Chapter 12: Betrayal
Later, Fushia returned to the palace she, Octavious, Moira, and Octavio lived in in Octo Valley, as she and her siblings only went to Willyum and Waltzer's base if they were needed. Fushia just laid down on her bed in her room and stared up at the ceiling.
"Nice outfit." a voice said.
Fushia looked up at the door to see Octavious glaring at her.
"We're going to have a little chat." Octavious said. He took out his Jet Squelcher and said "A long chat.".
Octavious proceeded to tell her about what had happened during his battle against Rancis, and how he had to flee. He kept his eyes closed and head bowed.
"I bailed out last second for help... and you weren't there." Octavious said. He glared up at Fushia and asked "What were you doing the entire time? Hmm?".
Fushia just looked away, not replying. Octavious looked down at his Jet Squelcher.
"It doesn't matter." Octavious said.
Fushia started typing on her phone, but Octavious aimed his weapon at her, causing her to stop and look up at him.
"I know you were with those children and the squids. You can't be trusted anymore!" Octavious sneered.
Fushia briefly glanced down at her phone, before throwing it at her brother. Octavious was hit in the eye, and he yelled in pain before shooting the Jet Squelcher at her. However, Fushia grabbed her Octoshot, transformed into her octopus form, and swam out of the room.
"Oh no, you don't!" Octavious shouted.
He transformed into his octopus form and swam after her.
"Leave me alone, please!" Fushia pleaded.
Moira was walking through a hallway of the palace when she heard her younger sister. She stopped walking and turned her head.
"Fushia?" Moira asked.
She peered out the end of the hallway to see Fushia swimming by. She grabbed her and pulled her in, and they watched as Octavious sped by. Moira let her go, and Fushia transformed back into her humanoid form.
"Where have you been? And what does he want with you?" Moira asked.
"I can't explain everything. But listen. If you see a girl in pink, don't hurt her." Fushia replied. She then looked away and said "I made a huge mistake. I can't stay here anymore.".
She ran off. Moira held out a hand.
"Wait!" Moira shouted.
However, Fushia was already too far away.
"A girl in pink?" Moira asked in confusion.
