Draconian War: Retaliation

The next day, cargo shuttles were sent to the Inkblazer so the Squidbeak Splatoon would have as much equipment as they would need. During the news, Shiver and Frye revealed something that might have been related to the earthquake.

"Live footage from a satellite indicates that some sort of ship was underwater at the time of yesterday's earthquake. This ship's origins are unknown at this time, but the answers will soon come. Marina from "Off The Hook" is currently examining this as we speak and should have answers for us.", they said.

As Marina was examining the footage, she noticed something strange and contacted the Squid Sisters, along with Flurry Heart, Ryder, and Mickey.

"From looking at the satellite view on live footage, this ship looks almost identical to the ships in our Navy. Among other things, the main difference is that this ship has four giant pieces on the sides.", she explained.

Minutes later, the satellite footage showed that the ship was now moving upward. Marina noticed the four large extensions had a giant blue circle in the center that was glowing brightly. These appeared to be the ship's engines. About an hour later, everyone heard a loud roaring sound. Looking to the sky, they saw the ship flying towards the area between the two cities. Skye flew the Squid Sisters to an area twelve yards from where the ship was landing so they could have a look through binoculars. It was at this point that they spotted the ship's name: C F S Lemurian Star. Before they could go closer, they watched as beams of light appeared in midair and then disappeared to reveal three individuals. Callie and Marie's eyes lit up.

"Impossible.", whispered Callie.

"We always heard they were destroyed by the rising water.", said Marie.

"What are you talking about? What are they?", asked Skye.

"They're HUMANS!", said Callie and Marie.

"Let's get out of here before we're spotted.", said Callie in a rushed voice.

"WAIT, STOP! WE MEAN YOU NO HARM!", yelled one of the three humans.

Everyone suddenly turned around as the humans raced over to them. Two of the humans had blue eyes and dark blond hair, except one was taller and had pointed ears. The third had brown eyes and wore glasses.

"We always heard your kind was destroyed when the oceans rose.", said Callie.

"That's true, but we are the only ones who survived. We submerged our ship underwater and we went into a medically-induced sleep that kept us alive. My name is Brandon. I'm the Captain of the Lemurian Star. This person next to me with glasses is my best friend, Colin, and the third person you see is named Link.", said the person without pointed ears.

Callie and Marie shook hands with him and then he told them who they were.

"We are the last remaining branch of an army that was once spread wide across the universe. We called ourselves the "Christian Fleet", and sought to protect the universe from an evil entity. Link here was the Admiral of the branch that includes the Lemurian Star, called the Federation. We succeeded in destroying the entity and then came home to Earth after several years of exploration. We were about to retire when we got word of the oceans rising. In hopes of survival, we submerged and remained alive until now. Our other branches died out prior to us completing our explorations.", explained Brandon.

"We are about to engage an alien race that attacked us recently. Would you be willing to help us out?", asked Marie.

"Certainly, we will gladly assist you.", answered Link.

After bringing the Lemurian Star closer to Inkopolis and reporting what was discovered, Callie spoke to Flurry, Ryder, and Mickey. Then, Brandon told them that he and his crew were offering their skills to help out.

"You are very generous to help us. This means we have another set of soldiers to help us stop the Draconians.", said Flurry Heart.

Link's eyes grew huge.

"Did you just say, the Draconians?", he asked in shock.

"You know about them?", asked Callie in astonishment.

"We explored their world at one point, and we nearly died.", said Colin.

Brandon proceeded to explain what Colin was talking about. The Draconians had four arms, spikes on their heads, and three eyes.

"That's what they looked like when we explored their world.", said Sandbar.

"Well then, their anatomy hasn't changed after all this time. As I was saying, they were very hostile and tried to kill us, but we got away before they could catch us.", Brandon continued.

When Flurry realized that Brandon's description was the same as what the Young Six had collected, she told him what was now going on. When Callie and Marie told Brandon that a Draconian patrol had captured their parents and kids, he was speechless.

"In that case, it is clear that we should join forces with you.", he replied.

After letting Brandon join, everyone met his remaining crew-members. They were Spyro, Cynder, Blackstar, Moonflame, Kirby, Meta-Knight, his cousin Stephen, Fraaz, Draculaura, Clawd and Clawdeen Wolf, Ghoulia Yelps, Cleo de Nile, Frankie Stein, and Lagoona Blue.

Everyone knew tomorrow was when they'd be shipping out, so they all laid down to get plenty of sleep. The next morning, everyone got up early to get ready to go into space.
