Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story. This one is about Splatoon. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Splatoon, Nintendo, and a few others do.
The Inklings and Octarians had a LOT of bad history, a LOT of things between them didn't add up perfectly, not only did they fight and fight and fight until they had been tuckered out.
A LOT of the Octolings had finally lost their respect for the leader of the Octarian Army, DJ Octavio after his latest attempt to steal the Great Zapfish, not purely because he was a bad leader… Well, some thought his tactics to have stolen the blasted thing in broad daylight was not only uninspired, but it had cost them a great deal of their manpower to have carted it away.
No, it was through a very honest power that the not-so-good DJ had also used to try and keep them in line: Music. With the music of the Squid Sisters, it wasn't going to be hard to have seen them in the right considering many did not see them as the horrid, ruthless enemy the DJ had told them to have been.
However? Not EVERY Octoling had seen it this way, eager for war, eager to hate and blame those who had rightfully attacked them in retaliation for their actions.
This, along with their doubts in general? Had thrown the Octarian army into disarray. Civil war even as both sides had wished for different objectives.
He continued to sprint down the corridor with several Octotroopers in pursuit. He transformed, leaping into the drink before he looked around, curious as to how many soldiers the good DJ had sent after them.
The stupid standard soldiers of the Octarian army passed him by. It was very odd considering usually the Octolings were the ones leading them in combat rather than them hunting their kin.
e Octoling slumped against the wall, they had been on the run for days and days and it was clear they'd been worn down MAJORLY by the idea for the time being.
Yet? The few who had managed to have escaped? They were free, they weren't soldiers for someone who had flung them at the Inklings with reckless abandon and fervor that hadn't been seen since when the great war… None of them were going to let this go easily, nor had they wished to keep fighting.
He, however? He still had to make sure a few more of them managed to get away. He shook, his weapon in his arms battered from battle while he questioned why he had clamped down on them THIS hard.
Perhaps they had touched a nerve. This wasn't going to have been something that he should have understood before he questioned for now.
He leaned on the wall, interested as they vanished into the wall and then continued their patrol. He slowly transformed into his humanoid form and became more and more tired, exhausted even as to how this may or may not be the end of the line for him.
Still? The rest of the Octolings needed him and he needed to have helped.
(5 months later)
The Octolings all continued to mill around and talk to each other before he shook his head. He looked up at the Great Zapfish which had been returned to its space above them.
He cleared his throat before he questioned what to do next. He meekly looked at his weapon before he sighed to himself, kicking at the dirt.
He was too prepared for now. He wasn't decided for now when it came down to it. He hadn't at all prepared for the idea of the war being won against the DJ. It wasn't going to have been a reality when it came down to it.
And even then? He had been utterly terrified when it had come down to it. He hadn't at all prepared for now… He hated it, he hated it entirely.
It was a moment of silence before he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth before he clicked his fingers together. The others weren't terrified… But he had been at the time and he'd always be.
The Octoling was tired, rubbing at the nape of his neck. It wasn't going to be fun, there was another terror on his mind.
His next job started tomorrow and he wasn't ready.
Author Notes
Phew. The first chapter is done! I want to point out that the next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will be 900-6500 words and will show both the plot and more about the Octolings and such. Until the next chapter and such. Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: Next chapter will be clearer and much longer and such. Until then, Lighting Wolf is out!
