Splatoon 2: Octo Rising

9) Earlier...

Marie's POV:

I like the feeling of air. But not when your standing still or walking up. It's when your on a grind rail circling up a tower about to jump out on an octarian  to shoot them.

"Alright, just need to shoot him and then I'm on the whirlpool!"

"Pretty sure they're called launch pads. Tess made that mistake too but I kept forgetting to tell her."

"Next time I'm thinking in my head rather then out loud."

"It feels like you really don't like me..."

"What was your first clue?"

At that point I quickly jumped out and splatted the octarian at the top of the tower. The second he was splatted a launch pad appeared and I was off.

"Is this your escape?"

"Escape from what exactly?" I said landing in front of the zapfish.

"Your careers taking a big hit becuase She's  gone and you only seem to devote your time to this whole zapfish thing. I can tell becuase I see you outside my shop everyday waiting for Tess..."

"Why would I wait for her? She comes once a week?"

"You have a need to get things done. I bet you wait for her because you hope she may just this once, come twice or thrice a week. You know it could take years to find Callie and-"

"SHUT UP!!!" I stopped walking and took out my headphones. In anger I threw them to the zapfish. It bounced off the force field and landed in front of me, almost fully broken. "Do you think before you speak? Are you heartless? My cousin is gone and your just mentioning it to me every second. On top of that, the octarians are invading and my hands are full... and don't you dare get me started on those interviews, they are just-"

"You know I have to make another headphone now, you damaged the camera..."

"AAUUGH!!!"

I picked up the headphones and threw them off the small island I was on, Sheldon's voice couldn't be heard and I had wished I thought of this sooner. I peered over at the islands I went to before. They had been inked with green, my handiwork. I looked back up and walked over to the zapfish making sure to get my splattershot ready to bust the force field open.

As I aimed it to get the zapfish I stopped for a few seconds. If it did take years to find her then so be it, the squid sisters will never exist then. Soon though the force field started making noises, it was fizzing.

"Huh?" I walked closer. Each step sounded louder then the last and I peered into the zapfish. Purple was surrounding it, it grew, and grew, I figured out what was going on, I ran. I quickly swam away from the growing force using the ink I placed before and started shooting the force field.

The colour on it was purple ink, the octarians' preferred colour. By shooting the field I managed to make it slow down in getting bigger but that wasn't enough. Knowing what was about to happen next I attempted to jump of the island but the force field exploded, pushing me back further to my doom.

The wind was breezing through me, it was faster then on the grind rails but I managed to cling on to the island before the zapfish. I climbed up only to look up at the zap fish island

"the zapfish... it's gone!".

I couldn't see what was going on up on the island but something was happening. I had to get up, quickly. The island I was on was the one before the zapfish. It contained a various amount of octarians and purple ink, but I managed to get rid of both things and in the middle of the pentagon shaped island was a huge tower with the launchpad above it and the grind rails leading up to it below.
