(Can you believe it? It's already here... What a ride we've been through huh.... Anyway I'll talk about it after this epic extended chapter!)
(Also a huge thank you to @epiczacktime for making this epic final picture!)
--------------------------------------

Blood and tears streamed down Plat's disabled eye as he backwards onto the cold glass floor of the roof.
Bluzi looked down on the unconscious bully painfully...
Plat looked like a completly different person; he was way skinnier than his usual hunky self, looking more shy then usual, and most of all he looked like the caring kind of person... Unlike the brutal unforgiving excuse for an inkling he used to be...
He couldn't make himself believe that this mess of a person under his feet was the same person that worked hard to stab Orae an would happily walk away.

"DUCK!!!" Taylor yelled to Bluzi.
Bluzi bent back as if he was going to a limbo position and avoided the near death attack of the rocket turrent of octo-ink.
Bluzi snapped around to see two more soilders coming over to end his life.
"Somebody!... Anybody!... Just kill him already!" The queen shouted loudly, pointing her tentacles straight at Bluzi.
'There was no longer time to idle' Bluzi thought as he picks up his hero roller which was next to Plat and readys his attack for the incoming two.
He closes his eyes and brings down the roller to the now splash of octoling blood and gore... He swore he heard Melissa at least yelp.
Suddenly more soilders proceed to flood through the roof at high speed like a swarm of deadly bugs. It was starting to get irritating to take all of them out one by one...

Bluzi dodges the grapple of a more elderly looking soilder and heads straight for the electric tower which was producing louder zapping noises than when they first came in.
He managed to zip past several fully grown octoling men who seem to be too slow to react to anything. It was hard not to hurt anyway in his way, but with all efforts Bluzi tried his best and got ready to kill anytime.
It was now or never...
The tower was practically a meter away from Bluzi's current location, a perfect distance for a--
"SPLAT-ATTACK!" Bluzi yelled at the top of his lungs as he leaps high as he possibly can and raises the roller over his head.
He didn't close his eyes this time...

zzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

"What in the world?"
"Where are we?"
"Who are these inklings?"
"Melissa?"
"Queen what is going on?"
"Queen! YOU IDIOT!"
"We must kill this BITC---"

That's all Bluzi heard... After all it was hard to hear with all the pain. Not only the pain from the shock of the tower, but the continuous strong thumping of his heart.
Is this the end of his story? Is this all of what he fought towards?
Hopefully not...
He wanted to see Orae once again, to be able to feel her love pump through his blood again... And also to feel her lips as they seal their love someday...
But maybe he'll never get to....

Bluzi weakly opens an eye...
"Where... Where am.... I...?" He pushes out slowly an softly out of his mouth.
He felt the warmth of a blanket over his pain filled body and a soft cushion on the back of his head.
"You're awake... That's always a good sign!" A strange sounding voice said to him.
He fought his eyelids enough to keep open both eyes in the blinding lights.
"Who... are you?" Bluzi croaked.
"That doesn't matter... What matters is that you saved us... You and your friends." The kind doctor turned around an smiled.
Bluzi was taken aback but not too shocked. He didn't expect an Octoling to be his doctor but none-the-less, he's still alive...
"What you did was brave but stupid kid... You took so many volts to the body you were at risk of a sixty year coma..." The doctor explained in a serious tone that made everything sound like the end of the world.
Bluzi realized something important... Orae!
"Wait! How long of a coma have I been then?!" He took a look at his hands but luckily no signs of age showed.
The doctor sighed,
"Twenty years..."
'TWENTY?!
WHAT IF ORAE GOT A BOYFRIEND?!
WHAT IF ORAE ALREADY GOT MARRIED?!
WHAT IF ORAE ALREDY HAD KIDS?!
All I wanted to do is to--' I screamed in my head, showing clear signs of panicking.
"Just kidding bucko! It's only been a week... For some reason you held out pretty well." He laughed a bit.
Bluzi sighed the breath of sweet relief and lay back down on his cushiony pillow.
"I can read your mind clearly... You're worried about your girlfriend?" The doctor smirked a little while cleaning a empty medicine bottle.
"Yes... Gosh is she okay?" Bluzi asked while attempting to get back up again.
"Fine... In fact--"

The double doors slam open and there stood the four friends...
Taylor and Plat seemed to be talking to each other in a exciting sort of way and Melissa was staring at me but with a clear smile stretched across her lips.
"BLUZI!" Orae shouted happily running to him and jumping into a embrace that had enough force to push Bluzi right off the hospital bed.
"I missed you so much!"
Bluzi hugged her back, in a less forceful way of course.
"Me too..."
Orae looked up from the warm hug and started hopping again.
"You would not believed what happened to Octo-Valley since you were gone!" She said happily to Bluzi, who was trying to get back up.
"What? Tell me!" Bluzi asked.
Orae didn't say anything, but instead dragged Bluzi out the hospital treatment room and bolted down the hall with Bluzi.
She slowly opens the front doors for epic effects,
It was beautiful.... Lights were on in ever single house down the street and vehicles were driving around.
It reminded him greatly of Inkopolis itself... With the power of ten zapfish octarian civilization is not only back up, but booming with beauty around every corner...
"Wow... I love it..." Bluzi sighs.
"We did this you know? We save the octarians from certain extinction..." Orae smiled.
The two silenced for a moment to enjoy the breeze that slid into their faces.

"You know this is why..." Bluzi turned to Orae.
"Why what?" Orae asked.
"Why I chose you..."
"Why? Why me?"
"Because you are beautiful... Not just your appearance, your heart. By looking after others you helped saved an entire species..."
"Aww... You're just saying that."
"If I'm good at one thing it's reading hearts... That's why none of my 'fans' got the chance to even talk to me."
"Hm..."
"You have what it takes... But here's one question for you..."
"Yes?"
"Why me?"
"Hahaha... The same goes for you mister warm heart! Coffee?"
"I'll pay!"
The two left the hospital with a smile planted on their faces. The smile lasted for years to come...
