Intro:

(Azazel's POV)

It was morning here in Osaka, and myself and Minai are snuggling closely together in our sleep. Minai was the first to wake up. She yawned whilst awakening. At the same time as she woke up, I also begin to wake up.

Azazel: Morning, Minai.

Minai: Morning, Azazel.

Azazel: I liked our time we spend together yesterday. We should do it again soon.

Minai: Yeah, Hehe. Let's do that again sometime~

Azazel: I'll walk out so I can let you change, Minai.

Minai: Okay, hehe.

I walked out of our room so I be modest and give her some privacy. Eventually, Minai changed into her clothes and went out of the room.

Azazel: So, you wanna do something together?

Minai: Sure, hehe.

Azazel: Alright, let's-

I got a notification on my phone for something, so I checked it and was surprised.

Azazel: Oh that's right, I forgot it was today.

Minai: Wh-

Aina: That it's Alice's birthday~!

Minai: Oh, hey there~

Azazel: Can you keep it down, Aina? We don't want to let Alice know about the surprise. *I whispered to her*

Aina: Sorry, hehe. I'm so excited for Alice-chan's birthday~

Azazel: So what do you have in mind to give to Alice?

Aina: Well.. Hmm. I thought of giving her things that she likes. Including flowers and chocolates.

Azazel: Yeah, that would be nice. Well, I was hoping you, Marina and Luna can make something for Alice as a birthday present.

Aina: I see.

I gave her the schematics for the gift they plan to make for Alice.

Aina: Hmm, I see. I'll give this to Luna and Marina~

---

(Marina's POV)

Aina proceeds to casually walk in the direction of the pair.

Marina: Oh hi, Aina. *She hugs her*

Luna: Heya, Aina!

Aina: Heya, Luna and Marina~! *She giggles and hugs Marina back*

Marina: Say... what are those schematics in your hands, Aina?

Aina: It's the stuff that Azazel wanted to make for Alice.

Marina: Hmm.... let's see.

She looks at the schematics and was amazed by the design of this.

Marina: This is the first time I'm working with a Highlyoni design... but I think I can make this. You two up to help me?

Aina: Sure.

Luna: Sure, Marina-chan.

---

They go into what appears to be Luna laboratory to work on this design.

Aina: Ooo. This is nice.

Marina: This is a lot better than my lab back in Inkopolis.

Luna: I see. The Conglomerate helped me make this. Good thing I authorized you, Marina, to come in since we're in the alpha base "fortress island".

Marina: Thanks for that, Luna. It would've been a nightmare if I wasn't authorized.

Luna: Yeah, you'd probably be in danger since the Conglomerate don't tolerate unauthorized people in restricted places.

Marina: Have they forgotten that I'm quite a known hacker as well?

Luna: Hmm, I see.

Marina: Should we get to work, girls?

Luna: Sure, hehe.

Aina: Yep.

They go on to work on planning the design as I put into the schematics and work hard on figuring out the Highlyoni design and making it work.

Luna: Alright, so.. this is the thing you put onto this side?

Marina: I think it is.... man, I never thought Highlyoni designs would be this complex.

Luna: Yeah, and I thought the Conglomerate is this hard.. Since they are slowly transitioning to pla- *She shuts her mouth*

Marina: Hmm?

Luna: Nothing!

Marina: Okay?... Next is to... what? Aina, can you read this? I can't understand Highlyoni.

Aina: Hmmm...

She began to read it, and it says to apply powerful cables to the contraption at the arms.

Marina: I see then...

Luna: I see..

Marina: Are you sure these cables will work? *She held out micro-weave cables made from elementium*

Luna: I'm sure they'll work.

Marina: Let's try it.

She went on to apply the cables to the arms, and to say it was difficult is an understatement.

Luna: Aight,

Luna helped Marina out with the cables whilst Aina read the Highlyoni language from the paper.

---

---

After so much hard work was put into it, they finally attached the cables to the arms.

Marina: Phew.... that was so much work to do. *She wipes the sweat from her forehead*

Luna: Yeah... *She wiped her forehead to remove the sweat*

Aina: Yay! Y'all did it!

Marina gave Aina a "Really" face as she busted her ass off for this task. Luna also gave Aina a "Really" face just like Marina.

Aina: Hehe.

