Sector 4, Slimeskin Garrison.

*Blop*

After done searching in 21th Kettle, I pop out from the grate and return back to the Sector. Meeting up with Agent 5 and Agent 6 again for the updates they found.

Agent 2: You find anything?

Agent 6: Still nothing useful.. Only his ink left on the track. But looks like he had cleared the 18th and 20th Kettle as well.

Agent 5 notices something..

Agent 5: Hey look! More Zapfishes coming our way!

Agent 2: Huh?

Two Zapfishes are springing themselves to them happily.

Agent 2: Seems like he had cleared another two Kettles.

Agent 6: But we still couldn't track him down..

Agent 5: Let's keep these back in the Aquarium first!

Agent 6: Yeah, we should get prepared before heading back to the mission.

Agent 5: But anyway, where's Cap'n?

Agent 6: Still on his way perhaps?

Agent 2: Let's go back and see how Sheldon's doing first. (Please don't tell me he got himself squidnapped again...) 😒

Agent 6: Okay!

The Agents super jump back to their hideout in Tentakeel Outpost.

Timeskip...

Sheldon: Oh! You girls are back!

Agent 2: Hey Sheldon. How's it going?

He pointed at the Squid Sisters's stage truck over there for them.

Sheldon: I just parked my truck over there, just in case if something's happen.

Agent 2: Uhm... Thanks. And where's Cap'n?

Sheldon: Oh! I saw him going back to the Cabin and seems like he's tired tho.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Ohoy! Agents!

Agent 2: I thought you were going out..

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Sorry, I'd expect that I could handle this but I'm so far from young right now. Gotta rest my Cuttlefish bones here.

Agent 2: You need to rest, Gramps. We got this.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Yeah... You found Agent 3 yet?

Agent 2: No.. He had cleared 5 lairs in Sector 4 all by himself and we still couldn't get a hold of him.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Geez... What was he thinking? Acting all recklessly all of a sudden..

Agent 5: Only if we can try to replay that transmission.

Agent 6: Hm... Maybe I can try to hack into the radio and replay that message.

Agent 2: You do? I never knew about it.

Agent 6: I guess I still got some experience during my time in the military. And I might need a hand here, Agent 5. This gonna need some time tho.

Agent 5: Alright!

Agent 6 takes out her hacking device and plugs it into the wireless transmission radio.

5 minutes later...

Agent 6: Alright! Now we can replay the last transmission again. And also I had turned the voice much clearer than the last time so it'll be much better for us to hear who is it.

Agent 2: Well, let's hear it!

The Agents turn on their mic in their headset and the transmission starts to play in clear voice. At first, it was a low voice and the word still not too clear for them to hear. Next, Lai replies it in curiously. Then, the voice became more louder and they all hear it. This time, it was Agent 2 recognizes it immediately. Her panic start rising up after listening to her cousin and she gasps as her hand covers her mouth..

Agent 2: Cal... Callie!? That's Callie!! No.. This can't be true!

All: WHAT!?!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: You serious right now!? You sure you listen carefully!?

Agent 2: It all makes sense now... That's why he ran off and destroyed all the Flooders while on his way..

Agent 5: Wait! What are you talking about?

Agent 2: Don't you get it!? She hates Flooders so-! He did it for her... Cod, I should've know about that sooner or later...

The Leader pumps the floor with his cane..

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Damn it! That old piece of carp! I told him not to involve my grandchildren!

Agent 2: Calm down, gramps! Agent 1 and Agent 4 will be fine! He's gonna save her and we're going to as well!

She held him down on the floor until he finally calms. Then, she grabs her "Best Friend" and commands her other two Agents.

Agent 2: C'mon! Let's go end this once and for all!

Agent 5: Right back at ya!

They all super jump back to Sector 4 well-prepared..

Timeskip... Slimeskin Garrison..

After they landed, Agent 2 notices a stream of blue ink just flashed from the launchpad.

Agent 2: Wait!

Agent 6: What's wrong?

Agent 2: He's heading to Sector 5. He must have cleared the Boss Kettle this time.

Agent 5: Okay seriously.. How did he do that?

Agent 6: I don't know... But he's really missed her so much tho.

Agent 2: *sigh* This is not gonna end well.. C'mon, we gotta hurry!

Three Agents head their way to the launchpad and super jump to the next Sector with it.

Timeskip...

They landed in Sector 5, Cephalon HQ. The deepest part in Octo Canyon. Under their platform was an ocean of purple ink and a lot of Octarian saucers flying around the Sector. Agent 5 looks down the ocean and then around the Sector for the Kettles.

Agent 5: Uhm... Where are the Kettles?

Agent 6: Wait! I think I saw Agent 4!

Agent 2: Where?

Agent 6: Over there!

She points out at the Kettle that Agent 4 just went in where it located on invisible platform that accessible only with Ink rails.

Agent 2: Good.. So now we have to clear the others too. Split up and meet back at here once you had done retrieving all the Zapfishes!

Agent 6: Will do!

Agent 5: You can count on us!

The Agents separate into two groups. Agent 5 with Agent 6 while Agent 2 goes on alone with her "Best Friend" in her hand. She jumps onto the saucers to continue her mission.

End Of Chapter...
