A Long Winded Authors Note

Hi. My name is Danner, and welcome to my first fanfiction story. I will probably look back on this after writing a few more stories, but it works for now.

This story is one I have told to myself when bored, and tacked on more after a while. I have many stories of this caliber, but I thought that Splatoon would be a good fandom for my first story.

Now that that's settled, time for some story related disclaimers. First of all, this story will not follow the exact Splatoon story line. This will start from the extinction of humanity from how I would see it. Yes, I realize that there is an actual reason for humans dying out in the game, but I didn't know it (and still don't) while telling this story. On that subject, not as much time has passed between modern Inkopolis and when humans f'ed up. It's still a considerable amount of time, just not quite so drastic. And finally, I do not own Splatoon. That much should be obvious. The only characters I own are Dani the human and Ella the inkling.

Now, because you've read this far, you might as well get some story related material.

The Beginning of the End

Dani was having a crappy day to say the least.

She slept in a half hour longer than she should have and had to hastily get dressed. Throwing on her signature jeans and sweatshirt, she attempted to quietly sneak down the stairs and hallway. After shoving a piece of toast in her mouth and tossing on her backpack, she quietly closed the door, and proceeded to run to the bus stop.

The creeps at her high school seem to be attracted to her like moths to a flame. Even though she had turned them down multiple times, that never has seemed to stop them. And if that wasn't bad enough, it was only her freshman year, and out of all the sluts at the school, they had to go for a shy, lonely girl that preferred the comforts of reading and gaming rather than human contact.

By the time she got to PE, she was a mess. While grabbing her gym clothes from her locker, she checked her reflection in her mirror and grimaced. Her brown hair, dyed green at the tips, was usually slightly curly. However, after dodging jocks and nerdy virgins trying to get some action, some was sticking up in clumps at weird angles. Her slightly tanned skin was interspersed dotted with bruises, for reasons she didn't like discussing. Her chocolate brown eyes were complete with dark bags thanks to a combination of consecutive all-nighters, and a never ending quest of blocking random texts.

She quickly applied some makeup to hid the bruises and hastily threw on her gym clothes. She didn't want to be late for an easy class.

Some time later...

After sitting through the rest of her morning classes, she headed off to lunch. She was in a love/hate relationship with the period, as it was when most people were around her. Yet, she was able to head off to the library during that time. This day wasn't much different.

After grabbing some food, she headed off to the sacred room. While school was a hell hole, at least there was the safe haven of the library. She had access to all of her favorite authors, it was relatively empty most of the time, and because she befriended the librarians, they allowed her to use the computers for games, something that every other student was prohibited from.

This day, she choose to reread one of her favorite books about a modern day son of a sea god while listening to a musical about a founding father. A librarian took notice of her and walked over.

"Hello Dani," she said in a caring tone, "same dilemma as always, I presume?" Dani simply nodded, engrossed in the story. "This is the only safe place. They're too intimidated to come in because they probably just learned to read." The librarian chuckled at the response. "Well, if you need anything, you know where to go." And with that, she left the teen.

Afterschool...

Dani rushed out of the classroom as soon as she could. She had nothing wrong with Science, she even enjoyed the class before. However, the government censored so much of the field, you could barely call it "Science". But the real problem for Dani was getting home. The school was at it's worse time. She had to get to the bus before the sex hungry perverts found her. During Science, a merciful peer informed her that one of the popular groups sold some nerdy freshmen her bus number, for no other reason than to get some cheap laughs. She hoped that by getting to the very back of the bus and burying her head in her work would throw them off. Luckily for her, she was only spotted right as the bus doors closed.

She was relieved, and the only hiccup she had was some geek asking for her number. After realizing he wouldn't take no for an answer, she gave him an easter egg for God of War and sent him off.

Once in the safety of her home, she decided to turn on the news.

She never expected what she saw.

"Breaking News. The U.S. has fired nuclear weapons on North Korea and Russia. We are now at war."
