The statue continued to rise. "It is...a human!" Captain Cuttlefish cried out.

"This was what all of those phases were in..." Agent 8 said.

Laughter could be heard from the statue. "10,008. No one has worked so hard to try and spoil my plans. For that alone I commend you. You and that little inkling friend of yours really wreaked havoc for Kamabo Co."
A voice said from the statue.

"Who are you?" Agent 8 said with a growl.

"I am Commander Tartar. An AI programmed by a highly esteemed professor 12,000 years ago. My purpose was to pass down the knowledge of mankind to the next capable lifeform. When your kind became self-aware, I thought I had my chance. But your evolution absolutely disgusted me! You wage war over your minor genetic differences, you obsess over trivial fashion choices." The voice said. 8 looked closer, and spotted the source of the voice. It was the phone!

"You." Agent 8 growled, "You are the one that nearly killed me. You are the one that corrupted her." He pointed to Agent 3, "You are the cause of this all. I shall see to your demise myself." Agent 8 growled once more.

"I wouldn't be sure of that. You see, 10,008, I created a new plan for your pitiful little world. From the brightest test subjects, I created a sludge of supreme DNA. A primordial ooze, which shall give birth to perfect lifeforms! Today is the day my image becomes reality, as I destroy Inkopolis and everyone in it!" Commander Tartar said.

Mechanical whirring filled the air. The statue's mouth opened, and a cannon extended from its mouth. The cannon started to spin, a bright blue glow emitting from it. Agent 8 looked at Agent 3, and immediately super jumped to the statue. "8! What are you doing!?" Pearl, Marina, and Captain Cuttlefish called out simultaneously.

"I already told you. For Agent 3, and for the rest of Inkopolis, I shall fight." Agent 8 growled once more, "Tartar shall fall."

As he uttered those words, blue octolings spawned. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, 10,008." Tartar laughed.

Agent 8 heard a jump point appear next to him. Landing beside him was none other than Agent 3! "Figured you  could use some backup." Agent 3 said with a smile.

"3! Yeah it would be very useful. Thank you." Agent 8 said.

"I'll fight off these punks. You take down Tartar." Agent 3 said, her head glowing.

Agent 8 nodded and sprinted for the head of the statue. Agent 3 charged into the crowd of octolings, activating a splashdown to clear out a few. Agent 8 started inking the head of the statue to climb up. Two octolings spawned at his sides. "Stop right there." One said.

Agent 8 backflipped, dodging both octoling's gunfire. He shot down them both, and started swimming up the head. Time to save us all. He thought.
