Splatoon 2 Story: A human lives

Chapter 4 - The turf war

"This is so big! I exclaim with a smile. I look around and the crowds are full of inklings.

I turn to the girl. "I never got your name." She looks at me. "Call me Nine." She replies.

"Ok, Nine." We appear on a pad with 2 other inklings, and out colour is purple.
The countdown starts.

3... I ready my inkbrush.

2...

1!

In the distance I can see orange ink being fired and covering the other side of the map.

I quickly ink around the spawn and then jump down. I use my inkbrush to ink any spaces that were left uninked by my team.

I jump down from the top of the tower and land on my feet, somehow not breaking my ankle.

"Maybe rules are different here." I asked myself. I run down the walkway and into the middle section, were a square shaped thing sticks out of the ground.

I run up the other walkway and ink any of the turf that's orange or not covered.

Nine steps beside me and looks up. "This isn't gonna be easy. Stay alert at all times." She said.

I nod and start running up the walkways again, while she, being an inkling turned into a squid and swam through my ink.

"No fair!" I exclaim. She sticks he tongue out and swims up the rest of the tower.

Reaching the third walkway, I see an orange inkling battling Nine. Nine wasn't doing too well and she had orange ink on her in some places.

Using my extra sneaky skills, I crawl behind the orange inkling and hit him in the head with my inkbrush, completely coating his head in purple ink.

Nine shoot him in the face with her tentatek splattershot and he explodes, leaving a ghost of a squid flying up into the sky.

"Uhh.. did oh just kill him?" I ask. She looks at me and says: "No, of course not. I just sent him back to his spawn."

I climb the walkway and ink whatever I can. Meanwhile, Nine inks the ramp and swims up it. "Showoff.."

I keep running up the tower and reach the fourth floor.  Two orange inklings sit here waiting for us to come by, but they don't notice us.

Ok, I lied. They didn't notice Nine, Who was moving towards them in squid form.

While she did that, I kept the inklings distracted. I called them out and they immediately started to shoot ink at me.

Dodging out of the way, I swing my inkbrush and send some ink flying at them.

They got hit and just in time for Nine to pop out behind them and splat them.

Two squid ghosts fly out above me, and into the sky.

I move up the tower to the fifth floor, and cover it in ink. There were two orange inkling up by there base, but the other two were nowhere to be found.

I looked around and saw that the whole top of the purple teams tower was covered in orange ink.

The other two orange inklings jumped down and off the edge, as they hadn't spotted us yet.

We inked more of there turf and jumped down. Well, I jumped down. Nine jumped to the other tower, where the other two purple inklings were trying to fend of the orange ones.

I hit the bottom of the tower and started to run up the purple teams tower. I inked the turf until I got to the top of the tower, where the four orange inklings were.

Sneaking up behind them, I rapidly swung my inkbrush and splatted them all.

They all went back to the top of there tower and something buzzed, signalling the end of the match.

Judd the cat announced the results and we won.

I exited the arena and stood next to Nine. "You did good." She says. "You weren't half bad yourself!" I reply back.

Her phone goes off and she leaves, leaving me alone.

I sit on one of the benches and thought about how my life turned into this. I tried to remember my life before this. My family.

Nothing comes up.

I was minding my own business until I was picked up from the bench and thrown to the floor.

I sit up, and in front of are 4 inkling boys.

The first one stares at me. "What's a kid like you doin' down here in inkopolis?"

"Why do you care?" I respond. "To be honest.." he looks away. "I don't. I jut decided I don't like you, kid."

He turns back to me. "Screw it, I'm leaving." I tell him. "I don't think so, pal."

He punched me in the stomach and I doubled over, gasping for air. I was picked up again and he punched me in the nose, making blood come out.

He drops me and he and his thugs start kicking me everywhere.

The last thing I remember before blacking out is someone screaming "STOP IT!"

Then everything goes dark.
