Chapter 25

## Plot

Previously in Chapter 24… Goggles, Eight and Cuttlefish have wandered into the Deepsea Metro, a vast underground facility. In order to return to the surface, they must collect the four thangs… What will become of them?!

Goggles and Eight showed Cuttlefish the first thang and they needed to find three more, Eight notices that Goggles seemed like a carefree guy, but he was more comfortable in battle than he expected and so was Cap’n Cuttlefish. They looked at the first thang and went a bit curious with the big dial and thought it was a large pickle stone, Eight observed that they like pickles? Then a voice came on the radio telling them it’s no pickle stone, They ask the voice who they are, and the voice said that they are Pearl (MC. Princess) and Marina (DJ Hyperfresh) Goggles knew them and that they’re Off the Hook, They asked Cuttlefish if he and Eight were in Octo Valley and they found the radio on Mount Nantai. Cuttlefish tells them he has dropped one of his walkie-talkies when he was kidnapped. Pearl apologies to Goggles for him getting dragged into something like this after he had won the tournament, but Goggles seems to be enjoying himself, Marina decides to help them get back up to the surface, Pearl agrees in a cool way, and so does Goggles, Eight and Cuttlefish. They decide to look for clues while Goggles and Eight continue to find the thangs. The train left just as Headphones arrives onto the platform and Cuttlefish notices her.

Meanwhile, on the train, Eight asks Goggles about the tournament he won and Goggles told him it was Turf War, He explains that you use your weapon to paint the ground with ink and he won it with his Team Blue! As they get off the train, Goggles wants Eight to play with him and he can’t wait for the others to meet him.

Just then, Headphones arrives on the next train and is very glad that she’s found Goggles and everyone’s been worried! Goggles introduces her to Eight and asks her about Specs and Bobble Hat, Apparently Headphones and the others were looking for Goggles but… they came so far, The detector pointed in a direction and Specs fell into a hole! Bobble Hat jumps in too even though her first thought is “jump in”?! Headphones reluctantly decides to jump in even though she was scared. The three of them fall down the hole hoping they won’t get separated, but they did! Goggles is worried about them, but he’s sure they’re all right. Eight observes that Goggles and Headphones trust their teammates abilities…

They decide to keep working on the tests so they can go back home! The sea cucumber prepares their weapons for them to use on the next test and those were Splat Chargers! They start the second test and the aim of it was to ride the Inkrail and shoot all the balloons, They slide on the rail and approach the first target, Headphones goes to shoot it and takes it down! The charger is her favourite weapon. They jump onto the next rail and as they do so, Headphones trips on the rail and Goggles decides to grab her to keep her balance, His balance is incredible! Eight holds onto Goggles to help Headphones balance as she keeps on shooting, They take down all the targets and Headphones thanks them for keeping her balance!

Goggles and Eight got the second thang, a blender blade and Headphones tells them that they should find the others if they keep passing the tests, As they arrive at Deepsea Central, they see Bobble Hat on a train! She is so glad that she found Goggles and Headphones, Goggles introduces her to his new friend, Eight. They go off to the next test and this time, they’re equipped with a Tri-Slosher! The Sea Cucumber tells them to defeat all the enemies, Goggles and his friends super jump all the way to a squid shaped stage made out of crates. Flying Octarians appear and Bobble Hat (who is good with sloshers) goes in for the attack, but the ink destroys the crate that Goggles is standing on! which means the more they attack, the less stage they’ll have to stand on?! More enemies arrive and Eight tells Team Blue not to rapid fire to make sure their shots hits an Octarian. Goggles gets closer to one and as he defeats one, the heli-hat comes off it, and onto Goggles which makes him fly around because it won’t stop!! But the test isn’t over yet! The enemies are bigger and they’re using Splat Bombs! The damage they dealt caused to destroy most of the crates which meant that Goggles and his friends haven’t got many crates to stand on! so Goggles decides to be a decoy even though he can’t control the heli-hat but he managed to dodge the Splat Bombs though. And his friends have their chance! They defeat all the enemies with barely enough crates to stand on! Goggles tells Eight that he can meet their reliable leader: Specs, too! And they hear a voice, and that voice was… Specs, He has made an Octobrush and falls right past them! Specs is not all right! but Goggles thinks he’ll be alright and his friends think he’ll be fine too! Eight realizes that Goggles and his team really get along well! He remembers something, It was the same girl, but he can’t remember who she is…

Team Blue and Eight has obtained the third thang; a blender jug! One more to go and Headphones tells them that they should look for Specs! They decide to take it to Central Station and Cuttlefish calls Off the Hook on his walkie talkie because he just can’t get used to online chats, Marina answers him and Cuttlefish tells her that there’s someone he’d like them to find for him.

Meanwhile at Inkopolis Square… Rider is annoyed, because Team Blue’s cellphones are out range, and he doesn’t know where Team Blue have gone!

**WILL Goggles and his friends find Specs?!**

**WILL Team Blue ever get home?!**
