Author's notes: I'm not going to type up the entire stage since it's the same as stage 23 in the game, just more heavily filled with Octarians.

Chapter 8: Agent 5

Saero's view

The three of us dropped onto the 'starting base', as I called it. As I looked forward, I saw the sponges in front of us as well as the water balloon. I took a quick look at Nira and Dorea, confirming that they both turned light blue from the home base, before shooting the balloon. It exploded after a second before I gave the signal to the other two to move forward. As I expected, Dorea had no problems with the light blue ink. We continued through the area until eventually we got to a platform that had a few sponges on it. As we dropped down, an Octoling appeared as if it was Super Jumping.

"Well well, if it isn't the traitor.", she said, "I'm surprised you actually came here, Dorea. But no matter. I still have my orders to kill you and the other agents!" The octoling began shooting at us, but we managed to avoid it. I tried to shoot her with a fully charged shot, but she was more agile than I expected. But to my surprise, she was suddenly hit by an Inkzooka shot. Another Octoling appeared, but she also got splatted by an Inkzooka. "Maybe you shouldn't leave Inkzookas lying around like that!", I heard Nira say. I realized that she was the one who took them out and gave her a thumbs up before we went to the launch pad, taking us to the zapfish.

"Good work, agents!", Callie said as we reterned to the shack with the zapfish. "Thanks, Callie.", I said back to her, "With the three of us we should get them all back in no time. And the captain, too." "I hope so.", Marie said, "I just hope Grandpa's okay." "He will be.", I told her, "Anyway, I gotta get going. I'm pretty sure Sheldon will be expecting me tomorrow, so I need to get some rest." "Alright.", Nira said. I then slipped into the grates and returned to my hotel.
