-Agent 7 gotten up and sighed, training his eyes on Otha. He shook his head and dusted off his white-grey gradient Kimono and quietly draws his Inktana, known as “Zatoinkchi”-
Agent 7: “The moment i draw my divine chi-infused inktana from it’s sheath, it cannot be sheathed until it has drawn the blood of my enemies... and i see you, a fellow octarian, before me.” -he sighs and looked
“I shouldn’t harm my own kind, i’ve been independent for so long now, free from being a sleeper agent of the Octarian’s Regime, free from being a employed hitman for the Squidbeak Splatoon. Thus i pose the question to you...” -he said, squinting at Otha, the agent’s red irises seem to brighten as he squinted-
“Who is my enemy, and why are they my enemy?”
(OOC: As a side note, i wish there was Ink Swords in Splatoon, a separate melee class from the brushes and rollers, you’d have all sorts of sword styles from European Medieval to Shogunate Japan Katanas and whatnot, to Sabers from the American Civil War and pirate cutlasses. )
Othaurus sheathes his sword.
Othaurus: "I'm afraid I can't answer that, friend, because of how inconsistent alliances are. Your ally in one war could be your greatest enemy in the next. Unless you're speaking in philosophical terms, in which case I suppose everyone's enemy is fear, or lack of conviction? Maybe."
Othaurus turns to August.
Othaurus: "To answer your question, I found this sword during my scouting missions. As for the exact location I found it, that's... classified."
OOC: Maybe in Splatoon 3, which, side note, I hope will be on Switch rather than the next Nintendo console.
"Classified, hm?" August is a little intrigued. "But no matter. Anyway, we were going to ask you if you were being at all interested in working the Salmon Run shift with us. Or...at least Natalie. She is the only one who has not yet offered to step out."
"If you're not interested we can opt back in," Dan offered.
"Ack, my bag's open." Jen pushed something back into her bag and zipped it. "Ah. Okay, I'm down with anything, so you can do whatever."
"Do whatever what?" August asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just...whatever." She shrugged and grinned a bit. "Whatever ya do, ya do. I'll be off somewhere in a bit, so I don't care whether you include me or not."
"Off where?" August was curious now.
"Eh- uh- doing homework!" Her attempt at an excuse didn't fool August. "Well, I just need to go. It's classified."
"Oh boy! Again classified? This is going fresh." He groaned.
Jen patted her bag nervously. "Yup. Totally, uh, super fresh. Anyway, you guys have fun, yeah?"
"Yes, th-" When Natalie turned around, Jen had disappeared out of sight. "...thank...you...very much...?"
"She'll be fine," Dan assured the two. "She's come back before. Oh, and- I just remembered I have actual homework!"
To their relief, the male Inkling was just seen running across the street, and didn't "pull a Batman" like Jen did.
OOC: WOW, it was a while ago that I'd posted this. Whoops.
Turtles' POV: Piratox roars: "TYRON! I DEMAND A REMATCH! A ONE-ON-ONE DUEL BETWEEN WARRIORS, TO END THIS RIVALRY FOR GOOD! A TRUE KING WOULD AGREE TO THIS PROPOSITION. WILL YOU, OLD FRIEND? OR PERHAPS YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF YOUR TITLE?!"
Tyron: "Fine. I shall meet you on the doorstep of my castle for this fair duel, Piratox."
Typhoon: "Wait, Your Highness! Like you said, something's not right!"
Tyron: "I know. If Piratox has a treachery planned, I'll retreat into my shell, and you bombard the spot of the duel."
Typhoon: "Understood, Your Majesty."
Saleem's POV: Saleem: "I'm still waiting for your decision, your highness. Will you do the right thing and surrender, or will I have to reluctantly attack my own future castle? Obviously, there will be less casualties if it's the former, wouldn't you agree?" TheFirstDecade
-suddenly, Saleem could hear some hisses from below-
Skales: “ALASSSS, I HAVE FINALLY FOUND SSSSOMEONE WHOM ISSSS LIKE ME!!” -the lovely blue Hypnobrai screamed out-
Acidicus: “HEY, DOWN HEEERREE!!!” -another Serpentine hissed out, the Venomari jumping a bit-

Sa’Qhala: “Oh d-dear... wh-what will i do...? Wh-where’s Flygarra’s military?!” -she says, very confused and scared-

-A lone young adult Torterra was watching this unfold from the rafters above them, a teenaged Female Torkoal and a male Young Squirtle watched as well-
Torterra: “Hey look guys, we’re about to see a fight, fellas.” -the Torterra young man said whispering, pointing to Tyron, Typhoon and Piratox.-
Torkoal: -in a raspy dry voice- “This may be fun ta see a fight between sum two water types.” -she snickers, looking very intrested in this-
Squirtle: “KICK HIS BUTT, TYPHOON, GOOO TUUURRRTLEESS~!!!” -the little kid says, screaming it out at the top of his lungs, the other two gasps and try to cover his mouth, hoping not to be seen-
Torterra: “Shut up, squirt! We only snuck in here to explore and we had just walked in on this!”
OOC: (I'm guessing this is after they destroyed the FLA Snake HQ and took as many prisoners back to base as they could?)

