Agent 1's Ink-terrogation

Fandom: Splatoon

Characters: Callie (Agent 1), Agent 3, DJ Octavio

Synopsis: What was supposed to be another normal day for Callie gets interrupted when the third operative of the Squidbeak Splatoon starts acting odd. But no matter how tight-lipped her junior was being, Callie still had one special trick up her sleeve to pry out the secret that she might be hiding.

(I feel bad for always asking for a "Keep Reading" cut from the mods, but that's what I get when I keep writing crazy long prompts. xD)

[Here's the cut! Also, this is for Day 28: Confession]

--------------------------

Okay, okay. One more time. Callie could do this. She juggled much more than that without a hitch before the whole Octo Canyon fiasco; this kind of schedule was smallfry to her!

"Meeting with Marie's doc on 9:20, practice session on 10:30, Metro investigation with OTH on 11:15… uh… uhhhhhh… oh no…! What was the next one...?!"

"OI!"

"Holy salmon!" What the heck was that?! That was so loud! That was… Octavio’s voice, wasn’t it?

Callie shoved open the sliding door of Cuttlefish Cabin and caught a glance of… oh, Three’s already here! The younger Inkling looked like a Salmonid caught in the headlights, while DJ Octavio was shaking his head in his snow globe abode.

“Honestly, what are you doing, pacing back and forth like that?” The DJ pointed at Three with one of his wasabi stalks. “You’re gonna make me dizzy just by watching you!”

“That’s…” Meanwhile, Three was clearly still flustered from shock. “What I’m doing is none of your business.”

Something's going on here. Callie skipped over to her junior’s side and patted her shoulder. “Becaaauuse Octavio here’s secretly a big ol’ softie, and he’s worried for you! It’s obvious, Three.”

“Don’t feed that muck to your junior, Callie.” Octavio’s grumble only made her stick her tongue out at him. “You oughta drag her to a doctor to see if she really hasn’t caught anything. She practically phased out from reality just now. I can’t keep shouting at the top of my lungs, ya know!”

When she turned to face the younger Inkling, she was met with a childish pout. Clearly, something must be going on with Agent 3 if even Octavio was concerned (even if he was showing it in the sassiest way possible). Looks like it was time for Detective Callie to get down to business!

“Ha-ha, admit it, Octavio; you’re a big worrywart for everyone around you! I can’t promise you I’ll actually drag her to a doctor, though.”

“Please don’t.” Three immediately interjected.

“Aww, just kidding! Now c’mon, didn’t you want to discuss something about the Metro with me?” Before either Octavio or Three could continue the subject, Callie quickly dragged her junior towards the cabin. Maybe Three felt uncomfortable with letting Octavio overhear whatever was gnawing at her.

The cabin was… kinda cramped, if Callie wanted to be brutally honest, but there was still enough space for more than the two of them to gather in. All of the folders and manila cards on the folding table are quickly swept off and stacked in a nearby cupboard; they were currently of no use to Detective Callie. Alright, let’s see just what kind of case she had on her hands.

“So, out with it. What’s on your mind?” At Three’s confused gaze, she continued on. “Oh, don’t you try to deny it! There’s obviously a reason you ‘phased out from reality’ if Octavio had to yell to get your attention.”

“He yells all the time! Did you forget the time I faced off against him?”

“Not wrong, but you know how much he’s mellowed out ever since he got his butt kicked again. Now tell me!”

“It’s…” Hang on. Was Agent 3 blushing?! “It’s really dumb. I can just ask Marina for advice later.”

Yep, no way around it. The orange blooming on her cheeks contrasted against the fair tone of her skin. A theory was already starting to form in Callie’s mind, but until Three herself admitted it out loud, she couldn’t decisively name it as the truth.

“Oh come on, so what if it’s really dumb? You know you can tell me or Marie anything, right?”

“Ngh… it’s really not a big deal...” The pouty face was back again. Yikes, she’d almost forgotten how stubborn the younger agent can be. Well, if words weren’t getting her anywhere further, perhaps it was time for more… unconventional methods. Callie flexed her fingers underneath the tiny table; she had to play her cards perfectly if she wanted to catch Three off-guard. Luckily, two-and-a-half years of working together in the Splatoon also allowed Callie to be able to read her junior like a book and spot the perfect opening.

