Okay, everyone! I have returned yet again! Today, I unleash another chapter for this big Splatoon story! But this is gonna be a small chapter that takes place around the same time as the first chapter.
Anyways, I also want to point out that I've competed in my first local Smash Ultimate tournament yesterday. Of course, I did lose early on. But I still had a lot of fun, and it's just gonna encourage me to get better. :D
Once I do get some certain equipment, I'm going to start streaming on Twitch. As you may know, streaming is basically gonna be my future career, along with competing in Smash Ultimate eSports tournaments. So I am going to home my gaming skills in a lot than I ever had in my life. :p
So now, here is the mini chapter. Enjoy! ;)
*scene: Cephalon HQ (during the same time as Tom's moments...)
A group of six regular Octoling soldiers were fighting each other. Currently, they were going through a strict training routine. They all shouted as they attacked from the weapons they held in the palm of their hands.
On the sidelines of the big room, Jenny was there. She is the coach for this group, but only temporarily. She was watching them all with amusement, but also enjoyed the pain that was being viewed.
"Let's go, soldiers! Move it! Go!" Jenny demanded. The group kept on training as hard as they can. Because of how strict that Jenny could be, they don't wanna upset her.
But that's to say that for every Octoling in the army. They all know about Jenny, even if they never physically knew her. But one thing that made Jenny "infamous" is the fact she loves murder, and has a consistent record of victims she slaughtered.
But some were also confused on why Jenny could be a coach. What is something bad happened...?
But this is the whole HQ. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Five minutes pass by, and then Jenny blows a whistle, which made all the Octolings stop what they're doing. Jenny threw the whistle to the side, and she glares at the group.
"Positions at once!" She commanded. The whole group stood in a military pose. Jenny walked in front of them, looking at them while squinting her eyebrows. Everyone seemed a little nervous. But they showed the best hostile looks possible.
"Alright, you guys did better than the average soldiers would do," Jenny said, "But next time, I'd like to see some REAL hits. You wanna succeed, you gotta hit hard! Don't ever let your guard down on anybody, no matter what! Everyone got that?!"
"Yes ma'am!" The group said in unison while saluting.
"You all are dismissed! Now, shoo! Get outta here!" Jenny yelled. The group of soldiers march out of the big room, leaving Jenny in there by herself.
Jenny looked around, where she saw nothing but a bunch of training objects, along with weapons that some soldiers can rent for a bit. Other than that, the room seemed lively for being in an HQ so dull.
"Hope they bring a little blood to their fights next time. They need to understand the true meaning of pain." Jenny thought. She then reached behind her to grab her Octo Sword.
Her face is mirrored in the gray, shining, sharp part of the huge sword. She didn't change her expression though. She just kept her normal, boring look. Plus, she wasn't in her "insane mood" as of right now. Which put most of the people at ease.
They were afraid to know what happened if Jenny were to be knocked off her square. Things could get real ugly.
"Alright. This killer needs a break. Training those soldiers puts a lot of strength out of a woman." Jenny told herself. And then she leaves the room as soon as she was done with her thought.
*scene: another huge room in Cephalon HQ*
In this room, there were some long tables where a lot of Octarians were at, eating lunch. It was calm, and the noise wasn't too out of control. It had some chattering noises here and there, but it wasn't too bad.
On one table was where there was one Octoling boy all alone. He had black hair that was short, and had a small mohawk in the middle. He had the usual Neo Octoling Armor, and also had the seaweed on the sides of his head.
His shades didn't have a red dot unlike other Octolings. Instead, the dot was white. But it didn't really make much of a difference. Still felt the same way as he lives normally.
Soon enough, footsteps can be heard.
"Mm?" The male Octoling looked over, and he was surprised to see that it was none other than Jenny. She sat down next to the boy, and placed a tiny container in front of her. Inside the container was a sandwich.
"Ah, elite captain Jenny Takonochi. I a humbled for your sudden appearance." The boy said as he bows in his sitting position.
"Cut the carp, Alfred Octoetecia. No need for that respectful bow anymore. Just appreciate why I am here." Jenny teased. She opened the container and pulled the sandwich out.
"Is that your lunch?" Alfred asked as he points at the sandwich.
