The banquet that Camille and her friends attended was a typical dinner with the gods Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, and Amphitrite. During that banquet, Zeus and Hera offered what they know about Moros and his whereabouts. According to Hera, Moros has been monitoring in Mount Olympus from below and sending his "acolytes" to major Greek cities where City-States once stood. (i.e.- Athens and Sparta) Zeus tells Camille that she must continue her visits to Morpheus's Dream realm if she wants to find further clues to finding Moros's main location and possible weakness. Zeus also warns Camille about Moros' divine power over everything including the pantheon of Olympus. Camille doesn't keep that warning in mind, believing that Moros is not as strong as he thinks.
The next day, Camille and her party prepare to travel to their next destination.
Nebula decided to remain in Argos to train with Poseidon who is taking her to Triton's home in the ocean. The reason for this is because Poseidon wants Nebula to wield the true trident rather than the Promethean Glass replica. Nebula promises Camille she'll meet up with her once she receives the true Trident of Poseidon.
That only leaves Mysteeri, Sandra, Marina Squidly, Wish, and Jovana in Camille's Party. Camille has Jovana contact Hermes and Iris so that they can ask a champion from Olympus to meet the team at Thrace. Camille calls for Celeste.
In the meantime, Sandra reveals to the party a special honor given by Zeus: his Lightning Bolt. Thus, Sandra is not just the Champion of Heracles but the new Champion of Zeus as well.
"Zeus told me that when the time comes, I can hand this to Camille to deliver a final blow to Moros or whenever she wants to borrow it for a while," Sandra explained,"But he also told me, I have great responsibilities now that wield this."
"I was never told that," Camille commented, "Then again, they were dead by the time I was fighting those Titans."
Sandra changes the subject. "Where shall we go now?"
Camille was going to answer with "Thrace", but soon ended up daydreaming. Morpheus comes to her in this daydream vision, addressing a mistake he made when Camille was personifying Camilla. The real destination is a city called Pimpleia which is modern day Litochoron.
"Pimpleia," Camille answered.
"So we're going north?" Marina Squidly asked.
"What about those Keres that Jovana was fighting earlier?" Sandra asked. "Shouldn't we expect them to be in the way?"
"Obviously, yes," Camille replied, "You expect frequent fighting?"
Sandra puts on her hood, becoming a lioness-headed warrior. When she puts on the hood, her voice changes.
"Yes," Sandra replied, "Everyone is expecting a fight, right?"
"Only if necessary, cowardly lion," Mysteeri teased.
"Okay, that's just plain mean." Sandra looked at Mysteeri.
Mysteeri giggles.
Soon, Nebula and Poseidon approach Camille's party, and both have something for Mysteeri and Sandra.
"Nebby, are you sure you want to go with those two?" Camille didn't want anything bad happening to Nebula.
"Don't worry, we'll keep in touch. Hermes can deliver messages, right?" Nebula isn't changing her mind.
"Well, suit yourself, Nebby." Camille parts her shoulder.
"Before you go, Champions of Hades and Heracles, we got something for you two. My brother told me to give you these." Poseidon and Nebula hand parcels to Mysteeri and Sandra.
Mysteeri opens her parcel, taking out a vial of water. Sandra opens her parcel, taking out a lyre. The two were sort of confused as to why Zeus is giving them these items.
"Champion of Hades, Hermes managed to collect water from the River of Styx and placed it in that vial," Poseidon explained, "A single drop summons the undead." He then looks to Sandra. "Champion of Heracles, Linus taught Heracles to use that lyre until Heracles strangle him for pointing out his mistakes. Play a certain turn from that lyre and it transforms."
Assuming that Hephaestus fused the lyre with some items, Sandra plays a tune and immediately turned the lyre into a bow. Mysteeri looked closely at the water in the vial and sees a few faces teeming inside.
"Cool," Mysteeri complimented.
"We'll have Hermes send a message to Zeus, saying thank you." Sandra changes the bow back into a lyre.
"Are you kidding? We can tell him ourselves before we leave," Mysteeri argued.
((At this point of the chapter, the narration is by Zeus. ))
There is nothing interesting in Pimpleia anymore. It may be Orpheus's hometown and it's close to Mount Olympus, but it's just a city with no significant connection to its Ancient Greek roots other than the name. But there is a place there that I can suggest staying at the Bath of Zeus.
It's probably forgotten by the city and all of Greece, but I'm probably one of the only few who knows it's location. I haven't visited the place for some time, but despite the many mortals that discovered it, visited it, and used it, I am giving you access to a cottage I have built near there. My son, Ares, is left to take care of the place.
I'll have Hermes notify him of your arrival.
((End of Narration))
Camille's party made a stop at Mount Olympus to pick up Celeste. Afterward, they head east of Mount Olympus, deciding to head to the Bath of Zeus rather than head to the city of Pimpleia. Marina Squidly and Wish didn't mind the long walk as long as their health is monitored. Later, in the small wilderness of the Epinea valley (or Epineas Gorge), Camille's party had to walk a number of miles to Bath of Zeus.  The place was a hidden spring in a rocky gorge, and its waters were supplied by waterfalls from the heights of Olympus. Vegetation has been growing a lot due to isolation and very few visits. There were signs of man-made structures as there were a few side railings and signs, but they have been reclaimed and broken down by nature.
"This is beautiful," Celeste complimented, "I wish I can take Willow here."
"The Humans that lived in this country -- The Greeks -- they believe Zeus bathed here with Hera and those that Zeus fell in love with," Marina lectured, "Even after years of a devastating war and the extinction of the Human race, this place didn't lose its beauty and purity."
"So this was like the site of their honeymoon?" Celeste asked.
"You can say that," Marina Squidly answered.
Camille was leaning against the rails, looking at the waterfalls. Jovana goes next to her, leaning against the rails as well.
"Is something wrong?" Jovana asked. She was wearing beige hiking shorts, a pink tank top, and a green hoodie. The only thing that hasn't changed in her ensemble is her two-faced mask of Janus. "You seem down, Camille"
"It would kind of feel better if Mommy, Daddy, Paccy, and Grandma Janine were here," Camille replied.
Jovana shows empathy by patting her shoulder, but in a motherly and comforting way. "You'll be alright, Camille. Once all this is over, things will be back to the way they were."
The cabin that Camille and her party are looking for was half a mile from the springs, located in a unique clearing. This clearing was once a slope covered in forests, but someone has changed the landscapes and built a home here. The sun was setting by the time they arrived.
As they approach the cabin, there was someone around: an adult inkling in his 40's, with dark-red ink hair and a developing a small Dali mustache and longer hair. His clothes left some to doubt that he's Ares: a simple red plaid button shirt with sleeves rolled up, blue jeans and leather belt, and black boots. He looked calmer than what most of Camille's party imagined. He can be seen chopping pieces of wood with an ax.
"Uhhhh.... are you Ares?" Celeste was the first to ask as the party approached him.
When Celeste asked that, the dark-red inkling has the ax over one shoulder. He uses his other arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Still, he looked calm.
"Who do you expect?" This is definitely Ares.
"Isn't Ares supposed to be the most hated god in the Pantheon?" Mysteeri questioned. "I hear he has a reputation for being cruel and violent, and that he is single-minded and strife-loving."
"I don't fit the description?" Ares replied.
"Most certainly not," Mysteeri narrowed her eyes at Ares.
"She's sort of right," Marina Squidly supported, but she knew there was a reason for Ares to be non-violent at this time.
"Then who am I other than the God of the Red Planet, the Most Hated of Gods, and The God of War?" Ares stepped closer towards Mysteeri with fire in his eyes.
Mysteeri can tell this is the real deal.
Sandra gets between the two. "Now, now, let's not begin building hostilities." She carried a rucksack of prey she caught using the lion cloak. She's been carrying it all the way to the destination. "Got dinner just in case. And no need to skin it and clean it, I already did that. It just needs cooking."
Ares looked surprised and laughed. "Champion of Heracles? You're too kind. We can have a feast." He seemed more welcoming towards her than to Mysteeri who is the current Champion of Hades. When Ares looked Camille, he gave a bow. "Titan Slayer."
"No-no-no-no-no, no need to bow before me, it was nothing," Camille reacted.
"As you wish, Champion of Athena," Ares replied, "But your legacy lives on."
Camille rolls his eyes.
"Sapphire and Emerald were great champions of Apollo and Artemis, my children," Ares reminded, "Even after......... my apologies, forget that."
Camille raised an eyebrow. "Whatever."
Sandra and Ares made dinner with the food they have. While those two were cooking in the cabin, Camille and the others decided to have a chat. Mysteeri has been talking with Nebula about Jovana and that she is not what she seems, and now Mysteeri wants to bring it up to Camille. Camille doesn't seem to notice that something's familiar about Jovana by her appearance.
The squids were sitting around a campfire. Mysteeri began the conversation.
"Just so that we can put it to rest, Jovana looks like your grandmother, Camille," Mysteeri began, "Haven't you noticed."
Camille knows something is off about Jovana, but she doesn't let it bother her. She can try to figure out why, but she has other things to do.  
"Yeah, so?" Camille raised an eyebrow.
"Do you think it's possible that she could be Janine?" Mysteeri asked.
"Don't be ridiculous, Mysteeri," Celeste doubted, "We would need to know how she got so young if that's true."
"Well the magical world of Ancient Greece is real, is that enough?" Mysteeri argued.
"Guys, an Olympian is right here," Ares called out, having heard their conversation. "And also you guys are carrying Olympian Heirlooms, why bother question."
"Jovana couldn’t be Janine!" Camille shot down the question.
Jovana was just sitting there, listening to this. She decided to intervene.
"I have no connection with Camille's grandmother other than knowing that she has gone missing," Jovana commented, "Camille is right, I can't be Janine."
30 minutes after the conversation, Ares and Sandra finally come out of the cabin, carrying trays of food for everyone near the campfire. Everyone had something to eat for the night, and while they ate, Ares has something to say.
"You know, I've been reading stories written by the mortals, and most were about kingdoms and war and adventures. I miss those old days from the mortals. Today, it's all modern with evolved weapons and an ever-evolving warfare." Ares took a bit of some deer venison. He continued after he chews and swallows his food. "And I learned there was a time of clans each with their sigil and motto. Sadly, it's for the strongest and more regal of clans, so I have a suggestion."
"You want us to have our own sigils and mottos for our families?" Sandra asked.
"Correct, Champion of Heracles," Ares replied before looking at everyone else, "So what do you say?"
At first, it sounded ridiculous yet interesting. Celeste was able to come up with something, and Mysteeri and Sandra later joined in on this.
"My mother said that our sigil would be two hands holding three stars, and our family motto would say 'Fight with a Heart Full of Honour & Honesty.' That's what us Weevers say," Celeste contributed, "But I think a robin carrying knitting needles and a ball of yarn is better with saying 'weave new beginnings'."
"So much, Celeste, but sounds cool," Mysteeri complemented before contributing her family sigil and motto, "For the Altezios, we say "As Wild as the Flames" and a lung dragon breathing fire represents us."
"How Targaryen, Mysteeri. As for me, since the Gatz-Ling Cassius family adopted me, I must live by the words 'We Beat on Against the Currents'," Sandra proudly stated, "Our sigil is a mix between a lobster and a cone snail."
Ares looked at Wish and mentions Nebula. "You're related to the Champion of Poseidon and Triton. What would you say about the sigil and motto of your family?"
Wish pondered this for a moment until she came with a straight answer. "I believe it would be a seven-pointed star with a galaxy surrounding it, and our family would say 'We Know No Boundaries'."
"How proud," Ares complimented. He then looked to Camille, Marina Squidly, and Jovana. "How about you three?"
"Me, I don't really have a family of my own," Jovana explained, "But if I had a sigil it would be a simple squid with a star, and my family would say 'Shining Bright'."
Marina looked at Camille, hoping she had some idea. Camille can only think of what she has seen in her dreams so far. She remembered Pyrrhus giving her that flying squirrel named Icarus. At least it was something in mind. Camille didn't want to contribute, but everyone is listening and want to know what she has.
"All I can think of is...... a flying squirrel, flying under a star," Camille replied, "And....under those two is a staff."
"And what would be your family's motto?" Sandra asked.
Marina Squidly managed to help Camille out. "Our family would say 'The Time Will Come'."
"'The time will come'?" Ares questioned.
"There's always an opportunity for everyone, and we know one day there will be the chance to take it," Marina Squidly explained, "thus, we know the time will come."
