Wings of Ink (Splatoon x Wings of Fire crossover)

== Quick note ==
So, you will see fantribes that already exist. However, these are my renditions of said tribes, and these tribes were tribes I made before I knew these tribes were already a thing.
== Prologue ==
=== The dragons ===
Sky flew along gracefully in the clear blue sky, over a vast navy ocean. She let the wind rush along her scales, and did a flip. "Whoa, watch out!" a dark blue dragon called out. "Aw, Kelp, sorry if I hit you!" Sky said apologetically. "No worries. It must be nice up here, for a CloudWing." Kelp replied. "Heh, and as a CoralWing, I bet you'd love to swim around in that ocean," a crystalline dragon said. "Aw, shut up, CrystalWing. Bet you'd love to be hiding in a cave and mining, Ruby!" a green dragon retorted. "Shut up, Vine!" Ruby huffed. "Oh, did I make the cave-dweller angry?" Vine said in a baby voice. "Shut up, you guys. Just be quiet," Sky snarled. Vine rolled her eyes and Ruby scratched her. The two began fighting, and they pushed away from each other, so they knocked themselves and their friends out of the sky. Ruby snarled. "Great work, idiot." "It was your fault that we-" Vine's retort was cut off by her hitting the ground. Upon landing, Vine blacked out, Ruby twisted her ankle, Sky hurt her wing, and Kelp had a claw torn out. She bellowed curses as she clutched her talon.
As Kelp cursed in the wind and Sky helped tend to her friends' wounds, a young girl with tentacles for hair and a black circle around her eyes with narrow triangles on the bottom of them walked up. She pulled out her Hero Shot and aimed it at the group.
"What are you doing on my turf?"
== Chapter 1 - Seeking Help ==
=== The dragons ===
Sky heard babbling and squeaking and turned around. She mumbled a curse and tapped her talon on the miniature creature. "Enchant me, my friends, and this mysterious creature to understand each other, as well as any others we wish to understand us."
She removed her talon. "Say that again?"
The mysterious creature looked at her. "I said, what are you doing on my turf!" "We fell while flying. It's all Vine and Ruby's fault. By the way, I'm Sky, the green dragon that's lying on the ground unconscious is Vine, the one who twisted her ankle is Ruby, and the one who's cursing at nobody is Kelp." Sky sat down. "Who are you, and what are you as well?"
The mysterious creature huffed. "Why should you know?"
"Because I don't want to call you a mysterious creature?" Sky said.
"Fine. My name is Luna. I'm an Octoling. Keep that in your head, because I am not telling you that again."
Sky blinked. "Okay...? Well, if you want to help us, you can, but I don't think you will."
"What do you want me to help you with?" Luna challenged.
Sky breathed a cloudy puff. "We need to get back home."
== Chapter 2 - A New Ally ==
=== Luna ===
Luna stood there, unsure if she could trust these giant creatures with wings that could roam the skies. "Why would you want help? I'm sure you could do it on your own." She readied herself to press the trigger, to throw her Smallfry if needed. "Because... We need medical help, food, water, shelter, and maybe a bit of company while we're at it?" Sky said. Luna groans. "Fiiiiine. But we're keeping you under surveillance until we know you can be trusted." Sky nods gratefully and hauls Vine onto her back. "Kelp, try to fly for a bit. Carry Ruby on your back." Kelp nods, sticking her bloody talon into a pool of water. Ruby limps over to her and pulls herself onto her back. Kelp wobbles under the added weight, before regaining her balance. "Ready to go, Sky!" She says. "Okay. Luna, please help us as fast as you can. I have a family to go home to, they're expecting me to be home quickly."
Luna sits there, stunned for a moment. These monsters, they seemed to have normal lives.
Maybe they could be trusted.
"Come on. I'll lead you to Splatsville."
Sky and Kelp launch themselves into the sky and Luna runs off, leading them to Splatsville.
