HOLY CALIMARI INKANTATION OF ULTIMATE FISH IM BACK
God that took longer than it should have, I got really busy all of a sudden and when I wasn't I just ended up really freaking lazy, then I got a writers block and things got hard and ehhhhhh, plots are hard!
But I'm here now! And here's the next chapter! Have fun!
The Spicy Calimari Inkantation began to resonate throughout the area, and the waves of Octolings attacking them began to stop as they took off their shades and just... stared at the two idols singing their hearts out.
"Alright lets go!!" Yelled Ian, "BOOYAH!!" Yelled everyone else, except Orion, who gave a bored "yah..." that nobody had time to notice.
"DAMMIT, STAY STILL AND LET ME SQUASH YOU!!" Yelled Octavio, sending another fist towards them, only to get it sent back towards him, Sara and Sam ran together, each refusing to get too far away from the other, though the need to have eachothers backs were long gone, since most of the enemy octolings had gone off somewhere, and they were no longer being swarmed on all sides.
"Have I mentioned how much I like the Squid Sisters?"
"Yes Orion, that was like the first thing you said to m-LOOK OUT"
"LESS TALKING, MORE INKING"
Ink was flying, fists were being shot, and the entire thing was just chaos.
"Sam! Got any ideas?" Sara yelled over the music, "yeah!" She yelled back, "keep hitting him hard!" She said, sending a fist back where it came from. "You holding up okay?" She asked, "Now that your here, I feel great!" She said back, "but seriously, PLAN PLEASE, I wanna go home!"
As 3 and 8 moved around the massively inked area, Kelly's mental lightbulb turned on, "Sheldon! Do you have the Modified Rainmaker?" She yelled at the truck, though she didn't have to, considering they had comms. "Yeah! You want it?" He said back, "yeah! Give it here!" She yelled, earning a "Yes Ma'am!" From Sheldon as a little drone carrying a package flew towards her, she jumped up and grabbed it, dropping her Hero Shot.
"Why didn't you start with that..." said Orion, "I like my Hero Shot more okay!" She said back, "well what are you gonna do with it?" Said Ian, "I'm gonna smack Octavio in the face with it like I did last time!" She said back.
Meanwhile, Pearl was making a fuss, "how come we can't sing! We did it when Eight was saving the world last time!" She said angrily, her and Marina being out of Octavio's current focus zone, and there were no longer octolings attacking them. "Because they are the Squid Sisters Pearlie! Their song frees us!" She said nervously as Pearl jumped up and down in a strange sort of tantrum dance, "what about the Calimari Inkantation Feat. Off the Hook song that we've been practicing?" She said, puffing up her cheeks. "B-but Pearl!" She said, taken aback, "that doesn't even exist! What are you talking about!" She said, having a slight freak-out, "so? We'll improvise it! Ayo Sisters! Gimme a thumbs-up if you think it'll work!" She said, yelling at the singing idols, for a moment afterwards, everything was silent except for the girls' singing while they gave eachother looks that said something similar to: I dunno, what do you think?
"HEY," yelled Sara, who was currently occupied with Octavio, while accompanied by Agents 3, 4, and the guys, "EITHER SING OR HELP, BUT DECIDE QUICKLY" she yelled as Ian went flying past her, ("how tf did you end up being blown backwards!?" Yelled Kelly.)
"Pearlie, it's a good idea, but let's talk about it at home, Kay?" Said Marina, who grabbed Pearl by the back of her jacket, and started dragging her back to the action before she could answer.
"That is IT!" Yelled 8, "Pearl! We need the ultimate Booyah again!" She yelled, "but I blew out my voice last time I did it!" She said in protest, "I'll do one thing! Whatever you want! Just. Do it!!" She yelled in return, not noticing Pearl's new evil grin at the sound of her reward.
"Okay then! One super-powered battle cry coming up!" She said, bringing out the Killer Wail, "Sam, Kelly, let's do the thing!" She said to the two, earning a grin from the two agents, who ran towards her, ("what's the thing?" Asked Ian, "how would I know?" Said Orion in response)
Kelly ran to Sara's right, and Sam to Sara's left, all three of them went into their squid/octopus forms and super jumped straight up, however Sara and Sam shifted back into their humanoid forms when they reached maximum height, Kelly remaining as a squid, midair, Sara grabbed Kelly, and Sam, grabbed Sara by the arm and swung her around to throw her forward while Sara held the little squid in her arms, which then shifted to her throwing Squid-Kelly at Octavio, who they were now above.
