Splatoon Characters.

Smash Characters also.

-------------------------------------

It a cold Autumn night and there were many Nintendo and Sony characters in line for a recent movie that came out. It was a home movie/ indie production done by the Splatoon characters. Mario stood behind a few of his friends, excited and wanting to show support to his little squid-kid friend.

"What-a do you-a think the-a movie is going to be-a about, brother?"

"Well-a Mario, from what I-a heard....It's-a action drama!"

"Sounds great!"

"But remember guys, no matter the quality of the movie, they all did their best in making this.", said Peach.

After forty-five minutes and some murmuring, the line began to move into the theater. The inkling in charge of this movie, agent 3, walking past our group of heroes to.

"Hey! Inkling, are you excited about showing off your film?", sonic asked.

"Wubeta!", exclaimed Agent 3.

"Good to hear!", smile Sonic and Mario.

-----------------------------

Soon, everyone were in their seats and the film began. They quiet down as the light dimmed.

-----------------------------------

The film begins with Agent 3 laying in bed and their alarm goes off. A hand slaps the large button on the top of it off and the inkling sits up, stretching. With a yawn and a rub at their eye, that stand up and trudged to the bathroom. The sound of the shower running (None lethal liquid was used) behind a closed door as their phone began to go off.

Stepping out in super fresh new threads, Agent 3 walks to their phone and checked who was calling.

Agent 1? Why not Cap'n Cuttlefish?

"Hello?"

"Agent 3, report to headquarters right now! You need to gear up and bring Agent .8 with you."

(To differentiate counterparts and give them their own person, Agent 3= Agent .3, Agent 8= Agent .8 and so on.)

"Yes, Agent 1!"

With a now serious expression on agent 3's face, they gear up and ready them self to find Agent .8 and head over to base. However, it took them up to three hours to locate their ally.

"Where is Agent .8? They should be here....."

Suddenly Agent 3 was grab from behind and yanked into a fenced off area. Struggling with a covered mouth, panicked. The assailant shushing Agent 3.

"Shh, listen a round you!"

The sound of multiple ink shots hit their ears in the location of where Agent 3 had been a second ago.

"..."

When they moved to a sewer pipe underground, Agent 3 finally got a good look at their companion.

"Agent .8! What's going on? Did Cap'n Cuttlefish get kidnapped again?"

"...."

The solemn expression alone gave them the answer. Agent 3 almost gave up hope and started beginning hysterical.

"No, No! He's old but not....he hasn't.....hadn't lost his edge! He never even considered retirement! So he can't....he can't.....he can't died."

"...", Agent .8 doesn't look at Agent 3.

"Wha.....Who did this? Who?"

"Agent 4."

Agent 3's eyes widen in horror as their body shakes with powerful tremors.

"......Ah....S-sanitation?"

"....yes.", Agent .8 gave a whisper as a tear slips onto the ground.

The drop echos in the pipe and the silence consumes them both.

-------------------

They had to keep going though, Agent 1 needs them. Somehow they were found by Octarians and they had to find a way out. (Epic sewer pipe boat race)

"Can't we lose them!? Where's the extra ammo?"

"If I knew that, I would have used it already!!"

An up coming deadbolt door blocks their approach and the enemy was closing in. Agent 3 at the wheel grimace and took something from a drawer near the wheel and tossing it to Agent .8.

"What is it?"

"An experiment! Now throw it at them when I count to three!"

Agent .8 nods and faces the fast enemy.

"One."

Agent .8 lifts up the device above their head and presses a blue button.

"Two."

The boat got rammed into and the Octarians are about to board.

"Three!"

Agent .8 slams the device on the floor of the enemy boat and it goes off. A blue foam like ink envelopes their boat and bounces Agent 3 and .8's boat forward through the locked gate. What a splash!

---------------

Turns out headquarters had been hijacked and no longer safe, but they need clues as to where Agent 1 and 2 are. Unfortunately Sanitized Agent 4 was there to intercept them and agent .8 decided to stay behind to fend Agent 4 off and maybe bring Agent 4 back to their side. No luck.

Agent .8 was severely injured and Agent 3 was captured anyway. Agent 4 started interrogating Agent 3 as Agent .8 was sent to a cell for Sanitation tomorrow.

"Where is Agent 1?"

"How am I suppose to know? You already got your dirty tentacles all over-"

Agent 4 slaps Agent 3 on to the ground.

