In an apartment not too far from Inkopolis center, there was a sleeping Inkling of around 18 years of age, with bright orange tentacles, as well as her eyes.
(A/N: For those who want to know, this is none other than the Inkling Girl, but since this Splatoon character does not have a name, I will give her one in this story)
(T/N: Her actual name is Kaori by the way)
Covered up to her head, the sleeping girl would have continued with her lethargy, if not for an alarm clock besides her on top of a nightstand.
"Mmm..." complained the Inkling as she turned around, turning her back on the alarm clock and covering her head, trying to keep sleeping.
But the alarm clock continued with its irritant and repetitive sound, making the squid girl finally give up and sit on her bed, turning off the alarm clock while one of her tentacles covered her eyes.
"Curse whoever invented alarm clocks..." said the sleepy Inkling while with a slight movement of her head, she removed the tentacle from her face, revealing the characteristic black mask around the eyes that each Inkling has.
The young squid girl gave a big yawn, revealing three big fangs on her set of teeth, while rubbing one of her eyes.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, a cute cream pink pajama could be seen, while at the same time she stood up and walked out of her room still sleepy, heading for the bathroom.
By the time she arrived, she looked at herself in the mirror while turning on the sink faucet.
"How I wish something out of this routine would happen" said the inkling while bringing some cold water to her face to wake her up, to which it worked, since when she touched the cold water with her face it made her jump a little, later she disposed herself to brush her teeth and leave the bathroom, now wide awake.
Later she returned to her room and changed her pajamas for a white T-shirt with some sort of letters at the front, some elastic shorts that when putting them on, the round and well-formed butt of the inkling could be well seen, a big pair of headphones and some white and pink sneakers.
Leaving her room, she went down a set of stairs and went directly to the kitchen to make herself breakfast.
Nothing out of the ordinary. A cup of coffee, a few toasts with jam and some donuts.
After finishing breakfast and cleaning the dishes she used, she moved to the living room of her apartment and turned on the TV, followed by switching channels while something in her mind was bothering her, as if she were forgetting something.
But her question was answered when she heard her SquidPhone ring, and when she checked it, she saw a message from her friend Levin.
MSG:~Nary, we're waiting for you for our turf war against the Ink Spitters, if you're not dead in your bead please hurry up!~
Seeing the message from her friend, Nary's eyes grew wider while she ran from one side to the other.
"Damn it, I overslept again, the guys are going to turn me into squid stew!" said Nary while holding her head.
(T/N: The original joke mentioned ceviche instead of squid stew, ceviche being a seafood dish that can be served with diced squid)
"Ok calm down... If you hurry up, you can still arrive before they get tired of waiting!" said Nary while grabbing the TV remote and turning it off, before rushing towards the door and trying to get to the arena of the biggest game in all Inkopolis, Turf Wars.
But due to her haste, she didn't realize that instead of turning the TV off, she switched channels, tuning in to the news, which showed the discovery of an ancient vault from a long-gone race.
But what no one knew at the time was that far away from the city, crossing the Octo Valley Forest, the view of another giant set of metallic doors besides a great stone wall could be seen, which with a great roar were slowly opening, and once opened, revealed a group of Octolings leaving towards the exterior.
But the moment the group left, the leader of said team brought a pair of her fingers towards the side of her goggles, pressing a button on it, and projecting a map on the lens of the device.
A long way awaited them, since in the map that was shown on the Octoling's goggles, a blinking dot was shown, said dot being the place they were heading, and unfortunately... the same zone a certain pair of scientists was gathered.
"Just accept it, your friend isn't going to come, and you're still just three people" said a male inkling with green tentacles, dark skin, a red jacket, and beach pants.
"Just give her five more minutes Whater, she will arrive any moment now" said another inkling with blue tentacles, green colored eyes, white skin, a black T-shirt, and red pants.
"We've been waiting for your friend for almost an hour, we should just go challenge another team, if your friend isn't here then that's your problem" said Whater as he turned around and started to leave along with his team.
"Waaaaaiiit!" Nary was heard from the distance, running like death was chasing after her.
"Nary, it's been years, don't tell me you overslept again!?" said Levin with a comic vein on his forehead. "Don't you have an alarm clock or something like that!?" continued yelling Levin to the now panting squid girl.
"I-I'm sorry... It's just that... I always forget to set the time..." said Nary between breaths, looking at her friends.
"You should start taking some responsibility, Nary" said another Inkling with purple Tentacles, dark skin, yellow-colored eyes, and wearing almost the same clothes as Nary.
"I already said I'm sorry, Shara" said Nary looking at the purple tentacled inkling.
"Well, looks like your friend's arrived just in time" said Whater looking to the group of four friends now gathered.
"Now we're all ready to kick your butts!" said the fourth inkling besides Shara enthusiastically, sporting dark violet tentacles and dark skin as well, although a lighter tone than Shara's, grey colored eyes, and clothes like the ones being worn by the girls, his being the male counterpart.
"Nayls, calm down a little, remember that these guys are pretty good, did you already forget how difficult it was to convince them for a turf war?" said Shara towards the inkling at her side.
"Oh come on Shara, we're also pretty good" Said Nayls putting his arms behind his head.
"Alright quit it you two, we have a turf war to win, and the rest are already in" said Levin looking at the team they were going up against, entering Ammo Knights.
"Let's go with Sheldon for our weapons and let's show the Ink Spitters what SquidFire is made of!" said Levin, earning a big "YEAH!" from the other three members of the team.
Far away from the city, in a forest, in a neutral zone between Inkopolis and Octomburg, not too far from the sea. A group of inkling guards and scientists gathered inside a cave, in front of the large doors of a vault.
"So, what do you think? Do you think we can find great discoveries from the Ancients in this vault?" said one of the scientists of the group towards an older inkling, with yellow tentacles as well as his eyes, and a big white coat that almost reached the floor.
"Well that's completely obvious. You can well see how time has taken its toll on this door, and we had to dig deeper into this cave to find it" said who appeared to be the head of the science team.
"But how will we enter this giant vault?" said one of the female scientists.
"I don't know, the steel on this door must be at least 15 centimeters thick, not to mention we don't know the code to open it, and there's also the fact that the handles and the knob to place the code are completely rusted, which will make it even harder to try to open" said Dr. Binz, putting one hand on his chin to think of another way to enter.
(T/N: 15 centimeters is about 5.9 inches)
"Hey, what if we just give it a good smack? I mean, this door's been underground for centuries, surely all that time rusting has left it fragile enough to break it" said one of the guards that accompanied them.
"Your idea is lacking in logic, young one. It's true that this door has been here for a lot of years, but I don't think that-..." Binz couldn't finish his sentence since everyone heard a metallic crunch.
"Hey, it worked!" said another female inkling, who made a small hole on the giant door.
Binz turned to look at the guard who had the idea, who was staring at him with a smile on his face.
"Not a word about this" said Binz dryly towards the guard before turning towards the door.
"Alright, let's open this door" continued Binz, looking at the vault with a smile and his hands on his hips.
Translator's Notes, continued: The reason I replaced the ceviche joke with a squid stew one was because it felt out of place when being translated to English, being a dish native to South America but probably not well known amongst English speaking countries, leaving it as is would have caused confusion on some readers, ruining the immersion. Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.
