At 7:00am, at Suction-Cup Lookout.. The second sector in Octo Canyon.

As Agent 2 and I landed and arrived to the destination,we saw Agent 5 and Agent 6 were there waiting for us.

Agent 5: Man, these gloves are too hot. Maybe I should change after this.

Agent 6: Ah, here they are!

They both stood up and meet up with us.. Agent 5 crossed her arms...

Agent 5: What took you guys so long?

Lai: Testing out new weapons that Sheldon had gave to us.

Agent 5: Whatever.. Anyway, where should we start our first mission?

Agent 6: I guess there are several invisible kettles had located around this area. We should be able to uncover it with our ink, then it will take you to the Octarian's lair once you enter it.

Lai: Eh? How did you know?

Agent 6: I don't know... I'm a bit familiar with the Octarian's technology.

Agent 2: Well, that saves up our breath tho. Let's go and grab the Zapfishes back. Then, we all meet up in here again once all 6 of them had been gathered. You hear me?

All: *nod* Right!!

Agent 5: I'm with 6!

Lai: Then, I'm with Agent 2..

Agent 2: You sure you two okay with this?

Agent 6: We will.. As long as Agent 5 is with me..

Lai: Okay, we trust you both. Just be safe and don't forget to turn on your mic..

Agent 5: You can count on us!

The four of us were splitted up into two teams and both headed to different kettles. Agent 2 and I went to the 6th kettle, Octozeppelin Invasion, while Agent 5 and Agent 6 went to the 5th one, The Octopark.

Agent 2: I really hope they both were safe in the end..

Lai: Me either, especially Agent 5... I'm worried that she can't even dodge roll properly with her Dualies..

She giggles..

Agent 2: Maybe she's a beginner?

Lai: We'll never know..

We both turn into Squid Form and enter the kettle..

Timeskip...

*Spawn*

Agent 5: Whoa! This place ain't half bad at all!

Agent 6: We're actually in the underworld where the Octarians were living.

Suddenly, they both mic turned on as they got call from the other two Agents..

Lai: Hello? You girls hear me?

Agent 6: Yes.

Agent 5: Loud and clear!

Agent 2: Nice.. Proceed with caution and don't get cooked by those Octoslobs..

Agent 5: Don't worry! As long as we stay Off The Hook!

Lai: Good luck then.

After the call got hung up, Agent 2 chuckles to herself...

Agent 2: I think our catchphrase was better.

Lai: You think so?

Agent 2: What do you think?

I reply to her with a grin..

Lai: Well, we will always be staying fresh as long as we don't get cooked by those slobs.

She claps her hand and rolls her eyes..

Agent 2: Well said, Agent 4...

Lai: *sigh* C'mon, both of them are great.

She notices a drone with a suitcase that sent by Sheldon was flying around the lair as she looks around...

Agent 2: Hm?

Lai: What's wrong?

Agent 2: Look over there!

Lai: Huh?

The drone starting to head towards us and drops the suitcase. Then, I opened it and a Hero Charger was stored inside of it.

Lai: Charger? But I already had the Hero Shot..

Agent 2: I guess this was used for the Grapplink over there.

I look at the Grapplink on the other side of the platform.

Lai: Looks like I'll use the Charger for a while..

I strap my Hero Shot behind my back and equipped the Hero Charger in my hand. I aim at the Grapplink as I start storing a full charge shot.

Agent 2: You know you still can use your Hero Shot as your secondary weapon.

Lai: Yeah, I knew that very clear..

I fired the shot and it hits the Grapplink directly, the ink drags me straight to it and landed on the other side. Agent 2 did the same as well. We proceed our way by sniping the Grapplink until we encounter a huge blimp called Octozeppelins.

Agent 2: I wonder if those Octozeppelins have a weak point...

Lai: Mind if you look up at the top of the blimp?

I pointed out for Agent 2 as I spotted a tentacle at the top of the Octozeppelin.

Lai: I guess that's the weak point..

Agent 2: Nice finding.

Lai: And also, I spotted an armor at the front and a Grapplink at above. You should go first and support me from up there.

Agent 2: Will do.

She snipes at the Grapplink while I blasted one of the Octozeppelins. Next, she covers me from above while I went to grab the armor. Then, I aim and snipe the Grapplink immediately before getting hit by the Octozeppelin.

Agent 2: Slick, squid.

Lai: Thanks.. We had been talking a lot during our mission..

Agent 2: *chuckles* Oh? Were we? I didn't saw that one coming..

Lai: Because we had gotten used to it..

Agent 2: At least we liven up the atmosphere.

Lai: Since when did you started to sound more like Callie?

She winks at me..

Agent 2: Well, I thought I could cheer you up with that way.

Lai: *sigh* Let's just go... Hope those two were fine on their mission.

We both ride on the launchpad and proceed to the next checkpoint..

