Squigley no Densetsu - A Splatoon 2 Fan-fiction Webseries by GeekyGamerZack
March 26th 2018, 8:44 pm
Hi all, and welcome to a tale that is ACTUALLY based on something Nintendo! (One wonders why I haven't posted a Nintendo fanseries to a Nintendo fan forum before now...)
In this tale, we meet a young Inkling who awakens in the middle of Inkopolis Square with no memory of how he got there, and also no memory of his past. (Okay, before you jump to conclusions, this is NOT a Splatoon version of Crystals of Silveria. But I digress...)
The one thing that he does remember is that he is convinced that he is something called a "human", but only one other Inkling, a girl named Squilma, believes him enough to help him find his place in Inkopolis. (Or maybe she only pretends to believe him so she can find out what REALLY happened to him...)
If you're expecting an in-depth, well-written adventure in the style of Crystals of Silveria, then you've come to the right place! If, on the other hand, you're looking for something absurd, silly and very fan-fiction-y, then you've come to the right place! This is a delicious, squiddy buffet of reading for all! (Ugh, already with the aquatic puns...I've lost half the readers already...)
This series is planned to be told in eight episodes, with one episode each week that's broken up into five daily "webisodes". So, without further ado, I present to you all, the first segment of Squid Rescue Time! (A Pokémon Mystery Dungeon reference...*shakes head*)

Episode 1: Squid Rescue Time!
AKA "The Pilot Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
Come on, Splattershot...ink that turf...
...
Uh-oh, an opponent! Gyro, don't fail me now...
...
YES! I splatted that-
...!
What the?! Ugh...always the Dualies...I need to practice more...
...
Whoa...feeling dizzy...my head is-
Scene 2: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Five more minutes, Mum...
...
Mum, stop poking me...!
We see a view of someone's field of vision as their eyes open. They are looking at a blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.
Someone's thoughts: How did I get outside...? And what keeps poking m-
Suddenly, a round, blue bulbous head with googly eyes comes into view. It holds up a tentacle and waves.
Someone: WAAH!
Someone suddenly sits up and moves back as far as he can. The creature approaches.
Someone: What are you?! Stay away!
A number of individuals stand around the area. They appear human, though their eyes are surrounded by black rings that connect over the tops of their noses, and their hair is brightly-coloured and tentacle-like. A few stare at Someone.
Someone: Could anyone PLEASE tell me what's going on?!
One of the people, a girl with short, pink tentacles and orange eyes, approaches Someone.
Girl: (Are you okay, dude?)
Someone: What...?
Girl: (You're freaking out. You look like you just saw an Octarian or something!)
Someone: I'm sorry...I...
Girl: (Sorry? For what?)
Someone: I don't speak your language.
Girl: (Say what?)
Someone: I can't understand a word you're saying!
Girl: (Well, you sound like you're speaking fluent Inkling to me!)
Someone: I can't...I don't-
The girl sighs.
Girl: (I'm taking you to Ammo Knights. Maybe Sheldon can help you.)
The girl grabs Someone's hand and pulls him to his feet, before pulling him away.
Someone: Hey, wait a minute!
To be Continued...
- Part 2:
- Scene 3: Ammo Knights: Inkopolis Square: Morning
The girl drags Someone into Ammo Knights, an emporium that sells a vast selection of weapons. A horseshoe crab sits in the middle of the floor.
Girl: (Sheldon! We need your help!)
Someone: I'm confused and scared and I don't understand ANY of what's going on!
The horseshoe crab pops up into the air, revealing a humanoid figure underneath. Someone begins to panic.
Crab: (Oh, a fresh face! Hello there, friend! My name is Sheldon, and I-)
Someone: Seriously? Does EVERYONE speak this weird language?!
Sheldon scratches his helmet.
Sheldon: (Weird...? I find the intricacies of the Inkling language to be positively fascinating, almost as fascinating as the weapons I create and sell, in fact.)
Someone: I'm sorry, I don't understand you.
Sheldon's eyes widen.
Sheldon: (I didn't think anyone could be so...hurtful.)
Sheldon begins to sob. The girl shakes her head.
Girl: (Don't take it personally, Shelster. This guy claims he can't understand Inkling.)
Someone: This is like a bad dream...it HAS to be...
Someone pinches his arm.
Someone: Hm...well, so much for THAT theory...
Sheldon smiles.
Sheldon: (He can't understand your language? Well, why didn't you say so sooner, Squilma? I have JUST the thing to help our new friend!)
Sheldon walks up to the counter and picks up a glass of pink liquid.
Sheldon: (This should do the trick.)
Sheldon walks up to Someone and hands him the glass.
Someone: What's this?
Sheldon: (It's juice, but I imagine you think I said it's one of Aunty Flow's weird potions.)
Someone: Is it some kind of elixir?
Sheldon raises an eyebrow.
Sheldon: (Well...close enough, I suppose. Now, drink up!)
Someone: I guess I should drink this, then?
Squilma: (Wow, he's good at pointing out the obvious, isn't he?)
Someone guzzles the juice in five seconds flat.
Someone: Ooh, fruity!
Sheldon: (Do you feel better, friend?)
Someone: So...is there a way I can understand your language, or do I need to study?
Sheldon appears surprised.
Sheldon: (I was sure he was merely dehydrated. I know I have trouble memorising things when my fluid levels are low!)
Squilma: (So what, he's stuck like this?)
Sheldon: (I'm afraid so.)
Squilma frowns.
Squilma: Well, that's just great! I try to help someone and look what happens!
Someone looks at Squilma.
Squilma: I should've just left him lying in the middle of the square! I mean, he freaked out after seeing a JELLYFISH!
Someone's eyes widen.
Someone: You were gonna LEAVE ME THERE?!
Squilma: No, I-
Squilma stares at Someone.
Squilma: You...can understand me...?
Someone: Yes, I can-
Someone pauses.
Someone: Hey, I can understand you!
Squilma: You can understand me!
Someone: I can understand you!
Squilma: You can understand me!
Someone: I can understa-
Sheldon: Can you understand ME?
Someone looks at Sheldon.
Someone: Yep!
Sheldon: That is wonderful! In that case, allow me to explain what I do. I make and sell weapons for use in the ancient ritual of Turf War.
Someone looks at the shelves.
Someone: You use weapons...in rituals?
Sheldon: Of course! The most popular is called the Splattershot, which is the most basic of Shooter category weapons. It can shoot ink at a rate that allows for fast coverage of the ground, and is also excellent at taking down targets. Now, the trick to mastering the Splattershot is this: aim well. To allow for easy aiming, a reticle is built into every unit. All it takes is the press of a button and you can target rivals in an easy, simple and user-friendly manner. When it comes to inking turf, however, there is a setting for that, which just so happens to be another button right next to the one for activating the reticle. Be sure to choose the correct button for the task at hand, however, otherwise you'll be splatted and forced to respawn, which will make things easier for the opposing team and harder for yours! Now, back to the technical specifications of the Splattershot...
Two hours later...
Someone stares at Sheldon as he talks about the Splattershot. Squilma looks absolutely bored.
Sheldon: ...and allows for an easy win for your team! Do you have any questions, my friend?
Someone: Uh...could you run that by me one more time?
Squilma's jaw drops.
Sheldon: Certainly! The most popular Weapon is called the Splattershot, which is the most basic of Shooter category weapons. It can shoot ink at a rate that allows for-
Suddenly, loud screams can be heard from outside.
Sheldon: My word, something is happening in Inkopolis Square!
Squilma mutters under her breath.
Squilma: Thank freshness...
Someone: What's going on?!
Squilma: Based on the screams, either there's been a celebrity sighting...or the Octarians are attacking Inkopolis!
Sheldon: The Octarians?! NOOOOOOO!!
Squilma: Come on, kid! Let's help those people!
Someone: What-
Squilma grabs Someone's hand and pulls him outside.
Someone: WAIT A SECOND!
Sheldon stares at the door.
Sheldon: I don't know who he is...but he should pay more attention when people are speaking to him...
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 4: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squilma pulls someone across Inkopolis Square.
Squilma: Where are the Octarians?! I'm gonna ink them into next October!
A nearby Inkling screams. She has a big smile on her face.
Squilma: Uh...that's not the reaction I was expecting from anyone...
Inkling: IT'S OFF THE HOOK!
Squilma: Huh?
Squilma pulls Someone through the crowd. Two individuals are nearby: a short female Inkling with pearl white tentacles tipped with bubblegum pink, and a girl resembling an Inkling, though with dark-toned, teal-tipped tentacles that look like those of an Octopus.
Squilma: Oh, it's just Pearl and Marina.
Someone: "Pearl and Marina"?
Squilma smiles.
Squilma: Yeah, Off the Hook. They're only the hottest musical act in Inkopolis!
Someone: "Inkopolis"?
Squilma: Yes, Inkopolis, as in the city in which you currently stand. Why do you think there are so many Inklings here?
Someone: "Inklings"?
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Okay, you're just kidding, right? Take a look at your reflection, for crying out loud!
Someone: Okay then...
Someone looks at a nearby reflected surface. His reflection suggests he is also an Inkling.
Squilma: See? You're an Inkling, just like me.
Someone: What? I'm not an Inkling!
Squilma: Say what?
Someone: I'm a human!
Squilma laughs. Her expression becomes serious as she sees Someone's face.
Squilma: Oh, you're serious. You actually believe you're a mythical creature.
Someone: But I AM a human...at least...I THINK I am...
Squilma: Dude, you are SO not a human.
Someone examines his reflection. He touches his fringe of tentacles.
Someone: What happened to my hair? It's all green and tentacle-y.
Squilma: That's because you're an Inkling.
Someone draws circles around and between his eyes with his finger.
Someone: And why do I have black rings around my eyes?
Squilma: Again, you're an Inkling.
Someone examines his fingertips.
Someone: No fingernails...?
Squilma: You keep nails on your fingers?
Someone shakes his head, before running his hands across his torso.
Someone: And why aren't I wearing a shirt?
Squilma: Dude. You. Are. An. Inkling!
Someone scratches his head.
Someone: I guess I AM an Inkling...
Squilma facepalms.
Squilma: NOW he gets it...
Squilma tilts her head as she looks at Someone. She smiles.
Squilma: You know, you're kind of weird...in a good way. What's your name?
Someone: Oh, I'm-
Someone pauses.
Someone: I don't remember...
Squilma squints her right eye.
Squilma: What kind of name is that?
Someone: No, I literally can't remember my name!
Squilma frowns.
Squilma: I don't like it when people say "literally" all the time.
Someone: I'm not kidding! I don't remember who I am or where I came from!
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Seriously?
Someone begins to panic.
Someone: This is bad! Wh-What do I do?!
Squilma places her hand on Someone's shoulder.
Squilma: Hey, hey...relax, dude. It'll be okay.
Someone calms down.
Someone: It will?
Squilma: Sure! I'll help you out until you get your memories back.
Someone: And if they DON'T come back?
Squilma grins.
Squilma: Then I guess I'll be stuck with you.
Someone: O-Okay then...
Squilma: You can crash at my pad. I have an extra bed after my roommate left.
Someone smiles.
Someone: Thank you.
Squilma: Don't mention it. Now, to think of a name...
Someone: A name?
Squilma: Well, duh! Everyone needs a name!
Someone: Well...what do you suggest?
Squilma: Hm...how about "Squigley"?
Someone ponders the idea.
Someone: Yeah...yeah, I like it! Just call me Squigley!
Squilma: Of course.
Squigley sees a purple squid nearby. The squid waves a tentacle at him.
Squigley: What's that thing?
Squilma looks at the squid.
Squilma: Oh, that's Squika. He's also a weird one.
Squigley: In a good way, right?
Squilma: Um...anyway, let's get you fed. I know just the place!
Squigley: Lead on!
Squilma and Squigley begin to walk away.
Squilma's thoughts: This kid really thought he was a human...maybe I should stick with him, at least for now...who knows, maybe we'll learn what happened to him and his memories...
We hear a splashing sound behind Squilma.
Squigley: Uh...Squilma? What happened to me?
Squilma slowly turns around.
Squilma: I'm sure it's nothing, Squig-
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: -ley. Oh, boy...
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 5: Ate & Switch: Afternoon
Squigley and Squilma sit at a table at Ate & Switch, a popular restaurant and video game shop.
Squilma: So? How was your meal?
Squigley: Delicious. I've never had anything like it! Um...what was it?
Squilma: It's called a burger.
Squigley: Oh...
Squilma: I thought you could use a meal after your ordeal.
Squilma's thoughts: Heh...that rhymes. I could be the next Off the Hook!
Squigley: I can't believe I spontaneously transformed into a squid five times on the way here! Uh-oh...
Squigley transforms into a green squid.
Squigley: Make that six, I guess.
Squilma: You probably don't have full control of your transformation ability yet.
Squigley: Makes sense, since I'm a-
Squilma: If you say "human", I'm gonna lose my ink!
Squigley frowns.
Squigley: Sorry...
Squilma: There may be a way to help you, though...
Squigley: Really?
Squilma: Sure! I just...haven't thought of it yet...
Squigley facetentacles.
Squigley: I might've guessed...
Squilma: Well, maybe Sheldon has some advice?
Squigley: It's worth a shot, I guess...
Squilma: Excellent! Then let's proceed back to Sheldon's place!
Squigley: Can do!
Squigley falls off his seat as he tries to stand up.
Squilma: Um...maybe try to stand AFTER changing back to kid form...
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 6: Ammo Knights: Afternoon
Squigley - in kid form - and Squilma walk into Ammo Knights. Sheldon pops up and greets the two Inklings.
Sheldon: Ah, welcome back, Age-
Sheldon pauses.
Sheldon: Ah, welcome back, Squilma and friend! I trust you gave those Octarians what-for?
Squilma: Actually, it was just a mob of fans oogling over an Off the Hook sighting in the square.
Sheldon: Oh, I see. I kind of like the musical stylings of Off the Hook. My favourite song is Color Pulse, which is the theme song for the greatest ritual of all! Would you like to know more, my new friend!
Squigley: Sure, I guess.
Sheldon is delighted.
Sheldon: Wonderful! Now, the Turf War is the most basic of all rituals, and indeed, it provides the foundation for the magnificent wonder that is the Spla-
Squilma: Uh...perhaps you could tell us later, Sheldon?
Sheldon appears glum.
Sheldon: Oh, very well...*sniff*
Squilma: Right now, there's something wrong with Squigley.
Sheldon: Who is Squigley?
Squigley raises his right hand.
Squigley: Right here!
Sheldon: Oh, you have a name! I guess I no longer need to call you "my friend", do I?
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: So we're NOT friends?!
Sheldon panics.
Sheldon: Oh, no no no! I-I...that came out entirely incorrectly, my friend!
Squilma: Squigley keeps changing from kid to-
Squigley changes into squid form.
Squilma: -squid.
Sheldon: Well, of course. That is the signature ability of the common Inkling, isn't it?
Squilma: Yeah, but he's doing it randomly! He's at least 14, so shouldn't he be able to control the transformation?
Squigley: What? I'm not 14! I'm actually-
Squigley changes back to kid form.
Squigley: Wow, this is weird...
Sheldon: Well, it might have something to do with his lack of gear.
Squilma: Um...what?
Sheldon: Aside from his shorts, Squigley is wearing no gear at all! No footwear, no clothing, no headgear, and most importantly-
Squilma: How could THAT be it...?
Sheldon: -no weapon.
Squigley: Weapon? But...why would I need a weapon?
Squilma and Sheldon are both surprised.
Squilma: What? How can you even SAY that, Squiggles?!
Squigley scratches his head.
Squigley: I...thought my name was "Squigley"...?
Sheldon: My friend, EVERY Inkling needs a weapon in order to participate in Turf War!
Squigley: But...why would I want to Turf War?
Squilma and Sheldon collapse to the ground, their legs poking awkwardly in the air.
Squigley: What did I say?
Scene 7: Squilma's Pad: Evening
Squigley - in squid form - and Squilma walk into a nice-looking apartment.
Squilma: Well, here we are, Squigley: my very own pad.
Squigley: It's nice.
Squilma: "Nice"...? Are you kidding? It's the freshest apartment on this floor! EVERYONE loves hanging out here!
Squilma's thoughts: Although..."everyone" may be a little bit of a complete stretch...
Squigley: But can equipping some of this "gear" really stop me from-
Squigley changes back to kid form.
Squigley: -flipping between forms?
Squilma: After 50 return transformations, I just don't know...
Squigley: Well, where do I get some gear, anyway?
Squilma: Hm...I guess I could take you to the Galleria tomorrow.
Squigley: "The Galleria"...?
Squilma: Dude, you were there today! Remember Ammo Knights? That's part of the Galleria, the freshest shopping precinct in Inkopolis!
Squigley: Really? 'Cause I overheard some Inklings mention something called "The Reef"...
Squilma: Anyway, you can use that gear in the corner.
Squigley looks at a corner near a reddish-pink couch. A neatly-folded yellow t-shirt and sweatband rest on top of a black foot-rest, and a pair of beige-coloured shoes sits next to it.
Squigley: Really?
Squilma: Hey, they've been dry-cleaned...
Squilma's thoughts: ...I think...
Squigley: Okay then.
Squilma: Oh, your room's through there. Don't worry, the bed has fresh sheets...
Squilma's thoughts: ...I think...
Squigley: Cool. Thanks.
Squilma: Don't mention it. Oh, and feel free to use that notebook on the table just there.
Squilma points to a blue-covered notebook on top of what resembles a coffee table.
Squigley: Thank you.
Squilma: No prob. Anyway, I'm going out to do some...private things. Make yourself at home. There's juice in the fridge if you're thirsty. It's still safe to drink...
Squilma's thoughts: ...I think...
Squigley: I could use a glass of water instead, if that's okay.
Squilma: Water?! Look, I get that you have amnesia and all, but even YOU should know that water is lethal to us Inklings!
Squigley: It is?
Squilma: Yes! So Don't. Drink. The. Water. Got it?
Squigley: Uh...right.
Squilma: Good. I'll...uh...be back by morning.
Squilma leaves the apartment. Squigley sits on the couch and picks up the notebook and a pen.
Squigley: I guess I could start writing a journal...?
Squigley's thoughts: Eh, I'll do it tomorrow...I'm too tired to...zzz...
- Squigley's Journal:
- Wow, my first journal...what to write...
Well, yesterday, I woke up in a place called Inkopolis Square with no memory of who I am or where I came from. That jellyfish freaked me out, what with its poking and looking all googly-eyed and squishy - talk about a rude awakening!
Squilma's been a big help. She took me to the Galleria today, but they had to special order my gear, and it won't turn up 'til next Tuesday! How am I gonna wait until then wearing this gear?!
Oh, and Sheldon gave me something called a "Splattershot Jr.". Apparently it's designed for the "freshest of Inklings" looking to get into Turf War. I still don't like the idea, but Squilma assures me it's a lot of fun, and it's a good way to earn Cash, so I'm willing to give it a try. Who knows? I might have a lot of fun!
Squilma even had a photo taken with me, and she said I could "do what I want with it", so I'm gonna put it right here in my journal. I don't know where I'd be without her...well, probably still lying outside Shella Fresh being tormented by jellyfish, I suppose.
I don't know why Squilma's laughing so hard in this photo. My joke wasn't THAT funny...anyway, 'til next time!
Squigley

