Chapter Three:
A Beanie Girl's Nightmare
####
The past few years had been rough.
And, for her, life used to be simple, peaceful, and fun. She remembered her life in Inkopolis, from each day she spent with her parents, to meeting Oneshot Wren, to forming the SplatSquad with Kenji, Sam, and Heavy Squid. In those days, she would train, and go about her day.
Eventually, her life changed forever when she wound up stuck in that paint can, when Mario saved her from that brief imprisonment. She was happy that she met Mario. Thanks to him, she had so many adventures, and made many new friends along the way.
If there was one conundrum to worry about, it had been Splatfest. Despite training hard, the SplatSquad, with Mario, had failed in their match against the Ink Brigade. But with the memories of Oneshot Wren motivating her, she'd trained harder despite the ever-mounting odds, and despite the team changing with the departure of Kenji and Sam.
And that was all before everything went downhill in a major way for Meggy Spletzer. Just as stated before, the past few years were rough.
She remembered the fateful day, when she was kidnapped, and brought to the island. At first, she was a prisoner. But then, as she learned, she was much more than a prisoner within that facility.
Francis intended to use her ink as fuel for the Ink Weaver.
In those fateful hours, despite her and Desti's efforts to escape, and despite all the gang could do to save Meggy, nothing and no one could save the aspiring champion-to-be from the pain of having all the ink sucked from her. And, once the last drop had been leached from her, she was an Inkling no more.
She was human.
She was an anime girl.
She had become a waifu, and she had become one of Francis' many slaves, and nobody cared how old she was whenever certain individuals residing on Anime Island made their advances upon her.
Following that fateful day, and from the moment Francis kissed the orange-haired human, all that Meggy knew was pain, and suffering. Nothing was more humiliating, than being violated, being kissed non-consensually, and to be left alone in a dark chamber before the next round.
Meggy Spletzer, the upcoming star of Inkopolis, wasn't just a tormented prisoner. The former Inkling known as Meggy Spletzer was a slave, and one of many waifus.
Every day, and every moment on the island, from the first second she'd become human, had been undeniably unbearable for Meggy. They'd deprived her of the beanie gifted to her by Oneshot Wren, destroyed her old clothes, and forced her to wear a white low-cut slave dress before incarcerating the former Inkling within a sub-level cell.
Chained to the wall 24/7, Meggy endured loneliness, moments of isolation, and the greatest and most terrifying moment of all whenever Francis came to see her. And when he'd kissed her without Meggy's consent, she was left in tears.
Now and then, she would see Saiko, one of the handful who fed the former Inkling her daily meals. When they got the chance, they would chat, with Meggy hoping for the day she would finally be free from this nightmare. Despite being loyal to Francis, Saiko assured the ex-Inkling that she still cared for her safety and sanity.
She stared down at the floor, letting her mind replay an old memory, from before she had to endure the horror of the island. It was a simple memory, a memory of when she hung out with Mario, when they didn't have to worry about training for Splatfest. In those moments, she hoped the fat Italian was safe, wherever he was in an anime-ruled world.
Occasionally, her mind drifted, to think of the dreams she often had. During dark Saturday nights, after long and tormenting days, Meggy would find herself having dreams of a different life, where Francis was defeated, and she still had adventures with the gang.
In those dreams, the former Inkling caught glimpses of herself having pizza with Mario on ice, and watching fireworks at a festival with the others. She would even find herself seeing the day she finally rose to the top as Splatfest's champion, a moment she dreamed of for years.
As those visions went on, Meggy would see the gang battling an eldritch virus with Axol meeting his end. She saw brief glimpses of Funky Kong in a lawyer costume, Peach's Castle sinking into a crater, Oneshot Wren shooting her, and someone with a TV for a head.
When she awakened from those dreams, a tear would often roll down her cheek, as Meggy knew that, even if she got out and was free again, many of her wishes would never come to pass.
She felt the cold metal of her cuffs roll around the skin of her wrists, and Meggy could feel her hands getting a little prickly. Traces of sweat rolled down her neck, and her toned human back, partially staining her dress. She knew they would give her a new one soon, just as she knew that Francis would be putting her through something beyond kinky.
