Ayeee were back! And this story is finally properly tagged with Agent 3 x Agent 8, rather than being the vague Agent 3 x Octarians

Anyways, let's get right into this!

Welp, this was a total disaster.

Then again, she couldn't have possibly stayed hidden for long in the main building of wherever-the-heck-she-is, where octarians were constantly walking by, and now here she was, running as fast as she could in high heels, which was pretty damn fast surprisingly, while she was shot at rapidly.

She has been safe for a few minutes, being the same color as the Octarians, but it seemed they had something for those situations, and now every single Octarian was light blue like in the Deepsea Metro, a color she happened to not enjoy seeing.

She also couldn't change either, as she was too preoccupied with running for her life, and even if she did, a minute later everyone would be purple again (she assumed).

Sara dashed into an elevator, and started mashing the highest number button on the wall, Octoling soldiers dashed at her, as she changed to mashing the "close" button instead, one of the Octolings yelled "HOLD THE DOOR" as he fired at her, only to be stopped, along with everyone else, by a Splat Bomb that Sara remembered she had.

The elevator began moving up to the top floor slowly, a calming elevator music filling the area, "of course they have elevator music..." she thought to herself, a hint of annoyance in her thoughts, "if someone is writing my life, their either having a field day, or their mocking me"

Then the elevator stopped

And a large amount of octarians with little propellers flew outside the window, did I mention this was one of those fancy elevators where one half is inside and the other is like a window? This is that kind of elevator.

Sara groaned as she started to say "Oh come o-"

Meanwhile back with Sam and co.

"-on!" Sara yelled at Marina, causing Marina to flinch, "what's taking so long! We need to go get Sara!" She yelled angrily, as Marina worked on the jump pad.

"I'm working as hard as I can..." Marina started, before getting cut off by an angry Agent 3, "WELL WORK HARDER!!" She yelled, prompting Pearl to jump in, "Hey!" She yelled, putting herself between Sam and Marina, "Don't talk to her that way! She's working as hard as she can!"

Sam stopped for a moment, and realized what she had done, everyone was looking at her, with faces filled with either worry or fear, shame filled her heart, "I'm... I'm sorry..." she said, looking at the ground, she was upset, she was stressed, she was angry, but not at Marina or anyone else, at herself.

"I'm really sorry Marina..." she said again, "I-i didn't mean it..." she tried to find something to justify her actions, her stress for Sara came up, by even that didn't excuse the fact she had acted horribly, before she knew it, emotions she normally tried to keep in check came out again, tears beginning to form, it seemed she was more sensitive lately.

Pearl looked at her, her facial expression unreadable, before smiling and lightly punching her in the arm, "o-ow!" Sam said, more suprised than hurt, before getting a hug from Marina, "we're gonna her back Sam" she said, comforting the currently sensitive agent, everyone smiled at her, their smiles contagious, so she smiled back, then it was interrupted by Cuttlefish's "Ah! Your here!"

Agent 3 turned around, seeing a creature she didn't recognize, a blue... slug? It was wearing what looked like a conductors hat, "C.Q Cumber! Glad you could make it!" Cuttlefish said enthusiastically, "good to be here, elderly squid" said C.Q Cumber, "none of the test subjects do the tests anymore, and when I heard our best subject was in danger, Iso Padre urged me to go" he said, looking up at the Captain.

"How did you even get out?" Said Marina, as she typed away, "I have my ways..." he said mysteriously, "I'll have to go back after this though, so let's save Test Subject 10,008 with haste" he said, extending a... tentacle? And waving it around.

Sheldon walked over, "Well then, you and the captain will ride with me in the truck!" He said happily, pointing to the flying truck Callie and Marie apparently preformed in, we will be there a little late, but we will be able to provide backup! I upgraded the truck to have heavy splatting guns on the si-" he began to ramble, going on into a seemingly endless rant about everything he upgraded the truck with, a topic that seemed to interest the sea slug.

"We're almost done!" Yelled Marina, typing at a greater speed, "get ready!" She said as Pearl and Ian grabbed their Dualies, Marina scooted a little closer to an Octobrush next to her, Kelly and Sam held their Hero Shots, Orion had his Octo Shot, and Callie had her Hero Roller while Marie had her Hero Charger.

They were ready.

Meanwhile, Coral...

Coral looked down from the top floor window, a series of OctoCopters fired little ink balls at a frozen elevator, only for it to do nothing, because ink does nothing to glass, something she had forgotten about.

"Prep the Octobot King 21/2" she said to Octavio, who nodded his head, and floated off in a little chair through a door, Coral pressed a button and the elevator Clara... of as she went by, Sara... was in, began to move again, she picked up an Octo Shot Pro, and stood by the main computer, ready to do something dramatic when Sara came out of that elevator.

A single tear rolled down her left eye, she wiped it away and steeled her resolve, the elevator came closer, she could hear it, it stopped, a "DING" was heard, and the door began to open.

Hooooo baby, another cliffhanger! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! The next one will be out soon, and by soon, I mean at least a day, as I plot and write the next chapter!

I'll see you next time, byeeeeeee!
