Okay, remember how I said that there will be 8 chapters to this? Well... I changed my mind :/. I'm planning on putting a REAL ending and an alternate ending to this story just like Deltarune did.
I will also put another ending to Deltarune involving some Splatoon stuff XD. Welp, with that news alert out of the way, let's get right into this next chapter! Enjoy! :D
"*MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH* D**m, it tastes SO good!" Susie exclaimed as she was munching down a Galactic Seanwich. It tasted even more good for her since all she really had as of today was a stick of chalk.
"Heh heh... I'm glad you are enjoying it, Susie." Redd said. The reason this food was here for the three of them? Redd guided them to the Crust Bucket, where Crusty Sean makes fried food and different kinds of drinks for fellow Inklings and Octolings. Redd has a certain amount of coins to help pay. Usually, Sean takes tickets, but he made an exception for this time.
"I'm enjoying it as well! It actually tastes pretty good." Ralsei complimented as he gulped down another bite of a Deep-fried Shwaffle. He took his attention to Kris, who was taking a sip of a Special-Charge Shake.
"Do you like it, Kris?" Ralsei asked. Kris gave a nod and a thumbs up.
"I'm glad they're helping us out for this, Susie! They're really a nice bunch!" Ralsei said with a cute smile.
"Whatever." Susie replied as she looks away a tiny bit.
"I actually never tried eating the food a lot here. I already did a couple hours ago." Caleb said. Kris nodded, telling Caleb that it's all fine in the end.
"So... um... how did you all get here?" Aaliyah asked quietly.
"If you don't speak up... then I will force you to." Susie threatened.
"Geez. She was just asking how you guys were here." Redd said with a small sigh.
"Well... we were about to play a game with someone, but then... everything started spinning, and we got teleported here." Ralsei explained.
"A game? What kind of game?" Mia asked.
"All we know is that it's a number game. I'm not gonna give any more specific details though." Susie replied.
"Understandable." Redd said. Kris nodded.
"You know... I like to think back then on my past. I had happy memories back then with my big sister." Aaliyah said with a small smile.
"Oh? What kind of memories?" Ralsei asked.
"You know... I actually have a couple saved on my phone." Aaliyah replied.
"Ooh, I want to see!" Caleb insisted.
"I think I do too." Mia added. Kris pointed to himself, then to Susie and Ralsei, asking Aaliyah if he, along with his friends (mostly Ralsei because Susie isn't too fond with Kris yet), want to see a memory Aaliyah has.
"Why, of course you can! Just let me find one first." Aaliyah said. She scrolled through her phone a bit. After some time, she pulled up a video.
"This was when I was 4 years old, when it was my mom's birthday. Jenny and I were singing the happy birthday song." Aaliyah said with a smile, showing all her teeth.
"Who is Jenny?" Ralsei asked.
"My sister." Aaliyah replied. And then she plays the video.
One happy birthday song later...
The video still has a couple more seconds to it.
"Happy birthday, mommy! Bleh!" A young Aaliyah said, sticking her tongue out a bit and making a weird noise. Her parents and the young Jenny laughed with her, and soon, the young Aaliyah giggled back. Mia and Caleb let out an "Aww!", and Redd just smiled. Kris and Ralsei had a huge smile on their face. But Susie had a blunt look.
"Aww, that is so cute! You looked so adorable when you were a little girl!" Ralsei complimented.
"It kinda sounded like you were throwing up at that last part." Susie said with a smirk. Aaliyah frowned since she didn't really know how to answer that.
"I... don't understand how." She said quietly.
"You DARE play a dumb memory like that?!" A woman's voice screamed. Everyone got surprised by it. Susie, Kris and Ralsei got surprised by who they saw. It was a girl similar to these "Octoling" creatures. She had large and poofy hair. It was colored black, and there was usual suction cups. Two pieces of kelp were on both sides of her hair, and there was a red line in the middle.
The clothing she wore was a black crop top with metal on it, and some black shorts. She had black boots and also a belt. She didn't have anything too threatening in the palms of her hand.
