Meanwhile, Coral and Clam as well as their fellow Octarians are making their way to the facility's holding cells to free the final group of Inklings and Octarians who were captured.
"That was a grueling battle, but we must not lose sight of our objectives, not when we just have broken through!" Clam says as he opens the door to the glass prison holding the final batch of Inklings, not hesitating, and despite only having one tentacle to work with, he picks up a heavy chair and breaks the glass prison, then he says to the Inklings "Get out of here now before they recapture you! Go find shelter at a base not far from here, an Octohurler will help you return to the surface.", the Inklings are confused of why an Octotrooper is helping them, but they listen to him anyways.
While Clam rescued the Inklings, Coral has been looking for the room in which the Octarians who are not part of DJ Octavio's army have been held, upon finding it, he decided to use the keycard from an enemy Octoling he had splatted to free the rest of the Octarians, a mix of Octolings and tentacle Octarians seem to be thankful and relieved.
"You are free now, go to our base which isn't far from here, my commander will make sure to keep you away from those who have captured you." Coral tells the Octarians he just freed. The Octarians listened to Coral and promptly fled the enemy facility.
Back at the base, one of the Twintacle Octotroopers in the logistics room noticed a lot of dots coming over to the base.
"General Anemone, sir. You need to take a look at this!" the Twintacle Octotrooper says.
"Show me the camera feed." General Anemone orders the Twintacle Octotrooper.
"On it, sir!" the Twintacle Octotrooper responds.
The camera feed shows many Inklings, Octolings, and tentacle Octarians fleeing to the base, none of them are carrying any sort of weapons, nor riding any combat vehicles.
"One step closer to getting out of these domes." General Anemone says with a smile as he leaves to meet with the new refugees who intend to take shelter in his base.