No, not kinky in the fun way. Torturous.
Most of the time, the chains weren't just for imprisonment. Francis would often chain her to his bed on Saturdays, at 6:00, leaving her helpless as he kissed her up. And when he was finished playing with Meggy, it was back to her cell.
God, Anime Island was the worst paradise ever.
Meggy felt her heart pounding, and she counted off the minutes until someone came to feed her... or drag her out for more torment. She winced as thoughts of being surrounded by those tentacled creeps, the Octarians, crept to the surface. And Francis was always there, with Anime Queen Saiko by his side, watching every moment.
A moment later, she heard the door open, and saw the shadow. A laugh echoed through the room, and a pair of WeaBoos appeared before Meggy while sticking out their tongues in a hungry manner.
'It's time, isn't it? They're about to do it...' She thought.
The first Boo brought out a key, and Meggy felt the wall cuffs unbind. And then, new chains were slapped upon her wrists in front of her as the guards led her into the halls. They were taking her outside, to one of her least favorite spots in Francis' palace. At least she was going to get sun again, that was one thing she was thankful for.
Before her predicament, Meggy disliked anime. And now, she dreaded anime even more. She could barely think of her old species anymore, after seeing Francis with Squid Girl, and after seeing those anime tentacles for herself.
Oh, cod. Oh, cod. Oh, cod.
Meggy spaced out for a time, trying to find a happy place in her mind, but the torment was getting to her. How many more years did she have to endure this torment, and did she have to endure this when her twentieth birthday rolled around?
Every birthday after the battle was mostly a nightmare, and Meggy remembered those anime birthday parties Francis often put together for certain anime girls.
As she blinked, she caught sight of another orange haired girl who was prisoner on the island just as Meggy was, and the former Inkling knew her from the One Piece clips that Boopkins had shown Meggy at one point;
Nami, the Strawhat Pirate navigator, sporting a revealing purple dress from Zou, and she looked just as distraught over the situation as the Inkling-turned human was after she'd been brought to the island.
Fresh air was sweeping into Meggy's nostrils as she was led into the garden-like sanctuary, full of trees and exotic flowers. But this place was far from paradise just as Anime Island was, and Meggy had been here so many times, she knew where this was about to go. And Francis would be here pretty soon.
"Hey, Meggy."
Saiko stood by a palm tree, wearing the Slave Leia bikini and skirt that she'd worn since the very day she'd become Francis' waifu queen. The Boos departed, and Saiko stepped towards the orange-haired slave before hugging her in a comforting manner.
"S-Saiko..." Meggy sobbed, her voice hoarse from years of crying and Francis-inflicted freakouts.
"Shh, shh, shh." Saiko said soothingly, "I know how much you don't like it just as the other girls like it, but there is nothing else we can do at the moment. I'll give you some ramen tonight, if it makes you feel better. Just bear with it, and it'll be all over. Just pretend you're in a Turf War arena, and you'll get through it."
"Easy for you to say..." Meggy croaked.
"I'm still your friend, Meggy." Saiko assured.
"Smol waifu!" Mewtoo shouted.
Meggy stepped away from Mewtoo, and she was led into a booth as a Boo unlocked her cuffs. This was where they had her remove her sweat-stained dress, don a new outfit for the... special event, and then put on a new dress like her old one before the other dress was cleaned.
Meggy felt a Koopa shove her inside, and she groaned briefly, then she began to remove her dress. The former Inkling stepped out after several seconds, wearing orange stockings, a black bra, a green neck collar, and a gray G-string, which allowed a Chargin' Chuck to smack the squid-turned human girl upon her butt cheeks in a flirty manner.
Nami exited an opposite booth, wearing a green, half-white bra, high heels, a garter, and a thong. Meggy and Nami looked at one other with dread in their eyes, all partially allies in a grim situation that had lasted for years.
A Koopa told her to move to the central spot in the area, and Meggy, with cuffs around her wrists, obeyed. She stepped forward, then she turned for another hug from Saiko, ready to face what was going to happen. And she was imagining Desti, in an event where she was still alive, going through something just like it.
