Kid or Squid: Splatoon Meets Ninjala

Snapper Canal

After their encounter with their next opponent, Team Blue snuck around the Reef to find a more secluded place to talk in while Auburn kept his hood on and lowered his head trying to be clandestine from other onlookers. They soon took the sky tram which they then switched to a train heading east, where they got off at Snapper Canal. Thanks to the Shellondorf Institute's enormous shipments basing through the Canal, the barge beneath the canal is closed off from any Turf Wars and Ranked Battles for the day. Once they found the perfect hiding spot, Specs was able to ask Auburn an important question, "Okay, what exactly do you mean by, "he knows." "

"I meant what I meant. He knows I'm not an inkling." Auburn remembers the words he said to him: I know what you are, mammal. And the other part was just as disturbing: And when I win, you tell me everything about the one called Pinky. Those words made his hands clenched so much annoyance, knowing that he, that self privileged, child voyeuring, no good, lovecraftian reject, was talking about his sister Berecca. "He also somehow drew some connection between me and my sister."

"You mean Pinky?" Said Bobble Hat.

"Berecca!" Auburn pouted.

"Hehe, sorry." Even after being told, she still smiles being friends with him.

"How's that even possible?" Specs questions even further.

"Oh I dunno, what about the fact that I don't have tentacles for hair?!" Auburn takes off his hood and shows his slickback flaming head of hair, stating the obvious to everyone.

While they were talking, Headphones pans through the video she saved of Berecca's first battle with Agent 3 on her phone and found a clue to why Emperor's on Auburn's case, "Guys, you might wanna take a look at this." She shows them all that in the background of the video image, right in the back of her was Emperor and his brother Prince sitting behind her across another table having coffee. "He must've been there to see the battle just me and the others." Just seeing him gazing at his sister wasn't bad enough, the angle of where he was staring when she was running across the window made the kid even more furious. "Wow, real mature there Emperor..." Headphones retorted.

His anger was made visible from the heat radiating and sizzling of gum bubbles hiding in his head which the others took a step back from. "That... Pervert!!" To vent it out, he grabbed the inkbrush that was propped right next to the team's other weapons and started slapping and bashing against the shipping crates around the area until one of them breaks. They've never seen him so cheesed off before and just stayed away from him until he cooled down, while Goggles and Bobble eat popcorn out of nowhere just watching the kid's tantrum. Thinking about bashing Emperor's head just made him remember a horrible encounter with a snooty ninja back then. They thought they could buy out anything and anyone they wanted just because their father's one of the members of the WNA's head committee staff. He even tried to buy out Van and Kappei's friendship all because he was jealous, and was also after Berecca at the time as well.

Seeing that jerk's face and Emperor's at one large box him furious enough to raise his inkbrush high, but something strange happened: the blue ink preset on the brush and the red gum generating from his body started to swirl around each other into the weapon making into a red purple and blue spiral. With one downward slam, he destroyed the box and caused the barge they're on to violently Bob and bounce on top of the waters which caused large ripples to form in the canal. Once everything died down, Auburn was finally able to calm down and noticed that Team Blue came out of empty crates, hiding from the rampage. "You done?" Specs asked as he came out tripping out of a box near Auburn.

"Yeah... Yeah I'm good..." Auburn confirms letting go of the brush from his deathly grip. "Sorry about that..." Knowing that he overdid it made him embarrassed. He'd never done that since the beginning of his school days at the academy.
