We come out in the 'front-yard' of the house. To not inform my mother.

"Back here... Has been a while, hasn't it?" Linda is the first to say something once we stepped through the portal.
"For you. I and my brother have been here just a few days ago." Diana responds.
"I haven't been here before." Matt points out.

"No matter-what, there's no use standing around. So let's go already." I suggest.
They nod, so Diana and I enable HDD, before picking Matt and Linda up respectively.

"How long's this gonna take?" The green-haired girl asks pretty much immediately after we took off.
"Might take a few hours actually... Well, it's still rather early here and I doubt that those... 'squids' will go anywhere." I reply.
"Whoa, that's some distance. How do you come to the conclusion though that they won't move?"
"They usually fight for areas by inking the area, Turf War."
"...Won't that be a problem?"
"Nah, the ink is disappearing by itself after some time."
"That... seems kind of pointless..."
"I know." I deadpan.


Time flies as we make progress. I sometimes notice people looking after us, though I doubt that they will any air-force after us.
Now that I think about it, I gotta ask Linda something.

"Linda, may I ask a question?"
"Sure, go ahead. Not like I have anything else to do."
"Why were you not in prison?" I ask.
"Actually, I don't know. Nepgear might have stood in for me, so they wouldn't look for me. But I don't really know for sure..." Linda replies.
"Huh? Might be it though."

It's silent for a few seconds.

"How far are we?" Matt suddenly asks.
"Do I look like I have in-built GPS?" I sarcastically question.
"Y-yes?" He answers.
"Really, Matt?"
"Yes, really."

Dammit, Matt. Dammit.


"Land in sight! Set sail ahead, Captain!" Why, Matt? WHY?!

Japan was finally in sight... Still...
"Matt, shut up."


We have lowered to a height just above the buildings.
Matt opened a map on his phone to help us find the exact spot.

"It should be close-by... Just a little–"
He is interrupted by gun-shots, also causing us to halt.
Looking down, we can see broken windows...

"That's a bank..." Linda points out. Yeah... Good thing one of us seems to speak Japanese...
Bank?
"Looks like we've got something more important on our hands first." I say.
"Justice will swift. Justice will be painful." Diana adds.
"Hopefully Justice will be delicious, too... I'm starving..." God dammit, Matt.
"Justice first, lunch second." Linda explains and jumps down...

You know, the ground is still a couple dozen meters down...
She'll be fine.

Still, the rest of us lowers down more slowly.
The green-haired girl didn't seem to blindly run in either.
"We need a plan first..." She tells us.
It doesn't take long for me to come up with something: "Plan: Matt is staying here. Diana disarms them. Attack."
"Sounds good."

...

"People, we would like some personal space."
A crowd has gathered around us as we spoke... For more than obvious reasons...
I disable my wings, as they aren't need right now, and so does Diana shortly afterwards.

The crowd doesn't seem to dissipate...
"MOVE!" Linda takes the drastic approach and forcefully pushes the people aside.
I sigh and we closely follow her, doing the same if still necessary.

Except Matt. He's unable to quickly progress through the masses.

Once we get closer to the bank though, the people stay back.
They start to mutter to each other once they see us walking towards the building in question.

Cue Linda stepping in first, iron pipe in hand.
The two of us step in shortly after and take positions next to her, I have drawn my weapon by now as well.
Surprisingly, there are no hostages to be seen.

The dozen masked bandits (cliche much) have noticed us, stopped doing whatever they were doing and raised their weapons.
Whatever they say, I cannot understand it.
Linda can though and therefore replies (I think).

The sound of a gun-shot and the shattering glass behind me is not a good sign either way.
My sister takes this as her sign and flicks her left wrist up, disarming the bandits in the process with whatever power she has.

"Who wants to go first?" Diana asks, cracking her knuckles.
The thugs are obviously irritated by what just happened.
No matter what, the first one quickly springs into action and takes a mad leap at my sister.
Shortly after, another one jumps at Linda and one at me.

Three more bandits wanting to help their companions were hit by the former ones smashing into them.
[Insert K.O. sound effect]

The remaining six just look at their fallen friends...
"You have two, TWO options: Surrender or MEAT MY PIPE!" Linda... 'offers'.
Said thugs immediately raise their hands and freeze in place.

"Should we wait until the authorities arrive– Oh... they're here." I say as I turn towards the door to face a police-man. Closely behind him is Matt, flashing me a thumbs-up.
"This visitor told us about what you've been doing... We are grateful for what you've done but please restrain from enforcing laws by yourself."
As he talks about two dozen officers run past us. Most put the criminals in handcuffs while a few look for the people that supposedly were in the building.
"Who do you think we are? What about the fight between the squid and octopus kids?"
"A trio of teenagers. And... we..."

Sighing, I re-enable my wings, shortly followed by the blunette. We now hover closely above the ground.
"What?" is all the police-man can muster. Therefore Linda has a victorious smirk on her face.
"Look, we've got no time to explain so tell us where the seafood fight is." She requests.
"Just down the road... I don't have the time for this..." He points at the path towards the left.
"Thank yo–"
I cut off my sentence as I notice somebody with flat orange hair being lead away...
Because that ain't hair...

"Stop." I demand.
"Huh, why?" The officer questions.
"That's one of those inklings..."

Said inkling turns to face me before escaping from the grip of the currently distracted officer holding it, uh, her and running off.
Too bad Linda and Diana are there to stop her by taking hold of her arms.
I float over.

"If you can understand me, we won't hurt you." The inkling nods.
"Will you promise not to run?" She nods again.
Diana and Linda release her after that. The inkling does not make any attempt to run.
Now that I get a good look, she's only about one meter tall... Not surprising. Black jacket, black pants, black sneakers.
"Can you speak?"
"Wow, thought you'd never ask about that. My name is Viola.~" She speaks in a high-pitched, sing-sang voice.
"Deniz." "Diana." "Linda." We all tell her our names as well.

"Uh, sorry–" An officer wants to interrupt our conversation.
"No, she's coming with us." Diana says in a dangerous tone.
"Y-yes." The officer immediately takes fife steps back.

"I got off-tracked... Dunno how I ended up in there... I should probably return...~" Viola says before starting to head of in the direction the officer had pointed us in before.
We follow after her.
Where's Matt– Oh there, right next to Viola.


A/N

I legitimately started up Splatoon and looked for the first female inkling that appeared with orange 'hair'. And that's how the name came to be.
About the fan-game: I put it to the lowest priority until after Christmas, the release of VII and the finishing of this fan-fiction.
Until then... contact me if you want to help. I will organize something until then.
