It's time. The final report from the Squid Research Lab detailing the signing sensations Callie and Marie and how their lives have changed since the final Splatfest. We continue after Callie mysteriously failed to show up at the train station, leaving Marie in disarray for her sister.
The final chapter sees Marie venturing to Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack for help, only to find the snow globe that once held DJ Octavio shattered. A quick trip to Inkopolis then puts the situation into perspective for Marie as once again The Great Zapfish has disappeared. With chaos surely in sight, Marie decides it's time to "enlist a brave recruit to help investigate the depths of the Octarians' underground base".
The full chapter 7 extract reads:
Quick as she could, Marie arrived in Octo Valley. Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack was completely deserted. The shack itself was undisturbed, but the snow globe that had stood beside it was a shattered wreck – pieces of glass littered the landscape. Callie was nowhere to be found, and the scene failed to offer up any clues. With a heavy heart, Marie made her way back to Inkopolis.
The city was buzzing with unbelievable news. The Great Zapfish had disappeared! It had vanished once before, but reappeared shortly thereafter. The people of the city consoled each other, saying, "Chill out! It won't be gone long this time, either!" Marie alone shivered in trepidation. "Could he possibly be at it again?"
Marie made up her mind to get to the bottom of this. But if their adversary was who she suspected, this problem would have no quick and easy solution. Cap'n Cuttlefish wasn't around to help this time. Her worry for Callie overshadowed everything, and before long, the squidizens of Inkopolis would begin to notice Callie's absence. If Marie were to disappear, too, at a time like this, it would only add to the chaos. But what else could she do?
There was no choice but to find help, and quickly. Just as Cap'n Cuttlefish had done before, she would need to enlist a brave recruit to help investigate the depths of the Octarians' underground base. Thanks to her fame, though, Marie stood out like a sore tentacle in Inkopolis. She had to keep the number of people who knew about the new Octarian threat to a minimum. Secrecy and discretion were, after all, of the utmost importance when it came to the operations of the Squidbeak Splatoon.
Suddenly, the conversation she'd had with Callie at Arowana Mall came rushing back to her. Word on the street was that all the freshest Inklings were hanging out and battling for turf in a new part of town. Surely she could find someone there with the perfect blend of talent and bravery this daring task required. Her mind made up, Marie set her sights on the new center of squid kid culture, Inkopolis Square!
The story continues in Splatoon 2…
With this new information it appears Marie will be recruiting a new fresh Inkling to help investigate the disappearance of Callie. Last night Nintendo also released a trailer showcasing single player mode and a hint of what is going on between the Squid Sisters. Check out the trailer below:
Are you looking forward to continuing the story in the Splatoon 2 single player mode?

(sniffle) That was the greatest story since rosalina's storybook. So many twists and turns lead up to a satisfying conclusion!
So Callie broke Octavio out? Wonderful.
Thanks Marie fans.
I don't like how they used the final splatfest as a plot device.
@Shard1 I do. Very cool and meta.
@Shard1 i do like it too. I'm really hyped about this, can't wait to play it!!
This was pretty cool, makes me more hyped up for this!
"You don't know who I am? For eel?"
This all sounds pretty fishy to me
I guessed yesterday that DJ Octavio is the final boss and that he's the reason why Callie is missing. This has just made me more confident that I'm right.
Hopefully I'm wrong. I don't like things being predictable. Surprises are great.
@BLP_Software it really is the end.
Thank goodness these awful fan fictions are over, and thank goodness the real story looks way better than As the Squid Turns.
Moon Cosmic Power...MAAAAAKEEEEE-
Oh wait sorry wrong woman. Seriously though, that pic totally looks like Tsukino Usagi mid henshin.
@Dev maybe it wasn't callie. octopi are known for their camo bodies. it could be an octo-copy or an octo-mimic.
The big shadow at the end of the trailer is clearly Marie...villain time!
@FGPackers
Not saying I'm not excited for the game, just saying that to me it feels kind of cheap to use an online event as a macguffin for Callie's turn to evil.
Needless to say, will be interesting.
I'm very intrigued by how this story will play out in the game.
...Why is the gun between her legs?
Well, in other news, I guess this means the Octarians won't be playable.
@ProjectCafe Because she is seated? how else would you hold it an keep it upright? I don't understand your confusion.
Poor Callie. The Splatfest condemned her..... it will be nice material for the waifu wars topics!
@Ryu_Niiyama
Uh, beside you, laying across and on top of your lap, against your back... You could really get creative with it. Use it as a chair.
It's probably best you don't understand my confusion, or rather, my completely unfounded suspicion.
Never mind...
@ProjectCafe Most of those positions don't keep the gun upright and given the super soaker/nerf esque nature of those guns most of the placements you described aren't practical either. Beside you, if you get ambushed it is isn't ready. Across your lap again if a inkling just pops up you aren't ready to attack, against your back (i hope the splat fest is over otherwise...) chair? I don't want to know. I used to use the super soaker with the big pack as a kid and would sit similar to that if I was trying to take a break but didn't want to be ambushed. Not quite the same because I would try to find a curb or step to sit on but yeah sitting like that keeps it from cramping your wrist but allows you to be ready to shoot pretty easily.
...since usually when guys say "you don't understand my initial thought process" usually means some sort of sexualization is going on I'm going to sidestep this convo now in hopes that you just didn't think about her remaining battle ready. I haven't checked your profile to determine your gender/sex so forgive the assumption if you are are female. Please don't correct me if I'm wrong. It's too early in the morning to deal with that.
@Ryu_Niiyama
I said "never mind", didn't I?
And I acknowledged it as completely unfounded.
And no, I never took into account the possibility of opponents' ambushes, either. I thought that was just a pose for a shot or something. Neither was I talking about sitting on the gun, WHILE it's upright. That's not what I was implying. It would be on its side, laying across.
And just so you know, a lot of guys would agree with me. I know that.
I'm gonna sidestep this convo too.
