Marie's POV ~

"AHHH!" Callie and I screamed as searing pain tore across our faces. Of all the things I expected Y/N to show up and do this was certainly not one of them.

Just a few minutes ago, I was feeling confident that Octavio would destroy the inkling, and Y/N wouldn't show up in time. But wow I was wrong. So dearly wrong.

Our song had been interrupted and replaced with a new one. One that we unwillingly recalled as Tide Goes Out. Neither one of us know why or how we remember that, but I did. That's how we knew he was coming.

But I did not know it'd be on a giant floating cemi truck.

He was here. If he had i face, i bet it would be a look of fierce determination. The kind of inspiring of how desperately he wanted the great Zapfish back. It was almost as if the loss of the Zapfish drove him insane and he wouldn't rest until he got it back.

We were too distracted by the sudden change in music interrupting our song, and wondering how the heck a truck could fly to realize that Y/N charged up his laser cannons.

And they were pointed directly at me and Callie.

And with perfect aim and precision, he shot his shots, and hit us clear across the face, knocking the shades completely off of the machine and into the dark abyss below.

But this wasn't a normal laser, it was ink lasers. I had felt inkling ink before. It was sticky and caused us to slow down in our tracks. But this ink was different. It burned my face and fizzled and popped, as little green anomalies flew from my head and exploded in sudden bursts.

Me and Callie grasped our heads in our hands, barely able to keep ourselves up. My head rung violently, and Octavio's voice was muffled as he shouted,

"NOO! The Hypnoshades!" He slammed his wasabi sticks against the turntables, and growled.

"YES! That was a direct hit!" I think I heard Y/N say.

"Uhhnnnu." Callie moaned, feeling more pain in her skin than in her actual head.

"Ugh." I grunt as I felt the same way.

"Alright! Now, Agent 4! While Callie and Marie are stunned! Make DJ Octavio pay for what he did to my sisters!" Y/N shouted to his recruit. Wait... did he just call us his sisters?

"Don't you two dare even think about about stopping. You need to keep singing!" Octavio thundered up to me. "Just shake it off and go!"

As much as we didn't want to, we obeyed his command.

"Time to turn these tables! Spicy speed mode!" Octavio scoffed, and threw an aggressive spin to the turntables.

"He's fast! Watch out for that dash punch, 4!" Y/N said, in perfect coordination to when Octavio launched a dash punch.

The inkling kept splatting on. My vision cleared slightly, and I noticed both Marie, and I were going back and forth on the giant flatscreen TVs. Something familiar about us performing started to come to me, as if we had done it before.

"Alright, 4! Keep it up! I'm gonna assist from here if i can!" Y/N called, and started firing machine guns at us. However, I cut him off and sang more of my song. But it felt, more original. Like it wasn't a new song made by Octavio. But rather, one Callie wrote herself.

Octavio launched the metal fists at the agent to the rhythm of my song, only to get them deflected and launched back in our faces. This threw the machine off balance yet again and didn't really help our dizziness.

Octavio directed another dash punch, but instead of the girl splatting it back towards us, she dodged and quickly swam away. Octavio attempted to locate her and threw another set of the calamari bombs. She reappeared out of the ink, and almost stumbled into one of them. Octavio laughed as they exploded into columns of toxic Purple ink.

"WAKE UP, YOU TWO!" Y/N shouted.

"Oougghh... five more minutes" Callie replied sleepily, Octavio violently shook the machine upon hearing this.

"Stop talking and keep singing! I can't loose control of you two!" He said desperately.

Another set of punches was yet again deflected and thrown into our faces. Octavio noticed down below, that the inkling agent had gotten herself stuck in some purple ink. He seized this moment and initiated another shower attack, and plowed over her, causing the innocent squid to loose her armor.

"Haha! I've gotcha right where I want you!" Octavio shouted at her. She inked a small puddle to try and fix her armor, but she didn't make it out in time and was splatted by a punch.

She only had one chance left.

We waited a moment and she respawned. Octavio immediately threw a spinning punch. She was disoriented, but not affected. She splatted herself a trail and swam away. Octavio launched one final and hopeful punch towards her, but as expected, she splatted it back, and he fell out again.

By this time, my vision and hearing were almost completely restored, and Callie and I could hear Y/N calling,

"Octavio is down! Get him Agent 4!

She did as told, and splatted him. He was completely coated in green ink. Octavio squirmed back into the machine, but it was far too late to do anything.

I remembered again.

A song that I just now decided to call Tidal Rush screeched to a halt.

"My...My head..." I moaned.

"YES! The Low Tide Ink is working! Callie and Marie are coming to!" Y/N said from his position

He pulled a radio box out of his pockets, which didn't exist. Y'know. unknown logic.

"Callie! Marie! Remember!" he pointed an outstretched arm towards the top platform. It was at this moment in Callie and my lives where we felt completely humiliated. The stupid clothes we wore. The stupid attitude we had. We were so ashamed. we never wanted to get over to him more in my life than I had in this moment.

Y/N set down the radio box and struck a pose from our song, Calamari Inkantation. Small anomalies of blue light started to form around Y/N's heart.

A new beat of some song had begun. Something that ignited the same sparks inside me and my cousin. We knew it all too well.

"That heavenly melody..."

As we sluggishly copied his movements, the same pink anomalies formed around Callie's heart and green anomalies formed around my heart, and expanded down around our torsos.

"The one and only..."

Everything went black.

"I...I remember..."

Memories once again fully restored, and being completely consumed by pink and green auras, we made a giant leap of faith over to the truck, at long last, falling into Y/N's robotic arms.

"Yeah!"
