Suddenly a Hero

Chapter 7 Roads Cross

   "So how's it going Agents Blue and Orange?" Cuttlefish said through our headsets.
   "Perfect!" Cris chimed. "We decided to split up for the past few areas and we're covering a lot of ground!"
   "That's good but I suggest you guys stay together for these next few areas. I have a bad feeling about those areas."
   Cris and I jump into the kettle and we emerge out at a familiar place. "Wait. This is Kelp Dome! Why are we here?" Cris questioned.
   "It's not the real one. Look." I pointed up to the ceiling. "There's no dome around it. It's fake, someone has to be practicing here." I was right about someone practicing here.
   As soon as we stepped down, Cris pulled an arm in front of me. "Wait. There's a splat bomb coming. Now!" She screamed and we both ran separate ways. From the bomb explosion, a figure landed in the violet ink. It looked like nothing I've ever seen before.
   "What are you?" I whisper. It turns towards me and a creepy smile spreads across it's face. Out of fear, I start to fire and miss all my shots.
   I open my eyes to see, it's gone? Cris' voice echoed through the headset. "You okay?"
  "Yeah. You?"
   "I'm fine. Saved your butt right there. You need to stay alert."
   "Ok!" I hope down from a ridge and took off to the zapfish. Little did I know, someone was right behind me.

   "Ok agents! This is your target." Mira pointed to footage of two inklings. "If you see them, feel free to kill."
Fidèle walked past all of us and handed us little ear pieces. "These will help you communicate with base. We'll tell you plans and other stuff."
   "One more thing before you agents leave... Don't. Mess. Up." Mira growled sending everyone into panic.
   Those words echoed in my mind. Don't mess up. BUTTHEYDIDNOTHINGWRONG?!
WHY ARE WE KILLING IF THEY DID NOTHING WRONG?! And there's the mess up. I closed my eyes in pain. I know with this attitude I won't be an elite. I don't care about that. I'm more scared of Mira.
   I started to turn away and walk back until I heard a voice. "Ok!" I peeked out and saw AN INKLING?! This is my time to shine. He walked over slowly, with a strange look on his face. He's... Scared. I feel guilty but it's my job!
   "Hello?" He called. I looked at him from the grates. Now!
   "Hi!" He whipped around to see me jump down from the path and throw a bomb. Surprisingly, he jumped out of the way and I hid in the bomb splatter.
He started to walk towards the splatter, gun aimed.
   "Where are you?" It seems he didn't see me hop into the ink. He turned around to walk away and that was my time to strike. I leaped out of the ink and shot rapidly, ink hitting him multiple times. He fell on the ground and I walked over to him.
   Mira's voice cheered in my ear piece. "That's it agent! Splat him right now!!"
   I lost my focus. "What?"
   "Splat him! SPLAT HIM!!"
   "I-i..."
   "Want to be an elite?! Do i-" I clicked off the ear piece.

   I lay on the ground. This is it. It's over. The enemy walked over and started talking. But when she started, she seemed to look lost. "I-i." I heard screaming get louder and louder from her ear piece then it went silent.
   She removed her hand off the ear piece and looked at me. "Listen. I don't want to splat you. I'm sorry for all this. Here." She dropped her weapon and held out her arms. "Splat me."
   "What?"
   "I deserve it. Now."
   "No. You're surrendering."
   "Very well." She turned away, picked up her weapon, then super jumped away.
   I got up from the ground and scratched my head. What was that about? Turning the corner, I found nothing left except for Cris sitting by the zapfish.
   She was looking down, bored. She slowly looked up and an instant look of happiness spread across her face. "There you are!! I was getting bored waiting."
   "You must of took the faster path."
   "So what took you so long?"
   "I'll tell you later, we need to report another zapfish to Cuttlefish."
