Author's notes: Fixed a few errors I spotted in Chapter 4. I don't know if anyone noticed the errors, though.
Chapter 7: Recovery
Saero's view
The doctor came in every day, checking my condition until I was well enough to be discharged. When I finally left, Callie was waiting for me outside. "How's it going?", Callie asked me. "I'm doing a lot better.", I said, stretching my arms, "I'm ready to get back to work." "That's good.", Callie said, "But we need you to help Nira. She's been having difficulty dealing with the Octolings lately." "I see.", I said, "Then we better get moving." "Right.", Callie said before we both went off to Octo Valley.
Upon arriving, I noticed that Dorea wasn't wearing her hood. "So they figured it out, huh?", I asked her. "Yeah.", Dorea replied, "It was Marie that found out and told the others." "Agent 4.", Callie said, "You'll be heading to Area 23 with Agent 3." "I understand.", I said before walking up to Dorea, "I think you should help too."
"M-Me?!", Dorea asked. "If you didn't find me in Inkopolis, I wouldn't have known about this place or the current situation.", I said, "Not only that, but Agent 3 would have to do this all alone." I then pulled out a gun that looked like a black Dual Squelcher. "I made this in my spare time.", I said, "I call it the DR Duel Squelcher." I then hand it over to Dorea. Dorea looks at it for a bit before grabbing it. "If you really want me to, then I'll help.", she said. "Before we go, there's something we need to do.", Callie said before walking into the shack. Moments later, she came out carrying a Hero Suit.
After putting it on, Dorea looked at herself. "Doesn't look bad.", she said, "Infact I think it fits the DR Duel Squelcher." "From here on you'll be Agent 5.", Callie said, "Is that alright with you?" "Y-Yeah.", Dorea said, scratching her head, "I'll do my best!" "Alright, then!", Callie said, "Time to go, agents!" "Right!", the three of us said before rushing off.
