S3/OC Scenario: Seeking the Extreme
Neo Agent 3 touches down in Alterna after clearing Cryogenic Hopetown and notices that Lil' Buddy had already taken off.
The smallfry scrambles over to an Inkling that was passing by, bumping against the heel of his shoe. The Inkling takes notice and upon seeing Lil' Buddy, his bored expression turns sadistic as he snatches Lil' Buddy and holds him up by the scruff of the neck.
???: "Well well, what do we have here? A vermin that strayed so far from its pack. I dunno how you found your way all the way down here, but tough luck, you had to run into me."
The Inkling opens his mouth, ready to eat Lil' Buddy alive when Neo 3 catches up in time to snatch her little friend back. Upon closer examination, the Inkling was wearing a black dress suit with the white collared shirt unbuttoned from the neck to below the chest, brown fingerless gloves, and black dress shoes. His silver hair was disheveled and two scars sat on his face, one across his nose, intersecting with the other going through his left eye which was covered by bangs. In his left hand was a long, odd-looking briefcase with the handle sitting near one end of it and what look to be a katana handle sticking out.
???: "Hm? That smallfry a friend of yours or somethin'? I'd be careful gettin' chummy with the vermin that invades our cities."
Neo 3's communication device rings up.
Agent 1: "Agent 3! Is everything okay? Who did you find!?"
???: "Hey, that voice… wait a minute, 3!? I figured you wouldn't have looked the same since our storm through Octo Valley, but apart from the new hairstyle, you look like you haven't even aged a day!"
Agent 1: "Hold on… Oda? Oda is that you!?"
Oda: "Callie!? What's the Squidbeak Splatoon doin' down here?"
Agent 2: "We could ask you the same. 3, both of you come back to base."
Without hesitation, Neo 3 and Oda squid jump over back to Future Utopia Island.
================================================
Oda: "Ah, I was mistaken. Sorry Captain, it's just been so long."
[Captain 3 silently chuckles]
Agent 1: "So wait, what happened to your face?"
Agent 2: "More importantly, what're you doing down here?"
Oda: "Ah, well y'see, I'm lookin' for someone. Blue haired Octoling, hair covers one of her eyes, pretty dramatic about her entrances."
Agent 2: "Sounds like that Shiver we encountered earlier. She and her goons are apparently here for treasure."
Oda: "Yup, that's Deep Cut alright! … As much as it pains me, I'll lend you guys a hand."
Agent 1: "Super fresh! … wait, what do you mean 'pains you'?"
Oda: "It's a long story I'll have to save for another time, but basically, I'm close with Shiv and this'll definitely earn me an earful from her once things are settled here. I still owe you guys for back then, so savin' Craig takes priority."
Agent 1: "Whoa, it's like the conflict of a lover's tale!"
Oda: "C-Come on, don't put it like that."
Agent 2: "The Captain says 'Save the gossip for later, we still have to find Cuttlefish.'"
Oda: "Roger that, 3! And you…"
Oda: "… I'll call you Neo to make things easier. Anyway, you let me know if you and your vermin need help. Oh, right I never introduced myself."
[He sits his briefcase down and strikes a cool pose with his left hand obscuring the left side of his face]
Oda: "I'm Oda Inkari! Make sure that smallfry doesn't get lost or I just might eat him by accident."

===================[Post-Game]====================
Neo drops down to Eco-Forest Treehills and finds a new path off to the side, leading her to a lone, small island with a huge kettle in the middle. Uncovering the new hidden level, a powerful, malevolent aura seeps from the grate of the entrance.
Agent 2: "The captain says 'Please come back alive'"
Neo looks upon the kettle with a tiny sense of unease before entering.
07: The Thrill of The Great Leveler
Objective: Survive
Neo touches down to a large arena surrounded by several broken torii gates and finds herself staring at a peculiar, familiar Inkling with an odd looking briefcase in his hand, looking up at the lone torii gate that stands unbroken.
Oda: "You've beaten Deep Cut, overcame Mr. Grizz, and even proved your mettle to this settlement's ultimate test. Be proud, I'd say you're standing side by side with 3 as one of the great heroes the world may never know…"
He turns around and looks at Neo with his single, blue/red dual-colored eye and grins, showing off his sharp teeth.
Oda: "But the fact that you're here tells me you hadn't had your fill, haven't you?"
He holds up his briefcase, revealing it to actually be a makeshift sheath with an engine attached, holding his weapon. Pressing one of the buttons, the sheath opens itself to let him draw out what looked to be a katana with a long brush in place of a blade.
Oda: "This'll be the only time I'll embrace the dead traditions of my clan, so let's make it count."
