I am back! Here it is! Chapter Three is here! Sorry for the keeping you viewers waiting on the chapter. A long hiatus I could tell you, and it couldn't come at a worst time, as I am about to begin my second year of college on the 26th of August.

To make it up, I decided to make this chapter long. Last two chapters had seen the views of Godzilla, the Squidbeak Splatoon and DJ Obtavio. Now what? Well, now it's investigating time.

On the side note, I got the results of the final splatfest from Splatoon 2. Team Chaos has taken the victory with a score of three to zero. I heard that it would likely affect Splatoon 3's storyline but that is just a rumor so far.

Chapter Three: Ruins and Discovery

Godzilla watched as the girl went to the group, sensing how her fear grew less as she walked away. Her relaxing made him sense the trait of the new species. If the "hairstyle" told anything about them, they had the commonality of both an octopus and squid. This made it easy since he could see the species willingness to not kill each other.

Now that he appeared and had saved them, they will be embracing him as their protector, unlike how the last species reacted. He wanted to learn more of this new species even if he couldn't talk to the beings or understand their languages. His purpose was not here but elsewhere. As it may seem, the giant octopus had sent a wake up call to travel around the world. Nature was calling him to check around to make sure there weren't going to be follow ups.

His duty was complete and the threat was gone. It seemed that everything was fine, although not fully. It was at all decided that he would leave for now. He didn't want to attract more attention.

He slowly moved back into the sea without a second thought and left a whole city frozen in his wake.

All the meanwhile, Agent Three explained to the other agents about the vision she had. This sent the agents into a series of questions about the mysterious creature.

The only thing that stood out was the vision that Three was able to explain. Of course within the history books, no sighting of the creature was recorded.

While the vision didn't seem to explain anything, it did show that the creature was alive and had interacted with humans long before all of them were born. The question now was, whether the creature should be feared or worshiped.

Agent Three did bring up her thoughts on how the creature could have been the reason the humans had died. There was no reason to theorize as it was too early. More information was needed to get a full view of the creature. Maybe there was a reason that the creature had wiped out the humans. Could they avoid the same mistakes?

If anyone could help them, it was Marina Ida. She used to be a combat engineer under Obtavio's command so some high tech would be needed along with information regarding old human databases, if any survived.

While the NSS had decided to head to Inkopolis Square. Up on the billboard, a familiar news jingle sounded. Unlike the usual however, a more serious theme was playing. The screen as it transitioned from breaking news to inside the studio. Marina was there on the right side of the screen, showing a expressionless face. On the left was Pearl, who was also showing the same result. It was not a doubt that they had seen the attack and were trying to come to terms. They were trying to keep their cool together, not to mess up.

Both of them began with her usual phase. "Y'all now what time it is!"

"It's Off the Hook, coming to you LIVE from Inkopolis Square!"

The calm and joyful sound of their voices were normal but the next line had showed that both were struggling to blur out the words.

"Rina, have you seen...what happened out there?"

"What do you mean, Pearlie?"

"Well..."

The joyful smile had faded away from Pearl as she tried to explain, her voice trying to stay calm.

"Inkopolis was attacked by DJ Obtavio today, damage is widespread and many were splatted but are very much alive."

"It could have been worse." Marina added as she blushed her tentacle away.

"Today, Cod has decided to lend us a hand by summoning a creature that was able to defeat Obtavio easily."

"It was pretty amazing from where we were."

"By the way, what happened to the creature, Marina?"

"Sadly, the creature descended into the sea and disappeared."

"For where it's gone, we will never know."

The board had cut to commercial after Pearl and Marina signed off the air.

Several hours after the two made that announcement, the two went from doing a news cast to meeting the Squidbeak Splatoon inside an abandoned building near the square.

Although Pearl and Marina were not official agents, they kept close tabs with the others ever since the incident with Tartar.

As Inkopolis was under lock down due to due to the battle earlier, the two had to wait until it was completely dark. The two quietly moved across the dark empty square and into an alleyway that led to the building where they were to meet.

Three, Four and Eight were outside waiting on them while the others were waiting inside the abandoned complex.

Once Pearl and Marina were safely inside, the three agents made sure that no one had followed before shutting and locking the double door; The agents even went through the trouble of blocking it for good measure.

