Cerrena walked forward. When she hit the ice, she slid. "WHEEE!" she yelled, and slid around for a bit, when suddenly she was heading toward Fuzzy Ooze! "AHHHH!" when she tried to turn around and run the other way, she slowed down, but slipped and fell right on her face. "Oww."
She got up, and focused on moving on to the next site, where the closest signal was coming from. She knew she needed more power eggs, so she stopped at a kettle.
She stepped into the stupid circle thing that gave her a weapon, and yes, it was stupid. It only let her have curling bombs, of all things. The kettle was named "Try Curling-Alterna's 11th most popular sport!" so cutling bombs kinda did make sense.
She continued forward, and shot out into the level. Ahead was a long lane, with power eggs lined up and a giant green box at the end. When she stepped forward, a wall showed up, which she then bonked her face into. "Ow. Freaking wall. What on Earth?"
"I think you have to stand on the checkpoint to slide the curling bombs, Agent 3." Agent 2 said.
"Ohhh well that makes a lot more sense. Okay." Cerrena stood on the checkpoint, and threw the curling bomb. It went straight as an arrow, and blew up the green box. "Yes!" A launchpad appeared, and she went to the next area.
The next area had multiple floating platforms, and there was a checkpoint nearby. She suspected it was like the first checkpoint, so she stood on it. There was a freaking skinny line, and three green boxes at the end this time. "Geez, what the heck?" she said, aimed, and threw the bomb. It went straight and true, and blew up all the boxes. "WOOO!" A way to the next platform appeared, and she went to the next checkpoint. There was also a thing of power eggs, so she grabbed it.
There was an eye thing, and when she stood on it, she could see the boxes somehow… suspicious. It seemed like she would have to rebound the curling bomb off of a wall, rebound it against a different wall, and get it into the pit with the boxes. She aimed carefully, threw the bomb and…
Broke all of the boxes in one shot! "ALRIGHT!" she cheered.
"Smooth." Agent 2 said.
More power eggs appeared, and a way to the next platform. The next area had rotating platforms, and a few walls. Cerrena watched how the bomb would time, aimed, and threw it, hoping for the best. She broke the boxes at the end, and continued to the next platform, grabbing the power eggs she got. The power eggs seemed to be a reward for breaking all of the boxes at once.
The next platform had the boxes on moving spinning death things, and they were going in and out. Agent 2 said "Remember-you can change how far the bomb goes." Cerrena aimed, timed the bomb, and threw it. Perfect shot! She cheered, and moved on to the next platform.
Last but not least, this was the last one. "Ew." There were dash tracks, a platform area, a balloon fish, and a whole bunch of boxes. The two dash tracks behind the first one were moving side by side, and if she timed it right, it would be a perfect streak. When the left dash track was nearly done moving, she threw the bomb. It dashed off the first track, off the second, kept moving for a little bit, exploded and…POW! Got 'em. "Woomy!"
She moved on to the goal. She threw a curling bomb without looking, and when it exploded, the goal wasn't all the way fixed. "Wha-it didn't work?" She could hear Agent 2 laughing at her. "Shut UP, Agent 2." She threw one last bomb at the stupid goal and moved on.
After she got out of the kettle, she decided. "I'm going to do that one more. That one was actually fun." so she did it like 8 more times, so that she could prevent having to do more kettles than needed.
She went to the Fuzzball that would let her get to the next site, but there was another big Fuzzball that was there too, blocking the way to a different site. That one didn't have a signal coming from it, so she shrugged and got rid of the other one. She continued on to the next site.
This one was boring, unlike the last one. Anyway, she moved on. She got rid of some Fuzzy Ooze, did some stuff, and got to the big kettle that had a signal coming from it. She opened it and hopped inside.
Her only option of weapon was her hero shot. She chose it, and stepped out into the actual part. She hopped into a launchpad, and landed on a circular platform surrounded by a sea of blue ink. "Geez, that's a lot of ink there, what on ea-"
"Stop where you are."
Shiver suddenly dropped in. "You want the treasure? You've got good taste. But you're too delicate for this, am I right?"
"Am I delicate? Hmm, interes-"
Shiver scoffed. "The cold shoulder routine. Of course." She waved her fan up. "Guess you're less delicate than I thought."
"Wha-I didn't mean you were wrong!" Shiver snapped her fan down.
"Guess we'll have to teach you some manners after all." She turned around and called to a person behind her. "Master Mega! Get over here!"
"Wait, Shiver has a master? I thought she was the master. WHA-" suddenly a shark comes swimming in. Shiver jumps onto it, and sticks her tongue out.
"Pedal to the megalodon!" She and her shark (who is probably Master Mega) jump into the ink, and start swimming around the platform.
"Great. I guess this means I have to kick some butt again. Not that I want to, THANKS." Cerrena muttered.
"I think we forgot to put a microphone into Agent 3's headphones when she was over here, Agent 2." Agent 1 pointed out.
"Whoops. Sorry, Agent 3. Come stop by when you're done with this fight and we'll remember to do it this time, okay? Oh wait. You can't respond. Oops" Agent 2 said. Silly Agent 2.
