Four looked up, determined.

The giant mechanical bear stood on its hind legs and let out a mighty roar.

Mr. Grizz: You're not welcome here. Please leave. Or else.

Pearl looked at Marina.

Marina: N-no. Mr. Grizz, we heard you are illegally making modified weapons using Golden Salmonoid Eggs.

Mr. Grizz: Ah. That's why you're here? That's nothing compared to what's next.

Eight: "Next"?

Mr. Grizz: Okay then. Employee #8571702, DO YOUR JOB!!!

#8571702: Yes Boss!

The octoling climbed inside the metal bear.

Mr. Grizz: I call this bad boy the B-Bot.

The bear let out another mechanical roar, jumped up in the air, and slammed down with green ink.

Pearl: Wha- huh? Is this Salmonoid Slime?

Marina: Pearl you need to protect me, I can try to hack it.

Pearl rolled her eyes but did so anyway.

Pearl: You three, fight!!!

The B-Bot had some Tenta-Missles on its back. They fired, but launched a bunch of Smallfry instead.

Eight began shooting them with the small ink bursts from her Custom Ink Brush.

Three: Smallfry. Four, try getting behind him!

Agent Four nodded and made a path of ink in front of him.

The B-Bot roared and began charging up.

Pearl: Yo! He's going to tackle! Watch out!

The B-Bot rushed forwards, green slime pouring out its sides.

Three saw this ahead of time and went straight underneath it instead.

Pearl: Marina! HURRY UP!!!

Marina: I'm going as fast as I can!

The B-Bot began shuddering. The golden glow it had around it faded.

Marina: He's vulnerable, GET HIM NOW!!!

#8571702: Not so fast!

The B-Bot was slashing ink from its metal claws.

Three began shooting the B-Bot, and it was doing damage.

Three was getting used to reloading and was getting better and better at doing it faster.

The B-Bot was covered in ink.

Marina: Three! Four! Eight! Use your specials now! Together!

They huddled up and did.

Together, the three of them made a Giant Splat Bomb.

#8571702: I don't get paid enough for thisss-

They hurled the TriBomb at the B-Bot, and a giant inksplosion covered the area.

Marina: Is it over?

The B-Bot was in pieces, and an octoling spirit flew upwards.

Three: That was... surprisingly easy.

A small drone flew down. It had the Grizzco logo on it.

Mr. Grizz: That was merely a prototype and an untrained employee.

Pearl: Oh yeah? Where's your employee now? BOOM!

Everyone laughed.

Mr. Grizz: You laugh now, but as soon as I finish my human army, you're going to regret this. Grizz Out.

The drone flew away.

Everyone was quiet.

Eight: Did. Did he say...

Four: Human?

Pearl: I thought humans were extinct?

Agent 7: They are.

Everyone looked.

Marina: Seven!

Marina hugged Agent Seven.

Eight: Hello! I'm Eight! I love your style.

Pearl: Yeah, it's super fresh.

Four waved and smiled, while three squinted.

Three: You're Cama from Squid News!

Seven: Wha- Hey! SHHHH!!!

Three was about to say that it was night, but she looked up and saw the sun rising.

Four: This place is a mess.

Marina: Don't worry, some Squee-Gs will be out for a daily clean.

Marina: Let's get out of here.

They got back to the headquarters. Cap'n Cuttlefish was inside.

They all walked in, and everyone greeted him.

Marie and Callie: Stay-

Pearl and Marina: -off the Hook!

They all laughed.

Three: So Cama, how did you find out about the Squidbeak Splatoon?

Cama: Well-

Pearl: We met her slightly before you, Eight.

Marina: She came to us, asking about the Squidbeak Splatoon. But uh we had no idea either.

Pearl: So we investigated, met Marie and Callie in the Octo Canyon, and joined. There was nothing to really do because, well you know.

Four: I single-handedly defeated the Octarian Army and DJ Octavio.

Cama cleared her throat and spoke up.

Cama: Sean wanted an interview with Off The Hook. I wanted answers on a rumor. Turns out I was right. I hesitated to join, cause the Marie said I couldn't let Sean know.

Three: Why, Marie?

Marie: It's complicated. We didn't know where the Cap'n was, and we couldn't keep recruiting everyone we meet. Also, Sean would have probably gone and written an article about it. This is kinda a secret, ya know.

Cama: Hehe, yeah. Sean cares more about stories than secrets.

Cama: But I'm here now, and that's all that matters.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Well, besides the fact that Grizzco is doing some fishy business.

Cama: Oh, yeah.