“Uh-huh, and Octavio will finally admit that he’s a big softie. Well, if you still think it’s really dumb, then maybe I’ll have to convince you that it’s not, whether you like it or not!” Before her fellow operative could catch on, Callie quickly rounded to behind Three and wrapped an arm across her left elbow to restrict the movement of that arm. Just as she reckoned, Three’s smaller size gave Callie the upper hand. She would feel bad for the poor girl, but right now, the desire for friendly mischief was too powerful to ignore.

With quick, gentle strokes of her fingers across the younger Inkling’s stomach, Callie was already drawing out a surprised squeal and uncontrollable giggling from her captive. The free hand that had been tugging at Callie’s arm sprang away in the midst of the chaos, and the junior soon started twisting frantically in a sloppy attempt to escape the senior agent’s hold.

Back before the younger agent had left with Gramps for their Mount Nantai excursion (which had soon reeled them into far more than what they’d bargained for), Callie often liked playing with Three during down time at the Cuttlefish residence, just to make the younger Inkling feel less lonely. And although Three always protested very loudly, Callie just couldn’t resist attacking her ticklish spots, not helped by the natural advantage in size she always had over the smaller Inkling. If it wasn’t all in good fun, she might be considered bullying someone younger than her. But hey, it still got her to start grinning from ear to ear, even if it was involuntary.

“No, nooooo!!” And even now, despite being hardened by the adventures she had with Gramps, Three could never hold her ground against Callie’s mischievous fingers, which had now travelled up to attack the junior’s sides. “Agent 1, let- let go! It-It’s not fair!”

“No can do, Three! Detective Callie has decided that you need to let loose a little bit, and that’s what I will help you to do!” The Hero Vest that Three usually wore to Octarian turf, which was made of thin, flexible fabric, provided little resistance against the scratching fingers, much to the agent’s dismay. “The great tickle monster has named you as her next prey, agent! Can you escape from her grasp?”

“D-Don’t- let me- WAH!!” Callie found herself giggling at the sight of Three immediately puffing up like Judd the Cat when she decided to brush her fingers down her back, slowly dragging them across the black fabric like a comb through tentacles. With one of her arms currently being held in place by Callie’s firm grip, Agent 3 had a very limited sphere of mobility, and her only free arm worked a lot less effectively as a weapon when she was locked in this position and was enduring devious tickles at her weakest points, so all she could do was claw and kick aimlessly at the air in front of her, unable to impede Callie’s fingers in any way.

Eventually, Callie felt the younger operative slacken in her grip. “Oh- Okay, okay!! I’ll tell you! Just let me go!”

“As you wish! ~♪” She unwound the arm that had been holding tightly onto Three’s own captive arm, while her fingers finally stopped tormenting her junior’s neck. The younger Inkling was completely wiped out, lying down on Callie’s lap as she tried to catch her breath and fight off the last of the phantom tickles, all while she still held her arms in front of her in a defensive X, as if she was anticipating seconds and thirds from Callie the moment she let her guard down.

“Ngh… Callie, it’s not fair…! You always hold me down tightly so that I can’t fight back!”

“Sorry, Three! You just make it too easy!” Just to troll her a little more, Callie began to slowly draw her fingers towards her stomach again, only to get it fiercely slapped away by a gloved hand. “Kidding, kidding!”

“Ugh, give me a- moment.” In one motion, the younger operative sat straight up, before turning around to face Callie. “You have a way of wrestling out any secrets I want to keep.”

“Trying to urge you was getting me nowhere, so I had to switch up my plan of attack, now, don’t I? Now,” Callie softened her grin into a gentle smile. “Will you finally tell me what’s this ‘really dumb’ thing that’s been on your mind?”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s actually…” The junior’s orange blush was back in full force. “Agent 8 asked me if I would like to go for lunch at Skipper’s Pavilion together tomorrow.”

B-I-N-G-O.

“CALLED IT!! ~♪” Callie couldn’t help but cheer loudly. Three may be the first Inkling to thoroughly kick Octavio’s butt, but she was still a squidkid, and predictably, matters of the heart turned her into a total shrinking violet, especially when it concerned their Octoling rookie. That Agent 8 sure had a way with the ladies, alright. “I wasn’t sure at first, but I reckoned that it has to be something to do with your dear Eight. After all, who else could make you flustered like that, huh~?”

“Shut it…!” The younger operative wailed. “My brother keeps telling me that I shouldn’t be fretting so much, but I just- I just wanna make it a good time to remember! I don’t want to look back on it and feel like wanting to kick myself for screwing it up!”