"I like that," Jovana complimented, "very fitting."
"Yeah..." Camille continues eating her dinner.
That night...
Everyone was asleep at the time except for one person: Camille. She wants to sleep so that she can enter Morpheus's dream realm and meet her parents. However, it seems she's experiencing insomnia, but she never found it this difficult.
Camille walks outside, wearing dark green pajamas that look a race-car uniform. She takes few steps over to a wooden railing near the cabin and leans on it, looking up at the night sky. All she can think of is how she's going to defeat Moros, find Grandma Janine, and saving her parents.
While she was thinking, there was a whisper.
And the whispers were one command: "Come to the Bath of Zeus, child."
Camille wasn't allured, but she rolled her eyes, knowing this to be another thing from the world of Greek Mythos. She followed the whisper's command anyway, bringing Athena's spear with her just in case.
"This better be good..." Camille mumbled.
Again, she walked half a mile to reach the springs, but when she arrived, the water gave off a mystic glow. Fireflies flew about, emitting yellow lights. In the sky, the constellation of Aquila the Eagle can be seen looming over the Bath of Zeus.
Camille approaches the water from its rocky slope. She didn't mind getting her pajamas a bit dirty. She planted the spear into the ground, lodging the end into a few rocks. She noticed something at the center of the water: a hill of water rising. She could take a closer look, but she knew water is sort of a hazard to inklings.
The hill of water rose higher and soon scattered into droplets, revealing a gigantic Inkling. This inkling has white periwinkle ink-hair, a green eye, a blue eye, and light skin. She wore a beautiful dress made from a ship's sail, beads of iron, and threads of gold. In addition, she has bracelets and a collar of sheep's wool, a snake-shaped ring of bronze, and wings of a dove.
"Hello, Champion of Athena. Savior of my World." It's Eurynome, the Mother Goddess of the Greek-Mythos World.
"Oh, hey." Camille gave a small wave, unfazed by the entrance that Eurynome gave.
"Come, take a dip in the Bath." Eurynome reaches her hands towards Camille.
"Huh!? No way! We just met!" Camille steps back. "There is no way--!"
It's too late. Eurynome grabs Camille and brings her close. Once she lets go, Camille falls into the water and sinks. Camille rises to the surface and spits out some water. It turns out this water does not harm inklings.
“Oh... sorry... Can you swim?” Eurynome is regretting what she just did. She was just having a bit of fun while welcoming Camille.
"Smooth move," Camille sarcastically commented. She tries swims back to dry land. "But when someone says no, they mean 'NO'."
With a  movement of Eurynome's hand, Camille is lifted up and is able to walk on water.
"You mortals are so uptight sometimes," Eurynome giggled.
"You tell me." Camille faces her, not minding that she's standing on the surface of the water. "So how are you still alive? I saw you die in my arms out there in space."
"The Omphalos stone, someone is using it," Eurynome sensed, "But I'm not sure who."
"Figures....Maybe Moros would know once I give him a piece of my mind." Camille folds her arms.
"Speaking of that, that is why I came and invited you the Bath of Zeus," Eurynome explained, "You can't face him just yet. You need more allies and a better understanding of his powers."
"They have my parents," Camille argued.
"Yes, but if you come too close to Moros, he would have you where he can destroy you." Eurynome scoops up some water and creates a few aqueous figurines. "Will and Destiny do not mix well for Mortals and the Pantheon. They both defy one another, so we either control our destiny with our will or allow destiny to decide our will."
"And your point in that is...?" Camille questioned in a bored tone.
"My point is that you need more than just the Pantheon and the Champions to defy Destiny." Eurynome sinks into the waters so that only her head, her shoulders, and part of her wings were visible. "Look to the World that Ophion and I created."
"I think it's enough," Camille replied.
"Are you sure?" Eurynome questioned.
"Moros will lose to us once we reach him." Camille has her arms folded.
"Well if you insist." Eurynome looked worried. She then sinks all the way into the Bath of Zeus. Afterward, a dove flies out of the water and into the air. She couldn't stop this.
Camille would later be swimming back to a shallower area of the waters. She took this time to sit around and wash her hair since the water isn't harming her. She was currently in a bathing suit while her wet pajamas were placed over the head of the spear to dry. She could've asked Eurynome to fix that before the goddess left, but it was too late.
The Bath of Zeus remained quiet as Camille relaxed in the Springs. She lies down her most of her body submerged in the water. She stared at the sky and at the constellation, Aquila the Eagle. Then two more constellations out: Cygnus the Swan and Lyra and Lyre.
Camille slowly closed her eyes, and soon she fell once more into a deep sleep.

((Insert opening: https://youtu.be/IBF9XEsnvJI ))
Last time on Syer's Rebellion:
Sandra and friends splitting up one more time to help the Revolution the East. Sandra and James lead their forces into Operation Fisher's Net, surrounding Washington D.C., the U.S. Capitol.
During that operation, James trains some recruits in Valley Forge while Sandra continues it by starting a battle in Yorktown. With a victory there and a complete wipeout of the decommissioned Angels of America, it sent a message to Howe's Administration that the Revolution has reached their Capital. A final battle has yet to come and conclude this.
Washington D.C., United State of America - Time Unknown
The victory over Yorktown brought the U.S. Legislators' attention to the Revolution that's now at their doorsteps. For the new three days, all the states are now in favor of Syer's Rebellion; Washington D.C. is the only territory left under President Howe's controls. Policies passed by Howe's Administration to keep the people in a Steampunk culture and under strict rule has been defied to the point of being immediately nullified.
All the Splat-Coats, Loyalists, and Inkmatons were rallied to the Capitol of the United States, asking citizens still loyal to President Howe to find sanctuary her district. This was the final act that President Howe has planned as it causes a split in the Splat-Coat faction. And without the German Ambassador who was captured in Yorktown and returned to his home country, and without the Angels of America that President Howe decommissioned, Howe has no other force that can help retaliate against the revolutionary forces.
Evelyn Howe thought that if she brought the classes below government to a technologically inferior state, she would've limited progress that would've threatened large businesses. In the end, the Steampunk movement innovated and invented machines and tools that lead to Howe's idea to blow up in her face.
As for the policies that targeted populations from Inkopolis, Japan and banning brand from there, it was a way to keep Inkopolis from intervening with the revolution. She knew Agent 7 and the Great Barrier Reef Treaty Organization and their global views, and she knew too well what they would do if they saw what Howe was doing to her people.
As for the rest of the policies, they were authorized by her, but in a way that destroyed her reputation with the people.
All she can do is make one more Presidential Speech to what's left of her country.
Meanwhile...
((At this point of the chapter, Story is narrated by Sandra))
So James, Marina Squidly, Wish, and Elizabeth arrived days later after my siege of Yorktown. James was very impressed by the way I reenacted the battle that gave the U.S. her freedom from an empire. He said I deserve a medal of honor for having this victory. Marina and Wish provided me information about the mapping Washington D.C. to help take the Capital. Beaker and Vix were exploring Yorktown and collecting some souvenirs.
James and I had Henri send a letter to everyone in the Eastern Theatre to rally at Virginia's State Capital, Richmond, in a building called the St. John's Church. Marina and Wish informed us that a famous American spoke some great words here. James sort of knew already, but I didn't. The rest of Market Splatoon -- Elizabeth, Henri, and Abraham -- were in Philadelphia with a new member named Lot; they were with a few commanders there to revitalize a declaration and a constitution for James's Rebellion.
Callie, Nebula, Mysteeri, Pyrrhus, Emerald, and Sapphire arrived; Vix and Beaker arrived later. Suzy was in Mississippi, informing us that she's making sure no loyalist tried to provide President Howe a counter-offensive. Telemachus, Kitzeh, and Celeste were still holding the sea blockade but were willing to send a few smaller ships and carrier into the Potomac River to prevent escapes of any kind.
Then there was Jamal, the lagoon triggerfish from Hawaii who was governor of the islands. James and I actually have no idea why the governor of Hawaii would come all this way to see us. It was only when he arrived late at night that he explained.
Everyone at the St. John's Church including our available generals were having a conversation about the final battle that'll come. And Jamal just burst into the room, doors slammed open with the light shining over him.
It was like 9:00 PM at the time.
"Sir Jamal!" James addressed.
"Governor Jamal, Commander-in-Chief." Jamal walks across the aisles and sits down at a table reserved for him. "My apologies for being late, I should've taken the airships rather than automobiles."
"So why'd you come all this way?" I asked.
"I here to claim candidacy to the President role," Jamal began, "And I'm sure there will be others seeking that role too. Once with revolution is over, and President Howe and her Administration are impeached and punished, our government will have to work from scratch again as either a democracy or a republic."
There was some muttering among the generals and some of my friends. I can see Camille roll her eyes in boredom. Vix just stood there looking out somewhere, probably having no idea what's going on. Pyrrhus was joking with Beaker jr. about how Jamal might be some "Benjamin Franklin" but I don't see the similarities.
James was -- well -- sort of unsure if he should accept Jamal claim to Presidency as a candidate. I've only met Jamal once and known him a nice fishman, but I couldn't picture him as a president to replace President Howe.
Minutes later, my brother came up with a reply.
"We revolution will accept this," he said, "Under the condition that you help repeal everything President Howe and her administration has passed."
Jamal gave a nod.
Hours later, Jamal has asked me and James to come with him on a stroll in a park across from the church. Our conversation started off with him quote a speech.
"I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death," he quoted.
"Patrick Henry, 1775," James guessed.
"You are correct, Mr. Syer." Jamal the stopped and sighed before giving a comment. "It's not like you to be leading this revolution, James. That's why I offered to take the presidency as a candidate."
"With all respect, Governor Jamal, but I have to do what's best--" James argued before being interrupted by Jamal. I was just listening at the moment.
"For who exactly? The country or family?" Jamal questioned. "This Revolution would've been someone else's to lead. You took it to get revenge."
"Well that's the point," James explained, "President Howe needs to pay for what she did to our Mom and Dad."
"Would your parents have wanted this from their son? Revenge that all leads to this?" Jamal turns to look at me and James. And I expect you want to deliver the final blow to President Howe for what he did to them."
James quickly pointed a steampunk splattershot and aimed it at Jamal. "You watch your mouth, Governor!"
Jamal wasn't phased. "Trust me, James, you don't want to hurt a kind man."
I never have seen my brother like this, and all this time I thought he got passed the emotion he felt from losing our parents. It took only James like half an hour to realize what he's doing and lower his weapon. Jamal walked over to stand next to James and pat his back.
"President Howe is quite controversial to be in the White House, but it doesn't mean we have to do the worst to her just because of her crimes." Then Jamal started exiting the Park. "And I'll take care of some of your friends while you face this final battle. We'll find a safe area to watch it."
And like that, Jamal is gone.
I looked at my brother who was looking down, probably reflecting on what he has just done. All I can do with pat his shoulder, giving him the family affection he needed. Soon after, we left the park as well.
"James, you can resign and just leave it to someone else," I recommended, "Jamal is right."
"But what then?" James replied to me. "Where do we go from there?"
"Home," I answered, "Back in Seychelles."
"..... It's hard to imagine that without Mama and Papa." James then gave a slight smile to me. It was a depressing kind of smile, and I understood what is meant. "I think that after this..... we should go--"
I placed a finger over his mouth and silenced him. I knew what my brother was going to say, and it would be easy for him...
...but not for me.

((Insert opening: https://youtu.be/IBF9XEsnvJI ))
Last time on Syer’s Rebellion:
President Howe was furious with Mysteeri for abandoning the troops in the Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Now that Howe knows that James is leading the rebellion, she is now focused on taking him out. In that case, Howe reassigned Mysteeri to Manzanar where she'll be "protecting" the Neo-Squid Sisters from the rebellion. However, Mysteeri is suspicious of this reassignment and the Neo Squid Sisters being in Manzanar.
As for Sandra and James, they almost had two spies escape with information about to confirm to Howe that James is leading the rebellion. But thanks to Vix, Wish, and Marine, those spies were caught and the rebellion had to push their raid on Manzanar to tonight.
Back in the other side of the Pacific, Celeste, Telemachus, and Kitzeh are sent by Agent 7 to the United States to find Sandra and make sure she's okay.
Chris Zorin's Office - Manzanar 2.0, Inyo County - California, United States of America 6:30 PM
"President Howe has sent you to do what exactly?" Chris Zorin was looking through the documents and the permits that Mysteeri laid on his desk.
