Splatoon: Forbidden Color

Prologue

Before we begin, this is my first time writing a fan-fic and a story. So, there will be grammatical errors and awkwardness. Do NOT copy my stuff or anyone else's, it's hard work writing this stuff. But, aside from that, I hope you like it!

There was once a legend forgotten within the lost sunken scrolls. Scrolls that held one of the greatest secrets of the Great Turf War: Red inklings.

Red inklings were known to have great strategy and were cunning fighters that helped the inklings win the war against the Octarians. Red inklings were rare since the color was forbidden within the inkling mainstream, as it was deemed the color of violence.

Once the Octarians lost the battle and fled underground in the Kettles, the inklings decided to let the red Inklings, or "reds" as they were often called, live near the borders that divided Octo Valley and Inkopolis to prevent another turf war from happening. As long the many red Inkling settlements on the border remained and their descendants still stood, the Octolings couldn't make a move on Inkling territory without suffering many casualties from the traps that the cunning reds have set. Peace was set to last forever for the inklings, but it wasn't long before the most tragic event happened to the many settlements.

One by one, each red settlement had began to disappear. As other Inklings investigated, there was no trace of the reds inklings that had lived there before. Only an ink so endlessly blackend, it was unlike any other ink the reds had ever seen stained across the settlement grounds.

The number of villages had began to wane, no one, not even the great leaders if each settlement knew what was causing these odd losses.

Finally, there was only one settlement that remained, the small but, close-knit red settlement of Univille. Everything seemed peaceful, every member of the small population fortified their settlement walls, established a curfew for all citizens, and isolated all entrances to their home, in the hopes of preventing what had happened to the other settlements.

On a warm day, when the sun had beamed, the sky was free of clouds, every red inkling of Univille had made the fatal mistake of letting their guard down. Everyone had gathered in the town square, discussing stories of the Great Turf War late into the night.

Soldiers had forgotton their weapons at home and guards were excused from their duties for the evening.

And that was when the Octolings attacked.

Year 300065 (15 years before the present day of inkopolis or what year IDK, couldn't tell a solid year)

In the Octarian lair
Octo General #1: I had enough of this long stalemate! We've all been hiding here underground since we lost the great turf war and we are still here cause of the those red inklings living near the border!
Octo General #2: You don't have to remind us in that tone.
Octo General #1: If it wasn't for your last plan, we wouldn't have lost that much men when we tried storming through the town your way!
Octo General #2: Excuse me, I saw that your plan was the most unnecessary plan I have seen to lose more men then my plan.
Octo General #1: Why you little-
???: ENOUGH!
The two generals stopped their heated bickering and returned to their seats, still sending sharpened glares at one another.
Octo Commander: We've been through this many times and I don't want to repeat again in the gathering.

The two generals stared at each other, still lukewarm about their argument. The commander takes out a worn map and spreads it out onto the council table, harsh red markings covered the expanse of the map.
Octo Commander: We have lost our power due to those inklings stealing our zapfish after the Great Turf war 100 years ago and we still have no way of claiming our power source back cause of the last red inkling's town Univille standing at the borderline to Inkopolis. We need to end this stalemate so the octolings can crush that town once and for all in order to get our power source back from those inklings. Any suggestions? all of the generals proposed their own ideas
Octo General #1: How about we charge straight into the town.
Octo General #2: Come now, your plan always end up having to lose loads of soldiers in the charge and keep in mind that our spawn machines is limited due to power for our soldiers to come back after being splatted, mine is to sneak in the town while they are asleep. Now that's a great plan.
Octo General #3: you forgot that the town is fortified with traps and guards everywhere, infiltration is not an option day or night. We can try split tactic to distract those red inklings on one side and attack on another side.
The generals continue to discuss while the commander is sulking from all of the failed plans to destroy the town till a voice was heard
???: Yo, I may have a plan to make those red inklings fade out to black for good.
Everyone stopped and turned as they saw an octopus with his familiar headphones walking in the room: DJ Octavio.
Octo Commander: DJ Octavio, we were just discussing about erasing the town for good, what plan do you have in mind?
DJ Octavio: we have a new weapon that can destroy those red slimy hipsters without any casualties, this weapon has been forbidden to be used to both inklings and octolings races for its destructive outcome. Some of the octarians decided to test its effects on the nearby towns to see if its enough to take down those red inklings for good.
All of the octarians knew what Octavio was talking about and agrees without any hesitation.
Octo General #1: I believe it's time to use it against those red inkling to finish them once and for all!
Octo Commander: spread the news to all Octarians to prepare themselves for battle, the time that this stalemate ends today!
