Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 34: Jealousy

Within the deepsea metro, a group of 4 cephalopods were walking around and looking at the rundown area. An Inkling boy smirked and pulled out his phone, then started taking pictures around him while the Octoling girl next to him was twiddling her fingers, nervous and scared for her life.

Octoling girl: g-guys.....are you sure that this is safe?

Inkling boy: *click* yup. Plus, this place isn't even that scary.

Inkling girl: I'm kinda getting some spooks, it feels as if souls of dead creatures are crawling on me.

Octoling boy: yeah...also didn't a group get killed down here a little while ago?

Inkling boy: awe c'mon, stop being such a wimp.

Octoling boy: I-I'm not....I'm just.....a little creeped out. There's a difference.

The four of them walked down a tunnel of train tracks through the silence. The only thing that was heard was the sound of little water droplets falling from the tunnel roof and onto the rails.

The four walked out of the tunnel and saw a subway station in front of them. The Inkling boy climbed up from the tracks and began looking around a bit more, amazed from the scenery.

Inkling boy: woah...this place looks so cool and ancient.

Octoling boy: if you say so.

The Inkling boy started a video on his phone, then held it up in the air, smiling at the camera and wrapping his arm around the Inkling girl.

Inkling boy: this is amazing, don't you think?

Inkling girl:...I guess...

Inkling boy: uuugh! don't tell me you're scared too.

Inkling girl: I'm not! It's just....we are traveling a bit too low down here.

Octoling boy: yeah, would if we get lost and don't know how to find our way back up?

Inkling boy: *smirks* I memorized our path, we'll be alright.

The Inkling boy walked with his group until he saw something on the ground in the distance. The Inkling boy tilted his head, but continued to walk forward as his friends walked behind him.

Inkling boy: woah....

Inkling girl: oh my cod.....is that a dead body?

Octoling girl: y-yeah ok, I think it's time we head back....

Inkling boy: hold on now...

The Inkling boy kneeled down to the body, seeing that it was a dead Octarian soldier. Her throat was slit multiple times as if it was from Octoling claws. The Inkling boy pulled out his phone then took a selfie with the dead body as all of his friends stared at him, annoyed.

Octoling boy: dude, seriously?!

Inkling girl: now's not the time to take selfies! We need to get out of here!

Inkling boy: *chuckles* c'mon guys, you're way too paranoid, things down here die all the time.

???: Indeed....he is correct....

The Inkling boy's heart dropped, hearing footsteps in the distance slowly approach him. The Inkling turned around and saw an Octoling girl with Cyan tentacles and tan skin across from him.

The Octoling girl had bandages covering her right eye....but her left eye was pure red.... glaring straight into the boy's soul. The Inkling boy stumbled back a little... seeing the Octoling's left hand holding onto a splash-o-matic while her right hand looked as if it was infected and corrupted with....a weird type of Ink.
