Their Side Or Mine? (Splatoon Fanfic)

Chapter 10 Ranked Buttkicking

The next morning I woke up. I hardly remembered anything from last night I only remembered the last Turf War... LEVEL 10!! I REACHED LEVEL 10! I hopped up from my bed and did a short dance on my bed. My phone rang. I fell back down and rolled over to my counter and picked it up. "Halloooo?" I answered. "Hey, Aurelia." I immediately recognized this voice as Max. "Hi Max." I said. "Well um, Star and I are here.. So we're waiting on you and Scamander." "OH! Crap. Sorry! I..I'll get going. Meet you guys there, love you bye!" "O...oh.." "AGH SORRY I MEANT BYE! I'm so used to saying bye to my parents! Okay, meet you guys there!" I dropped my phone and rushed into my closet. I grabbed my pink sweatshirt this time, my headphones and my black boots. I slid on the boots quickly and threw off my top. In a hurry I tucked my phone in my pocket and rushed out the door still putting on my sweatshirt and carrying my headphones. The train stopped just in time and I rushed on as soon as I could. I adjusted my headphones and straightened out my sweatshirt. And smiled.

I hopped off the train and rushed through the gate. "I'm here I'm here!" I said bursting through the gate. Instead of getting meaner looks in the plaza people actually recognized me. "Hey! You're that roller girl!" An inkling boy said running up to me with his friends. He seemed new-ish.. No offense. "WE LOVE YOU! You're so cool! And you're only a level 10!?" He exclaimed. I blushed a little. "I..I guess.. I don't really matter much though..-" "Of course you do! You matter to us at least!" Another one said. "Aww thank you.. But I really should get going!" I said smiling and waving. They fanboyed a little more as I left. "You sure are famous!" Max said nudging me. "No I'm not!" I said defensively and playfully punching his arm. "Are you sure?" He said pointing to the big screen.

"And the story you've been waiting for!" "The roller taking Turf Wars by storm!" "Thats right folks! This girl came in to Turf Wars with real talent!" Callie said. "I wonder where she is now!?" Marie said. "You're right Marie! We don't even know the new fresh squid around's name!" Callie said. "All those fangirls and fanboys out there, you'd better hope she's on your team or you're splatted!" Marie said. "That's all!" Callie said. "STAY FRESH!" Marie said. The news story ended and  a group of squid kids gathered and fangirled/boyed over me. "Let's just get in the lobby and wait for Scamander." I said. "Why?! You're famous!" Star said pointing to the group of fansquids. "I'd rather not. I came to Turf Wars to feel free and finally embrace my killer instinct and unleash what it always felt like when there was an ink gun in my hand." I said. "Deep." Max said. "Then let's go." "Okay." Star said. We all moved towards the lobby as quickly and unnoticeable as possible. We sat inside and sank down to the floor and relaxed. "That was pretty hard." Star said. "Yeah no kidding.." Max said. My phone buzzed. I took it out.

'Hey where are you guys?'

'In the lobby hiding from fans'

'Fans of what?'

'Me...'

'You're joking.'

'No.'

'You're the roller whose "taking the Turf Wars by storm?!'

'Yeah I couldn't believe it either, YA COMIN OR NOT?'

'Yeah, I'm coming jeez.'

'Try to go unnoticed please.'

'Gotcha.'