Marina: This next part should be easy, we just have to bolt the sight in.

Luna: Yeah.

They go on to add the sight onto the contraption and once they were done, they finished working on it. If you couldn't tell already, they were working on a bow since Alice loves archery.

Aina: That looks amazing.

Luna: Looks like a simple bow, but eh.

Marina tried pulling on the bow, but it was too heavy for her to pull back.

Marina: What the? Why is it so heavy?

Aina: I'll get it!

She tried pulling on the bow, but failed miserably.

Luna: Damn.. Alice must be strong to do such a thing.

Marina: I'll bet she can pull it back.

Luna: Yeah.

Marina: Good thing we can make the case for the bow and wrap it up like a Squidmas present.

Luna: Yeah.

Suddenly, a Conglomerate officer came and walks towards Luna.

Luna: Hmm?

Marina: What the?

Officer: Ma'am, the Conglomerate wants to see if you'll approve of this.

The Octoling officer gave the paper to Luna to which she began to examine it.

Luna: Interesting..

Marina: Hmm... this looks intriguing.

Luna: Yeah.

Officer: It's been said that utilizes pulsed induction fields to propel lethal micro-bursts of plasma over long ranges. it has a range and damage output that outclasses the standard weapons of every nation in the world.

Marina: I don't know about that.... Azazel tells me that Highlyon is always improving their weapons and other things to stay away in terms of technology.

Luna: Well, whatever they say. Imma approve of this and test it out later.

Officer: Yes, ma'am. We have other things to give you, but I'm needed somewhere important.

Luna: Alright. You're dismissed.

The officer salutes and walks out of the lab.

Marina: Luna... what was that thing you were going to mention as we were working on this bow?

Luna: Hmm?

Marina: To me, it sounded like you were gonna say something about planets.

Luna: I'm planning on a space mission.

She points to a board that specifies the rocket that's being built and the moon and how they're going to get to it. Marina broke down in excitement as a result.

Marina: Oooh~ Luna, can I come with you~? I've always wanted to go to space as a little girl~ Can we go together, please~?

Luna: Hehe, sure. I'm also inviting your friends if they wanna come, hehe.

Marina: Eeeeeeeee~ *She hugs Luna*

Luna: Hehe. *She hugs her back*

Marina: I've heard something about a joint space program from Azazel, but I can't remember when he told me about it.... or maybe it was his mother that told me about it on Squidmas.

Luna: I see. I made a space program too, but kept it from the public until the rocket is ready.

Marina: Yeah, I remember Vereesa telling me about how only her most trusted advisors know about it and not everyone else.

Luna: I see.

Marina: Good thing that only a few trusted people know about it.

Luna: Yep. I've also been planning on changing the Conglomerate to something else.. But, imma do it later.

Marina: Let's just hope that a spy isn't hearing about this.

Luna: Yeah.

But little did they know, a Mimic Octoling spy did gain the intel they spoke off and secretly transmitted it back to the Octarian Empire while being 100% concealed.

Mimic Octoling: Octavio would love to hear about this... *She said to herself before activating her cloaking device*

Luna: What was that?

Marina: No idea, but it gives me the hibbie jibbies...

Luna: I see..

Aina: Hmmm...

Marina: Uh... let's work on getting Alice some other gifts while we're at it.

Luna: Okay.

Marina: I wonder how the others are doing in terms of getting gifts for Alice.

Luna: Yeah.

Aina: Same here.

---

---

(Azazel's POV)

The rest of us are doing some shopping to get Alice some gifts for her birthday.

Juvia: I wonder what Alice would like for her birthday.

Jaina: Luckily, I know what Alice would really like.

Homura: Yeah. 

Akari: Yeah. *Pearl was riding Akari's shoulders*

Aimi: Yeah~! *She was riding on Callie's shoulders*

Momiji: Well, we have two piggyback riders, Rie..

Marie: That is true, Momi.

Pearl: Hey, it's fun when Akari does this, yo.

Callie: And it's nice with Aimi like this.

Diana: I just hope that Alice would like the gifts we got planned to give to her.

Azazel: She will, Diana.

Momiji: Mhm.

Akari: Heh.

Aimi: Hehe~  

Homura: Yeah. *She kept close to Diana as she walked*

As we continue to walk, we got 3 Inklings watching us from a distance with 2 of them wearing the Hero Suits that Diana wears minus the cloak, plus one is wearing the Hero Suit that I wear.