== Chapter 3 - Time's Ticking ==
=== The dragons ===
Sky began to tire. She swooped lower to the ground. "Luna, how much longer? My wing is starting to give out." Luna looked up at her. "We're here," She said. "Welcome to Splatsville, the city of Chaos."
Sky landed and Kelp touched down after her, and they entered the city. Luna brandishes her ink shooter (She called it a Hero Shot) and tells everyone to be kind. They reach a high ledge. "You should be pretty safe up here," She says. A small thing jumps out of her backpack. "Whoa, Smallfry! Get back here!" She watched Luna chase down her "Smallfry" while she tried to figure out how to get Vine to wake up. She slumps back, giving up. "Hey, are you okay, Sky?" Kelp asks. "You gave up. That's not like you."
Sky sighs. "I know."
"But though I am Skyflier, I can lose my momentum when there is no Rainfall."
== Chapter 4 - Runaway ==
=== Luna ===
"What do you mean?" Luna asked. "It's... hard to explain." Sky said. "My full name is Skyflier, and my sister's name is Rainfall, or Rain for short. She's really the only one who helps me get through life daily." She says. "So it's hard for me when she isn't here." She sighs. Luna felt a twisting thread of guilt and sympathy in her heart. "We'll get you home soon, Sky." She said. "Promise."
Sky nodded gratefully. "Thank you."
The night went by, everyone was resting peacefully.
But then...
A small disturbance was made...
And Skyflier disappears.
== Chapter 5 - Sanity ==
=== The dragons ===
Vine wakes up, blinking her eyes sleepily. "Good morning, everybody." She says. She rubs her head. "Wow, that still hurts." She looked around. Everybody was anxiously darting from place to place, looking around. "Vine, no time for waking up slowly!" Ruby whines. "We gotta find Sky!"
Kelp nods. "The flier has fallen because of the drought."
Luna looks up at Vine. "You can do something, right?" She pleads. Vine looks to her friends for help. Ruby is nodding, and Kelp gives her the look.
"Yes." She says slowly. "I can help."
Luna bounces up and down, and goes over to Vine. "Then help!" She says. Vine slowly nods again and reaches out her senses.
"This way!" She says, flying off. Kelp lets Luna onto her back and they follow.
They weave through trees and soar over deserts, until they land.
They are standing all together.
"It's a dead end." Vine says.
They were facing the ocean.
== Chapter 6 - Deepsea ==
=== Luna ===
Kelp surprises Luna by dashing directly into the water. "Whoa, Kelp, I can't swim!" She superjumps off of Kelp's back before they hit the water. "Saved myself from an inevitable splat. Good job, Luna." The last part was more or less said to herself.
Kelp surfaces. "Sorry! Well, I can't find any traces of Sky in the water, so she must have flown. I can't track her anymore."
Luna sits down, thinking hard. "I think I know what to do." She climbs onto Vine's back and lets her Smallfry out of her backpack. "Little Buddy, it's your time to shine. Go find the white dragon, the CloudWing named Skyflier, more commonly known as Sky. Lead us to her." She lets go of her Smallfry and it begins to dash across the surface of the water. "Follow Little Buddy!"
Ruby and Vine launch themselves off of the cliff and follow from the air, while Kelp swims with incredible speed. Little Buddy dashes across the water relentlessly.
A while later, they end up somewhere near Hammerhead Bridge, the bridge that provides the main means of transport between the Splatlands and Inkadia. The exact location was a somewhat demolished statue that looked like a human. Luna's usually happy exterior deteriorates into a look of fear and a look of regret. This place obviously brings back a lot of memories, some good, and some bad, for Luna. "This Way!" She calls, calling Little Buddy back to her.
"Let's find Sky and get out of here quickly," she mumbles.
"Why?" Kelp was visibly worried.
"This place brings back a lot of memories," Luna sighs.
"This is the Deepsea Metro."
