Sorry for the very long wait, Christmas is beginning to end, so I'm running out of free time DX. But regardless, We carry on with this story. Be sure to R&R! :D
Chapter 10: Squidbeak Splatoon vs Octo-rock Squadron. (1/2)
Location: Fort Octagon
POV: Third Person
The Twins stare at their Inkling counterparts. Shinjiro keeps Yaki close, shielding her from future harm.
"How long has it been since we met? 1 year? 5? A decade?" Zaku asked, his hand on the hilt of his blade.
"I've lost count, brother. It has been a long time." Tan replied.
Shinjiro looked to Marie, "Who are those two?"
She looked back, "those two...they're our rivals. Let's just say, they've been nipping at our ankles so many times before Agent 3 came along."
"Who killed so many of our friends." Tan said.
"She did it cause it was self defence!" Callie replied.
"That's not an excuse, sending a 14 year old to a war. You inklings must be sooo desperate."
Zaku drew his sword, "Self defence or not. We are avenging our fallen comrades, Today."
Shinjiro picked up Yaki, she wasn't ready to fight these guys.
He dashed away, "I'll leave these two to you girls!"
Suddenly, the Octolings and Octo-Lancers gave chase.
Leaving The Sisters with the twins.
Location: Fort Octagon (With Shinjiro and Yaki)
Shinjiro muttered aloud as he ran through corridors. Yaki demanded they went back to the Callie and Marie.
"Those two can handle themselves!" Shinjiro replied.
"GET THEM!"
"SKIN 'EM ALIVE!"
He picked up the pace, giving an high pitched "AGH!" As he narrowly avoided a fully charged Splatter Charger Shot.
He ended up in an open yard, suddenly he was hit with a flashbang and a grenade which disorientated him.
He felt on one knee, hearing the muffled sounds of Yaki shouting.
POV: Shinjiro
"...!" I shouted, but I could hear was terribly muffled voices.
"... ... ...!" I felt a foot strike my back, sending me on my front, I felt no pain. But a bunch of Octolings and Octo-Lancers dog piled me, preventing me from getting up.
"Pre... T.. Spl...Sh..!" I began to hear clearly. I heard something about a Splattershot, in which I forced all the opponents off.
I turn to see a lone uniquely dressed Octoling with a Splattershot, pointing it at Yaki, who had tears in her eyes.
I took slow steps towards them, she stepped back, bringing Yaki with her. "S-Stay back! I'll splat her!"
"Let her go, and I won't hurt you."
She shook her head, "You lie..! You'll kill us regardless!"
I sigh, "I won't ask again."
I suddenly increase the loudness and anger in my voice, "LET HER GO!"
The Octoling released Yaki and ran back a little, aiming for me.
I jump in the air, evading her shots before swinging my blade towards her, she screams as she fell to her knees.
Suddenly I hear a metal clang, The Dark Gray Knight is in my view again, "Shinjiro..."
"Toshiro..." I jump back, landing at Yaki's side.
POV: Third Person
Both humans looked to their surrogate daughters, before turning their gaze on each other.
"You were about to kill her in cold blood, weren't you?" Toshiro asked.
"Self defe-" Shinjiro began.
"DON'T! Give me that..." Toshiro interrupted, his hands clenching into fists. "You were going to kill her..."
Shinjiro felt silent.
"I guess the twins found you, hm? Shame...guess now I have no choice now..."
"Toshiro, can't you and the Octoling leave with us?! We don't have to fight!" Shinjiro begged.
"And do what?! Tell Tako to kill her own people!? I'd rather burn in acid then set myself aflame than go with you!" He replied.
"Why are you making it so hard, Toshiro?! We are brothers!"
"Heh...heheheh..." Toshiro chuckled.
"Shinjiro died long ago...The Shinjiro standing in front of me now..."
Shinjiro felt daggers impale him.
"IS A DECEIVING, MURDERING BASTARD!" He jumped into the air before charging head first at Shinjiro.
Immediately, the two humans began swinging their swords, blocking and deflecting attacks.
"You are my brother no more!"
"You are overreacting, Toshiro! It's YOU who is poisoned!"
"Shut up!"
Toshiro delivered a swipe kick at Shinjiro, knocking him back.
Marie opened fire on Zaku, most of her shots missed why they were deflected by Zaku. "Is this all you have? I guess time does affect one's skill."
"Are you saying I'm old?!" She fired again.
"I'm saying you suck!" He charged at her, she evaded his thrust.
"Take it from the experienced, Marie, You don't have any skill at all, just luck!" He evaded another volley before he slammed his blade down.
she blocked with her Splatter charger, which cracked a bit from the sudden impact.
"Dang it!" She uttered.
Callie sweeped her leg under Tan, who hopped over and retaliated with a drop kick.
Callie put her arms up and stopped it, grabbed it and slammed Tan on the ground. "Haha!"
Tan got up quickly, slamming her elbow into Callie's stomach, knocking the wind out of her with a satisfying yelp. "Haha..!"
Tan stepped back, admiring her pained adversary, "Feel that? That's what pai-"
Callie slammed her heel into Tan's head, "Did you feel that!?"
Octolings, Octo-Lancers and Octarians gathered to see their second-in-command and their enemy clash.
Toshiro was overpowering Shinjiro, his sword inches away from his neck.
Yaki fell on her knees, if Shinjiro dies, she'd be captured. She knew what Octarians did to whose who had opposed them greatly.
When all seemed lost, a gunshot was heard, followed by a metal clang.
Everyone looked up to see who it was.
"Long time no see, Shinji."
"You..!"
Phew, we're closing in on the end. Not the end chapter. We still have a lot more chapters before I call this quits!
Who do you think the mysterious figure is? Comment who you think it is!
