 * 12,000-7,000 years ago - After Alterna's collapse, great amounts of the liquid crystalls which once covered the cavern's walls, fell into the waters bellow broking into microscopic fragments which were absorbed generation after generation by the sea creatures living in Alterna's waters. This process together with the absorption of whatever else may have been floating in those polluted waters, passed down to the marine organism "fresh impulses", accelerating their evolution, till one day they set foot on dry land making them later on to leave Alterna and reach Earth surface.

The two battled until an unknown assailant captured all three of them and dragged them into the Deepsea Metro. Agent 8 then loses their memories and works alongside Cap'n Cuttlefish to find Agent 3 and get back to the surface.
 * Agent 8 then has to complete a series of tasks in order to collect four Thangs to get to the Promised Land. They then meet C.Q. Cumber, the conductor of the Deep Sea Metro, who explains the functionality of the C.Q. 80 system. Pearl and Marina offer their support from the sidelines. Once Agent 8 collects all four thangs, the telephone assembles the machine that is supposed to bring Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 8 back to the surface. This soon proves to be a trap, as the machine itself is actually a blender intended to turn them both into sanitizing ooze. Agent 3 manages to break them out, but at the cost of getting knocked unconscious for a good majority of the final battle. Agent 8 later fights a mindcontrolled Agent 3 and eventually manages to get to the surface to stop the telephone's evil plans. The telephone then reveals itself as Commander Tartar, a sentient AI created by the professor from 12,000 years ago as a last ditch effort to aid the development of the next dominant species. Tartar then strayed from its programming, as it was disgusted by the hedonistic nature of the Inklings and Octarians. It then sought out to create its own 'Master Race' of Sanitized Octarians. After Agent 8 uses Marina's Hyper Bombs and covers the NILS statue completely with ink, Pearl uses her Princess Cannon to finish the job, marking another win for the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Agent 8 joins Pearl and Marina on their way to Inkopolis Square, Agent 3 goes out on patrol and Cap'n Cuttlefish returns to the Deepsea Metro to check in on the Denizens of the deep for just a little longer.

New Agent 3 finds DJ Octavio, who's troops have gone missing, and thinks that Cuttlefish was behind it. When New Agent 3 beats DJ Octavio, he confesses and says that he didn't steal The Great Zapfish this time. Before being able to continue the talk, the trio fall down into Alterna. New Agent 3 loses all their stuff, except for Smallfry. New Agent 3 meets Agents 1 and 2, alongside the Captain. Agent 1 introduces the three as the New Squidbeak Splatoon. Agent 2 tells New Agent 3 that the group had found three strong signals on islands called Sites. In a level, the New Squidbeak Splatoon are introduced to O.R.C.A, an AI created by a group of humans to Just as the New Squidbeak Splatoon was leaving the first Site, Deep Cut, consisting of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man, appear and introduces themselves. Shiver and Frye tell Agents 1 and 2 that they are looking for treasure and that they need it. Deep Cut disappears, allowing New Agent 3 to get to the next site. New Agent 3 fights Deep Cut as bosses, allowing for them to use the treasures' pieces to make a lawn mover and get rid of the Fuzzy Ooze by the rocketship. Deep Cut then realizes the misunderstanding, helping the New Squidbeak Splatoon and New Agent 3 to reach the top of the rocket. There they found a dried and semidead Cuttlefish, and met Mr Grizz who was the one behind the Octarian army kidnapping and its fuzzification. Mr Grizz, then leaves with his rocket into space in an effort to cover Earth in fuzzy ooze to return the mammalian balance. Then Captain 3 when seeing Cuttlefish, cries and because of the tear, C.C. revives. Soon after Deep Cut help New Agent 3 to reach space and battle Mr Grizz in his rocket.
