Splatoon: Why me?

Chapter 16

(So sorry guys, I live in Calgary and the crazy weather here started getting cold. I caught a nasty flu and had to take that medicine that makes you sleep, so the past week I didn't get to write because I was out cold before 10:00 pm! But luckily I'm getting better and I think today is a good day to write. Two chapters in one week! Whooooooo!)
-----------------------------------------

"What now?" Orae rubbed her throbbing forehead.
"We need to get outta here!" Bluzi yelled over the loud sounds of the underground society falling apart.
He clutches her hand and drag here toward the kettle he came from.
Something was not right for Orae though, something made her feel depressed and guilty.
"Bluzi wait..." She held out her hand to halt her running boyfriend.
Bluzi looks at her with a raised brow,
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Orae hesitated. She still wasn't quite sure what she felt...
"I... Forgot something..."
"What?" Bluzi asked again, coming closer to her.
"I can't remember... The brainwash scrambled my head..." Orae said.
She banged her head on the wall rapidly.
"Try and remember it peice by peice... First you got captured by octolings at the carnival-" Bluzi pointed out.
"-and they brought me to kettle number fourteen..." She said sitting down and thinking harder.
"I remember!" Orae exclaimed jumping up after awhile.
"What?" Bluzi asked.
"I met someone I made a promise to--"

(Flashback)
They dragged me through the colorful gates of kettle fourteen, where I was amazed by the beautiful lights shining and the wonderful music that gave a happy feel...
Though sadly that was not where I was sent to.
The two guards kicked me into the cold damp metal jail cell, which was unlike the rest of the place at all.
After a felt the cold thump of landing on freezing cold stones, I was greeted by a dark figure who helped me up and sat me on a wooden bench.
"W-W-Who are you?" I asked the octoling.
"Just another octoling..." A sweet voice came from here and then I saw her face, beat and bruised all over.
Yet still very beautiful for a octoling.
She looked no older than I, which to my surprise I was right as she was a year younger.
She apparently trusted me as a friend immidiatly as we started talking about the struggles of the octarian families. She told me her brother went to war and got killed by a valiant soilder named agent 3...

Bluzi felt a pang of painful guilt rush through his body. He didn't deserve the world 'valient'. Espically awarded by the family member of the one he killed...

She also said her family was blown to bits in a suction bomb accident that the soilders set off. The soilders blamed  the death of all her family members on her and she was arrested and sentenced to death...
She told me she wept all night thinking of her family members, and how she wished to be free and be able to visit others...
She cried after that, told me that I can believe her if I wanted to, because she understands the horribleness of her kind.

Bluzi wiped away a tear.

I promised her to get her out the moment I got dragged away. I told her that I will find someone who will take care of her...
Octarian or Inkling....

Bluzi sighed, the octoling's story was touching none the less, but it was impossible to get that far into octo valley without being caught...
He didn't wanna kill anyone anymore after her story.
"I really want to help her but... But..." Bluzi sighed,

"It's impossible..."

Orae nodded her head painfully slow.
"Fine... Then pass me that gun..." Orae said through her clenched teeth.
"I understand you don't wanna kill anyone. But I made a promise, and promises must be kept."
She got up and snatched away Bluzi's hero shot.
"Orae no! It's too dangerous!"
Bluzi got up after her.
"Don't tell me what to do! Even if you are my boyfriend I am still in control of my own strong will!" Orae shouted.
"Orae! You got the wrong idea! I-I-I-"
Bluzi stuttered.
"You don't have to give me an excuse... I'll be fine. Besides, you already know my skills. You just fought me!" She smiled through sadness.
Orae jumped into the kettle fourteen and dissaperaed into the depths of octo valley.
"I... I just wanted you to be safe." Bluzi sighed.
How is he gonna protect her now? She obviously couldn't get that far without him... She just doesn't comperhend octo valley as he does.
"Agent 1 calling in, how was the mission?" A voice came through the earpiece he forgot that he had the whole time.
"Er... Good. But now the hostage is going to rescue another hostage... With my gun..."
Bluzi faceplamed but no one was there to see it.
"Um... Okay? But I got a decent roller here if you need it... Just saying." Agent 1 said.

"Right, I'm coming right now."

(Can't end with a decent quote 😔)