The girls shared one last hug. Then, with tears rolling down her face, Meggy stepped into the small arena with Nami, and they knelt upon the ground, helpless. Moments later, Francis stepped forward, wearing a uniform that made him look like a dominatrix.
"Excellent, EXCELLENT!" Francis cried, holding up the Inkweaver excitedly. Meggy noticed Shizuka Marikawa, Rias Gremory, and Boa Hancock accompanying the chameleon, sporting very skimpy attire, just as Saiko was wearing attire. Even a replica of Nami was accompanying him.
'Get this done with. Please get this done with.'
Francis approached, and Meggy was the first. His tongue emerged, and he began to lick her face, then it went down into her cleavage, making Meggy feal pleasure and she stifled a gasp. Seconds later, Francis was close to her, and he lifted her up.
This was it. He reeled Meggy in closer, and kissed her on the lips. She wanted to scream, she wanted to beg for help, but her pleas would do nothing in this moment. She gulped the second she felt Francis smacking her butt, and the kiss lasted for another moment until she found herself dropping to her knees again as Francis licked her face.
It was Nami's turn next.
Francis tapped his Inkweaver, and Octarian tentacles appeared, grabbed the navigator and lifted her up before the chameleon kissed her up just as he'd kissed Meggy. And she could tell how excited that creep was.
Two Koopas came forward, and slapped a gag around the beanie girl's mouth. Meggy lay down, helpless on her back, and a pair of burly anime-looking men stepped forward with crossed arms as they stared at her.
Francis finished slobbering and kissing Nami, the tentacles put her down, then their summoner slapped a gag upon her mouth as well, and his minions surrounded her. Meggy turned to face Nami, and flashed her a look of uncertain assurance.
'We'll be okay.' She told her quietly.
"And now, THE TENTACLES!" Francis squealed with laughter, as he lifted the Inkweaver high. Meggy could see the remorse on Saiko's face, which faded when the waifu turned to her anime king and began to kiss him. That was when Octarians made their appearance, and advanced on Meggy and Nami before their tentacles surrounded them in a tight manner.
This was it. Meggy found herself being lifted off the ground by a tentacle, and watched as Nami went through the same thing. She screamed and gasped as tentacles emerged from the ground. Meggy closed her eyes, hearing the sound of fabric shifting, followed by a moan from Nami as Francis laughed before the tentacles let Meggy have it...
Dreadful. Nerve-wracking as well.
In the moment the Boos led her to her sub-level prison, after she'd put on the dress, Meggy was glad the latest episode of Torment By Tentacles was over. She felt sick, almost on the brink of going to pieces, but she kept her nausea down for the sake of her remaining friends.
After returning to her cell, Meggy was chained to the wall again, and was left alone to process the torturous pleasure she'd experienced.
And she could barely imagine Francis making an online anime based out of what was happening on the island. Oh, no. It wasn't anime if it was on those adult websites, it was more than that.
'Just how could it get worse?' Meggy thought.
Hours passed, and the beanie girl stood alone in the shadows. She lifted her head when the door opened, and Saiko entered the room with a bowl of ramen. Meggy's heartbeat slowed, and a smile folded on her face. Thank goodness she got to eat ramen tonight, and Saiko knew how to cook.
"Told you that I'd give you some ramen tonight." Anime Queen Saiko said with a wink, "I always keep my promises... unlike a certain someone we know."
She unlocked Meggy's chains, and the girls sat down on the floor together. Meggy dove into her ramen, eating an ounce of it, and shared her meal with Saiko. They ate together for a while, feeling a slight sense of relief after another day of torment on the island.
"How are you feeling?" Saiko asked when Meggy finished her meal.
"A little bit better. Thanks, your highness." The former Inkling replied in a half-cheerful voice.
Her stomach rumbled a little, and Meggy stood before Saiko chained her up again. The attractive waifu hugged the tormented ex-squid one more time, then she left the cell, and Meggy smiled with a semblance of hope before she recalled her situation. She lowered her head once more, mentally preparing herself for what Francis had in store for her tomorrow.
Summer on this island was not going to be all fun and games, but at least there were traces of paradise whenever those traces were to appear...