“Oh, Three, Three, Three,” Callie wrapped an arm around the girl’s shoulders. “I can understand that feeling, but believe me, it’s not that complicated! Tell you what, screw the Metro discussion; it’s time for a crash course with yours truly! Now c’mon, let’s go!”

“G-Go? Go where?”

The sliding door was practically shoved open. “To the Cuttlefish residence, duh! This tiny cabin is no place for preparing you for your lunch date! Come on, time’s-a wasting!”

“Okay, okay, I’m coming! Wait for me!” While Three was scrambling up behind her, Callie had already dashed towards the sewer grate leading back to Inkopolis. Oh, to be young in love; it was super-duper adorable, at least. And if she had to be honest, she’d really missed this kind of daily-life adventures with the younger agent.

… No, not just her; she’d missed having this simple life with all of those around her. Advancing her careers to the next level did make her happy back then, but she’d also failed to see just how much she was missing out on.

Not this time, though. This time, Callie intended to cherish every moment she could spend with this little family they’ve created over the 2 years.

Kicking evil’s butt as Agent 1 was cool and all, but for now, it was time for Callie Cuttlefish to take the center stage.

-----------------------------------------

Ending notes: So this was a doozy. For this prompt, I decided to dive back into the ink™ and revisit my fanfiction-writing roots, Splatoon (totally not influenced by the release of Splatoon 3, promise).

For a franchise largely advertised for its multiplayer shooter side, a staggering proportion of its fics – if not all of them – are centered around its more sidelined single-player mode and the juicy background lore said mode provides, and much of the fun comes from establishing your original characters from the local blank slate player avatars (Agent 3, for example) and exploring character relations and developing headcannons, with the only limit being your imagination. So unfortunately, and perhaps ironically, despite being more of a multiplayer shooter than a story-driven game, Splatoon also requires new members to have some basic starting knowledge of its world and lore in order to get the best out of its fics. I have no idea if either mods have played Splatoon or at least know how it works, so I tried to keep my submission as first-timer-friendly as possible, but some quick catching up via either the Inkepedia or YouTube may be inevitable (no lore dump from yours truly, though, since this ending note itself was getting abhorrently long).

Either way, I hope you enjoy this submission for #28. I didn’t think I would come up with this idea, much less one with my very first fandom, but sometimes ink-spiration strikes and you just have to keep the pen moving. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this event again!

(PS: the occasional colored names are just a fun thing I do when writing for Splatoon, but due to Tumblr's very limited word color choices, I don't have much to work with. xD)

---

[Thank you so much for your submission, it's so good to have you join in again! This is so wholesome and cute! >w< I only know the basic gameplay mechanics of Splatoon and none of the lore, but you made everything easy enough to follow. Whether it's canon or not, the strong bond between the agents is wonderful to read =3 ~Kitty]

Some things I remember from playing Splatoon 1 when I was 9-10:

When I first started playing I thought the death message told you who splatted you not the weapon. So I thought I was just getting utterly destroyed over multiple matches by somebody named splattershot jr.

When I first used the inkstrike I thought it was the coolest thing ever. The fact that you could fire a missile anywhere on the map to create a giant tornado was so exciting. Every time I levelled up I would check the new weapons I unlocked to look for anything new that had it.

I thought the sprinkler was the best sub in the game because it seemed like it would cover the most ground. This and the inkstrike thing is why I used the N-ZAP '89 almost constantly.

I played the local multiplayer balloon mode without reading the rules first and just assumed it was turf war with a bunch of balloons around for no reason. The match went on forever because nobody popped any balloons so nobody had any points. I'm not even sure I realised when a balloon finally got popped and the game ended.

I got stuck on the second boss of octo valley for ages because I kept falling in the ink around the boss. For some reason I just couldn't make the jump. I was so annoyed when I finally cleared it and it wasn't even difficult.

When I saw the Splatoon 2 trailer I thought that curling bombs were seekers that could bounce and that ride rails were replacing ink rails.

When I first saw the promotional images for the Splatoon 2 story mode I instantly thought: oh what if Callie joined the octarians because those sunglasses are mind controlling her. Like it was immediately super obvious to me. Technically a Splatoon 2 story but I wanted to share.

I didn't realise that you could give bubble to other team members by touching them until someone told me in a YouTube video. I'm pretty sure this was years after the game came out.

I was on team Callie for the final splatfest and it was the only splatfest I ever reached the top splatfest rank for. I also watched the Bomb Rush Blush and Tide Goes Out music videos in YouTube far too many times.

