Soup came over to the house later on. He made it at nighttime and was completely shocked at the news. "Ok, so there was a giant UFO in the sky that came and destroyed everything for no sudden reason and sole the Great Zap fish." he said making sure we were clear.

"The big question is...why? The Great Zapfish is what powers all of Inkopolis. What could they possibly want with it?" Riley asked.

"The spaceship said something about taking back what was theirs and remembering the 100 year war." I said eating an piece of Octo pie.

I honestly don't know what I like about these things. If it wasn't for Lucas, I never would have liked these things. Riley says they taste better raw, but that's another story...

KNOCK KNOCK!

"IT'S SHARL!" Riley beamed.

She went to the door and opened it. The squid kid who was seen had orange hair like mines, but more wavy and out of place. She had on a rainbow tee with rainbow shoes. Her studio headphones were like mines, but lighter. She wasn't wearing her headphones at first because she was talking to someone.

"You guys are done already? I know, but you guys didn't say when....hopefully I'll see you later. I have a real issue on my hands. ...Alright, Jack, Millie, I'll see you guys later." Sharl said sighing hanging up her I-Squid 7c, the only phone that almost every squid kid has.

"RILEY!" she beamed.

"SHARL!" Riley said in a booming voice. "You can come in."

"Thanks!" she smiled. She looked at Soup and made starry eyes. "OH MY GOSH! SOUP, IS THAT YOU?! YOU'RE LIKE...THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON ON INKSTA!"she looked back at Riley. "Riley, you didn't tell me he was your friend too!"she looked at me, Lucas, and Riley. "So you guys are like...becoming rising stars am I right?"

We all sweat dropped. "I guess you could say that." I beamed.

"Sharl, meet Mindy and Lucas." Riley beamed. Sharl looked at me. "I think I remember seeing you somewhere....have we met before?" she asked.

"I...don't think so-"

"Ooh I know you, Mindy! ....you're the one who kept spawn killing me yesterday! Aren't you two also the ones who barely survived the UFO's attacks?" she asked.

We both nodded our heads. "Well, the name's Sharl, and I think I have some info that'll help you. The people you just saw back there call themselves the Octarians. I have no idea why they stole the Great Zap fish, but I think it may be because of their fear of....extinction."

"WHAT?!" we all asked concerned. How does this girl even know this?

"I also think their blaming us for it. It had something to do with the 100 year war. My great grandpa told me this because he was also in the war. They live in a place called Octo Valley. I heard that place is a complete mess! I almost feel sorry for them."

"Where exactly is Octo Valley, Sharl?" I asked.

"Well...the entrance to it is here in Inkopolis! You'll see a sewer pipe near the Battle Lobby. You can't miss it because it's beside a drink machine.I saw something creepy down there...so you wouldn't want too close to the pipe."

A shiver went down my spine. "Don't tell me we have to go...in a sewer...ugh..."

"It's the only way. I've seen you guys in battle and I think you've got what it takes to stand up to those octo jerks." Sharl smiled. "If I had to do something like this, I'd certainly be up for the challenge...."

Sharl pulled out her phone. "If you need me for any other information, you know who to call! Hey, Soup...you mind following me on Inksta? That would increase my popularity tremendously!"

"Uh...sure!" Soup said.

"There's still one problem...what will our parents say if we're gone for a long time?" I asked.

"Didn't you guys hear? They have a new hotel not to far from here where squid kids can stay, so they won't have to travel back and forth from their homes to Inkopolis. I'm going there, so hopefully I'll see you guys around!" Sharl beamed. "My dorm room number is 201."

BEEP BEEP!

"Well I gotta go you guys. My friends are waiting on me. It was nice to meet you all!" she said in a booming voice. Sharl happily skipped out the door.

Riley looked at Lucas. "Don't worry, big bro. I've got it covered. I'll tell mom you're gone. Me and Soup will handle everything else. Now you guys go out there and save the world and show those Octarians what you're made of!" Riley beamed.

"I believe in you guys. Woop their butts for me...ok?" Soup asked. I sweat dropped. "Uh...heh...ok."

Inkopolis Plaza

Lucas and I made it to where the sewer pipe was. I looked deep inside and saw clogged up dirt.

"Why does the sewer smell so much like turd?" Lucas asked.

"It's a sewer, genius." I said.

"There's no telling what it looks like under there..."

Just then, the unexpected happened. A creepy old man popped out from inside the pipe and grabbed.

"Huh? HEY, LET US GO! I AM NOT GOING IN THERE!" I shouted. My left foot was stuck. The old man seemed pretty strong for an old one. Lucas and I gave up and turned into squids. What world lies beyond the sewer pipe?
----------------
Octo Valley

The old man dragged us all the way down here from a...sewer pipe...ugh... He sat on his couch waiting for us to wake up. Lucas and I stood up and looked around at a place that looked unlike any other place I've ever seen. The place was filled with mountain tops and you could see the Inkopolis Battle Tower from afar.

"Alright, mister you've got some explaining to do." I said furious. "What was that all about?"

".......The Octarians are coming! NOOOOOO!" The old man shouted. He looked at me and Lucas. "Oh, I'm sorry, lads. I kind of lost myself there for a moment. Welcome to Octo Valley young Inklings. I need you to help me rescue the Great Zapfish. This time I got two of you, so you should do better than the last agent."

"Wait! You just grabbed us from a soda machine! Two random inklings! How do you know we're qualified?! You don't even know our names!" I asked concerned.

"There's no time for such trivial things! I'll just call you Orange and him Blue. My name's Cap'n Cuttlefish."

"....you do know we can change colors right? And my name's Mindy. This is Lucas."

"Well, follow me you two. I shall expand your mission in greater detail over here..." He said walking towards a spot with many pictures of the Octarians.

"Looks like Cap'n Mak'n it Hap'n. And....wait! The last agent?" Lucas asked me.
