Chapter 17: A cruel truth.
In Beaker's Depot...
Agent 2: Can you two reach him?
Agent 6: We can't.. What about you?
Agent 2: No.. That's why we ask you.
Agent 5: Of course he turned off his mic! Seriously, what the shell was he thinking?
Cap'n Cuttlefish: I don't know but I got a bad feeling about this.. You two return back to the Cabin first!
Agent 6: Okay! Come on!
They retreat back to Cuttlefish Cabin in Tentakeel Outpost.
Timeskip...
Cap'n Cuttlefish: So what happened to him?
Agent 6: I don't know.. He ran off after that transmission we just received. We didn't listen it clearly but I'm sure that's the source of the problem. You two also receive that, right?
Agent 2: Yeah. We both heard it but the voice still not too clear for us at the last one.
Agent 6: So did he come back here?
Agent 2: Yeah, we ran outside the Cabin as soon as we both heard the footsteps. But we didn't get to see him and he took a Hero Roller with him.
Agent 5: So what should we do?
Cap'n Cuttlefish: He's probably be heading to Sector 4. Investigate there and track him down if you can. Agent 1 already gone missing and we don't wanna lose Agent 3 too. So I'm counting on you two and Agent 2 will be assisting you.
Agent 6: Okay!
Agent 2: You really sure about that?
Cap'n Cuttlefish: I'll be heading to Sector 4 too. I told him not to involve my grandchildren into his childish games. So I'll let him have his way then. Sheldon will be the one who taking care of this place.
Agent 2: Wait! You're not serious, right!?
He stood up and holding his Bamboozler instead of using it as a cane.
Cap'n Cuttlefish: It's time for me to shake a leg before I end up myself in a wheelchair.
Agent 2: Alright. Let's go, Agents!
Agent 5: Okay!
After the discussion, the Agents went outside the Cabin. Agent 5 and Agent 6 upgrade their weapons and Ink tanks with all the power eggs they collected. Cap'n decided to proceed his way on foot while they all super jump back to Sector 3 to continue their mission to the next one, Slimeskin Garrison.
Timeskip... In Slimeskin Garrison.
As the Agents had arrived at the scene, ink were already covered the place and three Zapfishes were wandering around the Sector.
Agent 5: Are those Zapfishes? What're they doing on here?
Agent 2 grabs one of it and inspect for a while then the scene. She figures it out in no time.
Agent 2: He must have cleared three lairs already before we even got here.. Anyway, you two should go investigate one of those cleared Kettles while I do a check-around here.
Agent 6: Agent 2...
Agent 2: I'm fine, just go! We don't have much time left..
Agent 5: You heard her, Marina. Let's just go.
Agent 6: Be safe, okay?
Agent 5 and Agent 6 went on their mission in the 18th kettle, leaving Agent 2 alone in the Sector.
Agent 2: Lai... What did you hear from that?
Timeskip... In 18th Kettle..
Agent 5: Did you find anything there?
The Octo sighs..
Agent 6: No.. Let's head over to the next checkpoint.
Agent 5: Sure thing, Reena.
They both proceed with launchpad to the next area and landed in. Seeing the Squee-G were still fine, cleaning the ink and some battered Octotroopers Vehicles laying on the ground with their ink. There are also two launchpads located around the place, one at the corner end and one on the center.
Agent 6: Wait, I remember this place!
Agent 5: You do?
Agent 6: I was used to be an engineer in developing the flooders around this place.
Agent 5: Wow... Sure's a dope backstory you got there.
Agent 6: If I recall it correctly.. There's an island filled a lot of with them. I wonder if there are still in that island.
Agent 5: Let's check it out then!
Agent 6: Okay!
Agent 5 throws a bomb to lure one of the Squee-G to them so they can ride onto it. They made it onto the center and ride on the launchpad eventually.. They both landed on the island and gasped in horror. They saw all of the flooders were completely destroyed and battered on the ground filled with a pool of its ink. Agent 6 covers her mouth with both hands.
Agent 5: Damn.. Someone must've a grudge against the flooders tho.
Agent 6: C'mon! We gotta report this to Agent 2!
Agent 5: Okay!
She opens her mic and tries to make a contact with Agent 2..
Timeskip...
Agent 2's POV
I was searching for clue left from Agent 4 in 19th Kettle. Wondering why did he left us so sudden and go on alone just himself. I could only saw is the ink tracks left by Agent 4 and there's no sign of the enemy at all around here so clearly he was been here before us. Then, I got a call from the other Agents. I pick up and answer them back.
Agent 2: Agents? Did you find something?
Agent 6: Agent 2! You gotta see this!
Agent 2: Where? What's wrong?
Agent 5: Agent 4 just destroyed all of the flooders in 19th Kettle!
Agent 2: What!? I'm coming! Over!
I hurriedly super jump back to the Kettle as soon as the mic goes off. Heading to the 19th Kettle right now.
Timeskip...
I was heading as fast as I can and rode onto the launchpad to where Agent 5 and Agent 6 are. Then, I end up landing in an island.
Agent 2: Agent 5! Agent 6! Did you find-! Oh my god..
Agent 5: Pretty shocking, right? Someone must hate the flooders so much..
Agent 2: But you sure this is Agent 4's doing?
Agent 6: I don't know. He couldn't singlely-handed down all the flooders just by himself. Sorry for not finding any useful clue..
Agent 2: It's fine, let's return back to the Sector..
They both agreed and we all super jump back to the Kettle in the end..
Meanwhile in 21st Kettle, Moray Tower..
Octoling: Get him!
As the Octolings and the Octosnipers focus their fire on Lai, he dodges it and block some of their attacks with his Roller while inking on the ground with Hero Shot as he charges at one of them. He ruthlessly slashes the Octoling and fires a tons of shots at the others. He deflects one of the charged shots from the Snipers and throws straight at one of them, it ends up splatting the Sniper out and the Roller is now stuck against the wall. He takes care the rest of them with Run Speed Up and his Hero Shot without a sweat. Leaving an Octoling for interrogating.
Lai: Where is she?
Octoling: Like I would tell you!
After hearing his protest, Lai proceeds to whack him with the gun stock of his weapon. Smacking his head until the Octoling finally reveals it to him.
Octoling: Wait, wait! I know where she is!
Lai: Then hurry the shell out!!
Octoling: At the headquarters in Sector 5! It is called Cephalon HQ! Just don't splat me!
He smirks viciously with hatred and rage stored into his heart.
Lai: Oh, I won't do that to you.
Octoling: Really?
Lai walks to the wall where Roller stucked against, he pulls it out and then he walks back, prepares to crush his head with his entire strength by raising the Roller in two-handed.
Octoling: Wait! You said you won't splat me!
Lai: But I didn't say I would let you go. Not after making us suffered and ruining our lives in these days.
Octoling: NO! WAIT!
The Roller strikes down...
*Splat!!!* *Splat!!!* *SPLAT!!!*
He stops after vending his anger on crushing the Octoling's head into minced meat until he's splatted, he then continues on saving the 8 Mini Zapfish as the course is all cleared.
"Please wait for me.."
End Of Chapter...
