To my surprise, his look immediately softened when he looked at me. "OH! I'm so sorry', the Cloud amiibo apologized, 'I didn't realize you lived here. Please forgive my irrational assumption". Surprised that I hadn't already attacked him, the Cloud amiibo set me (and my shaking knees) down on the ledge I had been sitting on before this exchange started. "What's your name, sir", I asked curiously.
"You're right! Where are my manners? My name is Rebel", he explained in a dignified, almost royal tone. It goes without saying, but I was incredibly intrigued and impressed at this copy of the SOLDIER 1st Class. "Well, my name is Rocky Road, and-", I started, but Rebel was quick to shut me up when he noticed that the Splatoon amiibo had come back. "Do you mind if I hide with you and your friends until these little ink monsters leave this territory", he questioned anxiously. "Sure thing', I replied quietly, 'I don't think Pitty Kitty will mind". With that, Rebel and I made our way back to Hotel amiibo.
When we arrived at the establishment, Rebel looked pleasantly surprised that, as he informed me, there was no tight security. Pitty Kitty raced to the front doors as we entered, exclaiming, out of breath, "Glad your *huff* back Rocky *puff* Road *wheeze, but who is *whew* this". I explained the story of how I met Rebel to Pitty Kitty, to which he gave my new, burly friend a kind smile and wave. When Rebel, Pitty Kitty, and I entered the eating quarters of Hotel amiibo, the other eight amiibo at the lunch table gaped at the sheer size of the new guy.
"Are these your friends Rock", Rebel asked. "Yes', I chirped, 'from the closest to you to the farthest from me, we have Pinky, Partychu, Galacta, MY SPAGET, Sams, PK Flash, Lukey Pie, and Lilac Link". Rebel looked impressed at the variety of creatures sitting (and not fighting) at the table. I pulled up a chair for him, and he sat down, pulled out a large map, and began writing in it. He remained mostly quiet throughout lunch and the rest of the day, only really talking to me (and scaring the crap out of Lukey Pie and Lilac Link).
Pinky started getting a tad suspicious, and so did a few other amiibo, and that was to be expected. I mean, we are housing a random Cloud amiibo that could be a criminal in our establishment, and all he does is write in his book or map. That was all summed up when late that night, around 9 to 10 o'clock, someone knocked at our door. "I'll get it", I mused, making my way toward the door sleepily in nothing but a blue sleep-shirt and black sweatpants. I opened it, only to come nose-to-nose with the same purple Inkling Boy amiibo, accompanied by an Octoling Girl and a Callie amiibo, that was attacking Rebel around lunch time earlier today!
"Hello, sorry to interrupt, my name is Sgt. Squidy, captain of the Splatoon branch of the Plaza Police Force. This is Octopi and the sheriff of the Central Plaza, Callie, my co-workers. By the way, do you happen to know the whereabouts of a Cloud amiibo by the identification of 'Rebel', he stated promptly. I froze, unable to process what to say: should I lie and possibly get into more trouble later, or should I tell the truth and, in turn, lose Rebel's trust? "Excuse me, but we don't have all evening", Sheriff Callie scoffed. I decided to ask them, "Rebel? I can't say I've never heard that name before. Who is this guy"?
"Well, Rebel is a Cloud amiibo that had escaped placement in St. Link's Prison for Defective amiibo (or SLPDA for short), accused and found guilty of stealing the Core of Galeem, the plaza's power source. We've been searching for this criminal for weeks, and we think he's hiding here, under the notion that you don't know his identity", Sgt. Squidy explained in a suave tone.
I was in shock! Rebel, the same guy I had saved earlier from these same amiibo, the guy that we offered room and board to, the amiibo that put his trust in me to hide his from what I thought to be dangerous amiibo, a criminal?! There was no way in our world that Rebel could be this kind and still be a thief. Then, I thought back to what Sgt. Squidy had said to Rebel when his forces attacked him, that he was 'going to pay' for what he had done. Suddenly, I thought that maybe, just maybe, these amiibo were out to get Rebel, and in turn, do something horrid. "Um', I stammered, 'I don't any amiibo name Rebel, let alone a known criminal". The Splatoon Police Department didn't look like they were buying the lies I told them, as Octopi put her hand on my shoulder and whispered into my ear, "You had better not be lying to us, Mega Man amiibo. The consequences will be dire to both you and your little friends".
Officially done with this crap, I grabbed the door and slammed it shut, right in their little oceanic faces, then proceeded to lock it with the new automated lock we got. Sgt. Squidy pounded his little fists on the door, demanding to be let in, to which I yelled through the door, "I don't care what you say! Not only does this house fall outside the plaza's reach, but I refuse to get involved in some wild goose chase with some random DLC amiibo! I'VE GONE THROUGH IT ONCE AND I DON'T WANT TO DO IT AGAIN! NOW, FOR THE LOVE OF DIN, NAYRU, AND FARORE, STAY OUT OF MY HAIR, SQUID KIDS". The Splatoon Police Force ran for their little lives, yelling threats like "You're not going to like what happens next" and "We will be back, and when we do, your time is up"
So, Inkling Boy's in the hot-seat, eh (Sorry to any Inkling mains I might have offended)? Well, anyway, I am really excited about writing a sequel to the story that gave me a start on . Be sure to read on, and also give me some ideas about the one-shot collection, we're in another lull and it's starting to annoy me. But, until the next chapter, Angel is out!
