"I really hate that human! I hate her! I hate her! HATE HER! Hate! Hate! HAAAAAAAAATE! RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHH!"
"Miss, you're causing a scene..."
She stood in town square, boiling with rage. Splatfest, the final Splatfest, had just ended. Everyone had gone home, almost everyone. Some people still lingered around, mostly to shop or interact. Many of them in a good mood. But she, the leader of Killer Ink, was not in a good mood. She was very angry, it was unbelievable, defeated by a human team and people loved that team now.
The Leader didn't care, she and her team had emerged victorious in previous Splatfest tournaments and had ranked highly on every favorite team list. It was unthinkable, her team was no longer at the top. The Leader's rage had peaked, she was boiling with intense levels of anger.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, CRUSTY SEAN!" Leader shouted, "YOU DON'T KNOW CARP! ALL OF YOU! AND DON'T BE LAUGHING AT ME, DO NOT LAUGH!"
It was because several Inklings were laughing, they were laughing at the angry blue Inkling who'd just lost her title to a former Inkling, two mustached Italians and a blue-haired girl with a cybernetic arm. The Leader had fought hard to get that respect, now she'd lost it and her life was ruined.
"Go throw your fit somewhere else." The crustacean owner of the nearby ice cream parlor told The Leader, he'd been interacting with an Octoling when The Leader started screaming well after Splatfest ended and he was on his break from his job with the parlor closed for a while. And what didn't help The Leader's mood, the jumbotron was showing pictures of Meggy, Mario, Luigi and Tari.
"SHUT UP, YOU TENTACLE-HEADED, CLAW-HANDED AND TENTACLE-ARMED TURNCOATS! HUMANS IN SPLATFEST, TAKING EVERYTHING FROM YOUR RIGHTFUL CHAMPIONS AND YOU SUPPORTING THEM! Leader screamed, "WE ARE THE TRUE SPLATFEST CHAMPIONS AND WE WERE SO CLOSE TO BEATING THEM!
"And if you're going to laugh at me, let those humans take our spot on your top ten greatest Splatfest players of all time list AND STOP SHOWING ME RESPECT, THEN YOU'RE GONNA GET IT, EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!"
Leader grabbed Crusty Sean's arm and twisted it, breaking the claw. Then the angry Inkling knocked the humanoid crustacean to the ground as Sean wailed in shock. She leaped at an orange Inkling girl and punched her in the face, the Inkling girl started crying and the Leader pushed her over before beating her up, screaming angrily as she picked the girl up and slammed her into a glass window.
She kicked a jellyfish and ripped out its tentacle, causing the creature to cry in pain. Sheldon emerged from his shop, completely shocked by the scene unfolding. The Leader turned to a blue Octoling boy and yelled, "I NEVER LIKED OCTOLINGS ANYWAY, YOU TENTACLE-HEADED VEEMO TRASH SHOULD BE EXTINCT JUST LIKE THE HUMANS! INKLINGS ARE SUPERIOR, NOBODY ELSE!"
Leader then punched the Octoling in the jaw and kicked him in the head, sending him flying into Crusty Sean's parlor. Several Inklings surrounded the angry Inkling and attempted to restrain her, but she morphed into her squid form and leaped out of the way.
Her teammates were nearby, casually watching their leader angrily beat up the Inklings in the area. While they'd been shocked by Splatsquad's victory, they weren't as short-tempered as The Leader.
Eventually, The Leader walked off, deciding to head home and mind her own business.
A few days later, The Leader was screaming with rage as she kicked her furniture and smashed a picture of Meggy Spletzer that sat on the wall. She was full of pent-up anger and couldn't get over it, she likely never would get over it.
"STINKING HUMAN WITH THAT STINKING BOARD!" Leader shouted, she'd been kicking and screaming for several hours, "HATE HER, HATE HER, HATE HER! AND I HATE THOSE MARIO BROTHERS! TRASH CARP! UGLY SALMONIDS!"
Leader sat down, fuming with fury. She thought about her life, recalling the good times, a small smile replaced her angry expression. Then, her mind slipped into fantasy land...
"Lost to a human! I can't believe it! Can you believe this, a human team beating us?"
"If you're that angry, go hit her, hurt her!" The Thug suggested.
"Oh yes, great idea!" The Leader remarked happily.
The crowd was still roaring with amazement as Meggy waved to the excited audience with Mario, Luigi and Tari at her side in the arena. The orange-haired human was beaming with pride, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.
"Citizens of Inkopolis!" Callie announced, "The first human Splatfest champion in Splatfest history: MEGGY SPLETZER, THE GREATEST OF CHAMPIONS!"
"Meggy, Meggy, Meggy! SplatSquad, SplatSquad, SplatSquad!" The crowd chanted.
The Leader held a knife in her hand, she approached Meggy, who's back was turned to her. An easy target, her guard lowered. She was going to pay.
She got closer and closer, ready to hurt her. Then Meggy turned around, Leader went for the strike, but Meggy dodged. The crowd gasped; the Squid Sisters shocked! Meggy punched The Leader in the face and twisted her arm, breaking it!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Leader screamed.
Meggy then grabbed the knife and stabbed her in the arm, making the Inkling scream even more. She then picked her up and slammed her into a wall, punched her in the face again and began socking her repeatedly. Then she picked her up and slammed her face first into the ground. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! Meggy brutalized The Leader like there was no tomorrow...
"Whoa!" Leader snapped back to reality, hitting herself in the face. She leaped to her feet and looked out the window, fuming with anger again. She then remembered beating up those Inklings in the square, how was Crusty Sean now, did his arm heal?
She shoved that thought aside. Cruel thoughts invaded her angry mind, she was going out tonight to beat up Inklings and cause them pain!
Darkness blanketed the city, everyone had gone to bed, save for those who still wandered around. Many Inklings were still discussing the Splatfest, expressing amazement over the human victory. In one corner of the city, a black Inkling was walking along and looking at his phone when a shadow washed over him.
He turned around...
The Leader struck, punching the Inkling square in the face and knocking him over. She kicked him, socked him, and beat him up! Then she stomped on his phone, cracking it, before stepping on the Inkling's arm, making him wince in pain!
"Oh my gosh!" An orange Inkling girl wearing a beanie cried.
"YOU!" The Leader snarled, "MEGGY SPLETZER, OR ANYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER, DESERVES PAIN!" The Leader yanked the Inkling's tentacles, making her cry in pain. Leader twisted her arm and kicked her in the gut, unbalancing her, then she punched her in the face hard until she was down on the ground in tears of pain and sorrow.
Leader showed no remorse, she beat up more Inklings in the area, shouting into the night with anger in her heart. The next evening, she did it again, beating up more Inklings and causing pain to anyone who'd supported Meggy.
The former Splatfest star unleashed her wrath, making everyone feel her rage. Then, after a few evenings, she stopped. All day, all night, she remained in her apartment and vented her rage. She would smash mirrors, hit pictures of Meggy and punch the wall. And as The Leader boiled with anger, nobody cared or paid attention, nothing could subside her wrath.
Not for a very long time to come...
The End