I put my phone away. The lobby doors opened but not to Scamander but to someone else. There was a girl with red eyes, long bright blue hair and an urchins cap. "Uh.. I think you're supposed to go into battles.." She said. I put a hand over my mouth. "Shhh..." I whispered. "Well I want in on this little party." She said sitting down next to us. "I'm Estelle. Level 14." She said. "I'm Star, level 18." "Max Cooper..... Level 8..." She stared at me expectantly. "Oh....." I said. "What about you?" She asked pointing towards me."... Aurelia.. Level 10." I said. She smiled. "Nice to meet you all." I smiled and waved back. The lobby doors opened again and Scamander came in. "Ready to go now?" He said. "Yup." He helped me up and we tapped squad. "Hey I can't tap it..." Max said. "Oh... Max.. It's Ranked Battles." I said. "Oh... I'll just go into turf wars until I level up. Stay safe, good luck." He said squeezing my arm a little. "Good luck too." I said booping his nose. His face turned red and he selected turf war. "Estelle why don't you join us?" Star said. "Okay. Thanks." She said. We chose it and teamed up. We were matched against a solid B- team all level 17. Our team was two C-'s a B and a B-. I could tell we could still win. The map was Arowana mall and the game had just begun. I gripped the handle of my roller. I sprang forward ahead of our squad. I went straight down the middle ready for the fight. I quickly ran to the edge of the platform and turned into a squid and waited to ambush any enemies. Someone with a gun hopped up and tried to cover the area. I quickly hopped up and swung the roller down. Star and Scamander shot down most of them and Estelle and I slowly pushed forward getting rid of the ones they missed. They all got into formation and Star and Scamander had to find a new area since we had gotten too far from them. "Aurelia! All of them are coming!" Estelle said worriedly. "We've succeeded so far. We aren't losing now." I said. "I'll be a decoy, you take them out." I said. She nodded nervously and I sped off the other way. They split up and surrounded me. Thinking fast I threw as much ink as I could before they closed in. I used the ink trails I had made and took out one and damaged one with a few burst bombs before I got splatted. Estelle took out the damaged one and Star had found a position and picked off the last one. Our control time went lower and lower.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0... GAME!

I had won my very first Ranked Battle and a pretty good one at that. The score was a knockout and they never took control of the area. We smiled and gathered together. "Nice strategy Aurelia, I never would of sacrificed myself.. You sure are brave. I hate getting splatted." Star said. "I don't know.. I just change when I'm in battle.. I feel responsible for everyone on my team and I will try to protect them as much as I can.. Even if it means I'm the price." I said. "Deep." Estelle said. I smiled. "Yeah I guess it is." And alert soldiers up in front of all of us.

'Breaking News! Watch Callie and Marie in the Studio.'

We pressed ok and teleported to the center automatically. "Marie! We just got a super fresh video from a fan!" "Ooh! Callie! What is it, What is it?!" Marie said jumping around. "It's a video of the Ravishing Roller!" Callie said. A bunch of squid kids squealed. 'Ravishing roller? Wait.. It's me...' I thought. The video was of us just in the last battle. It's was obviously from inside one of the windows on the walls. It showed me running over and covering ink. It showed me and Estelle and focused on my moves. I went running across and throwing ink. "Wow look at her Marie! She's amazing for a level 10!" Callie said smiling. "And her first one at that!" Marie said. "And her face! It's the first time anyone's ever seen it!" Callie said. "Her eyes are making me jealous! They're so nice!" Marie said crossing her arms. I smiled a little. The video rolled more. "Whoa! A whole team!?" Marie said shocked. "How is she gonna deal with those?" Callie said staring intently at the video. My roller twisted in my palm and whacked one of them headfirst into the ink, splatting them. "Oh no Callie! She's taking some serious damage. How's this gonna end?" Marie said looking a bit concerned. "I don't know Marie." Callie said covering her mouth. I watched as three of them hit me at the same time. People gasped when they saw me get splatted. "Oh no!" Marie gasped. "What a girl.. Fighting an entire team! I don't have the guts for that!" Callie said. "My guts were splatted LOOONG ago, and it's only been 2 years since we played Turf Wars." Marie said. "Well that's all!" Callie said. "STAY FRESH!" Marie finished.

Estelle, Star and Scamander all smirked at me.
"Ravishing roller!" They said all at the same time. I smiled back. "No matter if I'm the 'Ravishing Roller' we're always the squid squad." I said smiling. We all laughed and he a big group hug.
