( Okay, so me being dumb said multiple things and then changed it. Octavio didn't steal the Zapfish when Kurama was 12. It was 15. Also, Marina is older (and as a result, so is Pearl) however Callie and Marie's (along with Agent 3's age) will stay the same (aka Callie and Marie are 17, and Agent 3 is 14). Marina would've been 16 as in Splatoon 2 she was 18, however since Kurama is 15, I made Marina three years older- 18. Pearl was 21, however now she's 24 years old. Fun, I know. Also, I said Kurama couldn't be splatted and then turned that around. Therefore; Kurama can be splatted however due to the Kyuubi (Kurama) she takes more hits to splat than a normal inkling/octoling. This should be enough... Now for the show to start!)
[Ancient Scroll 1: Bijuu, also known as "Tailed Beasts" in the old language, are giant constructs of natural energy. Bijuu have the power to destroy the world, and are thus feared. However, the Bijuu have gone missing, and as a result most of their history has disappeared from the present. However, rumors of a "Nine Tailed Demon" that resembled a long dead race, the humans, has been spotted. Do not, under any condition, approach said human. The human seems to hold a grudge against inklings.]

Sky blue tentacles waved in the wind, pinkish-purple eyes with large round pupils studied their surrounding. The owner of such looks was Agent Three, the newest Agent in the Squidbeak Splatoon. She was brought under the wings of the old man, Capt'n Cuttlefish. Agent 3 really wasn't sure why she followed the strange old man down the gutters, but now she had a job. Save the Zapfish.
Of course, before she had left the 7th zone, the old man warned her that there was a "Demon" that resembled a human in the 8th level. He told her to be careful and to run if she sees the demon, as he had noticed she seemed to have a grudge against Inklings for whatever reason. He told her of his two agents, Agents 1 and 2, and how they first encountered the younger girl. He also chuckled when he told her how Agent 1 seemed to glow pink-purple at the sight of the demon- a obvious crush.
Agent 3 stared at the grate below her. Area 2, Number 8, Octoling Invasion. At least thats what the label told her on the side (Agent 3 was confused when she reads the names of some of these places. It's like a joke or something and she doesn't get it). Agent 3 let out a soft sigh, and turned to ink as she raced into the gutter, the gutter making a rattling sound behind her.
Agent 3 landed on the spawnpad with a light thump. She looked around curiously and was met with the sight of a modified Kelp Dome map. She sighed, 'Of course the Octolings would copy our maps... and whatever else.' she toke steps forward and was nearly splatted by- 'Is that a Octoling?' she thought to herself. She shot back with her own weapon, splatting the attacking Octoling. She toke notice of the eyewear over their faces and frowned.
It seemed like hours have passed since Agent 3 entered the level, and she couldn't get past the half-way point. She had already been splatted two times, and she was on her last life. Just as she heard a Octoshot being ready to be shot at her and end her last life, a red ink-bullet slammed into the Octoling and splatted them. Agent 3 toke the advantage, not even thinking of who would've saved her, to reach the Baby Zapfish, free it, and escape. The last glance she had of the map was of a figure wearing the Octoling gear, red hair, and seaweed coming from said hair.

I snorted as I patted my hands down my skin-tight shorts (Past-me hated anything close to the skin, still sorta do but I got used to it) from the dust and dirt I gained from jumping long distances through me kitsune form. Ah yes, my kitsune form. Probably should explain that, yes?
Usually Inklings and Octolings use their form- Squid in the Inklings case and Octopus in the Octolings case- however since I'm way different from the two, Kurama (my Bijuu, not me) had his DNA grant me a... squishy ink-kitsune form. It was adorable, really. It resembled the kitsune that Menma used in that... movie, was it? Except my 'fur' was a red-orange and my mask was black while the details on it were in white.
Looking at where I just shot a ally, I sighed. Not like I would get in trouble for it since the Octolings in general feared me as a monster and wouldn't bother reporting what I did to gramps. It's how I've never gotten into a trouble (unless it was Marina. Marina was never afraid.). You would've though that ever since I was 9 they would've gotten over the fact I wasn't exactly normal or like them, they wouldn't fear me as much, but nope.
I shuffled off to my home. I would have to pack and bring everything back to Zone 4, which was the final area that the new agent would go to. I would also have to wait for orders from gramps- weither to stay back or to fight the newbie as a replacement boss. With the way the newbie is going, I would probably have to be the replacement boss. I told the old man the Bosses were too easy, but did he listen? No!
I packed the little things I had- a poster of the Squid Sisters (I was a fan after all, even though the two were Inklings. Also because they looked like the two agents I met when I was 12- Agents 1 and 2) and some rations. As much as I hated the mushy square of nutrition, it was something I couldn't change because even if we tried growing food, Squidbeak Splatoon would ruin it.
Sometimes I wish that the Squidbeak Splatoon would stop causing trouble for us Octolings- well the Octolings since I am not a Octoling... at least I dont think so- and let us live in peace. I get there was a war 100 years or so ago, but that doesn't give you the right to ruin the lives of millions to keep us from being unable to rise up again! Besides, we're just a story to the Inklings nowadays. I would know- I've sneaked into Inkpolis before (mostly to steal food). Surprisingly, a larger-than-Inkling in a cape doesn't cause suspicion. Inklings are soft.
I shook my head, my dirty yet ruffled blood red hair getting out of my eyes. I took one last glance at my room before leaving, heading to the launch pad and setting forth to the last area the new Agent would have to go. Now- is she a Agent 3 or a Agent 4? Meh. I'll find out.
