Splatoon 2: The Sunken Stories | (#1)The Octarian Mysteries

Learning the "Not-So Basic" Basics

Jet's P.O.V

We had been splatting Salmonids for hours on end, until finally we had met our quota. If it weren't for Sav and Jessica helping us out, we would have been lost squids out there. "Woah, I can see why Grizzco pays well. This is a lot of work!" I said, as I wiped sweat of my forehead. But I'm still wondering what Coral told Sav and Jessica. Hopefully it wasn't about me or I'd have to hide somewhere. "That's the last of 'em. Hmph, alright get back to the boat" said Mr. Grizz through our headsets. We all super jumped over to the boat.

Coral's P.O.V

"Welcome back, you two. I saw your performance out there and you were outstanding!" said Mr Grizz. "Head outside and grab your paychecks! I look forward to the next time you have to work" As we started walking outside, we were halted by Mr Grizz's booming voice. "Actually, there is one more thing I have to make sure you two know. Labor Laws
and all that." said Mr Grizz. I wondered what we would be taught this time.

We arrived back at the spawning grounds and we all had our outfits and weapons. "The Goldie is only one of eight different types of boss Salmonids. In this training session, you'll learn about the other seven types of boss salmonids" said Mr Grizz. "The first boss is a Steelhead. This overgrown appetizer has armor all over its giant slimy body. It also lobs giant smelly bombs. Here's what to do: Shoot the Bomb that expands on its head. With enough luck, the bomb will blow up, cooking the Steelhead in its own juices".

Suddenly, the alarm that sounded whenever a boss salmonid arrived went off again. I looked behind me and saw a giant gray fish that had some sort of device in it's mouth that was connected to a tire on the top of it's head. That must have been the Steelhead. It was looking directly at me. "Uh, guys?" I asked, scared for my life. The others turned around and saw what I was looking at too. The Steelhead started filling a green balloon on its head. "That's the Bomb we have to shoot!" Jet shouted.

We all started shooting at the bomb on its head. It almost filled up with ink, but the Steelhead threw it at the last second. It started spinning. "Hit the dirt!" shouted Jet. Jet and I both ran away from the bomb, while Sav and Jessica ran the other direction. The bomb exploded, leaving a large puddle of green ink behind us. The Steelhead started filling up another bomb, but we were able to shoot it with enough ink and the bomb blew up in pink ink, along with the Steelhead. It dropped three golden eggs. Jet picked up one and put in the basket. We all super jumped back to where we first landed, but the other two eggs disappeared. "The next boss is the Steel Eel" said Mr Grizz. "This snake/eel thing is actually a vehicle piloted by a salmonid. Don't let it touch you or it's lights out. All you have to do is get to the back of the Steel Eel and take out the pilot".

Jet's P.O.V
After a few hours, we had known how to take down every single boss that the Salmonids threw at us. I would have to say that my favorite boss is probably the FlyFish since it's a challenging boss to take down. Once our training was completed, we all super jumped back to the boat and set off towards Inkopolis Square.