President Howe has warned Zorin about Mysteeri, asking him to give Camille and Nebula a more luxurious stay in Manzanar. Otherwise, Mysteeri will defect immediately.
"I'm here to make sure Camille and Nebula are safe in this Camp," Mysteeri stated.
"No need, we've been giving them massages, comfortable beds, dishes made by our best chefs, and air conditioning," Zorin lied, "You may return to your--"
"I want to see it!" Mysteeri demanded.
"....Very well then." Zorin takes out a phone and called some Splat-Coats to escort her.
The Splat-coats immediately made sure that Mysteeri doesn't see any signs of Manzanar. Mysteeri only sees the Inkomatons walking along the sea life of Japanese descent and small Zen Gardens with bonsai trees and gravel rivers.
When Mysteeri arrived at the steps of Jane's Cabin and swung open the doors, she finds Jane with Camille, Nebula, Beaker, and Guist. Jane's brothers, Waka and Kiyo, were taking Jane's children on a walk around Manzanar. They were living in luxury as Zorin as promised, but it was suspicious Camille, Nebula, and Beaker.
"Camille? Nebula?" Mysteeri addresses.
"Mysteeri?" Camille sort of recognizes the inkling.
"You know her, miss Squidly?" Jane asked.
Camille has met Mysteeri before back in Inkopolis, but she has no idea how she has ended up in the United States. However, Camille can't exactly remember what has happened between her and Mysteeri. All she knew was that they have some adventure and that's it.
"She's a friend," Camille stated.
"What's going on?" Mysteeri asked. She sounded half glad to see them but half concerned. "President Howe told me about Manzanar and that you two are her under her protection."
"Protection? Protection!?!" Camille stood up. "She's keeping us prisoner here for what we know!"
"I see..." Mysteeri folds her arms. "Anything else?"
"Zorin has been treating the people here terribly, he then gave us this so suddenly," Jane explained.
"And he's been torturing certain prisoners for the littlest of things!" Beaker complained.
"Beaker, you want them to hear us?" Nebula tried to quiet him down.
"Thanks to my friend here." Camille has Guist next to her. "We've been finding out a few things about Manzanar. What've you been doing?"
"I've been working with Howe in fighting the rebellion, but it seems one failure led me here." Mysteeri takes out a gun and removed the bullets. "But her Splat-Coats did forget me good ammunition. I'm stationed at a fort about 4 miles north from here."
"You're working with her?" Camille wasn't surprised.
"Don't worry, once I heard you two were here, I have my suspicions, and it seems Howe lied to me." Mysteeri soon looked at the maps that Camille's party is examining. "Trying to escape? I can help you with that."
"You can?" Jane questioned.
"Sadly, there is no escape. These fortifications are meant to keep you in here. However, they're not built to stop those from breaking in." Mysteeri points to one of the gates. "I'll try to convince President Howe to reassign me to be a station at one of Manzanar's gates. And there I'll have the gates open."
"That'll be great for the rioter's here." Jane has been talking with the other prisoners. "I heard they'll be staging one last attempt to break themselves out."
"Good, then you guys might as well attend that riot, as for me I'll try to get into Zorin's office and investigate further," Mysteeri walks out of the cabin, "Something is up between her and an inkling named James."
Once Mysteeri leaves, Camille and Nebula looked at each other.
"James?" Camille wondered.
"Sandra's brother," Nebula assumed.
The Neo-Squid Sisters only saw Sandra's brother from a distance and knew little about him other than that he's a fan of their songs.
An hour later...
Manzanar 2.0, Inyo County - California, United States of America 7:30 PM
The Fort at Kearsarge has been taken, and Mysteeri was still in Manzanar, investigating. Jame's forces were seizing the ink-weapons there and preparing the second wave.
Meanwhile, Sandra was leading James's First Wave with Suzy, Emerald, Sapphire, and Pyrrhus. Suzy and Emerald were armed with Agent 0's weapons, Sapphire armed herself with an ink sword she made for herself, and Pyrrhus armed himself with a round shield and an ink sword. Sandra took out her steampunk dualies and took a deep breath.
This First Wave was hiding behind a few bushes and tall grass fields, waiting for a time to charge. Suzy decided to scout further to find that Mysteeri is there.
Sandra reminded herself that this is only a raid and not an act of liberation. They're only there to get the prisoners out and level the camp into ruins.
Suzy returns to report: "That inkling from the Fisherman's Wharf is there, she's ordered the Splat-Coats to open the gates for a riot."
"Well, that escalated quickly," Sandra commented, "one of Howe's minions are defecting?"
"Seems so," Suzy replied.
Sandra smiles and looked to Emerald and Sapphire. She nods to them, telling them it's a good time to charge. Emerald takes out a flare gun and aims it's towards the sky; with one single shot, a ball of light is flung into the air, signaling a charge.
"Let's go!" Sandra puts her Steampunk Dualies away and charges with her Ink-Cutlass.
The First Wave followed her with three protecting her with the Ink Bubbles. Charger units super jumped their way into the front lines with their chargers fully loaded to be aimed at the Splat-coats at the wall. With one of the gates unarmed, the First Wave breaks them open with ease. The rioters there were already flooding out of there, being escorted by the rebels to Independence. The rest of the prisoners were being taken out along with their belongings to be escorted as well.
Sandra, Emerald, Sapphire, and Pyrrhus were heading to Camille's Cabin, fighting their way through a few Ichabod and Tinmen Inkomatons. Suzy stay at the gates to help escort the prisoners out of Manzanar.
The Splat-Coats were outnumbered just like at the Fisherman's Wharf, and they were already running about to hide from the rebels. Chris Zorin and his Splat-Coat battalion stayed where they were to stand and fight.
Mysteeri can be seen running out of Zorin's office and to the cabin that Camille and Nebula were staying in. Sandra looked to Emerald and Sapphire to return to Suzy, and the two put their trust in the indigo inkling.
Sandra and Pyrrhus follow Mysteeri into the cabin and Jane's Family is already running off, Camille, Nebula, Beaker, and Guist were still inside with Mysteeri. Pyrrhus pointed his ink sword at Mysteeri.
"Camille! We're here!" Pyrrhus looked eager to splat Mysteeri.
"Easy there! She's a friend!" Beaker reasoned with Pyrrhus.
"But this is the same squid that was working with the Splat-Coats!" Sandra argued.
"But Nebula and I know her!" Camille reasoned.
"Hello..." Mysteeri seemed indifferent towards Sandra. She hands her a file."You must be the rebel leader's sister. Here's something."
Sandra looked at the file and cautiously took it. "Okay, can we go now? My brother's rebellion is going to level this place!"
"I'm staying," Mysteeri folds her arms.
"But Mysteeri, you can't expect Howe to--" Camille didn't want her friend to go like this.
"I have to have a word with the President, I don't think she knows yet that I allow your friend's rebellion to get in here," Mysteeri explained, "Besides, she never told me this was an internment camp for the Japanese. And the torture she allowed on you and Beaker there. That's unacceptable!"
"I know right!?" Guist agreed.
Camille sighs. "You'll be okay?"
Mysteeri nods.
"Then let's go, guys." Camille runs out of the Cabin with Pyrrhus, Nebula, Beaker, and Guist followed.
Sandra and Mysteeri were the only the ones left in the cabin.
"Why now?" Sandra questioned. "Why are you helping us now after all you have done against us?"
"My friends are worth more than what Howe is rewarding me," Mysteeri answered, "I couldn't just let Howe do this to the Neo-Squid Sisters."
Sandra was silent at first, but she replied with a nod.
"Good, now go!" Mysteeri leaves the cabin so that she can hide from the turmoil on Manzanar.
Before Sandra can leave she stops at the cabin doorway and looks back at Mysteeri.
"Thank you...," Sandra said before exiting.
Sandra started leaving the Internment Camp, ordering the First Wave to get every prisoner out of there. Once the prisoners were out, it was safe for James and Second Wave to pushing the artillery and demolish the camp to its original ruins.
And with that, Manzanar was nothing but ruins.
The Splat-Coats there has now had no rendezvous point for a counter-offense.
The Next Day...
Manzanar (Ruins), Inyo County - California, United States of America 11:15 AM
The reinforcements that Howe brought to Manzanar are already heading back to the Black Hills in the Great Plains. Three airships land to pick up the Splat-Coats; Howe came out with her Royal Guard to approach Mysteeri and Chris Zorin.
"You better tell me why you made this Internment Camp imprison people like me! Don't you know I'm of Japanese descent!?" Mysteeri sounded furious.
"Hmph, the Japs were there for a reason, and I have no trust in Inkopolis and their brands and their people poisoning my society!" Howe argued, admitting that she lied. "Camille and Nebula were only a huge factor in the Inkopolis influence."
"But it's racism! Do you expect the citizens to allow that!?" Mysteeri argued.
"The people follow my fashion, my traditions, and my way. A colonial-steampunk society where the Republic is praised!" Howe circles Mysteeri. "A pure community with pure ideals and no one shall taint it! Not even a Jap like you--!"
Mysteeri quickly grabs President Howe and stabs her right in the gut with a knife. "Some Republic you envision." She then pulls it out and leaves a few deep cuts on Howe's legs before the Royal Guard. "You can keep my ship and the place in government! Consider me an enemy of the state!"
Howe is carried by his Royal Guard. "Very well..... Go and side with these savages that scream revolution. I doubt you'll be of use to them." She then glared at Zorin. "As for you..... I'm reassigning you to the Black Hills... Do not fail me in the Great Plains!"
"Yes, President Howe." Zorin head into one of the airships.
Once Howe was onboard the airships, they take off and head northeast. Mysteeri is left behind in the ruins of Manzanar.
Mysteeri's allegiance is with Syer's Rebellion now.

Last time on Syer’s Rebellion:
Sandra has led her brother's rebellion to take control of the Fisherman's Wharf and later liberate San Francisco. Market Splatoon is already considering to let her join despite the insubordination. The rebellion is beginning to spread from the west. This also marks a sibling relationship starting to reform between Sandra and James. The Syer's Siblings were now working together to lead the rebellion to fight President Howe.
With California being liberated, with the exception of Manzanar and its surrounding area, Howe is furious of how Mysteeri has handled the rebels in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, Camille, Nebula, and Guist plot an escape attempt, wanting to get everyone out of Manzanar. Chris Zorin has yet to detect this plot.
The Revolution has now pushed forward.
Route From Sacramento to the Black Hills, United States of America - Time Classified
President Evelyn Howe heading to Sacramento from Washington DC only to find her air fleet evacuating loyalists and Splat-Coats. They now had to take them east, hoping to reach either the Black Hills or the Mississippi to make a refugee camp.
The Splat-Coats that were stationed in the Fisherman's Wharf report to President Howe about Mysteeri's fierce fighting abilities when fighting the rebellion. But they reported that Mysteeri retreated due to the rebellion's numbers and the speed of the raid. Seeing this as cowardice, she asked Mysteeri to meet with her in her quarters in the air ship.
"How dare you abandon that post!" President Howe ranted. "Do you have any idea how much is lost because of what you did!?
"I gave it my all, but it wasn't enough." Mysteeri was checking her ammunition. "The Wharf was going to be taken by them anyway. The group leading the rebellion are impressive, especially two indigo inklings."
"You should've stood and fought! " President Howe slams a fist on a desk. "You could've led my men to protect the Wharf! How dare you compliment the ene--" When she heard Mysteeri mentioned indigo inklings, her anger went away. "Two indigo inklings?"
" Do you know them?" Mysteeri questioned.
Evelyn Howe steps away and took a deep breath. She fixed her hair and pulls out from her desk a file on the Syer Family.
"They were an old threat some time ago, the parents to be exact." Howe holds out a photo of a young James. "And it seems their son must be going out for revenge on me."
"That's quite interesting, but that doesn't explain the other indigo inkling, and she’s possibly his sister." Mysteeri folds her arms.
President Howe shook her head and changed the topic. She puts the files away and then shows the photos of two Inklings: Camille and Nebula. "I'm reassigning you to a fort near Manzanar with a Splat-Coat battalion. Make sure that camp is secured so that we can have a rendezvous point to reclaim California."
Mysteeri took a closer look at the photos, knowing well about the Neo Squid Sisters. What are they doing here, she thought. She glared slightly.
"Is that clear, Mysteeri?" Howe asked.
Mysteeri was still looking at the photos. Minutes later she looked at President Howe and nods.
"Good, you're dismissed," Howe ordered.
