{ Splatoon } My Colorful Life

This can't be happening...

Yep, that's a drawing of Kasai. I hope you like the drawing, and enjoy the chapter!

{Felix's POV}
"Try and get past me!" I instructed. After practice, I decided to play Kasai one-on-one. "HEY LOOK!" She shouted while pointing to the side. "THERE'S A REALLY WEIRD BIRD!" I looked to the side. "There's no weird bird..." Kasai ran past me and shot the basketball. She missed horribly, and the ball went rolling to the back of the school. "Dangit! I missed." She shouted. I yelled back, "THAT WAS CHEATING!" Kasai stuck her tongue out at me. "Sorry. Can't I have a little fun?" I rolled my eyes. "I'll go get the ball..." I ran behind the school. It was behind the school that I saw something that would scar me for life.

I saw a mangled, broken, nearly-dead inkling lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I could faintly see the girl's lavender tentacles. Her eyes were still open, and her eyelids were twitching. Kasai ran over to me and said, "What's taking you so loooOHMYGOSH!" The blood-covered inkling said something in raspy breaths.
"I didn't... Mean.... It..."
Her eyes turned lifeless, her face was pale, and blood leaked out of her mouth. My usually tan face turned a sickening green. Kasai mouthed out words, but was unable to say them. She finally said, "Ha... Hayley?"
That's all I could remember before I blacked out.

"...lix. Felix!"
I slowly opened up my eyes to see Kasai's smiling face. "Thank goodness you're awake. You're in the nurse's office. You blacked out back when you saw..." My face fell. "So... Hayley's really dead?" I asked. Kasai nodded. "I dunno how she died. But seeing how broken she was, I think that she may have fallen from the rooftop." Fallen? Ouch. I seriously don't like Hayley, but now I just feel sorry for the poor girl. Rest in peace.

{Isabelle's POV}
"Dang it, we lost..." Nathan whined. I replied, "Well, what do you expect? Some of those people were rank A!" Ever since our team took up ranked battling, our ranks have radically risen. Our team rank is B+...
"NEWS FLASH! PLEASE REPORT TO INKOPOLIS PLAZA IMMEDIATELY!"
A news flash? Must be something important.

Callie: Hey, Inklings! This is an emergency news flash!
Marie: ...I'm pretty sure they all knew that already.
Callie: No time to quibble over details, Marie! This is important!
Marie: What is it?
Callie: There's been a death in the Inkopolis Area, around Inkopolis Prep!
Marie: WHAT?!
Callie: We don't know much about the situation. All we can gather is that the victim fell from a four-story building and died.
Marie: Until further notice, all Inkopolis Prep students will not attend the school due to police investigation.
Callie: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here, everyone.

"What?! There's been a death?!" I said in horror. Nathan's eyes widened. "Apparently." Ellie glanced over to the manhole leading to Octo Valley and said, "Was that the Cap'n?" The Cap'n yell-whispered, "Over here! There's something I need to tell ya!"

"WHAT?!" I yelled. "Nami escaped?!" The Cap'n nodded. "I don't know how she could've escaped. I had her locked up in her snow globe for a week or two, and one morning I wake up and it's broken. And now, she's gone." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. First, there's a death in our (semi) peaceful city, and now a criminal octopus is on the loose!
"GUYS!!! DID YOU HEAR?! THERE WAS A DEATH AROUND SOMEPLACE CALLED INKOPOLIS PREP!" Yelled a loud feminine voice. I turned around and saw Orlaith, screaming her lungs out. "We know," Nathan replied. Orlaith shouted, "OK THEN! But I overhead some of the autopsy results! Fingerprints were found on the victim's back!" I replied, "...So what...?" Orlaith loudly answered, "It might have been a murder!" The Cap'n interrupted with, "And to rub more salt in the wound, Nami's escaped her shiny glass prison." Orlaith replied, "THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEED ON A MONDAY AFTERNOON! EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD STILL BE JUST AS BAD ON ANY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK!!!" I softly said, "Calm down, Orlaith. We're all just as surprised as you." Nathan interrupted with, "But we don't yell and scream about it like a rabid animal..." I shot Nathan a look. "Shut up, Nathan. I guess we'll need as many people as possible to try and track down Nami..." Orlaith saluted and replied, "I'm on it!" She hopped into the kettle and swam back to Inkopolis. "...You could've waited for us..." I said, dumbfounded.

{Orlaith's POV}
I popped out of the kettle, my boots planted firmly on the ground. I glance around the crowded Inkopolis plaza. "I guess I should start searching..." My eyes stray to a large building far off in the distance. "Over there!" I run over towards it, but I almost ran into two unsuspecting young Inklings. "Whoa! Sorry. I should watch where I'm going..." I apologized while straightening my skirt. One of the inklings, a female with deep sky-blue tentacles and a white jersey replied, "No biggie! Why are you running around like that, though?" I answer, "I'm... Eh... Looking for somebody. I thought that over there would be a good place to start. The female inkling burst into laughter and replied, "You're a hoot! First of all, to reach that building, you have to take a train! And second, that building is Inkopolis Prep! Didn't you hear what they said on the news? Inkopolis Prep is closed due to police investigations!" My smile faded. "Oh. But I wasn't planning to go inside the building, I was just planning to ask around..." I said. The girl grinned. "Well then, go ahead. By the way, my name's Kasai. It's a pleasure to meet you." The boy next to her said, "I'm Felix..." I replied, "Nice to meet you too. My name is Orlaith. See you around!"
