P.O.V. Drake, the human.

"No means no Twiggy." I say with crossed arms while glaring at Twilight.

"Don't you want to make some new friends?" Twilight asks me.

"I'm not going through the mirror Twiggy and you can't make me." I say trying not to yell.

She huffs angrily while I just sit on the "cutie map" ignoring her purple pony temper tantrum.

Honestly she does this every time I say no to something. Even if it's "for my own good". How does she know what's good for me? She doesn't. Even I don't know what's for my own good.

I didn't ask to be dropped here in pony land but you know I don't control fate... Or karens that kill me because I told them their kid wasn't good enough to pass his finals... Or purple pony princesses that don't understand why I don't follow the pony way of life....

There are honestly a lot of things I don't control now that I think about it....

"I bet you'd listen if Celestia told you to go through the mirror." Twilight says as my thoughts of death, doom, and despair leave me.

"That's because Sunbutt scares me." I say flatly.

"WHAT?!?" Twilight yells loudly as she looks at me in shock.

"Do I have to fucking spell it out for you?" I say even more flatly, if that's possible, than before.

"But why?" Twilight asks obviously confused.

"She controls the fucking sun, she can do magic in large enough amounts to hurt me, oh and she has a bunch of guards that can sneak around silently IN FULL PLATE ARMOUR!" I say with a shudder as I remember how hard it was to lose the guards when I lived in Canterlot Castle.

"I guess I can understand the second one but the first and third reasons make no sense to me." Twilight says.

"That's probably because you have a really smooth brain, or because you're not from my world, probably both though if I'm being honest." I say.

"What do you mean by, you know what nevermind, you're going through the mirror, Drake, and if I have to contact Celestia I will." Twilight says defiantly.

"You forget, Spike, is with Rarity and her younger, totally not robotic sister." I reply.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." She says in a defeated tone.

"Okay. Now that I'm satisfied," I say as I get off the Cutie Map, table... thing,"I think I'd like to go through the mirror now." I say with a shit eating grin.

"HUH?!" Twilight exclaims as I grab my stuff from behind one of the chairs within the room.

I had planned on staying originally but Twilight has been bugging me so much for the last few weeks about me "being reckless" or "you need to stop bellyaching over stuff." so on and so forth.

Also leaving might be beneficial because of what's coming next month.

I shudder slightly as I remember when I was still living with Celestia and Luna when I'd first came to this world.

I didn't come out of my room for weeks, it was a good thing I had access to the kitchen via a tunnel I'd dug, until the guards found out I had been the one stealing the snacks out of the kitchen and literally followed the breadcrumbs to my room...

Anyway back to the problem at hand, I have realized that if I go through this mirror to a different world supposedly I don't have to deal with Twilight complaining about me supposedly being reckless, Spike being a jackass, or Twilight's friends trying to "help" me everytime I get frustrated with stuff and leave it for later.

"The only reason I decided to argue, Twiggy, is because I've decided that I'd like to have one final argument before I left." I say as I put on my backpack and attach my headphones to my phone.

"You say that like you're not coming back." Twilight responds to me.

"Perceptive as always Twiggy." I respond back as I wait for her to show me the mirror.

"So why are you looking at me?" She asks clearly confused.

"Because you know where the mirror is. I do not." I state blankly.

"Oh. Well follow me then." She says as she goes through a door.

I follow closely behind thinking of something funny I could do before I finally leave and never come back.

We finally reach a room where there stands a mirror that is connected to a machine. I think I'll call that machine, The Plot Device. No reason behind it. Just because.

"Here we are." Twilight says.

"Cool. I've got everything I need so just tell me when." I say patting my backpack.

Funny thing is I literally packed everything I could into the backpack. I love being friends with Rarity. She didn't ask why I needed the backpack enchanted to hold tons of extra shit she just enchanted it because I had helped her with some modeling stuff one time and she felt she owed me something.

Unfortunately I couldn't fit the bed or dresser into the backpack because the backpack wasn't wide enough, however everything else in my room fit.

Twilight puts a book on the pedestal thing that was connected to the rest of The Plot Device and with a shine of colours, I still think that the amount of colours in this world is absurd, the mirror looks more like a portal.

I crouch down in front of Twilight and say with a smile, "So before I go I've got a very important question for you Twiggy."

