(Hello everyone! Tepigblaze here! Here is chapter 1 of the Legend Of Oliver! I would like to thank the reviewer who reviewed this! By the way, Reviewer Who Shall Not Be Named, the prologue was supposed to be unoriginal since this story takes place after the events of the game. thank you very much. I sure hoped that you read through the end... The end was original and you can be sure to see more of that Octoling! She's not finished with the inklings yet! She's one of my favorite characters! Well, without any further ado, let's jump into the first chapter!)
Chapter 1
A young boy inkling stood at the beginning of the path to inkopolis, he clutched his beginner's splattershot in his hands. He had blue tentacles, which bobbed up and down as he walked. On top of his head, he had pilot goggles that he slid onto his eyes whenever he played in turf wars. He had warm brown orbs for eyes that twinkled as he was faced with this challenge. He loved challenges and this was up his alley. He also had a blue sweatshirt on that he loved to wear as he got cold easily. On his legs, he had on his usual black shorts with a blue line going down them. On his feet, he wore black and orange shoes that he could do up easily. He was very excited to be going to inkopolis for his 14th birthday. He had been begging his parents if he could go since forever and now he was allowed to go. As he turfed the ground with ink, he laughed as he popped balloons.
However, something wasn't quite right with this weapon…. he couldn't quite put his finger on it…. as he ran around shooting ink everywhere, he suddenly skidded into the ground. He had slipped on his own ink! He chuckled and picked himself up. He then kept on going towards inkopolis, shooting the ground as he went. Soon, he had reached the launch pad that would lead him to inkopolis. He transformed into a squid, which he had done several times over the last year to prove to his parents that he was ready to ink turf. He then super-jumped into the air towards inkopolis.
When he reached inkopolis, he saw many inklings who waved at him warmly and welcomed him to inkopolis. As he looked around, he noticed that all of the inklings were looking up at a huge screen above a studio. Why….. It was the squid sisters doing their inkopolis news time! Oliver sat down on a bench and watched. "We've been doing this for how long, Marie?!" Callie was yelling at Marie, surprised. "Quite a while! Like over 10 years now! I remember when we first started being the squid sisters!" Marie said. Callie smiled at this statement. "Yeah! I remember it like it was yesterday! Do you remember the Splatfests that we used to do, Marie?" Callie asked. "Yeah! Team Marie definitely beat team Callie!" Marie snickered.
"Well, at least I won more Splatfests!" Callie countered, still trying to give her cousin a horrible burn. "yeah…. You know what we should do for our tenth anniversary?" Marie asked, ignoring Callie's remark. "what should we do?" Callie asked. "we should bring Splatfests back." Marie said, smiling as if she knew something. "well, what if I told you that we are! That's right, inklings of inkopolis! Splatfests are back and the next one is in one week! Marie, would you please do the honors and announce the theme?" Callie asked, smiling as she heard the cheers of all of the inklings around inkopolis. "of course, Callie!" Marie said. "…. And the theme is…" Callie said, gesturing for Marie to go on. "hold on! Hold on! I'm getting the theme right now!" Marie said, to the inklings' dismay.
The squid sisters were known to take their sweet time when it came to announcing stuff like this. "c'mon! c'mon! what is it?!" Callie asked again in a few seconds, voicing every inklings' excitement. "….. and the Splatfest theme is here! I'll announce it in a sec!" Marie yelled. "c'mon Marie…. we wanna know!" Callie complained, why was Marie taking so long to announce the theme?! "and the theme is…. FOX VS. HOUND!" Marie yelled. "Yay! So…. I'm guessing that you're team hound, right?" Callie asked. "yep! There's nothing better than being a hound! I mean, you get to have a free massage and you can rest whenever you want!" Marie smiled. "well, being a fox means that you can trick inklings easily! And you're quick and agile!" Callie yelled, smiling at Marie. Marie chuckled at Callie. "man, this feels so good to get back and announce Splatfests!" Marie said. "I know! I've missed it! so, inklings, let's all do our best in this first Splatfest!" Callie announced, as cheers went up around inkopolis. "definitely!" Marie cheered.
"now, let's get back to announcing the stages. The stages for today are… Bluefin Depot and Mahi Mahi Resort. The ranked battle stages are moray towers and urchin underpass. And they're playing tower control!" Callie announced. "good luck inklings!" Marie smiled. As the squid sisters finished their news show, Oliver smiled. He had heard about this thing called Splatfest but he had never participated in one. It felt so good to know that he was gonna be part of one! He thought this as he ran towards inkopolis tower, ready to ink some turf.
