Splatoon: Love and War (Marie X Agent 4 [Male]) Book 1 *COMPLETE*

Chapter 64: The Beginning Of The End

Narrator POV

*Verrrrmmmm!*

Our heroes have embarked on their final destination to cephalon HQ. The helicopter ride was a long one. Flying all the way fron the top of the canyon where the squidbeak HQ and Cuttlefish shack were built, all the way down to the creepy depths where the most nasty octarians lurk. As they delve deeper, the sky only grew more gloomy and the atmosphere had colors of dark grey and hints of blue. Purple mist was common and was a very hard obstacle to overcome for poor Sheldon and Marina. The flight was long...But not much longer...

Sheldon POV

The small creature had his sights straight ahead. Marina was chill and had her controls on autopilot.

Sheldon: ...Hm

The Flying Fortress flew slower to avoid any form of crash.

Sheldon: ...Marina?

Marina: I hear ya shelly

Sheldon: Do you see anything?

Her eyes were focused on a screen as she fixed her headset.

Marina: Not picking up any heat signatures...Seems its still a clear path...

Sheldon: Well...I can't see squit in this mist...

Marina: Just keep your eyes peeled. You never know what could pop out

Something didn't feel right though...To Sheldon at least...

Sheldon: Its quiet...TOO quiet...Im running the scanner...

He began to look left and right at his control panel looking quite confused.

Sheldon: Erm...How does one scan?

Marina: Hehe, its the green button below you. She laughed a little to his question.

Sheldon: Ahh, thanks

With a flick of his wrist, he pushed the green button. The screen in front of him pulled up a radar with a yellow pulse. Some yellow dots appeared.

Sheldon: Uhh...I have a reading...

Marina: I see it too

He pushed forward on the throttle to pick up speed to find out exactly what those signatures are. Maybe an animal? A bird? Possible snipers...

Sheldon: *sigh* Marina, radio the others in the back...I'd feel safer if they were on alert

Marina: I'm sure these targets aren't anything harmful...But...If it makes you feel better

The octoling adjusted her mic near her mouth and twisted a button slowly.

Leon POV

*Krrrrrzt!*

Leon: ....AHH?!

The green hero fell asleep too, piled under agents 1, 2, and 8. He blinked quickly to hear the comms go off.

Pearl: Marina? We hear ya buzzin' us

Marina: *Krzzzt* Attention please, Shelly and I found some odd targets only 10 kilometers away

Leon's ears perked up to this.

Marina: *Krzzzt* Stay alert and be ready if something decided to pay us a visit, agent 6 over and out

Her voice was gone. Pearl and Leon looked at each other and nodded.

Pearl: You better watch from the Splattlings yo, those doors are wide enough to give ya some of that space to shoot your boom stick