"Yeah. Ham and cheese with some crushed veggies put into it. Wanna share? Cause I see you got nothing on you right now." Jenny suggested.
"Of course, Jenny." Alfred said with a nod. Jenny tears the sandwich in half, and gives one of those halves to Alfred. Alfred smiles as he takes the half of the sandwich.
And shortly, the two dug into their lunches.
"So, Jenny..." Alfred started, "I do remember how you always like seeing me in any sort of uncertain moment possible. Would I assume this moment would count, too?"
"Hee hee, you got that right, dude. You should be used to encountering me at this point." Jenny giggled after swallowing another bite she had in her mouth.
"Of course." Alfred responded.
"But, eh, what's going on with you? Is that weapon finished yet?" Jenny questioned.
"Yep! It's finally out of its prototype stage. And it's ready to be put out into the battlefield!" Alfred responded excitedly.
"Awesome. Intruders won't know what's coming to them." Jenny chuckled, shaking her head side to side as she thought about some disturbing pain that could happen to her future victims.
"Yes. No one will ever expect the best of the best to suddenly attack at unexpected times." Alfred agreed. Jenny took another bite of her sandwich and nodded.
"Who's to say we would know it shortly? It's dumb Inklings we're talking about," She sighed, "Cuz in our lives, we can often realize when an Inkling tries to intrude upon our dome. I don't care what their excuse is. They're NOT living."
"Of course, Elite Captain Jenny. Inklings just don't understand." Alfred said.
"You and me both, dude." Jenny replied. And she continued eating her lunch, and Alfred kept eating his.
It was quiet for where the two Octolings were sitting right now. But no one bothered to look out where Jenny is seated currently. After all, they know that if anyone were to stalk her, she'd end their lives right where they stood.
And no one would want that.
The two were silent for 5 more minutes, and they were finally done with their lunch. Once that was done, Jenny spoke up.
"Next mission we go to, bring that new weapon along. We'll make enemies fear the two of us." She stated.
"Okay." Alfred said with a nod.
"But give me the full detail here, Alfred. What are the perks you have for it?" Jenny asked, shaking her hips side to side again.
"It does have a high range, Elite Captain Jenny, along with its power," Alfred explained, "The firing rate is also very fast, so it's gonna be impossible to ever avoid such. It comes equipped with Auto Bombs, but also has a secondary effect to start a Point Sensor just in case. And the Special Weapon... it's something you specially made yourself, Elite Captain."
"My experimented Tenta Missiles?" Jenny assumed.
"Yes. I researched all about them since you first showed them to me, and I knew I had to combine your specialty with mine." Alfred said. Then he got surprised when Jenny approached him from behind, and wrapped her arms around his waist, smirking.
"Desperate. It's such a nice feeling for me to do to you. So utterly vulnerable around me." Jenny teased.
"Y-Yes, Elite Captain Jenny. It's your love for me, and my love for you. It really shines within us both." Alfred responded, stuttering a bit. Jenny then walks to the left side, but not letting go. Then she extends her right arm, and flicks Alfred by his chin, just for a little affection.
"You speak the truth, boy." Jenny giggled.
"Elite Captain Jenny, I would like you to please come to my office right now. I have something important to assign to you." Octavio's voice was heard from the loud speakers hidden in the ceiling.
"Oh, it's the General." Alfred yelped.
"I wonder what the big, bad Octarian boss wants today." Jenny mumbled as she lets go.
"I'll see you back in the the main hallway, Elite Captain Jenny?" Alfred requested. Jenny grabs Alfred by his face, then kisses him on the cheek.
"Loud and clear." Jenny said. Then she turns away, and walks to where Octavio's office is at. But not before the two wave at each other one last time before Jenny parted ways with him.
*scene: DJ Octavio's office*
Jenny closes the door as soon as she steps her feet into the large office. There, she could see the Octarian boss himself, along with a kinda broken Octobot King II. It seems like it was close to being finished, or reconstructed.
"Gyah ha ha! Well, glad to see you came upon my request, Jenny!" Octavio laughed.
"Why wouldn't I? I'm not some inconsiderate idiot who is afraid to do orders. Anything that involves messing up the lives of others, I will do." Jenny scoffed.
"Jenny, I would appreciate it if you would stop the rudeness for a second and listen to what I have to tell you." Octavio grumbled.
