Tactical Turf War (A FTWW Story)

Chapter 2

I ran straight for cover, slamming my back against the wall. I look beside me to see a man, darker skin, purple eyes and wielding a pair of Hero Dualies, much like myself.

"Uhm... Hello--" The man cut me off almost instantly

"Look, either you be serious about this or I throw you out there as a distraction!"

"Uh...I..." Before I could say anything, the man rushed off.

I quickly ran for more cover, closer to the enemy, spotting a inked path and an octoling near it, i took my chance. I swam over behind the octoling, grabbing her by the legs and pulling her in. Too bad you can't breathe in another coloured ink. Rushing back and slamming my back against the wall yet again was easy. Taking down another target is the hard part. I decided to take a peek over the cover, I had to duck down almost instantly. I look to my right, to my surprise seeing a girl, the same girl from the helicopter run in with her roller.

"Aaaaagh! Die, octolings!" She yelled, jumping and slamming her roller down, taking down two. She ran for cover, right next to me.

"Watch this." I say, smirking at the girl. I rush out , rolling towards an octoling. A splatter of ink splatted the octoling before I could hurt it. In confusion, I look behind me. Seeing the girl standing with her roller over her shoulder.

"Beat ya to it." She smirked at me. My only reaction was to look away in defeat

"Is that it?" I heard someone yell

"Suppose so.." Someone replied, going in front of everyone else. It took everyone by surprise, Splat! The inklings gear fell to the ground in purple ink. My eyes widened at the sight. The gear sinking into the ink, that inkling was gone. In my shock, I didn't even realise the charger's aim pointed at me.

"Look out!" I was tackled to the ground just before the charger was fired. It was the man who looked similar to me who I saw in the briefing. The save was closely followed by a scream of the octoling.

"Nice, Spore!" I heard someone yell, not knowing who said it.

"Th-Thanks.."

"Yeah, no problem, just be more careful.." The man replied. We both got up.

"Helicopter's there!" Another inkling called out. Before I knew it, there was a huge rush towards the helicopter, me included, apparently.