???: Hey, Orange. Isn't that Marie walking by them?

Orange: Yeah. It seems that she's there with them, Blue.

Blue: But who are the others walking with them?

???: I can see that Agent 3 is with them.

Blue: You got that right, Yellow.

Yellow: I can't wait to pull a prank on her once she sees us again.

Orange: Always going on with pranking Agent 3, Yellow.

Marie: Huh... I thought you guys were better at hiding. 

We were standing right behind them.

Momiji: Uhhh.. what're y'all talking about?

They turn around to talk to Marie.

Blue: Oh hey, Marie. We're just doing our mission like you told us.

Orange: Yeah, we got all sorts of data on Mafia and Octarian involvement here.

Yellow: And let's just say it's not pretty. And you better expect something from me, Diana.

Diana: Pfff. As if you could do any worthless prank on me.

Yellow had steam coming out of her head in anger.

Callie: Now now, let's not get too out of control there, Agents.

Aimi: Who're they?

Marie: They're elite Agents within the New Squidbeak Splatoon meant for top secret missions that the other Agents are not meant to undertake. Introduce yourselves, Agent.

They stood in a single file line as they introduce themselves.

Logan: The name's Logan Queen, aka Agent Blue.

Sabrina: I am Sabrina Wallace, better known as Agent Orange

Here we have both Agent Blue and Agent Orange right here.

Lisanna: And I am Lisanna Christian, for I am Agent Yellow.

Akari: Nice to meet ya.

Momiji: Yeah.

Callie: How're things with Sabrina, Logan?

Logan: Oh, uh... our relationship is doing great, Callie.

Sabrina: And I am happy that he's such a sweetheart to me. *They share a kiss*

Aimi: Ship!!

Akari: Ha!

Homura: Heh.

Marie: They've taken great progress in their relationship after they finished high school 2 years ago, around the time I recruited Diana into the New Squidbeak Splatoon as Agent 3.

They broke off the kiss.

Lisanna: So I take it that you must be Agent 4 then, huh? *She said to me*

Azazel: Uh.. yeah, that would be correct.

Diana: Just expect some bad pranks from her.

Lisanna: Take that back, whore!

They got into a cartoonish brawl.

Homura: Haha, go Diana!

Momiji: Heh.

Marie: Yeah, they always fight like this.

Pearl: And here I thought it was wild with us brawling, yo.

Diana: You're not left out, half-pint!

Lisanna: Try us, flat tits!

Pearl had an anime anger mark on her head.

Pearl: You take that back, assholes!

She gets off Akari's shoulders and gets into the brawl. Akari started to laugh at them in the style of Scout back in the TF2 world.

Momiji: That's gotta hurt.

Nakano: Man, look at that.

Marie taps her bamboo cane on the floor and this terrified Logan and Sabrina since they know how terrifying Marie is when she's angry.

Marie: Stop fighting, you two. *She said in a cold tone*

This stops the girls in the brawl out of fear.

Lisanna/Pearl/Diana: Yes, ma'am...

Akari: Aww, c'mon.

Nakano: Heh, this reminds me when I'm inspecting my division.

Sabrina: Marie does this a lot whenever Diana and Lisanna fight, and it is terrifying...

Logan: Note to self; don't get on Marie's bad side...

They were shaking so badly as a result of this and were sweating just as badly.

Akari: I see.

Bordeaux: Uh...

Logan: So you must be Agent 8 that Cap'n was telling us about.

Sabrina: Aww, she's so cute~ *She hugs Bordeaux*

Lisanna: Ain't she a cute little Octo.

Bordeaux: Hehe~

Nakano: She is adorable.

Logan: Say, you guys are going somewhere, right?

Azazel: We're getting presents for my sister's birthday.

Sabrina: Hey, can we come with you guys?

Marie: The more the merrier, Agents.

Nakano: Yeah, we already have a group.. wait, how many of us here?

Azazel: Well....

I counted myself, the Squid Sisters, Pearl, Diana, Bordeaux, Juvia, Jaina, Logan, Sabrina, Lisanna, Cap'n Cuttlefish, Momiji, Aimi, Nakano, Homura, Minai, Davina, Madison, Lina, Harriet, Emilia, Elise, Kaylee, Scarlett, and Lisa. The only ones who're not with us are Aina, Luna, Marina, and Alice.

