The Eleventh Chapter of my Splatoon Fanfic. Phew, it's getting more intense now! But what happens now since the big bad has showed up? Let's see!

Warning: This chapter includes minor torture and blood/Ink, in one or two scenes.

Chapter 11: Betrayal

POV: Third Person.

Location: Fort Octagon Courtyard.

Shinjiro kept his guard up as he, Toshiro and his friends look up at the looming shadow.

Yaki, Callie and Marie remembered the shape all too well.

The two giant hands,

The massive spherical UFO.

The disco lights editing from within, no doubt about it.

This was DJ Octavio.

Shinjiro realised his Communication earpiece was freaking out around Octavio.

The Jammer came from him, he was here this whole time!

"Toshiro. Why did you hesitate to destroy these hipsters?"

Toshiro spoke, "Well...you know...So many blasts from the pasts show up, you're bound to-"

He was grabbed by a metal hand, forcing him in front of the floating mech.

"You have outgrown your usefulness, anyway. Your armor and weapons were copied.

"What?! Those were my data and mine's al- Grgh!" Toshiro was crushed slightly to silence him.

"I'm altering our deal." He dropped Toshiro, Tako ran to him.

"I see you have decided to betray me as well..."

Tako stood in front of Toshiro, "No...Tako..Don't."

She shook her head, "He'll kill you..! I can't let him!"

A fist came flying towards Tako and Toshiro.

Shinjiro interrupted it's path by blocking it, but even as he blocked it, it propelled him towards Tako, she ducked, Shinjiro crashed into Toshiro.

"Agch!"

"Argh!"

Octavio turned to face Callie, Marie, Richard, Tsung and Aria.

With a simple swing of his fist, the five were piled onto the knights, leaving Yaki as the only one standing. "Agent 3...You've been a pain in the backside for too long!"

Yaki clenched her fist, She grabbed Marie's Splatter Charger, aiming it at Octavio.

But one Octoling took aim and shot it out her hands.

One metal hand snatched her.

"Yaki!" The squid sisters yelled in unison.

Octavio held his hand up, as if relishing a victory, "Now Agent 3...I'll show you the pain of all the Octarians you have defeated..!"

Slowly he tightened his grip, Yaki gave a pained scream

Shinjiro got up to his knees, "Stop it!" He was ignored. Yaki agonised yelling began to echo throughout the yard as the Octarians cheered at the poor Inkling's pain.

He drew his sword, charging at the mech with newfound power.

Jumping in the hand, he slashed a part of the hand off, which connected the hand to the entire mech.

The hand released it's grip and out came a badly bruised Yaki.

But then the Octolings and Octo- lancers charged at the group, they stood no chance. The Octarian Force apprehended Shinjiro, Toshiro and the Others.

Location: ?

Shinjiro awoke somewhere, he was met by a figure, it was a cell with Yaki at his side.

Someone was also in the cell with them.

It was a Octoling, who gave the most cutest smirk ever, she'd never be taken seriously.

Behind her was a mysterious figure, who had their whole being covered by a cloak.

"How are you feeling?" She said in a sweet voice.

"I'm...fine."

The Octoling approached Shinjiro. She was just around his size. She nodded.

"I'm getting you out of here."

"Wait...who are you?" Shinjiro asked

She gave a smirk, "Octolia." She snapped for fingers, "I brought some guys, they said they knew you.

The figure shook, revealing 3 inklings, whom Shinjiro was familiar with.

"Rio!? Zack, Josh?"

Rio, Zack and Josh emerged from the cloak, armed and loaded.

"Don't think we'd leave you behind." Zack said as he smirked.

"Su and Shi are getting the others." Rio said, itching for a fight.

"I...think you'll have to wait for that...I seen them down the corridor, to the left." Zack replied.

"Let's go then! We gotta save them!" Rio said, excited.

Rio, Zack, Josh and Shinjiro, Yaki and Octolia reached the cell.

"Octolia, why are you saving us? Don't you realise you're helping the Bad guys? From your point of view..."

Octolia looked down, "We aren't the valiant Octarians anymore. It's filled with fear and paranoia now.

Even Toshiro began to notice. I thought, if we were able to get the Zapfish back, we'd be able to live again. But I was wrong...I...want to see what Inkopolis is like."

Shinjiro nodded, "we'll talk about that later, let's find the others."

Soon, Richard's voice was heard,

"You think that hurts? I've been in fist fights that did worse!"

The sounds of electricity was heard, "Leave him alone!" Aria was heard next.

Shinjiro dashed ahead, he had seen the torture chamber.

He had seen Richard getting electrified, and Aria tied up.

He shook his head, Richard has taken bricks to the head, he's a tank.

"C'mon ya kid, do your frickin' worst!" Richard taunted.

