"Thank you Blue Team!" The five octolings thanked the group. Hachi,Nana,Afro,Ponytail and (Y/N) escaped from the deepseametro with the help of Team Blue, Rider and Cap'n Cuttlefish. Oh, not to mention Off The Hook as well. "What do we do now?" Nana put a finger on her chin, "We don't have any place to stay at the moment..". (Y/N) nodded, "Yeah, we don't." Goggles gasped, "Oh! You're right! Weeell... Weeee caaaaan.. Let you all stay over with us!" He suggested. "Goggles are you sure about that? I mean.. More then half of us don't have any extra rooms for them." Headphones sweat. "Aw.. Maybe they can stay with the S4 for a while!" Goggles spoke. "The S4?! No way! Goggles, There's no way they would even think about it!" Specs facepalmed. "Plus, they're probably busy with.. Whatever they do." "Oh come on! I bet they do! Aloha could maybe accept!" Goggles pouted.

"You called?~♪" Speak of the devil, there he was. The 52.Gal user slid over to the group. "Ah, so you're Aloha?" Hachi tilted his head to the side. "Yep! The freshest squid on the block." He confidently pumped his chest. "So, what do ya need?" "Well.. You see, these Octoli-" Headphones got cut off by Aloha, "Octolings?! That's new!" He said, he only just noticed that there were octolings and that Hachi, an octoling, literally asked him something. "Oh right- They don't know-." Specs sweatdropped before sighing, "Look, these octolings don't mean any harm, And they have no place to stay at the moment. So Goggles thought it was a good idea if they stayed over at your, or anyone else from the S4's place." He explained, not expecting any positive answer. "Weeeeell, Since my house is pretty big, considering i throw a lot of parties and all, i have about two guest rooms! Army should have at least one, Skull.. Uh.. We'll have to see on that, and Mask... I'd doubt Mask would have one. But we can check. ♫" Aloha responded. Goggles smiled widely, "Yayyyy! Let's go see them right now then!" He said while popping a pickled plum in his mouth.

(Y/N) scooted over to Goggles, "Ooh, can i try one?" "Sure thing!" Goggles said as he passed one to the male octoling, but in result, he somehow ended up losing his jar of pickled plums.
The jar was rolling away at a fast pace, causing both Goggles and (Y/N) to chase after it. The others just followed behind since they were going to see the rest of the S4 anyway, and hope that Goggles wouldn't end up in Grizzco nor the deepseametro again. Our heroes ended up catching up to the jar of pickled plums near a table, where coincidentally, Mask,Skull and Army were seated, waiting for Aloha to show up. "Ah, Goggles. Hello." Army greeted. "Hey." Skull waved, picking up the jar on the ground filled with Goggles' pickled plums. "Heeey gimmeeee!" Goggles pouted before taking that back and popping a plum into his mouth. Mask gasped, "Waaaaait- Is thaaat an octoooling?" He pointed at the male octoling standing next to Goggles who was eating his snack. "..Hm? Oh, Yes, i Am. My name is (Y/N), it is nice to be meeting you!" He put out his hand for a handshake. Though to no surprise no one really shook it.

Accept for one person. The one wearing the orange beret, shook his hand and introduced himself, "I am Army. Member of the S4. This is Mask and Skull. Our fourth member doesn't seem to be here right now." Mask seemed a bit skeptical of this. An Octarian in Inkopolis? Never heard of before. It's going to take a while to adjust if there were going to be more Octarians in the Square. "..Is that a new hairstyle?" Skull asked the (I/C) colored octoling. "Uhm.. Perhaps?" He tilted his head to the side, which was oddly cute.

