Sector 1, Tentakeel Outpost.

The Great Zapfish finally lands on where the Agent's hideout is. The Squid Sisters both jump down before the Great Zapfish takes off again and circling around the sky above the Sector, Callie carries the blue Inkling back to the Cabin with in his Squid Form resting in her arms. Marie follows up and pulls out a double mattress from the storage room. Callie slowly puts him on it and pulls the cover on him. Marie throws the suggestion for her cousin.

Marie: Callie, I'm going back home and bring some clothes for you to change.

Callie: Thanks, Marie. Maybe later. We should wait for the others to come back.

She nods as she gets her point..

Marie: Yeah.. I know what you're thinking.. Of course I'll do that later..

The black-haired beauty smiles at her. Then, she notices her pendant still hanging on his neck together with his.

Callie: Marie, was Lai wearing it all the time?

Marie: Ah yeah..! He said he would wear it so he could return it back to you once we find you. He even made a promise with your manager.

Callie: Tanaka-san? What's he doing?

Marie: He missed you a lot when you're not around. He had searched all around the Inkopolis for your whereabout. And not only him, everyone do the same and worried about you.

Callie: Is that so..? I'm glad then..

She stares at the pendant as she's holding it.

Callie: So.. Can I have it back?

Marie: Sure. Lai would be happy if you have your pendant back.

Callie: Thanks..

Marie: So.. Wanna go back home after all of this?

Callie: Uhm...

She stares at Lai who's currently fell asleep on the maitress.

Callie: Maybe later.. I kinda don't have the feel of going back right now so I'm staying with him.

Marie: Whatever Cal.. Feel free to ask me if you wanna as long as I'm here for you.

Callie: Okay.. *smile*

Marie smiles back as she sits at the porch and they both watch the sky while waiting the others to come.

Timeskip... Night.

The truck slowly lands on Sector 1. Octavia and Off The Hook jump down and move out the snow globe from the truck which imprisoned Octavio in it. Cap'n Cuttlefish gets off from the truck and heads to the Cabin where Marie's sitting on the porch. The Green Inkling stands up..

Marie: Gramps!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Are you okay, Agent 2? And how's Agent 1 and Agent 3 doing?

Marie: We all fine.. Thanks to Agent 4.. Callie and I got all over it. He's sleeping right now.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Glad to hear it..

Their conversation got cut off by Agent 5 who's complaining the weight of the Snow Globe.

Agent 5: Hey! Where are we putting it!? It's so heavy!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Just put him over that corner. Agent 2.. May I tell you something else?

Marie: What's wrong?

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I had done a checking on his body before we left. His limbs.. All of his limbs were broken so his whole body is now disabled from moving and he's currently in coma right now.

Callie overhears it as she's taking care of Lai and shocked after that..

Callie: !?

Marie: What!? How's that possible!?

Cap'n Cuttlefish: The blows and the destruction that caused by Agent 3. I saw it everything. It showed that how much he hated him. I afraid is, if Octavio is in his sight again. Agent 3 might take him out for sure without thinking out twice.

Marie shrugs...

Marie: Why would we care? He deserves it.. A lot for breaking us up!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: What about your cousin? And remember what happened in the toy factory during our mission? She doesn't wish to see her boyfriend gets his hand dirty at all.

Marie: *sigh* Yeah.. For Callie..

Callie: Then, what should we do?

Cap'n Cuttlefish: His limiter is still broken. He might loses control by his emotion once he sees him. We have to fix it somehow.

Callie: How..?

Agent 6: Maybe a song that could fix it up?

Marie: Just.. How? How is that even possible?

Agent 6: Well, remember how I got out from the Octarian army and ended up meeting with Pearl?

Callie: Wait! You mean..!?

The Octo nods with an innocent grin..

Agent 6: Yeah.. Calamari Inkantation. That heavenly melody. A song somehow frees the spirit who had lived in the underground for too long. But..

Marie: What is it? Just tell me already.

Agent 6: I don't feel it would work on fixing the limiter. Since the Calamari Inkantation was sung by you two. My suggestion is to create a new one only by the Squid Sisters.

Cap'n twists his beards..

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Hm.. It really does make sense. Perhaps it's the voices what makes the song magical.

Marie: You think we can do this?

Cap'n Cuttlefish: *nod* I trust you two can do this!

Marie: Callie? You think so?

Callie nods to her cousin..

Callie: If this is the only way to help him, I'm willing to do it.

Agent 5: Yeah! Give it a try, Callie! We haven't celebrate your return yet so we'll do that after that.

Agent 6: But it's night time. Everyone's probably should be sleeping at this time. And shouldn't we release the Zapfishes?

