A/N: Hey guys! Before this part starts, I encourage you to check out , they've started writing a Splatoon story called 'Press START' which I have been really enjoying. So yeah, check them out!

Some time had passed and the Pulp vs No Pulp Splatfest had started, Octane had become very interested in Turf War and the other game modes.

She left her newly acquired apartment and arrived at the Square. She looked around, it all looked so beautiful, the colours were just mesmerising. She looked up the stage and saw Pearl and Marina performing, it filled her with excitment, she quickly made her way to the terminal

When Octane arrived, she looked at the team choices. She decided on No Pulp without much hesitation, she had tried OJ recently and she found having the pulp in it was rather disgusting. The terminal dispensed the shirt and she put it on.

Octane strolled towards the Deca Tower, still looking around and taking in the view. She then bumped into someone.

Octane: "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

She then looked at who she bumped into. She recognised the disguise immediately, it was Dan. Dan turned to face her.

Dan: "It's fine, don't worry."

Octane: "Heh heh, w-well enjoy the s-splatfest!"

She speedwalked into the Deca Tower, hoping to get away as fast as possible.

Dan: "That was weird."

Octane queued up for a game and superjumped to Wahoo World, when she arrived she managed to calm herself. She had gotten away, hopefully she wouldn't see him again. Octane took her mind off Dan and focused on having fun, this was a Splatfest afterall.

She waited for her teammates to arrive, when they arrived she felt her hearts drop, It was Dan. She turned away, hoping to not attract his attention. The other two teammates then arrived, and then she realised who else was here, Callie.

At this point, Octane was panicking. She couldn't be seen by them, they would have her head. She turned around, and saw Callie and Dan talking with their third teammate.

Dan: "I'm glad you enjoy hanging around with us Olivia."

Olivia: "Well you guys have been so nice, I would rather be you guys than at home."

Callie: "Aw, I told you having friends would be fun Olivia."

Olivia: "Heh, I just feel stupid for trying to close myself off."

Dan: "Don't worry about it, we're just happy to have you here."

Octane: "(Great, so the three of them are friends. Cod I must look so awkward.)"

Dan: "Hey, teammate! Over here!"

Octane turned around, the group seemed to be waiting for her to approach. She took a deep breath and walked over.

Octane: "H-hey guys."

Dan: "Hey! You seem familiar actually, didn't we meet earlier?"

Octane: "Yeah, w-we did."

Callie: "No need to be so nervous, we don't bite!"

Dan: "Hold on, I feel like we've met before..."

Octane: "I-I have no clue what you're t-talking about, we just m-met!"

Dan: "Ah nevermind, my mind is probably just messing with me. Let's just enjoy the Splatfest!"

The Turf War match began and they took off. Octane pulled herself together, she was the former general of the Octarians cod dammit.

The match went pretty well, with Callie and Dan covering each other like before, and Olivia pushing towards their spawn. Octane stayed in the middle, making sure the other team couldn't take control.

Dan watched the mysterious Octoling play, he just couldn't shake the feeling he knew her. He had a suspicion, and he waited until the end of the match to go and confirm it.

The matched ended, and Octane was about to superjump out when she was stopped by Dan.

Dan: "Octane."

Octane looked at Dan with horror. This was it, they had found out. She sighed, and responded.

Octane: "I know what you're thinking Dan, and I'm sorry. I really am a horrible person."

Dan: "Do you mean it?"

Octane: "What?"

Dan: "The apology, do you mean it?"

Octane: "Of course!"

Dan: "Then I don't care what you've done. It's clear to me that the Inkantation had an effect on you, and it's also clear that you want to change for the better."

Octane: "But, Dan..."

Dan: "Octane, I've been where you are before. After I nearly killed my own sister, I couldn't forgive myself for my actions. I let those emotions build up and I just hated myself. But everyone that cared for me pushed me forward, they helped me. Don't do what I did, let us help you Octane."

Tears were rolling down Octane's face, Dan walked over and hugged her. She started crying, and Dan was quietly reassured her that everything was okay.

Callie and Olivia had just walked over and saw the situation, they didn't approach until everything had calmed down.

Callie: "What's going on Dan? Is she okay?"

Dan: "Yeah yeah, she's fine. Octane just needed some reassurance that's all."

Callie: "Wait, Octane?!"

Dan: "Yeah, they heard the inkantation and they wanted to change for the better."

Callie: "Well in that case, good to see you Octane!"

Octane: "Y-yeah, good to see you again Callie."

Olivia watched Octane. While she wants to believe she's willing to change, Olivia wanted to make sure she was trustworthy first. She decided to keep an eye on her.

Callie: "Oh, you probably want to meet our friend, this is Olivia!"

Octane approached and offered a handshake.

Octane: It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Olivia shook her hand.

Olivia: "Yeah, right back at you."

Octane: "Hmm...I recognise you from somewhere."

Olivia: "If you're thinking of the Squidbeak Splatoon then you would be correct."

Octane: "Ah, so you're one of the agents?"

Olivia: "Yeah, Agent 3."

"PLEASE MAY ALL PARTICIPANTS LEAVE THE AREA, A NEW ROUND OF TURF WAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!"

Dan: "Well that's our cue. You wanna come with us Octane?"

Octane: "I mean if it's okay to."

Callie: "Of course! Come on let's go!"

Callie superjumped out of the area, the rest of them then followed. Going on to play more Turf War matches for the rest of the night.