Nakano: Wow, this friend group just grew to a size of a military platoon..

Azazel: You can say that again, Nakano.

Nakano: Man, I remember the time where I used to be a Lieutenant and commanded a platoon back then.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Time changes for all of us, lass. Believe this from an old war veteran like myself.

Nakano: Heh, I can already tell.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I've lost many friends during the Great Turf War... even had a close friendship with Octavio before he took matters into his own hands and started the war 100 years ago. He said it was for the greater good for the Octarians, since the Inklings were taking all of the land from them. I remember telling him about how my wife was pregnant with Callie and Marie's mothers, and he congratulated me and my wife. That was a great memory...

Nakano: I see...

Callie: Hey, can we do some shopping now? We gotta get our gifts for Alice.

Marie: Callie, you have more money than I can count.

Aimi: Yeah.

We go on to buy many gifts for Alice, and this must've taken us at least 1.5 hours because we got a lot of gifts.

Aimi: This is a lot of gifts.

Azazel: Yeah, my mother promised her that she would live a luxurious life.

Momiji: I see.

Azazel: Now the question is; how are we gonna get all of these gifts back to the skyscraper without Alice knowing?

Aimi: Hmmm...

Azazel: Damn.... this is gonna be difficult.

Momiji: Yeah.

Marie: Hmmm... maybe we can bring some Conglomerate transport to bring the gifts back to the skyscraper and wrap them in secret.

Nakano: Under the authorization of me, of course.

Marie: Yes, that would be ideal for us to keep them away from Alice until the timing is right.

Momiji: Mhm.

Azazel: I'm sure that Marina along Aina and Luna must be working on Alice's gift quite nicely, Minai.

Minai: Yeah.

Azazel: Shall we all head back to the skyscraper, everyone?

All of them: Yeah.

Nakano called in Conglomerate transports to bring Alice's gifts and us back to the skyscraper, all under her supervision.

---

After a while, Conglomerate supply trucks arrived and the Division started to gather their gifts for them.

Nakano: Move it! Move it! Move it! Hustle up! C'mon!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Ah, this brings me back to my days in boot camp.

Marie: Come on, Gramps. We don't need you to tell us about it.

Nakano: Hmm?

Marie: He always tells me and Callie about the unnecessary stories from his days in the Inkling Army that we don't need to know about, but he does give us a good idea on the hell he went through.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Let me tell you all a little story; So this brings me back to boot camp, the squad house had these cheap broke-ass bunks. The Inkling Army probably bought them secondhand from Splacatraz or some other hellhole. Anyways, the mattress was about as thick as your freaking finger and it sat right on top of an old-ass metal frame of half rusted bed springs. So, I wake up early one morning, swing my legs onto the ice cold floor and try to remember what the biggest problem of the day is. I don't know it yet, but my biggest problem is the fact that the crappy mattress is no longer covering the springs near the side of the bed. Drill sergeant stomps in and yells "Lights, lights, lights!", we all snap to our feet. Now, I don't know how much you all know about physics, but when your body weights on a bed, those springs are all stretched out. When that weight is removed, they snap shut like a landshark trap. It took me a minute to process what had happened, but that is why you always, always wear shorts... even more important when you get older.

Nakano: I see...

Pearl: Oooh..... that's gotta hurt.

Logan: Yeah, I don't want to imagine that happening to my junk...

All of us: Mhm.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Could someone help this old man out of the truck?

Momiji: I will.

She began to help Cap'n Cuttlefish out of the truck.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Aren't you the kind lass, Momiji.

Momiji: I am, Cap'n Cuttlefish.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: Just stick with calling me Gramps.

Momiji: Okay, Gramps.

Marie: Here, let me help you out, Gramps.

She also helps out Cap'n Cuttlefish alongside Momiji.

Momiji: Thanks, Marie.

Marie: Always happy to help out, Momiji.

Momiji smiled at Marie, to which Marie smiled back at Momiji. Momiji continues to smile at Marie... that is, until Callie interrupted them.

Callie: Are you two gonna kiss or something?

Marie was blushing as red as a tomato as this point.

Aimi: Yeah.

