"Please accept our apologies Captain." Gary apologised to Captain Barnacles and held out his hand, "I am Gary the Gadget Guy, scientist of Club Penguin."

"Nice to meet you Gary," Barnacles warmly shook the scientist's hand, after picking up his captain's hat, "and after what I've heard from Rookie here, I'm not surprised that you wanted to catch him. But I think we'd better get a move on."

"Why?" Rookie asked.

"Because Herbert's crabs are going to take over the Octopod, so Herbert can escape." Eva explained.

"Well good riddance." Rookie smiled,

"Err Rookie, the Octopod is the Octonauts home." Prinsessrock said.

"Oh..." Rookie replied realizing what Prinsessrock had said.

Suddenly Barnacles Octo-compass's communicator rang,

"Octopod calling Captain Barnacles, come in Captain." Dashi appeared on the small compass screen,

"Barnacles here, what's wrong Dashi?"

"Crabs are surrounding the Octopod, they're getting in through every vent, some are already in the communications system; we may lose connection any min..."

"Dashi, Dashi? Come in Dashi." Barnacles stared at the blank screen; then he turned to the Octonauts.

"Tweak which Gups did you bring?"

"Well we came in the Gup C." Tweak explained.

"Ok get the Gups A and C ready then."

"I'll get them ready faster than you can say buncha munchy crunchy carrots!" she smiled as she ran back to the Beach.

"Ok Octonauts we need to rescue the Octopod," Barnacles announced,

"Umm Captain, I've just talked to the EPF Director; we have a plan. As we've dealt with Klutzy and Herbert's crabs before, maybe some of our agents can go with you and help?" Gary asked the captain.

"Ok, that's a good idea, so who's coming?"

"Us!" Prinsessrock, Eva, Tweakbunny, and Lennyice shouted at once.

"And Me!" Rookie called, Gary looked at him remembering the mishaps he'd caused in previous missions,

"Please, may I go?" Rookie pleaded, there was a pause then,

"Ok, but be careful, and agents, please keep in contact using your spy phones."

"Got it, thanks G!" Rookie ran to the Octonauts.

"Got it G." Eva nodded.

Gary turned to Jet Pack Guy and Dot, "Ok, Jet Pack Guy, fly around the island and keep an eye out for Herbert, Dot disguise yourself and do the same. I'll wait at the Beach, and keep in contact with the agents and Octonauts."

"Got it G!" the two agents replied.

"Why don't our puffles can search the island too G?" Tweakbunny suggested.

"That's a good idea agent." Gary smiled.

Captain Barnacles looked to the penguins, "Ok Octonauts and EPF agents let's do this!"

...

Soon the Gups were under the sea heading towards the Octopod, Kwazii was in the Gup C with the four agents and Rookie, while Barnacles was in the Gup A with the Octonauts.

"Can I drive?" Rookie asked Kwazii,

"Umm, no I think it would be better if I drive matey." He replied.

Rookie sat down looking downcast, "No one seems to trust me." Rookie sighed,

"Maybe you need to act less like a rookie and more like an agent?" Eva suggested.

"But I'm always making mistakes."

"Rookie, we all make mistakes, learn from them and move forward, don't look back." she smiled gently.

Suddenly Shellington's voice was heard over the speaker, "Kwazii we're approaching the Octopod. It should be just over that sand ridge"

Prinsessrock reported back to G, as the Octopod came into view.

"Jumping Jellyfish! I've never seen so many crabs!" Shellington exclaimed.

The Octopod was covered on crabs trying to get inside. "Ok Octonauts and Agents lets suit up and go outside." Barnacles ordered.