Episode 2: Surf and Turf!
AKA "The Turf War Episode"
AKA "The Turf War Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squilma leads Squigley through Inkopolis Square.
Squilma: Ah, what a beautiful morning, Squiggles...the perfect time to train you in the art of Turf War!
Squigley rubs his eyes.
Squigley: But it's so early in the morning...is the Galleria even open at this hour?
Squilma: Come on, dude. The Galleria is open 24/7!
Squigley: But don't the staff ever sleep?
Squilma: Eh, sleep is overrated. I mean, It's not like we HAVE to sleep!
Squigley yawns.
Squigley: Speak for yourself...
Voice: COO-EE!
Squilma groans.
Squilma: Oh, FRESH no...
Squigley: What's wrong?
A female Inkling with two long, orange tentacles and a pair of stylish headphones walks up to Squigley and Squilma.
Inkling: Well, well...I totes didn't expect to see YOU here this early in the morning, Squilma.
Squilma frowns.
Squilma: What do you want, Inklinda?
The Inkling's eyes widen.
Inklinda: What? Can't an Inkling have a friendly chat with her BFF?
Squilma: "BFF"? Since when are we friends?!
Inklinda laughs.
Inklinda: Friends? Oh, Squilma, you, like, NEED to keep up with the freshest junk!
Squilma: I don't follow.
Inklinda shakes her head.
Inklinda: BFF stands for "Best Frenemone Forever". That's what I like about you! You're, like, always so naïve and clueless!
Squilma: Me? Clueless? I'm pretty sure your boyfriend is WAY more clueless than me!
Inklinda: You wish! And he's NOT my boyfriend! He's just a guy who happens to also be my bestie.
Squilma sees a male Inkling with royal blue tied-back tentacles, a blue hoodie and goggles wandering around aimlessly nearby.
Squilma: Let's test your theory. HEY, INKLEIN! OVER HERE!
The Inkling sees Squilma waving. He grins and walks up to the group.
Inklein: Hey, you're that chick who's always playing that turf thing with Lindie, right?
Squilma: Uh...yeah. I'm Squilma.
Inklein: Wilma?
Squilma's brow flattens.
Squilma: Sure...now, can you tell me what the best-selling single by the Squid Sisters is called?
Inklein: Uh...Color Pulse?
Squilma giggles.
Squilma: And who owns Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe?
Inklein: Uh...you?
Squilma giggles.
Squilma: And what does a Zapfish do?
Inklein: Uh...zaps fish?
Squilma grins at Inklinda.
Inklinda: Oh, big deal! So you're a LITTLE smarter than Inklein? At least you're not as good as me at Turf War!
Squilma: Are you kidding? WE'RE THE SAME FRESHING LEVEL!
Inklinda: Such colourful language from such a young lady! I expected better!
Inklinda looks at Squigley.
Inklinda: Um...do you, like, mind? This is a private conversation.
Squigley blushes.
Squigley: Oh...um-
Squilma grabs Squigley's upper arm with both her hands.
Squilma: Don't be mean to Squigley!
Inklinda's eyes widen.
Inklinda: You mean you're, like, FRIENDS with this noob? HAHAHAHAHA!
Squilma: He's not a noob! He's actually suffering amnesia, if you must know!
Squigley: I...uh...I feel like I'm causing problems...
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: No you're not!
Inklinda: You really ARE dumb, aren't you?
Squilma's eyes appear to ignite, and her grip on Squigley's arm tightens.
Squilma: TAKE THAT BACK!
Squigley: Um...you're hurting my...
Inklinda: This kid gets it. He IS causing problems.
Squilma: I'm WARNING you...
Inklinda: Look, just stop helping losers if you want to retain what little cred you've got, 'kay?
Squigley wrestles from Squilma's grip and begins to walk away.
Squilma: Hey, Squigley! Where are you going?
Squigley: I'm just gonna go...I don't want you to be ridiculed because of me.
Squigley walks away.
Squilma: SQUIGLEY, WAIT!
Squilma glares at Inklinda.
Squilma: We'll settle this ink-to-ink.
Inklinda: Wait...is my frenemone challenging me to a private Turf War?
Squilma: You just name the time and place.
Inklinda: Okay...two days from now. The Reef. Be there.
Squilma: I'll be ready.
Squilma chases after Squigley. Inklein scratches his head.
Inklein: Wait...are we extras in an episode of Crays of our Chives...?
Inklinda sighs and shakes her head.
Inklinda: Oh, Inklein, my simple-minded guy-friend...what am I gonna, like, do with you or whatever?