Momiji was blushing as red as a firetruck at this point. This causes Callie and Aimi to laugh their heads off as they embarrassed Marie and Momiji so much to where they covered their faces with their hands.

Marie: This is so embarrassing...

Momiji: Yeah...

Callie: Marie and Momiji sitting in a tree!

Momiji: Don't...

Aimi: K I S S I N G!

Callie and Aimi continue to laugh at them to embarrass them more.

Momiji: Why do we have such relatives...

Marie: I ask myself that all the time...

Momiji: Great minds think the same, I guess...

Marie: You can say that again, Momiji...

They continue to laugh at them until Cap'n Cuttlefish taps his cane on the floor.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: You two better stop laughing at them, or I'm gonna teach you all a lesson.

Aimi: Okay, Gramps...

Momiji: Thanks, Gramps..

Marie: You really saved us from that embarrassing mess, Gramps.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I might give Callie a 2 week ban on pancakes for this.

This causes Callie to break down in fear.

Callie: No! Anything but that, Gramps!

Aimi: Please! Let Callie have her pancakes! *She hugs onto Callie in fear*

Marie: You promise to not embarrass me and Momiji like that?

Callie nods her head rapidly out of being so terrified. Aimi nods her head rapidly out of being terrified as well.

Momiji: Good.

Nakano: Alright, boys and girls, let's get this thing on a roll!

All of us: Aye!

We all got out of the truck.

Nakano: Okay, good... finally.

Callie: So.. how are we gonna hide the presents from Alice?

Juvia: Yeah, I thought the same thing as well.

Momiji: Well, hide them where she doesn't expect it.

Marie: Do you have good ideas for hiding them, Momiji?

Momiji: Well.. 

She tells us the perfect place to hide them.

Azazel: Yeah, that makes sense on hiding the gifts. But the problem is getting Alice to not see where they're gonna be hidden. We want to keep it a surprise.

Momiji: Yeah.

Nakano: Good thing I know how to hide stuff since I'm an experienced ambusher.

Bordeaux: Ooh... that sounds cool.

Aimi: Yep.

Lisanna: So, let's hide everything and get ready for the party~!

All of us: Okay~!

We go inside the skyscraper to hide everything from Alice with the help of Nakano and Momiji.

Aimi: This'll be so exciting~

Callie: You said it, Aimi~

Aimi: Hehe~

Momiji: Hey look, Aimi and Callie is having a moment together.

Marie: Hey, Callie. You two gonna make out?

Callie: Wha?! *She blushed as red as a tomato

Aimi: What the?! *She began to blush*

Momiji: How does it feel?

Marie: Payback's a bitch, Callie.

Marie and Momiji laugh at Callie and Aimi as they are so embarrassed from the payback.

Callie: This isn't funny, Marie!!

Aimi: That's not funny!!

Cap'n Cuttlefish: This.. is fine.

Marie: Glad you agree on that, Gramps.

She continues to laugh at Aimi and Callie alongside Momiji.

Momiji: Haha~!

Aimi: Stop!

Marie: Haha~!

Callie: Stop it!

Momiji: Hehe~ 

Aimi: Hmph!

Callie: Hmph!

Marie: We showed them how we do it, Momiji.

Momiji: Yep.

Alice comes out to see what the noise was all about.

Alice: Uh.. what's going on?

Luckily for us, she doesn't see the gifts since they're hidden incredibly well.

Momiji: Oh hey, Alice!

All of them: Heya.

Alice: What just happe-

I begin to move Alice back to her and Aina's room.

Azazel: Come on, Alice. There's nothing to see here.

Alice: But I... alright, I'll head back to my room. But can you give me a snack?

Azazel: Sure. Does anyone have a snack that Alice can have?

Nakano: Yep.

Alice: Do you have Hot Cheetos around here, Nakano?

Nakano: I do. *She tossed her a bag*

Alice: Thank you. *She gives her a heart-melting smile*

Nakano: Don't mention it.

Alice heads back to her room to have her snack and watch some videos on her phone.

Azazel: That was a little... close.

They all nodded.

Azazel: Should we all collab on making the food for the party?

Momiji: I think you should do it.

Azazel: Very well then. Can you tell me what you all want me to make?

All of them: Uhhh...

Azazel: Take your time, it's okay.

Nakano: We.. have nothing. Just think of something.