Mysteeri carefully turns around and walks away. Now she wanted answers to why Camille and Nebula are in this mess. She walks out of the quarters and waits at the hull of the airship.
Meanwhile...
Carolyn Divalves's Manor - Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States  5:50 PM
Carolyn Divalves, the Neo Squid Sister's U.S. tour producer, has this manor that was once the mansion of a wealthy man who made his fortune from a unique magazine that inspired a magazine in Inkopolis. Like the wealthy man before Carolyn, she was going to have a lavish party for Camille and Nebula. However, since the Neo Squid Sisters are currently kidnapped, she welcomes their companions to the party.
Only Sandra, James, Wish, Marina, and Vix attended. Suzy, Emerald, and Sapphire were requested by Sandra to retrieve blueprints of Manzanar. The rest of Market Splatoon were preparing troops to liberate Manzanar before heading to the Great Plains. Pyrrhus was left on the Shinkiro in San Diego to take care of Vix's Galapagos Turtle, Reve.
Formal attire was provided by Jame's partner, Elizabeth, and security was organized by Abraham and Henri. Carolyn Divalves has Sandra, James,  Marina, and Wish accompany her to a swimming pool area with a grotto. She offers Sandra and James a soda; for Marina, water, and for Wish, jasmine tea.
Carolyn appeared with a violet gown with a fur collar. Her inky hair is made into a unique style and her shoes were ruby red. She sat at a table with her guests.
"I should say, you guys have done quite enough here on the west coast," Carolyn complimented, "I may be a simple producer, but looking at this war, in favor of seeing America back the way it was before President Howe drugged our society with this steampunk movement. We're nearly going backward."
"I guess you can say that we're concluding our battle West Theater and move onto the Center Theatre," James stated. He takes a few gulps from his soda, "And there, the Great Plains is what I'm worried about."
"Let's focus on Manzanar for now, James," Sandra suggested.
"Right." James nods.
"I swear Felix is going to kill me if he found out Camille and Nebula ended up thrown in an internment camp for people of Japanese descent." Carolyn is worried. "You need get those two and their friend out of there."
"Which is why I have Abraham organize the companies for a liberation. The victory over Manzanar would convince President Howe that the West has fallen. We'll be taking nearly half the country through diplomacy." James shows a map he has in his jacket, but Sandra has her brother put it away.
"What about Alaska and Hawaii?" Marina has been studying up on US history for a while now.
"They remain neutral along with the State of Texas," James replied, "I heard the Lone Star State has temporarily seceded and gained protection under Mexico until the revolution is over. The humans that lived in that state have always wanted to leave the Union, but they never got that chance."
"Well, now they're a republic of their own.... again." Carolyn called a servant and has them hand a plate of delicate snacks to the kids. "In any case, taking Manzanar won't be hard. Defenses there aren't that fortified; I mean it's enough to keep people in, but not enough to keep people out."
"We just need blueprints so that we can take out the Splat-Coats, apprehend the warden, and escort the prisoners out of there and back to their homes." James adjusted his glasses.
"That's why I've sent Suzy with her team of spies to get them." Sandra took a snack and ate it.
Something caught Wish's eye: an adult dressed in the usual steampunk fashion, but his attire was slightly red with a small badge on the front of his shirt, well-hidden and secured. The inkling was meeting with another similarly dressed inkling, and whispering messages that are hard to hear. Wish narrowed her eyes a bit and nudges her cousin, Marina, whispering to alert her about a possible spy. The two sneak away while Sandra and James were talking.
Vix somehow ended up between the two possible spies, overhearing them.
"How far is this fort?" Vix asked the two inklings.
The two unknown inklings were alarmed and grabbed Vix. Wish was right on time to push the two stranger down, and Marina carried them with her telekinesis. This caused a scene, but Carolyn was obliged to ask security to help Marina and Wish take the unknown inklings to a more secure area.
"Spies? In my manor?" Carolyn seemed annoyed. "How rude!"
Sandra ran up to Vix. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Vix felt like nothing bad has happened.
It turns out that the two inklings that Marina and Wish apprehended were Splat-Coat Spies, monitoring James and Sandra. They were doing this under the order of Chris Zorin after hearing that California is close to being liberated and that Manzanar is the only location that has yet to fall.
"The attack on Manzanar has to start now," James stated while walking up to Sandra and Vix, "Forget the blueprints--"
Sapphire arrived with a yellow envelope. "Here you go, Sandra."
Sandra gets up and takes the envelope. "Thank you very much, Miss Inktran."
James is surprised. Sandra looked at her brother and smiled. Their sibling partnership was going to be something for the Revolution.
After the party, Carolyn bids the Syer Siblings farewell; Sandra's party gathered to Independence, California where the Syer's Rebellion has managed to secure the city. This position was a knife pointing at the throat of the target that is Manzanar.
Inyo County Courthouse - Independence, California, United States  5:50 PM
At the courthouse, Sandra shows the blueprints along with the map of Manzanar. James places colored pieces on the certain area; blue represented Syer's Rebellion and red representing the Splat-Coats. And thanks to Suzy, Emerald, and Sapphire, their mission given by Sandra also had them acquire insight to the forces in Manzanar and the fort protecting it.
This was James's lecture:
"So far, the fort is in Kearsarge which is about 5 miles away from Manzanar, armed with chargers and burst bomb units. You can expect the inkomatons, Ichabods, and Tinmens, to be scattered around there with their ink muskets and ink cutlasses. But those clumsy bots aren't going to be the only kind of inkomatons, so steer clear of new bots. As for Manzanar, we're going to be fighting in a small populated area with civilians. That's going to be hard.
I'll have my Splatoon, Market Splatoon, to help deal with the fort. Sandra, I want you, Suzy, Emerald, Sapphire, and Pyrrhus to go and lead the raid on Manzanar itself. Remember, don't harm the civilians, so artillery and splat bombs might not be the best bet. We'll level that camp to the way it was found: ruins.
"What about us?" Wish asked. Her, Marina, and Vix were left out of this battle.
"We can't risk lives here, you three will remain here to study US history." Sandra knew that idea might suck, but it was something to keep them busy. "Besides, you two have medical conditions and Vix is blind. If you go out there, you'll end up in kingdom-come."
"Kingdom-come? Is that a place in the US?" Vix tilts his head slightly.
"We can take care of ourselves anyway," Marina replied.
"Hey, maybe we can get a train for you guys," Wish agreed.
"I have one question about heading to the fort," Suzy asked, "what about this aqueduct?" She pointed to the Los Angeles Aqueduct. "We would need to cross that, and the bridges we checked are all destroyed, except for one."
"Taken care of," James answered, "For now, you guys just take care of Manzanar."
"Understood." Suzy nods.
"We're going to get you back Camille...just hang in there...," Pyrrhus muttered to himself. He cares about her.
Sapphire places a hand on his shoulder and nods to him, caring about Camille too. Despite her small jealousy towards Pyrrhus dating Camille, she has already come to accept their relationship if it makes Camille happy.
Sandra and James both dismiss the team so that they can chat alone.
Back in the Coast of Inkopolis...
Telemachus and Celeste were at the hull of the The Great Unagi, the flag battleship of the Neo-Squidbeak Fleet. Kitzeh, the Hexapus Inkling-Octoling hybrid, came along to help out (And she had a fight to settle with Camille). They are tasked by Agent 7 to go after Sandra and assure she's okay; he has heard of unusual thing going on in the United States, and he wanted none other than Neo-Squidbeak Splatoon -- or at least half of what's left -- to go investigate.
The Neo-Squidbeak Fleet has two aircraft carriers, five battleships (including the flagship), a submarine, four destroyers, and a supply ship. The only ship that wasn't there was the Shinkiro.
"Don't forget we're finding the Neo-Squid Sisters and the Neo-Clone Sisters......and an inkatarian named Vix," Telemachus reminded Celeste.
"Correction, they're called Inktolings," Kitzeh interrupted.
"Inkatarian sounds more better," Celeste stated.
"Doesn't matter what they're called anyway." Telemachus looked out at sea and signals the captains to start sailing. "United States, here we come!"
Kitzeh takes this time to run up to the hull and spread her arms.
"I'm the queen of the world!!!" Kitzeh shouted.
The three have a long way to go.

Last time on Syer's Rebellion:
Sandra and James's family reunion was bittersweet; Sandra finally finds her family, but her parents have been dead for almost two years. The one to blame was President Evelyn "Georgia III" Howe, and she is the inkling woman running the country Sandra stands in. And now that President Howe has sent Camille, Nebula, and Beaker Jr to an internment camp for their Japanese ancestry, the two siblings are committed to getting the three back.
Meanwhile, Camille, Nebula, and Beaker Jr were sent to Manzanar, an internment camp that once housed people with Japanese ancestry under suspicion of espionage. And in this camp, an inkling woman named Jane, offered them a place in her family's cabin. The warden of the facility, Chris Zorin, tried to beat information out of Camille for the whole night with no success. Overall, their stay is not going to be short; they needed to escape.
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, San Francisco - California, United States of America - 8:30 AM
Vix, his pet tortoise Reve, Marina and Wish were in the lobby, eating some rations for breakfast. Carolyn left during the night, noting Sandra that she's heading south to hide in California.
"It's in the Fisherman's Wharf!?!" James was outraged. He slams his fist on a map of San Francisco.
Elizabeth has managed to find the underground tunnel system built by James's rebels that lead to a T-intersection of Baker Street and Beach Street. This was the only shortcut they had to take to reach Sandra's ship.
"Well, where was I supposed to put park the Shinkiro?" Sandra shrugged.
"What's wrong going there?" Pyrrhus asked. That inkling was there, wanting to help in any way he can to save Camille. Sapphire and Emerald were also there next to him, wanting to help as well.
Suzy places photos, covering up the Fisherman's Wharf on the map; they were photos of Airships and modified Ironclads, occupying that neighborhood under a military flag. Suzy then placed an electronic tablet showing a new article of the Martial Law placed on San Francisco to take out the rebellion built up there.
"The Mayor of the City has imposed martial law in this city," Suzy explained, "And they made the Fisherman's Wharf their base of operations until the rebellion that James built here is eradicated."
"That's the least of our problems," James's octoling companion, Abraham, points to an island and a bridge, "If you guys are thinking of using Sandra's ship to leave the city, you can forget it. The Splat-Coats will be using Alcatraz Island as a watchtower and the Golden Gate Bridge as a blockade gate. James, I suggest we leave by land."
"I'm not leaving the Shinkiro here!" Sandra objected.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think your brother should risk this," Abraham explained, "Besides we got other ships in others part of the States that you can command."
"But this one's a gift from my father..... the one that adopted me..." Sandra muttered half-way through her sentence. "....It's special to me." She hasn't mentioned Agent 7 for a while now.
Abrahams sighs. "You have no idea what you guys got yourselves into......but since you're her sister... I won't object to his orders." He walks off to wakes up Henri.
"We'll be taking the underground passage to get away from Splat-Coats occupying the Theatre," James was points from one area to another and makes a trail. "We'll be going through beach street hiding in a truck. I know some rebels that can sneak past security. Then we'll take Marina Blvd, then Laguna Street, and then Bay Street until we reach the Fisherman's Wharf, and trust me, at this point we'll be trespassing on hostile grounds."
"I understand the risks." Sandra already has a plan to pass through the Splat-Coats. "Is there a way to make a diversion and draw the militia away? Any place they store explosives and ammunition?"
"There's a warehouse that recently got inkstrikes that were confiscated from five different  toy stores." James points to the warehouse somewhere in the Wharf. "I can have my Splatoon detonate--"
"Suzy and I can take care of that," Emerald broke in. Sapphire nods in agreement
"And after that, we'll help Sandra and the party back to the Shinkiro," Sapphire added.
"...Very well, just don't get caught, Howe has those Splat-Coat do terrible things to prisoners." James sighs. "Then let's get to it."
"What about you?" Sandra looked at him.
"No need to worry about me, Sandra, my Splatoon has allies and we'll be leaving through a different route." James unrolls a map of a California broken in two. "I'm going to have the rebellion here gather their things and head south to San Diego. Meet me there once we, understand?"
Sandra nods. "I.... I just hoped you would come on my ship."
"Don't worry, I'm sure both of us can get out of here," James replied. He then saluted to her. "E Pluribus Unum."
Sandra looked surprised. "You learned how to speak Latin?"
"No, it's the motto of the United States." James soon took out his inky wrench, adjusted his glasses, and puts on his tricorn-shaped flat cap. "Now let's go. We got a Wharf to storm."
