This is my first splatalot fic, not really much to say but I hope you enjoy, if you do, please drop a review ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Splatalot and season 1 was way better than season 2
They came like the others but were different from the very beginning. The defenders were doing their job: make attackers of the castle splat while mocking, intimidating them and sometimes the other defenders. Three defenders guarded the moat, joined by Dick and Dom's voices on a speaker. About seven brightly coloured attackers in matching helmets and life jackets had run the course of the moat when an odd sight stepped up to the starting pad. Two boys stood there looking at the moat and defenders oddly.
"Uuhh, sorry lads, one at a time." Dom said.
The two boys looked at each other and shrugged. One stepped forward.
"All you've got to do is run the course and get to the exit. No shortcuts." Dick said.
The one who stepped forward was the shorter of the two. His hair was flaming red (not literally flaming but it looked like it could have been) and gelled up into a mohawk point. He wore a mask over his face so no-one could see under it. He didn't wear a life jacket, just a dirty white t-shirt and combat shorts.
"And without the extra stuff on you too." Dick added.
The boy took off a strap from his back which held two swords, and his fingerless gloves and dropped them on the floor. The klaxon sounded and he dove into the water and climbed up onto the first barrel. He bounded across them and onto the slippery slope. Thorne loaded one of the guns and began firing splat balls at him while shouting,
"Give up the act! No more silent stuff, say something!"
The boy replied as he caught one of the balls, shocking the defenders. "Alright."
He threw the ball back at Thorne who ducked as he began to run along the rolling mace. He almost made it all the way but got caught on one of the spikes and fell into the water.
"Ohh!" Dick and Dom said simultaneously. "That's the first splat for the silent attacker but he's straight back up and onto the impossible incline."
The kid slid down the slope and jumped onto the platform. He finished the rest of the course with a time of barely 2 minutes.
The taller boy stepped forward. He wore similar clothes to his partner but already without his gloves and the bow on his back. He had long dark, dark blue hair tied back in a ponytail. He too wore a mask but his covered the eyes as well, confusing everyone.
He got up to the battle axes with barely any hassle despite Thorne and Skabb's best efforts. The waterfall that came down on him while he was on the second axe knocked him off, but he was fast to get back on the platform and ready to cross the bridge. Ballista stood above him on the balcony aiming the water cannon as he prepared to run. She hit him in his first two steps making him wobble and fall into the moat. He stroked to the final jump and climbed up. He gripped the pole and leapt through the water from Ballista and rolled onto the finishing pad. Although he took a bit longer than his partner, he was still guaranteed a spot on the next round.