At one point I knew the entire bomb rush blush dance. I learned the whole thing from watching the video repeatedly and practising in my room. I never did it in front of anyone and it probably looked really awkward because I'm a terrible dancer but I did know it. I also tried to learn tide goes out and calamari inkantation but I gave up.

What weapon do you main in splatoon

If we’re talking main weapons, reeflux and H-3. I used to main carbon deco (the one with seeker rush) back in S1

(but really, I main sprinkler. and inkjet to a degree. I want sprinkler inkjet on both flux and H-3 so badly)

Splatoon Manga/Coroika x Isekai? Reader

⋞ A Massage of the unknown

5-Feb-2024 <-!!

[{ you were waiting longer than you thought... But it's worth it right?,you will win and you will, matter or not you are going to, if it's making you the False Hero then so be it.. you were more than the false Hero itself.}]

The uncertainty has Spoken: the destruction of your doing it's in every one journey none of them were safe

[{Reader will be called [{Redacted}]/Familiar in this and Will be using They/Them pronounce just for Everyone to enjoy in every Page,this will keep going in the future page}]

<<Chapter 4 [{you here}] <- [{previous chapter}] [{On the making}]Chapter 5 ->

At this rate you were looking for your team, none of them are even Here, are you really that early?

. . .

' if they don't come here faster we are going to miss them.. you can't miss this chance.. no you won't, you just have to wait for them hopefully it's not too late... '

You were overthinking, Either The Tournament or Your Friend's, Three of them.. their house or apartment.. you don't really know you were never get to see their house/apartment, but yeah they are far away from your house.. yeah you were worrying about it.. but you also can't miss this chance

A heavy foot step was running towards you, it's probably them.

" [{Redacted}] Waahh!! sorryy sorryy we are late again!! "

" ..Gosh lose yourself Qili, You were running like hell who knows what chasing you behind.. "

" shhhhhsss Rash you are making it worse than this "

" ...At least we are here.. "

" yeah.. at least you guys are here, and thank cod we still have time to watch the Tournament.. "

. . .

Arriving at the Walleye Warehouse.. there's a lot more crowds here than before, much worse most of them are their fans.. no you don't hate their fans but most of them.. are something.. it depends okay

It is likely that they are going to crush the blue team.. then they get distracted and lose, just like how the plot does... gosh you felt really sorry for Qili that she had hoped that The S4 will crush them but turn out again as a disappointed

What a shame.. you really want to see the blue team lose.. when you mean lose eventually lose without a rematch... the person who wrote Coroika really needs to nerf Goggles because what in the Agony is this..

This is not making sense at all.. not making sense at all.. but.. you can fight the truth.. you have to deal with it eventually, Goggles move with their team is just an unlucky lucky fortune

On the side of it.. most of your team are excited.. Rash.. he just.. looks okay with it you guess that he already knows that the blue team is eventually going to win.. though he still seeks excitement to crush them without words..

Qili.. she is definitely mad.. annoyed that's all you can say, she is just annoyed and amused at the same time, that the blue team can get this far..

While Alef.. he just looks calm, he observes the move and the tactics.. but you can be sure that he has a little struggle while trying to catch up with the blue team move... We'll at least he try right?

Mask take out the ^Seeker Bomb Rush!!^ and well most of the Blue team get hit by it, wow.. okay sure.. that's a bold move, but pretty much they are still going to lose

Bobbles was laughing.. yet thank cod you already watched the Manga So you already know what she is saying.. we'll look like she already took out her special weapons.. God that is funny

Spec and goggles start to Ink up the Place.. well you can guess that they are combining their Weapon for this, oh well look at that goggles is flying hitting all well mostly all the opponent while Headphones Taking care the One that escapes

Mask swug his roller, well that record is now gone, the record he didn't swing his roller but still can win the game without it..

. . .

The blue team has won.. well it's time for you and your team to take a leave.

. . .

And yet again... Rider spots you.. wonder what he thinks of...

. . .

Honestly you probably know the right way to crush them until they beat

. . .

A New Home Ch. 7

Various Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd! Reader

Wc: 2.2k

A/N: Can you tell that I love the Cyan Team? I may have remembered this whole battle by heart

A/N 2: Sorry about the wait! I've been busy taking splatoon manga art requests :D

Back to the start! Previous Next

Your destination is set on Walleye Warehouse, excited to see another interesting battle. On the way to Inkopolis Tower, you think you hear your name being mentioned. You take a look around and see a group of squids that immediately move their attention to each other when they saw that you took notice of them.