While Sandra follows her brother, she started reflecting on her life. She lost her family and found a new one in Circe and Agent 7, but they couldn't fill the void she had. And despite the things she enjoyed about living in Inkopolis, she chose to leave that city in Japan for the United States. And now that she has found her brother, she just wanted to spend the time that was lost between her and James. However, it seems James is leading a revolution, meaning he has little time for what's left of his family. The only option she can think of as logical is to join his rebellion if it means being by his side at times.
Elizabeth and Henri were already getting Vix, Reve, Marina, Wish, Emerald, Sapphire, and Suzy into the underground passage. Market Splatoon and Sandra later followed.
Sandra walks with Marina and Wish.
"You guys think you can handle a little adventure?" Sandra asked. She is aware of their medical conditions.
"We'll be fine," Wish replied.
"I'm sure we can protect ourselves," Marina agreed, "Besides, somebody needs to save the Neo Squid Sisters."
Vix was talking with James, riding the Galapagos turtle, Reve. He was asking the rebellion leader silly questions, but James was willing to answer.
"Are we going to save Camille and Nebula?" Vix asked.
"We are going save them, alright." James sounded confident at first, but then looked bothered. "We just need the time, the material, and a plan."
"What do you have in mind?" Vix wondered.
In the Fisherman's Wharf, Mysteeri was examining the bullets the Splat-Coats forged for her. She smiles and loads them into her dual revolvers. She stood on top of one of the buildings of the Wharf.
Meanwhile...
There has been a riot at the main gates of Manzanar; a number of inmates were using farming tools as weapons. Beaker Jr almost joined the riot if it weren't for Camille and Nebula. They convinced him it was too risky to break out of Manzanar in that way Jane agreed with this as well.
In the end, the riot failed to break through the gates, and this convinced Zorin to punish the camp. He had some Splat-Coats make an example out of one of the inklings, and they picked Beaker Jr.
Ancient Monument, Manzanar Cemetery - Manzanar 2.0, Inyo County - California, the United States of 12:00 Noon
The Splat-Coats has Beaker tied to a stone monument; there were faint inscriptions of a language nearly forgotten. The families with members that took part in the riot were taken there with ink-muskets pointed at their heads. They were forced to watch this form of torture be endured by the squid. Camille, Nebula, Jane, and her family were also taken there.
An automaton stepped forward with cladding in iron and steel. It was carrying Camille's steampunk roller with a wrench-club end. It used that end and started hitting Beaker with so much force, but not enough to break the monument.
Beaker took five blows from the club, and once it was over, the Splat-Coats untie him and he lays there. He groaned in pain with ink slowly trickling down his shoulders, arms and back. It stained his clothes, and it stained the monument.
The families were sent back to the camp; Jane's family did the same. Zorin allowed Camille, Nebula, and Jane to remain but made sure charger units were there in case they make a run for it. Camille can only feel distaste towards President Howe who allowed this in the camp. She wanted to stop this whole scene but she can't; the Splat-Coats will splat her to oblivion. It was either her life or his punishment. Nebula can only feel slight fear in this, but a sense of determination to find freedom. Jane and her family just only felt nothing but the grayness of this tragic moment.
Camille and Nebula quickly help Beaker up; he was in pain. Jane walks over with a medical pouch, and it contained a small roll of bandages and some medicine to soothe the pain. After Jane patches up the small cuts and stopped the bleeding, Nebula and her carried Beaker back to the cabins.
Camille is now the only squid remaining there; she can follow, but she stayed for a while to forget what she just saw, especially if it's something terrible done to a friend. Looking at the ink-stained monument didn't even help; she read the inscription: "Soul Consoling Tower", "Erected by the Manzanar Japanese". Still, that didn't get the image of Beaker being tortured out of her mind.
Camille's watch started acting up. It was the same watch her father sent her through a package. With a press of a button, Guist came out. He must've been hiding in the watch for a while since San Francisco was put under Martial Law.
"I heard everything! What happened?" Guist was worried.
"Those Splat-Coats beat Beaky up..." Camille clenched her fists. "And I couldn't do anything to stop it..."
"That's terrible, cousin!" Guist wanted to help in any way he can. "You sure you'll be alright?"
"...I'll be fine..." Camille took a deep breath and followed Nebula and Jane back to the cabin. Guist followed as well.
That night...
Beaker Jr has made full recovery but still felt some pain from the blows of the club. Camille and Nebula were in a bedroom with Guist, talking about how they're going to get out. Jane and her family were asleep at that time. They already thought of a number of options of how to get out of Manzanar, but they needed Guist to survey the whole internment camp to see if any of the options are possible.
"Anything for you, cousin!" Guist is obliged to do this task.
"That's great." Camille is smiling. "As soon as we get out, we better find a way to reunite with Sandra and the others."
"And I guess we're planning to leave the United States?" Nebula asked, knowing Sandra would not like that idea.
"Okay, I get it! Sandy finally found her family. We can go home, right?" Camille folds her arms. Nebula gave her a look, telling her that it's a big deal to Sandra. "...... Okay, I would feel like I've missed so much if I were separated from my family for years."
"And Sandra's brother seems to be up to something, and it has to do with President Howe." Nebula has yet to put together the big picture. "I know we're no longer Agents, but Agent 7 and Neo Squidbeak Splatoon need to know this."
"Speaking of them, I bet Uncle Sev has the brains to send Celly and Telly to go after us...... with the personal fleet he gave the Splatoon." Camille rolls her eyes, imagining Telemachus and Celeste leading the fleet across the Pacific.
"Speaking of our old Splatoon..... I wonder who they got to replace us..." Nebula looked curious.
Back in San Francisco...
The Fisherman's Wharf has been raided by the rebellion that James's built up in San Francisco. Sandra lead the raid without James's permission, and somehow it routed the Splat-Coats out of the Wharf. Jame's Rebellion in this city are now seizing all the arms in the Wharf to overthrow the Mayor of San Francisco. Suzy, Emerald, and Sapphire escorted Vix, Reve, Marina, Wish, and Pyrrhus to the Shinkiro so they can prepare to sail. As for Sandra, James, and Market Splatoon, they were in the Captain's Quarters of the Shinkiro to talk about what Sandra did.
Captain's Quarters, The Shinkiro - San Francisco, California, United States of America - 4:00 PM
James slams a fist on Sandra's desk. "Are you insane, Sandra!?!"
"Why wait for a chance to attack!?" Sandra argued. "Why not just take a chance! You're leading a rebellion for Great Zapfish's Sake!"
"It's a rebellion I'm leading!" James slams his fist on the desk.
"James! Restrain yourself!" Elizabeth begged.
"Restez calme, Monsieur Syer!" Henri commented. "They mistook her as you."
"But she isn't the rebellion leader!" James argued.
"That doesn't mean she isn't allowed to help," Elizabeth responded. She folds armed. "Your sister pushed the rebellion further. This is good."
"She was being insubordinate!" James glared at Sandra.
Sandra sticks her tongue at him before looking away.
"What she did was turn a tide in the war." Abraham was examining some maps in Sandra's Captain's Quarters. "At this rate, we can take Sacramento and reunite California." Sandra is looking at him. "...Why do you think we want you guys to head to San Diego?"
Sandra shrugs and rolls her eyes. "We still have the blockade at the Golden Gate Bridge and Splat-Coats in Alcatraz Island."
"We'll take care of them, but there's no need to sail to San Diego now," Abraham explained, "In fact, you can be helpful to the rebellion." He looks to James. "Thing might've not gone as planned as you wanted, James, but it seems three leaders are better than one. Besides, you two need time together as a family."
James, being regretful of the separation, didn't respond at first; he was looking at the maps and charts. When he did respond, he nods in agreement.
"Alright, I'll give my sister chance," James answered, "After all, thanks to her, I owe her one." She smiled at her. "How about I teach you naval tactics so we can get this ship through the blockade. I'll have someone raise a fleet to deal with Alcatraz."
Sandra reaches her hand out to him, offering a handshake.
"Sure thing, brother." She smiled back.
"....And sorry for calling you insubordinate..." James apologized.
"I understand, you're leading this revolution and it's you they should be looking up to... but understand if both of us lead, this can make thing interesting." Sandra gets up and walks around the table to stand by her brother's side. "And after the war, who knows what we can do?"

((Insert opening: https://youtu.be/IBF9XEsnvJI ))
Last time on Syer's Rebellion:
The Neo Squid Sisters and the Syer's Siblings split up with the Neo Squid Sisters continuing their concert tour southwest to New Orleans while Sandra and James continue leading the rebellion in the Central US Theater.
The Rebellion has managed to march their way to the Black Hills, gaining allies and advantages from malicious acts made by President Howe. Thus, they've easily surrounded the Splat-Coats around the Black Hills with the states in this theater having their favor in the Revolution. A victory in the Black Hills would mean half of the United States rising against President Howe. Before Sandra and James can start a battle that would bring an easy win, a familiar face appeared before Sandra, Telemachus.
Fort Laramie - Wyoming, United States of America - 4:05 PM
Sandra and James bring Telemachus back to the tent so that the Agent can explain himself.
"What are you doing here!?" Sandra is surprised. "How did you even--?"
"Neo-Squidbeak Splatoon has its own fleet, remember?" Telemachus folds his arms and shook his head. "They're docked at a port in Galveston Bay, Texas. Dicorus was generous enough to drop me and Celeste of in New Orleans." His explanation indicated at the fleet meet Dicorus's Fleet at the Panama Canal.
"So this is Agent 7's son?" James asked Sandra.
"Ehh...?" Telemachus knows that Agent 7 is his father, but he is illegitimate. "She told you that?"
Sandra sheepishly scratched the back of her head, regretting that she told James that.
Sandra then wondered about Celeste. "Where is Celeste by the way?"
"We managed to find the Neo Squid Sisters and a few others in New Orleans. They told me Pyrrhus, Emerald, and Sapphire are here," Telemachus explained, "Celeste and Kitzeh decided to stay to offer protection for Camille and Nebula."
"That's good," James commented.
"Nebula then told me you are with your brother, leading a revolution. Sandra, it's great you found your family, but Agent 7 and Circe miss you. Come back," Telemachus demanded.
Sandra didn't know how to answer; she hasn't felt at home living in Inkopolis, and Agent 7 and Circe never treated her enough like parents. James can see the hesitation and intervenes.
"I wish she could, but she has to stay here, the rebellion already looks up to her," James defended.
Telemachus calculated in his head the consequences that'll be made if Sandra deserted the Revolution. He steps back and turns around.
"I still need to follow Agent 7's orders... but if it means to help the rebellion, very well." Telemachus shook his head. "What is going wrong in this country?"
"Ever since President Howe and her administration came to power, they started perverting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They imposed, a steampunk movement and hoarded advance technology for the government. And don't get me started on her treatment of the people." James slammed his fist on the table.  "Her administration has abused Democracy for malicious intent, letting bakers run our country."
"Hmmm... I see..." Telemachus then noticed where their next battle is taking place. "You do realize the Black Hills are sacred, right?"
"We know that," Sandra acknowledged, "But if we put down the Splat-Coats here, all the Splat-Coats in the Great Plains will have to retreat to the East Coast."
"And Texas, Hawaii, and Alaska will rejoin in favor of the Revolution." James looked eager to end this.
"When will this battle commence?" Telemachus took a closer look at the battle plans.
"In three hours, Thunderbird has already deployed early to skirmish," James answered,"We expect this battle to end in tomorrow morning without a struggle."
Three hours later...
James and Pyrrhus have left -- with Telemachus joining them-- leading Coyote-Stallion on the ground raids. Sandra and Sapphire have yet to deploy and lead Peacemaker. The camps were already taken down and packed up for the trip to the Black Hills. Going on foot would have their army arrive late, and going by bike would almost make Peacemaker late. Sandra made the alternative to bring the army in the same route as Coyote-Stallion and stop at a memorial by carrier jeeps and go to the Black Hills from there by armored carrier vehicles prepared by James. It took half an hour to contact him through a cell-phone.
Route from Fort Laramie to Crazy Horse Memorial, United States of America - 5:35 PM
On the way to the memorial, Sapphire and Sandra had this conversation in one of the carrier vehicles. Sandra started it off with a question -- one relating around Sapphire, Pyrrhus, and Camille.
((In this part of the chapter, Sandra is narrating again.
