Gamelover41592: Thanks

Okay, so I'm sure you can all tell why it's Agent 4 and not 3(and if you can't, it's because Sammy is Agent 3). However, this is actually kinda personal to me. Why? All of the agents will be based around my own avatars in Splatoon. Gender, weapons, and clothing. I added in some details to make them feel more alive, but I thought this would be fun. Also, in order to remember what my Splatoon 1 character was wearing, I actually went back into my game(which I haven't touched in years) to look. Anyways, time to begin.

"Glad you guys got here early," The head inkling said once the girls walked in. "We have a special update for today,"

"What's up?" Sammy asked.

"Did Sheldon make a new roller!?" Callie asked.

"I wish. We were going to do an emergency broadcast, but we thought it would be best if you three told everyone," The head inkling said as he handed Sammy a set of papers before walking off.

"Yeesh, what's got him so-" Marie began as she took the paper, only to freeze. All the color drained from her face. Callie and Sammy repeated her actions when they saw what had happened.

The Great Zapfish had been stolen.

"How….how did this happen?" Sammy questioned.

"Wait, look at this picture," Marie said as she pointed to a picture of the Great Zapfish before it went missing. It was blurry and in the background, but unmistakable.

An Octarian UFO.

"So Gramps' crazy ramblings had some sense to them!" Callie exclaimed.

"Callie!" Marie said as she slapped a hand over her cousin's mouth. "We can't let other people know about the Octarians!"

"So….Octo Valley after this?" Sammy asked.

"Yeah, good idea," Marie said. "Gramps is already down there most likely,"

"Squid Sisters are on in five!" A voice called out. The girls shared nervous glances as they walked to the news room. This was not going to be easy...

Nearby, living in an apartment complex, was an Inkling boy who had no idea what was coming, much like the rest of the city. This was Jackson "Jax" Inkwell.

"Today is going to be special, Snax. I'm telling you," Jax said to his pet super sea snail as he pulled his tentacles into a ponytail. They were blue naturally, but they would change whenever he battled. He then grabbed his never changing outfit, a skull bandanna, a forge inkling parka, and orange arrows, before looking over his two favorite weapons, the Aerospray RG and the Jet Squelcher. "Hmmm….Snax, which should I pick?"

"..." Snax couldn't talk, naturally, but his eyes went towards the Aerospray.

"The Aerospray?" Jax asked, knowing he wouldn't get an answer either way. "I like the way you think bud!" The super sea snail made what Jax could only guess was a happy face. He grabbed the weapon, along with a breakfast bar, before super jumping towards the battle hub. He walked towards the crowd of Inklings who had gathered the watch the news. Finally, the news came on and Jax's were drawn to the same place as almost every day.

Callie.

Most of his friends had things for Sammy, and not just because she was the last human. They said that they liked her sweet and kind nature. Jax, though, was drawn to Callie's constant energy and excitement. It rubbed off on him. Granted, he knew he stood no chance with her. Today, however, none of the Squid Sisters, Callie included, looked all that happy.

"What's going on?" One Inkling said. Whispers carried around the crowd as the Squid Sisters began.

"Hold on to your tentacles!" Callie began.

"Or any other limbs you may have!" Sammy added in.

"It's Inkopolis News time!" Marie finished. However, before the stages were revealed, Callie spoke up.

"News flash! News flash!" She said in what sounded like a forced happy voice.

"What is it!?" Sammy asked.

"Tell us!" Marie demanded. Then the headline appeared.

Great Zapfish Gone?

Gasps rang throughout the crowd as everyone turned to look at the tower. Sure enough, the Great Zapfish was missing. Panic rang out.

"What's going on?"

"How did this happen?"

"Where did it go?"

"Everyone shut up! Maybe the Squid Sisters know!" An older voice called out. Everyone turned to watch.

"Inkopolis' Great Zapfish has...vanished!" Callie exclaimed.

"Wait, seriously?" Marie asked.

"You're kidding, right?" Sammy added in.

"If it isn't recovered soon, are we gonna lose power?" Callie asked.

"That would be a disaster!" Sammy cried.

"Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine...probably," Marie assured them and everyone else. Another headline popped up.

UFO Sighting?!

"Aliens?" Jax thought to himself. "Nah! That's way too crazy!...is it?"

"I wonder if it has anything to do with that UFO crash!" Callie snapped.

"That would make sense!" Sammy agreed.

"Sounds likely to me!" Marie added in.

"Now, let's go back to the stage lineup!" Callie said, changing topics. After that, most Inklings went back to whatever they had been planning to do. Other then Jax. He knew something was wrong. However, before he could think any further, he saw an old man pop his head out from a sewer.

"Who's the creepy old dude?" Jax asked no one in particular. He was about to ignore him, only to get a better look at his hat.

It was from the Squidbeak Splatoon.

"If he was in the Squidbeak Splatoon, then he's gotta know something about the Zapfish!" Jax realized. He walked over to the sewer grid and, once he had made sure no one was looking, jumped in after him.

"Whoa…." Jax said as he looked around. He had never seen anything like….wherever he was. He noticed that the old guy was standing in front of a sign with pictures on it.

"Th-th-the oc-oc-oc...THE OCTARIANS ARE COMING!" He cried. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Aren't they extinct?" Jax asked. At least, that's what his school had taught him. The old guy then noticed him.

"Oh, uh, hi...guess I lost my cool for a minute there!" He said. "I'm Cap'n Cuttlefish, leader of the legendary Squidbeak Splatoon!"

"You were the leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon!?" Jax exclaimed. He thought he was going to pass out. "Oh my cod! I grew up hearing stories about you! I have so many things to ask you!"

