Chapter Text
Pain. That was all Octostomp felt as hundreds of eels infested the shell of his body. He had been through a lot, sure. Agent 3, 4, heck, even Agent 8! I mean, he was Sanitized, but it was still him. He didn’t know how he kept his memory, but he did. But this, it was the worst pain he ever felt. Soon, this new agent had beaten the one who commanded the eels, and they grabbed some sort of trash thing. Though, Octostomp felt his body being moved. He watched as he was slowly brought to two figures he didn’t recognize, and one that he knew all too well.
Captain 3: …where did you find that? Why did you bring it here?
???: Sorry Captain, it seemed like it was in pain, so I brought it back so we could help!
???: Neo, this is an Octarian Weapon, one of Octavio’s strongest war weapons.
???: Cmon Marie! Surely it’s good now!
Captain 3: Callie, that thing tried to kill me and 4, we are not helping it.
Neo Agent 3: Even if it’s evil, we can contain it like when you guys put Octavio in a snowglobe!
Captain 3: Fine. We’ll bring it to Octavio, he’ll bring it back to life, and if it attacks, it’s dead.
A few hours later, the five arrive at Octavio’s base. Callie knocks on the door. A voice speaks through the P.A. system.
Octavio: I saw through the cameras, you brought Octostomp? I’ll bring it back. Come in.
The door opens and several Octarian guards bring them to the Octo-weapon making factory.
Octavio: The process is quick and simple. Give it to me, and I’ll imbue it with life once more.
Octavio takes Octostomp and gives it life back with a machine. Though, it’s noticeably teal. Strange.
Octostomp: I’M BACK!!!
Marie: That’s the same thing you said when you fought Agent 4, get a new line.
Octostomp: Well sorry my conscience corpse was being used as an eel hive, putting me in too much pain to think of a new line, jerk.
Captain 3: Shut up. Also, why are you teal?
Octostomp: That damn phone box kidnapped me after Agent 4 defeated me!
Callie: Wait, you were sanitized?
Octostomp: That’s what it's called? Eh, I don’t care.
Octavio: Just so you know, I’ve given up on getting the Great Zapfish, so I don’t need you anymore. Now get out, all of you.
The Octarian guards escort everyone to the exit, throwing them all out.
Octostomp: Way to welcome me back, jerk.
Marie: Is jerk your only insult? Because that’s pathetic.
Octostomp: Shut up. I’m leaving, none of you are ever seeing me again.
Octostomp runs off into a nearby mountain range, disappearing.
Neo Agent 3: That just happened.
Meanwhile, Agent 8, Pearl, and Marina, are hanging out on top of the mountain where Pearl and Marina first met, when a box like figure runs up at them.
Agent 8: Wait, is that who I think it is?
Octostomp: Goddammit, can’t get any damn alone time.