Author's note: Like the back story, I developed for Camille, the timeline of the relationship between Camille and Sapphire is considered canon to my timeline only and is questionable towards the following users involved. In addition, this may change.  ))
The carrier jeep that Sapphire and I were in was driving at an average speed; it was enough to get us to the memorial. While the jeeps were moving, I wanted to know more of Camille's friends. And judging from what I saw between Pyrrhus, Camille, and her, I want to know what was going on between them.
"The first time I saw you, I've noticed something between you and Pyrrhus," I confessed, "And I already know Pyrrhus was probably a past boyfriend of Camille."
I first noticed this from the first concert back in San Francisco with Sapphire and Pyrrhus meeting face-to-face. They both looked hostile and it showed when Pyrrhus left the backstage and Sapphire followed him. And soon, I keep seeing those two meet together and talking about... something.
Before I can ask my question, Sapphire looked uncomfortable and embarrassed, but at the same time, she sounded annoyed by the fact I was monitoring this. Yet, she allowed me to continue.
"What about it?" She replied.
"Are you jealous that Camille is with Pyrrhus?" I asked.
This question caught Sapphire's attention, but she reacted negatively by turning her hands into fists. I should apologize while I have the chance, but my curiosity got the better of me.
"...Did something happen between you two?" I sat closer to her, prepared to comfort her if she broke down.
And the answer I got, surprised me. She sighed and looked down at her hands.
"Camille and I used to have something." Sapphire put her hands together. "She was very kind to me and we've been hanging out a lot... and then there was one winter..." Sapphire then frowned. "...I wish it would've lasted longer, but she belongs in the race tracks."
"Oh... I'm sorry for asking, it's just that you and Pyrrhus have this... rivalry going on--" Sapphire correct me on my assumption.
"We don't... I just didn't know Camille moved on with someone else." Sapphire looked at me. "I already accepted her choice, and I didn't want to upset her."
I can understand why she just didn't step in and tell Pyrrhus that Camille is hers. She's shy, but despite that, Sapphire looks out for Camille. And where Sapphy is shy and protective, Pyrrhus is somewhat chivalrous and devoted. Seeing Pyrrhus around Camille, other than what I've seen between them back on the Shinkiro, they seem like a couple. However, Camille told me back in San Francisco that this relationship wasn't a big deal. And I assumed they'll go their separate ways when they return to Inkopols, but they'll still be friends though,  I just know it. I can't help but agree with Sapphire: Camille loves racing.
"Do you think you'll get the chance to get together with Camille again if you had that chance?" It was a stupid question to ask, but I asked it anyway.
And Sapphire shook her head at me. I'll take that as a no.
Then about an hour and a quarter later, our army reach the memorial. In front of us is a sculpture that representing the model of what was supposed to be carved into the mountain: a man on a horse pointing into the distance. I've read something about the man on that horse; I can only remember the name: Crazy Horse.
Looking at the mountain where the memorial was supposed to be, only the head, arms, and shoulders were complete. The horse has yet to be sculpted.
Soldiers from the Peacemaker army managed to collect documents and information about the Crazy Horse Monument. When I read them I learned that the monument was in honor of a warrior who leads a people called the Lakota to fight encroachments from the U.S. Government. The construction the memorial started in 1948 and has been far from completion until now; the construction was abandoned.
There was no time to explore this unfinished monument as my brother managed to send the armored carried for me, Sapphire, and the Peacemaker army. In just a few minutes we were on the road again.
Another hour passes, and in twelve minutes, Sapphire and I can already hear cannons fire and ink drop splattering all over the place. Then there were the shouts of inklings and octolings and the clanking and hissing of inkomatons. Speaking of the inkomatons, I can even hear the steampunk stuff breaking apart.
When the carriers stopped the doors were opened and the army and we had to get out immediately and fight. Out there, the outcome was expected; the Splat-coats were already losing the ground. I can see the humanoid Salmonid, Chris Zorin, already fighting in a blaze of glory with just 25 men forming a square; they splatted in seconds. Pyrrhus and James were already splatting another Splat-Coat commander, running him over with one of the steampunk automobiles. Telemachus had some officer apprehended for James to interrogate. Their Coyote-Stallion army was tearing down Splat-Coat settlements. All me and Sapphire had to do was lead Peacemaker army to drive the Splat-Coats east. In the sky, however, the Splat-Coats are still struggling -- those soldiers of President Howe had some help from a certain inkomaton: an Angel.
The inkomaton has all too human with metal angelic wings. It was dressed in a simple white tunic, its eyes were blindfolded, and it's armed with a scale and a sword.
This is Justice.
"That must be on the Angels that Mysteeri was talking about." Sandra took out binoculars and took a closer look. "My Brother's air fleet won't last. She's tearing through them like zeppelins."
"Then we'll have to help them?" Sapphire insisted.
Sandra soon left the Peacemaker Army to split up and help take Splat-Coat settlements. She then looked to Sapphire. A few retainers were behind the indigo inkling.
"How, Sapphire? We don't have anti-aircraft weaponry, Howe has those nearly destroyed and stored away." Sandra looked at an abandoned steampunk vehicle. "But I think there's some way to reinvent it." Sandra got her retainers to go over to the vehicle and make haste in disassembling it and rebuilt it. "It'll just take a few minutes."
Soon an ink-musket was fired by a Splat-Coat, splatting one of Sandra's retainers. Sapphire turns around and gets behind a rock with an ink sword at hand. Sandra did the same, taking out her steampunk dualies; they guns have names: Lewis and Clark. They had to protect the construction.
A small regiment of Splat-Coats is already marching towards them. The inkmaton numbers were very low in their ranks: Tinmen and Ichabods were stripped of their metal armors and left as skeletal machines. However, there were two new inkomatons in their ranks: a living furnace that shoots flaring mists of ink and a patriot in leather and animal skin, mistaken as another Splat-Coat, carrying a modified charger.
"What are those things?" Sapphire watched with caution.
Sandra was quick to nickname her enemies. "Let's call them the Fireman and Frontiersman."
The Fireman stomps once and releases one wave of flaring ink. The Frontiersman aims his charger and charged it's shot; when the trigger is released, ink shots are fired automatically into three directions, hitting the rocks and one of Sandra's Retainers.
"How many inkomatons will President Howe commission to stop us?" Sapphire asked.
"Enough to try and splat me and James!" Sandra answered before questioning the ink sword. "How deep can that sword cut even when the ink runs out?"
"Deep enough to tear a limb..." Sapphire only fight when she has to, and now is the time.
"Can it cut through metal and glass?" Sandra asked.
"Inkopolis doesn't call me 'The Weapon Seamstress' for nothing." Sapphire smiled. After all, she crafted this sword by herself. "What's the plan?"
"I'm going to fill my special gauge and perform a bomb rush on the Splat-Coat regiments." Sandra then pointed to the Fireman and Frontiersman. "And I need you to disarm the Frontiersman and cut off the arms and use its charge against the Fireman."
Sapphire knows that the two new inkomatons are too close to each other, they can cooperate to splat her in less than a minute.
"Don't you see how close those machines are?" Sapphire questioned.
"Oh... my bad." Sandra is now thinking of a way around it. "What is if I draw the Fireman close to me, and you go after the Frontiersman? I'm willing to risk drawing a heavy-hitter close to here."
Sapphire didn't question it and nods.
"We understand each other then, now wait 'til I draw the Fireman close enough for you to go around and confront the Frontiersman," Sandra stated, "That's an order from your Commander."
Sapphire nods without question and offered to double the bomb rush. Both their ink gauges fill and the two started tossing numerous splat bombs at regiment and the weak inkomatons. The Fireman and the Frontiersman, however, took the hits and continued advancing. The Fireman was moving more faster.
Sandra shoots her dualies at the Fireman, trying to encourage it to move faster. When it's close enough, Sapphire sprung into action and sprinted towards the Frontiersman. The inkomaton that Sapphire ordered to disarm removes an empty glass flask, replacing it with a full flask. It was reloading. Sapphire kept sprinting and prepared her ink sword.
When the Frontiersman prepares to aim, Sapphire jump and slashes downward, breaking one arm. However, this wasn't the arm on the trigger, but the aim was lower. It's three shots missed.
Sapphire then cuts the hand holding the handle of the charger. She then knocked the Frontiersman down and deliver a few hacks to the chest.
Sapphire grabs the charger, pulled the machine's severed hand away, and recovered the empty ink flask. She looked back and see the Fireman being slowed down by a few splat bombs that Sandra saved up. The flaring ink the Fireman made Sandra's ink evaporate before the splat bombs can hit it.
Sapphire tried to reload the charger with her ink, but it was enough to produce one shot. She hasn't tried firearms in a while, but she knew how to fire a charger. She looked into the scope and aims at the back of the Fireman's head while the inkmaton is distracted. With one pull of the trigger and the shot hits the Fireman's head.
It turns out the Fireman's head is a helmet, covering a bust made of a furnace. The Fireman stops and turns to face Sapphire. Sapphire lowers the charge. The Fireman is distracted and not longer targeting Sandra and her retainers; it's now targeting Sapphire.
The Fireman slams its fists down and started charging towards Sapphire, but it didn't manage to reach 2 feet of Sapphire. A steampunk automobile rams into the Fireman, and it collapses with a huge dent. The fires from this Inkomaton are now put out.
James and Pyrrhus get out of the cockpit as their automobile loses power.
"...Thank you." Sapphire called to them. She was breathing fast.
"What is Sandra doing?" James asked.
"Anti-Aircraft is ready, ma'am!" A retainer notified Sandra.
Sandra puts her dualies, Lewis and Clark, away and runs over to the newly built weapon. Her retainers filled it with a tank of ink while James and Pyrrhus run over to stand by Sandra's side.
"Sandra, what did you do to this?" James thinks Sandra is crazy.
"Re-invented the anti-aircraft cannon, what did you think?" She gets into what was once a cockpit and turns the machine on.
"Sandra..... thank you." James know what she did this for.
"Go lead your men, take Sapphire with you," Sandra ordered.
James nods in understanding. He runs off with Pyrrhus and Sapphire following, making their way to one more Splat-Coat settlement to take for the Rebellion. Sandra focused on aiming the angel, Justice. Once she has the inkomaton in her sights, she places a finger on a button and took a deep breath.
Sandra rephrased her mother's words:
"No matter what happens, I'll stay brave. I'll keep moving forward and stay brave, even if all is lost and even if there’s nowhere else to turn. I know James and I will make our names known to the world like you and Dad. I'll stay brave!"
She presses the button.
The ink is fired.
An angel's metallic feather falls and lands on the surface of an ink puddle.

Last time on Syer’s Rebellion:
Sandra has led her brother's rebellion to take control of the Fisherman's Wharf and later liberate San Francisco. Market Splatoon is already considering to let her join despite the insubordination. The rebellion is beginning to spread from the west. This also marks a sibling relationship starting to reform between Sandra and James. The Syer's Siblings were now working together to lead the rebellion to fight President Howe.
With California being liberated, with the exception of Manzanar and it's surrounding area, Howe is furious of how Mysteeri has handled the rebels in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, Camille, Nebula, and Guist plot an escape attempt, wanting to get everyone out of Manzanar. Chris Zorin has yet to detect this plot.
The Revolution has now pushed forward.
Route From Sacramento to the Black Hills, United States of America - Time Classified
President Evelyn Howe heading to Sacramento from Washington DC only to find her air fleet evacuating loyalists and Splat-Coats. They now had to take them east, hoping to reach either the Black Hills or the Mississippi to make a refugee camp.
The Splat-Coats that were stationed in the Fisherman's Wharf report to President Howe about Mysteeri's fierce fighting abilities when fighting the rebellion. But they reported that Mysteeri retreated due to the rebellion's numbers and the speed of the raid. Seeing this as cowardice, she asked Mysteeri to meet with her in her quarters in the air ship.
"How dare you abandon that post!" President Howe ranted. "Do you have any idea how much is lost because of what you did!?
"I gave it my all, but it wasn't enough." Mysteeri was checking her ammunition. "The Wharf was going to be taken by them anyway. The group leading the rebellion are impressive, especially two indigo inklings."
"You should've stood and fought! " President Howe slams a fist on a desk. "You could've led my men to protect the Wharf! How dare you compliment the ene--" When she heard Mysteeri mentioned indigo inklings, her anger went away. "Two indigo inklings?"
" Do you know them?" Mysteeri questioned.
Evelyn Howe steps away and took a deep breath. She fixed her hair and pulls out from her desk a file on the Syer Family.
