"Life Can Be Problematic. But You'll Get Through It."

==============

Agent 3's P. O. V

We're fighting the Octostomp again? But there's also 3 Inklings ready to kill us. This is the one fear that came true, Inklings being corrupted to the Octo's side. Wish he wouldn't do much to get in my way. Wait, I'll tell him the game plan...

Agent 3: Agent 7! *readies her N-Zap '89*

Agent 7: Huh!? *looks at 3*

Agent 3: I'll deal with the Octostomp. You'll deal with the Inklings.

Agent 7: Okay. I have a bone to pick with them anyway. 

Agent 3: Well then. GO! *runs off to the right*

Agent 7: Huh. Excited. *runs straight at Cristovelle*

Brooks' P. O. V

Seems like the targets are those 3. I need to get them, and also not get in the way of Agent 3's attacks. Seems she's a profreshional. 

Agent 7: *start to shoot at Cristovelle* ...

Cristovelle: Really? Already me?

Agent 7: *stops* What? Do you want me to get you last? I'm already locked on to you. Imma get you out of the way first. Then your accomplices. (Seems he has a Roller. A Krak-on Roller perhaps?)

Cristovelle: I've been training since last time. This is gonna be different fight. 

Agent 7: Talk is cheap. Show me.

Cristovelle: *swims towards 7*

Agent 7:*swims away from Cristovelle* ...

A-kun: The Splattershot's kit is going to be from Splatoon 2. Back to the fight.

Dang, if it was my custom weapon, Cristovelle would be toast. Probably also roasted. But i only got Burst Bombs as my Sub Weapon. That sucks.

Agent 7: *throws multiple Burst Bombs at Cristovelle then swims back in the ink* ...

Yep. I can't do much. And I can't afford to get near him. If I do, I'll get rekt with the Roller. And I wonder when's Kraken is gonna come up. And also his Beakon. He might use it. Or he might forget it. I wish for the best...

Agent 7: (I can't splat him. I'll try to get some space then try to shoot him.) *frustrated* ...

Meanwhile...

Agent 3's P. O. V

Agent 3: *bursts the tentacle of the Octostomp for the 1st time* ... (This is so easy. I better do this quick so I can assist Agent 7.)

Octostomp: *screams loudly* ... *pops back the tentacle*

Agent 3: *super jumps back to the starting spot* ... (Gonna do this 2 more times.) Anyways, how's 7 doing? *looks at Agent 7's direction*

Huh, seems he's really struggling. He should had used the "custom" weapon. It's there for a reason. Why did he didn't use it? He not in a good position against a Roller user. Anyways, let's keep going.

Agent 3: *runs straight at the Octostomp* ...

Carl: *shoots at Agent 3* Not on my watch!

Agent 3: *stops* Get out of my way! *shoot at Carl* (Okay. Just a Blaster-class weapon. It looks like a normal Rapid Blaster. A good match-up with my N-Zap '89.)

Michael: *shoots at Agent 3 as well* It's a 3v1! Give up Agent!

Agh. Another one? He has a Slosher-class weapon. I'm not having a great time here. I just remember it's a 2v4. Agent 7 must get someone's attention to ease my struggles here.

Agent 7's P. O. V

Agent 7: *pops out of the ink* ... *still struggling* 

Finally. I got some much needed space away from Cristovelle. Time to bully him from long range.

Agent 7: *shooting at Cristovelle* ... *but remembers something*

I wonder what's going on with Agent 3. Wish she's not having a bad time. Well, that's impossible since it's a 2v4. Wait a sec, I'm fighting Cristovelle. so it's a 1v1. So Agent 3 is fighting 3 enemies. Crap!

Agent 7: *looks at Agent 3* ... *sees her struggling* 

I need to get someone's attention. But how? I'm already in a heated battle with Cristovelle. What to do... Alright, here goes...

Agent 7: *runs to Agent 3* ...