"B...Big sis?" Aaliyah asked. Ralsei, Susie and Kris were surprised.
"By the way... does your group have a name? For all three of you?" Redd intervened.
"The Fun Gang." Ralsei whispered.
"I heard you playing that memory. You stupid traitor. You just can't let go of the past, CAN YOU?" The girl exclaimed. Kris tilted his head slightly. He didn't understand! In the video Aaliyah showed them, the girl known as Jenny was very nice. But in the present, this girl is calling her sister a traitor? Seriously?!
"I-I saved it for... memories." Aaliyah said quietly as she got a bit closer.
"Why though? The past is nothing but a meaningless thing everyone should forget about." Her sister responded.
"Jenny, please... why can't you come back to the good side?" Aaliyah asked.
"Because I won't. I'm helping every Octoling in the world. Why can't you just side with me?!" Jenny yelled.
"Because this is all wrong. You can't just go around and-" Aaliyah started, but then...
SMACK!
Jenny punched Aaliyah roughly across the face.
"Shut up, you pathetic little b***h! No one cares about you or your life!" Jenny screamed.
"O-Ow... w-why... why would you do this to me..." Aaliyah mumbled. Redd, Mia and Caleb got into a protecting stance. Jenny got closer and pushed them out of the way. The Fun Gang didn't know how to react to this. Especially Susie since she doesn't give a crap.
"Aaliyah... if you are going to act like a baby... I'll treat you like one." Jenny exclaimed.
"N-No..." Aaliyah pleaded. But she got a slap across her face by the demon that is her older sister. Aaliyah started crying since the pain really hurts.
"Aww, does the baby want her bottle? Or her diaper changed? Hee hee hee." Jenny giggled.
"Okay, enough." Susie said. Jenny took her attention to the Fun Gang, surprised they were there.
"Who the hell are you, and why did you come here?" Susie asked her one of here eyes glows and showed an evil smile. She took out her axe as an immediate reaction. Kris put his hands on his sword, as a self defense tactic just in case any immediate danger will come. Jenny wasn't scared one bit.
"Call me Jenny. If you haven't noticed... I'm just a threatening bad guy." Jenny greeted.
"Why did you hurt your little sister? Look, she's badly injured! And she cares about you!" Ralsei exclaimed, showing some sad eyebrows as of concern for the hurt girl that was being helped up by Redd and Mia.
"Why? You dare ask WHY?!" Jenny screamed, "She is a traitor! She doesn't deserve the love she is getting today! All she is is scum, and she always will be!"
Kris just looked at Jenny while shaking his head.
"But you know... I do love to see her suffer," Jenny said with an evil smile, "If she doesn't join me, she won't get anywhere in life. I can just wish for her to come with me someday and be with Octavio, so then we can-"
"Shut up." Susie interrupted. Jenny was taken aback by that.
"What did you just say?" She asked.
"Did you not hear me? Don't play dumb." Susie exclaimed. This made Jenny get more furious.
"Come on, punk. Say it again. I dare you. I double dare you!" Jenny threatened. Susie swung her axe at Jenny, leaving a huge cut near her waist.
"YOU SON OF A-" Jenny exclaimed. She was threatened to take out her sword, but then she stopped. She thought for a bit before super jumping away.
"Yeah, you better run away! Don't bother coming back!" Susie screamed at Jenny.
"Okay, Susie... you've had your fun." Ralsei said, a bit worried. Susie calmed down and put her axe away. Ralsei looked at Aaliyah. The innocent Octoling was covering her nose and mouth with her hands. Ralsei got surprised when he saw a red line leaking out, making a way to escape.
"What happened?" He asked.
"My nose... it's bleeding..." Aaliyah stammered.
"Don't worry, Aaliyah. We'll take you to a doctor." Mia insisted.
"Just hold still." Ralsei said. Then he put his hand in the air as green magic began flowing out. Then he puts the green magic right next to Aaliyah. She removed her hands from her mouth and nose, and she realized...
Her nose was no longer bleeding.
"H-How did you...?" She asked.
