World Of Ink (A Splatoon Story)

A new friend

I was walking alone after coming back from a turf war when I thought back to the ally way. Maybe Pearl and Marina we're rebuilding it or maybe they haven't even thought of it! Either way, I was gonna check it out instead of heading back. As I walked up to it, I saw 8 looking around as if making sure no one was around and walked towards the ally. He didn't notice me. I followed him into the ally but hid behind the corner to make sure I didn't blow my cover. It wasn't normal to spy on my friends, especially ones I trust, but octarians have a reputation for blowing off people. I watched as he squeezed in a hole none of us had noticed before, as I followed him down. I was kinda shocked that I was doing this. I mean, why would he want to go back? I waited a bit before following him. I watched as he walked up with something in his hand. It looked like a shopping bag, but I was more concerned with what was in it. When I looked up, I couldn't believe what I saw. I WOULDN'T believe what I saw! It was 8 but giving the bag to another octarian! Was he spying on us and giving them information? Was he telling them how are weak points are easy for their army to build? I had enough of this! I pulled out my roller from my last turf, and shouted "8! What are you doing! How could you!". 8 froze with fear in his eyes and a shocked expression on his face. He stepped out and tried holding and X with his arms and shook his head. Probably saying "It's not what it looks like." I wasn't believing any of it, and charged towards the octarian. I pinned 1 of em to the ground and yelled towards 8 "Don't you dare go near me! Now empty the bag or your next!". 8 shakily opened the bag and clothes popped out. "Huh?" I looked back at the octarian I pinned. She had tears in her eyes and looked like she was already beaten enough. I got off her. "I don't understand." 8 sighed and walked over to her, grabbed my hand, and shook hers. "Friend?" I asked. Was he trying to say be friends? 8 nodded. And we headed back to the lobby. By the time started to head out the exit, the girl already had the new clothes on. I turned to her. "What's your name?" In a faint little voice, I heard the name Neon. As we walked out I heard someone behind me. I turned around, startled. A green haired inkling came out from another corner, and Neon started to smile and wave her hand over. I was just confused in all of this, but I watched as the inkling had a gun already equipped, but didn't shoot. Instead she smiled and nodded to the exit. We all lefted through the crack and for some reason, Neon put the octo shades on. I started to panic and held my hand on my roller. The rest of the group looked at me and gave the sign of approval. I began to ask a load of questions. Like, "Why aren't you hurting us?" or "How many of you are their that aren't under the control?" or my favorite "Why are you trusting this octorain?" As we walked towards my place, everything was explained, that this green hair inkling, was known as agent 3, and his mission was to splat the octarian army. Our power was still missing but she had no lead on finding it, but know who might. Marie (one of the squid sister.) She told us we're we might find her, and it sounded a lot like the mysterious squid we saw earlier. Agent 3 already looked beaten up, so I told her I'll put up the task to get back the power! Although, I wanted to keep my promise, I wasn't going alone. I explained what was going on and had to do a little convincing to get my friends to join... All worth it though. It was settled. We planned on working out a plan, and thankfully, Agent 3 allowed Neon at her place (sadly that means I gotta deal with Lauren and Senpai screaming about Marie all on my own ;_;) , and we waved them away, after he gave us we're to find her. Funny enough, it was right by salon run. Neither Olive or Lavender seemed to like the idea of saving the town for power. Since they were horrible with guns, or any weapon really, they wouldn't be much of help. But screw it! We dragged them anyway! Onwards!