"Well, that's why I'm here." Jenny giggled as she sat down on a large chair, across from her leader.
"Okay, Elite Captain Jenny Takonochi, listen up," Octavio bellowed, "It seems like we're getting a reading on Inklings trying to go to other places we were planning on heading to ourselves! We cannot allow this to happen, so we have to take action immediately. We're heading our first aims at Mount Ikaiwa, as it has the most critical nonsense."
"Mount Ikaiwa? Isn't that the famous tall mountain that is deemed peaceful, but very dangerous to climb because it's surrounded by an ocean?" Jenny asked.
"You are correct," Octavio replied, "I am unsure why such impudent inksquirts would want to start invading a dangerous mountain, but I assume it musn't be good. With this in mind, we also have to-"
"It's for this reason, sir." Jenny interrupted while showing a wide smirk. And she pulled out a very tiny canister that was filled with blue ink.
"Jenny. Dare I ask, whose blood is that?" Octavio questioned.
"This is little remains of Charlotte, one of the members of me created Ryuketsunoshi Army. She managed to betray us when she tried to hide her sympathy for Inklings." Jenny explained.
"Agh?! Charlotte?! Didn't you once tell me she tried to desert us before with her exile you told me about?!" Octavio yelped.
"Yes, it's that Charlotte. Thanks to me, she is gone from this world. However, I am unaware of the location of Jackson, Riley, Emily, and Samantha. They seemed to have disappeared after Charlotte's death." Jenny muttered.
"That would probably be because they were close to her just as you were." Octavio said.
"HEE HEE! AH HA HA HA HA HA! ME?! Feel sympathy for HER?! Foolish! Completely stupid and irrelevant! The whole army was never my friends to begin with!" Jenny yelled, "I only hired them to make a group in wishes to take down Inkopolis! That's all! Not me for to hang around people, because everyone is going to die one day if they're in this army! It's dumb in general!"
"Jenny, calm yourself. Let's get back on our task here!" Octavio commanded.
"You're right. Best not to let my anger get to such idiocy." Jenny scoffed as she crossed her arms.
"Anyway, I think it would be best if you would arrive at Mount Ikaiwa. For the sake of defending it, but also finding out any mysteries." Octavio said.
"I accept. But also because of this," Jenny giggled, "You know how this little thing has Charlotte's remains? Think again. The rest of her remains are in the ocean of Mount Ikaiwa. And in case anyone wants it, I'm gonna take that back for myself, and break it before they can ever get the chance. Execution gone cruel!"
"You make valid points, Elite Captain Jenny. But I do want to say you'll need someone to help you out. But since you told me the whereabouts of the Ryuketsunoshi Army..." Octavio grumbled.
"How about Alfred Octoetecia?" Jenny assumed.
"Really? The leader of the OctoTeeth Army? You don't know them! Alfred is not to be trifled with!" Octavio cried.
"I wouldn't think so. Alfred and I grew on each other. He actually knows not to trifle with me," Jenny boasted, "He is similar to me in so many ways: bloodlust, betrayal, and belligerent experiences in this army. You name it! And trust me, he knows what I'll do to him if he ever tries to do something stupid. But I doubt it would happen."
"Very well then. Contact Alfred, and tell him where you are heading to. Do not hesitate during the mission! It's important to be wary!" Octavio commanded.
"Whatever, whatever. You got my point." Jenny said with a shrug. Then she stands up and walks to the entrance door, knowing Octavio is watching her walk out.
Before Jenny left, she turns back to the Octarian general with a smirk.
"And by the way... you're the one who hesitates, General Octavio. Get with the program. Murders are all the rage." She teased. Octavio growls in surprise once, but he didn't get a chance to react because Jenny was already gone by now.
Jenny pulls out her device used for communication, and presses a button. She knew it was Alfred as soon as she heard the sounds from the other side.
"Alfred. Come to my office. We're going somewhere." Jenny insanely giggles as she walks to her office.
A/N: Aight, that's the mini chapter done. Gonna be brainstorming and writing more often on Mondays and Wednesdays to try and see if I can at least get something out by then. This story is just getting to the rising action. Or it's probably not there yet. ;)
But yeah, that's all for today. Stay Fresh, and I'll see ya next time! :D
