"Overture"
(Before you read this, this is my first fanfic so expect a bit of bad writing here and there. This is one of many parts of this fanfic, which will establish the main plot of the story in a way and what I want to do with the story. This part of the fic revolves around Splatoon since I find it a little fitting to start the fic here and that I like these silly little squids XP. Enjoy!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alterna; a large futuristic facility underneath the Splatlands containing all sorts of human history from long ago. Once a history vault filled with history considered ancient to inkling and octoling culture (Which nobody would be able to find on their own), is now the hideout of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and members of the force, Agents 1 and 2 (The Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie), and their Captain had already called some friends to share a fascinating discovery...
"Marie, can you believe this?? I can't WAIT to show everyone else!" Callie said, being the more hyper Squid Sister.
Marie sighs, not being as excited as her cousin. "Well, if by 'everyone else' you mean the people we can actually trust, then yeah. I can hardly wait..", she says as a response to Callie's energetic nature. "I still can't believe a simple discovery got you this hyped up."
"A SIMPLE discovery!? Marie, this is the discovery of a lifetime!!", she said, seeming a little offended at her cousin's words.
"Callie...I'm gonna be honest with you, I'd say I'm pretty excited myself, but you're not seeing me bouncing off the walls about it, aren't you?"
Callie's enthusiasm didn't seem to decline one bit. "Come on, Marie. The least you can do is get more PUMPED about this! Right, Captain?" The Captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon nodded in agreement, despite being extremely calm and silent about the matter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some time has passed since Callie and Marie told some people they know about this discovery. Callie's enthusiasm didn't seem to wear off, while Marie had no means of waiting any longer.
"They aren't coming, Callie. We should just go home...like I wanted to.."
"But, Marie! We should at least wait a little while longer! All my texts to them had a whole bunch of details that made it look like they HAD to check this out!"
Marie grumbles in annoyance "Oh, so yet again, it's my fault that my texts are 'undetailed' and 'boring'? What a surprise.", her voice dripping with sarcasm. "We should just regroup tomorrow and-"
"AYO! YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST GIVEN US MORE INSTRUCTIONS!"
An inkling, who was Pearl Houzuki, one half of another famous Inkopolis duo, Off The Hook, came by with an octoling which she and her partner Marina named Eight. "You didn't tell us that this place was UNDERGROUND!", Pearl yelled.
Marie looked at Callie with a smirk. "Who has the undetailed text messages now, huh?"
"..You didn't even tell them where to find us either!"
"...Fair point."
"Okay, okay, enough talk. Which one of you is gonna lead the way?", Pearl chimed in while walking towards them.
“Oh, yay!! I’ll be happy to-” “Slow down there, Cal. I should lead the way. You might get us all lost.” Marie says after interrupting her cousin and moving her aside.
Callie retaliates to this little remark; “Heh. Says the girl who never had a job as a tour guide. I remember where we found it, I swear! I can get us all there just fine. Easy!”
Before the two cousins could bicker any further, the Captain got up from their resting place and began to lead the way.
“...Well, it doesn't matter, anyway. We have to follow the Captain now.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone then arrived at many different multi-colored portals in Alterna, each leading to a new and different unknown world.
“We’re here!! See? Isn't it just AMAZING!?” Callie said, not even trying to stay calm in the slightest.
Pearl however, was very confused at this sight. “It’s just a bunch of colored portals?”
“I know! Cool, huh?”
Eight looked fascinated at the portals. VERY fascinated. She couldn’t help but wonder what each portal contained, all of them having unique features that she had yet to discover.
Marie began to speak again, “Well, one day we just found them here while Agent 3 was going through Alterna and reported them to us.” It’s true that nobody in the New Squidbeak Splatoon knew about the existence of these portals before or where they came from, but the thing that mattered was that they were there, and no one knew what to do with them.
Pearl then sees how interested Eight was with the portals. “Ayo, Eight. Whaddya say we check one of these things out?”
Eight looked at Pearl. They knew these portals might be dangerous. They KNEW the possible consequences of simply hopping into one, but they nodded eagerly, clearly excited to find out what was to come.
“Marie, look! I forgot how colorful and pretty they were! They even look more pretty everytime I look at them!”
“...Hm…okay..they ARE pretty cool.”
“Yay!!”
The Squid Sisters continued to talk together, while the Captain realized something: Eight and Pearl were gone. They first figured that they entered one of the portals, but they didn’t know which one, so that meant they had to take a random guess.
The Captain proceed to just drag the girls into a portal with them.
“...Times like this i wish that the Captain actually LIKED to talk…”
…Meanwhile, 3 mysterious masked figures watching above had seen everything and actually knew all about the portals.
“...Hm. These new worlds could be new banditing mines for us…”
“Yeah..We can make all kinds of loot! We’ll steal it from right under their noses!”
“Ay! Ay… (Yeah! But, it still might be dangerous…)”
“...Oh well. We’re still going in at least one of them.”

Okay!! Hope you liked this! Again, this first part establishes the plot of the overall fic and gives an idea of what will probably happen with other fics I'll write when all of this is done. More to come, but it'll take some time.