- Part 2:
- Scene 2: Deca Tower: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squilma approaches the entrance to Deca Tower, the hub for all Turf War shenanigans.
Squilma: Now, if I were Squigley, I...probably wouldn't be outside Deca Tower, to be honest...
Squilma sees Squigley sitting nearby.
Squilma: Of course, this isn't the first time I've been wrong about something...
***
We wipe to a flashback scene. Squilma is giggling.
Squilma: What? That's absurd! The Great Zapfish isn't missing!
***
We wipe back to the present. Squilma approaches Squigley, who looks depressed.
Squilma: Hey, dude. Are you okay?
Squigley looks at his feet and sighs.
Squigley: I feel so useless. I mean...I have no memory of who I am...I thought I was a freaking HUMAN, for crying out loud!
Squilma: Well, you're not the WEIRDEST Inkling in this city...
Squilma notices Squika waving a tentacle at her. She looks away.
Squilma's thoughts: Why is he always in my field of vision...?
Squigley: I just...I don't think it's a good idea for me to be hanging around here. I'm just a dorky dweeb, after all...
Squilma: Nonsense!
A couple of Inklings approach the doors to Deca Tower.
Inkling #1: Hey, get a load of the dweeb!
Squigley sighs. The two Inklings enter the tower. One of them is carrying a plate of fried food.
Inkling #2: No, that's not a dweeb. It's a Crusty Seanwich!
Inkling #1: Oh yeah...I always get those two names mixed up.
We cut back to Squigley and Squilma.
Squilma: Well, there IS a way to fix that, y'know...
Squigley looks up.
Squigley: How?
Squilma: Well...the stores in the Galleria should have your specially-ordered gear, right?
Squigley is delighted.
Squigley: Oh yeah...I forgot! Let's go right now!
Squigley runs from the tower entrance and turns left.
Squilma: No, Squiggles...that's the way to The Shoal!
Squigley awkwardly walks past the tower entrance in the opposite direction.
Squigley: I knew that.
Squilma shakes her head.
Squilma: He has a LOT to learn...
Scene 3: Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe: Morning
Squigley and Squilma enter Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe, a retailer that specialises in clothing. A jellyfish with a t-shirt, bowtie and hat greets them.
Jellyfish: Fair morning to thou fair children of ink!
Squilma: 'Sup, Jelfonzo?
Squigley: Uh...hi.
The jellyfish rubs two tentacles together.
Jelfonzo: I doth trust that you are most enthused for your most wondrous of deliveries, Sir Squigley?
Squigley: You know it!
Jelfonzo: Then lo! behold! Your clothing awaiteth!
Jelfonzo holds up a box.
Squigley: Awesome!
Scene 4: Shella Fresh: Morning
Squigley and Squilma enter Shella Fresh, a retailer that specialises in footwear. Squigley is wearing a teal t-shirt over a dark grey long-sleeved shirt. A yellow spider crab wearing sunglasses and shoes on his many pairs of feet greets them.
Crab: Yo, homies! Welcome to Shella Fresh, where we sell only the hottest shoes for dudes and dudettes alike.
Squilma: 'Sup, Bisk?
Squigley: Uh...hi.
The crab grins.
Bisk: Yo, you're that guy who ordered that rad pair of fresh new shoes, right?
Squigley: Uh...I guess so...?
Bisk: Well they're right here, dude! Check it!
Bisk picks up a shoe box marked "Squigley".
Squigley: Awesome!
Scene 5: Headspace: Morning
Squigley and Squilma enter Headspace, a retailer that specialises in headgear. Squigley is wearing a pair of blue slip-on shoes. A sea slug with a tiny shrimp on her head greets them.
Slug: Ah, welcome, my dears, to Headspace. May I say it is a pleasure to welcome you both!
Shrimp: WELCOME!
Squilma: 'Sup, Aunt Flow? Craymond?
Squigley: Uh...hi.
The sea slug smiles at Squigley.
Flow: Ah, your order arrived first thing this morning, my dear.
Craymond: THE DELIVERY GUY WOKE ME UP!
Squigley: Yes! I can finally take off this headband!
Squilma: Yeah...that thing didn't really suit you, did it, Squiggles?
Flow: Here you go, my dear.
Craymond: TAKE IT!
Flow hands a box to Squigley. One of Flow's frills accidentally brushes Squigley's wrist.
Squigley's thoughts: That felt slimy...eeeeeeew...
Squigley excitedly opens the box.
Squigley: I've been looking forward to receiving my-
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: Wait...this isn't a pair of headphones...
Scene 6: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley and Squilma leave Headspace. Squigley is no longer wearing his headband. In his hands is a Painter's Mask.
Squigley: Didn't I order headphones?
Squilma: Well...perhaps there was a mix-up with the order?
Squigley: Maybe...still, wouldn't I look weird wearing this thing in public?
Squilma: Of course not! See?
Squilma points to a group of seven Inklings who all wear Painter's Masks.
Squigley: Oh.
Squilma: Now, hurry up and put it on. People are staring!
Squigley: Why?
Inklinda's voice: Well, THIS isn't a pretty sight, is it?
Inklinda and Inklein walk up to Squigley and Squilma. Inklein's eyes widen.
Inklein: Dude, you're NAKED...
Squigley: What? I'm not naked!
Inklinda: Seriously? You're, like, SO naked it's not even funny. HAHAHAHAHA!
Squilma: Give it a rest, Inklinda!
Inklinda: Look, all I'm saying is that any Inkling who isn't wearing footwear, clothing or headgear is more naked than a-
Inklein: He's not naked anymore!
Inklinda: Hey, don't interrupt me, Inklein! I-
Inklinda looks at Squigley, who is now wearing his mask.
Inklinda: Oh...well, I guess I can't mock you for being naked, then...
Squilma: Awesome! I'm so happy for you. Now, if you don't mind-
Inklinda: Wait...is he using a Splattershot Jr.? Oh, that is so precious! Widdle Squiggles wants to do Turf War!
Squilma: HEY! Only I'M allowed to call him that!
Inklinda: Well, maybe he'd like to join in our little Turf War? It's only fair that he gets to prove his skills, right?
Squilma: I suppose he could join in our little-
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Hey, wait a minute...you're gonna use him for target practice, aren't you?!
Inklinda: I swear by the Turf Warrior's code that I will not solely target Squigley during our private Turf War.
Inklinda winks at Inklein.
Squilma: I saw that!
Inklinda: Saw what?
Squilma: You winked! I saw it!
Inklinda: So? Can't a girl, like, wink at her guy-friend? Anyway, I better let you train. I don't want Inklein and I to have an unfair advantage. Later!
Inklinda waves as she walks away. Inklein grins at Squigley and Squilma.
Inklein: Bye, Wilma and Wiggles.
Inklein walks away. Squilma becomes annoyed.
Squilma: I'll show them! Come on, Squigley!
Squigley: Wh-Where are we going?
Squilma: Ammo Knights. I'm gonna get you some REAL inkpower...
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 7: Ammo Knights: Morning
Squigley and Squilma stand facing Sheldon inside Ammo Knights.
Sheldon: Absolutely not!
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: What? Why not?!
Sheldon: Squigley is by no means ready to be wielding a Splattershot!
Squilma: But...he's gonna be inked alive by Inklinda if he doesn't have one equipped!
Sheldon: Be that as it may, I simply can't let Squigley wield a Splattershot without some basic training.
Squilma: Oh, is that all? Well, why didn't you say so?
Sheldon: You DO remember how intensive the training for these weapons can be, don't you?
Squilma scratches her head.
Squilma: Oh yeah...I guess we should...um...
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: What do you want to do, Squigley?
Squigley ponders Squilma's question.
Squigley: Well...I don't like the idea of being "inked alive", whatever that means...you know what? I'll do it!
Squilma is delighted.
Squilma: That's fantastic!
Sheldon: Excellent! I will organise for you both to participate in Turf War shortly!
Squilma: Uh...what are you saying?
Sheldon: Well, what better training could there be than throwing Squigley into the deep end?
Squilma: That sounds like a bad idea, Shelster...
Sheldon: Nonsense! It will give our friend some skills while out in the field!
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: But-
Scene 8: The Reef: Morning
We see four Inklings in dark purple-coloured squid form on a round metal pad that glows dark purple.
Squigley's voice: Oh no...
Squilma's voice: Relax, Squiggles. You'll be fresh, I just know it!
Squigley: Noob-fresh or fresh-fresh?
The Inklings suddenly change into kid form. All four of them, including Squigley and Squilma, have dark purple tentacles. Squigley is wielding a Splattershot, whereas Squilma wields Splat Dualies.
Squilma: Just remember what Sheldon taught you. Focus on splatting the ground with as much ink as possible. If you run low, change into squid form and swim in your own team's colour of ink. Simple as that!
Squigley: But what if an opponent-
A loud whistle sound is heard. A montage sequence begins.
***
♫Endolphin Surge
Wet Floor
Splatune Records
We see Squigley and Squilma walking along as they ink the ground. Squigley starts inking a wall, but Squilma places a hand on his shoulder and shakes her head, before pointing to a bare patch of ground. Squigley nods and inks the ground, with Squilma smiling.
***
Squigley and Squilma continue to move forward, inking the ground as they go. Squilma stops as they reach a large coverage of orange ink, but Squigley steps into it. His movements become sluggish as he struggles to move through, until Squilma inks the ground at his feet, turning the orange ink to dark purple.
Squigley steps up and down, before giving Squilma a thumbs-up...just before he is splatted by an Inkling with orange tentacles wielding a charger, leaving Squilma shocked. A tiny, squid-like ghost floats away from Squigley's spot.
***
The ghost floats into the dark purple-glowing pad, and a blob of ink emerges from it, which grows into Squigley, whose eyes widen. Squilma suddenly lands next to him, which only adds to his surprise.
Squilma points to her feet, before transforming into squid form and leaping off the ground, far into the sky. Squigley tries the same thing, and manages to also do a super jump in squid form, landing next to an Inkling with dark purple tentacles wielding a Roller...and an Inkling with orange tentacles wielding Splat Dualies, who manages to splat Squigley's teammate, his ghost floating back to the pad.
As Squigley is cornered, Squilma rolls into view and splats the opponent, high-fiving Squigley, and the duo continue to ink turf...until Squilma is splatted by an orange-tentacled Inkling wielding a Slosher, though one of her Dualie shots manages to ink her opponent as well. Squigley drops to his knees and looks into the sky.
Squigley: SQUILMAAAAAAAA!
***
All eight Inklings stand on a platform in the centre of The Reef, with the surrounding area currently covered in dark purple and orange ink. Two cats with white fur stand in the middle of the arena. The larger one has black markings resembling a judge's attire, whereas the much smaller one has similarly-styled grey markings.
Squigley: So...what's with the cats?
Squilma: Oh, that's Judd and Lil' Judd. They adjudicate which team won based on total ink coverage. Judd represents the Good Guys, whereas Lil' Judd represents the Bad Guys.
Squigley: Good Guys? Bad Guys?
Squilma: Don't worry. It's just terminology for the Turf War.
Judd: Meow... (Okay, the verdict is in...)
Lil' Judd: Mew... (And the winners are...)
After a moment of anticipation, Judd holds out his flag, whereas Lil' Judd trips and falls flat on his belly.
Judd: Meow! (The Good Guys!)
Squilma and the other two dark purple-tentacled Inklings are frustrated, whereas Squigley cheers.
Squigley: YES! We won!
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: Squiggles, we were the Bad Guys!
Squigley: Wait...we were? But...I'm not bad...oh, then that means...WE LOST?!
Squilma facepalms.
Squilma: NOW he gets it...
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 9: Squilma's Pad: Evening
Squigley and Squilma sit on the couch. Their tentacles are back to their normal colours. Squigley is frowning.
Squigley: Well THAT could've went better...
Squilma: Are you kidding? The coverage of ink was very close. It was only a difference of 0.2%.
Squigley: It was?
Squilma: Sure it was! I'll take our 47.1% coverage with gusto!
Squigley: But that would mean the opposing team got 47.3% coverage.
Squilma: Yup!
Squigley: But there's a whole 5.6% missing...?
Squilma: Oh, that's the percentage of turf that wasn't inked.
Squigley scratches his head.
Squigley: Oh, right...
Squilma: Well, I have...uh...things to do.
Squilma stands and approaches the door.
Squigley: Do you go out EVERY night?
Squilma: No...not EVERY night...
Squilma's thoughts: ...just weeknights, weekends and public holidays...
Squigley: Well, while you go and do whatever-it-is-you-do, I'm gonna write in my journal.
Squilma: Totes fresh. Later!
Squilma leaves the apartment. Squigley picks up his journal and begins to write.
Scene 10: Ammo Knights: Morning
Squilma stands in Ammo Knights. Sheldon is excited.
Sheldon: Wow, Squilma! I simply MUST congratulate you on last night's mi-
Squigley enters the shop.
Squigley: 'Morning, everyone!
Sheldon: Ah, Squigley! I heard you were absolutely noobish during your first Turf War.
Squilma scowls.
Squilma: Who the fresh said THAT?!
Sheldon: Why, Annie, of course! She heard it from Spyke, who heard it from Jelonzo, who heard it from Crusty Sean, who heard it from-
Squilma: I meant who started this rumour!
Sheldon: Right...I believe it was your friend Inklinda.
Squilma scoffs.
Squilma: She is NOT my friend! And I'm gonna ink the fresh out of that sea cow for insulting Squigley!
Squigley: Oh...no, it's fine...
Squilma wraps her arm around Squigley.
Squilma: Nonsense, Squiggles! Together, you and I are gonna show her just what you can do!
Squigley: Well, based on my performance yesterday...
Squilma: Come on, dude! Haven't you ever heard of beginner's luck?
Squigley: Yeah, I have, but yesterday was my début, and I didn't exactly feel lucky then...
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma: Oh...right...
Sheldon: Oh, before I forget: Inklinda has a message for you both. Here, I'll read it out:Dear Frenemone and Dweeb,
Just letting you know that tomorrow is, like, no good for me for our Turf War, so we're having it this afternoon instead, 'kay?
Thanks, I knew you'd both understand! Hugs and kisses!
-Inklinda
Sheldon: Aw, isn't that sweet? Inklinda took the time to write you a letter instead of a text message! Ooh, and I must say her handwriting skill is so exquisite!
Squigley and Squilma's brows are flattened.
Squilma: Squigley?
Squigley: Yeah?
Squilma: Let's show her who's boss.
Scene 11: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
We see a silhouette of a huge octopus brooding in a dim room.
Octopus: Yo, I feel as though some peep is talkin' about me!

- Part 5:
- Scene 12: Deca Tower: Morning
Squigley and Squilma stand outside the entrance to Deca Tower.
Squigley: Why does everyone meet up outside Deca Tower before a Turf War? Wouldn't it make sense to meet up at the location itself?
Squilma: Well, there's a reason for that, Squiggles.
Squigley: Which is?
Squilma: Well-
Inklinda's voice: Well, well...looks like SOMEONE'S running, like, late or whatever.
Inklinda and Inklein walk up to Squigley and Squilma.
Squilma: Does that someone have a name that rhymes with "Stinklinda"?
Inklinda's eyes widen.
Inklinda: Are you implying that I, Inklinda, am the one who's running late?
Squilma: Well, considering Squigley and I have been standing here since the kraken dawn, the evidence is squarely against you, my dear fren-enemy.
Inklinda flips out.
Inklinda: You are, like, TOTES unbelievable, Squilma! It's pronounced (freh-NEM-uh-nee)!
Squilma: Whatever...
Inklein: Wow, Wilma...uh...your tennacles are all...uh...pretty an' junk...
Squilma blushes.
Squilma: Well...uh...
Inklein: And Lindie's wrong. You don't smell like crudfish. You smell like something nicer, like...uh...a dweeb.
Squilma becomes angry.
Squilma: That's IT! You're BOTH gonna be cooked by Squigley and me!
Squilma stomps inside Deca Tower, with Squigley following closely behind. Inklein scratches his head.
Inklein's thoughts: Wait a minute...I meant "Crusty Seanwich"...I ALWAYS get those two things mixed up...
Scene 13: The Crust Bucket: Morning
A prawn wearing a backwards cap and a coat that looks like fried crumbs stands inside a yellow food truck. He is staring at some Inklings with a puzzled expression on his face.
Prawn: Why do all you squidkids keep tryin' to order "dweebs"? I just don't get it...
Scene 14: The Reef: Afternoon
♫Rip Entry
Wet Floor
Splatune Records
Squigley and Squilma spray sky-coloured ink on the ground.
Squilma: You're doing awesome, Squiggles!
Squigley: Thanks! I think I have the hang of this...whoa!
A small, triangular object lands next to Squigley and begins to flash. Squigley and Squilma change to squid form and move away just before it bursts into a puddle of gold-yellow ink. Squigley and Squilma emerge in kid form.
Squilma: That was close!
Squigley: I'll say!
An Inkling with gold-yellow tentacles runs toward Squigley and Squilma, a goofy grin on her face...before she is splatted by an Inkling with sky-coloured tentacles.
Squilma: Thanks for the save.
The Inkling nods, before changing into squid form and swimming away.
Squilma: Wow, nearly two minutes in and still no sign of Inklinda...could this be our lucky day?
Inklinda's voice: You wish!
Inklinda and Inklein emerge from some gold-yellow ink. Their tentacles are gold-yellow in colour. Inklinda wields an Inkbrush, whereas Inklein is using a Splat Roller.

♫Now or Never!