Azazel: Alrighty then. I'll make something on the fly as I cook.

I head to the kitchen to prepare making the food.

Nakano: Okay, good.

Momiji: Have fun!

Azazel: Indeed I will, Momiji.

---

(Marie's POV)

Momiji: Alright.

Nakano: Hmm..

Aimi: So, Yellow, Orange, and Blue, welcome to our home.

Logan: This is really cool around here.

Sabrina: Sure is a lot better then the apartment the 3 of us share back in Inkopolis.

Lisanna: Ha! That is true right there.

Aimi: Well, feel free to live here! Since you're living in the K/DA home anyways.

Logan: Thanks for giving us a place to stay here.

Sabrina: We'll make here to do our part in keeping the place clean.

Lisanna: This is gonna be so fresh.

Aimi: Yeah, hehe. Don't worry about patrolling and stuff in this city, the Conglomerate got it covered. I hope Aina doesn't mind hehe.

Pearl: Speaking of Aina... where is she alongside Luna and Marina, yo?

Aimi: They ha-

Aina: You guys sure like ignoring us..

Marina: Hey, guys~

Pearl: Glad to see you're back, yo~

She hugs Marina, to which Marina hugs her back.

All of them: Aww~

Marina: We got our gift for Alice ready, and I do say... it was incredibly difficult to work with a Highlyoni design to the point where we couldn't do it if Aina wasn't there to help us.

Aina: Yeah, hehe.

Luna: Mhm.

Marie: That's... something. Can you help them with putting the gift in the spot, Nakano?

Nakano: Meh, sure.

Nakano goes on to place the wrapped up bow by where the rest of the presents are.

Marina: Thanks for the help, Nakano.

Nakano: No prob.

Marina smells the air and was greeted by an amazing smell.

Marina: That smells so good~

Aimi: Yep~

Azazel: I hope you guys are hungry for a feast. *I said in the kitchen*

Aimi: This guy sure love feasts, hehe~

Jaina: It's how the House of Lionheart eats alongside the nobles at dinner time, a feast fit for a king like his father and their ancestors.

Nakano: I see.

Jaina: It gets crazy when noticeable guests arrive at Highlyon.

Nakano: Hmm..

Jaina: But that's how I've come to know my Azazie very well, since the Heartfilia family is a well respected noble family.

Nakano: I see.

She then gets a call from the Conglomerate.

Jaina: I wonder what this is about... *She said to herself*

Nakano: Hmm? Some Intel caught? Idk... However, keep my division in check.. Bro, I can't keep paying for shit!

Jaina: What happened, Nakano?

Nakano: Intel missing, my division is doing something, and they want me to pay some thousand dollars for fucking tanks.

Callie: How about I give you some money to cover that, Nakano?

Nakano: Thanks.

Callie goes on to transfer enough money to Nakano for the tanks.

Callie: And there you go, Nakano.

Nakano: Thank ya, Callie.  

Momiji: Hmm, I'm thinking of joining the Conglomerate one day.

Callie: That's what friends are for, Nakano.

Marie: Oh my God, same. I did have thoughts on joining the Conglomerate.

The rest of the Agents agreed with Marie, including myself.

Nakano: Really?

Callie: Of course, Nakano. We're all best friends here. *She hugs her*

Nakano: I feel like Callie is being attracted to me.

Aimi: Hehe.

Nakano: I'll show y'all how to join soon.

Callie: Thanks, Nakano. *She breaks off the hug*

Marie: This should be interesting for when we join soon.

Nakano: Yeah. Soon enough, you'll be leader your own fireteam or corp.

Momiji: Yeah.

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I do hope that it would easier for me to join... if that's possible.

Marie: Yeah. Wherever the New Squidbeak Splatoon goes, the Cap'n goes with us. This is the way.

Nakano: Hmm.. You can join, just that we need to figure out a role for ya...

Cap'n Cuttlefish: I imagine it won't be hard on me since I am about 130 years old at this point, and I gotta keep myself as healthy if I want to continue to live a long life.

Nakano: I see. But why do y'all want to join?

Marie: It is our duty to protect everyone and give hope to those in their darkest times. That's why we fight for truth, justice, and freedom. That's why we don't back down in a fight. That's why we are the New Squidbeak Splatoon.

