The Legacy Of Humanity - A Splatoon Fanfiction

3.11 - The Finale.

"You wanna get that out of my face, Shara?" After having the Octoling goggles forcefully removed from her head, Neptune had been staring at the business end of Shara's weapon for several heated seconds. Since Shara didn't reply, Neptune tried to sit up, but Shara pushed her back down.

"...A reason..." Shara said.

"Shara, I'm always up for rough play, but this isn't the t-"

"I SAID GIVE ME A REASON!" Shara roared, and pressed the end of the barrel to Neptune's face. "You're a traitor! Just because you had a change of heart and left that video, doesn't mean that you didn't betray us!"

"If that's what you think, then I guess I'm a better actress than I thought. Still, I would think that a 'thank you' would be a little more appropriate."

"A thank you? YOU SHOT ME! And now you expect us to just pretend like nothing happened?"

"Well, I had to put on a show for them. Why do you think I only shot you once in the butt, instead of the head or chest?"

"But what made you so sure we would find her?" Levin asked. "They could have died if we hadn't found them in time."

"You intentionally let me call them over the communicator, didn't you?" Marie said with an understanding face. "A calculated risk. I didn't think you were the type to think like that."

"Finally, someone gets it. Now, how about getting offa me? Or do I have to explain all the information that was leaked to you?" Neptune was starting to get impatient.

"That's a load of sharkshit! We already know that it was Jack that leaked everything until you sent the distress signal," Shara responded.

"And where do you think Jack got my phone? Who do you think intentionally let him pickpocket it? Why do you think I waited as long as possible, before taking it back?"

"She has a point. Isn't it time we stopped this and become friends again?" Callie asked with a pleading expression.

"Just one more question," Drake said, and looked directly into Neptune's eyes. "Why did you attack the Eden facility?"

"Oh, that's easy," Neptune responded. "After seeing you survive things that would kill any other inklings, and after visiting your base, I know that you would be able to fight off one of Gull's attacks. As for why, It seemed like the perfect way to get rid of Gull, while showing you just how serious these guys are."

"So that was meant as a wake up call? Wow, our little trickster is quite the strategist," Drake said.

"Hard to believe this is the same girl that drew on my face. It gives me a migraine just thinking about it," Otome said, who looked like she was ready to give up on life.

"And I'll be happy to do that again," Neptune said with a smirk. "But first, can I get up now?" Having nothing else to add, Shara just stared at Neptune. Her mind was fighting a battle with itself on weather or not to trust her, when Levin finally stepped up.

"Shara, I think she's telling the truth. She might have played both sides, but if not for her, than we wouldn't even have known about the attacks. Let's give her another chance." Shara looked at him for several seconds, before finally relaxing her expression. She lowered her weapon, and stood up.

"Wow, I expect big brother to be the whipped one, not the tiger shark," Neptune said, as she got up. Levin covered Shara's mouth before another fight could start. "Anyways, where's Kirk? I would have expected him to come riding in on a white seahorse to rescue me." The others all looked away with pained expressions.
