurui and Kareshi happy." She explained. "And Shino too. That and I want to kick Octavia out and get someone who ACTUALLY knows what they're doing."

Agent One nodded in understanding which was followed by a silence.

"Anyway, I'm gonna call her now." Yujin said, breaking the silence as she walked out of the room.

"Okay… What about me?" Agent Two questioned.

"Um… Make sure gramps wasn't joking." Agent One said with an innocent smile.

Agent Two let out a sigh before walking out of the room, grumbling under her breath.
