*Hurricane Clan*

Inkling boy:  Kill them!!

Octoling girl: end their lives!!

Inkling girl: especially that damn little rodent!!

A crowd roared within the middle of the Hurricane clan empire, standing in front of a large stage that showed an Octoling girl, on her knees and tied up, unable to act. The girl's name was Lola, a member of the now deceased Namako Clan, and beside the young Octoling was a woman, who was tied up, hanging her head low in shame.

The woman was known as Mia, the mother of Lola. She had long yellow tentacles and was known as the former Core of Namako Clan, a strong clan that was mainly known for their extensive limbs and swift, yet sharp movements.

Lola: get off of Lola! Lola is hungry!!!!

Mia: Lola......

Lola looked over at her mother, seeing her look towards her with no sign of happiness, but not disappointment, rather, sadness and sorrow....seeing purple ink creep up her face and begin to infect her slowly....

Mia: it's alright........you'll get plenty of food...........once this is over........

Lola couldn't help but stare at her mother and feel her eyes water up slightly. From behind her, she heard the steps and felt the strong Sumi flow of an Inkling boy. His hair was long and was dark red like blood, his eyes gave off a sapphire shade of blue.

The boy was known as Gale, the core of the Hurricane Clan, looking out to his crowd of people who cheered for the two Namako Clan members to be executed. He let out a tiny smile, and simply raised his hand slightly, allowing his single sided axe to summon within his palm.

Gale: a simple price you must pay for stealing from my clan.....

Gale walked over to Mia, kneeling down and grabbing her tentacles, forcing her to look up at him, staring into her eyes.

Gale: I spare your lives in exchange for your loyalty......and what do you do?....go behind my back.........

Mia:..........

Gale: I must say....I'm disappointed...you Namako members were known for being very loyal and supportive companions......

Mia: to the likes of people who treat us with respect.......

Gale:......Respect?......

Gale let go of Mia's hair, then without any warning, kicked the woman straight in her face with his boot, knocking out one of her teeth and making her grunt in pain.

Lola: MAMA!!

Gale: clans have to EARN respect from each other.........and considering the circumstances........I dominate over you in power.......Do you believe I'd go out of my way to earn your respect? To someone as low as dirt?.....

Gale lifted his boot, then stomped on Mia's head, forcing her head down onto the ground, holding his axe over his shoulder as he heard the woman struggle to lift herself.

Gale: the only respect you earned from me is to lick the dirt off my boot.....you should consider that as a blessing.....

Gale saw his words dig deep into Mia's heart, watching her face slowly fade into a state of acceptance. He looked over at his people once again, hearing their cheers, and seeing their faces of ruthless savagery. He took his boot off of Mia's head, then slowly raised his axe, ready to decapitate the woman, and he looked over at Lola, seeing tears roll down her eyes.

Gale: do you have something to say?......

He stared at Lola, not noticing a single motion from the girl's body.....he let out a little "hmph" in the process, and gripped his axe, after seeing Lola's silent state, he reverted his attention straight at Mia's neck once more.
