"Okay, so we located Hope, but I don't know how much time we have left before she gets captured again." Coral says on the phone.

"It should be the one close to where we encountered an Octo Oven and convinced it to let us find Hope without the need of a battle." Coral explains.

"I think we need to hurry or Hope will get octonapped again!" Kelp says to Coral quickly.

"Oh geez, when will the two rivals arrive? I don't want to fight living Octarians!" Coral replies, helpless with indecision.

Octocommander Fortress is all the way in Slimeskin Garrison, so the others are way off. They'll have to Super Jump all the way over there. Also, the closest kettle to the Boss Kettle is Revenge of the Octarians.

(Frankus, Mirage is still in Inkopolis Square, still fainted. Hope has just been octonapped, not in a state like Mirage was earlier during the match.)

Coral and Kelp hope to encounter an Octarian who won't attack them, but will instead talk to them. They exit out of the kettle see what looks like a group footprints made of ink leading to a pool of swirling ink.

"The only reasonable explanation for this is that whoever octonapped Hope superjumped to somewhere farther away than we all thought." Coral makes an observation.

"Then what happened back there? They must have used a decoy to trick all of us!" Kelp says.

"I think that's what they used too, so they waste our time." Coral agrees.

Without talking further, the two enter the swirling ink and superjump, not knowing where they will land.

They land at Suction-Cup Lookout, two areas away from where Hope is. The closest kettle is still the Boss Kettle, this time for the Octo Samurai.

Coral calls the bicycle group again.

"Bad news, Hope is farther away than we initially thought. The Octarians tricked us with a decoy! I'll call you when Kelp and I found Hope. Just so you know, Hope is not in any of the domes in Tentakeel Outpost. Trust me, we found footprints that lead us to Suction-Cup Lookout." Coral explains everything.

"Hey Coral, let's go into this dome to see if we can talk to some Octarians about where they saw some possible footprints." Kelp suggests.

"Great idea!" Coral says.

They go into the closest kettle.

Meanwhile in Slimeskin Garrison.... The tentacle colors change again, allowing Wish to gain control. He fires more Shadow Balls and Dark Pulses at the Octocommanders, splatting a few of them, but not all of them. The remaining Octocommanders open fire on Wish, and he gets hit by all of the shots. Extremely weak, he barely manages to find cover. The tentacle colors change back again, letting Hope regain control. She's weak enough where the Octoling soldiers leave her there for a bit and Super Jump to Cephalon HQ to get the Hypnoshades. After a few long, long hours, they eventually find them, then Super Jump back to Slimeskin Garrison and enter the same kettle, finding their way towards Hope and forcing the Hypnoshades on her. She soon falls under DJ Octavio's control after having the Hypnoshades on for a few seconds, not hesitating to fight Coral, Kelp and the others when they arrive. The tentacle colors change again, indicating that Wish in in control. He walks out of the kettle, riding some Ride Rails to the Boss Kettle for the Octo Shower. Wish tells the Octo Shower that two defected Octolings are coming to 'save him'. The Octo Shower hisses from its vents, ready to attack. Three Octocopters fly in with a shower head, sealing up the Octo Shower's tentacle.


Back with Coral and Kelp... the Octo Samurai shrugs as best he can. He doesn't know where their friend is, but he can point them towards where to go. He points up to the ceiling, telling them to leave the kettle, then he points to the right, trying to let them know of the launchpad that will take them to the next area, Beaker's Depot.

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral and Kelp superjump to the dome's entrance to continue their search for Hope.

"She has to be okay, right?" Coral says.

"Wish is also with her, if he separates from her again, maybe he can help us." Kelp replies.

The two go into the next swirling pool of ink to get to Beaker's Depot.

 

[Splatoonlover1]

(That's in Slimeskin Garrison. Didn't Coral and Kelp just talk with the Octo Samurai? Shouldn't they be in Beaker's Depot by now? I put the 'Meanwhile...' for a reason, to show what's going on with Hope since Coral, Kelp, and the Trail Hogs aren't there yet.)

[Splatoonlover1]

(Oh. I see it now.)

 

[Cephalobro]

Coral replies to Frankus on the phone.

"We will continue going on foot so we can gather some more information so we can help you find Hope. Also, if you see a big Octoling, we need to help him out too." Coral says on the phone.
