Splatoon: Old Hatreds

Blackout

Inkopolis plaza

"You!"

"You.... "

When Callie and Marie saw each other they both stopped and stared at each other, both had angry expressions on their faces. They were wearing their own Hero suits so nobody recognised them as Callie's included a pair of shades and Marie's included a face mask.

The two the them turned to leave after a moment of silence.

"Hey wait!" a voice came out of nowhere.

Inker came running up to the manhole after seeing the two, he was followed by Kalus, Neon and Sky, who were telling him to slow down

"Where are you going? You guys are going to help me out right?"

"You look like you got all the help you need Agent 3."

"Hey wait, aren't you two inseparable? What could possibly have happened to lead to this?"

"Ask Marie!"

"Ask Callie!"

The two of them left is separate directions.

Inker tried to stop them, but didn't know which one to chase after, they were both good friends and had helped him out quite a few times before, how could he choose one over the other?

Inker and the others watched as Callie and Marie disappeared into the crowds of Inkopolis.

Octo Valley, Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack

Just beyond the manhole was Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack, and of course the snow globe that contained DJ Octavio, you would think that the Octarians who snuck into Inkopolis would have freed him first, since he was along the way.

"Cap'n!"

"Hmm? What is it bucko? Ahh are ya lookin' for that Octarian lady who showed up a moment ago?"

"No, but wait Victoria was here? Where did she go?"

"Hmm, oh she said something about guiding you somewhere, but then got spooked when Octavio said he'd give her brain a good remixing once he got out, so she said she'd rather wait at the rig."

"Looks like we'll be going to the rig again, but anyways Cap'n what do you do as mission control anyways?"

"Well I sit in my cabin, hack into the huge network of cameras the Octarians put everywhere, and speak to you through your headgear."

"That's doesn't sound too hard, good" Inker brought Sky forward "This is my friend Sky, he wants to help without fighting, so I was thinking he could stay and help you out."

"I'm Sky, we've met before though, I would like you to show be how to act as my friends' mission control."

"Oh? Most kids nowadays would rather hog the spotlight, it's rare to find someone who is willing to do the behind the scenes work, sure i'll show you the ropes, come inside."

"Of course Cap'n"

"No need to call me that, you ain't part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, you can just call me Craig."

"Oh right, one more thing Cap'n" Inker stopped Cap'n Cuttlefish before he entered his shack. "Is it possible to synchronize our ink colours like in Inkopolis Tower? It would really help us if we could work together, and didn't have to worry about splatting each other."

"Ahh you must be looking for a colourizer, I happen to have one in here for when Agent 1 and 2 take on missions together."

Sure enough, inside Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack was a large machine with a casket large enough for an Inkling and various gauges and knobs beside it.
