《ch.9: How Could You..?》

×Tweak's pov×
I looked at Dashi, "We can't-" Kwazii started I don't know what he said next....

×Shellington's pov×
I fought with Dashi and Kwazii for a bit...

×Tweak's pov×
I went to check on barnacles.... he locked himself in his room....

I knocked on the door... he opened it... "hey Tweak..?" He said.. "hey... how are you...?" I asked "fine...?" He said as Shellington walked over...

×Barnacles's pov×
A few weeks later, we had a mission...

×Kwazii's pov×
I looked at Barnacles... I sighed... we left the Octopod....

×Barnacles's pov×
We were on a Mission... Shellington swam over to me... "You okay... captain?"

I did not answer, I didn't look at him...

I can't tell him, he probably blames me too...

×Shellington's pov×
Was the captain Okay? Why wasn't he answering me? I looked at Kwazii and Dashi, I saw them talking about the captain yesterday.... barnacles was watching in secret....

They talked about Peso's death, words were kinda harsh about Barnacles... why?

It wasn't his fault...

I'll check on captain after the mission...

×Kwazii's pov×
We continued the mission... suddenly a current cought us by surprise... I looked at Barnacles... he was watching the screen in the gup for storms and currents

×dashi's pov×
I glared at Barnacles, we managed to finish the mission...

×Tweak's pov×
I went to check on barnacles.... he locked himself in his room....

I knocked on the door... he didn't answer.... Shellington walked over "Captain, it's Shellington...?" He said...

He didn't answer... Shellington got the door open, with Acid? Why did he even have that!?

We walked in...

"Captain?" Shellington said.. barnacles took off the headphones "Tweak..? Shellington...?" Barnacles said...

×Shellington's pov×
"Are you okay captain?" I asked "ye-yeah..." Barnacles said... taking the headphones off...

I only partly believe him...

×Tweak's pov×
We helped bandaged his Injured paw... I sighed....

×Barnacles's pov×
A few days past... we were about to go on another mission....

×Kwazii's pov×
We went on the mission, Shellington got hit by a wave when we went to the surface...

×Shellington's pov×
I berely got control of the gup...

I looked over and saw Dashi and kwazii yelling at Barnacles....

×Barnacles's pov×
I wanted to yell at them, but stopped myself....

×Shellington's pov×
After the mission barnacles went to his room "captain" I said "are you alright?" I added...

"I'm fine..." he said distantly....

I sighed...

A mission came... barnacles was helping creatures near the thermal vents...

But they were about to go...

And he wasn't hearing our warnings...

He escaped... mostly unharmed...

"You need to be more careful captain!" Dashi growled...

"We can't afford these mistakes now captain!" Kwazii hissed...

Barnacles looked away...

I sighed...

Back at the Octopod....

×Shellington's pov×
I went to check on the captain, and mabye see if he'd join me and Tweak for lunch....

×Tweak's pov×
"Shellington? Should we ask the captain if he'd join us for Lunch?" I asked coming over...

Shellington nodded and went to get the captain....

I searched for a place to order from...

×Barnacles's pov×
Shellington walked in "hey captain, me and Tweak were wondering if you'd join us for Lunch?" Shellington asked...

I nodded... we talked about what to do, and decided to order from Surfside Bites...

I placed the order...

×?????'s pov×
I saw the order... Tweak? Wasn't she a friend of Barnacles....?

I decided to add a little something for him... though...

could it really be him?

Could it really be barnacles?

×Barnacles's pov×
I sighed... now we were waiting...

Soon the food would arrive...

×Tweak's pov×
I talked with Shellington for a bit...

×Barnacles's pov×
We started to eat lunch when we got it...

Shellington looked in the bag "what's this?" He asked holding a sandwich...

"It wasn't apart of our order..." Shellington said....

"Violet sandwich... used to be my main order... you can have it if u
You want it.." I said...

He did have it...

The next day...

×Kwazii's pov×
The next day...

Shellington started to act weird...

×Tweak's pov×
I checked on Shellington, he had been Poisoned! Barnacles was blamed...

My trust started to falter...

"Barnacles you are no longer an the captain, nor an octonaut, please go" Inkling said.... looking away from him..

I walked past "how could you do this...?" I said...

×Barnacles's pov×
I sighed, I wouldn't fight them on this... I packed my things and left...

I know I wouldn't be back.....

×Kwazii's pov×
A few days had past... I went to check on Shellington..

I sighed.... we needed to find a way to save him... I thought about Barnacles.... I can't say I don't miss him..

I went to my room, and saw some old photos I had hung.... few were of me and Barnacles or the whole team I took the ones with Barnacles down... and put them in a drawer frustrated...

I hit the wall..

"How could you betray us Barnacles?!"
