"Hunter? Are you up? We're gonna be late for the first turf wars match!" Serena called, knocking on Hunter's bedroom door.
"Ugh, not today Serena. Go on without me. I'm not feeling well." Hunter groaned in response. He truly did feel sick, and didn't plan on leaving bed at all.
"Okay, feel better!" Serena responded. Hunter listened to her footsteps as she got ready until he finally heard the front door open and close.
Should I even bother going to the Octo Valley? I'll probably do terrible, but maybe I can try an easy mission, he thought to himself, sitting up in bed. His phone buzzed on his nightstand, and he reached over only to find that it was a text from Cuttlefish.
"'Ahoy! Where are ya, Agent 3?' Oh crap, he needs me. Guess I'll go." Hunter decided. He quickly gathered his gear and slipped out of the window. He made his way cautiously to the manhole and slipped inside. Hunter threw on his gear and met up with the Cap'n.
"Ah! Good you're here! I have a mission for you! I want you to go to this location, it doesn't have many guards so it should be an easy mission." Cuttlefish explained, pointing to a kettle.
"Got it!" Hunter nodded and tried to hold in a cough. Once he'd reached the area he was infiltrating, he broke into a coughing fit. He had to hide in his ink for a few minutes to take a breather. Once he was all set, he went about his normal routine. Splat octarians, find the zapfish. As he was looking around, he noticed a suspicious trail of green ink, his current color, that he didn't remember leaving. All of a sudden, as if on cue, Serena popped up with a giant grin on her face.
"Gah?! Serena?! W-what're you doing here?!" Hunter gaped.
"Oh just here to give you a hand! I saw you go down here and decided to check out what you were up to and wow! A secret agent!" Serena replied, still smiling. She was wearing the same gear and using the same weapon as Hunter.
"Serena, did Cuttlefish send you down?" Hunter asked, concerned.
"Yup! He said that I'll be called Agent 4, and that you're Agent 3! Why didn't you tell me before?" Serena was starting to shout, and that could bring unwanted attention, which is the opposite of what they wanted in an octarian infested zone.
"Sh! Serena be quiet! You're going to give us away!" Hunter shushed his sister, shoving her into their ink and diving after her just as an octoling ran by. Hunter and Serena finished off the mission and successfully saved the zapfish. When they returned to Cuttlefish they, specifically Hunter, were yelled at for attempting a mission while sick. They were sent home and told not to come back until they were both healthy. Hunter wouldn't admit this but he was very relieved that he could get some much needed rest. Serena just continued playing regular turf war matches in place of missions, but she wanted more adventure and excitement.