"What is it?" She asks.

"Are you a Squid or a Kid?" I ask, but before she can answer I jump back while still crouched and enter the portal all while laughing at my own joke even though Twilight probably thought I had a serious question.


P.O.V. Drake, The human cannon ball...

Have you ever been thrown out of a portal while curled up into a ball?

No?

Well I have, and if you hit a glass door while doing so it breaks.

So if you weren't paying attention to what just happened I jumped through a portal curled up in a ball.

Now I'm being blasted out on the other side faster than Team Rocket.

"Ow." I say as I hit the a wall no longer curled up.

"Ah think whoever we're waitin'on jus' blasted past us." I hear a familiar voice say as I get up and pop my back.

"That. Was. Awesome." I hear another familiar voice say.

"He also caused some property damage when he blasted through the glass door." I hear a familiar squeaky voice say

"Let's not worry about that lets just make sure they're okay I'd rather not be taking care of someone that's injured." I hear a voice that is not familiar say.

"I'm okay. Nothing is broken and both my ass cheeks are intact thank you." I say as I slowly walk outside.

I look behind me where I see an imprint of me in the wall. I look forward and see that the glass door that I was blasted through.

I open the frame of the door anyway mostly for added affect but I probably looked stupid.

"You are more than okay darling, if I do say so myself." I hear a very proper woman say as I stare at the women in front of me.

There were seven of them.

The first one I see is a yellow woman with bacon like hair and beautiful cyan eyes. She is wearing a leather jacket, an orange shirt and some blue jeans.

The second woman I see is as pale as snow with purple hair her attire is a very light blue, almost white shirt and a purple skirt and I have a very distinct feeling that I should know who it is.

The third is an orange woman with blonde hair and a cowboy hat. She's wearing a t-shirt with an apple on it and a jean skirt. This seems familiar...

The fourth is a purple woman with hair that is very similar in color to Twilight's mane and tail. She wears glasses and is wearing a blue striped t-shirt with a purple skirt. My brain is on red alert something about this one is sus.

The fifth woman scares me. Mostly because of the big poofy pink hair and her pink skin. She's wearing a white tank top and a blue skirt. The gleam in her eyes isn't helping my deja vu any.

The sixth woman looks smug. She appears to be wear a sports uniform. Her rainbow coloured hair appears to be slightly shorter than the hair of the other but not by much. Again she looks familiar and she appears to be judging me.

The last woman is yellow with pink hair. She is wearing a white tank top like the pink girl but her dress is green. She's also attempting to hide behind the blue woman.

"So Twiggy told me a awhile back that one of you offered me residence should I choose to come here. Which one of you decided to offer me residence?" I ask.


P.O.V. Agent 13 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon

I don't know why my mother decided volunteer me for this mission. Agents 4 and 8 are perfectly capable of doing this mission but no I'm the one that has to go do it.

"Are you sure Agent 4 can't do this mission Mom? Because I don't think I'm qualified for this mission." I state blatantly to my mother as she takes me to a secret room in Cuttlefish Cabin.

"You'll be fine and Agent 4 refused to do this mission. Besides, Coral, you said you'd like to do something besides patrolling." My mother, Agent 3, says as we enter the secret room.

I see Marina sitting behind a computer typing something but what catches my eye is a circular machine encased in glass.

"So is it ready Marina?" My mother asks.

"Yes. Unfortunately though... It's a one way trip. I won't be able to bring her back once she's on the other side." Marina says solemnly.

"Can I back out now?" I ask.

"No. I hate to tell you this but that world is in danger much like ours was two years ago and I'd rather not have something from our world destroy an innocent world that isn't ours." My mother says coldly.

"Great. I'm on a suicide mission." I say as I grab my Hero Roller off the wall.

I go to the center of the platform encased in glass. I breathe in and close my eyes. I open my eyes and look my mother in the eyes as a tear falls from my eyes.

I then look at Marina and stare directly into her eyes and say,"Beam me up Marina, I'm going to shell."


Author's Note

Anyone else excited for Splatoon 3? I am.

So obviously this story, at least on the Splatoon side of things is post Octo expansion so you have been warned.

Also stay tuned I may have chapter 2 up soon but I make no promises.

Also criticism is appreciated, insults are not. Thank you.
