Bright Hues (Splatoon Fanfic)

Chapter 3: Sharks & Eels & Mantas, oh my!

Saturday, 7:01 PM, Outer Splatlands Desert

The sun was nearly setting on the horizon, the many shades of red slowly following as the many of blue slowly take over the sky, as Lesh's silhouette grows darker with the passing hour, still skid across the desert on his rollerblades which were surprisingly holding well against the coarse sands. Bobbing his head up and down to his tunes, his mind adrift with his imagination running wild, everywhere he looked he can see his ideas painted all over the desert, even seeing himself spray painting his biggest tag on the sun. He had the artists vision, the eye to always paint something with your mind, the ideas that flow through the mind like a river, if only he could sketch them down at the very moment so he wouldn't forget them. Alas, he was finally reaching his destination, along with his tailing company that kept their distance who still have the element of surprise.

Figure 1, covering half her face with her fan to help keep the dust from scraping it, her eyes narrowed as she kept a sharp stare on Lesh: "I must say, he does have some impeccable speed on the sand, he could be a slippery eel if we're not careful."

Figure 2, peaking her head around the shoulder from behind her accomplice, peeking up at the word eel with her usual energetic voice: "You want me to bring the eels out already? Seems overkill but I'm not arguing!"

Figure 1, closing her fan just to slap it on the top of her big headed accomplice with a chuckle to her voice: "No no, we wouldn't wanna risk hurting our meal ticket now, would we? Besides, that's only if he puts up a fight."

Figure 3, having to wrap his fins in on himself to thin his wide stature to help prevent himself from flying away: "Ay!" (Be sure to always make a gentle approach!)

The other two nodded to him in response only to trade conniving snickers between one another as they had other intentions in mind. There it was now in view, Hermit Claw Cliff, a piece of land protruding out in the middle of the desert that had a strange curve to it on the touch wall side of it, what gives it its claw name is the strangely place large trench below it that gives it its claw like appearance at a certain angle. Lesh went straight into the trench as he slid down, reaching the bottom as it was filled with strange relics of the time before the great turf war occurred, relics from the ancient species before inklings and octolings. Of course, it be a surprise if any of these giant relics of the age before  weren't covered by Lesh's graffiti, more so his practice art. Every time Lesh would get a new set of paint for his spray cans, he would always be sure to test it with certain sketches he has in mind, he always prefer that certain colors are suitable for a certain idea, now with this week's supply being neon colors, best see which art is perfect for bright hues like that.

The three figures having to leave Master Mega a small walk back from the trench, as they peered into the steep drop down, the elegant figure having to have an impressed smile on her face, seeing how much graffiti is displayed on over the relics, but mainly how much of a lotting ground it is. The more energetic figure had stars in her eyes, it's like seeing a playground you wanna play on so badly, so many cool toys left by the other kids that are there for grabs. The bigger figure however was sweating bullets just at the sight of it, feeling dread settling in as he just realized who they were just tailing behind, he had to think fast on what to do, to get his fellow bandit buddies to turn tail and leave, so he decided to try and take a dive.

Figure 3, putting a fin on his head as he hunched over a bit, putting on a half assed performance of being faint as he even sported an out of breath voice: "Hoh... boy am I feeling dizzy! I think we should call it here, fellas, hate for ya to drag me back to the city."

Figure 1, all she did was give him an unamused stare, as if already somehow caught on to his act, even pointing her fan at him as she spoke with dominance: "Oh don't try to back out now, besides, you seemed confident earlier before we got here... are you hiding something from us, Big Man?"