"You know....I use to idolize you....look up to you, but now....now I see you where just a kid roped up into this mess....nothing special....like me. You are nothing, Agent 3, but I am something. I am a bitter, scared kid that wants to end the world. I know this won't solve my problems but it's one fresh way to avoid them."

"...."

"Going quiet so easily? You really are-"

Agent 3 jumps at Agent 4 and bites into Agent 4's arm.

"Get off!"

Having Agent 4's underlings to hold Agent 3 down, Agent 4 dusts them self off.

"Such a desperate move, hoping to save Agent .8 from ending up like me? Don't worry I'll take good care of Agent .8 when I'm done with them."

"Agent 4.....you were such a promising solider, Cap'n Cuttlefish would have been so disappointed knowing it was you-"

"He wasn't."

"...."

"I looked him right in the eye when I did it. Betrayal written all over his face, he even apologized for letting me down! Ha. That old fool thought it was his fault for my hatred as it festered inside of me."

"He loved you, loved all of us like his own children."

"I know, which is why-"

An ink ball was shot through the window at Agent 4 and it them in the shoulder. With a shout of pain, Agent 4 went down and the underlings had been taken down is a similar fashion. Agent 2 burst into the room took an extra shot at Agent 4 for good measure- securing Agent 3 and running out of the room, Agent 2 covering them with a snipe.

"Agent-"

"Agent 8 is already securing them."

"...."

----------------------

When they all got together, Agent 1 and 2 told them what was happening. Agent 7 had been taken out by sneak attack and Agent 6....is out of commission permanently.

"That's...that's horrible!"

"I know....Agent 6 fought as hard as they could."

"I don't know if Agent 6 can ever recover from that kind of trauma but....don't expect them to communicate with us any more. PTSD can change even the freshest of Agents let alone participate in friendly Turf wars."

"Oh ink....."

Agent 3 couldn't stop the tears, Agent 7 was like a sibling and Agent 6 was the closes friend they had.

"Does....their families....?"

"No...We didn't have to heart. Not until....the world is safe again. Only then, that way....they'll have time to....mourn."

"I'm out.", Agent .8 said abruptly.

"What?", said Agent 8.

"I said I'm out. I can't.....I can't fight agent 4. You can see my injuries! Agent 4 is my best friend and you can't count on me to do anything. Not like this...."

"Agent .8...."

"No, Agent .3, you are not swaying me. My mind has been made up. I'm stay here and watching for enemies."

"Sigh....okay. You can stay here in case something happens.", said Agent 2.

Agent 3 and .3 look at each other and frown. Agent 8 pats Agent .3's shoulder and shakes their head.

------------------------------------

The plan was to get the core reactor of the Sanitation machine and destroy it, along with the whole building. For the most part, the plan was working solid until Agent 4 and a robot look a like of (A young and strong) Cap'n Cuttlefish got in their way. Agent .3 with the help of Agent 1 and 2 sorrowfully dueled out their leaders second "death", having him shut down and put in their escape vehicle. 

As this happens, Agent 8 is in the actual core to start a meltdown/ self destruct. Agent 3 is fighting off Agent 4, whose Sanitation is weakening.

"Agent 4....I want to believe....that you are still there...but....just....please! It's hard enough as it is....I don't to fight you."

"Yet here we are, because we have too."

"This isn't fresh."

"Neither is coming home every day with stains on your hands from the ones you ink. What if they had families too? That they just wanted a place to live, a home....because they wanted to be loved too. Why do we fight? Who says that this is the only way to live? I'm tired of it....of...."

For a brief moment the Sanitation lost control of Agent 4 and a realization occurred.

"This is wrong....this is....what's happening to me? Why am I....No....No..."

"A-Agent 4?"

"Stay back! I'm...."

Agent four smiles and takes out a controller.

"Agent 3! I can't hack into the core! Nothing is working...."

"That's because you need this."

Agent four holds up the controller and explains that the machine has a cooling tank to keep it from over heating and causing a five mile radius explosion.

"If I this button here, I can blow up the whole area and more. A back up plan in case I lose....."

"Agent 4 please don't...."

"Please go, while I.....still have control of my self."

---------------

"No! You are not doing this...."

"I have to."

"No you don't."

Agent 3 tackles Agent 4 and they fought over the remote. It slid over to the middle of the room. Agent 4 pushed Agent 3 a way and made a dash for the remote.

"Agent 4?", said Agent 8.