"They were an old threat some time ago, the parents to be exact." Howe holds out a photo of a young James. "And it seems their son must be going out for revenge on me."
"That's quite interesting, but that doesn't explain the other indigo inkling, and she’s possibly his sister." Mysteeri folds her arms.
President Howe shook her head and changed the topic. She puts the files away and then shows the photos of two Inklings: Camille and Nebula. "I'm reassigning you to a fort near Manzanar with a Splat-Coat battalion. Make sure that camp is secured so that we can have a rendezvous point to reclaim California."
Mysteeri took a closer look at the photos, knowing well about the Neo Squid Sisters. What are they doing here, she thought. She glared slightly.
"Is that clear, Mysteeri?" Howe asked.
Mysteeri was still looking at the photos. Minutes later she looked at President Howe and nods.
"Good, you're dismissed," Howe ordered.
Mysteeri carefully turns around and walks away. Now she wanted answers to why Camille and Nebula are in this mess. She walks out of the quarters and waits at the hull of the airship.
Meanwhile...
Carolyn Divalves's Manor - Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States - 7:50 PM
Carolyn Divalves, the Neo Squid Sister's U.S. tour producer, has this manor that was once the mansion of a wealthy man who made his fortune from a magazine. Like the wealthy man before Carolyn, she was going to have a lavish party for Camille and Nebula. However, since the Neo Squid Sisters are currently kidnapped, she welcomes their companions to the party.

Coming Soon: Project Prometheus (Sequel to Project Titanomachy) (Trailer)
((So I decided to shelve my idea for a card game based story of Project Titanomachy and went on ahead to plan a sequel to Project Titanomachy. This old characters will return, but new characters will be leading.
This will be taking place after Syer’s Rebellion
My focus is on the story of Prometheus, the children of Nyx, and Pandora and the Jar. 
Camille, Lee, and depiction of Callie belong to @inklingleesquidly
and shout out to @agenttwo @myzzy @son-of-joy @twelvetailedkitsune @a-demo-of-a-hero @alpinesquid @dreadangel  @teamuntyblue and others
This trailer is based off Journey into Nyx Trailer: https://youtu.be/gTGm-o3OXcA ))
[View the river Styx showing the events of Project Titanomachy]
How do you end your Hero’s journey?  Is it when you return home, knowing you’ve completed the quest? Or is it when you realize there are no more threats to your future? Or is it when you decided what you did in the past was nothing but a dream?
When will you learn that once you return to the ordinary world you will hear the call to adventure again? And that you must pick up her spear once more?
You would refuse to answer that call even if that refusal is part of the journey. In the end, you already know what to do just as what you did when the Titans came.
Hear me, slayer of Discordia, The Children of Nyx wait for you.
You know the road.
You know the destination
But haste and speed will not guarantee success.
Even for you, Miss Squidly.
[View a Greek God in a cloak made from dark clouds; he weilded a scythe and tools of the fates. In front of him are Lee and Callie trapped in a bronze cage. There was a wall of dark fire next to the Greek god and shows glowing silhouettes of three more dieties and one fallen goddess that is Eris.]
[Then view Camille and Sandra wielding a spear and lion cloak respectively, facing a Hydra.]
Stand at the top of Olympus once more.
The night will come to put out the fire.
[The Greek God holds the cage close and turns his back, disappearing. View the flooded ruins of a greek temple with a broken mural of Nyx and the family she made.]

((Insert opening: https://youtu.be/IBF9XEsnvJI ))
Last time on Syer's Rebellion:
Sandra and her party have arrived in America after a days out in the Pacific. The docked their ship, the Shinkiro, in San Francisco where it's kept by an Inkopolis, Japan embassy for safe keeping. And despite Sandra's defiance against her adoptive parents, Agent 7 and Circe, Agent 7 didn't take away anything nor did he revoke a license, a permit, or a citizenship. She didn't care about that, all that matters right now is that she's in America. Her search for a her family continues.
Right now, a Neo Squid Sister concert in Fort Mason was interrupted by a splat bomb and two ink strikes. And minutes later, San Francisco ended up under martial law with automatons directed to capture Camille and Nebula.
In the middle of the situation, they were saved by a Splatoon lead by an inkling Sandra knows: her brother.
Marina Blvd (Intersection), San Francisco - California, United States of America - 9:00 PM
Enter, James Hiller Syer and his team, Market Splatoon; among the splatoon are James's partner Elizabeth Phillips, his close friend, Henri Lafayette, and their octoling guardian, Abraham. Sandra can see their bioluminescence through the night.
"It's my brother!" Sandra recognized.
"Where?" Camille was looking up at the buildings.
"There! On that building!" Sandra points to the building that James and his Splatoon are on.
"You sure got yourself into a mess there, girls!" James began. "You two! Neo Squid Sisters! I'm a big fan of your music!"
Sandra soon steps forward and glared at him.
"Three years and I thought you, Mom, and Dad were dead!?!" Sandra snapped.
"Woah, woah, woah, who are you to say--?" James then recognizes his sister. "Sandra?"
"Who else?!" Sandra steps closer. " You've got a lot of things to answer, mister! Tell me why you, Mom, and Dad are here--"
"Sandy, get down!" Camille runs over and pulls her away.
A charger shot was made by the flying drones that were still present. Soon inklings and octolings appeared wearing blue coats with traces of red and tricorn caps; in addition to their uniforms were steampunk accessories and metal attachments. They were all armed with musket chargers with some high officers carrying pistol splattershots and ink cutlasses.
Market Splatoon can't take all of these out on their own, so James looked to the blue inkling on his left. "Henri! Let's supply them with weapons! That's my sister down there!" He then looked to the orange inkling on his right and the octoling behind him. "Elizabeth, Abraham, cover them for me! We'll return to help clear a path to them!"
The orange inkling and the octoling grabbed chargers from hidden stash nearby and they started protecting Sandra's party. James and the blue inkling started jumping from roof to roof until they reach a building where more weapons were stashed. They enter it and come back with a Dynamo Roller, an E-liter 3K Scope, Splat Dualies, and a Splash-o-matic, all in a steampunk style.
"Sandra, Neo Squid Sisters, kid, catch!" James looks to Henri and nods. The two throw the weapons off the building and to Sandra's party.
"Think fast!" Sandra ordered. She quickly reached out and caught the Splat Dualies.
Camille and Nebula went for the Roller and the Scope respectively. Beaker Jr went for the Splash-o-matic. Once Sandra's party is armed and ready, they fired the first ink-shots to repel the forces surrounding them. They still had to keep their guard up once the area was clear.
Beaker Jr looked up to see James and Henri return to Elizabeth and Abraham. The Market Splatoon looks down at them.
James began pointing at the weapons, tell them their names."The Splat Dualies are named Lewis and Clark. The Roller is named Stillson. The 3K Scope is named Molly. And the Splash-o-matic is named Paul."
"Thanks for the weapons, but you and I need to talk now!" Sandra sounded furious.
"We can talk later." James takes out his ink-wrench and a Splattershot jr. "Where are you guys heading?"
"Our producer said we need to head to the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre for safety," Nebula noted.
"That's a few blocks west." James pointed to the streets. "You can take Beach street and head there, but you'll risk bumping into those Splat-Coats. I suggest continuing your movement on Marina Blvd and run along the piers."
"We'll take the Boulevard then! Thanks for the suggestion!" Beaker Jr replied.
"Wait what about you guys?" Sandra asked.
"We'll be fine, we'll meet you there!" James adjusted his violet square glasses. "Alright Market Splatoon! Let's ride!"
James's Splatoon were jumping from roof to roof, making their way to the theater which was about a mile away. Sandra and her party went on the move and took Marina Blvd; the enemies that James called "Splat-Coats" were barely present in the area.
But what is made up for it are weaker and incompetent-looking automatons that looked like miniature British Grenadiers, but with buckets on their heads as hats. Some were riding mechanical horses that looked like skeletal prototypes; the horse head didn't even look like a horse -- it was more simple and eyeless. Camille jokingly calls these automatons "Little Soldiers" and those on horseback "Ichabods". Sandra giggled at those nicknames since she gets the reference.
But enough joking aside, these automatons and Splat-Coats were in the way, and they were already targeting Sandra's Party. They have no choice but to fight their way to the theatre. Sandra, Camille, Nebula, and Beaker Jr got their weapons ready for a battle.
"This is my first time fighting," Sandra confessed.
"Don't worry," Nebula assured, "We got your back."
"Beaky, ready?" Camille asked.
"You betcha!" Beaker is eager to refine his turf war skills.
Once the automatons and Splat-Coats detected them, they began approaching Sandra's party. Sandra and her team aim their weapons at them.
"Time some practice then." Sandra gave a smile. "Let's roll!"
(( Insert Battle BGM: https://youtu.be/mxvfieTkARI ))
Nebula quickly charged up Molly and fired are two snipers at a distance, and at the same time, she made an ink trail for Sandra and Camille to swim through and perform surprise attacks. Sandra and Camille did so, bringing the automatons and the Splat-Coats end up scattered in disarray. Their enemies were now firing at will and acting as if their commanding officer has been splatted.
Beaker Jr stayed close with Nebula to protect her while Camille and Sandra open a path for them to follow. The Little Soldiers were easy to take out and took either a few shots from a splat dualies or a slam from the roller to make them fall apart. It was the same for the Ichabods even if they had to dodge at their charges. As for the Splat-Coats, they were quite experienced and required a team effort to take most of them out to the point of routing them from the area.
When that happened, one of the Splat-Coats soon took out a flare gun and shot it into the air, signaling an airship to fly over and deploy heavy infantry. The automatons that tried to capture Sandra's team back at Fort Mason were back; they were bulky and powered with gears and steam engines, and they were armed with musket-shaped tazer and chargers. One of the automatons were armed with a large ink cutlass. Two were armed with a large splattershot can only fire one drop at a time and an ink hatchet.
"Steamhulks!" Sandra gave them a name.
The Steamhulk with the ink cutlass signals the musket wielders to close in again and splat them. Sandra was defending Nebula this time while Nebula aimed for weak spots on these brute automatons. Camille and Beaker Jr paired up and knocked each of the Steamhulks down.
The Steamhulks with their large splattershots and hatchets were about to take their chances in fighting them, but two inklings super jumped over and jammed their ink-blades into their backs. This automatically deactivates the automatons and they collapse. The two inklings jump off, revealing from the dust clouds to be Emerald and Sapphire.
"Anyone else wants to hurt my Quetzal!?" Sapphire tries to intimidate the final Steamhulk in the way.
The last Steamhulk with the large ink cutlass starts marching towards them, raising it up and slashing downward. It brings a small wave, making a straight line of ink. Emerald and Camille were near that range and rolled out of the way. The Steamhulk was about to go in and cut the squids down, but a hovering vehicle comes in and rams into the automaton.
Suzy was manning the vehicle. "Guy's hope on!" She lets down a rope ladder for the guys.
((End of BGM))
Emerald and Sapphire quickly run over and climbed the ladder. Camille, Nebula, and Beaker Jr followed afterward. Sandra was last to get on board. Suzy turns the ignition and carries her friends to the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, but as they reached the area, an inkstrike hits the rear of the vehicle. Suzy losses control and had to make an emergency landing at the front of the Palace's rotunda. No one was hurt when it crashed, but everyone had to move quickly into the building.
Only Emerald, Sapphire, Sandra, and Suzy were able to reach the entrance of the build, but then drone appeared and shot at Camille, Nebula, and Beaker. Instead of splatting them, hey injured them with a few inkshots. Emerald and Sapphire were about to go out and save the three, but they were pulled back by James and Market Splatoon Sandra and Suzy had to follow.
"Camille!" Sapphire called out.
"Leave them alo--" Emerald was cut off by James who pulled her back.
"There's no time, we have to hide you guys!" James reasoned.
"But what about--?" Sandra questioned.
"It's no use and attempting to save them means death," Abraham explained, "They're under President Howe's authorities now."
The doors quickly shut as Splatcoats come over to apprehend  Camille, Nebula, and Beaker Jr. Market Splatoon were taking Sandra and her friend to a hiding place.
One of the Splatcoats, an inkling woman in black and red, approached them on a horse. She was elderly with traces of yellow ink still in her hair; she had a unique regal expression and a calm look on her face.
"I am President Evelyn Howe," the elder inkling began, "and you two must be the Neo Squid Sisters..." She looked at Beaker Jr. "And you brought a friend to this world tour."
Nebula and Beaker didn't respond to Howe, but Camille had something to say.
