Jr stood silently and stared with his usual cold, deadpan expression. He didn't budge from his spot. DJ Octavio stood and watched nervously. Blanca approached the young prince.

"Octavio Jr... It's been so long..." she said. She reached to touch him, but he reeled back.

"Jr!" DJ Octavio warned.

"Octavio, it's fine." she said turning back to glare at the DJ. DJ Octavio backed off. She turned back to Jr. She stared at Jr silently, taking in his appearance. She hasn't looked at her child in so long. She smiled gently. "You look so much like your father..." Jr relaxed a little. Her smile soon faded into a frown. "I've been gone for so long. It's not fair for me to come back at such a bad time... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you..." He was silent for a bit and his face darkened.

"Why bother coming back now?" he asked.

"Jr!" DJ Octavio warned again.

"If you were alive all this time... why didn't you even try to come back? Or even try to contact us? Some mother you are!" Jr snapped. He whipped around and stormed off. Octarians cleared a path and eventually Jr super-jumped away. DJ Octavio was about to go after him, but Blanca grabbed one of his tentacles.

"No, no. Leave him... I really should've tried harder to do those things..." she said sadly. He turned to her and held her shoulders.

"Please, don't be so hard on yourself. You had amnesia. You just got your memories of us back… He's been through so much. The Valley's really hardened the kid... I should've been more there for him too..." he sighed. "It'll take some time for him to forgive both of us. The best we can do is wait. Let's focus on these Octarians right now, though." She smiles gently and nods. They directed the Octarians onto the boats and they were going to have them move to Calamari County.

DJ Octavio sent Jr a message telling him he could send some Octarians to the beach so they could come as well. Jr replied with a 'whatever' since he was still upset. He headed back to Inkopolis to see if things went well with the others. Once he arrived, he texted Charlotte asking where she was. She replied Blackbelly Skatepark, so he made his way there. Once he got there, the three of them ran to greet him. Charlotte hugged him tightly. He was a bit embarrassed and his face glowed purple. Teuta and Erink just laughed. Finally Charlotte pulled away and stared solemnly at him.

"How did it go?" she asked.

"I saved as many people as I could... I may need to make trips back to find survivors or bodies. The families deserve closure." he sighed sadly. She patted his shoulder.

"What about the Octarians here and at Urchin Underpass?"

"They could either stay here or move to Calamari. My mother, who I previously thought was dead, invited any Octarians looking for a home." He turns his attention to the crowd. "Yo." They all quieted down and listened. "You can either stay in Inkopolis or move to Calamari County, so make your choice." The Octarians mumbled amongst each other. Some came towards Jr, implying they wanted to go to Calamari. Some didn't budge at all, since they wanted to stay in Inkopolis. Jr nodded and led the way. "I'll be back. I suppose I should get my dad to formally apologize to Inkopolis for sure this time. Maybe it would help."

"Sounds good. See you in a bit." Charlotte replied. He waved and led the Octarians to the shore where the others left for Calamari. Little by little, things began calming down. Charlotte and the others headed home to rest. The left back Octarians returned to the homes they were staying in. People were generally nice enough to let them stay in Inkopolis since they war was over 100 years ago. There was no need to hold a grudge. Things had to be cleaned up majorly because of all the fighting that took place, but Inkopolis would be in tip-top shape in no time. Things would start looking up soon.

A few months had passed and things were a lot different in Inkopolis. Both Inklings and Octarians could live in Inkopolis now. There was still a bit of prejudice amongst the two races, but it would take time to fix that. DJ Octavio had formally apologized to Inkopolis and returned the Great Zapfish. He was staying in Calamari with Blanca and many other Octarians. Jr was living with Charlotte and the others. He and Charlotte were going to try their relationship again. Erink also got together with Ophelia. Teuta didn't care for relationships, but was doing swell.

Jr was leaving for Octo Valley. Charlotte went to go say goodbye.

"You really have to go do this, huh?" she asked sadly.

"Yeah... It's my duty as the prince to care for my people. And if anyone's left back, I want to find them. I always come back, don't I?" he said.

"Well, yeah. But I still worry... Just be careful, OK?" she said while giving him a peck on the cheek. He blushed and nodded. He gave her a peck back.

"I'll return soon. Don't worry." He headed off and she sighed. Teuta walked up to her sister.

"Aw don't be so bummed out. How 'bout we go do some turf wars? That always cheers me up." she suggested. Charlotte smiled.

"Alright. Erink, Ophelia! Are you coming?" Charlotte called. The two were smooching up a storm. Erink pulled away.

"Oh, sure! Lemme just grab my roller." he called back. "Come on Ophelia. Have you seen turf wars before?" She shook her head. "Oh! You'll love it! It's like the best thing ever!" He grabbed his roller and the four of them headed to Inkopolis Tower. Things had gone back to normal for sure. Finally Inklings and Octarians could live in peace together once more. Things could only get better from here on.
