My Fourth Fanfic which has been remade with some added bits, Splatoon.
Chapter 1: Preparation.
12.000 Years Ago. (Year 3146)
Location: Tokyo
My name is Shinjiro Yamada. A 22 Year Old male who was frozen in order to survive a world disaster...However...
I never expected to awaken in a world that is visually same as mine...but the inhabitants...Vastly different.
If it wasn't for a gift that I brought with from the past, I wouldn't of understand the new inhabitants, protect them, and fight their battles.
Of course...I'm just blabbing, aren't I?
Well...Let's go back in time, to where I learned of the disaster and was prepared for it.
POV: Third Person
Shinjiro woke up lightly. "Urrrg..." He groaned as he got up and got changed in his usual wear. A white shirt, black hoodie and blue jeans.
His blonde hair was messy, so after fixing it, he walked down the hallway of the big mansion that his father, Professor Yasutora Yamada owned. He'd walk past a few people, his adopted brothers and sisters, whom Yasutora took from the streets to protect them from the city.
Entering the dining room, which was average in size and functionality. Aria, the first girl in the house when he was found, was making her and his breakfast, however her expression was saddened, "Hey there, Aria. Where's Dad?"
Aria turned around, "Oh, He's in the living room...But...There is some bad news..." She said sadly. Shinjiro looked through the doorway.
"Yes...Yes I understand..." The News reporter, who would look back to the camera, his expression was clearly fearful and worried.
"Uhh...This just in. The North Pole has officially melted and the Sea Level has risen variously all around the world...and some countries have gone silent...The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada...All have been swallowed the tides
Shinjiro frowned, "What...?" He'd look to his father, "Dad...?"
The Professor frowned... "It is as I feared..." He said, whispering to himself.
He then looked to Shinjiro. "Shinji. Come with me, quickly." He said suddenly.
-A few minutes later-
"You sure this will work?" Shinjiro asked, his body equipped in a silver plated armoured suit.
Yasutora nodded, replied, "that suit will protect you from the water pressure, should there be any water as well as any threat. I am sending you and your brothers and sisters to the future so that Humanity can recover from the great flood."
The armoured sentinel looked at his feline companion, Judd, who followed them into the lab, which was in the hallway, in front of Shinjiro's room. "I guess you're coming with us too, huh?"
"Meow." Judd replied. The young man chuckled.
"You will be sent to a temple, it will be sealed so water can't get in." Yasutora explained.
"Why do I need to go the future?" Shinjiro repelled as Yasutora fixed his glasses. "Well...I had seen a vision of Sea life has replaced humans, but the Humanoid Squids known as Inklings, and Humanoid Octopi known as Octolings and their lesser counterparts known as Octarians are having intense conflicts. There was a Fourth World War known as a Great Turf War, which devastated the world."
Shinjiro sighed, "Are you sure? I mean...It's impossible. Is that medication having an after effect on you, Dad?"
"What? Oh, don't be daft, Shinjiro, it was a vision." He cleared his throat, "I will tell you more at the temple. Are you ready to go?" Shinjiro nodded, "Yes." Yasutora smiled, "Splendid! Let's be on our way."
Location: ?
POV: Shinjiro.
We approached a large room in a small temple like building.
"So what happens when I'm in the future?" Shinjiro asked, Yasutora pointed towards a Cyro pod. Something used to preserve the body in sleep.
"The Two species may go for Round 2, A Second Great Turf War, should it happen, it will be as twice as cataclysmic as before and will bring our home to it's knees again. Do what you can to stop it. Even if it means wiping out both Inklings and Octolings."
I was handed a wrapped case. "What's this?" "It's a weapon, I made it myself after I seen my vision, use it at your own risk..." I stepped inside, the pod closed.
"SCANNING DNA."
"DNA MATCH = YAMADA"
"BEGINNING CRYOGENEIC SEQUENCE."
I suddenly felt cold. My body began to freeze up. I seethed as the freezing water reaches my chin, causing me to blackout to due extreme condition.
Now (Year 13.146)
Location: ?
POV: Third Person
Two figures approached the temple, the water levels has dropped slightly after the decades.
"Judd said an old friend was here..." A female voice said, "wasn't this old friend in a Cyro Pod like Judd?"
Another replied, It was a boy "I guess so...Isn't it from a primitive species, though?"
"We'll find out.." She replied as they approached the Cyro Pod, as they did, the light from the pod shined on them, lighting up the room around them. the female had pink hair and blue eyes.
Her 'hair' was tentacles that were worn down like pigtails that went to her knees.
The male had green hair and had yellow eyes, his tentacles were tied in a bun, they both wore a black hoodie and black shorts as well as dark grey shoes.
The twins looked at each other. The female clicked a random button, and the Cyro Pod hissed before opening.
