Life In The Promised Land: An Agent 3 x Agent 8 Story

Chapter 6: Back For Vengeance

It was a quiet night in Inkopolis Square. About 11 pm to be exact. Lights were slowly turning off in buildings, the pidgeons began flocking to rooftops and nests, and all the inklings roaming around were beginning to walk to their apartments.

However, in the middle of the Square, there was a figure. A dark brooding inkling in a black and white hoodie along with some Blue Sea Slugs on his feat. This wasn't your ordinary inkling however.. This was far from that.

The figure looked up at the moon with his glowing turquoise eyes, he then clutched his fists as he stood up from the chair he was sitting on by Crusty Sean's shop.

As for Crusty Sean, he was humming a tune as he began putting up the chairs on their designated tables as he was beginning to close down his food joint for the night.

He then started putting up the chairs at the table the figure was sitting at. Looking at the apartments. 

As he got to his chair, he jumped in surprise. "Woah there squiddo! I didn't even see you there!" Crusty Sean said as he scratched his head. "You sure gave me a fright!"

The figure didn't move. 

"Umm.." Crusty Sean said silently. "You wouldn't mind moving now would you? I gotta close up shop." 

The figure tilted his head, focusing on Crusty Sean with one eye. He then got up and started to walk away.

"A-alright friend. Have a good night!"

Just then, figure stopped in his tracks and stood still. He turned around, now holding out a modified version of what looked like an Octobrush. 

"Hehe.. uh is this some kind of prank or something?" Crusty Sean sweatdropped. "Cause you're definitely scaring me.."

The figures' eyes shot open as he sprinted straight at Crusty Sean. Landing a hard slap in the face with his Octobrush, as Crusty Sean fell on the floor with a huge mark of turquoise ink on his face.

The figure walked over, placing his Octobrush directly on Crusty Seans' neck. 

"Where... Is... 10,008!!!!?" The figure yelled as his hood fell off, revealing to be what looked like an octoling with a blue and green ink color as his tentacle covered half of his left eye.

"T-ten thousand wha? I.. d-don't k-know..." Crusty Sean managed to murmur out in terror.

"Is that so?.." The octoling said in a raspy deep voice. 

"Y-yes please.. Just.. please let me go" Crusty Sean said silently, horrified at what he was witnessing.

"I would.. you pathetic, little, orange shrimp. But I'm not done with you YET!" The octoling said loudly. "I need some MORE info out of your little puny head." 

"O-k..kay.. What would t-that be?" Crusty Sean whimpered.

"Who are these 2.. idiotic creatures.." The octoling grabbed a picture out of his pocket that showed 2 inklings, a girl in a bobble hat and red hoodie as well as a guy with glasses and a short sleeve shirt.

"Ah.. y-yes. Some of my favorite customers. Jewel and E-Erik.. very good f-friends aswell. W-wait what do you want with t-them?"

"NO QUESTIONS!!!" The octoling yelled out once again. "Now you BETTER tell me the truth.. OR ELSE!" 

"AHH y-yea okay.." Crusty Sean said silently.

"Hhm.. powerless organisms like usual.." The octoling whispered. "Now, do you have ANY information on where they.. habit.."
