Dead bodies are being found in the New York Harbor. The police have no clues nor suspects until Nick and his partner, Baseball Hall of Fame legend Sammy Sosa, realize the killer is a giant octopus. Nick and his partner, Sammy Sosa, confront the octopus and wrestles it as it try to eat another victim. Nick fails and the victim is eaten. Nick's partner tried to lure the octopus away from Nick using a craine and the octopus closes the crane with its tentacles. Nick's partner, Sammy Sosa, gets eaten alive by the octopus. Spedders heads back to the harbor to kill the octopus. Initially, he thinks he blows up the octopus. He proceeds to rescue a bus full of children with Rachel. The octopus returns but is killed by Nick Spedding and another officer before it can attack again. However, the octopus survived the attack and it is revealed that Sammy Sosa used his DNA to create a octopus/baseball player hybrid that could hit 8 homeruns at once. After the octopus rises from the river of fear it makes its way to the baseball stadium where it will win the game for sure. Just before it can reach the stadium Grant and hus team reanimate Sammy Sosa and send him 6,000 years into the future to retrieve the key. Once Sammy Sosa returns from the future, they use the Key to power up a moray eel mech suit(the octopus' only natural predator). The Eel mech eventually wins the battle, but at the cost of millions of fatalities. With the battle won, Bernard and his team realize that Sammy Sosa is running out of life force. It is revealed that he used the last of his energy to defeat the Octopus mafia in the future and brought back the key as his gift to humanity. Sammy Sosa peacefully passes away by the river. And a devastated New York City begins to rebuild.