Nakano: Hmm, i see. Y'all will be dangerous enemies and opponents. For example, terrorists, enemy species, and maybe even alien invasions if that happens.

Diana: That sure sounds like a good opportunity for us.

Nakano: Huh..

Bordeaux: Who could've stolen that intel?

Luna: I don't know.. I wonder who stole it.

Juvia: It could've been a Mimic Octoling or some other species...

Nakano: I see...

Juvia: Since they have the ability to shapeshift into other people and species, it's possible that one of them must've infiltrated the Conglomerate under the orders of the Octarian Empire. I know this well from the military academy I went to when they abducted me as I was a 6 year old girl at the time.

Luna: Hmm, I see

Jaina: Isn't it particularly cruel to abduct kids into the military at such a young age?

Luna: Yep. Oh! Marina, tell 'em what's gonna happen.

Marina: Oh! She is going on a space mission to the moon, and she invited all of us! Eeeeee~!

She hops up and down in excitement and this causes her boobs to bounce.

Luna: Yep.

Azazel: Huh... I've always wanted to be the first man to go to space. Well... first cephalopod man to go to space, since the first man to go to space was a human 13,000 years ago.

Luna: I see. Well, y'all are invited.

Marie: Thanks, Luna. This is gonna be so cool to see the Earth from orbit.

Luna: Yeah.

Juvia: Man, when is the food gonna be done?

Azazel: In a bit, Juvia. I had the cake already made yesterday, with the purpose of letting the Italian meringue get better a day later.

Aimi: Good, because I'm hungry!

Momiji: Yeah  

Akari: Hmm.. *She puts Pearl on her shoulders*

Callie: Ooh~ Meringue... that must taste good.

Marie: I hope is does, Callie.

Pearl: Can't wait to have some food, yo~ *She said while on Akari's shoulders*

Aimi: Yeah, Callie. Hehe~

Akari: Yep~

After a while of cooking, this is what I made:

~~~~~~
Grilled rabbit
Fugu sashimi
Caviar
Garlic chips
Unagi
Sushi
Mashed baked potatoes
Garlic naan
Grilled veggies
5 cheese mac n' cheese
Japanese rice w/ Kobe beef
Chocolate cake w/ Italian meringue
~~~~~~

I placed the food on the table and put them all on plates. I also went on to light the candle that says "19" on it, since it's her 19th birthday.

Momiji: Time to get Alice.

Azazel: We'll have Aina get her, and let's all hide in squid/octopus form.... but how are they gonna hide? *I motioned towards the PS 2 girls*

Madison: We know how to hide heh..

(Alice's POV)

Aina went to knock on Alice's door.

Alice: Who is it?

Aina: It's your closest and dearest friend! Aina, hehe~

Alice: Come in, Aina.

Aina opens the door and hugs Alice.

Aina: Heya, Alice-chan.

Alice: H-heya, Aina-chan.... I'm slowly getting used to you calling me Alice-chan. *She had a slight blush on her face*

Aina: I see.

Alice: What do you want to talk about, Aina?

Aina: I wanna show you something.

Alice: Oh? What is it, Aina?

Aina: You'll see.

She held her hand and led her to the living room. The first thing that Alice sees is darkness expect for a very dim light coming from the candles.

Alice: What the?...

Aina: Don't worry, hehe.

As they move further and Aina blends into the darkness, the lights suddenly turn on and all of us appeared out of nowhere.

All of us: Surprise! Happy birthday, Alice!

Alice: Wha?! *She was trying so hard to process what just happened*

Aina: Surprise ~! *She pounced on her and cuddled with her*

Azazel: You didn't think we'd forget about your birthday, Alice?

Alice: You remembered my birthday, Big Brother... *She cuddles with Aina*

Aina: Hehe~

Azazel: You wanna blow out your candles, Alice?

Alice: Sure, hehe~

Aina gets off of her to let her blow the candles.

As Alice goes over towards the candles, she blows them out.

Azazel: What did you wish for, Alice?

Alice: I wished that... we can all live happily as one big family. *She giggles*

All of us: Awww~

She hugs all of us, to which we all hug her back.

Azazel: You want to see your presents, Alice?

Alice: Oh boy, do I~?

Aina: Hehe~

We go over to where the presents are at and she asked for them one at a time. Each person gave Alice her gifts until Aina gave her a present that resembled a bow.