Oh god. I'm taking a big risk. Going to Agent 3 while she's fighting 3 enemies while me I have Cristovelle hot on my tail.

Agent 7: 3! Over here! Sprinkler! 

Agent 3: Alright! *throws a Sprinkler*

As the Sprinkler hit the ground, the bad boy went nuts. As soon the Ink was hitting the 3, they soon backed off of us. Giving us breathing room. 

Agent 7: How you doing, 3?

Agent 3: Not doing great now that you're here!

Agent 7: *looks at the Sprinkler* How is it not stopping? It's not slowing down.

Agent 3: *smriks* Heh. You jealous?

Agent 7: Just curious Agent. 

Agent 3: Okay, I'll tell you later. But first, get the attention from my match-ups. I have 3 on me. Get one.

Agent 7: Okay, I'll get one of the enemy Inklings attention. So it's a even fighting effort.

Agent 3: Go! *shoots at Carl getting his attention* 

Agent 7: *shoots at Michael to get his attention* ...

Cristovelle: Don't you forget about me! *tries to crush Brooks with the Roller*

Oh my squidjesusplshalpme.

Agent 7: *rolls out of the way* ... *having a panic attack*

I might actually lose. But... I have a strat. I'm just playing the waiting game. 

Michael: Die! *throws Burst Bombs at Brooks* 

Agent 7: Nope! *swim in the ink to get some distance*

Cristovelle: You're finished! *tries to crush Brooks with the Roller again*

Yeah. I may just die. I'm nearing the ledge of the arena. The big freefall of death. But i have a idea. Just a bit more time i can execute this..

Agent 7: Here we go! 

Cristovelle: Ahhhhhh! *gets grabbed by Brooks by the neck*

Agent 7: *tries to throw off Cristovelle off the ledge* ...

Michael: No! 

He can't do anything about it! He's done!

Cristovelle: Not yet! *super-jumps to the Octostomp*

Agent 7: *groans* Damn it. But you're open! *shoots Michael*

Michael: *gets splatted* ...

One down, 3 more. I doubt Michael is really dead. But I wish he is. So he wouldn't mess with our momentum anymore.

Meanwhile...

Michael's P. O. V

Michael: *spawns at the Spawn Circle* ...

???: You failed. How could you? It was a effort with your friend to kill that human. Yet you failed. Useless. 

Michael: I'm sorry sir...

??: What do we do sir?

???: Let the 3 take care of them. 

That human.... He is something else. Metaphorically and literally. 

Agent 3's P. O. V

Everything has doing well. I've been focusing on the Octostomp but some Inkling super-jumped to it. So, that's a another 3v1. He better make sure he comes here fast.

Agent 3: *shooting the side of the Octostomp*

Then I got a notification. Agent 7 is super-jumping here! Oh thank goodness..

Cristovelle: Carl! Get her now! *screaming at Carl*

Carl: Right! *runs straight at Agent 3*

Agent 3: *sees a radius of Brooks landing space* ... (Wait... He's using the Splashdown?! Great idea!)

Agent 7's P. O. V

I'm in the air. I'm closing in motha suckas!!! Thank god Agent 3 and me are the same color. If she wasn't, she would be a another casualty. 

Agent 3: Come at me! *challenging Carl*

Carl: Die! 

Agent 7: *lands* ... *splatting Carl in the process* 

Here we go. I got the other one too. 2v2. Finally a fair fight. I'm not really gonna worry about the Rubik's cube-looking creature over here. I'm worrying about Cristovelle. But I am impressed. He has skill. But I'm still winning this fight.

Agent 7: Take care of the Octostomp. I'll get the scum up there.

Cristovelle: Who? *jumps at Brooks*

He's trying the "crush me with da Roller tactic" again. He almost died doing it earlier, making sure he won't do that unpunished.

Agent 7: You're still making bad decisions, Cristovelle. *side-steps out of the way*

Then he turned to the Kraken. My guess is right again. He has the Krak-on Roller. Of course he would be using that. I should just become a psychic with how spot-on my predictions are.

