3ed person pov.
It's been a week since the "death" of (y/n). And aloha hasn't been taking it well. Actually, no one really has. Callie was a closer friend of the girl before her memory was wiped, and is taking to really hard. Pearl as well. She hasn't been on the news for a while now. Gloves is probably one of the few to completely isolate himself away from everyone once hearing this tragic news. No one has seen gloves or Callie, or even pearl. Not even rider or goggles has been seen in the square or even the plaza. But aloha. Oh aloha. People have seen him almost EVERYWHERE.
Today aloha was hanging out in the square. It's a rather chilly day, which was bazar because it's the middle of summer. His aloha shirt is covered by a soft pink hoodie. And around his neck sits a thick wool scarf. He taps his crazy arrows on the concrete ground as he scrolls through (y/n)s inkstagram. Inky tears flow down his face as he keeps a straight face. He reads the comments on many of her pictures.
"Aloha, you up for a turf war?"
Army says as he walks up with the rest of the S4. The S4 are unaware of what happened and why they never see their octoling friend anymore. Or in fact, any of their friends. But they rest quiet. Just thinking its a bug or flu flying around because of this shockingly cold weather.
"I don't have TIME for turf wars right now Army!! COD JUST GO AWAY!"
He says harshly standing up and wiping his face. The boys stand silently shocked about Alohas sudden change of mood.
"Alohaaa, are youuu-?"
Mask is cut off by aloha.
"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"
He runs away. Leaving his inkphone on the table. Open to the young octos inkstagram profile. The screen rests on a picture of aloha with his visor off in the bathroom when he was throwing up at the party. The comments below:
Aloha_pinku🎶: wow (y/n)! Really got my good side in this one!!
(Y/n)TheOcto🐙: yup! I'm quite the photographer 📷
Army grabs the inkphone and stares at the photo.
"You don't think something's wrong with (y/n) do you?"
A text appears on the inkphone.
Rider🖕🏻: (y/n)s funeral is being held this weekend.
Callie💝: I'm so sad stilllllll...
Marie💖: it's okay Callie. She will always be with you.
Pearl 👑: Thanks rider...
"Funeral!? She's dead..?"
Mask asks taking his off. Army nods sadly and drops the inkphone on the table before leaning over on it. Skull takes the inkphone and runs in Alohas house direction. Mask heads the other way slowly. And army stays put in the table.
Alohas pov
I sit down at the kitchen table. Slumped into my arms I see snorkel walk down the stairs with straw. Octoglasses is crying in her room or something.
"Hey aloha....."
"Hi.."
Snorkel says. My response is muffled a little cause I said it all slumped into my scarf.
"We hate to see you and Octoglasses like this. Is there anything we can do to cheer you up?"
"Oh! Shorkel shut up! There is this new inkling in town and her first turf war is being held today! She moved here on Monday!"
Straw says and I bury my face in the scarf.
"I don't want to."
"STOP BEING A CRYBABY BRO! Sometimes you gotta move on... I got over it when my sister died."
"I thought you said you hated your sister-"
"Shut the fuck up straw. That's not the point! The point is she's gone. There is nothing you can do about it. Move on. You're going to that match."
"Nghhhh--"
I whine out. Still with puffy eyes they drag me outside.
"OCTOGLASSES GET YOUR INKED ASS DOWN HERE!"
She comes down the stairs slowly and we head out.
-------------------------
Your pov
(hey look. You're still alive. No one saw that coming.)
I grasp my (f/w) tightly. My inkling makeup looking almost real and my wig my new team helped me pick out.
"Why did you choose pink for this team?"
My friend Mari asked. She slips on her round glasses.
"No reason. Just cause I like the colour."
"But your normal ink colour was (I/c)"
"Reasons."
Bubble walks up with her bloblober and gives me a sprite cranberry.
"What this?"
"Crite spranberry."
"Okey...."
We walk into the lobby. Mari with her kenta splatterscope, bubble with her bloblober, and Delta with her dulie squelchers. We are an all girl team. We met after I woke up in the helicopter after the mission. No one was these so I assumed they already left. Until I found a letter. It told me that I couldn't show my face anymore and I had to pretend to be an inkling. It gave me instructions and then I met my team. And they helped me hide my identity. At first I had questions but I ignored them. Because Marina signed the letter from herself. And I knew I had to trust her.
"Okay. Bubble. You come with me and go straight to the middle. Mari, you stay on the ledge above the centre and work your magic. And Delta. You paint the extra in our base and snipe inklings with your tenta missiles."
"Got it!! Where did you learn all this stuff? You're a natural!"
"Let's just say I had close contact with some of the greats..."
I say recalling my relationship with the others.
------------------
"Today we will be having an exclusive turf war with team Pinku versus team red!!"
Pearl yells through the mic as we are teleported to our spawns.
"Today's stage will me moray towers! Let us introduce our players!"
"Squit....."
I mumble under my breath.
"On team red, we have an all boy team! Arrow! The sweet sniper! Then we have Neo! The fastest kid on this side of the stage! We have Schoolboy! The flirty dynamo roller player! And finally, the leader, Punk (sound familiar?) the heavy splatling remix user!"
I tremble at the name of punk. Was he on THE team red?!
"And then we have team Pinku! An all girl team. Cause the name team pink was already taken! We have Bubble! The memey bloblober user! Mari! The feared kenta splatterscope inkling! Then there is Delta! The frightening duke squelcher user!! And their natural leader, (y/n)!! She's the fresh (f/w) user!!"
We wave at the inklings. But a particular group of inklings catch my eye.
Pink ink. And aloha shirts.
"Squit squit..... SQUIT!"
"What is it (y/n)?"
Mari asks. With a tilt of the head.
"Oh. Uh. It's nothing."
"Okay......"
I look at aloha. Or what I think is him. He has a big grey scarf around his neck and a pink hoodie. He's slumped over. Also I see Octoglasses. She has an unzipped zip up hoodie on, and the hood is up. But snorkel and straw look fine.
"Oh aloha.... I'm so so sorry...."
I adjust my grip on my (f/w). I have the same gear on from when I was an octoling I guess you can say. I'm the same person but I look like an inkling and I have pink ink.
Alohas pov
I look at the inklings as they are introduced. One named (y/n) catches my eye. She wears the (f/g) and uses the (f/w). And her face.... it's so recognizable. It looks so much like the (y/n) I knew. But that (y/n) is dead.
But after the battle I am for sure talking to her.
I'm sorry I didn't update on Wednesday. I was going to but my wifi was shit and I only wrote half of this before I gave up and watched vines.
This does count as today's update unless I feel inspired to update. But I think I may do something else.
Anyways I hope you liked this chapter!