Splatune Records
Inklinda: Well, now...it looks like I'll be able to, like, splat you after all. HAHAHAHAHA!
Squilma: You wish! Let's show 'em, Squiggles!
Squigley: Uh...right.
Squigley and Squilma aim for Inklinda.
Inklinda: Whoa, whoa, whoa...can't I, like, gloat for a few seconds and junk?
Squilma: Well-
Inklinda: Now, Inklein!
Inklein pushes his Roller toward Squilma. He lifts it, then pauses. Seizing the chance, Squilma splats him.
Inklinda: Ugh...idiot. Oh well, guess it's MY turn, then!
Inklinda swings her brush at Squilma...just as Squigley leaps in front of her, causing HIM to be splatted instead. Squilma's eye twitches, and she splats Inklinda with her Splat Dualies just as the whistle sounds.
Squilma: THAT'S for Squigley!
***
Both teams stand on the platform in the centre of The Reef. Judd and Lil' Judd hold their flags ready.
Squigley: I can't believe I sucked AGAIN!
Squilma: Well, just remember that it's a TEAM game, Squiggles, and every little bit of ink coverage helps.
Squigley: But I couldn't even splat anyone...
Judd: Meow. (The results are in.)
Lil' Judd: Mew. (It wasn't even close. It was a total inkslide!)
Judd holds out his flag, with Lil' Judd tripping and falling onto his belly.
Judd: MEOW! (GOOD GUYS WIN!)
Squilma and the other two teammates cheer, whereas Squigley flips out.
Squigley: We LOST?! AGAIN?!
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Are you kidding? We were the Good Guys!
Squigley: What? But...I thought we were the Bad Guys!
Squilma: We're not ALWAYS the Bad Guys, Squigley!
Squigley is delighted.
Squigley: Oh...uh...YAY!
Inklinda's voice: I dunno...I thought you were pretty bad there, Squiggles.
Inklinda and Inklein walk up to Squigley and Squilma.
Squilma: HEY! I said that only I'M allowed to call him that!
Inklinda: Oh yeah? Well...who's, like, gonna stop me?
Inklein suddenly trips and knocks Inklinda to the ground with his Roller.
Inklinda: OW! Hey, watch what you do with that thing, Inklein!
Inklein: Oh...sorry, Lindie...
Inklein winks at Squilma, who blushes again.
Inklein: So, about earlier...I didn't mean to say you smell like a dweeb.
Squilma smiles.
Squilma: I figured as much, you idiot.
Inklein grins.
Inklein: What I meant to say is that your breath smells like a Crusty Seanwich!
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma: What...did...you...say?
Inklein: Yeah, I ALWAYS get those two things mixed up!
Squilma: I'll mix YOU up, you bottom-feeder!
Squilma chases Inklein away.
Inklinda: Stupid Inklein...just leaving me here, on the ground...
Squigley holds his hand to Inklinda.
Inklinda: What are you, like, doing?
Squigley: Helping you up.
Inklinda: Oh...um...
Inklinda takes Squigley's hand, and manages to get to her feet despite his struggling.
Inklinda: Um...thanks...
Squigley: Just being helpful.
Inklinda: Yeah...listen, do you wanna-
Inklinda frowns.
Inklinda: Never mind. I've been so mean to you, and you're being so nice...that you probably wouldn't wanna...
Squigley: What is it?
Inklinda looks at Squigley's face, and she makes a small smile.
- Squigley's Journal - Log 5:
- Wow, my first official Turf War went...well, while I didn't manage to splat anyone, I apparently managed to cover the turf with more ink than any. Other. Inkling. And I only got splatted once when I was protecting Squilma from Inklinda!
Speaking of Inklinda, she's actually not that bad when you get to know her...AND when she treats you with the kindness and respect that you deserve. She even asked to take a photo with me, so how could I refuse?
Squilma wasn't exactly open to the idea, though...still, frenemones gonna, like, frenemonise and junk...anyway, 'til next time!

AKA "The Ranked Battle Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley and Squilma sit at a table, a cup of juice in each of their hands. Squigley lifts his cup, but his mask stops him from being able to sip through the straw.
Squigley's thoughts: How do I...?
Squilma: Wow, that was rough.
Squigley: I'll say.
Squilma: I mean...how do those two always seem to get the upper hand on us?
Inklinda's voice: You mean you don't know?
Inklinda and Inklein walk up to Squigley and Squilma. Squigley tries pulling his mask forward, but the straw is too short to reach his mouth easily.
Squilma: And I suppose you're gonna tell us, right?
Inklinda: I guess I, like, could or whatever, but then you'd know our secret...
Squilma: Which is?
Inklein: Teamwork!
Inklinda glares at Inklein.
Inklinda: Way to blow the secret, idiot!
Squilma: Your secret...is TEAMWORK?!
Squilma laughs.
Inklinda: Hey! I'll have you know that Ink & Swim is the best team of our rank!
Squigley: Rank?
Inklinda: Oh, poor naïve little Squigley...what IS Squilma teaching you?
Squilma: More than you're apparently teaching Inklein!
Inklein finishes writing "1 + 1 = PIE on a wall with blue chalk. He slowly turns to look at Squilma.
Inklein: ...what?
Inklinda: Squigley, you know that your level, like, goes up the more you do Turf War, right?
Squigley: Yeah, I guess so...
Inklinda: Well, once you reach Level 10, you can participate in Ranked Battle.
Squigley: Ranked Battle?
Inklinda: Yeah! Every participant has a different rank in each event, and lemme tell you, Inklein and I are sitting at a steady rank of B- in EVERY event.
Inklein: Except Clam Blitz.
Inklinda: Thank you, Inklein! I was, like, getting to that! Ugh!
Squilma: Well, Squigley and I will show you!
Inklinda: You will? And what are your ranks?
Squilma: Well, I'm B- in EVERY event, INCLUDING Clam Blitz!
Inklinda closes her eyes and nods.
Inklinda: M-hm...m-hm...and Squiggles?
Squigley: I'm...uh...not-
Squilma: He's not ready to unveil HIS rank, because it's a SURPRISE! Heheheh...heh...
Inklinda's brow flattens.
Inklinda: He's never played a Ranked Battle, has he?
Squilma: No, sir.
Inklinda: Well then, if you don't mind, SOME of us have better things to do than speak with a couple of losers. Later!
Inklinda waves as she walks away.
Inklinda: Come along, teammate.
Inklein ignores Inklinda and stares at Squilma, smiling. Inklinda turns around, her left eye squinting.
Inklinda: I meant YOU, Inklein!
Inklein's eyes widen.
Inklein: Oh...uh...I knew that.
Inklein begins following Inklinda. Squilma sighs and shakes her head.
Squilma: Why are weirdos always staring at me?
Squilma sees Squika staring at her. She covers her face with her hand.
Squilma's thoughts: I just HAD to ask, didn't I...?
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: Okay, Squiggles, as soon as you reach Level 10, I'm signing us up as a team!
Squigley: But-
Squilma: Now now, don't object, my green-tentacled friend. Ranked Battle is heaps of fun. I just KNOW you're gonna enjoy it!
Squigley: But Squilma-
Squilma: So let's do some more Turf Wars to catch you up!
Squigley: But I need to tell-
***
Ten Turf Wars later...
Squigley and Squilma walk away from Deca Tower.
Squilma: I don't believe it...
Squigley: I tried to tell you.
Squilma: How can you be LEVEL 11?! Inklings don't just SKIP ENTIRE LEVELS!
Squigley: I reached Level 10 just before Inklinda told me about that whole Ranked whatsit.
Squilma: Why didn't you tell me BEFORE those ten unnecessary Turf Wars?
Squigley: I tried to tell you, but-
Squilma: Say no more! Let's go and register for our team!
Squigley: But-
Squilma grabs Squigley's hand and begins pulling him away. Squika watches them and rubs both tentacles together.
Squika: So...it appears that Squilma wishes to start a team with her new friend...at last, I can hatch my splendiferous master plan...

- Scene 2: Deca Tower: Afternoon
Squigley and Squilma enter Deca Tower. Squika slides in front of the door. He sits up and rubs his tentacles together.
Squika: Excellent...I have them right where I want them.
Squika enters the tower.
***
Squigley and Squilma stand inside Deca Tower. A receptionist Inkling is taking down their details.
Receptionist: M-hm...and why would you like to form a team?
Squilma's thoughts: Out of spite!
Squilma: Oh...I think teamwork is definitely important in ANY event...yep, no hidden agenda here!
Squilma averts her gaze.
Squigley: What the...?
Receptionist: And it's just the three of you, then?
Squilma: Yep!
Receptionist: Very well, I'll just complete the initial registration of your team...
The receptionist types on a keyboard. He briefly smiles at Squilma, before continuing to type.
Squilma: So...how's your day going?
Receptionist: Oh, quite fresh, thank you for asking. And you?
Squilma: Good.
Squilma looks around the room for a few seconds, before she suddenly looks at the receptionist, her eyes widened.
Squilma: Wait...did...you say "three"?
Receptionist: Of course. I definitely count three Inklings.
Squilma: Are you kidding me?!
We cut to a view of Squigley and Squilma. Squika sits on Squigley's upper back, his tentacle wrapped around his shoulders.
Squilma: There's clearly TWO of us!
The receptionist raises an eyebrow.
Receptionist: Perhaps you need to brush up on your counting skills, miss.
Squilma: Brush up on my-
Squilma growls.
Squilma: I can count just fine, thank you very much! See? One, two, thr-
Squilma's eyes widen as she points at Squika.
Squilma: WAAH!
Squika waves a tentacle at Squilma.
Squika: A most wonderful morning to you, my dear Squilma!
Squilma: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Squika: Why, I heard you talking with your chum about forming a team, and I thought it to be a jolly good idea, so I decided to be the third member.
Squilma: You mean you decided to HIJACK THE TEAM ENROLLMENT?!
Squika rubs the back of his head...body...self...oh, you know what I mean.
Squika: Well...
Receptionist: Okay, team registration is complete.
Squilma's eyes widen as she stares at the receptionist.
Squilma: Complete? But...this weirdo wasn't invited!
Receptionist: Nonetheless, he is officially registered, and must participate in EVERY team event.
Squilma: What?!
Receptionist: Have you decided on a name?
Squilma: Well...SQUIGLEY and I have talked about it, and we've decided to call our team-
Squika: SQUID PRO!
Squilma glares at Squika.
Squilma: Shut up, Squika!
The receptionist finishes typing.
Receptionist: Okay...Squid Pro is locked in.
Squilma: What?! No, I wanted to name our team The Oceanic Duo!
Receptionist: I apologise, but your team's name cannot be changed. Also, The Oceanic Duo is already taken by another team.
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: At least it can't get any worse...
Receptionist: And here are your new team badges.
Squilma takes her badge and examines it. She panics.
Squilma: A C- rank in every event? But...I'm a B- in every event!
Receptionist: I apologise, but your ranks were reset when you formed your team.
Squilma: NOOOOOOOOOO!

- Part 3:
- Scene 3: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley, Squilma and Squika sit at a table in Inkopolis Square. Squilma is moping.
Squilma: This is all your fault...
Squigley: M-Me? What did I do?
Squilma points at Squika with a scowl.
Squilma: I was talking to HIM!
Squika is delighted.
Squika: What can I say except "You're welcome"?
Squilma: Are you KIDDING ME?! It's YOUR FAULT that the team has an extra member, it's YOUR FAULT that the team has a stupid name, and it's YOUR FAULT that I was given the wrong smoothie blend! I mean...carrot and ginger? I HATE GINGER!
Squigley: So do I...
Squigley's thoughts: ...so it's a good thing I can't drink mine...so thirsty...
Squika: Oh, wish-wash! I did you an excellent service, my dear Squilma.
Squilma: "Service" implies you helped instead of making things worse!
Squika: But...you didn't even have a team until this afternoon. How could things be worse if they were nonexistent before now?
Squilma's brow flattens.
Squilma: You're one of those stuck-up intellectuals who wears ridiculous-looking glasses, aren't you?
Squika's eyes widen.
Squika: You only realise this NOW? How long have I tried to get to know you, Squilma?
Squilma: Too long...
Squika: Therefore, is it not correct to believe that there is much you do not know about me?
Squilma: I know enough about YOU, Squika. You always hang around Inkopolis Square in squid form, never taking kid form for even a second. Everyone thinks you're a weirdo.
Squika: Well, whilst it is true that I prefer my squid form, I do transform into a kid whenever the need suits.
Squilma: Like during a Turf War?
Squika smiles...or something (it's hard to tell with someone whose only notable facial features are his eyes).
Squika: Don't be absurd! Why would I take kid form during a Turf War when I can swim around in my allies' ink to my heart's content?
Squika holds a tentacle behind his head...body...thing.
Of course there IS the downside of my having taken longer to reach Level 10 than most others, not to mention the above-average number of losses for my allies and I...
Squilma sighs and shakes her head.
Squilma: Unbelievable...
Squika: But rest assured that I will prove to be a strong, helpful member of Team Squid Pro!
Squilma: Stop CALLING IT THAT!
Inklinda's voice: Stop calling what what?
Inklinda walks up to the table.
Squilma: Oh, for the love of freshness!
Inklinda: Nice to see you too, Squillie.
Inklinda looks at Squika.
Inklinda: Um...why is the weirdo, like, sitting with you?
Squilma growls.
Squilma: Inklinda, may I introduce the third member of my team, Squika.
Inklinda laughs.
Inklinda: Wow, you're, like, a loser magnet or whatever, aren't you?
Inklinda looks at Squigley.
Inklinda: No offence, Squigley.
Squigley: A lot taken, Inklinda.
Inklinda: M-hm...whatever, honey.
Inklinda looks at Squika and speaks in a loud, stretched-out tone.
Inklinda: IT'S VERY NICE TO MEET YOU, SQUIKA!
Squilma: Why are you talking like that?
Inklinda: Well he can't be very smart if he always stays in squid form, can he?
Squika crosses both tentacles together.
Squika: On the contrary, my dear, I am one of the most intellectual students at Shellendorf University. I have chosen as my thesis subject "Squid Form: A Year in the Life".
Inklinda: Uh...like...DO YOU PLAY TURF WAR WITH SQUIGLEY AND SARDINE-BREATH HERE?
Squilma: Whatchoo call me, punk?! Wait...where's Inklein?
Inklinda: Oh, he had, like, something important to do or whatever.
***
We cut to a view of Inklein standing in a toy shop. He is holding two action figures.
Inklein: Hm...should I buy Squidkid...or Kidsquid...? Which one would Inklinda pick...?
A ghostly image of Inklinda floats into view above Inklein's head.
Inklinda: Are you, like, kidding me? I'd buy both! Superhero action figures are the BEST or whatever! Also, you should ask Wilma out on a date and junk!
Inklein: I will, imaginary Inklinda!
***
Inklinda: Anyway, I also have better things to do.
Squilma: Okay, enjoy scrubbing your toilet, Frenemone.
Inklinda: Enjoy drinking your Salmonid juice.
Squilma squints her left eye. Inklinda looks at Squika.
Inklinda: IT WAS VERY NICE TALKING TO YOU, SQUIKA!
Squika: Likewise, my dear Inklinda. We simply must do it again sometime.
Inklinda smiles at Squilma as she gestures to Squika.
Inklinda: Children, amirite? Okay, later!
Inklinda waves as she walks away. Squilma looks at Squika.
Squilma: Did...you say you're a student at Shellendorf University?
Squika: Indeed I did, my dear.
Squilma: Well...how old are you?
Squika: 14.
Squilma: Wait...how can a teenager attend such a prestigious school?!
Squika: Well, I was skipped several levels due to my prodigious mind. Plus, it helps to have a scholarship.
Squilma's thoughts: Maybe having Squika around won't be so bad after all...
Squika stretches his tentacle to pick up his cup, but knocks it over instead, causing his drink to spill. Squigley suddenly stands up.
Squigley: My shorts!
A random Inkling walks past. He snickers as he sees Squigley's shorts.
Inkling: Nice one, kid!
The Inkling begins walking away. Squilma stands up and glares at the Inkling.
Squilma: Oh, grow up, Squam!
Squika: Oopsie!
Squilma's thoughts: Some genius HE is...

