An Adventure of a Lifetime

by ZygardeFusion

After another turf war, your everyday inkling, Antonio, finds a manhole. When he dives in, he uncovers the dark secrets of the past, his own story that was shrouded in the dark, and the ancient hatred of the Octarians. In a last-ditch effort to save the city that means the most to him, he and his friends set out to stop a massive crisis. (Rated K for now. Might go up.)

2. The Dark Side of The Moon

(Note: had to fix this chapter.)

A/N: Hey guys, it's your (hopefully) favorite rookie author, ZygardeFusion, back with another chapter! (Cue airhorn noise.) But before we get back to the story, just want to respond to some comments.

Guest: uhhhh…

Guest: Ok, I know this might be weird, but face it- this is my first fanfic. It'll probably have some things I need to work on.

Now that we got that out of the way, let's get rumbling!

Disclaimer: (forgot this) I don't own Splatoon or Nintendo. All I own is Antonio and his squad mates.

Chapter 2: The Dark Side of The Moon

As I jumped out of the sewer, I noticed a small cabin, and an inkling in a kimono seemed like she was waiting for somebody.

"Ah, I knew that you would come." The inkling spoke in a familiar tone. I feel like I've seen her before…

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, as well."

"Wait…" I paused in shock. "MARIE?!" I yelled.

"Well, you got me there. Ever since my cousin went missing, along with the Great Zapfish, I've been waiting for somebody to don the title of the next agent. Will you accept?"

At this point, I was shaking because of her offer. I knew that Inkopolis would crumble without power, yet, was I ready to fight to protect my city?

"Well?" The question was repeated.

"Hold up, I need to think." I replied.

I heard my father sighing in my head.

Before you were born, I saw your destiny. It changed from time to time, but I saw clearly up to this point.

So, I asked, this will change my life from now on?

I believe so, he replied. Everything changes here.

All I ask for is your guidance.

Don't worry, Antonio. I'll always be with you.

"Made up up your mind yet?" Marie's response took me out of my thoughts.

"I've made up my mind." I said before pausing. "I'll join you on your quest."

"Great!" She exclaimed. "Welcome to the New Squidbeak Splatoon! But before we begin, you should equip standard issue. About a minute later, I found myself in a neon combat suit.

"Not to be rude, but is there anything less flashy?" I asked.

"No, not really." Marie replied. "You should also pick a weapon to fight back the Octarians."

"The Octarians?" I asked, very confused.

"They're a race of Octopi-like creatures that were banished by us about a hundred years ago during the Great Turf War."

"Ooooooh." I responded. "Either way, I'll take the roller. It's gonna be an inky mess all over their place!"

"Wow, you really are confident. But can you back up that talk?" She inquired.

"Absolutely."

After being shown how to find a kettle, I dove in, and started my first steps on my quest.

A/N: Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddddd we did it folks! Another chapter down the hatch! As usual, I'm asking for some reviews so I can improve. I've got some friends who help me, but I'm always asking for help. Thanks for reading y'all, and see ya next time!
