AN: Hey there rock 'n' rollers, this is TurquoiseTriangle (call me Cheah). If any of you read my last story, you would be probably thinking this; 'WHERE IS FORCES UNITED 2?! IS IT OUT YET OR NOT?!'. Well, because of interest and time, I decided to write a Splatoon story and save the Forces United story for later. This is my second story AND my first Splatoon story. This will be based on the Hero Mode and Octo Expansion from Splatoon 2, including Splatoon GMOD videos and memes. I don't own the game and I only own part of the plot and my OCs.

I believed this title of the story is the same as another story a few months ago. Whoever wrote that story, I'm sorry that I used your story as I came up with the title before you uploaded the story.

Enough with me talking, sit back, turn up the volume and get ready for a colorful ride.

Dedicated to my brother - who finished high school this year. Keep on going.

Dedicated to my friend, Infinite's Ruby and those who struggle with life.

We have all been here before.

In this madness, this guilt, this despair

We are weak, scared and lonely

But we are filled with hope

Inkopolis; one of the largest cities in the world. Those who lived there are the Inklings. They are creatures who can transform from humanoid forms to squids though they mostly stay in their humanoid forms. They live a happy life with fresh new fashion and a sport they always enjoy; Turf War.

About the Turf Wars, two teams of four battle out to cover a map full of their color ink. They can splat each other resulting in them needing to get back to their spawn points.

Anyway, the Inklings were not the only species living on the earth. Below are the Octarians. A century ago, Inklings and Octarians were great friends, but rising sea levels forced them to fight each other. In the end, the Inklings won with the Octarians retreating to the underground; a place with an unacceptable condition.

The Octarians don't like the Inklings for one thing; they don't TRUST them thinking that the Inklings are cruel and selfish. They plan to attack the surface and wipe out the Inklings, but a secret group of agents fought them back.

The Octarians - to the agents – are cruel and selfish. But not all of them…there are some agents who are like us; weak, scare and outcast. But despite those facts, they can go through the hardest times.

And that is the main point of this story.

Chapter 1 - Enter the Inklings!

Inkopolis Square (at a Turf War stage), 9:51 am, 17/06

The fresh breeze flew in the air as the Turf War was about to begin at Blackbelly Skatepark. On one of the spawn points at one of the ends of the map, a group of four mint green Inklings came up; Team Trend.

One was the leader; an 18-year old male Inkling named Oro with a spiked-comb back hairstyle, golden tips on his hair and have green eyes. He wears Fake Contacts, a Birded Corduroy Jacket, short jeans and Orca Woven Hi-Tops along with wielding the Splat Dualies.

Another was a 16-years old dark-skinned male Inkling named Hunter who has his hair shaved to a buzz cut with emerald green tips and have green eyes. He wears a Paisley Bandanna, a Green Zip Hoodie, long pants and Hunter Hi-Tops along with wielding the Glooga Dualies.

The third one was a slightly tan skinned male Inkling named Mauve, three years younger than Oro, his hair styled as a short flat, spiky Mohawk with magenta tips and have navy blue eyes. He wears a Jellyvader Cap, a Green V-Neck Limited Tee, shorts and Cyan Trainers along with wielding the Dark Tetra Dualies.

"Alright," said Mauve confidently. "Let's get out there and show them what's done!"

"Wait," said Oro. "You're new to our team. I know that you're good at this, but when you don't have a plan, you will lose."

Mauve snorted. "Oh C'mon! How bad can it be?"

He ran off the spawn point and advanced further into the stage.

"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!"

Hunter sighed. "He owes me ten bucks if he gets splat in ten seconds."

And ten seconds later, Mauve was sent back to the spawn point.

"Ok…" said Mauve after re-spawning. "Maybe you're right. So what's the plan?"

"Well we lost a bit of time, so I'll be quick," said Oro adjusting his dualies. "Hunter will paint the left side. Mauve will paint the right side. I'll paint the middle. We'll meet each other in the center. And then near the end, we'll use own special weapons."

"Then let's go already," said Hunter putting his bandanna over his mouth. "And by the way, what about the spare player you invited since Sunny is busy?"

Oops. A fourth player was coming with them, but he's playing to fill in their missing member.

"Oh," said Oro. "Don't worry. We already discuss our plan."

"Yeah…" said the mysterious player.

The match started, and the team put everything in the plan. They split up and ran at different locations while firing ink from their weapons covering the ground in a fresh mint green ink.

"I wonder who we are facing today," thought Oro. "Too bad I didn't check earlier."

They met up in the middle. In the center is a large tower. Whoever claimed it would get an advantage.

"Yes!" said Oro. "We got here first!"

"NOT SO FAST!" yelled a voice.

A gold ink ball splatted in front of Oro. It went everywhere, taking a bit of harm on Oro.

"Oh my…"

In front of them - on top of some of the small towers - are their opposite team — four golden Inklings.

One was an 18-year old tan-skinned female Inkling with the bob hairstyle that has bubblegum pink tips and yellow eyes. She wears a Pearlescent Crown, a Light Bomber Jacket, a golden skirt with long leggings and Gold Hi-Horses along with wielding the Luna Blaster Neo.

Another one was a 15-year old female Inkling with long bangs that have red tips and have purple eyes. She wears a Special Forces Beret, a White Inky Rider (the badges are gold), shorts and Punk Whites along with wielding an N-ZAP '85.

The third one was 16-year old dark-skinned female Inkling with her hair tied up in a bun that has navy blue tips and navy blue eyes. She wears a Golden Toothpick, a White Leather F-3, long pants, and N-Pacer Aus along with wielding a Ballpoint Splatting.

