Month: January.
Day: 21.
Time: 5 PM.

A sigh was heard...

"...Another day, another chance to question why I haven't paid for my actions in the Great Turf War..." A deep, masculine, voice said, sounding, surprisingly, like it was underwater, but only vaguely...

The owner of the voice, a being cloaked in shadow at the time, got up from it's makeshift bed in his home, hidden in the (sort of) desolate city of Ceph.

The owner of the voice then walked out of its bedroom and, after lighting the lantern in it's living room, got rid of the shadows keeping its appearance a secret...

The being was obviously male, with a masculine stature and about 4 or 5 feet tall, taller than most of the two species he associates himself with, but, his eyes were mismatched, along with his hair... if you could call it hair, that is.

His "hair" were tentacles, with two big ones of different shapes and sizes on both sides of his head, with smaller tentacles on his head, as well, but, every tentacle was short, with the big ones reaching his neck and only his neck, and each of them were purple and were sometimes different shades of purple.

His eyes, however, were the most intriguing. With one eye having a yellow-greenish sclera with purple irises and a purple ring around it, and the other eye being a shade of purple, with a sort of black marking, looking like a mask, surrounding his eye, but it did not surround the one with the purple ring around it...

He signed and lit up the other lanterns, as he then went into the next room.

The sounds of something being moved and the shuffling of items was heard, before the male came back out, wearing a futuristic, robotic outfit, with a bright strip of (many shades of) purple/magenta as the eyes of the outfit's helmet.

The male then went to the couch in his living room and turned on the nearby TV.

The sound of a short jingle was heard, making the male smile slightly, before two females appeared on the screen, with one being black and pink and the other being white and green...

... These two females were the "Squid Sisters", Callie, the black and pink one, and Marie, the white and green one.

"Hold onto your tentacles..." Callie says, before Marie adds "... It's Inkopolis News Time!"

"Well, let's see what's new on the News." The male said, his voice now sounding more robotic than before, thanks to the helmet of his outfit.

"However, instead of listing the usual..." Callie says, as Marie then adds "... A special announcement has come up from the Inkling and Octarian researchers of the Kelp Dome!"

...This caught the male's attention rather quickly...

"Inkling Professor Dr. Veninkzuela and Octarian Professor Dr. Octogenario have come with groundbreaking news about a discovery of our two species becoming one!" Marie said, as Callie added "And, they say that the first hybrid of our two species is somewhere on the planet!"

...And now the male was worried.

"And that's not all! They say that this hybrid was brought into the world 2 and a half years into the Great Turf War, the war between us Inklings and the Octarians, led by (former) General Octavio and Emperor Octurias at the time." Callie said, before Marie said "And, that this hybrid fought for the Octarians way back then!"

"Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit..." He began to say, panicking... how the hell did they find the lab that he was made in!?

"So, we Inklings and Octarians are going to search for this hybrid and bring it back into society!" Callie said, doing a fistpump into the air, before Marie said "And, we have narrowed down the location of the hybrid- the desolate city of Ceph-", before the male growled in anger and turned the TV off...

...so, they were going to hunt him down, were they? Well, they better watch their back...

... 'Cause Dr. Octavious Inkswell isn't going to go down without a fight!

The male then chuckled and got up, before he went into the room he got his outfit from and pulled out what looked to be an orange and white Minigun, but this one had what appeared to be a tank attached to it, full of what appeared to be ink... but the ink was of different colors of purple/magenta shades.

The male also got out two other weapons, one was a smaller gun, which also used ink, and the other weapon was a long, curved, steel blade, with the handle for said blade being made out of what appeared to be black leather and gold, which he put on his back, along with the smaller gun, before he kicked the door open to his house and went to the top of the building, before he yelled, his voice booming across the entire city, "YOU THINK YOU CAN CAPTURE ME, INKLINGS AND OCTARIANS!? THINK AGAIN! I WILL PAINT THE DESOLATE STREETS OF THIS CITY IN YOUR INK WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU! I WILL MAKE YOU ALL FEAR THE NAME OF DR. OCTAVIOUS INKSWELL, THE FIRST INKLING-OCTARIAN HYBRID! SO... COME AND GET SOME!", before he laughed, grinning like a madman under his helmet the entire time, as the then began to shoot purple ink out of the Minigun he was carrying, painting the area in purple ink.