Master Mega popped out of the ink suddenly and sent an ink thing at Cerrena, kind of like a splatana would. She then noticed something. She could ink the shark while it was in the ink, because it was poking out a little bit. She followed the shark, and inked it while she was moving. It popped out of the ink again, and the ink hit her and broke her armor. "Ow." She hopped into her ink and got her armor back, only to be hit by another ink thing. "oW."
Suddenly Master Mega and Shiver go into their ink. They start going towards Cerrena while still in the ground somehow, just like a Maws in Salmon Run. "Last three letters of Salmon Run, Agent 3. RUN." Agent 1 says.
"ON IT!" Cerrena yells, and runs away. They keep chasing her, and when they finally catch up, a circle appears around the fin that was sticking out of the ground. Fish instinctively jumps out and into the circle, and Master Mega chomps him up! "FIIISH!" Fish suddenly jumps out. "OH FISH THANK GOODNESS oh I should probably ink them before they get back into the ink. Master Mega and Shiver were stuck on land, and so Cerrena inked them. "Oh, I have my special ready. Hmm." She splashdowns right onto them, and Master Mega flys off to the side and Shiver is in the middle of the stage, dizzy.
"Hit her while she's down-That's an order from the Captain!" Agent 1 tells her.
"Sorry about this, Shiver. Don't make me splat you more, okay?" Cerrena asks. "I really don't want to do this." She splats Shiver, and for some reason super jumps. Don't question what goes on in a squid's mind.
Shiver respawns. "You're tough for an appetizer. Master, focus this time, okay?"
"UGH NOOOOOOOO-" Master Mega jumps up, makes all the ink on the stage fly off, and sinks it a little bit into the oceanic ink area. "Hey, oceanic, oceanINK! Ha HA! I have good puns sometimes, I wonder what the other agent's puns are like. Hmm."
Shiver says "Whatever. Let's FINish this." She and Master Mega jump into the water again.
"Ooh, that was a good one. Nice, Shiver." They start circling the platform again, and they send more ink waves. Suddenly, the ink started swirling up into the air, and they jumped on top of one.
"Let's swirl things up, shall we?" Shiver says. They jump to a different swirl of ink, and another. They stop at one, and send a big blast of ink down. After, Master Mega is just sitting there with his mouth open.
"Hey, Master Mega, are you hungry? How about a little fishy cracker?" She throws Fish into Master Mega's mouth, and they land on the platform. Cerrena splashdowns again, and Shiver is now wide open, just like her shark's mouth. She splats Shiver again, reluctantly. Shiver respawns, and looks a little salty.
"Master, come ON! I thought you were…" Shiver glanced at Cerrena. "So-FISH-dicated. But seriously. This is no-FIN compared to what you can really do." They jumped into the air, landed on the platform, and blasted the ink off again. They also made the platform sink into the ink more.
"Okay. Doing this again, okay. HEY SHIVER!" Master Mega paused so Shiver could talk a little. "When I splatted you, you vanished into FIN air! Oh, and Master Mega, just keep swimming." He continued swimming.
"What are you guys doing? It's a little fishy." Agent 2 unknowingly joined their little battle happening inside a battle. "Agent 3, you are now officially required to tell me what you're doing here when you're done."
They battled for a little longer, and Shiver was dizzy in the middle once again. "Hey Shiver. That was JAW-some." Cerrena told her before she splatted her.
Shiver respawned. "Ugh…guess I'm…" She smirked. "Megalo-DONE. But you haven't seen the last of Deep Cut! Until next time…Oh n-" she dropped a weird ball thing. It exploded, and they went flying away, to the other tide.
A launchpad appeared, and Cerrena entered it, and landed on a platform higher up. She grabbed the weird thing, which was NOT Macro or Cuttlefish, but whatever. She brought it back to camp.
"Hi guys. What's up?" she said.
"Agent 3. What were you doing there during the battle?" Agent 2 said. She was true to her word.
"Pun battle. It was JAW-some." she smirked
"Okay. Whatever. Give me your headphones, I'm going to put a microphone in them." Cerrena handed her headphones to Agent 2. Then, they heard something coming from a little walkie-talkie they had there.
"Is this thing working? Hello?" They heard a voice.
"GRAMPS! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Agent 1 cheered.
"IS MACRO THERE." Cerrena demanded.
"Yeah I'm here." He responded. Cerrena sighed with relief.
"Are you guys okay there? Where are you?" Agent 2 asked.
"I don't know. It's a really dark room." Cuttlefish said.
"We've been looking for an exit, but we can't find anything." Macro added. "Someone's coming!"
A new voice cut in. "Ah, so you've awakened from hibernation. Good."
"That's former CAPTAIN Cuttlefish to you!" Cuttlefish interjected.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Macro demanded.
"Heh heh heh. You can call me… Mr. Grizz." The walkie-talkie cut off.
"Well that doesn't sound good." Agent 1 said.
"Yeah, duh. Silly." Agent 2 responded. "Let's not tell Agent 4 and Agent 8 who captured Gramps. They will probably destroy something, then kill someone, okay, Agent 1?"
"Okay. Cool." Agent 1 said.
"Okay, Agent 3. Keep going." Agent 2 told her. "Here are your headphones. They have a microphone now."
"Sweet. Bye!" Cerrena super jumped back to the site she was at.
