Author's notes: Had to edit this chapter 'cause I forgot to put the POV for the first part of it. SORRY!

Chapter 21: Birth Of Agent 6

Saero's view

"Saero, I have something I want to say.", Anni said, "I'm going with you." Hearing this caused me to step back. "Are you sure, Anni?", Callie asked. "Yes, I am.", Anni said, "I want to prevent what happened to me and Kareo from happening to anyone else!" "Anni, this isn't going to be easy.", I said, "This isn't like a Turf War. If you get splatted, it'll be all over for you." "I know.", Anni said, "But I'd rather die trying than continue living as a coward!"

"Those eyes...", Cuttlefish began, "They have the same determined look that I found in Nira and Saero." I was hesitant, but I knew that with what we planned to do we needed all the help we could get. "You really do seem determined to see this through.", I said, "Alright, then. If there aren't any objections, then you can come with us."

After Anni finished changing into her Hero Suit, the four of us left for the laboratory. When we got to the guards, I showed them the ID that Anni gave me, and they let us through. After opening the electric door with it, the four of us got onto the moving tile that took us all the way to the laboratory.

When we got inside, I saw that there were two ways to go. "Anni, Dorea, take the left path.", I said, "Nira and I will take the right." The two nodded at me before heading off, and me and Nira did the same. Eventually, the path split again. "I'll take the left path.", I said. Nira nodded before running down the right path.

Anni's view

When the path split again, Dorea told me to take the left path, so I did. Eventually, I began to hear footsteps, so I hid. I waited as a pair of Octoling scientists walked by before I continued moving. As I continued running, I thought about the other Inklings that were taken here, and I was afraid that they may have already been transformed. But for their sake, I had to continue my mission no matter what!
