        "Thank you for your time..." Aloha said to the last inkling that he interviewed.

"Any luck?" Straw asked.

Aloha sighed, "no..." he flipped through the pages of Army's log book. "No one seems to know who employed him... It's like this Field Research facility doesn't exist."

"Well, you have to admit that Army is very talented at sketching," Straw said.
Aloha sighed again,"It's just flowers and-" he stopped on the entry on June 10th. "What is that?"

Aloha points the corner of the page near the binding.

 Straw and him both didn't know what it was, but they both knew someone or two who might.

Aloha took the book and information he gathered to Nana and Hachi, Agents 7 and 8. He knocked on their door and waited for what felt like nothing, they where quick to answer the door.

Nana smiled at him "Aloha Aloha, tehehe!"
Aloha chuckled "Hello there Nana, I need you're help to solve this mystery that has been haunting my mind."
"Oh my, sounds serious. What do you need help with?" she asked

Aloha pulled out the log book and opened it to the page, "Do you know what this is?" he asked.

Nana gasped in absolute horror and quickly pulled him inside.

"HACHI!!!" she screamed, "GET OVER HERE QUICK!!!!"

Hachi ran in with his weapon, "WHERE'S THE DANGER!!!"

"Look at what Aloha found in Army's diary," she said.
"Um.... It's a log book.... he hates it when you call it that," Aloha said.
"Never mind, that's not important at the moment," she said.

"If Army was empolyed by them, then we are all in grave danger!" Hachi said.
"What.... What is it..." Aloha said scared.
"This is the logo for Kamabo Co. a company known for kidnappings and sanitization of the innocent!" she screeched.

"But... But wait didn't.... didn't we shut down Kamabo!!!" Hachi wondered.

As if in response, a scream is heard outside. Rushing outside they all witness Team Cyan in a defensive position.

Skull ran to the area "What the hell was that!"
"Was that Mask?" Rider asked.
Team Blue heard the scream and ran to check it out as well.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!" Headphones yelped as they spotted the group of eerie palish green Inklings. They have Mask tied up and beat up. His mask had been removed, making breathing difficult.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM!?! LET MASKY GO!!!!" Bobble screeched.

"oh we will," one of them hissed. "only in trade for the two octolings."
"NEVER!!!!" Bobble yelled.

"then, he dies," they laughed.

"NO!!! HE WON'T!!!" a voice said.

Turning around, they all layed eyes on Designer Headphones.

"HE WILL NOT DIE!!! I VOLENTEER TO TAKE HIS PLACE!!!!" he said.
"DESIDORE ARE YOU INSANE!!!" Moona squealed.

They accepted his sacrifice and let Mask go. He scrambled over to Bobble and she gave him an inhaler to help him breathe.

"NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!!!!" Moona screamed crying.

"Yes.... Just do it already!!!" Desi shouted.

The inklings smirked and twisted his neck back killing him. His lifeless body slumped to the ground. Silence was then followed by Moona's sobs.
"our work here is done....," they said before leaving.

"DESIDORE!!! I'M SO SORRY!!!" Moona sobbed.

"It's not you're fault Moona," Jersey comforted.

"WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS!!! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF KILLING DESI!!!!" Moona wailed.

"They're just trying to scaaare us...," Mask said.
"It's like they don't want us to find out about why Army killed himself...," Skull said.
"They work for Kamabo...," Hachi said.
"DIDN'T KAMABO CLOSE BECAUSE OF US!!!" Specs asked.
"Yeah.. It did...," Rider replied, "I wonder how it came back... and why."

The sun began to set and it soon became twilight. Prinz stared up at the sky as the land was covered in a blanket of beautiful purple and orange light. He began to walk back home before he missed his curfew. As he walked along the dry concrete road of Inkopolsis Square, he began thinking about the dream he had the night before. A dream about Army.

"Team Orange is back," he said,"I'm waiting..."

Prinz wished dreams were real. He felt bad for Army's team. He couldn't imagine how it must feel to loose someone you care about.... Especially your own team leader. As he walked the path home he could hear the sound of boots walking in a strict and martial way. The echos of a solo military march.
Prinz became spooked, "wh-who's there..." he whimpered.

It was getting darker and he was definitely past his curfew. Emperor would not be pleased with this tardiness at all. He pulled out his dueles.

"Who ever you are, I'm arm-" he said, then suddenly gasped as a figure approached him. He suddenly dropped his duels in shock and terror as he couldn't believe his eyes.

"A-army....."
