"Is this the place?" 4 asked sickly. 3 nodded.

Tsunami' helped find a boat to take them to the place. Unfortunately it was due to this that the agents found 4 gets epic sea sickness. Pearl sat next to her patting her back. "How did you deal with Grizzo's transport?"

"I...took se..Sea sickness pills...Forgot them."

6 looked over the boat. "Uh...7, this is all water. How do we get down there?"

7 sighed. "The water in Inkopolis and Octo Valley are saltier than the ocean, so there is no problem with cheating. Ocean water is swimmable."

Callie cautiously answered, "But...We can't swim."

"Everyone hold onto me."

They grabbed onto each other and 4 grabbed Tsunami's hand. The boat disappeared into Tsunami's hand as her bow. Tsunami dove deeply as everyone else held their breath. The building was in reach. She pulled on the hatch. It seemed to be stuck.

Tsunami gave it a harder tug. She was running out of air. The hatch opened. They swam in and breathed in the air. Tsunami looked around. It seemed it was a platform. Marina pulled out her demo CQ-80 and brought up a map.

"Here we are." 6 said, pointing to a little circle with a pink dot. "There seem to be 4 rooms between here and the captain. They seem like boss rooms. I don't know what we'll face." 2 walked up and held out 8 clip ons.

"Sheldon designed these, but we haven't had the time to try it out. These clip-ons will allow your hero weapons to have a special. HOWEVER." she stopped at 4's excited face. "They can only be used once before having to recharge in the ammo knights container. So use it wisely." she attached it to their weapons. 8 started climbing down the ladder. They followed. The ladder came into the room. As soon as 5 got off, it retracted. "Well, guess we have to hit it straight on." She said.

A spotlight opened onto the center. There was laughter. A platform rose, revailing a familiar figure. It was Failboat, but something was off. He still wore his sailor suit, but it was a dark blue instead of a white and he wore a red ribbon and a navy blue collar. His Hat was still the same, but instead of his acclaimed double scythe symbol, it was a small electronic disc.

"Oh...Wow." He coughed.

"Failboat?! What's he doing here?"

"Hello Ne-"

"Dan?? The splatuber?! He should be in Inkopolis."

"maybe...He got Squidnapped?"

"I am the boss"

"Maybe he got attacked?"

"I am the BOSS Listen to me!"

Tsunami cussed. "Well isn't this just Pretty gosh darn diggity dang shitty" Failboat stomped his foot and pillars emerged, separating the agents. "What in the-?!" 4 yelled. Marina gasped as she pulled up something on her watch. "He's manipulating the ground! But how?" Fail laughed. "Isn't it cool? The professor gave me a power up!" He spinned, causing the floor to act like a wave, knocking all of the agents off their feet.

"It's soooo much better than being limited like before!~" Agent 4 readyed her Hero shot and fired at one of the pillars. As 3 and 4 swam up them, Callie and Marina started to go behind, as they tried to sneak up on them. Fail tsked. "I don't think you can beat me!" The pillars fall, causing four to fall, and three to land wrong.

Callie got up to the platform where Fail was. "Eat this!" She yelled. Fail shook his head and waved his hand, the platform shoving her off. Marina caught her and gasped. "We have to get him to stop!" Pearl yelled into everyone's coms. Four grasped her pin, a small number 4 that hung on her headphones. "I have an Idea!" She said.

She activated the pin and the special appeared. "Special activated!" Canons appeared and Failboat cussed. "4x Tenta Missiles!" Four missiles aimed at Failboat and He created a shield with the ground. The first missile made a dent. The second left a tiny hole, but the third and fourth entered and exploded.

The ground settled. Everyone converged to the middle. "Is he dead?" Marie asked, looking at the unconscious splatuber. 8 panicked. "I hope not! I don't know what I'd do if we killed someone!" Marina took his pulse. "He's alive." Everyone sighed. "But still...How was he able to manipulate the ground? It doesn't seem possible." She takes the tech-like circle on Failboat's hat.

She put it on her watch and scanned it. "Holy carp!" She exclaimed. "What?" Everyone wondered. "I've never seen tech like this. How did..." Marina sighs. As Marina examined him, the tech blipped. Marina looked over. "Oh...But how..." Marie looked at her. "What's wrong?" Marina sighed. "This is made from octarian mind control technology, but it's modified...something else is here and I can't identify with it."

Tsunami looked at the unconscious inkling. "What do we do with him? I am not carrying him." Everyone stopped. "Oh. Right." 4 said. Callie looked at Fail. "How long will he be out?" Marina shrugged. "I can't tell. Whatever this is took a lot of energy out of Daniel. He might be out for a while." Callie then said, "I can carry him if he's in squid form!" Everyone nodded.

A little messing around and shaking the body, Failboat turned into a squid. Callie picked him up and placed him on her hat. "Onward!" She said. Everyone went to the door and went to the next room.