Meanwhile... With Agent 5 and Agent 6...

Agent 5: Hey, Marina! Check out these Ink Rails! This is so much fun!

Agent 6: Uhm... Shouldn't we focus our mission here? And don't call out my name too loud. Some Octarians might recognize me. ><"

Agent 5: C'mon, it can't be that bad! Plus, we already had took out all the slobs so no one's here except us!

Agent 6: But we got work to do in our studio so we can't be late for that!

Agent 5: Oh yeah, good point there. Let's go and retrieve the Zapfish already!

Agent 6: (Oh, Pearlie...)

They both ride on the ink rails to proceed and splatting some Octarians on their way.

Timeskip...

As we had arrived at the Checkpoint 2 after getting the Sardinium component. Agent 2 stopped as we both just hear a rocket noise.

Lai: ?

Agent 2: I don't like the sound of that...

I look up and saw a wall of 10 Octomissiles just passing through our sight.

Lai: Yeah and I don't like the look of that...

We proceed and snipe the Grapplink to access to the upper platform. I break the boxes to acquire some Power eggs. Agent 2 looks up at the Octomissiles..

Agent 2: Great, how are we gonna get past that?

I snipe at something and it summons a long trail with our ink..

Agent 2: What're you doing?

Lai: I just sniped the Ink grind rail below the platform.. Maybe you can take the rail and I'll take the main road.

Agent 2: Why not ride on the rail together? We should be able to avoid all the missiles in that way.

Lai: Just in case there's a vault which contains the launchpad. It'll be a pain for us to find the key if there is..

Agent 2: Okay.

We sniped another Grapplink and went to take cover from the Octomissiles.. Agent 2 took a peek and duck back after she noticed there's a vault from afar.

Agent 2: Guess you were right..

Lai: Told you.. Ready?

Both of our legs were stood up.. Preparing to charge once the wall passes through us.

Agent 2: Go!

I went to the right side and Agent 2 went left. She jumps off the platform and lands on the rail perfectly. Then, she snipes the box which contains the key and revealing it to me. I dash to there to grab the key, then acquire a set of armor for Agent 2 and a Sting Ray canned special. As another wall of Octomissiles had shot out from the rocket dispensers. I grabbed out my Hero Shot with left hand and blasted one of the missiles to created a gap to pass through. Then, I create an ink lane with my Hero Charger and swim along it and Agent 2 just landed in front of me.

Agent 2: You okay?

Lai: Yeah.. I got another armor set for you.

Agent 2: And I had got the scroll thanks to you. Feel free to read it if you want.

Lai: Thanks..

She handed me the scroll before she wears the armor that I just gave to her. Then, I unlock the vault and the launchpad had shown.

Lai: C'mon, let's go.

Before I ride onto it, I turned around and saw Agent 2 was staring up at the sky, listening to the song called "Shooting Starfish." By Turquoise October.

Lai: What's wrong?

Agent 2: That song... Can you recognize the voice?

I stared up at the sky and we both stood there, listening to the song sung with a very familiar voice for a couple of minutes. Then, I reply to her as I confirmed it..

Lai: It was Callie... Wasn't it?

She nods as a yes..

Agent 2: Such a nice voice she had, that I missed it so much since after the last Splatfest... It was such a waste since she became a TV Actress.

Lai: Yeah... I only get to hear it from her solo music.

She walks up to me..

Agent 2: Will you do me a favor?

I nod as an okay.. She hugs me and cries a bit.. I hug back to console her..

Agent 2: Please bring her back fast.. I don't wanna let anything happens to her.. I know I asked a lot from you since our first met but please.. Find her..

Lai: ...

Agent 2: Agent 4? Lai?

Lai: I will.. But promise me one thing..

Agent 2: Huh? What is it?

Lai: Let's go for another trip back to Calamari with just the three of us after all this.. Deal?

She nods..

Agent 2: Deal..

I reach my hand to her face, wiping off the tears away with my thumb. I smile and say softly to her.

Lai: I knew you couldn't stop thinking about her. But you're not the only one..

She chuckled...

Agent 2: Hehe... So glad I'm not alone here.. So glad that I still have you..

We broke the hug...

Lai: Come on, Marie. Let's go get the Zapfish already...

Agent 2: *nod* Right... Thanks Lai..

Lai: And now we're on the same boat, aren't we?

She smiles and chuckles...

Agent 2: We always be..

I chuckle back and smile...

Lai: Yeah, true... We always be..

We rode the launchpad...

End Of Chapter...

Bonus,

Meanwhile...

I stopped before we enter the kettle back to Suction-Cup Lookout with the Zapfish..

Agent 2: Hm? What's wrong?

Lai: Why do I have a bad feeling for recruiting those two idols. I really don't know what they're doing right now..

Agent 2: They're probably still riding on the ink rails..
