Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 50: It's All Over

*present day*
*entrance exams*

Yuka:.......(.........I remember........)

Yuka's eyes slowly opened.........she laid on the floor of the Tower with many cephalopods as well, ever since the second phase of Tower Takeover started.......she looked at the clouds from above...........

Yuka:.......(.......whenever I open my eyes..........a new chapter begins for me........)

Yuka looked away and struggled, but managed to flip her body around and grunt in pain, pushing herself and standing up from the ground......

The second she stood.......she could already feel a rush of guilt overflow in her body..........she looked around.......and saw every single cephalopod standing very far away from her due to her past violent actions.....

She looked up at a giant screen that was monitoring Tower Takeover.......seeing the many unconscious and bruised cephalopods within the tower still..........and the camera quickly shifted over to Yumi and Mellow sliding down the large tower.......Yuka looked down at her hands......getting a severe headache of a flashback.....the very first time she looked at her bloody hands in front of her younger sister.......

Yuka:..........(what have I..........done?)

Yuka heard the constant mumbling from the cephalopods.......she shifted her eyes over towards the 2 true inklings that pushed themselves to their absolute limit........Miles and Amira........

Yuka:........(.......I'm sorry, mother.......)

She saw Miles on his knees as his breaths got slower and slower by the minute..........his eyes were slightly fading from their amazing amethyst color..........Amira hugged him with comfort............showing her scarred eye.....corroded with minus........and even though it didn't seem to be hurting her at the moment......she could tell that Amira held in her pain.....and only focused on Miles........

Yuka:.........(.........I never took what you told me into consideration.........I hate myself...............by the time I realized your meaning........it was already too late for me..........I was turned into a brain dead killing machine........)

She felt her eyes slightly water up.........and just then, her eyepatch slipped off of her face........revealing her destroyed eye..........dripping with minus.

Yuka:..........(I couldn't keep my promise to you.............I couldn't keep my promise to Max............I couldn't keep my promise to..........Yumi.......)

Her arm and eye leaked with more minus, which made Yuka shed a single tear........

Yuka:...(.....despite my regeneration.......she somehow managed to harm me.......she stabbed a syringe into my eye...injecting me then and there with minus....more and more...............she erased my real memories.........and twisted my mind into her liking......Angelica......)

She paused as she took a deep breath.....feeling her body shake uncontrollably......she shook her head at herself..........

Yuka:......(....I didn't feel it........I didn't gain anything..........I only got weaker and weaker over time..........which explains why............I felt outclassed by them........those two.......)

Yuka saw Miles hold his stomach with his hands, but his fingers began to loosen, signaling that death was approaching.........for a slight moment.....Yuka saw herself and Yumi within the two Inklings........she turned her body and began to walk towards the two........with pure silence and allowing the minus to sizzle off her body as she did so.....

Yuka: (...........I lost my purpose.......I was hunting down, and trying to kill the one person that I was sworn to protect......)

She felt the eyes of many all around her......when she got close enough to Miles, she crouched down and extended her hand out to him right as Amira immediately stopped her by grabbing her wrist.....making the octoling look at her.