The building was just the typical kind of what you would expect, being dark and dirty. It wasn't the place to meet up but it was the best anyone could think of.

To lighten up the mood, Marie and Callie had decided to cook up a delicious recipe of a meal from a famous squid. The classic inky cod in shrimp special from the depths of the ocean.

As they all began to eat around, it was Cuttlefish who turned to explain their encounter with the creature. Mostly, it was Three who did the talking with Marina. Three explained about the vision and if she knew anything that could help.

Marina was able to reveal that Obtavio was able to get technology used by the humans from somewhere. She did admit about having to incorporate some of the technology into some of her designs.

As for the location of where the technology was obtained, the location was not revealed to Marina. By chance before she defected, she was able to hear some octolings say something about some underground structures to the far north of Octo Valley.

Eight looked at the pair as she ate, her tan skin and golden eyes blending with the fire like background. Honestly, she didn't know what to think of this. Some huge creature saving them was the last thing that anyone needed.

What had interested Eight though was how Three was able to gain that vision by just touching the creature alone. Did that mean anyone would gain a vision as well if they were to touch the creature?

Furthermore though, it was kind of odd for the creature to just show up like that unless it had a reason.

Upon Three bringing up the possibility of the creature being the demise of the humans, the idea brought her back to the final battle with Commander Tartar. Tartar was an AI created by a human professor after all, having turned rogue and swore to destroy everything.

All she could think about was Tartar and the knowledge he had. It was possible that Tartar had knowledge of the creature but it was highly unlikely.

Four was up with Three as she had herself encountered some resemblance of human tech. At least ten months had passed since she was recruited by Marie and she had seen enough evidence to prove it. The octarians weren't going to stop until they have their way, by using whatever they could.

"Three, what do you think?"

"Digging up human tech is bad but using it to destroy Inkopolis? It sounds like something the creature would not respond kindly."

Four followed in on Three and added. "A mistake that's about to be repeated."

If the attack by Obtavio had told the Splatoon anything, human tech had already made it up to the surface and was misused badly. With Obtavio gone, the rest of the Octarians who were still under his command were in chaos. This would give the Splatoon an opportunity to investigate.

Since Marina didn't have enough leads on how to find the underground structures, it would be like finding some squid who's been hiding the whole time in a Turf War.

After thanking both Pearl and Marina for their time, the entirety of the Squidbeak Splatoon made progress the next morning, slipping into Octo Valley before anyone awoken.

In return, Pearl had given them something that might help a little bit. Pearl along with Marina's knowledge modified a music player to play Ebb and Flow in a similar matter to Calamari inkantation. It turned out to have the same effect, canceling out the brainwashing effects of Obtavio's music.

It didn't take long to see the effects as the splatoon had ran into several group of octolings that were patrolling. Nearly all of them spazzed out as the music was played at high volume. After some convincing by Agent Eight that the splatoon meant no harm, it was pure luck that the now freed octolings were nice enough to show the way to the underground structures before going their own way.

The mission had turned from easy to hard in a split second as the splatoon had to fight the rest of the way underground after the music player had failed to turn the more hardened octarians around. Due to the darkness of the barely lit cave, the agents slowly pushed their way forward. Time seemed to slow down as octarians were splatted one by one by the agents. Despite their numbers, they quickly fell and the agents were pushing forward.

Everything seemed to go fine until Marie spotted something that was a threat to her agent.

"Four! On your left!"

Four turned and splatted at an octarian that was about to gain up on her. "Thanks for the warning, Two!"

"Not a problem!"

As the ground turned from dirt to concrete, this was a sign that told them that the underground human structures were in their grasp. As the last of the octarians were splatted, the agents carefully checked their surroundings before relaxing. Cuttlefish surveyed the area to find human tech everywhere such as armored vehicles such as a tank.

Three opened one of the crates and found it to be filled with documents. Some of the papers were written in a language that Three didn't understand.

"It would have seemed that they were just about to make off with all these."

"Perfect timing... I'll say."

Cuttlefish continued to survey the area around them, the structures standing out.

"This must be it."

"Squidbeak Splatoon, look around and see if there is anything hidden."

"Right away Cap'n!"