But the leader of the team was a 20-year old brown-skinned male Inkling with his hair tied up in a ponytail (with a white hair band) with red salmon tips and have brown eyes. He wears an Eminence Cuff, a Milky Eminence Jacket, long pants and Milky Enperrials along with wielding the Enperry Splat Dualies.

Oro felt lucky. "Well isn't it Team Bright; the two times tournament champion team!"

"And isn't t Team Trend hither," said Angelo – the leader – deadpan.

"Well it would be such an honor when we win in this battle against you!" boasted Oro.

"You think so?" mocked Angel – the girl wearing the crown. "You're not the freshest squid around here NOT the brightest!"

Hunter sharply drew in his breath. That would be something you wouldn't want to say to Oro. Even if THAT'S true.

"Oh," said Oro angrily. "You want to fight. Then you're in the right spot. Go in for the kill!"

Hunter and Mauve joined the fight. The colorful ink of mint green and gold were flying everywhere.

"ARGH!" screamed Mauve as he was splatted by Mary – the girl wielding the powerful N-ZAP '85.

"Carp…" growled Hunter after he was splatted and his ghost was flying back to the spawn point.

"Darn," said Oro. He was all by himself, and he couldn't fight in a four vs one fight. He fell on his back.

Mary swam in her squid form in her ink and jumped in front of Oro. She turned back into her humanoid form and pointed her gun at him.

"Aw crud…" groaned Oro. He would be killed, returned to his spawn point and have to finish up the work which is already messed by Team Bright.

SNIPE!

From nowhere, a long bullet of ink hit Mary causing her to fall, dissolved into ink and her ghost returned to her spawn point.

"What the-" said Angelo before he and Angel were shot in the blink of an eye.

The next thing they knew was re-spawning in their spawn point.

"What was that?" said Mary.

Angelo noticed the mysterious player on top of the center tower.

"Behold," he said pointing.

That player on the tower was a 14-year old dark-skinned male Inkling with his hair tied up as a ponytail with turquoise tips (in a black hair band), but the long front hair bangs combed to the right and has turquoise eyes. He's wearing a Skull Bandanna over his mouth, a Black Zip Hoodie (a black recolor version of the Green Zip Hoodie), black leather finger less gloves, long pants, and Toni Kensa Black Hi-Tops along with wielding an E-Liter 4K Scope – the most potent charger of all the chargers.

The sniper was using his charger to shoot ink at Gem. Despite the heaviness of her Ballpoint Splatting, Gem was able to avoid his shots.

"Who's that?" asked Mary.

"That's Cadet Classy," said Angelo. "One of the most expert snipers thee would ever know. That gent is X enseamed!"

"Wait. Do you mean X RANK?! The highest of all the ranks!"

"Aye. That gent never misses and only the fastest can dodge his snipes. We called that gent the 'SKULL SNIPER'."

Mary gulped. "This is impossible. We couldn't battle that guy! Oro must have chosen an expert player."

Angel laughed. "X-Rank? Pfft. That won't stop me!"

"Really?" said Mary. "Do you even know what rank we are in?!"

F.Y.I, Mary is C Rank, and Angel is B+ Rank.

"His rank is higher than ours! We would lose!"

"Oh, don't worry," said Angel with a cocky smile. "I know his weakness."

Gem continued to dodge the sniper's shots. Darn, they were so hard.

And if that was not bad enough, Team Trend had quickly been refreshed and continued inking the map.

Suddenly, a flying ball of gold ink hit Cadet's shoes though not taking much harm.

"Hey!" yelled Mary. "All eyes on me, bully!"

That word got into Cadet's mind. He felt a bit upset.

"Listen, girl," he said, his voice in an Australian accent. "I mean no offence to your team. I'm just doing my …"

But at this, Angel super jumped to the centre tower; right in front of Cadet.

"ARGGGHH!" screamed Cadet as he fell off.

He landed on the ground with a thud. Angel laughed as she landed in front of him.

"Doing your what?" mocked Angel. "Your ARSE?"

She pointed her blaster at Cadet.

"What a coward," she snickered.

But just before she pressed the trigger, something hit her from behind. As a result, she was splatted, and her ghost was flying back to her spawn point.
She growled and cursed as she re-spawned.

Cadet looked up and saw that Mauve saved him from being splatted.

"You're welcome," said Mauve with a smile.

It was almost the end of the match.

"Time to use our special!" said Oro, his hair sparking. He looked at Mauve. "You know what to do."

Mauve nodded. He went on top of a tower and spotted Team Bright heading to the center. He jumped up over them and did his special; the Splashdown.

"Holy-" screamed Angelo.

He was cut off when Mauve dived and punched the ground unleashing a massive wave of mint green ink, splatting them.

Oro used his special Tenta Missiles, firing large missiles at where there's gold ink or the parts that weren't painted yet. Then Hunter used his Baller to run towards their enemies' territory and brushed the ground.

Finally, the whistle blew.

"The time's up!" said the announcer. "Let's see the results."

A large monitor showed a bird's eye view of the whole map. It calculated how much ink covered the map by the teams' color.

"And the winner is…Team Trend!"

The score bar revealed that Team Trend painted the map by 73% with Team Bright only able to paint 27%.

Oro and Hunter shared a high five. So far, so good. For now…

AN: And there is Chapter 1! I'm happy of how this came up.

Just to let you know, Oro and Angelo are inspired from characters of the Splatoon Manga.

Oro is based from Gloves (manga). They both are cool and like to be fresh. However, Oro isn't that naive and doesn't tell people to stay cool.

Angelo is based from both Rider (manga) and Emperor (Manga). However, he isn't hot-headed nor arrogant. He acts more of a royal king or the true God of the world. He even speaks in a Shakespeare language.

That's all for today. In the next chapter, we will see who will be Agent 4 so put down your thoughts! Also, I will unveil the book cover for this story.