The figure inside walked out rather sluggishly as the pod released heat to thaw and warm the being.
It looked around before noticing the squid kids in front of him, "twha eth? Twha rae yuo?" The knight asked, It's voice that of an average-aged male, however, they didn't understand him.
"Ummm..?" They looked to each other. "uh?" The Knight replied.
The female tilted her head, "You look weird. Do you have a face? How can you see or eat?"
POV: Shinjiro
I...Uh...What?! What are they saying?!
"I said, What Are you?" The female, (I'd assume it's a girl,) hid behind the male due to my slightly raised voice, (again, I'd assume.)
"Ey! Cmal Wond, yddub! He replied in a bubbly-like voice, their speech resembled Japanese mixed with gibberish.
If Verbal won't work, maybe sign language? After all, Sign Language breaks all barriers, right?
I raised one hand, and waved. The two wave back slowly, confused.
Ok, we're getting somewhere.. I point to them, then make my hand do a talking gesture, then shook my head.
"Oh..", The two clicked. I think they got it now since they nodded.
Something hit me. Holding up one finger in a "hold it" gesture, I raised my other hand.
I cycled through the various languages that Dad installed on the suit's Translation Device.
He said he also put in the properly translated the language of the 'Inklings' named Squidanese and installed it...Kudos to him, actually, how did he do it? And when? I eventually found it.
"Hello?" The two jolted as my response. "Hey, can you understand us now?" The girl responded, "yeah" I replied.
"Sorry, about that." The boy smirked, "what was that mouthful of gibberish?" He asked, "That, my friend, is English. The language of Humans."
The two stood there. They looked to each other, then back at me...then back to each other...and then back to me.
"Umm...Humans? What is that, what even is that?" The girl asked.
"Take a look at yourselves.." I said and they did. "What about us?" "You LOOK human." Again they clicked, "Oh, right. We call them Primitives or...simply anything." The boy replied, "interesting. So...do you know where I am?"
The girl replied, "You're near Inkopolis."
Inko...what? Where...I don't even..."What?" I replied.
"Inkopolis. A home for Inklings and other sea life." I nodded,
"So I'm underwater?" The boy raised his hand, shaking it slightly, "kinda, 50/50." I nodded again, "is there Air?" They nodded, "but we don't know if Primitives can breath it...You could try, I guess"
Ok...I would of nodded, but my neck began to hurt from the amount of nodding.
"So...do I have a place to stay? It'd be embarrassing for a...Primitive twice your size staying with you."
The girl smiled, "Judd told us you'd be coming, so we made a small house about Sheldon's shop."
Sheldon? Who's he? "Oh, Judd's here? Oh yeah, Cyro Sleep..." The two noticed the wrapped up weapon in my hand...after a long time despite being in the open...Heck, I almost forgotten about it.
"What's that?" The girl asked, "this?" I replied.
"I don't know." Suddenly, the two were on the floor, face first as soon as I gave my answer. If this was an Anime, they would of had sweat drops to go with their reaction.
Location: Inkopolis
POV: Third Person.
Shinjiro sighed, he was in the hut the two squid kids talked about.
The hut reminded him of his room, a bed, a desk and chair, a small refrigerator, a bathroom and a walk-in closet...which currently housed his armour and a few clothes that Yasutora left for him.
Surprisingly, they were there after 10.000 years.
He stared at the wrapped weapon. He sighed, deciding to see what it was. He unwrapped it and it was a big dark grey case. Shinji opened it, pulling out a silver bladed sword. "Wow." He said, looking at the weapon's shine, which was unusually shiny for a weapon made from metal, or so he thought when he took a practice swing.
Silver paint splattered across his wall and he found out quickly that was the weapon's 'shine', "W-what the?!" He yelled. He inspected it. "Is it paint?" He asked himself as he put a finger on the paint, and placed it to his lips.
He cringed at the taste. "Ugh..! Ink...it's ink.." why was his sword emitting Silver Ink waves? "what was in Dad's medicine?"
Regardless. Looking outside, the sun was setting, suddenly Inkopolis lit up with neon lights and pop music was heard, even through his window.
He felt like he was home in Tokyo. Shinji felt tired and so, laid on his bed, it felt comfy, so comfortable that he was out in a matter of seconds. He decided to clean up that ink when he woke up.
Well, I thought about remaking this again. Fixing spelling mistakes, adding and removing some bits which were too dark. Sure, It could be dark with Human Involvement, but after reading this myself, It is indeed darker at later chapters, SO REVAMP IT IS!
Fun facts:
1:
I was actually planning on making the Inklings call the humans 'The Ancients' But since someone already named the humans that on their fanfic, had to change the name to Primitives for originality.
2:
The garbled language was also going to be backward, but that too was another's Idea. So jumbled words! :D