“Odd.”

Ignoring that, you get comfortable in the stands at Walleye Warehouse. This wasn’t an official battle, so there were only a couple of people there. You’re sure more would come once people start to hear about the battle, but you’d enjoy the quieter-than-usual stands for now.

Mask’s back on the cargo box in the middle of the stage, it seems he sent that text message to the Blue Team then didn’t bother moving. Designer is sitting on the ground, leaning back against the same cargo box that Mask is on, Gameboy in hand. Luna and Jersey are doing the same, while Jersey is looking over her shoulder to watch Luna play whatever video game she has inserted in her DS.

‘Looks like typical Cyan team alright.’

You smile to yourself, enjoying how much more lively - if you can call it that - the characters seem. They seem less like, well, characters from a manga. Less lifeless and 2d. Sure, they’re just being lazy, but seeing the way Jersey’s eyes light up when Luna presumably does well or seeing Designer move his Gameboy in the way you would in MarioKart, even though it’s useless, only reminds you that you’re really there. Mask shifts his phone from one hand to the other, you assume he’s watching anime while waiting for his opponents. It almost seems careless, but you know he has the strength to back it up.

He notices the Blue Team’s presence before you do, and he introduces himself. The way he says he’s a part of the S4 is almost scary, you’re sure a sense of dread would wash over any other opponent. But Team Blue sure is built differently, and that’s what’s going to give them their win today.

‘Oh, never mind,’ you think after hearing the way Headphones screeches in terror, and how surprised Specs is.

“I caaaan’t believe you guys actually fell for that text message…you idioooots.”

“I thought it might be a trap.”

You look beside you, recognizing Rider’s voice right away. It almost seems as if that was directed at you, the way he said it. You hadn’t noticed him before, probably because you were too focused on Cyan Team.

Goggles tries to hype up his team, but Mask cuts them off, denying his optimism and stating the usual “I hate all inkings who enjoy life.” shenanigans.

“You wooon’t be smiling once I’m done with youuu.”

‘Yeah, okay, then beat them, Mask. ’ You think to yourself, mocking the way he overestimates himself.

The Squid Sisters announce the teams, and it the battle starts. Both teams begin inking, and you notice how the Cyan team moves in one at a time. It doesn’t seem very effective, but they each have their own area to cover, along with the strength to do so. The one to move in the farthest away from spawn is Luna, which makes sense as she’s the first to attack with her sub-weapon. Ink mine.

‘I guess it’d be kinda dumb to put ink mines right at spawn, figures that she’s out first.’

Jersey’s up next, attacking for a second to distract Specs after placing a sprinkler, just long enough for him to successfully get splatted. Next comes Designer’s disrupter. It slows Goggles down enough for Mask to unleash a Seeker bomb, splatting Goggles without any effort. You hear Mask snicker while watching Goggles’ little squid-ghost float away, it looks like he’s enjoying the battle. Not for long, though. You remember this panel, and although it’s hard to see under his gasmask, you know that he’s smiling.

You lean forwards, wanting to hear Mask announce those scary words. You wouldn’t wanna go up against this.

“This is our… Sub Weapon Hell!”

You smile at that and sit back in your seat, enjoying the way Mask is crushing his opponent with minimal effort. For the time being. You giggle at Bobble when she remarks that it’s not fair play. But hey, if the Judd-ges don’t call you out for it then it works.

And since when do Carbon rollers splat in one shot when rolled over? Bobble must have already been weakened, you figure.

“Hey. You swing your roller down before running your opponent over, though.” Rider projects his voice enough for Mask to hear and respond, and you just shrug your shoulders.

The Cyan team spreads out, ready to attack from any angle. Mask sneaks up behind headphones and Specs.

“Does he have Ninja Squid? That sounds perfect for him. I bet he has sub saver, ink saver, and special charge-up. Speaking of, usually, the gasmask comes with tenacity, right? But his teammates don’t die very much, so maybe the main ability is Special Charge up too?” You focus back on the battle before you. You lean forward once again, knowing what’s coming.

“Oh, here comes Mask’s bomb rush! Seekers sound like a pain to avoid for this one.”

There’s barely any time to dodge the barrage of seekers, and Goggles gets crushed by the bombs. It looks like it inked a fair part of the stage, too. Bobble is the only one left unsplatted, and here comes the turnaround. Mask does his best to scare her, but his efforts are futile when Bobble makes him rethink the way he battles.

