It had been two years since I had arrived at Inkopolis. Since then I have become a turf war champion, as well as Agent 3 of the New Squid Beak Splatoon, and saved the whole city from evil creatures called Octarians. I'd like to think I'm a pretty cool guy. But I'm still just one inkling, and one inkling can only do so much. I just wish that I could-
"Dae? Earth to Dae! Yo, Dae!"
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the one who had interrupted me. It was my friend Ellie. We were waiting for my sister Alaine at the train station. Si was there too jamming out to his music giving no heed to the world around him.
"Having deep thoughts about being insufficient again are we?" Ellie asked. Man, I swear she can read my mind!
"Ya'know for someone named silence he sure does like music." I said pointing to my brother trying to evade her question. Ellie raised an eyebrow at me and looked like she was about to ask me again when suddenly the train pulled up.
"Thank the squid sisters!" I thought. That was a little too close though; I will need to be more careful next time with my facial expressions. Of course little good it would do me with Ellie around. I looked around at my friends who were here to greet my sister. Among them was Sizz an inkling boy with red orange hair and a fiery attitude to go with it, as well there was my friend Jazz, a mellow music loving inkling girl with indigo hair.
Sizz, who thought (wrongly) that he was the universe's gift to girls, kept on flirting with Jazz who had recently become his center of affection. Poor girl.
"So Jazz," Sizz started, "I was wondering if after this you might want to with me to see that new movie 'Inkside Out'?"
Jazz just laughed, "Maybe some other time hot shot! Oh look here comes Dae's sister now!" I turned my head smiled at Alaine greeting her with a hug. It had been almost a year since I had seen her, my family didn't come up to visit much because Inkopolis was so far away.
"How's it been hanging sis?" Si asked Alaine.
"Oh you know, so-so." She replied.
"Well how about I introduce you to my friends," I said. "The one with Yellow hair and perky attitude is Ellie!" Ellie smiled warmly and waved at Alaine.
"The one with the head phones is Jazz!" Jazz walked up to Alaine and said, "So nice to finally meet you Dae has told me so much about you!"
"And last but not least" I said, "is Sizz!" Sizz pulled down his sunglasses and winked, earning him a few giggles from the girls around him.
"So where did you guys get your nick names from?" Alaine asked the group.
"Well," Sizz said, "Jazz got hers because she likes to listen to music, I got mine from my original nickname Sizzle which I got because of the color of my hair, and Ellie's is just an abbreviation of her real name."
"So aren't you guys like a turf wars team?" Alaine began her new question. Si laughed.
"What?" She inquired him. Si stopped laughing just long enough to choke out, "'Like a turf war team?' Sis you're standing in the presence of The Turf War team! They're the number one team in the city!"
"Wow, I'm sorry I had no idea! I-"Alaine stuttered.
"Don't sweat it Alaine!" Sizz said, "You're new to Inkopolis!"
"You know what?" I said, "I'm starving how about we treat you to lunch sis?"
"Oh, ok!" Alaine replied.
This is going to be a great day I could just know it!
General Trent Callum stepped out of the time portal. He looked around, quickly becoming familiar with his surroundings. He was in the sewers. Close confinements. Dark. Perfect place for an ambush. He quickly looked behind him too see that all 100 of his men had exited the portal as well. He raised his hand and they all became silent.
"Men, you all have left behind your homes and your families with the probability of never being able to return home. And for that, I salute you. You were told very little about why you came here, in fact you only knew that you going to the future with a very small chance of being able to return home. I myself didn't even know why we were coming here until an hour before we left, having been instructed to not tell you our purpose in coming here until we arrived. So let me tell why you have come to the future leaving behind everything you have ever known. We are here to see if humanity is extinct, and if so to revive it. But if some other creature has evolved to the point of sentience that purposes an issue to our mission, because humanity cannot I repeat cannot have a competitor."
A solider raised his hand. "Sir if I may ask; what do we do if this thing has happened?"
At this the general smiled. "We find them, and then we eliminate them."
