Legacy One-Shots (Splatoon)

LoH October Horror Special: The Silence of Inkopolis. (Non-Canon)

Warning: This is a serious horror story, and does have some graphic violence and blood. Probably not M level, but close to it. I also recommend being familiar with the rest of Legacy of Humanity before reading this, or at least the first half of arc 2. This was originally going to be a side story, but i decided to release it as a one chapter spin off instead. takes place between Splatfest and homecoming. Props to anyone who knows what series this takes inspiration from.

Levin, Shara and Kirk, were wondering around the old memorial shrine in the outskirts of Inkopolis. While the Inklings didn't bury their dead like the humans, the shrine itself was a testament to lost loved ones. Many names were etched in the shrines numerous monument stones, including those that died in the great turf war. However, the fact that it was night, and lighting was poor in the area, made the trio rather uneasy. It didn't help that a heavy fog had settled in and reduced their vision.

"Where the heck is Neptune? She said she wanted to meet us here!" Shara growled. Levin took the opportunity to poke fun at her.

"Aw, you aren't scared of a little dark shrine, are you? I thought you were supposed to be the mature one."

"Do you want me to hit you again?" She snapped back. "Besides, I don't like disrespecting the dead. If we aren't here to pay respect, then we should leave."

"We gotta wait for Neptune first. Should we look for her?" Kirk asked.

"We might as well. I swear, this had better be good. Kirk, go double check the entrance. Levin, Take a look around the monuments. I'll check the shrine itself."

"As you wish, boss lady," Levin said sarcastically. He moved over to the monument stones, and began looking for signs of Neptune. After about a minute, he glanced over, and saw that Shara was hesitating. "Are you seriously scared? I'll go first if you really-"

"BOO!" Neptune suddenly jumped out of her hiding spot, and grabbed Levin's shoulders. Hearing Levin's high pitched scream, Shara whipped around, and pointed her splattershot pro at Neptune, while Kirk came running from the far side.

"NEPTUNE! WHAT THE HELL?!" Having been scared out of his wits, Levin was nearly hyperventilating while yelling at Neptune at the same time.

"I should have known you would pull something like this," The irritated Kirk said. "Did you seriously call us here just for a joke? And... what are you wearing?"

"Oh, this? You remember that elder race holiday that Drake told us about? Hallow.. something?" Neptune responded. She was wearing a small black tank top, black short shorts, had a pair of fake bat wings on her back, a pair of small horns on her head and an arrow shaped tail pinned on her butt.

"You mean the one where kids would dress up in costumes, and try to get free candy?" Kirk asked.

"Yeah, that one. After he told us about that, I got to thinking what kind of creature I would dress up as, and decided to do a little cosplay. What do you think of my little devil outfit?"

"Did you say little devil? That's so.. you," Kirk replied.

"Oh, why thank you, Kirk! Shall I take your soul first?" Neptune's grin made it hard to tell if she was being sarcastic or not. Shara walked up to the bickering duo, in an attempt to break them up.

"Okay, Neptune. You'd better have a good reason for bringing us out-" Shara stopped, as she was suddenly cut off by the sounds of sirens off in the distance.

"What's going on? Are we under attack? Don't tell me the Octarians are invading," Levin said.

"I hope not. I'm going to call Otome. Maybe she can tell us something. Kirk, Neptune, you two try calling the squid sisters. Levin, you call Cuttlefish." As soon as Shara barked the orders, she dialed the Octoling's number, but the phone refused to connect.