"What's up with your guys targeting us, we didn't do anything violate your laws, you hag!" Camille questioned.
A Splat-Coat walks over and kicks Camille down. Howe kneels down and takes a closer look.
"Do not speak to me that way, miss," Howe commented, "You did violate the law."
Another Splatcoat takes out a glass panel with metal edges and shows a holographic document. "Under Executive Order 9066, all persons -- whether inkling, octoling, and so on -- that are of Japanese Ancestry will be reported for incarceration."
"You three will be taken to Manzanar where you will spend the rest of your American tour there," Howe stated as she stands back up.
"This isn't good..." Beaker whispered to Nebula.
"Get them on the carriers," Howe ordered her Splatcoats.
The Splatcoats followed orders with Camille struggling.
Soon two carrier hovercrafts landed to pick up the Splatcoats and Howe. Howe's hovercraft headed towards one of the airships, the hovercraft carrying Camille, Nebula, and Beaker were heading to Southern California.

When the Shinkiro arrived in San Francisco, one inkling recognizes the Neo Squid Sisters and later thousands gather. A producer and security from Hollywood were prepared to escort them and their friends to a 5-star hotel where a suite was waiting for them.  And it turns out that this producer is a friend of Felix Dahlia, the Neo Squid Sister's producer from Inkopolis. This producer introduced herself as Carolyn Bivalves, and she was her on behalf of Dahlia to put together a live concert for the fans in both the United States and Inkopolis, Japan.
The producer has already got a stage and equipment ready for their first concert in the United States. Nebula and Camille already have a video camera full of recorded videos from their voyage in the Pacific to show off to their fans. (It just needed some editing.) Sandra asked the producer if she can help out since she wants to play a guitar on stage; the producer agreed to it under some conditions, and she followed them quickly.
For now, everyone had a week to explore San Francisco. Pyrrhus, Beaker Jr and Vix going to the lobby to try out the food. Marina and Wish were planning out their tour around the city. Camille and Nebula, were at the roof to talk with their producer.
Sandra took this time to return to the Shinkiro to do some errands: restore the guitar she found on Jade's Island, practice it in within a week, and master it with the Squid Sister songs. And thanks to a visit to a workshop the next day, she had managed to restore the old broken guitar so that she can practice and memorize the music note of the songs.
When the time came, tickets were booked. Front row passes were given to Vix, Wish, Marina, and Beaker Jr. Camille and Nebula were getting ready for their concert with Pyrrhus wishing Camille good luck. Sandra was half-confident and half-concerned of her skills in playing a guitar when she prepared.
Fort Mason, San Francisco - California, United States - 7:00PM
A former US Army post is rented out by the request of the city mayor for a concert. But it isn't just any concert; it's the concert for the Neo Squid Sister's American Tour. Everyone all over the United States did not expect the girls to come to their country to perform. Now thousands of fans in the US finally get a chance to see their favorite musical squids on the stage and sing to them. Backstage, Sandra, Camille, and Nebula were hanging out with their friends before they're escorted to front row seats.
Sandra and the Crew were all in steampunk attire to fit in with the public. The tailor had to make a few modifications: he made sure Wish's clothes were light protected due to her hypersensitivity to sunlight; he had to make Marina's attire unflattering and instead go with long sleeves, worker's jeans and worker's boots; For Camille, she wanted her attire to match a racers -- instead, it mirrors that of a plane pilot. Overall, they wore clothing that's more closer to the Victorian Era rather than the 18 the century; still, it fits with the public. Pyrrhus was the only one that remained in his usual attire for several reasons.
Sandra wore a light mint green button shirt, a bleached leather collar and gloves, a beige corset,  a brown bustle skirt with leather belt, black inkling shorts, brown worker's boots, and her usual round violet glasses. On her head is a pair of goggles with green lens. The only piece of clothing that everyone in her party throught didn't fit her was a top hat with white pointed dog ears.
Once Beaker Jr. Vix, Marina, and Wish were off, only Pyrrhus was there with Sandra and the Neo Squid Sisters. Soon there was a familiar voice.
"Camille? Nebula?" It was Emerald's voice.
Soon Emerald and Sapphire appear out of some cardboard boxes. The sharkling agent, Suzy, jumps down and lands next to Sandra. Sandra steps away, startled as if she hasn't seen a Sharkling before.
"Emerald!" Nebula addressed.
"Sapphy!" Camille addressed.
Camille, Nebula, Emerald, and Sapphire run up to each other and have a group hug.
"What are you two doing here?" It was the first time Emerald asked on they let go.
"Ask Sandy," Camille points her thumb toward Sandra.
"I kinda dragged them along to help me find my family here in America," Sandra answered, "But we have others that joined in! Beaker Jr.! Vix! Marina and Wish! Camille's old boyfriend--"
Camille covers Sandra's mouth. "She meant Pyrrhus! She was drink sea water at one point during the voyage."
Emerald, Sapphire, and Suzy looked at Pyrrhus. He hesitated and sheepishly waved to them hello. Sapphire steps closer.
"But..... we kind of our more than friends," Camille admitted, "But it's not like that!"
Sapphire stares in Pyrrhus, and Pyrrhus closed his eyes and smiled. However, there was already a hostile vibe between them. Both replied with the same welcoming tone: "Nice to meet you."
Camille rolls her eyes, knowing this may lead to a rivalry over her. This is why I don't get into relationships, she thought to herself.

Camille covers Sandra's mouth. "She meant Pyrrhus! She was drinking sea water at one point during the voyage."
Sandra just gave her a look that says "really?". Emerald, Sapphire, and Suzy looked at Pyrrhus. He hesitated and sheepishly waved to them hello. Sapphire steps closer, she can see Pyrrhus's past self -- she can sense his past was a path of chaos.
"But..... we kind of are more than friends," Camille admitted, "But it's not like that, I swear!"
Sapphire stares into  Pyrrhus' eyes, then Pyrrhus closed his eyes and smiled. There was already a hostile vibe between them. Both replied with the same welcoming tone: "Nice to meet you."
Camille rolls her eyes, knowing this may lead to a rivalry over her. This is why I don't get into relationships, she thought to herself.
"Alright, Neo Squid Sisters! Sandra! Get ready!" Carolyn shouted.
"Good luck out there." Pyrrhus gives a quickly kiss on the cheek and runs off.
Sapphire see this and storms after Pyrrhus. Emerald and Suzy went after Sapphire. Camille had one hand on her cheek, the one where Pyrrhus kissed. She'll wash it once this concert is over.
Carolyn approached the Neo Squid Sisters and Sandra. She looked at Sandra and the guitar.
"You sure you know how to play?" Carolyn asked.
Sandra sighs and played the first verse of City of Colors by the Original Squid Sisters.
"Does that answer your question?" Sandra asked.
Soon, Sandra decided to stall the crowd with some music by Squid Squad, AXBY (or in this case the Chirpy Chirps), and Hightide Era. Camille and Nebula were chatting with Carolyn about the order in which the song would be played. Camille also suggested adding a cover song of their own as they were tired of singing songs by the original Squid Sisters, thinking it would be stale as the American tour continues. Once the songs were arranged, Camille signals to Sandra that they're coming out.
Sandra nods and holds for applause from the crowd. "Alright, America! Are you ready!?"
The crowd responded with cheers, demanding the Neo Squid Sisters. They were even chanting their names: Camille! Nebula!
"Live from Inkopolis! The Neo Squid Sisters!" Sandra leaves the stage and Inkopolis New Time is played.
It turns out that the Neo Squid Sisters were doing the new backstages. Camille and Nebula go through their usual broadcasting and at the end, Camille had something to say.
"Hey, Nebby, should we tell them!" Camille looked eager to reveal the "secret".
"Sure thing, Cammy." Nebula nods.
"Guess where we are!" Camille asked the fans.
Soon the screen turns off and lifts itself up to reveal the Neo Squid Sister with their back turned. The crowd screams with joy. Camille and Nebula turn to step out of the broadcasting room and onto the stage. They were waving to the crowd. Sandra returned with a few other musicians to offer their musical support.
"Let's make some noise!" Camille pumps a fist in the air.
Once the music began to play, the Neo Squid Sister began to sing the Squid Sister's Soundtrack: "Ink Me Up" and "Now or Never!", "City of Color", "Maritime Memory", "Bomb Rush Blush", and "Tide Goes Out." They also tried out their own song, "Children of the Ink", and the crowd went nuts.
The Neo Squid Sisters then tried out their cover song.
"Say, Nebby, how these repetitions are killing me! How about we show them our cover song?" Camille looked eager onstage.
"I'm with ya, Cammy!" Nebula replied.
"Let's do it!" They both cheered.
That was Sandra's queue with the band to play the song.
(( Song: https://youtu.be/GjezEjHTC-0 / Alternate: https://youtu.be/k3thHtNLCiQ ))
Their cover song wasn't from any band know to Inkopolis, but it was a human relic Sandra had kept in her phone's music player. She said it came from some fighting video game. Their song raises the rating to the roof in both Inkopolis and America.
When that was done, they ended their concert with Calamari Inkantation. But halfway through that song, there were was a commotion, then a few screams, a splat bomb and two inkstrike going off, and then the crowd dispersing.
Sandra surveyed the area and saw to pillars of rising in for in the bay; this was caused by the inkstrikes. They disappeared seconds later. The Splatbomb, however, managed to scare a group of Neo Squid Sister fans and caused a domino effect.
The concert had to end immediately; Carolyn deployed security to escort everyone to safety including Camille, Nebula, Sandra, and their friends in the front row.
Once the Security began escorting Camille, Nebula, and Sandra. Automaton appeared under stage floors and knocked the security units off the stage, they were now surrounding the three. Beaker Jr. jumped in to protect the girls, but he didn't have weapons.  Sandra left her splattershot and ink cutlass on the Shinkiro.
Pyrrhus immediately, escorted Marina, Wish, Vix, and Reve away from the stage. Carolyn gets them to somewhere safe; she phone calls Camille and Nebula, telling them to meet her at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre.
"Why get yourself into this Beaky?" Camille asked.
"I can't just let some friends get surrounded like this," Beaker replied.
"We don't even have any weapons, that's what makes this situation worse," Sandra implied.
"I can just do this!" Camille performs a Capoeira kick to swipe one of the automatons off their feets, but instead, she hurts her leg. "Owww....."
"Do every try physical combat on something made of metal Camille!" Sandra warned. "Not matter how fragile it looks!"
"You could’ve just told me earlier!" Camille argued.
"But you wouldn't listen if I told you! Who's to blame now?" Sandra folds her arms.
"Guys, no time to argue, they're closing in!" Nebula and Beaker are back-to-back.
Sandra and Camille did the same, but Sandra saw an opening to roll under the automatons and avoid capture. The two inklings quickly did so and Nebula and Beaker Jr. did that same to avoid their capture. They manage to leave the premises and escape by super jumping their way out of there, but the city was no longer safe.
In the streets, the automatons were everywhere, clad in red armor and armed with musket-shaped tasers; they all formed in battalions led by one automaton carrying an ink cutlass. In the skies of San Francisco, airships flew over the skyscrapers and buildings, watching over the city's inhabitants. The city now looked as if the mayor allowed marshal law to be imposed.
"We need to get to the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre," Nebula stated, "we don't have anything defends ourselves, so we have no choice but to sneak our way to there. We can't let these things capture us."
"Who knows what they'll do to us..." Sandra didn't want to think about it. "Why would my family live here and not tell me?"
"The real question is why capture us?" Camille commented.
Soon spotlights were all aimed at them from four different buildings, and a battalion of five automatons approached the inklings with aerial support behind them. Small drones with insect-like wings appeared behind the automatons armed with mini chargers and burst bombs.
"We're about to find out....." Beaker Jr. answered hesitantly.
Two of the automaton began closing in to grab Camille and Nebula. Suddenly two inky wrenches were thrown like boomerangs directly at the heads of the automatons, knocking them down. The spotlights were taken off Sandra and her party and ink shots were fired at the automatons surrounding them; unknown allies were on the roof, and they save them.
Sandra looked up, adjusted her glasses, and narrowed her eyes at the silhouettes on the rooftops. She can see their ink hair glowing with bioluminescence.
On one of the rooftops, there is an orange inkling, a blue inkling, and an octoling; they were all dressed in their own unique steampunk ensembles. Leading them is an indigo inkling in dark overalls, a cotton shirt, a colonial coat, worker boots, and a tricorn-like newspaper boy cap.