You’re disappointed in the way such a high-ranker like him just lets himself be struck by the inkstrike, even if he was slightly distracted. You shake your head and frown slightly. But it looks like that might be a weakness that should be written down in your manual, assuming he’s not used to being uncertain of things. How did that Inkstrike manage to get all of Team Cyan anyways, were they really all grouped up that close? What a noob move. You start to rethink his rank, but then you remember how unbeatable they seemed to be just a few minutes ago and chalk it up to maybe Mask just having an off day or something. It still sucks, but it’s not like you’re there to battle beside him and help him. Ah, it looks like Jersey doesn’t have Ninja Squid. Skill issue. Mask gets distracted once again, underestimating goggles and letting him attack from behind. Oh, how the tables have turned.

Rider chimes in again, seemingly proud of Team Blue. That’s cute, you’re glad to see some character development from him, too.

You chuckle when you hear Luna mention the idea of ‘cursing’ Team Blue. Again, typical Team Cyan. It’s really too bad you aren’t friends with anyone, or the fact that you’re not allowing yourself to be known, because hanging out with these squids does seem fun. Yeah, just imagine having a Mario Kart tournament between Team Cyan! Oh well, that’s too bad. You pick up your weapon and bag, giving the battleground one last look before leaving. Mask gives them the Skull warning, and they overlook it. Something that will be quickly regretted. With your back turned, Rider’s about to reach out towards you, but hesitates. ‘Maybe some other time,’ he thinks.

PLAY: LEVIATHAN

CALLSIGN // Leviathan

NAME // Maverick "Mavie" Angelo Zhào

CLASSIFICATION // Radiant

As hardy and stubborn as the ancient water beast, Leviathan can be described in one word: tenacious. With both fangs that deposit venom into their pray and a tongue that cuts into their enemies, they can hardly be called a team-player. A person as slippery as their namesake, Levi can be found all around the world. No history can be attached to the trail of dead bodies they leave in their wake, yet it seems that these 'overdose' victims seem to leave no mourning families at their passings either. Thus, while the international bounty is certainly there for the form-changing thief, the need is currently not dire enough to warrant a full international cooperation. Still, any sort of radiant operating outside of the law independently is alarming enough to leave untreated, regardless of their vigilante status. Not to mention how the the scope of Leviathan's abilities is left frighteningly undocumented. This leaves only street reputation to make assumptions off of, and theirs is far from friendly. Usually, this scares off any party vying to slay the sea beast for their own agendas, and those stupid enough to wander into the storm are left helpless against the tricky Leviathan. That is, parties that aren't the VALORANT Protocol.

_______

Passive Blood Tax: When killed, the floor is stained by sickly, toxic blood that applies decay to enemies standing in its radius.

Signature Ability Rip Current: (SPLATOON SQUID MOMENT) activate once to establish the rip current, the directory in which Leviathan will travel after activating the second time. Hold to place the end point further, can travel up short walls. Upon second activation, Leviathan will disappear into the tide and reach the other end within a second. This ability recharges after 2 kills. Free, rechargable.

Refraction: Appears as a random agent from the enemy team and is indistinguishable from the team's allies for a maximum of 20 seconds. When Leviathan uses another ability, is fired at, or fires during the duration of Refraction, they transform into a translucent, intangible form that takes 80% decreased damage and gains a speed buff for 3 seconds. Likewise, they return back to normal vulnerability if they fire or use other abilities. 350 credits.

Predation: All damaged opponents' locations are revealed to Leviathan for 3 seconds, with blood trails leading to the remaining for 6. Opponents damaged by Leviathan directly are affected by their venom; they are slowed for 3 seconds and lose 20% of their current health for 6 seconds before recovering. 400 credits.

Ultimate Bloodlust: Lasting for a maximum of 15 seconds, Leviathan becomes a large Hydra beast made out of pure aquatic energy. They lock onto the weakest enemy in a certain radius, dashing forward (same speed as Skye's seekers) with its three heads separating. These heads may be individually destroyed, with the two on the side having 25 points of health and the central one having 150 (regardless of Leviathan's health prior to activating the ultimate). Likewise, the side heads deal 30 damage each while the center one deals 90. If all heads are destroyed, Leviathan is exposed with 20% of their health prior to using the ultimate gone with a gained attack buff for 10 seconds. 8 orbs