A sudden whoosh, the Octoling was incapacitated.

"Oh. Cheers mate." Shinjiro nodded to Richard, "Don't mention it, Richie.

Richard shrugged, "Never frickin' mind..."

"Where's Callie and Marie?" Shinjiro asked,

"Those two colourful lasses? I heard somethin' about an interrogation room."

"Thanks, you coming with us?" Shinjiro asked

"Hell yeah." Richard replied, helping Aria up.

Marie was strapped to a chair, fear overwhelming, Zaku stood behind her. Brandishing a small dagger,

"You will tell me where Cuttlefish is..." He said.

"N-Never..!" She said, fear in her voice. She suddenly gave a cry of pain when the dagger slid across her shoulder, leaving a greenish white wound.

"Persistent, aren't you? I can keep this up all night if I must. I can dip your hands in our ink, I can beat your senseless, I can electrify you or submerge you in water."

He stood in front of Marie, kneeling till they were face to face. "But I can stop that if you reveal his location."

With the last of her courage, she shook her head. "I refuse to t-tell you! I...I-I won't! Y-You can't make me!"

He smirked cruelly, before jabbing the same shoulder wound, this time with much force.

"EYAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Shinjiro heard a scream! "MARIE!"

He dashed down the hallway,

"Shinjiro! Wait! God damn it!" Richard ran after him, as did the others.

Zaku pulled it out, "Tell me!"

"Never..!" His eyebrow twitched as he grabbed her neck. "I swear, if I didn't swear on Octavio that I wouldn't kill you, I'd kill you!"

"It won't b-benefit you in a-anyway!" Marie replied, genuinely crying now.

"I still have Callie."

Her eyes widened, "You wouldn't..." She replied.

"I know how mentally weak she is, she couldn't withstand the pain you're in."

"If you touch her, I'll-"

The blade sunk into her shoulder, causing her to yelp in pain once more.

"You'll what? Scream and cry like the miserable Inkling you are? You are in no place to be make idle threats!" He twisted the blade slightly and yanked it out, light green ink following the tip.

Marie was panting heavily. The pain was to great "Someone...help me..!"

Zaku, smirked, he finally snapped her. "Go ahead, cry for help then. See what do it does you."

Marie began to wail, "Callie! Shinjiro! YAKI! HELP ME!"

Zaku heard something outside the cell, "I'm coming! Hold on!"

"It's-!?" Zaku was struck hard by Tsung. Knocking the Octo-lancer elite unconscious.

"Oh god..!" He said upon looking at Marie, her clothes were tattered, wounds covered her arms. "Good thing I found my First Aid before I came here."

He set her on a more comfortable spot. "alright...this may sting a little..."

Shinjiro had noticed Callie in her cell, hands covered her face. "Oh no...!" He barged the cell down, holding his shoulder, seething. "Where's Marie."

"I-I...don't know, but when they took her out, I heard her scream in pain and...it's stopped..."

He held her in an embrace. "She's tougher than you think, I doubt she's gone!" He held her up, thank god she wasn't hurt.

He couldn't say the same for the other squid sister, however...

Marie gritted her teeth as Tsung patched the last wound up, wrapping a bandage around her whole arm.

"Will...It heal?" She asked,

"As long as you don't pressure it. It should be around a few hours, maybe a full day.

She nodded, "we must find the others."

Tsung carried her, she felt light in his arms. She had a little tint of red on her cheeks as he sprinted down the hallway.

Soon they found the group heading towards the same cell, just a different route.

Marie was put down by Tsung, she ran to callie and hugged her from behind.

"Yaki...I know you're trying to cheer me up, but hugging me from behind won't help.." But then she realised Yaki was a little smaller than Marie.

Callie turned to face Marie. Tears welled in each other's eyes as they embraced each other.

The two held one another tightly, refusing to let go.

Shinjiro smiled at the reunion.

"We need to get out of here..." He said.

"But, Shinji, The zapfish, you guys need it, right?" Zack said, Rio fangirling behind him,

"It's the Squid Frickin' Sisters!" He said to himself quietly.

"Look at us. We cannot go on any longer." Shinjiro replied,

Tsung nodded, "He's right. If we progress now, it will only result in our capture and possibly, our execution. We must regroup, rearm and rethink our strategy.

I have called for an evac, just in the courtyard. We should get out thinks in the armoury."

Everybody agreed as they made a break for the Armoury.

Woooo Marie Fans are gonna hate me for this. ;-; I'm sorry.

But hey, at least we get to see adorable cuddle, yush?

Sorry for the late update. I have to focus on College. They are upping the ante of Difficulty now.

But yeah. Hopefully chapter 12 is filled with action, romance and more screa- uh, more tears!

Stay fresh and review :D