"I have healing prayers. One thing I am good at doing." Ralsei replied.
"T-Thank... y-you..." Aaliyah said quietly.
"No problem!" Ralsei responded while smiling.
"*sniff* Still though... I know she's evil, but... she's still my older sister, and I love her..." Aaliyah cried. Tears were threatening to fall.
"We'll get her back someday if it's possible. I promise." Caleb cooed.
"Ugh... enough drama. I don't want to see this girl cry over some 'big sister'." Susie groaned.
"B-But... I-I miss her." Aaliyah sniffled.
"I know you do." Mia said softly.
"Now, I know there's two different species of your kind, but... what's the difference between an Inkling and an Octoling?" Ralsei asked.
"Just pay close attention to our eyes, teeth, ears and hair. That shows hints." Redd replied with a smirk. Kris gave a thumbs up, telling them thanks for the hint. Suddenly, vibrating can be heard. Everyone's attention came to Redd and Mia. They each picked up a walkie-talkie.
"Yes sir?" Redd asked as he put his walkie talkie to his ear, and Mia did the same thing. Indistinct talking can be heard.
"They're coming near Inkopolis now?!" Mia exclaimed. More talking.
"Don't worry. We will be on our way." The twins said in unison. They put the devices back on their belts.
"Welp, we gotta go. We have a special job we need to do." Redd explained.
"Caleb, you need to come as well." Mia added.
"Okay, I will." Caleb replied.
"Is it Jenny again...?" Aaliyah asked innocently.
"No matter what, Aaliyah... I bet your sister still loves you deep inside." Caleb said softly. Aaliyah gave a small smile back.
"AAAAAAGH! ENOUGH WITH THE DRAMA!" Susie screamed.
"S-Susie! Please give them a chance!" Ralsei whispered. Susie just groaned again.
"Well, we'll see you later. We'll be back... depending on how busy it will be." Redd said, and then he waves goodbye and Mia did the same. Then they turned into a squid, and they jumped high into the air, like what the Gang saw what Jenny did.
"Do you think we should be aware? There might be more people that might come to attack." Ralsei insisted. Kris nodded.
"I'm already prepared just in case. But honestly... I'm still learning this 'ACTing' you guys do. Don't do anything too stupid." Susie demanded.
"Okay then! Come on, Kris and Susie! Let's be on the lookout, shall we?" Ralsei said. Kris pumped his fist in excitement. Susie just shrugged and followed along. They walked over to the alleyway they were at before. Caleb went home to do his own thing. Before everyone could leave...
"S-Susie?" Aaliyah said as she lightly tugged on the dino's shoulder.
"What do you want, chum?" Susie turned back and asked that question to the innocent Octoling.
"I-If you had someone y-you loved and they l-left you one day... w-wouldn't you be s-sad?" Aaliyah asked.
"I don't need any friends." Susie replied.
"I... I understand," Aaliyah said with a sigh, "Um, anyway... I'm gonna, uh... just go home. If you need me... which you might not... I'll be at a room in New Albacore Hotel."
"Sure, whatever." Susie said with a shrug, and then she walked back with the others, who are waiting for her.
*scene skip: Cephalon HQ Laboratory*
"I found the traitor, General Octavio," Jenny said, "We should go after her. There are some new people who might be willing to protect her, but I'm sure we might-"
"Stay back, Jenny. I'm gonna try and deal with this intruder." Octavio interrupted. Jenny crossed her arms and huffed. Octavio opened a nearby door, and soon he was trapped by diamonds.
"It's the most un-disagreeablyifying moment you have ever encountered in your life, life!" Jevil cackled as he nears Octavio.
"You slimy little jester! Let me out of here!" Octavio snarled with struggling from the diamonds. Jenny just watched since she didn't want to interfere.
"Please. It's just a simple sense of chaos, chaos." Jevil said with a smirk. He erased the diamonds and faced both Octavio and Jenny.
"Let's go and play the numbers game!" Jevil laughed. Jenny giggled and took out her sword.
"As you wish." She replied.