Alice: Aina... this present...

She opens it and was shocked to see that she got a bow.

Alice: It's beautiful... *She started to cry*

Aina: Thanks, hehe~

Alice hugs onto her and sheds her tears of joy.

Alice: I love it, Aina-chan~! Thank you so much~!

Aina: No problem, Alice-chan~! *She hugs her back*

Azazel: Hey, Alice...

Alice: Hmm?

I handed her a bouquet of roses.

Azazel: You remember when you almost touched the thorns on the roses when we were kids?

Alice: Yeah... that was a great memory.

She lets go of Aina and we embrace in a hug.

Aina: Aww~

Callie: That's so cute... *She started to cry*

Juvia: It's so nice to be in the comfort of family again.

Nakano: Mhm.

Bordeaux: Yay~! *She hugs Madison*

Madison: You sure like hugging me.

Bordeaux: You're so warm and cuddly~ *She continues to cuddle her*

Madison: Heh, and you like to be close to me.

Marina: It feels so nice to hug humans. *She hugs Kaylee*

Kaylee: Awww~

Diana: They are so warm after all. *She hugs Davina*

Davina: Heh.

Myself and Alice broke off our hug and went to the PS 2 girls.

Azazel: That is true, Diana. Humans are warm and cuddly. *I hug Lina*

Alice: They sure are nice to us. *She hugs Harriet*

PS 2 girls: Awwww~

Logan: Heh... never thought I would see humans in my life.

Sabrina: It's an amazing sights and how friendly these girls are.

Logan and Sabrina hug each other and shared a kiss.

Momiji: That's sure a lovely couple.

Marie: It really is, Momiji. *She hugs her*

Momiji: Awww, Marie, you shouldn't have. *She hugs her back*

Pearl: This is so nice around here, yo. *She hugs Akari*

Akari: Hehe. *She hugs Pearl back*

Callie: Aimi... this is too wholesome. Please, hug me. *She hugs Aimi*

Aimi: Sure, Callie~ *She hugs her back*

Alice: It's like I'm part of a big family here... I love you all~! *She hugs all of us*

We all hugged Alice back as we enjoyed her embrace. She sheds her tears of joy as we all hug her.

Aina: Hehe~

Alice: Should we all have our dinner?

Aina: Yep.

We all go over to the table to eat the food.

Azazel: Itadakimasu. *I started to eat the food*

All of us: Itadakimasu! *We began to dig into our food*

Azazel: How's the food, everyone?

All of them: Great!

Azazel: That's great to hear.

Lina: Mhm.

Azazel: Hey, girls. Do you have something you want to talk to me after dinner? *I said to the PS 2 girls*

Madison: Hmmm.. I don't know.

Davina: Yeah, we got nothing.

Azazel: Alrighty then. If you want to talk to me in private about something, let me know.

Lina: Okay.

After we had finished eating the food, I washed our dishes and put them away.

Alice: That was so good, Big Brother.

Aina: Hehe, that was good.

Azazel: Does anyone know what time it is?

Aina: I don't know..

Azazel: Well, is it dark outside?

Momiji: Yep.

Azazel: That tell me that we should probably head to bed.

Aina: Meh, K/DA usually stay up at midnight but imma stay with Alice-chan.

Alice: Thanks, Aina. *She hugs her*

Aina: No problem. *She hugs her back*

Azazel: You wanna do some streaming or do you wanna head to bed with me, Minai?

Minai: Hmm, I'll head to bed with you.

Azazel: Alrighty then. Goodnight, everyone.

All of them: Goodnight!

Myself and Minai went into our bedroom where I changed into my PJs and climbed into the bed.

Minai: Hehe, today was a fun day.

Azazel: It sure was, Minai.

Minai: Mhm.

I share a deep, passionate kiss with Minai, to which she shared the kiss with me. After a while now, I broke off for air.

Azazel: Goodnight, my sweet Minai.

Minai: Goodnight, hun.

She fell asleep whilst snuggling with me. As she fell asleep whilst snuggling with me, I also fell asleep as we snuggled with each other. As I continue to sleep with Minai, my mind has never been at this level of peace.... I can slowly begin to heal from my trauma. She continued sleeping until she climbed on top of me and plants her boobs in my face. It's a strange feeling, but a welcome one since she's a succubus and I'm fine with it.
