We ran back to the room with the machine and Vanessa said that she recognized it.

And that she knew how to turn it off.

She stepped up to the machine and started pressing the buttons in a specific order.

I didn't see which ones but I knew she could do it.
I knew it.

Suddenly the door burst open and we were being fired at.

Oh no..

There she was...

Shade.

The other person that had been in the cage stared at Nine/Shade in shock.

He managed to pull himself together and tell us to run.

We run out the door, I don't know if Vanessa disconnected the machine. I can only hope she did.

Vanessa runs up beside me.

"Did you deactivate the machine?"
I ask.

"No! Too loud."

I want to curse right now, but that might make her sad so I won't.

We keep running but we're not fast enough!

They are going to catch up!

Suddenly, the person from before leaps over my head in a backflip motion while firing he weapon. (I gave him my octoshot since clearly I suck.)

Multiple octolings get hit and splatted.

He lands on the ground and wacks another Octoling in the face, the Octoling falls over and he starts to fire again.

I don't know his name so I will call him Blue.

Blue shoots his octoshot and knocks down a good chunk of the octolings that had been chasing us.

Suddenly, he gets pushed through a door and we can't see him.

We keep running. I don't want to take chances.

The wall beside us blows apart and he leaps out and fires his octoshot.

The octolings do a surprised pikachu face and that's the last thing they did before the got splatted.

I ran forward into a large room full of glass tanks full of ink.

I had an idea.

I grabbed a nearby piece of metal and smashed one of the glass tanks.

Ink was EVERYWHERE.

The halls were now flooded with ink and it was like that kind of flood from the cartoons.

We burst out the side of the hole I had fallen down to see it was being filled up rapidly fast.

We swam up to the top and climbed up.

We gasped for air and Blue turned to me.

"Well that was something I would've never thought to do."

"Really, you were pretty good back there. What's your name?"

"Connor, but I go by something else."

"And what might that be?"

"Agent 4."
