Small Love for a Small Squid(Splatoon x Reader

The Great Escape

A few hours passed, though it felt like years. It was dead quiet, and almost pitch black. You sighed and looked down at Headsets for like the hundredth time.

She peacefully slept on you, curled up a bit into a ball. You noticed how her clothes were torn and she wasn't wearing the jacket she normally did. Her arms were completely exposed since she wore a tank top and a bit of her stomach could be seen. Her usually long pants looked more like shorts now and had many rips in them.

You wondered what could have happened to her to get her into such a bad state. You tried not to think about it that much, not wanting to imagine it.

You suddenly heard something outside and the guards yelled.

"Hey! Stop them! Gah!" You heard what sounded like a fight and the door opened, revealing agent 8, 4, 2 and 1. You smiled and were relieved to see them.

"Yo!" Exclaimed 4 with a goofy smile.

You gently shook Headsets so she'd wake up and she groaned. "Arg.....nu.....few more minutes....." that made you laugh and you continued to shake her, avoided her wounds.

She eventually woke up and saw the others. "...what? Is it morning already?" She joked. You rolled your eyes as you smiled and you both got up. You helped her up and you saw 3 get up as well.

"Let's get out of here before backup comes." Said 2 and they all followed her through the halls. You helped Headsets walk, her arm around your shoulders. It felt a bit weird to be in the bright hallways after spending so many hours in that cell but your eyes quickly adjusted.

Some octolings showed up but 4 and 8 dealt with them, using their Hero Shot and Octo Shot. You advanced and we're almost at the exit.

You got out the door, to see an army of octoling soldiers. You guessed there was around 100 of them.

"...Anyone got a plan?" Asked 1, looking more than a bit nervous. You were surprised to see that Headsets stood up straight and walked forwards.

"We fight like we always do. And we win." She said as she held out her hand an a pink sword made of ink appeared. She grasped it then looked at you. "I don't love putting you into this fight, but not having you in it may be worse. What weapon do you use?"

"I use a F/W." you said. She nodded and created one. You took it and looked at it for a moment before looking back at the army.

The other agents prepared as well 1 held her roller, 2 had her charger, 4 had her hero shot and 8 had her Octo shot. Hs also created a hero shot for 3.

"Who's gonna lead this?" Asked 4. They all looked at Hs and you did as well.

She sighed "I guess I don't get a say in this. Fine. On my mark. Ready...." She looked at the army. "...Go!" At her words, the New SquidBeak Splatoon attacked.

You were sure exactly what happened. You just attacked any octoling that was wearing the special shades they wore.

You saw the other agents doing really well. 1 rolled over any near her while 2 smiled them from further away, splatting any that were trying to attack one of you from behind.

4 and 8 were back to back splatting octolings. 3 was going solo, splatting any and all octolings in her path.

Your eyes landed on Headsets. You watched her as she took out many soldiers at once. You were amazed at how well she was doing, despite her injuries.

You snapped out of your thoughts and kept fighting. Your small size actually helped quite a bit since they were having trouble aiming at you.

You kept going and soon there wasn't any left. You had won 4 cheered loudly with 1 and the others just smiled. You walked over to Headsets and noticed that she looked exhausted.

She collapsed and you quickly caught her. She dropped her sword and you picked her up bridal style. You walked back to the others and you all left to go back to octo canyon.

You met up with Captain Cuddle Fish though you weren't paying attention to what he was saying. You told them you were going to head home and that you'd bring Headsets with you. They agreed to it and you left.

You looked down at the sleeping octoling in your arms. She was unconscious snuggling against your chest. You smiled at her and wondered if she would be alright or not. You hoped for the best. Thats all you could do.