Owl Commander: “General Otto, we are approaching the enemy’s rear, shall we have charge into the battle?”
-then suddenly, two snake-like vehicles, a fiery bladed red motorbike and a large black and gold 4x4 vehicle jump over the large marching armies of the owls and race ahead of them, them trailing dust and flames as they charge for the Snakes-
Owl Cmdr. “Wh-what was that, that just flew over us?!” -he says in alarm-
-Skales and Acidicus turn to see the all-too-familar vehicles-
Skales: “Oh great, THEY’RE back! Those annoying hybridsssss!!” -he growls, reading his Fang-blade-Serpentine-Staff hybrid weapon (or Fang-Stave), Acidicus doing the same-

Saleem: "I am snake alchemist Saleem al-Yousif! If you wish for an alliance with the Snake Tribe after I conquer it, then fight the owls that are approaching!"
The Eternal Fleet charges across the river to the Snake HQ. The ships fire on the part of the HQ where the throne room is located, while their right laser cannons fire on any Owl vehicles that have come close enough to be in range. Flygon helicopters from the Eternal Fleet's aircraft carriers fly to meet the Owl vehicles head-on.
Othaurus: "I'm afraid I can't answer that, friend, because of how inconsistent alliances are. Your ally in one war could be your greatest enemy in the next. Unless you're speaking in philosophical terms, in which case I suppose everyone's enemy is fear, or lack of conviction? Maybe."

Saleem's POV: Fulcrum: "My Lord, there appear to be owls approaching our right flank from a few miles away."
Saleem: "I see. All ships, prepare your right-facing laser cannons."
Saleem looks down at the shore of the wide river, seeing Skales and Acidicus.
Saleem: "Hail, fellow snakes. Do you, too, wish to remove Queen Sa'Qhala from power?"
Turtles' POV: Tyron walks out in front of the city.
Piratox: "No need for any more words, Tyron. Ready yourself."
The two duelists draw their swords, and circle around each other briefly, before erupting into battle. It's a furious and fast battle, surprising for people of Tyron and Piratox's ages. Just two animals, with one royal sword each, no chi, no other weapons. Eventually, Tyron succeeds in taking off Piratox's arm... only for it to fly through the air and reattach itself like a magnet.
Tyron: "What in Cavora... What have you become, Piratox??"
Piratox: "I don't blame you for being surprised. Heh-heh-ha-ha-ha! As you can see, Tyron, you can't win this duel! Oh, and did I mention it was a duel to the end, in every sense of the word?!"
Tyron (clashing swords with Piratox): "It doesn't have to be, Piratox. There's a way for this duel to end with both of us alive."
Piratox: "What are you taking about?!
Tyron: "I expected something like this, Piratox. You didn't think I would have a trick up my sleeve, in case?"
Piratox: "What?!"
Tyron: "The Turtles earned this not long before you invaded us once more. We figured we wouldn't need to use it yet."
OOIC: Imagine the Avengers theme playing now.
IC: Tyron suddenly pulls a glowing silver orb of chi out of his robe's pocket, quickly plugging it. His clothes are immediately transformed into brilliantly shimmering white and silver Snow Leopard robes, with gold shoulderpads and highlights.
Piratox: "Ice chi?! No—!"
Tyron lunges forward even as Piratox jumps backward, striking Piratox's sword with an ice-cold blade. The Ice quickly spreads up the piranha's arm, and over his body.
Piratox: "NO! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IMMORTAL NOW!!! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IMMOR—!!!!"
The piranha's words are cut short as he's completely frozen over.
Tyron: "It's unfortunate that I had to cheat with special powers, but it's only because he did as well. Piratox, in the name of the Turtle Tribe, I declare you a prisoner of war."
New post:
Soon, Tyron gets in contact with the Piranhas.
Pirex: "Yes, what do you want, Tyron? Ready to surrender your territory to us? I've picked out plenty of nice little islands for your tribe to relocate to! Hah!"
Tyron's thoughts: "Surprising... I thought Pirex was slain. I guess not."
Tyron: "Actually, Pirex, you're not the ones in a position to argue. As you can see, we've captured your king, and thus have won this long drawn-out game."
The camera moves to show the frozen form of Piratox.
Pirex's thoughts: "Augh! Saleem must have revived Piratox to get revenge on me! It's no matter though... looks like the Turtles have taken care of Piratox for me!"
Tyron: "Ice created by ice chi doesn't melt so easily, though we can negotiate for your King's return, if the Piranhas agree to surrender, permanently. Otherwise, your king will suffer a different fate. In other words, the Turtles win either way, but I don't think any of us wish for more great leaders to depart from this world, right?"
Pirex: "I must thank you, Tyron. You've created the perfect scenario for me. I overthrew Piratox, and now you've helped to further my goals. I've taken a photo of the frozen Piratox with my throne room's camera. Now, any piranhas who still aren't loyal to King Pirex will see the weak and pathetic state Piratox has been permanently reduced to by the power of ice chi. Most of them will likely change their allegiances and become loyal to my regime, and any that don't will be stupid enough to charge to your castle to rescue their precious Piratox, only to be gunned down by your tribe's defenses. All enemies that could actually pose a threat to me will be out of the picture, except for you Turtles, who I still will have revenge on for the events of our previous war!"
Tyron's thoughts: "That's right, now that I look closer, Pirex looks a bit... decayed. He must've somehow been revived as well. No wonder he was able to overthrow Piratox."
Tyron: "You are awfully confident, aren't you, Pirex?"
Pirex: "And rightfully so. I'm an immortal king who now has all the cards in my hand, except for ice chi, but a battalion of my finest soldiers are on their way to earn that power as we speak. HAH-HAH-HAH-HA—!"
Tyron cuts off the transmission.
Tyron: "I should've seen something like this coming. Hmm..."
Typhoon: "Your Highness, Pirex was foolish to reveal that last bit of information. We know the fastest route to the Snow Leopards' kingdom. We can send a team to intercept the piranhas, and stop them from earning ice chi, for the time being."
Tyron: "You're right, but Pirex said he sent an entire battalion of his best. We'll need to do the same."
"Classified, hm?" August is a little intrigued. "But no matter. Anyway, we were going to ask you if you were being at all interested in working the Salmon Run shift with us. Or...at least Natalie. She is the only one who has not yet offered to step out."
