Hello everybody! Before I say anything, this is not my first Splatoon fanfic! The others were just really bad. But since I like the plot of this one, I think I'll finish it. Anyway enjoy!

First there was one crack, then suddenly another. Soon the whole egg had hatched and out came a mint green squishy, eyes still closed as the small child slept. Connie Zueler was the first to notice the hatchling, her bright green eyes staring at it with an enlarged smile. Connie was so happy. She waited a long time time for the egg to hatch, and now it finally did.

She cradled the child in her arms, slightly touching below it's eyes with her long navy blue tentacles. He was so beautiful.

"Mommy!" Connie's eyes shot up as she looked for the owner of the voice. "Mommy look I-!" Connie heard the voice come to a sudden stop. Behind her, was her first son, Lee, a Navy Blue inkling that was slightly taller than ones his age. Lee's eyes were wide open as he looked at what his mother was holding in her arms.

"Lee, this is your little brother, Payton." A new sibling? He knew the thing would hatch but it seemed too soon. Lee walked to go sit next to his mother, getting a better look at his little brother. He slept soundly, actually he was kind of adorable.

Suddenly, one of Payton's eyes fluttered open, revealing a big bubblegum pink eye that shined so bright, it could blind someone. Lee wanted to look away, but for some reason, he couldn't. Once the little inkling was aware of its surroundings, he opened his second eye. But to everyone's surprise, the second eye was a completely different color, being neon green like the female that was holding him. Lee looked at Payton's eyes with amazement. Lee held out his arms and looked up at his mom with pleading eyes. The female inkling knew exactly what Lee wanted, so she handed the small newborn she was holding to Lee with a calming smile. Lee looked at the inkling and felt like he was being forced to protect the inkling, he just didn't want to let it go.

-Time skip-

5 years later, now 14 year old Lee was showing the 5 year old Payton his favorite weapon, the Aerospray RG. Payton was a smart and gentle kid, so Lee wasn't afraid to let him touch his most prized possessions.

"and the sub weapon is the ink mine! When an enemy is near or the opposing team's ink covers it, the mine will reveal itself and explode!" Lee always sounded excited while describing ALL of his weapons to Payton, and Payton was always excited to listen. Payton stared at the weapon with delight as he fiddled with the trigger ever so gently.

Lee then looked up, disgust took over his features. Payton was so entranced in the aerospray to even notice that his older brother had walked away from his former spot.

Suddenly, a shriek was heard from the kitchen. Payton's head jolted to the high pitched sound. He wanted to get up, but he sadly didn't have any legs yet. Luckily he wouldn't be stuck there too long, for an arm scooped him up and carried him out of the house. The pale green inkling grunted with discomfort, looking behind the owner of the arms. He stared at the open front door. A bright light he couldn't describe reflected off of the wooden door like the sun.

He soon found himself on a sidewalk with his older brothers magenta eyes staring right at him.

"Payton are you alright? Are you hurt?" Lee had the most fear on his face that was even possible, looking the mint green inkling up and down while still cradling him since he still doesn't have any legs yet.

"What's going on? Where's mommy?" The green inkling ignored his brother's question worrying about other things first. Lee looked back at the house realizing that multiple windows have already shattered and fire was starting to become visible from the outside.

When the blue inkling turned back around, he just hugged his younger brother holding him as tight as he could, tears starting to form in his eyes.

"I'll tell you later, just don't worry about it." Payton stared at the burning house. He felt like he should've been effected, but he didn't even understand what was going on. He decided to close his eyes, hoping to fall asleep. He payed no attention to the sirens that were getting louder by the second. He just wanted sleep.
