Hello everyone! TiggyFireTiger here to bring you a new fanfiction! This time, I'm doing a alternative timeline where agent 8, Octavia, betrays the squidbeak splatoon! It is now up to pearl to save the inkling race! Can she do it? Well, this is how it all began...
"Why should I help you?" Octavia snarled. "You've done nothing nice for me! Let commander tartar destroy this world and start anew! You guys used me just because I've lost my memories! What have you ever done for me?! Nothing! And yet, you expect me to fight for you just because you want me to?! Uh. No! I don't think so!" Octavia turned and walked away from the human statue. Pearl watched in horror as the human's jaw opened and a huge canon came out of it. Agent 8 betrayed us! I can't believe it! "No... what do we do now, pearl...?" Marina asked desperately, shaking pearl out of her thoughts. There must be some way to fight that thing off by ourselves! "Tell me what to do and I'll do it!" Pearl said. "But... you need to fire a killer wai-" marina started to say but pearl cut her off. "I'll do it by myself! Let me do it!" Pearl narrowed her eyes determinedly. "Ok. I trust you pearl. You heard what I told agent 8. Hurry and take her place. We only have one shot at this." Marina said. Pearl nodded and super-jumped away to do the mission.
It only seemed like a second to pearl since she started this mission but she was finally done, turfing on the human statue. She super-jumped back to her own helicopter and started to get her special weapon ready to fire but before she got finished setting up her special, tartar fired his weapon. Pearl barely had time to fire her own weapon but when she did, it wasn't as strong as it should be. As her weapon was overpowered, pearl's wail of war changed into a scream of terror as she was consumed by tartar's ink and her world had turned dark.
"Pearl... wake up... wake up!" Pearl heard as she struggled to open her eyes again. When she did, she saw a blue-haired inkling looking back at her, trying to nudge her awake. "Ugh... what happened...?" Pearl asked as she struggled to stand up. "Shhhh... stand down brave warrior... you've been killed but it's not your time to join your ancestors yet... This is not your time yet. You have not fulfilled your destiny yet." The inkling said, pushing pearl back down. "Hey... it's you! You're Oliver, right? Agent... what number were you again...? Whoa, wait, you said that I got killed. But if you're here, then are you...?" Pearl asked. Oliver nodded sadly and held pearl's hand. "Yes... I am dead. My body was dissolved when the ink hit...but... your body was sparred. You must save the inklings!" Oliver exclaimed. Pearl's eyes widened as Oliver's words registered in her mind. "But, how?! I'm just a little squid! What can a little squid do against commander tartar?! I couldn't beat him last time..." pearl asked, lowering her head sadly. Oliver frowned and smacked pearl on the cheek. "What kind of talk is that?! That's loser's talk. I thought you were more determined than this!" Oliver shouted at pearl. "You must save the inkling race. Of course, you can't do it alone but I think you will see that you will meet friends on your journey. Friends that will help you rescue the inklings. You all must band together and fight tartar. and you, pearl, must be the leader." Oliver said. Pearl suddenly froze and looked into Oliver's eyes. "Me? Leader of a ragtag group of inklings?!" Pearl exclaimed, barely believing her ears. "Not just inklings. Octolings too. You must bind them together to form a... band if you will." Oliver said. "Where-how will I be able to find other inklings or octolings when everyone's dead?" "You'll know where to look. But you'll have to look in unlikely places. You'll question their loyalty based on where they'll come from. But the most important thing you must remember is that you can't judge a person based on their past. They can't change their past but they can change their future, if you'll let them. You must be a wise leader, pearl." Oliver said. Pearl was silent for a long time then she nodded. "Alright. So I must find a lot of inklings and octolings that I don't know or trust and transform them into a band. Alright. How will I do that when I'm dead?" Pearl asked. "I shall give you a gift." Oliver said, placing a hand on top of pearl's head. "I hearby give you another life, another chance to right the wrongs done to your kind by tartar. May you use this life to use your determination to save inklingkind." Oliver said as pearl felt a jolt of pain come from Oliver's hand, shaking down her body from her tentacles to her feet. She suddenly felt determination fill her soul, the utter determination to save inklingkind from going extinct. Oliver kept his hand on pearl's head even after the pain had ended. "I shall give you another gift. I shall give you the gift of seeing through another's eyes. Use this well, pearl." Oliver said as pearl felt her spirit slip away from heaven and into life again.
