Splat Saga Season 1: Beginnings

Episode 0: Manifestation

Riiiiiiiiiiiing!

"I'll see ya later." Tony waved at friend before walking out of school. Heaving a sigh, he put his earbuds on walking out of school grounds. "What a rough day... failed my english test and my chemistry."

-

Walking into the corner store, Tony trailed his eyes around the fridge section looking for a monster can. He finally got his favorite flavor before paying and walking out cracking it open and taking a smooth sip. Cars drove by, the wind a slight breeze giving the summer heat a little chill to the touch. After walking a mile to his house Tony throw the can way.

"Hey."

Tony was startled before looking at a narrow alleyway as he stepped in. "Hellooo? Did anyone call me?" Tony walked deeper into the alleyway. Something felt off. No, something IS off. Stepping into a small puddle he looked down as he mumbled. "My shoes-" until a octoling like figure can be seen from the dim reflection off the puddle.

"Shit." Tony yelped before booking it out, but it was too late the octoling stood in front of him, it seemed to be she, and for her age she must've went to high school. She ran into her pockets as she had a knife out. "The life of yours ends here boy." She said in a dark tone before going for a slash.

Tony dropped his stuff as he ducked sweeping her off her stance with a kick. She was managed to dodge  slashing her knife. Tony dodged quickly but there was a minor cut on his cheek. "So you know how to fight as wel-"

The octoling threw her knife, but just in time Tony dodged but with fast reflexes he grabbed the knife but the handle, then twirling and throwing it back full speed towards her. Her reaction was surprised before turning the knife stabbing her shoulder.

"Stupid brat." She sounded pissed as she took the knife out throwing it to the side. "You're something else are you?" She immediately was towards Tony throwing hard punches.

Tony deflected the punches guarding his face from getting pummeled. Attempting to kick his stomach, Tony managed to grab her leg swinging her hitting the side of the wall. Before grabbing her face and slamming her harder at the wall.

But it seemed to not affect her as she found an opening and grabbed for Tony's neck. "Enough is enough. Your play time is over." The octoling squeezed harder trying to suffocate Tony.

"I couldn't breathe." Tony said to himself, it might his final breath he will ever breathe. He's already met so much amazing people and he hadn't even got to come home to see his sister. "This is it." He closed his eyes. But this burning rage inside if me...

"But I refuse to kneel nor fall under you octoling."

The voice. The voice that echoed across the alleyway made the octoling drop Tony as fast as possible as it seemed to be she was shocked. Tony was looking down before he laughed running his hands through his hair looking at the octoling with a death stare.

His eyes, his smile, his whole aura changed. His eyes were red full of bloodlust. A smiling grin as if he wanted to murder the living shit out of someone. This was a manifestation.

"Y-You monster!" She shrieked as she attempted to escape. But she was already stopped as Tony was in front of her. A smile still on his face. "Don't think you can get away." The smile fading. "How many innocents did you kill, alongside threatened. You will pay all of your murders, your crimes, and your shitty deeds here." The octoling was in shocked as she tried to make out her words but she couldn't his presence was as if she was talking to a demon.

"No need for your shitty reasons." Tony walked over as in a split second he punched through her stomach. The octoling gasped before she was on her knees the life in her eyes were draining out. "And so you kneel. Know your place foolish scum." Tony pulled out as the body dropped dead.

"Good kill man. But that... what even are you buddy?" A man spoke as Tony turned behind him. A man dressed as some assassin, he slipped of his hood as he stood there looking at him. His hair was tied in a bun, yellow hair, with a samurai sword on the side his waist. The slight breeze blew as his coat revealed a name tag on his shirt.

Agent Hollow

"An agent." Tony said as his eyes strangely turned back to black before looking at the agent. "That's right." He said as he pointed at Tony. "You seem to have potential as a agent to be honest. But it's been boring these rookies only aim to get higher so they can boast about there status." He rubbed his forehead before smiling back at Tony. "Let's have a friendly fight. If you can win. I might think about adding you into the Agent Code under my wing.

"Agent Code...?" Tony asked but Hollow was already in front of him his fist inching near his face.
