My Splatoon OCs - Oneshots (Inkopolis Chaos)

The Life of an Inktoling

Takes Place: Varies.

Main Characters: Atubah, Scarlet, Aria. 

Inklings, Octolings. What if I told you that, despite the tensions at the time, there was an inkling and an octoling who managed to get together, and have a child? That is called an Inktoling, a hybrid between an inkling and an octoling. They are currently extremely rare. We are going to focus on the benefits and struggles of being such a rare species. This inktoling girl's name is Atubah Fragmenta. This is the life of an inktoling.

During Elementary School, at lunchtime...

Atubah was standing around by herself as usual, while all the inklings were playing with each over. At the time, octolings on the surface were like finding six leafed clovers, and the two races were still mostly enemies, and due to her being 60% octoling, almost all the other kids found her weird. 

Atubah: *thinks: "Why doesn't anyone want to play with me?", while sitting down*

A few minutes later, a bully walk up to Atubah.

Nick: Hey inktoling freak!

Atubah: *tenses up in fear*

Nick: *begins to corner her* What are you doing on my bench?

Atubah: I-I was j-just s-sitting on this b-bench, because I h-had nowhere e-else to go...

Nick: ITS MY BENCH! *pushes atubah off the bench*

Atubah: AHH! *falls off the bench and hurts herself badly, getting a cut on her head*

Nick: *laughs* Don't you ever forget what you are! A freak! Now scam!

Atubah: *runs away, crying while covering the wound on her head*

That was what she often dealt with in primary school... It got so bad, that her parents moved her to a completely different middle school, so she wouldn't be with the same people. However, that quickly backfired... She became determined to befriend people in middle school, and well...

Atubah: *walks up to a random inkling* Hi! My name... is Atubah Fragmenta! Can... we be friends? *smiles*

Inkling: Hmm- *looks at her and shrieks* AH! Monster! *runs away*

Atubah: *looks down* I... Why can't I just be normal? *looks at her watch* History class! Oh god! *runs to her class*

The class was history. They were learning about the great turf war. During the entire time, almost everyone was staring at Atubah. Gossip spread like wildfire. It ended up getting really bad, that Atubah couldn't handle the half of her that was being bashed, and her mother, who was a full octoling, being portrayed as a villain. Atubah ended up burying her face in her desk, and began crying... IN CLASS. Surrounded by MIDDLE SCHOOLERS... Before anything hit the fan, the teacher got involved.

Teacher: *walks over to atubah* Hey... If you want to leave, it's alright. I understand this is hard for you.

Atubah: Thank you... *leaves the classroom, sits on the floor and begins to curl into a ball, sobbing*

Atubah stayed outside of the classroom for 5 minutes, until something was heard from next door's classroom. The door swings open as Scarlet storms out the room.

Teacher: AND COME BACK IN WHEN YOU LEARN TO BEHAVE!

Cyalux: *yells out to scarlet* HA! I HAVE THE POWER OF PLOT ARMOUR! GET WRECKED!

Teacher: Cyalux if you don't behave I'll send YOU out as well! *shuts the door*

Scarlet: *middle fingers the door, then turns around and groans* Stupid teacher! He's meant to punish the victim, that's how schools work- *looks in front of her, seeing the inktoling she heard gossip about* So, the rumours are true...