- Part 4:
- Scene 4: Shellendorf Institute: Morning
We see a view of the inside of a museum. Two teams of Inklings are fighting for control of a tower that slowly moves across the building. Squigley, Squilma and Squika's team has pumpkin-coloured tentacles and ink, whereas their opponents' tentacles and ink are turquoise.
Squika's voice: Our first session as a team was Tower Control, in which two teams of Inklings-
The scene freezes in the style of a VHS tape being paused, complete with screen distortion. Squilma pops into view and looks straight ahead.
Squilma: What the fresh are you doing, Squika?
Squika's voice: Well, I decided to use my charming voice to narrate our exploits in our endeavours, and I must say I'm doing an excellent-
Squilma flips out.
Squilma: ARE YOU KIDDING?!
Squika's voice: N-No...
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: Whatever...at least you're making a contribution, I guess...
Squika's voice: Splendid! Then if you don't mind...?
Squilma: Okay then...
Squilma slowly walks off the screen. Squika clears his throat. (Wait...do squids even HAVE throats?)
Squika's voice: As I was saying-
The scene unfreezes. Squilma is riding the tower, but is splatted by an opponent, her ghost floating back to the start pad.
Squika's voice: -our first Tower Control as a team wasn't going swimmingly. I, however, was swimming quite a bit, and let me tell you: it was refreshing to be ORANGE for a change!
We cut to a view of Squika. He is leaping out of the pumpkin-orange ink like a dolphin.
Squika: La! Lalala! Lalala! La! La! I...am ORANGE! I...am ORANGE! Usually-I'm-Purple-but-now-I...am ORAAAAAAAAAANGE!
***
We cut to a view of Judd, who holds out a turquoise flag.
Judd: MEOW! (GOOD GUYS AM THE WEENERS!)
We cut to a view of Squigley, Squilma, Squika and Squam, who are frustrated. Squigley throws out his arms.
Squigley: Do the Good Guys ALWAYS win?!
Squam: Only when the Bad Guys lose...duh...
Squilma flips out.
Squilma: Shut up, Squam!
Scene 5: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley, Squilma and Squika sit at a table. Squigley is using his phone to check his stats on SplatNet 2.
Squigley: Well, THAT could've went better...
Squika: Oh, squit-squat, Squigley. The important thing is that you had fun, right?
Squigley: Yeah, if you count one of my rivals constantly targeting me and only me, sure...
Squika: See? EVERYONE had a jolly good time!
Squilma: I'll jolly YOU, Inkan Thorpe!
Squika scratches his head with a tentacle.
Squika: Whom?
Squilma: It...was a reference to Australian swimmers...
Inklinda's voice: Oh, breaking the fourth wall, are we?
Inklinda walks up to Squilma.
Squika: Oh, good morning, my dear Inklinda! How fare you on this day?
Inklinda: HELLO, SQUIKA! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: For the love of freshness...
Inklein walks up to the table. In each of his hands is an action figure. Inklein smiles at Squilma.
Inklein: HELLO, WILMA! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
Squilma: I'd feel better if you didn't treat me like an idiot, idiot!
Inklein: WHAT?
Inklinda: Oh, don't mind him. He listened to some loud music at a concert yesterday and his hearing hasn't, like, recovered or whatever.
Inklein: WHAT?
***
The scene wipes to a view of an Off the Hook concert.
♫Ebb & Flow
Off the Hook
Splatune Records
Inklein: THIS MUSIC'S SO AWESOME!
Squam: YEAH, DUDE! OFF THE HOOK ROCKS!
Inklein: WHAT? YOU CAN'T PUT POP ROCKS IN LEMONADE!
Squam: MARINA? YEAH, SHE IS HOT!
***
Squilma: Well, why didn't he use his earplugs?
Inklinda: Oh, he always chews them.
Squilma: What?
Inklinda: Yeah, just last week he was telling me his favourite part of concerts is the free gum they give him.
Squilma: Ew.
Inklein: WHAT?
Squilma sighs and gives Inklein a coupon.
Squilma: Here, sweetie. Go buy yourself a Crusty Seanwich.
Inklein: OH, OKAY THEN, WILMA!
Inklein walks over to the Crust Bucket.
Inklinda: So...how did your first sesh go?
Squilma: Wait...you're actually interested in someone OTHER than yourself?
Inklinda: What, I can't be a selfless narcissist?
Squika: My dear Inklinda, those two concepts cancel each other out.
Inklinda: GROWN-UPS ARE TALKING, SQUIKA! TELL ME YOUR STORY LATER, 'KAY?
Squilma: Well, if you must know, we lost.
Inklinda: Oh well, you'll, like, get 'em next time, champ!
Inklinda playfully punches Squilma in the upper arm. Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Okay, is it Opposite Day or something?
Inklinda: Of course not!
Squilma: Then WHY are you being nice to me?!
Inklinda: Well, Crazy Aunt Flow told me to be nicer to everyone, and I don't, like, want a hex on me or whatever.
Squilma shakes her head.
Squilma: I knew it...
Inklinda: Anyway, have a nice day, Squilma! Hugs and kisses!
Inklinda hugs Squilma and kisses both her cheeks. She then waves as she walks away. Squilma appears terrified.
Squilma: That...was scarier than what happened last night...
Squigley looks up from his phone.
Squigley: Wait...what happened last night?
Squika: Yes, do tell, my dear Squilma.
A bead of sweat begins rolling down Squilma's forehead.
Squilma: Well...thing is-
Squigley looks at his phone screen.
Squigley: Oh, neat! Another Ranked Battle session just opened up!
Squika: What? Allow me to observe!
Squigley shows Squika his phone's screen. Squika is delighted.
Squika: Ooh, Arowana Mall! An enjoyable arena, to be sure!
Squigley: Yeah, and we can go shopping afterwards!
Squika: Excellent! It's a date!
Squigley and Squika begin racing toward Deca Tower. Squilma sighs.
Squilma: PRETTY sure they're forgetting something important...
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 6: Arowana Mall: Afternoon
Squigley, Squilma and Squika are participating in Splat Zones, an event in which two teams compete to control specific areas of turf by covering them with their own team's ink. Squigley, Squilma and Squika all have purple ink.
Squika's voice: Our next event was Splat Zones, which proved to be a much more enjoyable event for everyone involved. Squigley was doing particularly well-
As Squigley is inking a zone, he is splatted by an opponent with mustard-orange tentacles and a Brella, with his ghost floating back to the pad.
which is simply marvellous! As for me, I was having fun in my own-
The scene suddenly freezes in a black-and-white projector film style. A greyscaled Squilma pops up into view.
Squilma: Hey, what about me?! Whoa...what happened to the colour...?
Squika's voice: The palette fairy took it all. Now, run along!
Squilma: But you didn't answer my question, Squika!
Squika's voice: Of course I did! I believe my answer was "the palette fairy took it all".
Squilma: But I-
Squika's voice: I'm not proceeding until you leave, Squilma!
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: Fine, but I'm not letting you do any more of these stupid narrations!
Squilma lifts up an arm.
Squilma: Super Squilma...AWAAAAAAAAY!
Squilma suddenly zips into the air, leaving a jet of neon pink ink behind her. The scene recolours itself.
Squika's voice: Oh, THERE'S the colour! Now where was I...? Oh yes!
The scene unfreezes.
Squika's voice: As for me, I was having fun in my own wade.
We hear a little bit of audience laughter in the background. Squika begins leaping out of the ink like a dolphin.
Squika: La lalala lalala la la! I am PURPLE! I am PURPLE! Sometimes-I-am-orange-but-now-I...am PURPLLLLLLLLLLE!
***
We cut to a view of the middle of the arena. Squigley, Squilma, Squika and Squam stand facing Lil' Judd.
Squigley: Wait a minute...last time Judd was judging by himself, and this time it's Lil' Judd...
Squika: I, too, am suspicious...
Lil' Judd holds his flag at Squigley's team.
Lil' Judd: MEW! (CONGLATURATION! WEENERS IS YOU!)
Squika: We won? WE WON!
Squilma: What?! All you did was swim around!
Squika: Well...that proves I won in my own way!
Squilma: How so?
Squika: I had the most fun. Therefore, I have the distinction of winning the grandest victory of all!
Squigley: Hold on...Lil' Judd usually announces the Bad Guys as having won, right?
Squilma: Yeah? So?
Squigley: And we won...which SHOULD make us the Bad Guys, right?
Squilma: Oh...you're right...so if Judd is the only judge present, then the Good Guys must win by default...and the opposite must be true for Lil' Judd...
Squam: What?! HAKES! I CALL HAKES!
Squilma: Enough with the puns, Squam!
Squigley: Then...the Bad Guys sometimes win...meaning Squam was right!
Squam holds his fists to his hips and pulls a superhero pose.
Squam: All in a day's work for...SQUAM MAN!
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: Now EVERYONE'S doing a superhero gag...fan-treshing-fastic...
Scene 7: Squilma's Pad: Evening
Squigley, Squilma and Squika enter the apartment.
Squigley: Ah...so good to be home...
Squika: I must say, my dear Squilma, that your apartment is quite exquisite indeed.
Squilma: Nobody invited you, Squeirdo!
Squika: So what do the two of you do for fun in the evenings?
Squigley: Well, I usually play some games, watch some TV and write in my journal.
Squika: Ooh, most excellent!
Squilma: And I fight Oc-
Squilma pauses.
Squilma: I...uh...write octaikus.
Squigley: What's an "octaiku"?
Squilma: It's like...um...a haiku, except instead of writing syllables in strings of 5-7-5, you write them in strings of 8-8-8.
Squika: I'm not familiar with that style of poetry.
Squilma: It's very obscure...
Squika: I am well-versed in EVERY form of poetry. Here, I'll share one of my favourites. It's called "My True Love, the Salmonid".
Squika clears his throat.
"As I stared into his beautiful, bulging eyes-"
Squilma: Okay, that's enough of THAT. Anyway, I have to go and...um...
Squigley: Write octaikus?
Squilma: Yeah.
Squika: Why not simply write them in this gorgeous apartment?
Squilma: It's complicated...
Squigley: Why?
Squigley and Squika stare at Squilma.
Squilma: Um...
After a brief pause, Squilma dashes from the apartment.
Squika: Well, that was...odd.
Squigley stares at the door.
Squigley: Yeah...
Squigley's thoughts: This is getting weird...why does she-
A sound resembling a wet fart is heard.
Squika: Oh dear...
Squigley looks at Squika, who is sitting in a large splatter of purple ink.
Squika: It's one of the side-effects of being in a perpetual squid form.
Squigley: Um...ew.
- Squigley's Journal - Log 8:
- I am getting VERY suspicious about Squilma. I've lived with her for over a week now, and she disappears EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Frankly, it has me more than a little worried...
So Team Squid Pro is getting better. Rainmaker's fun, but tricky. I managed to carry the fish-cannon...thing all the way to the enemy side, but then I was splatted. Oh well, at least the team won! As for Clam Blitz, we're trying that tomorrow. Inklinda promised to join in, and Inklein...well, he played with his toys.
Oh yeah, Inklein has the same model phone as I do! He took me to his "secret spot", which is the deck of a ship called the Manta Maria. We sat there next to the ocean playing a game he told me about. It was heaps of fun, but I get the impression he plays it nonstop. Kid's got skills, roe!
'Til next time!

- Spoiler:
- Scene 1: Squilma's Pad: Morning
Squigley walks out of his bedroom wearing his clothing and shoes. He yawns and stretches his arms.
Squigley: That was an excellent sleep...now what to do today...?
Squilma enters the apartment.
Squilma: Ah...so good to be home...
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: You're only getting home NOW?!
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Dude, why are you naked?!
Squigley: Huh?
Squigley feels around his nose and mouth.
Squigley: Oh, whoops.
Squigley dashes back into his room. After a couple of seconds, he walks casually out of his room wearing his mask.
Squigley: Sorry about that, Squilma.
Squilma: It's fine, dude. Just...don't let it happen again.
Squigley: So...what are we doing today?
Squilma rubs her hands together.
Squilma: I'm glad you asked, Squigley. The weather forecast says it's gonna rain!
Squigley groans.
Squigley: Oh, man...so we'll be stuck inside all day?
Squilma: What do you mean?
Squigley: Well, water's lethal to us, right?
Squilma: Yeah...?
Squigley: So isn't it dangerous to be standing outside when water falls from the sky?
Squilma laughs.
Squilma: That's ridiculous! Water doesn't fall from the sky! Now come on, we're going to Deca Tower.
Squilma leaves the apartment. Squigley scratches his head.
Squigley: But...that's what rain is, though...
Scene 2: The Reef: Morning
Judd and Lil' Judd stand on a platform in the centre of The Reef. Squigley, Squilma, Squika and a random Inkling have true blue tentacles, while their opponents have yellow tentacles. Judd holds out his flag, causing Lil' Judd to fall over.
Judd: MEOW! (GOOD GUYS ARE FISH FRIENDS!)
Squigley's team cheers.
Squika: We won the Rainmaker session!
Squigley: Who would've thought carrying a fish cannon to the opponent's side of the arena would be so difficult?
Squilma: Uh...pretty much anyone, Squiggles.
Teammate: Yeah, that thing is heavy...
Squilma: Darn it, whoever-you-are! You're not supposed to have any lines! You're an EXTRA!
Teammate: But-
Squilma: Zip it!
Teammate: But I-
Squilma: Zip it NOW!
The teammate grumbles, before super jumping away.
Squika: I like the cut of his jib! Er...what was his name again?
Squilma: How the fresh should I know?!
Squika: Well, someone's being touchy today, are they not?
Squilma: Whaddaya expect? I held the Rainmaker for TWO FREAKING SECONDS before that so-and-so splatted me!
Squigley: You mean Squam?
We see a view of the other team. Squam waves at Squigley, Squilma and Squika.
Squilma: YES I mean Squam! Why is he even in this episode anyway?
Squigley rubs his tentacles.
Squika: Indeed...was he not supposed to only appear in the previous full-length episode?
Squilma: Maybe this is his chance to get some extra exposure. He IS based on one of the writer's friends, after all, right?
Squika: Too true.
Squigley's thoughts: Wait...did they just break the fourth wall? And does that make this episode canon or not...?
Squika: Oh, he's walking over here! Let's see what fresh things he has to say in his extended cameo!
Squilma: Indeed, my dear Squika!
Squigley's thoughts: Now they're speaking like each other...maybe it's SEMI-canon...?
Squam walks over to the group.
Squilma: Anything to say, Squam?
Squam nods.
Squam: Yeah, I just want to say that I-

- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley, Squilma and Squika walk (and slide) away from Deca Tower.
Squilma: Hoo boy, that Turf War was tougher than an overcooked Squid Ring...
Squigley's eyes widen as a bead of sweat slides down the side of his head.
Squigley's thoughts: Wait...Inklings EAT squid?!
Squika: I admit, that could have went more swimmingly.
Squilma snaps at Squika.
Squilma: Nobody likes re-recycled puns, Squika!
Squika appears embarrassed...or something. (It's hard to tell with someone whose...oh, right, "re-recycled puns"...)
Squika: Apologies, my dear Squilma.
Squilma: It's fine. I'll go and secure us a table.
Squilma walks away.
Squika: Did you enjoy yourself, Squigley?
Squigley doesn't respond.
Squika: Um...Squigley?
Squika turns around and sees Squigley staring at Pearl and Marina through a window from a distance. Two Inklings and a Jellyfish stand right near the window. The two Inklings take a selfie with Marina in clear view of their phone's screen. Squika slides next to Squigley.
Squika: What are you doing?
Squigley: Just thinking...
Squika follows Squigley's field of vision, and realises he's staring at Marina.
Squika: About Marina?
Squika's thoughts: Weird...I didn't think Squigley was the type of Inkling who oogles over people of the opposite gender...
Squika: I suppose she IS beautiful...
Squigley: No, it's not that.
Squika: Then...what is it?
Squigley: I don't remember seeing another Inkling who looks like her...
Squika: You think she's an Inkling?
Squigley looks at Squika.
Squigley: Well...yeah. She looks just like us...well, except for her tentacles and the rings around her eyes.
Squika: Oh, my dear Squigley, Marina isn't an Inkling.
Squigley appears puzzled.
Squigley: Then what is she?
Squika: An Octoling.
Squigley: An Octo-
Squigley panics.
Squigley's thoughts: Marina's one of THEM?!
Squigley: I...uh...I just remembered that I...uh...left my pillow plugged into a wall outlet.
Squika: Pardon?
Squigley: I better go and unplug it before it turns inside out. Bye!
Squigley dashes away. Squika shakes his head...body...thing.
Squika: Oh, that Squigley is the weirdest Inkling I've ever had the pleasure of knowing...

Squigley is writing in his journal.
Squigley's thoughts: -and now I'm even MORE convinced that Squilma's involved with this whole Octarian rumour that was probably started by Inklinda. I'm tellin' you, girl loves spreading rumours, like that one about Squika and the rubber duck. I mean, what is up with that...?
Anyway, 'til next time!
-Squigley
Squigley closes his journal just as Squilma walks in.
Squigley: 'Sup, Seanwich?
Squigley looks at Squilma.
Squilma: Uh...'sup...Shwaffle?
Squilma snickers.
Squilma: So...Squika said you left him in a hurry.
Squigley panics.
Squigley: What?! Who told you that?!
Squilma's brow flattens.
Squilma: Inklinda.
Squigley: But how did she...oh, NOW I get it.
Squilma sighs.
Squilma's thoughts: He's spending WAY too much time with Inklein...
Squilma: Anyway, why did you leave like that?
Squigley: Oh...I have my reasons.
Squilma sits on the couch next to Squigley.
Squilma: Care to share?
Squigley: Well...
Squilma smiles.
Squilma: You can tell me anything.
Squigley: Well...I know about the Octarians.
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Except that!
Squigley: Then they DO exist?!
Squilma: Sure, if you believe Inklinda's crazy rumours!
Squigley: Well, her rumour about Sheldon's secret stash of fishing magazines turned out to be true!
Squilma: Wow, one of her rumours wasn't fabricated. Big freshing deal! Her track record isn't that impressive, you know!
Squigley points to an open book on the coffee table. The page has a large image of Inklinda, and reads: "Inklinda Squatson holds the record for the largest number of started rumours that turned out to be true."
Squilma: Uh...where did you find that...?
Squigley: I need to know now, Squilma. Are the Octarians really a threat?
Squilma: How should I know? Ask a secret agent!
Squigley: Maybe I will!
Squilma: Maybe you should!
Squigley: Okay then, I will!
Squilma: You do that, then!
Squigley: Fine!
Squilma: Fine!
Squigley and Squilma stare at each other, before they begin to laugh.
Squilma: Oh, whatever did I do without you, Squigley?
Squigley: I'm sure you managed.
Squilma: Yeah, I guess I did...well, time to go to my octaiku class.
Squigley: Have fun!
Squilma: Will do!
Squilma leaves the apartment. Squigley looks through the glass door to the balcony. The scene zooms away from Squilma's apartment to a nearby building rooftop. A shadowy silhouette resembling Inklinda spies on Squigley using binoculars.
"Inklinda": Target, like, acquired or whatever...

