PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING

This is my first story. (Except the one test story I published, ignore that.) If there are any errors, please mention that! If the story is non-lore friendly or simply just dumb, please say how I can improve. Also take note that I decided the main story for this before the final fest was announced, so it's set in a future where Team Marina would have won. I also don't know many features of this website, so if I'm doing something unnecessary, tell me. Anyway, have fun reading my first, short chapter!

Chapter 1: The Sea Sirens

Naomi stood within the crowd; her thoughts drowned out by the voices of the inklings everywhere. The excitement was real, considering they have been without idols for five years. As the night sky shone over Inkopolis Isles, words began to get more faint. That's when Naomi realized spotlights were on. Green and Orange, from left to the right. Suddenly, music began blasting from the speakers. They're here! Excitement lit up the young Octoling's eyes. Suddenly, two high notes streamed out of the speakers. Naomi could automatically tell it was two female inklings again, by the sound of their voice. But who?

And, as if out of nowhere, A green handprint appeared on the left. The crowd cheered. Then, an orange handprint appeared on the right. Like the last one, the crowd went wild. "How's it going, Inkopolis?!" A low, yet melodic voice shouted. The crowd screamed. On the left side of the stage, an inkling appeared. "Give it up for Twila!" Next thing Naomi heard was too loud to describe. Cheering, screaming, it was terrible. Twila made a gesture signaling the audience to quiet down. They did, which came as a surprise to the young Octoling. Twila had hair which faded from black to green, with what looked like diamonds on it. Her eyes looked permanently cheerful, a cute smile being the cherry on top. But then the clothes. It would seem like a normal green and black dress until you notice the obvious cleavage. This reminded Naomi of someone, someone from a long time ago. At least ten years ago. Then she remembered. Twila suddenly looked like the second coming of Marina. But it totally wasn't her, Pearl and Marina went missing five years ago, right?

"I hope you're all staying fresh!" A second voice called, low and rough. The crowd cheered once again. That's when another, orange inkling appeared. "Give it up for Zoe!" And this time, the cheers were quieter. Her hair very similar to Twila's, what would be green was neon orange. Her outfit was a golden, short dress. Their appearances are basic. It was obvious Twila was the favorite. But Naomi, she found Zoe better. Her voice, her fierce, fiery eyes, her hair, and outfit. "And now, the moment we've all been waiting for…" Twila stepped closer to Zoe. "Our first song, Flowing Colors!"

As the song ended, the cheers were louder than before. "WE ARE THE TWILIGHT TWINS!"

They stepped aside. "And now, for our first Splatfest…" Zoe called. On the screen behind them, appeared the two Splatfest teams. "Nighttime vs Daytime!"

But back in Inkopolis Square, a war was beginning.