"Hehe. That look in your eye...it's the look I've been lookin' for!" Cuttlefish exclaimed.

"Huh?" Jax asked, now confused yet again.

"The Great Zapfish that powers Inkopolis has been squidnapped!" Cuttlefish replied.

"I know it couldn't just vanish!" Jax exclaimed. "Did the Octarians take it?"

"Correct squiddo!" Cuttlefish said. "They want revenge for the Great Turf War of 100 years ago!" Jax's parents had told him about the war. It was for a fight about land and the right for the surface.

"But, how are we going to get it back?" Jax asked. His mind was made up. He wanted to help. Besides, maybe if he became the hero that got the Great Zapfish back, he would have a chance with Callie! But he couldn't think about that now.

"That's what I like to hear!" Cuttlefish said before pulling a uniform and a fancy looking Splattershot out. "Starting today, you are Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon!"

"This is so cool!" Jax said. Ducking behind a tree, he slipped the uniform on. It came with a headset, jacket, and shoes.

"That is your brand new Hero Suit! It will help you fight the Octarians!" Cuttlefish explained. "It's a great fit!"

"Hang on, if I'm Agent 4, who are agents 1 through 3?" Jax asked.

"Oh! Er...you'll meet them later," Cuttlefish replied. "Now let's go get those Octojerks! I'm countin' on you bucko!"

Things weren't too hard for Jax. The enemies were a little weird, but he managed. Picking up min zapfish made him feel more proud of himself then he had felt in years. He had also been picking up some scrolls that gave him some new insight on the world he called home. Once he grabbed his third, he made his way back to Octo Valley, only to get a very welcome surprise.

"Ahoy Agent 4!" Cuttlefish greeted him. "Remember when I said you would meet the other agents later? Well here they are. Agents 1, 2 and 3,"

"THE SQUID SISTERS ARE MY NEW PARTNERS!?" Jax screamed.

"Er...we have no idea why you would think that," Agent 2 lied.

"Yeah! We are nowhere near their levels of awesome!" Agent 1 added in. Jax had to stop himself from swooning.

"Um...you guys have a human with you. Last I checked, Sammy of the Squid Sisters was the only one of those left," Jax replied.

"Ugh, fine, you got us," Sammy said as she pulled her Paintball Mask off. "Totally thought this would hide the face I'm a human!"

"Sorry, it's just...I'm a huge fan. Er, I'm Jax by the way," Jax replied awkwardly.

"Well, you clearly already know us," Sammy said.

"Just so we are very clear, you are not to tell anyone about this, got it?" Marie asked.

"Um...yeah! Of course! I would never blow this!" Jax stammered.

"Give him a chance Marie!" Callie said as she wrapped an arm around him. She missed his blush, but Sammy and Marie certainly didn't.

"Hey, I think all those Zapfish unlocked a Boss Kettle!" Cuttlefish said. "Once Agent 4 beats him, we should be able to move ahead!"

"Um...on it!" Jax said as he rushed to the kettle and dove in, hoping to ease his blushing.

"Um...I'm fighting a cube?" Jax asked when he saw what was waiting for him in the Kettle.

"Maybe the boss is inside the cube?" Agent 3/Sammy offered.

"Stay sharp, Agent 4!" Cuttlefish ordered. A zapfish was lowered into the room.

"Are they just giving it to you?" Marie/Agent 2 asked. Suddenly, a tentacle burst from the cube and dragged the zapfish inside.

"What the heck!?" Jax exclaimed. Suddenly, the cube jumped up, standing on two little legs that really shouldn't support it. The cube also had a face.

"It's the Octostomp!" Callie/Agent 1 cried

"It's gonna turn Agent 4 into a pancake!" Cuttlefish exclaimed.

"Years of Turf War, please don't fail me now!" Jax said to himself. The Octostomp walked towards him and slammed down. Jax, however, dodged.

"Ink up the sides!" Agent 2/Marie ordered. Jax did just that and found the the tentacle was exposed. After blasting it enough, Ink came pouring out of the Octostomp, while Jax super jumped away. Not much changed from there, beyond the Octostomp removing parts of its sides, and the Octostomp was defeated in a glorious explosion of ink.

"Nice work, Agent 4!" Sammy greeted him.

"Yeah, you stomped him good!" Callie joked. Jax laughed. "See! He thinks I'm funny!"

"Well...I guess someone has to," Marie replied, causing Callie to glare.

"Geez! It's late!" Sammy said as she looked at her watch. "I guess we will have to continue this tomorrow."

"But what about the Great Zapfish?" Jax asked.

"Eh, we should have enough reserve power for the city," Marie replied dismissively.

"If you say so," Jax said.

"See you tomorrow!" Callie called after him. Jax felt his cheeks heat up again as he went to go change.

"Told you today was gonna be awesome, Snax!" Jax said once he entered his apartment, making sure not to be too loud. "You wanna know why? Because not only am I going to be the big hero that saves everyone, I got to meet the Squid Sisters! And hey! Maybe I'll work up the courage to ask Callie!"

"...!" Snax made an excited face, only for Jax's face to fall.

"Oh who am I kidding? There is no way she'd date a guy like me," Jax said as he took his clothes off, before heading into the shower. Snax's face fell as well. He wanted to support his master somehow, but how?

Hope you guys like Jax, because I am having fun with him. Also yes, Snax's name is a bit of a reference to what Super Sea Snails are used for in game. I have seen people who came up with the idea that Super Sea Snails can be pets, so I thought that was cute. Anyways, see you next time!
