{ Splatoon } My Colorful Life

The Dreaded Octonozzle

{Max's POV}

I hopped out of the rusty kettle, with Ellie following suit. She grabbed my wrist and said, "Stay behind me." We super jumped down the center.

There was an enormous machine in the center. The machine was surrounded by a pool of magenta ink. Ellie drew closer to the machine, her eyes widening with wonder. "Take a look at this... It's fascinating!"

I replied, "It's pretty awesome." Suddenly, the machine began to spin around rapidly. I grabbed Ellie's wrist and screamed, "NEVERMIND! IT'S NOT AWESOME AT ALL!"

We managed to hide behind a wall. I peeked out from behind the wall after a minute. The machine had a large nozzle on its face, and a large suction cup bulging from the center.

"That must have been the Octoweapon," Ellie said. I sarcastically replied, "What ELSE would it have been?!" Ellie sullenly responded, "We don't know how to deal with it. Calm down, and we'll think of a way."

After a while, I sat up and shouted, "Screw this! I'm not just going to sit here and wait for this thing to kill us!" I ran out into the open, pushing my roller along with me.

The Octoweapon must have seen me, because it reared back and shot a load of ink at me. I yelped and leaped out of the way. I took cover behind another wall.

"This thing is tough..." I said quietly to myself. "I have no clue how I'm gonna defeat it!" A voice replied, "Don't you mean how we're going to defeat it? I turned and saw Ellie smirking at me. "HOLY JEEBUS!" I shouted, causing me to fall backwards. I laid on the ground, illiterate, as a squid. Ellie giggled. "I think I know how to beat it! You see that suction cup on it?" I weakly nodded.

"I have a plan. You roll out a safe path, which will also provide a distraction. I'll safely swim up and shoot the suction cup." I replied, "Sounds good to me." Ellie smiled. "I'm glad that you agree!" She grabbed me and threw me out in the open. "GO GET 'EM, TIGER!" She shouted.

I ran as fast as I could, creating a safe path for Ellie. I looked back and saw her destroy the suction cup with a well-placed shot.

The Octoweapon began to spin around even faster, and another suction cup popped out of its body. "MORE OF THEM?!" I complained. Ellie replied, "My turn to distract it! Fling as much ink as you can!" I nodded and went off.

I swam up behind the Octoweapon and rapidly swung my roller. "DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE-" I screamed. The suction cups were destroyed once again.

But was it over? Oh heck no. Yet another cup popped out of the body. Ellie swam over to me and said, "Listen to me. This plan is risky, but if we pull it off we can end the Octoweapon in one fell swoop." I replied, "What are you waiting for? Tell me!"

Ellie leaned towards me and whispered, "The suction cups are on its back, right? I'll distract it again, and you swim behind me. Stay hidden. When I give you the signal, I'll throw you over the Octoweapon and you can destroy the cups." I nodded. "Perfect! Let's get it going then!"

I followed Ellie in squid form as she inked up path. After she had inked a full circle around the Octoweapon, she began to taunt it. "OVER HERE, FAUCETFACE!" The Octoweapon abruptly turned towards her. She pulled me out of the ink and shouted, "WOOMY!" And threw me over the Octoweapon.

I heavily swung my roller and flicked a hefty amount of ink at the suction cups. They burst, which caused the Octoweapon to explode and cover the area in ink. Ellie swam up to the Zapfish, and pulled me out of the ink on the way back. "We did it!" I cheered. We high-fived and super jumped away.

"Not again! The Octonozzle was shut off!"

"Sir, we're sorry! Those kids are just too powerful!"

"If that's the case, we need to beef up the next target. Amplify by 100, pronto!"

"Y-you can't be serious, Sir! If we do that, the Octoweapon could seriously harm someone!"

"Does it look like I care? I want to keep these stupid kids from interfering with my plans any way I can!"

"Got any Aces?" I asked.

Isabelle replied, "Go fish."

Our game was interrupted when Max and Ellie abruptly landed right next to us, carrying the second Zapfish. The Cap'n chortled, "Perfect timing! Welcome back, kiddos!" Ellie handed Cap'n the Zapfish. "Mission accomplished." The Cap'n put the Zapfish away.

"The next Octoweapon isn't a problem whatsoever," the Cap'n said. "Previous agents have easily subdued it." He pointed at me and Isabelle. "You two will be in charge of taking it down. Okay?" We both replied, "Okay!" And we ran off to take down the next Octoweapon.
