Agent 8 made it through the next phases in his way, and entered the last phase. "Here we are 8, the last phase. Great job so far." Marina said happily, "As you can see, the elevator is just ahead, and you can get there from the grind rail."

Agent 8 nodded, activating the rail, and hopping onto it. The look of determination flashed across his eyes once more. I will be free. He thought. "We will be awaiting you in the helicopter when you make it out!" Pearl chimed.

Agent 8 landed on the elevator platform. It started to rise. The light from the surface seemed almost blinding. He checked his ink tank; it was full. He checked his Octo Shot; it was fully operational. The elevator stopped. It stopped...but its not at the top...? Agent 8 thought, rising to his feet. "8! Look out!" Marina shouted.

She was almost too late. 8 narrowly avoided a splashdown. Fear was clearly visible in his eyes. He looked at the source of the attack. The inkling from before! Agent 3 was her identity. Why did she attack me? She saved me earlier! Agent 8 thought. "8, I hate to say it, but you will have to fight." Marina said sadly.

Agent 3 charged at Agent 8. She entered a baller and hastened her pace. 8 jumped into the air to avoid the baller once, and then swam on top of a pillar to avoid it again. Agent 3 jumped to where 8 stood, delivering a swift kick to his jaw. 8 barely kept his balance on the pillar. Agent 3 hit him with her Hero Shot, knocking him to the floor. Agent 3 jumped, splashdown ready. "3...please..snap out of it!" Agent 8 practically begged.

Agent 3 used her splashdown, this time connecting for major damage. Agent 8 went flying backwards, slamming against another pillar. He slowly struggled to his feet, then Agent 3 kicked him back down. Her fierce green eyes shined brightly. She took aim at 8's head. 8 started to feebly crawl away. "3..please..wake up.." 8 said weakly, "I don't want to fight you."

"Then just die!" Agent 3 growled. She aimed once more, "Fools like you aren't welcome in the perfect world!" A voice said through Agent 3. Then suddenly, her eyes faded to their original blue color, her aim grew shaky. "8..." Agent 3 whimpered, "Save me..."

Then, in a gasp of pain, 3 dropped to the ground. "Agent 3!" Agent 8 said, rushing to her side. "3...3 are you alright?" He said panicking.

"Must...destroy...10,008..." Agent 3 said, pointing her Hero Shot at Agent 8's chest.
