"How'd you like that?" Octavio laughed, as the two Inklings were struggling to move. "With this next one, I'ma remix your face!" Before Octavio could ready the pod again, his music shut off, and a new signal could be heard.

"Signal override!" Levin looked over, and saw agent 1 and 2 on the far platform. They had removed their head gear, and now Levin realized why they sounded familiar. A new song could be heard over the loud speakers. It was a brand new squid sisters song.

"It was Callie and Marie the whole time?" Levin said, completely stunned.

"Agents 3 and 4, we got cuttlefish. The rest is up to you!" Levin looked over, and saw Marie helping the old inkling walk, and he could hear her say "don't you ever worry your grand-squids again".

Octavio was pounding on his control panel to block out the hijacked signal. The Inklings took advantage of this, and use the Squee-G to de-splat themselves. After a few moments, Levin's de-splatting finished, and he stood up. "That was my last use," he said.

"Same here," Shara responded. Her Squee-G was still working, and she couldn't move.

"Agent 3, take these!" Levin looked over and saw Callie toss him a pair of objects. Catching them, he looked down to see what she gave him. It was an inkzooka and a bubbler shield. Levin Looked over just in time to see the Killer Wail charge for another blast, while a volley of Octotrooper pods were launched behind them. He quickly activated the bubbler shield, and jumped in front of Shara, just as the Wail fired on her.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks," she said and stood up. Levin tossed the inkzooka to Shara.

"Try using the inkzooka on that pod. Maybe you can deflect it like we did with the fists. I'll keep those Octotroopers off your back!" Levin gave her a quick wave, and charged down at the advancing Octarians. Shara turned back to Octavio, who had readied the large pod once again.

"One at a time, or both at once. It doesn't really matter to me. Commin' at yah!"

Octavio fired the pod, and Shara took aim with the inkzooka. She fired a blast at the pod, and finally was able to send it back. Unfortunately, Octavio shot his left fist, and hit it back at her. Shara fired again, and Octavio used the right fist to counter. The pod was now traveling at a much higher speed, and Shara barely managed to fire her last charge on the pod. With the fists still deployed, Octavio no longer had a way to counter attack. He fired a few torpedoes, but to no effect. The pod, now full of blue ink, broke through the damaged barrier and crashed into the cockpit.

"So... sad." Was all he could get out, as the Octobot rapidly started going up in flames. After several small explosions, the craft went up in a ball of fire and ink, and Octavio was violently ejected. He hit the ground hard, and passed out.

"They got the General! Abandon ship!" The remaining Octarians fled in a panic. Levin, who had a fair amount of purple ink on him, came over and slapped Shara on the back.

"Nice shooting! We really gave it to them, didn't we?"

"Yeah, we did. Thanks again for that trick with the bubbler. I guess we're even now."

"You should thank Callie for that. She was the one who gave me the gear." Levin extended his hand, and Shara took it. "Nice working with you, Shara."

"You too, Levin." The two Inklings turned to the injured Octavio. "So, what do we do about him?"

"We take him with us." A voice behind them made the two Inklings jump. Cuttlefish was standing behind them, along with Callie and Marie.
