Splatoon Fanfic: Like No Other (Fem!Agent 3 x Male!Reader)

07.

No sneak peak this time. You guys deserve a full chapter. So enjoy.

The T4 Dropship began to descend onto Octo Canyon, it's engines keeping it from falling flat onto the ground. Extending its landing legs, the aircraft landed smoothly and the doors opened. 4 climbed out, donning the super soldier armor he wore this whole time. 5 and 6 came out as well with an unconscious 3 slung over 6's shoulder. Callie and Marie came out as well with Pearl following suit, carrying her PULSAR. An excited Sheldon ran towards 4, clearly fascinated with the suit,

"Oh my! This is the best sample yet!" Sheldon exclaimed, holding 4's arm to examine the armor. Adjusting his telescopic goggles, he took a closer look at the armor, "high impact absorbing technology, kinetic energy channelling technology, limb enhancement and impact absorption?! This is THE suit! May I have a sample?"

"Hey, hey, Shelly," 4 told him, flicking switched inside the suits gauntlets which caused the suit to open up from behind, letting 4 step out, "it's all yours."

Sheldon hastily set the suit down carefully on a trolley, excited with his new experiment apparatus. 6, still carrying 3, came up next to him,

"So, how's the suit?" 6 asked him, smirking,

"Less Doomguy, more Gordon Freeman," 4 commented, "leave it at that."

"Heh, so, where you want to set her down?" 6 asked, "she'll be out for some time."

"I think Cuttlefish Cabin has a spare bed," 4 pondered, turning to Callie, "hey Cal, does the cabin have a spare bed?"

"I mean I could set her down on the floor with a blanket and pillow," Callie replied,

"Will do," 4 responded, turning back to 6, "you heard her."

"Yep," 6 replied, carrying 3 over his shoulder.

Callie and 6 walked into the cabin to set 3 down. Meanwhile, a worried Pearl was asking Commander Valentine a few things,

"Are you sure you haven't heard from Marina yet?" A worried Pearl asked, "is it a faulty transmitter? Receiver? Anything?"

"Pearl," Valentine responded calmly, "if we haven't heard from Marina, we haven't heard from her. Don't worry, she's a professional at sneaking away so I'm sure she's fine."

"Yeah," Pearl admitted, "she could sneak away from a concert and people wouldn't know until the fat idiot stops wanking and start looking."

"Huh, fair enough," Valentine replied, turning away from Pearl and walked towards Cap'n Cuttlefish who was sitting next to a grumpy Octavio trapped in an old globe.

4 observed a curious 8 approach him slowly. Noticing him noticing her, she looked away and pretended to play with her tentacles. Obviously not fooled, 4 called her over,

"Hey, I won't bite," 4 told 8, "something you need?"

8 peeked over her shoulder and slowly walked over to 4, her eyes fixated onto the cabin,

"You think she'll be alright?" 8 quietly asked 4,

"She's been through a lot," 4 responded, "so really, I don't know."

4 and 8 just stood there, both looking towards the cabin. Intending to break the silence, 8 cleared her throat and spoke up,

"3's really grateful for what you have done," 8 told him,

"Huh?" 4 wondered, "how'd you know? And what?"

"Do you remember, back at the Metro? When you saved 3 from getting squashed?"
