                                                            ~~Splatoon 3 story mode spoilers~~

Vian stood, completely shocked, the actual members of DEEP CUT just raided them! Wait... the actual members of deep cut just RAIDED THEM!!!!!!! Ugh, today is already the worst. The group of heros stood in awed silence for a second. The puffs of their breath hanging in the artificially cool air. Gleam ran toward the viewing post nearest to her, then took off after Frye. "Where are you going?!" Kelpi yelled, running after her. Harber and Gadget ran off after Shiver. Vian listened as his friends foodsteps crunched into nothingness. Vian and Donnie Decided they ought to go after Big Man, anger clouding Vian's brain.

Gleam: 

Gleam reached the area where Frye had ran off to,  Kelpi trailing behind her aimlessly. She bent to examine the large kettle Frye had vanished into, meticulously removing the cover. She and Kelpi slipped through the grate, Being sucked into the cavernous chamber below. Gleam and Kelpi landed on their feet with a thud. all around them was a circular stage ringed by a pool of yellow ink. in the center of this stage sat a large metal box, Frye sat atop it, smirking. "You came to steal the treasure back didn't you? Well you cant have it!" Frye leapt upwards and began to blow her flute violently, then as if by magic, a cloud of eels appeared and began to spin the block like a top on one of it's corners. The cube advanced, barreling toward the girls with such force that the eels began to fly off, out of the cube's tight orbit. The eels flew toward the heroes, kelpi and gleam shot them down, and the eels reversed and blasted back towards Frye! She lost her balance on the cube, and the cube span to a stop. Frye stumbled on her cube, discombobulated and dizzy. Gleam climbed atop and splatted her. Gleam and Kelpi vacated the cube as it began to spin again aided by the efforts of the eels. Frye re-spawned on top of the cube, and the eels shot towards the girls again, only to be parried. The cube spun to a stop once more, then the girls vanquished Frye again. They then repeated the process once more and when they climbed the cube, Frye had recovered and pleaded mercy, the girls granted it and Frye smirked, 'YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVEEEEEE!!" and threw down a pellet, disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Gleam sighed, and Kelpi giggled. The two girls watched as the first piece of the Mega razor emerged from the floor, as they hauled it back to camp, Kelpi hummed the spicy calamari inkantation the whole way.

Harber:

The Octoling duo reached the site that Shiver had run off to. Gadget and Harber looked up at the immense pillars around them, aghast. The two scaled the pillars, Arriving at the kettle atop it. They pried the lid open and slipped inside, landing on a small platform ringed by deep blue ink. Harber and Gadget watched as shiver rose from the pool, riding atop a massive shark. She Swam around the heroes, occasionally blasting ink at them. The heroes began to shoot back and soon discovered they could knock Shiver off of the shark. After this realization, It was all but over for Shiver. The heroes fought with such vigor that she was forced to surrender. She threw down a pellet and disappeared in a cloud of smog.  A large motor rose from the floor, and shimmered as the Octopi approached it. They snagged it and ran back to camp, glancing over their shoulders all the way back.

Vian:

Donnie arrived at the tower that Big Man had scampered up mere moments ago, Breathless but fine. Vian trailed behind, gasping and sobbing. When he noticed the tower looming before them, he collapsed on the ground. His body racked by his heaving breath. "Stop being so dramatic," Donnie said, much to the dismay of his lover, "You were an Elite Octoling for Cod's sake!" Vian grimaced, "I really shouldn't have told you about that, you could be in danger!" Donnie responded with a hearty laugh, "Oh, please. You just wish you hadn't told me so that I wouldn't have used it to make you do the chores." "That too." Vian giggled, Only Donnie could calm him like that.  The two began the arduous climb of the tower. When they finally reached the top, they pulled themselves over the edge, Gasping for breath in the paper thin air. "Are we there yet?" choked Vian playfully. "Almost," Donnie gasped, stumbling toward the Kettle, "We just gotta open this!" He threw the lid off the kettle and the boys slipped down into darkness. They landed on a bamboo mat floor, in the middle of a dark void, a single red lantern illuminating the large space, Big Man sat with his back to them, but dramatically whipped about to face them. He twiddled his fins and dove into the ground, transforming into a spectral manta ray, Gliding effortlessly through the ground, leaving a trail of green ink in his wake. The heroes Doged his charge and shot at the outline. It split into three smaller pieces, and they shot them down as well. Big Man popped out of the third and wobbled on his hind fins, He held is wing like fins high in surrender. The manta then dissapeared in a ball of smoke, The final piece of the razor rising from the ground. The boys hefted it and fell back to camp, screaming as they did.
