Splatoon

A Different Path

Chapter One

Awakening

"Pale summer moonlight shimmers on the seafloor.

An octopus, unaware that dawn will bring capture,

rests within a trap, dreaming fleeting dreams..."

(Unknown location, unknown time)

Cap'n Cuttlefish looked at the Octoling laying unconscious before him. The only weapon he had was his

Bamboozler, which was being used as his cane. He kept his gaze on her, waiting for her to awaken. A soft

moaning told him she was awakening. Her hair tentacles were very unusual. He had never seen an

Octoling with such a hairstyle. She looked up at him, confusion in her eyes. "Up and at 'em, Octoling! Get

ready for a royal whoopin'!" She still seemed confused. "But you seemed to have lost your weapon, and

there is no honor in defeating an unarmed opponent. So how about we call a truce until we find a way out

of here?" She didn't answer, just kept staring at him. "Speaking of which, where is here, exactly?" The

Octoling got up, the confusion still in her eyes. Cuttlefish faced her. "What's your name, bucko?" She

gripped her head. "I... I don't remember." Cuttlefish looked around, and noticed an overpipe above them.

"Ye must have hit yer head on that pipe." The Octoling sighed. "Who are you?" Cuttlefish mentally

slapped himself. "Right, sorry. Cap'n Cuttlefish, leader of the legendary Squidbeak Splatoon!" She still

looked confused, but made no comment. "Right, now, let's see where we can go." They walked through a

train, then through a rail tunnel, until they reached a vault. "A vault. We need a key to move on. Check

over there." The Octoling walked towards the device he pointed at. She stepped through it, and a

Splattershot appeared in her hand. She looked it over, and looked up at the course in front of her. 'Is this

some sort of training facility?' She moved on, and fired a few shots, getting used to the feel of the

weapon. She then took on the course, completing it with ease. She found a key, and went back to

Cuttlefish. As she stepped through the device, her Spattershot disappeared. "Ahoy, that contraption took

your weapon!" The Octoling sighed. "It's all right, I'll find a new one." 'Either that, or build one.' They

went through and walked into what looked like a train station. "Where are we?"

A/N

Okay, I'm gonna put the cliffhanger here. Here's a little biography of the OC character that is

in this chapter.

Octoling (Name forgotten)

Age-23

This Octoling has no memory of her past at this time. She awoke on a stone floor, with an

elderly Inkling staring at her and speaking in a way that she didn't understand half of what he

was saying.