Three teams of two were assembled to search the structures. Callie teamed with Marie. Three stuck with Cuttlefish and lastly Four pairing up with Eight. Within thirty minutes almost all the structures have been searched. Most of them were just used for storage for food and fuel. Four and Eight were fast enough and had got underway to scope out the last structure in the middle. They scoped out the first room that concealed in total darkness. Due to the darkness, Four ended up tripping over something and yelped.

"Four?!" Eight's voice cried out in alert as she heard the sound.

"I'm okay...don't worry..."

She reached aimlessly in the darkness, grasping onto something then pulled herself up. Unknowingly, her force pulled the thing down and caused some lights in the room to flicker on. Instinctively, she looked up at the light and led out a surprised woomy. Four then looked down at the thing she was holding, which turned out to be a handle. She looked around to see Eight in her vision. Four's golden eyes were looking into Eight's own golden eyes, both of them were motionless.

Eight broke the period of awkwardness with a smile, which Four smiled back in return.

"Well...that was convenient..."

Four let go of the handle, scanning to room to find something more interesting, letting out another even more surprised woomy.

Four held onto her headphones to talk to the others directly. "Cap'n, Eight and I found something that you should see."

Not a moment later, Three appeared from the side, holding a glow stick she brought along.

Cuttlefish followed in with Marie and Callie, looking at the object in front of them. They were looking at a big metal door that was shut with no entry possible. Nevertheless, Cuttlefish was amazed about the find.

"Great work! Agents!"

"Thanks, Cap'n!"

Four looked off to the side, finding that she had tripped over a power cord that ran from the door to a control room. A ladder to the control room had broken free and looked beyond repair. Some poor octoling must have tried climbing it before they arrived.

"I got this!"

Thankfully, she had a simple solution on her side. Four just shot a wall of ink up to the control room with her hero shot then rode up using her squid form. There were just two red buttons on the console, both written in an unfamiliar language. The one that was currently glowing was the one she pressed and it started to activate the door. The agents stood aside as the huge blast door struggled to open due to there being no lubricants for the gears.

Upon the splatoon entering, a series of lights activated and showed a large open room. So this was the place that may hold their answers about the creature and the future of Inkopolis. They followed the series of lights had led down a hallway coming to a doorway on the right that was a room filled with computers.

The computers were positioned infront of a glass window, linked to a supercomputer that was lined with drives of information.

"This must be it!" Said Three as she sat infront of the closest computer. The basic layout of the keyboard was similar to her own at home, minus the letters that were written in an unknown language. As soon as Three pressed down on a key, a loud foreign voice sprang out from the computer. "Detected lifeforms inside the facility."

"Carp!"

"Three? I don't think you were suppose to do that..."

Before anyone could react, a green laser began to go about the room, harmlessly hitting the whole splatoon before turning off.

"Scanning voice data and lifeforms..." The voice began to somehow it's wording into both the inkling and octoling language.

"Identification complete! Closest possible match to Squid and Octopus."

"Oh Cod! That's Incredible! It knows our language!" Callie threw her shades up in awe.

"The humans had something going for them, I'll give them that." Marie said smirking.

"I am AI Monarch, I would like to welcome you to [Slang not found]."

"Huh..." Eight noticed the pause in dialogue from the computer. It was similar to Tartar, only difference being just reactivated not moments ago. This supercomputer might have been serving the same purpose as Tartar, trying to spread the knowledge of past mistakes. It could have been some fluke that the supercomputer had a bigger mainframe, much bigger then whatever Tartar had stuffed into him.

"I would like to present to you an important lesson into the past."

The AI commanded five computers, including the one in front of Three to turn on; Swiftly going through the log in progress on it's own. A lot of information was being displayed for the splatoon to explore. It was a miracle that files along with video had survived nearly twelve-thousand years.

A data base within the computer had hundreds of monsters on file, including their first to last recorded appearance.

Three scrolled through the data base and found something regarding the creature that saved them. The creature was called Godzilla by the humans. The words that described him was 'A balance between nature and mankind'

"Godzilla... godzilla..." Three repeated the words until she could remember it. A lot of history was written about Godzilla, awakened by atomic testing by the humans.

The splatoon took the computers to look at the timeline. The super computer had history and information that was basic and dated back to the mid 1950s. Based on the detail, an organization called Monarch have been established to track down these giant creatures.