- Scene 3: The Shoal: Evening
♫Shellfie
Chirpy Chips
Splatune Records
We see a view of The Shoal, a popular Inkling hangout. Various arcade cabinets are scattered around the room, and a number of Inklings are dancing to the beat of a popular song.
A yellow banner marked with the words "HAPPY B'DAY SQUAM" is attached to the ceiling. Inklinda and Inklein are dancing to the beat.
Inklein: This party is jammin', Lindie!
Inklinda: Yeah! Chirpy Chips is, like, my favourite band after Squid Squad and Hightide Era! I just have one question, though...
Inklein: Which is?
Inklinda: Who the fresh is Squam?
Inklein: You know, that guy I met at the Off the Hook concert?
Inklinda: Inklein, I wasn't AT the concert, remember? I was busy planning my rumours for that week. That work is, like, TOO important for any concert!
Inklein shakes his head.
Inklein: No, you were definitely there! I remember it clearly: you had lime green tennacles and black clothing!
Inklinda sighs.
Inklinda's thoughts: Patience, Inklinda...you knew what you were getting yourself into when you tried to flirt with him...
***
Squilma and Squika are sitting at the bar. Squika slams his cup to the counter-top.
Squika: Another guava juice, my good sir!
The bartender, a Jellyfish, makes a "bloop" sound, before pouring juice into a cup.
Squilma: It's weird...I haven't seen him all night.
Squika: I know what you mean. You'd think the birthday kid would be present, but-
Squilma: Not Squam! I'm talking about-
Squika: Oh, Squienna?
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma: Squika, Squienna is a GIRL!
Squika: Your point being?
Squilma: Well, I clearly said I haven't seen HIM all night!
Squika: Whom?
Squilma's brow flattens.
Squilma: Inklinda.
Squika: But...Inklinda is right over-
Squika closes his eyes.
Squika: You were just "being fresh" with me, weren't you?
Squilma: NOW he gets it...anyway, I meant Squigley. Where IS he?
Squika: I have no idea. The last I saw, he was walking toward The Shoal, before he veered slightly left...
Squika's eyes widen.
Squika's thoughts: Not again...
Scene 4: Inkopolis Square: Evening
Squigley watches Marina from afar.
Squigley's thoughts: So the Octarians have infiltrated Inkopolis...and their chosen one is masquerading as a DJ...
Unbeknownst to Squigley, a Sea Urchin with one gigantic eye is watching him.
Sea Urchin: Suspicious-looking stalker...check! Diligent observer of stalker...check! Now all I need to do is call the authorities...
The Sea Urchin pulls a phone out of his pocket and proceeds to dial a number. Suddenly, an Inkling resembling Inklinda, though with lime green tentacles and some kind of hero outfit, dashes out of the shadows and grabs Squigley's arm.
Squigley: What the-
The Inkling holds her right index finger in front of her mouth.
Inkling: Ssh! Come with me.
Before Squigley can react, the Inkling pulls Squigley into the shadows. The Sea Urchin's eye widens.
Sea Urchin: Wow, that was fast!
Squilma and Squika race up to the window.
Squika: I was certain that he would be here...
Squilma spots the Sea Urchin and approaches him.
Squilma: 'Sup, Murch?
The Sea Urchin smiles.
Murch: Oh, dudette! Your gear need a good scrub?
Squilma: Not right now, thanks.
Murch: Good, 'cause my shop's closed 'til morning.
Squilma: We're looking for an Inkling with green tentacles. Have you seen him?
Murch: Yeah, he was loiterin' outside that window there.
Squilma looks through the window. Pearl is shoving one marshmallow into her mouth after another and attempting to speak as Marina laughs.
Squika: Ah, it appears that Pearl is attempting the Chubby Juddy challenge on live television. A most splendid result!
Pearl suddenly spits out the marshmallows and begins laughing.
Squika: Oh...never mind.
Squilma: Well, where is he now?
Murch: Oh, I called the cops, and he was taken away by some chick who looked like a S.Q.U.A.T. Agent or somesuch.
Squilma: What?! Not good...not good...
Squika: What is it?
Squilma: I...I have to go!
Squilma races away.
Squika: Squilma! But...it's supposed to be your night off! Oh...now what will I do?
Murch: You wanna attempt the Chubby Juddy challenge?
Squika smiles...or something.
Squika: I would, but I do not currently possess a mouth...
Squika's thoughts: ...so how am I able to consume juice...? Hm...
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 5: Unknown Location: Night
The Inklinda lookalike leads Squigley through a number of alleyways.
Squigley: Where exactly are you-
"Inklinda": Ssh!
Squigley: But-
"Inklinda": Ssh!
Squigley: But I-
The scene cuts to black.
Scene 6: Apartment: Night
The scene fades back in. Squigley awakens and sits up, before realising he's on a couch.
Squigley: The heck...?
Voice: Good, you're awake.
Squigley sees the Inklinda lookalike and panics.
Squigley: Inklinda?!
"Inklinda": No! Ugh, why does everyone ALWAYS get me confused with that so-and-so?!
Squigley: Sorry.
"Inklinda": It's fine.
Squigley looks around the room.
Squigley: How did I get here?
"Inklinda": I brought you here.
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Did you squidnap me?!
"Inklinda": Uh..."squidnap" isn't a word, sweetie.
Squigley: Oh...
"Inklinda": It's fine. I understand you might not know a lot about-
The Inklinda lookalike pauses.
"Inklinda": Never mind.
Squigley: Why don't I remember how I got here?
"Inklinda": I knocked you out.
Squigley: You as-salt-ed me?!
"Inklinda": Do you ALWAYS make sea-based puns?
Squigley: Only in the things I write and conversations with other people.
The Inklinda lookalike sighs.
"Inklinda": I should've guessed. In answer to your question, no, I didn't ASSAULT you.
Squigley: Then how-
"Inklinda": It's better if you don't know.
Squigley: Oh...okay then...?
Squigley examines the Inklinda lookalike.
Squigley: You look familiar...are you sure you're not Inklinda?
The Inklinda lookalike sighs.
"Inklinda": No I'm not!
Squigley: Then...who are you?
"Inklinda": Agent 3.
Squigley: "Agent 3"...?
The Inklinda lookalike nods.
Agent 3: That's all you need to know for now.
Squigley: Noted. So...why am I here?
Agent 3: Because you wouldn't stop talking.
Squigley: Oh...sorry about that. Wait...that doesn't exactly answer my question...
Agent 3: I was leading you to a safe place, but you kept blabbering on and on and on and on and on and-
Squigley: Okay, I get the idea!
Agent: Good. Anyway, I rendered you unconscious using..."a special agent", and then I brought you in here until you woke up, at which point I told you to stop talking.
Squigley: That seems like an unnecessarily convoluted way to tell me to shush...
Agent 3: Well, my FIRST plan wasn't working the way I'd hoped.
***
The scene wipes to a montage sequence of Agent 3 leading Squigley through dark alleyways.
Squigley: Look, I-
Agent 3: Ssh!
***
Squigley: Can we-
Agent 3: Ssh!
***
Squigley lets out a fart.
Squigley: Oop, excuse-
Agent 3: Ssh!
***
The scene wipes back to the present.
Squigley: Oh.
Agent 3: Now if you don't mind...
Squigley: Right. Safe place. Got it.
A sound of clinking keys is heard.
Agent 3: Uh-oh.
Squigley: Uh-oh...?
Agent 3: I...may have brought you to the closest building I could find without bothering to check if people live here.
Squigley: You mean you broke into this apartment?!
The door opens, revealing two Inklings, one male and one female. The Inklings stare at Agent 3 and Squigley.
Agent 3: Uh-
Female: AAAAAAAAAAH!
Scene 7: Police Station: Night
Squilma stands at the counter of a police station. An Inkling in a police uniform is taking down notes.
Officer: Uh-huh...and when was the last time you saw your pet?
Squilma: What do you mean "pet"?! Squigley's an Inkling!
The officer raises an eyebrow.
Officer: Are you sure? Squigley sounds more like a name for a pet if you ask me...
Squilma: I'm not kidding around!
Officer: Okay then...when did you last see him?
Squilma: Roughly three hours ago. We were on our way to The Shoal for a birthday party.
The officer raises an eyebrow.
Officer: Isn't that a hangout for teens an' young adults?
Squilma: Well...yeah, it is.
Officer: And you were taking a child there?
Squilma: What?! Squigley's not a child!
Officer: I see...and how old is he?
Squilma: At least 14...probably older, though. I shouldn't tell you this, but he told me in confidence that he thought he was-
Officer: Whoa, whoa, whoa there, bub! We only need to know whether or not he's older than 14.
Squilma: Fair enough. So...can you find him?
Officer: Sure! I just need to finish setting up my action figures...
The officer arranges a collection of Squidkid and Kidsquid action figures on the counter.
Squilma: Uh...you wouldn't happen to know Inklein, would you...?
Officer: Know him? He's my twin cousin!
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma's thoughts: I knew there was an aura of stupidity surrounding this guy...
Squilma: Uh...I'll leave you to do your job...
Squilma walks to the door.
Squilma: He seems a little underqualified...
Squilma's thoughts: ...though "underqualified" may be a HUGE overstatement...
Squilma leaves the station. The officer picks up two figures and begins playing with them.
Officer: "You'll never stop my evil plan to turn the mayor of Inkopolis into a Shwaffle, Squidkid!" "Never underestimate the tide of justice, Kidsquid!" POW! PEW PEW PEW! SPLAT! "NOOOOOOOOOO! My plans are foiled again!"
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 8: Safe Place: Night
Agent 3 leads Squigley to an empty parking lot surrounded by a wire fence. Agent 3 gestures to the fence.
Agent 3: Okay, Squigley. Let's go.
Squigley: How did you know my-
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Wait...go where?
Agent 3: Why, through the fence, of course.
Squigley: Huh? Oh, I get it...it's a gate, right?
Agent 3: No.
Squigley: Oh...but it DOES open up, right?
Agent 3: No.
Squigley: Then...how do we go through it?
Agent 3: Exactly.
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: You've lost me.
Agent 3 sighs.
Agent 3: We need to go THROUGH the fence.
Squigley: What? Inklings can't pass through solid mesh!
Agent 3: Of course they can!
Squigley: What? But...doesn't it hurt?
Agent 3 shakes her head.
Agent 3: Watch me.
Agent 3 pulls a customised Splattershot seemingly from nowhere and splats ink in front of, and through, the fence. She then changes to squid Form, swims through the ink and...jumps straight through the fence.
Squigley: What the fresh?!
Agent 3 changes back to kid form and looks at Squigley.
Agent 3: See? Easy!
Squigley: But...that looks all kinds of painful, and I'm allergic to pain!
Agent 3: Come on, Squigley, you're being ridiculous.
Squigley: But...it's a solid fence!
Agent 3: Squigley, it's wire mesh. You'll be fine, honest.
Squigley: Well...okay.
Squigley pulls his Splattershot seemingly from nowhere and splatters over Agent 3's ink, though with less precision. Squigley sighs.
Squigley: Okay...you can do this, Squigley...
Squigley changes to squid form and leaps into his ink. He swims through the ink and jumps through the fence.
Squigley: OW!
Squigley changes back to kid form. Agent 3 is surprised.
Agent 3: You actually felt pain?!
Squigley: Not exactly.
Agent 3's left eye squints.
Agent 3: Then WHY did you say "OW"?
Squigley: It's kind of an auto-response to anything that I think is gonna hurt.
Agent 3 facepalms.
Agent 3's thoughts: You sure picked a winner, Ally...
Squigley: But why didn't it hurt?
Agent 3: Well, our bodies are liquid.
Agent 3's thoughts: THAT should satisfy his curiosity for now...
Squigley: What? Liquid? But...how is that possible?
Agent 3 mutters under her breath.
Agent 3: So much for THAT theory...
Squigley: What?
Agent 3: I said, "Crusty Sean's food is delicious, isn't it?"
Squigley: Yeah, I guess.
Agent 3: Then it's agreed: tomorrow we will have Shwaffles and Seanwiches for lunch.
Squigley: Yeah...wait...no, I have plans.
Agent 3: Well, your plans are cancelled. I have to keep you safe, Squigley.
Squigley: Why?
Agent 3: Don't argue. Now, welcome to your dome away from home...
Squigley: What, you mean this empty carpark?
Squigley looks around, and realises he's standing under a metal dome, with furniture and other conveniences scattered throughout.
Squigley: Oh. Um...neat.
Agent 3: The carpark is merely a decoy, a hologram that disguises this place from interlopers.
Squigley: Neat.
Agent 3: Oh, you'd better believe it! Entirely self-contained, you'll be safe AND want for nothing. There's even a grate that leads straight to Inkopolis Square for when you feel the itch to venture out and explore.
Squigley: Nice...I could get used to this.
Agent 3: Oh, and don't worry. No-one can see inside the dome, so you'll be able to do whatever you like without fear of anyone spotting you.
***
We cut to a view of the outside of the dome. An Inkling walks past and sees what appears to be Squigley and Agent 3 standing in an empty parking lot. They are talking, but no words can be heard.
Inkling: The fresh is with those peeps? Standing in a deserted parking lot late at night...that's just ASKIN' for trouble...
***
We cut back to a view of the dome's inside.
Agent 3: Well, I'll let you get comfortable. Sleep tight.
Squigley: Goodnight.
Agent 3 changes to squid form and leaps into Squigley's ink.
Agent 3: Oh...this isn't my ink...
Agent 3 manages to leap through the fence, which is sealed shut behind her.
Squigley: So...I guess I have my own place, then...but who's gonna clean up that mess?
Squigley watches as the ink disappears with a "munch munch" sound.
Squigley: The heck...?
***
We cut to a view of the outside of the dome. The Inkling is still staring at Squigley. He watches as Squigley sits down in mid-air and removes his mask and shoes. The Inkling dry-heaves.
Inkling: That is DISGUSTING!
The Inkling watches as Squigley picks up an invisible object and apparently turns on an invisible television. Squigley appears to laugh, but no laughter can be heard.
Inkling: Wow...that's the last time I sleepwalk after eating five Shwaffles before bed!
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 9: Safe Place: Morning
Squigley awakens and sits up, before climbing out of bed.
Squigley's thoughts: That bed was so comfy...
Suddenly, a stream of lime green ink squirts across the ground.
Squigley: What the...?
Agent 3 emerges from the ink and changes to kid form.
Agent 3: We have...a slight problem.
Squigley: We do?
Agent 3 sighs.
Agent 3: Apparently, the projection doesn't disguise anyone inside the dome.
Squigley: Um...what?
Agent 3: Anyone could have witnessed you last night.
Squigley: Like?
Agent 3: Well, there's someone standing outside the dome right now.
***
The scene cuts to the outside of the dome. The same Inkling from before is still staring inside the dome.
Inkling: How could he just...float in midair all night long...?
The Inkling looks around.
Inkling: Wait...it's morning already? I gotta get to my ink-lates class!
The Inkling races away.
***
The scene cuts to the inside of the dome.
Agent 3: We have to go.
Squigley: Understood.
Scene 10: Squilma's Pad: Morning
Squilma and Squika sit on the couch. Squilma is moping.
Squilma: I've looked everywhere...but I don't know where he could be...
Squika: Oh, wish-wash! I'm sure he'll turn up sooner-or-later.
Squilma: What, you think he's just gonna walk through the balcony door?
Squigley, in squid form, suddenly splats onto the door.
Squigley: Ow.
Squigley slowly slides down the door, leaving a smear of green ink across it.
Squilma: Oh, Squigley!
Squigley changes back to kid form and slides open the balcony door, before stepping inside and smiling.
Squigley: 'Sup, team?
Squilma: You're back! Wait...why did you just splat onto the door?
Squigley: Oh, I Super Jumped here.
Squilma: But how?! This apartment's on the 28th floor!
Squigley: Oh...well...
***
The scene cuts to the rooftop of the nearby building. Agent 3 watches Squigley through her binoculars.
Agent 3: I think the safest place for Squigley is, like, with his friends or whatever.
Agent 3's thoughts: Ugh...even mocking her fills me with a repulsive feeling...
***
Squilma: So where were you? It's not like you to stay out all night.
Squigley sits on the couch.
Squigley: I'll tell you another time. Right now, I'm kinda-
Squigley suddenly falls asleep, snoring loudly.
Squilma: Let's let him sleep.
Squika: Agreed. For now, why don't we go and participate in a spiffingly-fun Ranked Battle?
Squilma: Sure! There's just one problem...
Squika: Which is?
Squilma: We need Squigley to do it!
Squika rubs his head with a tentacle.
Squika: Right...in that case, how about Shwaffles and Seanwiches for lunch?
Squilma: It's a date!
Squilma and Squika leave the apartment. The scene pans to a view of Squigley, before slightly zooming into his face. He begins to sleep talk.
Squigley: Wait...no, not the Dualies...ANYTHING but the...zzz...
Scene 11: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
Squigley's face slowly transitions to a still frame of him sitting in midair, presumably laughing at the invisible television. The shadowy figure watches the screen.
Figure: Wow, he's PERFECT! I totally gotta get him for my secret project!
The figure scratches two large turntables with what look like large, shadowed-out sprigs of wasabi.
Figure: Go and find out what you can, but be subtle. We don't want no loser Squidkids finding out about our master plan!
The scene cuts to a view of three creatures resembling red, octopus-like tentacles, each with googly yellow eyes and thick purplish-pink lips.
Creatures: (At once, boss!)
- Squigley's Journal - Log 14:
- Wow, what a weird week...woohoo, multi-alliterations for the WIN! So this Agent 3 person is...kind of weird. And mysterious. Not as weird and mysterious as Squika, but...well, let's just say "differently weird and mysterious". Actually, that could just be the cod calling the cuttle slack...yay for more multi-alliterations!
I'd like to know more, but I haven't seen her since the other morning. I'm sure she knows where to find me if I'm needed...which is a little unsettling when you think about it...anyway, I'm eager to try to solve this whole Octarian puzzle. Maybe it has something to do with why I have no memories...
Oh yeah, Squika and I went to the Shellendorf Institute this morning, but this time to see the exhibits rather than splat other Inklings. We both spotted something on the ceiling, but we couldn't work out if it was an exhibit or just a part of the décor.
We soon found out what it was after it fell onto Squika's face. That Shwaffle looked like it was stuck there for weeks, so...um...ew.
Anyway, 'til next time!

Squintermission: Squilma's Octaiku Class Graduation
AKA "Intermission"
AKA "Intermission"
- Spoiler:
- Scene: Ammo Knights: Pre-Dawn
Squilma stands inside Ammo Knights.
Squilma: Wow, that was amazing!- SPLATOON 2 SINGLE PLAYER SPOILER WARNING!:
- Not only did I rescue the Great Zapfish and pummel the ink out of DJ Octavio, I ALSO managed to help Marie free Callie from his control!
Sheldon: A splendid effort, but your mission is not over yet!
Squilma: What?! But this was supposed to be my last freshing mission for now!
Sheldon: Indeed it was, but...something has arisen involving the Octarians.
Squilma: What?!
Sheldon: It seems that the efforts of Agent 3 were for naught, as a glitch in our high-tech safe place has led to the exposure of-
Squilma: Whoa, whoa, whoa..."safe place"...?
Sheldon: Indeed! The New Squidbeak Splatoon developed a state-of-the-art, self-contained dome away from home for a specific individual, in order to keep him safe from the Octarian threat.
Squilma: Sounds complicated.
Sheldon: Oh, not at all! The entire thing is concealed by a camouflage matrix that disguises it as an empty parking lot. However, I did not add the necessary calculation for the matrix to disguise the dome's occupant as well, which has led to the unfortunate dry-heaving of an Inkopolitan civilian. No-one should have to endure such an awful affliction!
Squilma: Yeah, ew...so what's my role in this whole thing?
Sheldon: You must keep the Octarians' target safe at any and all cost, for if he is captured-
Squilma: Wait...you want me to babysit some person?
Sheldon: In a figurative sense, yes.
Squilma: In case you've forgotten, I'm already babysitting TWO Inklings! Why should I have to watch a third one as well?!
Sheldon: You don't.
Squilma: Oh, that's a relief...having two-and-a-half mouths to feed is enough, tee-wy-vee-em!
Sheldon: The Inkling you need to protect is one of the two you mentioned.
Squilma: Wait...you mean...?!
Squilma's thoughts: But why do the Octarians want Squika?!
- Squilma's Diary:
- 'Sup, diary? Squilma here with the freshest goss!
So Inklinda was criticising my Turf War technique again today. She was all like, "Oh, like, Squilma, your technique is all, like, all over the place! You're always, like, rolling around and, like, dodging or whatever...like!" Ugh, I swear that girl thinks everyone should use an Inkbrush. Just because SHE'S a student at Inkblot Art Academy...
Also, it turns out that I need to protect Squigley from the Octarians now. As if I didn't have enough on my plate...oh, I just remembered that blue plate special I had for lunch. The plate was white at first, but Inklein just HAD to show off his new Roller technique...and he STILL sucked! I mean...I get that you're trying to be friendly, but keep the splatting for Turf War, dude!
I just hope I can keep Squiggles safe from the Octarians. I don't know what they want with him, but I intend to find out, so my "octaiku classes" are gonna continue, at least for now.
Agent Squilma, signing off!

Someone: I don't remember...