"You should have left when you had the chance."

The Sanitation took back control. Before Agent 4 pushed the button, Agent 3 shot Agent 4 in the head with water. Agent 8 watched as Agent 4 melted. It was horrifying. Agent 8 turned a way to look at Agent 3.

"Why-....No..."

Agent 3 had been pushed in leaking Sanitation. Agent 3's expression is one of pain, trying not to lose her self.

"Hn....Agent 8.....go.....run....I can't keep...this up..."

"Agent 3-"

"I said run! Before I finish what Agent 4 started.", Agent 3 said, their voice calm and monotone at the end.

-------------

Agent 8 and Agent 3 stare each other down. Agent 3 slowly lifted their gun and pulled the trigger.

-------------------

"Where is Agent 3 and Agent 8?"

"I think they're still inside."

"What!? Agent .3 can you get in contact?"

"No, I....think the radio is off line."

Agent 1 looks towards the base solemnly.

"I pray that they make it out safe and home."

---------------------------

This sparks the beginning of their fight. Agent 8 launches at Agent 3 and they fight over the weapon. They tumble down and over each other.

"Agent 3, let me help you!"

"If you want to help me, then get off me. You've grown quite a bit since I last saw you."

"You saw me a few minutes ago!"

"I was talking about that."

"....", Agent 8 was so offended that they didn't know how to respond, but they did anyway.

"It was a pie eating contest and I only ate three of them before losing and you KNOW THAT!?"

"...."

Agent 3 looked down at Agent 8's tummy and gently pinched it. The shocked look on Agent 8's face grew with a heated blush as their mouth formed an "O". Utterly speechless and frozen in place.

Taking a chance, Agent 3 pushed Agent 8's f- completely normal sized butt off of them.

Agent 3 began to shoot at Agent 8, who had to quickly move. Agent 8 barely managed to get out of the way in time. A few scratches here and there and a little bit of blood, but only a little.

------------

Agent 3 had Agent 8 pinned down behind a machine wielded into the floor.

"You can't stop this, Agent 8. Disassociation and lethargically are common now a days. This feeling of self loathing and parcel blame is only a small part of the cycle. Not everyone gets to fix their problems and most only ignore that there is a problem. Agent 4 may have wanted to run from the problems, But am going to face them."

Agent 8 stayed quiet.

"Come on, you're not going to get me to monologue. I'm only going to state a few facts. One: This is not the first time you face me like this. Two: I only want to make this painless- for both of us. Three:....I don't want to say good bye."

Confused at the last statement, Agent 8 foolishly peeks over to see Agent 3 trying to fight the Sanitation.Struggling to keep their mind in reality and ground them self to something- anything!

"A-Agent.....8.....A....gent....8-8.....I-I'm so-sorr-ryy.....Please....shoot me...."

"W-What!? No! I couldn't...."

"Then...I...."

With shaking hands, Agent 3 picks up the remote and smiles at Agent 8.

"Thank you."

The last thing Agent 3 said before pressing the button. The building started rumbling and Agent 8 fell onto an automatic cart they were using to move about in the building. Agent 8 sat up and looked at Agent 3 as they moved farther a way.

"Agent 3!"

Agent 3 only smiled with a tear dripping out of their eye.

-----------

"Agent 8! You're back! Where is Agent 3?"

Agent 8 looked up at Agent .3 and said nothing.

"Agent 8, where is Agent 3?"

"...."

"Agent 8?"

"Gone."

That day no one celebrated the victory, only mourned what they lost. Agent .8 lost an arm, Agent 7, Agent 3 , Agent 4 and Cap'n Cuttlefish lost their lives. Agent 6...lost their sanity. Suck in an endless loop of nightmarish memories.

Agent 8 never told anyone that happened, only saying that Agent 4 had been back to their side for a brief moment, wanting to sacrifice them self for the others and Agent 3 making the sacrifice instead. Making them both heroes in the end.

-----------------------------

The credits roll and everyone is clapping and crying and congratulating the inklings on their great performance, yet have one thing in the back of their minds that could have made the experience even better.

I wish I knew what the heck they were saying.

No one in that theater spoke squid other than the actors them self.

Suddenly, the after credits scene comes on and....

Agent 3 stands in the rubble with the Sanitation clear in one eye the rest of their body covered in darkness.

"A sequel!? I'm not ready for a sequel!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!", Que more gross sobbing.

The End.