Agent 7: Agent 3! Deal with the square quickly! So we can finish this! *throws some Burst Bombs to Cristovelle to slow him down* 

Agent 3: *pops the tentacle for the 2nd time* Okay! I'll have to do this once more! 

Agent 7: (Carp. I have to survive this a bit more... He's laser-focused on me.) *tries to get some distance away from Cristovelle* ...

Then after a bit, he's finally out. Then I heard Agent 3 in my earpiece. 

Agent 3: *talking through the earpiece* Hey! I'll use Inkstrike! He's finally done! 

Agent 7: *throws a Burst Bomb to slow Cristovelle down* ...

Cristovelle: STOP IT! You're dead! *charges at Brooks*

Then the ground glowed, Inkstrike is used. I can just stand here. 

Agent 7: *smirks* Better luck next time. *waves bye*

Then the Inkstrike landed. Making a tornado of ink that disappeared after a few seconds. Probably splatting Cristovelle in the process. If he didn't, he's probably Jesus i'm fighting.

Cristovelle's P. O. V

Cristovelle: *spawns in the spawn circle* GOD DAMN IT! *throws his Roller to the ground*

???: Watch your mouth Inkling. You failed.

Cristovelle: I was so close! *kicks the potted plant*

Agent 7's P. O. V

Finally. He's done. Now I'll just let Agent 3 do the rest. Though 2v1 is better, Agent 3 I feel like is 2 Inklings in one. She's that good. She knows her weapons as well.  

Agent 7: *swims into the ink* I might need a breather.

Le timeskip brought by Brooks hitting Nikki a baseball ball. Multiple times.

Agent 7: *walks up to Agent 3* Nice splattin' there.

Agent 3: Why did you didn't help? 

Agent 7: Because I believe you're more better than me. So i just let you take care of that creature.

Agent 3: Is that a excuse for not fighting?

Agent 7: What if i said yes?

Agent 3: Then you're a bad Agent. Why are you in Squidbeak in the first place?

Agent 7: *chuckles* ...

Agent 3: Whatever you. *breaks the barrier protecting the Zapfish (the little one.)*

Agent 7: *grabs the Zapfish* ...

Agent 3: Hey! I want that! I splatted the Octostomp! 

Agent 7: Okay, fine. Take all the credit.

Le timeskup brought you by Agent 3 trying to reach the Zapfish but couldn't. Brooks is too tall.

At the Outpost...

Brooks: Guys I'm back! 

Callie: You're back! I'm hoping that you silenced it.

Agent 3: Hello.

C. Cuttlefish: That was a piece of cake wasn't it?

Brooks: Some "unwanted visitors" showed up. 

Marie: Huh? What happened?

Brooks: Uhh, Agent 3 will explain to you later...

C. Cuttlefish: Mhmm. Alright. Mission completed, Agent.

Brooks:Oh yeah. I forgot. I guess I was so focused in the battle.

Then I saw Agent 3 giving a weird glare. 

Brooks: A-anyway. I should be going now. My friend are waiting.

Marie: You're doing something today?

Brooks: Uh, no. I just wanna go home now. 

Marie: Oh, fair enough.

Brooks: Okay. I'll go home now.. *walks to the manhole*

Callie: See you tomorrow Brooks!

Brooks: Another mission tomorrow?

Callie: No, I just want you to come by if you have time. 

Brooks: Uh... I'll think about it. *goes into the manhole*

Outside of the manhole...

Brooks: *sighs heavily* Time.... To... Go.. Home. *starts walking back to the apartment*

Woo... That was rough. I can't believe we fought a 2v4 and won. But anyway. I'm hella tired. I wonder what Cross is making for dinner. Shrimp? Fish perhaps? I'm getting hungry...

A-kun: Yay! Finally made a chapter. I mustered up some motivation to write! Anyways, sorry for the "shorter" chapter. I couldn't really put myself in a position to write 2000+ words. So.. I'm out.