The timeline of events that Monarch had, could be accessed by a click. Marie hovered the computer's mouse over one event. A event that took place somewhere in the 1970s about a helicopter squadron being stranded on some place called Skull Island after a brief battle with a Titan called Kong.

The first major thing that interested them was the events of 2014, every detail to the smallest was included. This was where Three was able to learn the name of the human in her vision, his name is Dr Isahiro Serizawa.

What was interesting though was the from the year 2019, when the planet came under threat from a three headed monster called King Ghidorah. The events were recorded in detail as well. Starting factors being around Alan Jonah and Dr. Emma Russell. The splatoon simultaneously gave grunts upon reading that information.

You would have to go through a lot of idiotic decisions to just betray your own race like that.

What was more idiotic was the use of a weapon called the oxygen destroyer to kill both Godzilla and King Ghidorah.

Through the efforts of Serizawa, as Threes' vision had told. He gave his life to bring back Godzilla, to make him stronger to fight King Ghidorah, now in control of all titans.

The information from the year 2019 had ended with the rescue of Madison Russell and Godzilla becoming the new King of the monsters.

After the event, the humans sore to work together and work out some differences between them. It worked out but apparently later on, the knowledge about the monsters were ignored or forgotten.

A third World War had broke out in the year 2090 and lasted a decade, until the turn of the century.

Not much information was recorded about the titans, at least not until a fourth World War erupted in the year 2230. This war lasting twenty years.

Upon the last year of the war, some random nation had decided to fire several ICBMs over the south pole to reach the other side. A opposing nation ended up shooting down the ICBMs but caused them to explode prematurely. This melted all the ice and caused mass flooding all over, resulting in the end of the war.

Almost five years after the war had ended, that was when Godzilla and the titians rose. Godzilla and the other titans had decided to turn against the humans.

A fifth world war was raged as a result, but instead of humans fighting one another, it was fighting against the titans. Ultimately, humanity lost in the end despite being able to kill some of the titians.

Learning this sort of history was a bit of a shocker. This made the Great Turf War look small in comparison.

The humans have chosen chaos instead of learning. Creating five World Wars in the span of four hundred years.

Three knew that it was reasonable for Godzilla to drive the humans off the planet. He was just doing what was best for nature. And it would seem that Godzilla was the last of the titans, the sole destroyer/guardian of the planet.

This was enough of an answer for the splatoon. If another Great Turf War were to begin and become more destructive than the first one, Godzilla would make sure to put an end to it. Maybe however, he could be the reason another Great Turf War can be avoided.

The answers for everyone were held in this computer and it would be a waste to just destroy it after learning all this. So it was settled then, all of inkopolis were looking for answers and this was it.

Before Three was able to shut down the computer, a video file had popped up on the screen. A moment after the video started, a human had appeared and began talking. The splatoon paused and focused on the video; the computer translating what the human was saying.

"This message to whoever has found this lab and have found the files on this computer."

"I would like to say hello, my name is Madison Russell. I am the daughter of Dr Emma Russell and Mark Russell."

"What?" Callie exchanged!

"That is not important to this message. By now, I am sure you seen the files of the creatures we called Titans."

Madison went to explain how the man named Alan Jonah had been able to gain the trust of her mother. She explained that he had believed that humans were destructive and the planet had rightfully belonged to the titans.

"Because of my mother siding with Jonah, the people had turned a blind eye to me and my father. They believed that we were better to be forgotten. The knowledge of the titans will most likely be forgotten as well. Sooner or later, the titans will rise up again and proceed to wipe out humanity on their own."

"What I want to do is make a difference to give the next species or any survivors a chance. To whoever is viewing this, I hope you'll do the right thing."

The message went into a pause for a moment as a machine from the other side of the room began to open, releasing water vapor and lifting a huge block of ice.

"Me and my father have decided to come to the future through something we like to call cryosleep."

The machine somehow began to melt the ice and reveal two humans. It was them! Madison and Mark Russell!

Again, I am sorry for the two months of not updating the story. But I am amazed at how many are into it. The story currently has five hundred and nineteen views; It also has seven favorites and ten follows. Three chapters so far but expect more to come in the future.

Thanks for reading!

I don't think I will give the agents any names as of right now.