"Yooooo, I'm hereeeee!~♫" A familiar figure called. It was Aloha. "Ah. There you are. What took so long?" Army crossed his arms impatiently. "Ahah, Well.." The party animal put a finger on his chin. "Goggles! Don't repeat the same mistake again! Sheesh.." Headphones was worn out after running for a while in order to catch up. So were Bobble and Specs. The other Octoling arrived. "Mooore Octolings? This is neeeew." Mask commented. "Okay sooo, Goggles and friends asked me if these Octolings could stay over at our place until they find their own place to live, ya dig? I have about two guest rooms, so i can take two, but i dunno about you guys." Aloha out one hand on his hip. "Ah, is that so? Well. I only have one spare room left. The rest are taken by my teammates." Army answered. "Uhhh. I'd say i have two spare rooms for them." "No waaay i have a spare room." Mask simply shrugged. Well, at least Team Hachi and (Y/N) had a place to stay for the time being. "Yayyyy!~" Bobble cheered. "Great!! I knew they would accept!" Goggles widely smiled. "That was unexpected honestly.." Specs sighed in relief, "Well,it's good you all have a place to stay."

After some talking, everyone decided to go back home since it was getting late. Nana and Hachi were going with Skull, and Afro and Ponytail were coming with Aloha. Mask didn't really have a spare room, but wouldn't care anyway. He was skeptical of the Octarians. Since they were enemies in the great turf war and all. (Y/N) was going with Army. "..Army? What's your team like?" The curious octoling asked. "Hm. They're great teammates. We use several strategies that i write down in my SquidNet Manual." He answered. "..And then we have the S4. Me being included, Skull, Mask and Aloha. We're strong together. We know how to handle everything as an S+ ranker." "S+? Is that.. A place you get put in?" The octoling was confused. "Oh, no, It's a rank. The highest. Erm, well, The highest rank is X rank. S+ is just a bit below." Army cleared up. "Ah a rank.. That seems important. Ranks are important in the Octarian army too." (Y/N) said.

The two arrived at Army's house, upon entering, Three inkling were just chilling in the living room. They were all startled at the sight of an Octarian. "Captain! That's—" A girl spoke up. "I'm aware. He doesn't mean any harm." Army cleared up, adjusting his tie a bit. "Oh.. Understood." The three inklings nodded. "I'm Forge, pleased to meet you!" Forge spoke up and gave her hand to shake. The male nodded, "I am (Y/N), It's nice to meet you as well!" He introduced as he returned the handshake. After talking to his teammates for a bit, they all went to bed. The (I/C) octoling was escorted to his room and was able to use some spare clothes. Even then, he wasn't planning on sleeping yet. He decided to just explore the house for a bit, hoping to find access to the roof or a balcony would be nice to finally observe the stars. After all, the Octarians lived underground, making it very difficult to ever see real stars or the night sky. After somehow finding a ladder that leads to the roof, the Octoling sat down and wrapped his arms around his knees. 'So these are.. 'Stars' as they say.. They look beautiful.' He thought to himself before humming that heavenly melody. It was imprinted in his mind. The melody he could never forget, Calamari Inkantation.

It set him free from the wills of his commander, Octavio, and chose to flee with Hachi, Nana, Pony and Afro.

"Ya weni marei mirekyarahire~♫"
"Juri yu mirekerason~♫"
"Kire hyari yoriherahe nyurahera~♫"
"Nunnyura unera yurawera nyimerani~♫"

That special night, the live concert of Agent 3 against Octavio, changed everything for so many Octarians. More then half of them tried to escape, but some didn't make it, or worse,.. Were blended to nothing but zombies used for tests.

"Chopperipo shurashurafe..~"
"Nannyurunire nifaferahi~"
"Nannyuruni weranira shuraharahi~"
"Nyurunirehara fe fe fe!~"

Marina Ida.. Did she make it out safe and sound? She took the route to Mount Nantai which was the safest route out of all of them. What about Takari? Komaru? Where did his comrades go? His closest friends next to Team Hachi. They could be dead, they could've been captured by Octavio again, They could've.. Became sanitized. A tear managed to escape his eyes, it hurt, remembering that so many Octarians couldn't of made it to safety. (Y/N) struggled to continue singing, remembering everything before getting here was sad. A particular orange inkling was behind the male octoling, He scanned the male before him. Was he crying? A moment ago he was singing Calamari Inkantation. Army slowly walked over to (Y/N) and hugged him from behind. It seemed a little weird to him, seeming as he never really hugged anyone before. He was flustered, definitely. The (I/C) Octarian slightly turned his head to look at who was hugging him, seeing it was Army, all he could do was smile and turn around completely to hug him back.