Agent 5: Yeah! Let's do it!

Agent 5 rushes to the Aquarium where all the Zapfishes are. She opens up and all 30 Zapfishes got released. The Agents are now watching them flying with the Great Zapfish like glowflies shining bright in the night sky.

Octavia: Whoa...

Callie: I wish Lai could see this..

She turns around and sees Marie was holding her phone. Filming the whole scene..

Marie: Need you to say?

Callie: Thanks.. ^^

As they had gone far away from their view and heading to the Inkopolis. Agent 5 speaks up.

Agent 5: Okay! Since we had saved the city and that little carp went into coma! We don't have to worry about being ranted by him for a while! So focus on taking care on Agent 4!

Callie: Thanks everyone.

Agent 5: Booyah!

Agent 6: Wait, what about Octavia?

Agent 5: Oh yeah.. Well, she's coming with us!

Octavia: Uhm... Are you sure?

Agent 5: Well yeah! I still have a spare room for you to stay so that's settled!

Agent 6: Oh well, see you all! Hope he recovers as soon as possible!

Marie: And I'll be back with your clothes soon. Wait for me, Cal!

Callie: Be safe then!

Agent 5: Home sweet home! Here we come!

Marie, Octavia and Off The Hook all enter the Manhole back to Inkopolis. Only left is Callie, Lai and Cap'n Cuttlefish. Cap'n decides to give her some space for Lai.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I'll place my mattress on the other side of the table. Sleep well, you two..

Callie: Okay, Gramps.

She gently places her hand onto his face who's still sleeping.

Callie: Now it's just the two of us.. Lai.

She plants her kiss onto his cheek before she sits back at the porch. Waiting for her cousin. She stares at the moon that shines in the night sky during the meantime.

Timeskip... 11:00pm

*Blop*

Marie: Oh? You haven't sleep yet, Callie?

Callie: No.. I can't with this outfit on. Lai doesn't want me to show too much skin. Plus, I'm not getting used to this.

Marie: Don't worry. I have your clothes. Just get yourself change and I decided to stay here for a while before going back.

Callie: Thanks.

She grabs her white shirt with a black undershirt, her pink hoodie and a pair of black shorts. Then, she heads to the storage room with her clothes since that's the only room where she can change. Her cousin also brought her a pair of brown heeled shoes with pink socks, earrings and the same pink beanie with a yellow star that Callie always wear as her casual outfit. As Marie places her shoes outside and waits her at the porch in the meantime, Callie finished changing and grabbed her beanie. She joins up with her cousin.

Callie: Much better..

Marie: Yeah.. That outfit's kinda pretty killer tho.

Callie: Don't mention that again. I don't wanna think about that at all.

Marie: Sorry.. That must be a trauma for you two. I'm sure you and him will pull up together in the end. But hey...

Callie: Hm?

Marie: Do you hate him?

Callie: ...Well..

She wonders it a bit.. Then, she answers.

Callie: I don't know.. I don't feel it at all as my mind were focusing on Lai..

Marie: I do.. But I don't feel it anymore after that fight. Somehow, I just feel it was all Lai's doing. Like it was him who absorbed away my hatred and cured our emotions after what he had said before he fell asleep.

Callie: Yeah.. He wants us to be together. But we didn't because of our careers had splitted us up.

Marie: But glad you don't feel it. You're pure as always..

Callie: Thanks.. And glad to know that we're fine right now.

They both smile as they view the moon and Star-gazing together like they always do during their childhood in Calamari region. Callie suddenly tell her something..

Callie: Marie, actually.. That question you asked.. Octavia had asked me once during the time I was with her alone.

Marie: What did she said?

Callie: She said she doesn't feel the hate towards Inklings tho. Instead, she wanted to live with them and explore a world where the sunlight shines down the city. And I told her that hating someone or something else was kinda pointless tho. Otherwise, why we're still here together. Watching the city from a far on the saucer?

Marie: Yeah, I totally get what you mean.

Callie: But thanks to her. I was able to give you the answer.

Marie: Yeah, all thanks to her.. But now.. What should we do tomorrow?

Callie: Well.. Let's get some sleeps first. We'll do that tomorrow.

Marie: Okay..

They both stand up as Marie is about to leave. Both of the Squid Sisters form into a hug before saying good night to each other. Marie gives out a kiss onto her cousin's lips that it surprises Callie. Then, she kisses back with sister's passion.

Marie: I love you, Callie. 💚

She replies back with a grin..

Callie: I love you too, Marie. 💜

They both then break the kiss and separate from their hug. Marie enters the Manhole back to Inkopolis while Callie goes back to Cuttlefish Cabin to join up with her faithful Inkling in his sleep.