== Extras - Splatoon Terminology ==
Use this helpful guide if you're confused about some of the things that are going on! (Spoilers for the Splatoon series ahead)
* "This Way!" and "Booyah!" are the two communication options in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 (In the first Splatoon, "This Way!" was not there. Instead, it was a similar emote, but it was "C'mon!" rather than "This Way!" "Booyah!" was still there, as it is a staple of Splatoon communication.) In Splatoon 3: Return of the Mammalians (The singleplayer mode, commonly referred to as Hero Mode or Story Mode) the "This Way!" emote is used to call your Smallfry (Smallfry's official nickname is Little Buddy) back to you.
* Salmonids are an unplayable species in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, introduced in Splatoon 2's co-op game mode Salmon Run. Ignoring all lore implications introduced in RotM and jumping straight in to massacre mutant salmon, you'll find that there are several kinds of Salmonids: The Lesser Salmonids, who consist of Smallfry, Chum, and Cohocks, as well as Snatchers, (Smallfry, Chum, and Cohocks are subspecies of Salmonid, and Little Buddy is a Smallfry) the Boss Salmonids, who consist of stronger enemies, and there are eleven kinds so I won't bore you explaining them, and the King Salmonids, who only appear when at least one member of the team's Salmometer is at least partially full, and the rest is determined by sets of values that increase the chances of getting a King Salmonid the more each teammate's Salmometer is full, there are two kinds so far, and they are Cohozuna (Nicknamed "Big Cohuna" by ScottFalco in the YouTube video Splatoon 3: Salmon Run with a side of salt) and Horrorboros. (Nicknamed "Flying Eel Snake Thingy" by me.)
* The Splatlands and Inkadia are the two regions of the Splatoon series; Inkadia is where the events of Splatoon and Splatoon 2 take place, with notable locations like Greater Inkopolis, Inkopolis Square, Octo Valley, and Octo Canyon. Hammerhead Bridge is the halfway point, the big bridge that was constructed after the events of Splatoon 2, it serves as the main route between the Splatlands and Inkadia, a notable area beside it is the Deepsea Metro, the first glimpse in Splatoon's dark lore you get through the Octo Expansion! In the Splatlands, there are quite a few: The Crater and Alterna, which are both lore-tainted places that are linked to the origins of Inklings and Octolings (Alterna is the real Inkling and Octoling origin, but The Crater is widely recognized within the Splatoon world to be the origins of Inklings and Octolings), and the main hub world in the game is Splatsville, the City of Chaos!
* Chaos Vs. Order was the "Final Splatfest" of Splatoon 2 (It was the Splatfest that decided the events of Splatoon 3, much like Callie Vs. Marie decided the events of Splatoon 2,) however there were four Splatfests afterwards, three were rematches of previous Splatfests, and the ACTUAL final Splatfest for Splatoon 2 was a Splatfest celebrating Super Mario's 35th anniversary. Anyways, back to the original topic, Chaos Vs. Order was the Final Fest, the only Splatfest in Splatoon 2 to last for 72 hours and the only Splatfest in Splatoon 2 to occur at the same time worldwide. Pearl represented Team Chaos, and Marina represented Team Order. Team Chaos won, leading to the events of Splatoon 3 and how everything is different and better.
* Callie Vs. Marie was the final Splatfest of Splatoon. Callie and Marie are the two members of the famous Squid Sisters, (They're actually cousins) who host Inkopolis News in Splatoon. Marie won, leading Callie to be abducted by the Octarians and be brainwashed by their leader, leading Agent 4 to go on a quest to find her and the Great Zapfish in the Hero Mode of Splatoon 2.
* The New Squidbeak Splatoon is a hero group consisting of Cap'n Cuttlefish, (Who retires to be Senior Advisor Cuttlefish) Agent 1, (Callie) Agent 2, (Marie) Agent 3, (Who you play as in Splatoon, Agent 3 is promoted to Captain in Splatoon 3 so many people call them Captain Three) Agent 4, (Who you play as in Splatoon 2) Agent 8, (Who you play as in the Octo Expansion) and Neo Agent 3 (New Agent 3, whatever. You play as Neo Three in Splatoon 3.)
* More coming soon, it's late and I needed to compensate for not updating for several months
