A Race Away

Chapter 1

The Hatred of Blood


For years I've been taught that there was a race beyond our beautiful city, a race that was cold, brutish, barbaric, vile, and the absolute filth of the land.

A race that was not even meant to contaminate our vision..

These were the Octarians, a species that contrasted our squid physique with an octopus one.

My mother had told me about them, as had my father, my teachers, the news, every single outlet of my society indoctrinated me with this view.

But what would I do if I actually met one? Thanks to Cap'n Cuttlefish, I had.

And may I say, they did look very ugly!

That was all changed however, when I met one special Octarian...

"Good job, kiddo!" an eldery inkling congratulated a much younger one, one that had bright orange hair, "You took care of those Octarians for good!"

"It was nothing..." the young Inkling grinned, "Just another day workin' for you, Cap'n."

"I couldn't have picked anyone better myself, Splat." Cap'n Cuttlefish chuckled and stroked his beard,

"You need another batch of them handled or na?" Splat asked as he looked at his Hero Shot, "I'm willing to go another round."

"Wow, you really do like this job." Cap'n Cuttlefish said, "Do you have a vendetta against these guys or what?"

"No, just following orders." Splat responded, "Plus, I thought these guys were so bad!"

"They're bad because they want to take over Inkopolis." Cap'n Cuttlefish said, "But not everyone of them wants to do that."

"What do you mean?" Splat said in confusion, "They all want to take over our city!"

"If some surrender, don't splat them." Cuttlefish said, "Let them go."

"You never said that." Splat mumbled,

"I also never said to just run and gun everything down." Cuttlefish sighed, "Ah... it's whatever, if you want to go home, you can."

"Alright, good night Cap'n." Splat dismissed himself.

"I'm telling you, Splat." Splat's mother said as she served her son, "I don't like you hanging around that old man."

"But ma..." Splat groaned,

"No buts, mister." Splat's father added, "That guy is taking you to see Octarians, and we already told you about them! You do not go near them!"

"Dad, I'm splatting Octarians!" Splat argued, "Plus, I'm 17! I'm no longer a minor!"

"You're a minor as long as you live under our roof!" his mother argued, "Now go to bed, and if your father and I see you going on any wild adventures, we'll prohibit you from turfing for a month!"

"What!?" Splat said in shock, "Oh come on!"

"Yes, come on." his father rolled his eyes, "You know we are."

"Argh..." Splat muttered and stomped his foot, "I won't stop until all those Octarians are defeated!" he said with much enthusiasm, "I have to save the city!"

"You aren't saving anything!" his mother yelled, "You just play around splatting ink on your friends!"

"But there is an Octarian Invasion coming!" Splat groaned, "Why won't you all believe me?!"

"Because no good son of ours would immerse himself with those barbarians." his father grumbled, "And I don't want to hear anymore of this."

"Bu-"

"No!" his father yelled,

"Bu-"

"No buts!" his father exploded, "Go to your room!" he stood up and pointed to the stairs,

"Fine..." Splat growled and left the dining room in anger.

"Hmph." Splat grunted as he looked out his window, seeing the splendor of Inkopolis at night since his family was somewhat rich and could afford a condo so close.

"Stupid dad." Splat murmured and hit his pillow, "I'll show him! I'll show all of them I'm a hero!" he stood, "I'll destroy all the Octolings! Every single last one!" he pounded his fist, "I'll show them, Starly." he turned to his aquarium, where a spiny seastar lay at the bottom.

"It really seems you're the only one who understands me." he sighed as he tapped the aquarium, the seastar waved back with one of its arms, "We'll destroy them all." Splat laughed and left one of his books near the aquarium, then walked over to his bed and crashed.