"What the squid is that!?" Yelled Octavio as Agent 4 shifted into Humanoid form, pulling the Rainmaker out, and landing on the force-field around Octavio, "booyah" she said, firing at the force-field at close range, sending her flying off the Octobot King, while splatting the barrier around it.
"Damn you Squidbeak Splatoon!" He yelled, waving his many limbs around crazily, "I'll remix all of your brains!" He yelled re-aiming at them, only to look directly at Pearl's giant megaphone.
"Oh carp NOT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIN" he yelled as the killer wail struck him head on, sending him, and the Octobot King, flying backwards into a wall, though it was drowned out by the sound of Pearl screaming.
When the noise stopped, all went silent, until everyone (except Pearl, who silently rasped) yelled in celebration, Callie and Marie jumped down and embraced Kelly, who was already being embraced by Ian, though she didn't embrace back due to the fact her body went limp as her face turned red at being hugged by a good looking guy and too incredibly attractive idols.
Marina embraced Pearl, who was grinning ear to ear despite her now being unable to talk, even Orion was smiling.
"Alright! Way to go Squidbeak!" Said Cuttlefish, getting out of the now landed truck, "no agent left behind is what I always say!" He said happily, doing a little dance before going into a rap about the recent events, while Pearl tried, but to no avail, join in on the rap.
After the short period of celebration, they went to the wreckage of the Octobot King, with a Giant Snowglobe being towed behind them on a cart, "Okay, let's put Octavio in here and head on home"
Said Marie, pulling the globe closer before a tentacle burst out of the wreckage, causing them to drop what they were doing and being out their weapons on instinct.
Another tentacle popped out, and another, and another, until DJ Octavio was visible again. "Not... it's not over *gasp, bring it... bring it on..." he said before being pushed back onto the ground by a single heeled foot ("ouch..." rasped Pearl)
"Wait..." Said Sara, looking at the figure, "Coral!?" She said, looking up at the Octoling, who was now keeping Octavio down despite the protests coming from underneath her. "Relax," She said, looking at the multiple weapons being pointed at her, "you can keep him" she said, taking her foot off of the poor octopus before grabbing him and walking down to the snow globe, which Marie had open. she tossed the octarian inside, closing the globe and leaving the DJ inside with only his wasabi.
"Listen..." she said to Sara without making eye contact, "I don't think I'll be able to fit into inkling society, and I doubt any of you want me there..." she said sadly, "so I'll just stay out of your tentacles, okay..." she said, walking off before being cut off by Sam, Coral continued looking at the ground, trying to move around the agent, however Sam persisted, blocking her off until Coral finally looked at her and yelled "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!?" Before being slapped across the face by the inkling.
Everyone went silent, Coral as well, she was now hunched over, unmoving, a hand to her face which now had a red hand-mark where Sam's hand collided with her face, then, Sam grabbed her by the cloth on her chest armor and lifted her onto her feet, but her hand stayed where it was, so she could pull the Octoling closer to her, she glared right into her eyes and said to the girl, "that was for what you did to me" before slapping her again on the other side of her face with her free hand, earning a slight gasp from her friends, "that was for Sara!" She said, a bit louder, "and this!" She said, raising her free hand up, "Hey wait!" Sara started to say, before stopping in her tracks, at the sight before her.
Sam had pulled Coral into a hug.
"...is me forgiving you" she finished, Coral gave her a confused look, "I can already tell Sara has forgiven you, not much, but a little" she said, letting go of the Octoling. "By all means, I shouldn't be forgiving you" she said, giving her a stern look, "but guess what, I still am" she said, taking a few steps back and crossing her arms, "so now, just don't hurt us again!" She said, grinning.
"But..." Coral started to say, tear drops forming, "WHY!!" She yelled, tears nearly coming out, she was answered by Agent 3's calm voice, "I don't know..." she said, "I should loathe you, but I don't" She said to the girl, I know that Sara is willing to give you a second chance, and everyone else here as well" she said, looking at the crew, who gave a grin to the Octoling, except Pearl who was still confused.
Coral was silent, before wiping her eyes and walking past Sam, who didn't try to stop her this time.
"I still don't think I'm ready for your world yet..." she said, looking back at them, "but someday, I will be" She said, looking at Sara, who smiled and said, "well..." she said, looking at the girl, "we'll be waiting, I guess" she said, smiling, and with that, everything faded to white.
Later...
As the team flew back to Inkopolis on the flying vehicle, an essential party was being had, there was only Orange Juice, but it was a celebration nontheless.
"Hey so, about the thing Pearlie mentioned..." Marina said to Marie, "wanna see if we can try it?" She said, blushing, "sure why not!" Said Marie, Callie nodding in agreement.
