The Opening Act (A Splatoon Script)

Part 3 - Ugly Truths

Echo: Wait, guys! I see Coral!

Brooke:! (Echo leans over the railing, Brooke perks up.)

Brooke: Where?!

Echo: [whispered] Shhh! She's down there, with the guards. (Echo points down at Coral, who still has the elite octoling pointing her gun at her back. A few more guards are now around her, bringing her back to the dressing room. Nariko is no longer with them.)

Brooke: I knew it, she's in trouble! We gotta help her!

Callie: Wait! There's a ton of guards down there!

Brooke: I don't care! I can't let them take her away! (Callie grabs onto the back of her coat, keeping her from dashing off.

(Brooke aims her gun towards the guards.)

(Brooke shoots right in front of Coral, hitting one guard and leaving some ink on the ground.)

Brooke: Hey! Let her go! (Coral turns and looks up as she catches Brooke's voice.)

Brooke: NYYYYAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (Brooke yanks her coat free of Callie's grip and jumps down, still shooting her gun.)

Callie: Brooke!

Marie: Let her go. She needs to get Coral, and it's not like we can stop her. (Callie starts to go after Brooke, but Marie stops her.)

Echo: It looks like she has everything under control, anyway. We've got other people to save. (Echo runs off, the others begin to follow her.)

(Brooke starts fighting the guards. Everyone else is leaving to rescue the others.)

Coral:? (The elite octoling whirls Coral around.)

Coral: H-hey! Wait! (The elite octoling puts her gun against Coral's head. She squirms a bit.)

(Brooke is really mad now.)

Brooke: You leave her alone! (She shoots the elite once in the face, making the elite let go of Coral. The elite falls back in confusion, face covered in ink.)

(Brooke dives at the elite, fist raised.)

Sound effect: WHACK! (She punches the goggles right off the elite and leaves her unconscious.)

Brooke: That's what you get, trying to hurt my little sister. (She gets up with a slight smile. Stars are circling the elite's head.)

Coral: Brooke? (Coral leans over, a little confused.)

Brooke: Beanie!!! You're okay!

Coral: Brooke! You're here! (Brooke gives Coral a big hug.)

Brooke: Yep! And I brought your hat!

Coral: Oh, thank you! (Brooke puts Coral's favorite hat on her head, making Coral laugh.)

Coral: And, yeah, I'm okay! I may have made a really stupid decision in coming here, but I took care of myself! Well, for the most part. What are you doing here? (She blushes.)

Brooke: We came to rescue you!

Coral: We?

Brooke: Yeah, I joined a group of agents so we could save you.

Coral: Aww, you came just for me? (Coral looks really happy.)

Brooke: Well, that's the reason I did, but the other agents also have a few friends to rescue. (She shrugs.)

Coral: Oh yeah! I've seen 'em! I know where they- (One of the guards starts to get back up behind the sisters.)

Coral: *gasp* Brooke, behind you! (Coral yanks her weapon free from one of the unconscious guards' grips as one guard stands up.)