Flipping the weapon to grip it backhanded, Oda raises his arm and makes a hand sign. His eye flashes red, inverting it's two colors, his shadow extends three ways over to three spots beside him, and with a malevolent aura emitting from his body, three Inklings spawn to his side, each carrying a different weapon. The one who bore long lavender hair with her two long tentacles chomped at the ends looks over to Oda with a teasing expression.
???: "Odie, are you really calling on big sis to help you babysit this pathetic looking mollusk?"
The one who bore green hair styled into a long ponytail speaks up with eyes closed and crossed arms.
???: "Prey is prey, Toki. Remember the last time you underestimated your prey?"
Toki: "Kaneeeeeeee, I told you that was because I thought I had him before the wretched blue octo showed up and snatched him from me!"
The Inkling who bore short blue hair interjects while still leaning on his brush.
???: "If you two are done arguing, the duel should be starting any second now, isn't that right, brother?"
Oda: "Very much so, Hiro, this will also be a test on our teamwork, so look alive before I turn this into 2v3 and you can die to our challenger here!"
Oda shoots a death glare to his siblings, prompting them to straighten themselves up and ready for combat. Turning his gaze back to Neo, he smiles once again.
Oda: "I'll spare you the story for another, but right now…"
He enters a battle stance and his expression turns crazed, sticking his tongue out.
Oda: "YOU STAND BEFORE THE ONES DESCENDED FROM WARRIORS WHO ONCE NEARLY CONQUERED ALL OF INKADIA! DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY OUT, THAT IS THE WAY OF THE INKARI!"
Thrill-Seeking Squid Quartet
The Four Demon Kings
Oda: "FIGHT OR DIE, LITTLE SQUID, INKSATSUNA CRAVES ANOTHER STRONG SOUL!"
==================[After the Battle]===================
Neo catches her breath, standing victorious from the duel to the death, Oda stands on one knee alone, his siblings having returned to Inksatsuna when they were slain. In spite of suffering defeat, he merely cackles with excitement.
Oda: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA, I HAVEN'T LET LOOSE SINCE I HAD TO FELL MY LUNATIC GRANDPA, AND IT ALMOST FELT AS GOOD AS THAT TIME! I WANNA JUST KEEP THIS DUEL GOING!!!"
Returning Inksatsuna back to it's sheath, he stands up with his expression and eye color returning to normal.
Oda: "But, I know when I've lost... besides, I'd be breakin' Shiv's heart if I let myself die and I love that fool too much to let that happen."
???: "TSU-TSU!"
Oda winces and chuckles nervously as his ears pick up the angry yell of the blue Octoling he was referring to. Shiver shows up, walking past Neo to yank Oda by the collar, wearing a coyly smile that thinly veils her absolute fury.
Shiver: "I try to reach you multiple times and find you left your phone in your house. Care to explain yourself?"
Oda's eye darts away for a moment before he simply shrugs.
Oda: "... Your new friend here just happened to pique my interest."
Shiver: "So much so that you needed to keep your little date here a secret, hmm?"
Oda: "Okay, now you're just talkin' crazy--"
Shiver opens her eyes to stare daggers into him as she pulls him closer.
Shiver: "I was worried sick, Tsu-Tsu, and I made a fool of mysef from how much I was panicking and then--"
Oda looks to Neo and smiles casually.
Oda: "As you can see, we're gonna be here for a minute, but don't worry about me, just be on your way, kiddo."
Shiver: "Now you're just ignoring me? Am I just THAT insignificant to you?"
Oda's eye flashes red once more as his attention returns to the angry bandit.
Oda: "HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT KIND OF SQUID I AM, YOU COLD-HEARTED EMPRESS!? OR DO WE NEED TO SETTLE THIS WITH A DUEL!?"
Neo couldn't help giggling at the usually chillest of squids she's met finally lose his cool demeanor in the face of a silly misunderstanding, but she knew it was best to leave as to not make her prolonged presence be any more of an issue for her new friend. She casually strolls off to the goal, ready to call it a day...
=================LEVEL CLEARED!==================
=================================================
... I can't remember the last time I took a stab at writing to this extent. I was just wonderin' "Hmm, what if my main Splatoon OC was a secret postgame boss fight", then remembered between the lore I've been building up with him on top of Deep Cut doin' basically ninjutsu type shit for their boss battles (sorry if that's incorrect, I just dunno what it could be if not that given Splatoon's setting is a post-apocalyptic science fiction), I realized it wouldn't be too outta place to have his "dead" siblings show up too and it was a perfect opportunity. I do apologize that there isn't much context behind my OCs here, I kinda suck at keepin' my lore notes organized and I just don't wanna share much while I'm still in debate regardin' shit here and there on their journeys leadin' to present day of Splatoon 3, but y'know, it's not often I get a real feel for myself to try writing and actually go for it the whole way through, so bleh :P
I hope to eventually be able to properly introduce all of these maniacs.