Kelly was chatting with Ian and Orion, who had finally gotten a proper introduction to Sara, though they were now looking at Sara and Sam, who were sitting at the back-of-the-top-of-the truck together, paying close attention, everyone noticed and continued with their conversations, but kept taking glances at the couple.
"So hey..." Said Sara, trying to get a conversation going with Sam, now that they were in the clear, it seemed much harder to get a conversation going because now, they had remembered the kiss.
"Umm, thanks for saving me..." she said, blushing and smiling, Sam who was blushing slightly as well, nodded, "mhmm..." she hummed in responce, eventually Sam brought up the elephant in the room, "so about the thing we did..." she said, causing Sara to blush harder, "Well, I was wondering..." she said, her own blush deepening, "what do you... think about it?" She said, looking at the Octoling.
"Well..." Sara said, pausing, "truth be told... it felt like everything was okay then..." she said, "but because of the circumstances that it happened, it just doesn't feel right..." she said, looking down. "Well..." Sam said, averting eye-contact now, "would you... like to try again?" She said, causing Sara to snap her head back to face the blushing inkling, who had turned to regain eye-contact.
They stared into eachothers eyes for what seemed like forever until Sam said "w-well we don't have to I-if you don't want t-to" she said stuttering, beginning to panic before her hands were grabbed by Sara's soft and small hands, she looked the inkling dead in the eye and closed the distance.
It was probably due to the fact she wasn't in pain this time, was what Sam thought, as she closed her eyes, leaning into what they were doing, but the only thing Sam and Sara could think about in this moment, was that this was paradise for them.
They kissed for what seemed to them like decades, though it was only for about 5 minutes, which was still something, as they seperated, Sara blushed as she looked at Sam before saying, "of course I want to..." she said, "I love you Sam, why wouldn't I?" She said, smiling, Sam's face lit up as she smiled, leaning back into that piece of paradise once again.
Then it was interrupted by a phone's flash going off when a picture was taken, shocking them out of the trance, only to see everyone, even Cuttlefish, even CQ, even SHELDON, holding a phone and taking pictures of videos, their faces simultaneously went beet-red as they screamed out in suprise as their friends lost their minds laughing, while someone, though Sam and Sara didn't know who, yelled kid while laughing, "DAMMIT PEARL YOU RUINED IT AGAIN!!"
"Oh my god FINALLY!!" Said Pearl by writing on a board, due to her voice being blown out, "we've been waiting for ages" Said Callie, grinning from ear to ear, "I think I might die..." Said 3 and 8, blushing intensely, "everyone send your photos and videos into the chatroom!" Yelled Marina, which prompted everyone to take out their phones and start tapping away, Sam and Sara's phones (which now had signal) started notifying them of the massive amounts of kissing pics now being shoved into the chatroom, causing them to blush even harder when they saw the pictures.
"You guys suck!" They yelled, earning more laughs from their friends.
And with that, it's over.
And with that ITS OVER
ALMOST.
Were you panicking? Well there's just one more chapter in the making, and it's the eplilogue, meaning THIS CHAPTER is the FINAL CHAPTER, then there will be the eplilogue, it will be a lot shorter and just be a way to end off this story
BUT DO NOT FEAR, YOU NEED NOT SAY FAREWELL TO OUR BELOVED CEPHALOPODS.
BECAUSE IM MAKING ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THEM, YAAAAAAAAY.
Though this one will actually be a series of fluff filled one-shots, and no, it's not going to be lemons, these will be fluff filled one-shots that happen in order and have some form of story but not really, so it's really light-hearted, some may be less fluffy than others but don't expect big stories like this one, it's gonna be called the Many Adventures of the New Squidbeak Splatoon.
I'll be publishing the story immediately after releasing this chapter so if you check out my stories, you will see it right there, though it will be only one chapter and it's an Authors note, but you can follow it to keep notified, but keep in mind the first chapter for it will only be made when the eplilogue here is published and this story is labeled "complete", and I'll be brainstorming other stories involving things other than Splatoon as well, so look forward to that!
And for those who don't read the entire authors notes, here's it in a nutshell:
EPLILOGUE COMING SOON, CHECK OUT THE MANY ADVENTURES OF THE NEW SQUIDBEAK SPLATOON TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THESE GUYS! IT WILL HAVE ITS FIRST CHAPTER IN PRODUCTION AFTER THIS STORY IS LABELED COMPLETE.
See you next time!
P.S. notice how the last chapter is the 24th on here including notices and authors notes, what number do you get when you multiply 8 and 3, *grins*
