The Return Home

When the Alicorn arrived in orbit above Earth, Daring Do sent a digitally written message to the Squid Sisters that the Young Six had returned. Callie quickly responded, saying that they needed to be quiet since Taylor and Lizzie were sleeping. Daring Do relayed this to Flurry and they proceeded with their landing sequence. After landing on the edge of the ocean, Flurry and the Young Six made their way to Marie and Andrew's house. Callie and Michael were there as well, along with four other inklings that were older than them.

"These are our parents.", said Callie quietly.

Flurry Heart understood why there were two sets of parents since Callie and Marie were cousins. Callie's parents stepped forward first and introduced themselves. Her mom had long blue tentacles and her dad had short black tentacles and goggles.

"I'm Callie's mother, Sally Ammonite.", said her mom.

"I'm her father, Jerome Cuttlefish.", said Callie's dad.

Then it was time for Marie's parents to introduce themselves. Her mom had a long yellow tentacle that hung down the left side of her head and yellow eyes. Her dad had short gray hair and wore a cap.

"I am Marie's mother, Iris Ammonite.", said Marie's mom.

"I'm her father, Michael Cuttlefish.", said Marie's dad.

"Pleased to meet you all.", said Flurry Heart as she shook hands with all of them.

"They've already met Taylor and Lizzie. We put them down to take a nap before you got here.", said Marie.

"They're such cute little buttons.", said Iris with a warm smile.

"Callie and Marie have told us about you guys and how you were on a mission to map areas of space. That must've taken some serious bravery.", said Michael.

"You would be right. It did take bravery and courage to complete that mission. Not to mention, I was the one who helped Callie give birth to Taylor.", said Smolder.

"That's what she told Jerome and I. Well done.", said Sally.

Callie said she noticed that a larger ship had been used to come for the visit, but she didn't understand why.

"We heard that you are skilled in combat on the ground. We have come to train you in three new fields of combat. They are underwater, air, and space. We have also come to build some shelters and defense turrets in the area in case your world is attacked. This way, you will be protected and you can defend yourselves from enemies.", explained Flurry Heart.

Everyone was floored by this. Neither Callie, nor Marie knew what to say. Moments later, they turned to their parents.

"Keep an eye on the kids, please. We're taking our new friends to meet the agents.", said Callie.

Their parents nodded and then the Squid Sisters led Flurry and the Young Six to the Squidbeak base camp. On the way, they said they had good news and bad news. Flurry asked for the good news first.

"Our grandfather, Craig Cuttlefish, signed a peace treaty with DJ Octavio two weeks ago, thus ending our conflicts with the Octarians. This means we're joining forces with them to keep our world safe.", said Callie.

"What's the bad news?", asked Smolder.

"He caught pneumonia two days ago and is in the hospital. We're afraid that his time is almost up.", Marie said sadly.

At the base camp, Flurry and the Young Six met the Captain and Agents, 3, 4, and 8, along with two of their friends, Pearl and Marina. After explaining what the training would focus on, the Young Six started running everyone through training exercises until they were ready to try the real thing. Once the Squidbeak agents had built ships for themselves, they were taught how to take off and land properly before flying into space and shooting targets. They learned how to set targets, open and close their wings, and how to navigate while in space until Flurry decided they were ready. During the training, Callie and Marie would go home each night so they could be with their kids.

After the agents were trained for water and air, it was time to build the defense turrets. They were placed strategically so that all areas of both cities were well-guarded. Once the training was finished, Flurry and the Young Six built underground strongholds where citizens could take shelter during an attack. In total, the training and construction of the turrets and shelters took only seven weeks, which was quite fast. The Young Six were able to achieve this because they were well-trained and everyone was a fast learner. After this, Callie got a call from her dad that said she and Marie needed to come to the hospital right away. Their grandfather had lost the battle against his sickness and was slowly dying. They rushed to his room and knelt down on both sides of the bed. With his last breath, Craig spoke to Callie and Marie.

"Girls, I am proud of you both for doing so well in the Squidbeak Splatoon. I know you'll continue to do the right thing. I wish you good luck for the future. ", he said weakly before his eyes slid shut.

Callie, Marie, their parents, and their children broke down in tears. They knew he had been suffering from his old age, but now he was at peace. After the memorial, Callie decided that the Squidbeak Splatoon should no longer be top-secret. Marie, the Captain, and the other agents all agreed and they put out an advertisement. They had numerous inklings and octolings fill out enlistments, and all of them were accepted.

Once an Air-Force and a Navy were formed, the Young Six personally trained specific inklings and octolings to work the defense turrets. They succeeded and were certified in only four days. Once it was established that the world was ready to defend against unexpected attacks, Flurry and the Young Six left to return home to Equus. After returning, they sent word to the PAW Patrol and their allies in the Disney Fleet that they'd made new friends to possibly recruit as allies