Squilma: Uh...yeah. I'm Squilma.
Inklein: Wilma?
Squilma's brow flattens.
Squilma: Sure...
***
Squilma is giggling.
Squilma: What? That's absurd! The Great Zapfish isn't missing!
***
Squigley excitedly opens the box.
Squigley: I've been looking forward to receiving my-
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: Wait...this isn't a pair of headphones...
***
Judd: Meow... (Okay, the verdict is in...)
Lil' Judd: Mew... (And the winners are...)
After a moment of anticipation, Judd holds out his flag, whereas Lil' Judd trips and falls flat on his belly.
Judd: Meow! (The Good Guys!)
Squilma and the other two dark purple-tentacled Inklings are frustrated, whereas Squigley cheers.
Squigley: YES! We won!
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: Squiggles, we were the Bad Guys!
Squigley: Wait...we were? But...I'm not bad...oh, then that means...WE LOST?!
***
Squilma: Wow, nearly two minutes in and still no sign of Inklinda...could this be our lucky day?
Inklinda's voice: You wish!
***
Squilma grabs Squigley's hand and begins pulling him away. Squika watches them and rubs both tentacles together.
Squika: So...it appears that Squilma wishes to start a team with her new friend...at last, I can hatch my splendiferous master plan...
***
We cut to a view of Squika. He is leaping out of the pumpkin-orange ink like a dolphin.
Squika: La! Lalala! Lalala! La! La! I...am ORANGE! I...am ORANGE! Usually-I'm-purple-but-now-I...am ORAAAAAAAAAANGE!
***
Squika stretches his tentacle to pick up his cup, but knocks it over instead, causing his drink to spill. Squigley suddenly stands up.
Squigley: My shorts!
A random Inkling walks past. He snickers as he sees Squigley's shorts.
Inkling: Nice one, kid!
The Inkling begins walking away. Squilma stands up and glares at the Inkling.
Squilma: Oh, grow up, Squam!
***
Squika begins leaping out of the ink like a dolphin.
Squika: La lalala lalala la la! I am PURPLE! I am PURPLE! Sometimes-I-am-orange-but-now-I...am PURPLLLLLLLLLLE!
***
Judd: MEOW! (GOOD GUYS AM THE WEENERS!)
We cut to a view of Squigley, Squilma, Squika and Squam, who are frustrated. Squigley throws out his arms.
Squigley: Do the Good Guys ALWAYS win?!
Squam: Only when the Bad Guys lose...duh...
Squilma flips out.
Squilma: Shut up, Squam!
***
Inklein: THIS MUSIC'S SO AWESOME!
Squam: YEAH, DUDE! OFF THE HOOK ROCKS!
Inklein: WHAT? YOU CAN'T PUT POP ROCKS IN LEMONADE!
Squam: MARINA? YEAH, SHE IS HOT!
***
Squigley: Hold on...Lil' Judd usually announces the Bad Guys as having won, right?
Squilma: Yeah? So?
Squigley: And we won...which SHOULD make us the Bad Guys, right?
Squilma: Oh...you're right...so if Judd is the only judge present, then the Good Guys must win by default...and the opposite must be true for Lil' Judd...
Squam: What?! HAKES! I CALL HAKES!
Squilma: Enough with the puns, Squam!
Squigley: Then...the Bad Guys sometimes win...meaning Squam was right!
Squam holds his fists to his hips and pulls a superhero pose.
Squam: All in a day's work for...SQUAM MAN!
Squilma sighs.
***
Squilma: Anything to say, Squam?
Squam nods.
Squam: Yeah, I just want to say that I-
Squam suddenly coughs and hacks.
Squam: I think I swallowed a bug!
The cast and crew laugh.
Squam: Can we do that take again?
Director: No, I think we got enough footage here.
Squam: Really? Wow...I'm still getting paid the full amount right?
Director: Uh...sure...
Squam: Sweet!
***
Squika: What are you doing?
Squigley: Just thinking...
Squika follows Squigley's field of vision, and realises he's staring at Marina.
Squika: About Marina?
Squika's thoughts: Weird...I didn't think Squigley was the type of Inkling who oogles over people of the opposite gender...
***
Squilma smiles.
Squilma: You can tell me anything.
Squigley: Well...I know about the Octarians.
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Except that!
Squigley: Then they DO exist?!
Squilma: Sure, if you believe Inklinda's crazy rumours!
***
Squigley: I need to know now, Squilma. Are the Octarians really a threat?
Squilma: How should I know? Ask a secret agent!
***
A shadowy silhouette resembling Inklinda spies on Squigley using binoculars.
"Inklinda": Target, like, acquired or whatever...
***
Squigley: You look familiar...are you sure you're not Inklinda?
The Inklinda lookalike sighs.
"Inklinda": No I'm not!
Squigley: Then...who are you?
"Inklinda": Agent 3.
Squigley: "Agent 3"...?
The Inklinda lookalike nods.
Agent 3: That's all you need to know for now.
***
Squilma: Fair enough. So...can you find him?
Officer: Sure! I just need to finish setting up my action figures...
The officer arranges a collection of Squidkid and Kidsquid action figures on the counter.
Squilma: Uh...you wouldn't happen to know Inklein, would you...?
Officer: Know him? He's my twin cousin!
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma's thoughts: I knew there was an aura of stupidity surrounding this guy...
***
The scene cuts to the rooftop of the nearby building. Agent 3 watches Squigley through her binoculars.
Agent 3: I think the safest place for Squigley is, like, with his friends or whatever.
Agent 3's thoughts: Ugh...even mocking her fills me with a repulsive feeling...
***
Squigley's face slowly transitions to a still frame of him sitting in midair, presumably laughing at the invisible television. The shadowy figure watches the screen.
Figure: Wow, he's PERFECT! I totally gotta get him for my secret project!
The figure scratches two large turntables with what look like large, shadowed-out sprigs of wasabi.
Figure: Go and find out what you can, but be subtle. We don't want no loser Squidkids finding out about our master plan!
The scene cuts to a view of three creatures resembling red, octopus-like tentacles, each with googly yellow eyes and thick purplish-pink lips.
Creatures: (Hai, Tako-sama!)
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Manta Maria: Afternoon
♫Fins & Fiddles
Bottom Feeders
Splatune Records
We see a view of the deck of the Manta Maria. Copious amounts of neon green and neon pink ink are scattered across the deck.
Squigley, who has neon green ink, splats an Inkling with neon pink ink with his Splattershot.
Squigley: YES! Having my natural ink colour during Turf War fills me with a strong feeling of confidence and non-noobishness!
Inklinda's voice: Well, you're not gonna beat ME, Squigley! HAHAHAHAHA!
Squigley sees Inklinda run toward him.
Squigley: ...the fresh?!
Inklinda waves her Inkbrush at Squigley, splatting him. His ghost floats back to the start pad.
Inklinda: It's, like, SO much easier splatting him when Squilma's absent or whatever...
***
Squigley's ghost floats back into the spawn pad. As Squigley respawns, Inklein suddenly splats him.
Inklein: Wow, spawn camping is FUN!
Squigley's ghost floats up slightly, then floats back into the pad. Inklein once again splats Squigley as he is respawning.
Inklein: Boy, Inklinda shoulda ordered me to do this weeks ago!
Squigley's ghost floats up slightly, then floats back into the pad for a third time. Inklein once again splats the respawning Squigley.
Inklein: I...should probably stop and give him a chance.
Inklein steps back as Squigley's ghost re-enters the pad. Squigley respawns, but his shoes, clothing, mask and Splattershot are missing.
Inklein: Uh...why are you naked...?
Squigley: Pardon?
A lime green-tinged squid ghost enters the pad, which respawns into Squika. Squika suddenly inks.
Squika: Squigley! Y-You're...
Squigley looks at Squika.
Squigley: I'm what?
A third ghost floats into the pad, and respawns into a female Inkling with a single, long, wavy tentacle near the left side of her face, as well as a pair of wrap-around headphones. She dry-heaves as she sees Squigley.
Inkling: Squigley, dude, you NEED to put some gear on or something!
Squigley: Even SQUIENNA thinks I'm-
Squigley growls.
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I'M-
Scene 2: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley, Squika and Inklein proceed to the Galleria.
Squigley: I don't get it...how could my gear be splatted? Shouldn't it have respawned along with me?
Squika: Usually, yes, but it appears that it is unwise to splat an opponent mid-respawn.
Inklein: Yeah...sorry, Wiggles.
Squigley: It's fine.
Inklein: Anyway, since this is all my fault, I'll buy your new gear.
Squienna walks up to the group. Her tentacles are now cyan.
Squienna: No, it's Inklinda's fault. She forced you to do it. SHE'S the one who should buy Squigley's new gear.
Inklinda's voice: THERE YOU ARE OR WHATEVER!
Squienna's eyes bulge.
Squienna: Uh-oh.
Squika: What did you do, Squienna...?
Squienna: I...may have trimmed her Inkbrush a little.
Inklein: You did what...?
Squienna: Gotta go!
Squienna dashes away. Inklinda runs after her.
Inklinda: Hey, like, come back here!
Squigley: Well...it's nice of you to buy my replacement gear, Inklein.
Squika: Inklein Schminklein!
Inklein looks at Squika.
Inklein: Hey, what's wrong with me doing something nice?
Squika: No...I mean...that IS your name, yes?
Inklein stares blankly at Squika for a few seconds.
Inklein: It is...?
Squika: Of course! You recently received a scholarship at Shellendorf University, did you not? Your name was on the list of new students posted in the entrance hall.
Inklein slowly makes a big smile.
Inklein: Oh yeah...NOW I remember...
Squika: So where is our first destination, Squigley?
Squigley: Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe.
Squika: Splendid! Off we go, then!
The trio proceeds to Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe. Inklein spots a device on the ground and picks it up.
Inklein: Ominous...I wonder if this'll swap someone's body with someone else's in the next part...? Oh well.
Inklein slips the device into his pocket and follows Squigley and Squika.
To be Continued...
- Part 2:
- Scene 3: Headspace: Morning
Squigley, Squika and Inklein stand inside Headspace. Squigley is wearing an orange t-shirt and orange shoes marked with blue splat marks. Flow appears happy.
Flow: Your Painter's Mask was..."splatted"? That is the most fantastic news I've heard all week!
Craymond: I LOVE MONDAYS!
Squigley: What? THAT'S good news?!
Inklein: Actually, I think Aunt Flow is just making a fresh joke...uh...I think.
Flow shakes her head.
Flow: Quite the contrary, my dear.
Inklein: Wait...which country do you mean...?
Craymond: YOU AM DUMDUM!
Inklein: Aw, who's a cute little shrimp? Wait...is he a shrimp or a prawn? I always get those two things mixed-up...
Flow: I have been waiting weeks for your return so that I can give you this. Here you are, my dear.
Flow hands a box to Squigley. One of her frills brushes Squigley's wrist.
Squigley's thoughts: And she wonders why I haven't come back here...eeeeeeew...
Squigley: Uh...thank you.
Squigley opens the box.
Squigley: Wait...these are my headphones...?
Scene 4: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley, Squika and Inklein leave Headspace. Squigley is now wearing his headphones.
Squigley: These are awesome!
Squika: I am happy for you, Squigley.
Inklein: Doody.
Squika looks at Inklein.
Squika: Do you mean "ditto"?
Inklein laughs.
Inklein: Why would I mean a pink blob with a face? Silly Squika!
Squika's thoughts: One wonders exactly HOW he got into Shellendorf University...
Squigley: Okay, I have my new gear, so let's Turf War!
Squigley takes a single step. Inklein points at Squigley.
Inklein: OBJECTION!
Squigley stops walking. He slowly turns to look at Inklein.
Squigley: What are you, Phoenix Wright or something?
Inklein: Aren't you forgetting something?
Squigley thinks for a moment. His eyes widen.
Squigley: I need a weapon!
Inklein: Wait...what? I was gonna say you should get a Shwaffle from The Crust Bucket...
Squika: Inklein is most correct. You will need a suitable weapon to replace your Splattershot.
Squigley: Oh, good point. Okay, to Ammo Knights!
Scene 5: Ammo Knights: Morning
Squigley, Squika and Inklein stand inside Ammo Knights. Sheldon rubs his hands together.
Sheldon: A new Splattershot? I have JUST the product to meet your needs, Squigley!
Squigley: Couldn't I just have the same model as my old one?
Sheldon: Nonsense! Wait here a sec...
Sheldon walks up to a shelf and picks up a Splattershot. It looks the same as Squigley's old one, but it is marked with a brand name logo. Sheldon shows it to Squigley.
Sheldon: This Splattershot is manufactured by Tentatek, a company known for creating quality equipment for Turf War-loving Inklings such as yourself.
Inklein: Ooh, shiny...
Sheldon: This particular unit is built with a non-reflective matte finish, and blah blah blah...
***
Two hours later...
Sheldon: ...blah blah blah a winner is you!
We cut to a view of Squigley, Squika and Inklein. Squigley stares in Sheldon's direction, but his expression is a little blank. Squika lies looking at the ceiling. Inklein is also lying down, though he is asleep, snoring loudly.
Inklein: Zzz...ngyes...zzz...ngyes...zzz-
Inklinda suddenly bursts into Ammo Knights. Inklein leaps into the air, before falling onto his bottom.
Inklein: STAAAAAAAY FRESH! Huh...?
Inklinda: Have any of you seen an Inkling with stupid-looking cyan tentacles, a stupid-looking outfit and a stupid-looking-
A bolt of electricity suddenly emerges from Inklein's pocket, zapping Inklinda.
Sheldon: What...?
The bolt heads straight for Inklein, but somehow arcs around him, zapping Squika. Inklinda and Squika both writhe and squirm.
Squigley: Wh-What's going on?!
Inklein: Yeah! PARTY TIME!
Inklein begins to dance. Suddenly, a large splat of orange ink emerges from Inklinda, while a large splat of purple ink emerges from Squika. The view is splattered by orange and purple ink.
Inklein's voice: Wait...does anyone else see two colours with names that can't be rhymed all over the place?
Inklinda's voice: Ah, THERE'S the genius-level intellect I thought you lacked, my blue-tentacled friend!
Inklein's voice: Oh...thanks, Inklinda!
Squika's voice: For what?
Sheldon's voice: I believe that Inklinda complimented Inklein, Squika.
Inklinda's voice: No she didn't. I did!
Squigley: Wait...something's wrong...
Inklinda's voice: Oh, wish-wash, Squigley! What could possibly be wrong on such a fine day?
Squika's voice: Yeah, like, freshen out or whatever, Squiggles.
Squigley's voice: Okay, now I'm REALLY confused...
Inklein's voice: Oh, the camera lens has ink all over it. Lemme just clean it up...
We see a view of a cloth wiping away the ink. Squigley, Inklein and Sheldon stand near what looks to be two unfamiliar Inklings: an orange Inkling in squid form, and a male Inkling with brown skin, purple spiky tentacles, a leather jacket, tinted sunglasses and black and white sneakers.
Inklein: There we go...and-
Inklein looks at the orange Inkling.
Inklein: Lindie? Is...is that you...?
The orange squid form Inkling shakes its head...body...thing. It speaks with Inklinda's voice.
Squid: Of course not, silly billy!
Inklein scratches his head.
Inklein: My name's not "Silly Billy". It's "Inklein Schminklein"...
The male kid form Inkling raises his hand. He speaks with Squika's voice.
Kid: I'm, like, Inklinda or whatever.
The orange Inkling looks at the male one.
Squid: Wait...why am I standing over there...?
The male Inkling looks at the orange one.
Kid: And why am I, like, over there and junk...?
Both Inklings' eyes widen.
Kid: AAAAAAAAHH!
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 6: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley, Inklein, the purple kid and the orange squid stand outside Ammo Knights.
Squigley: How could this have happened?!
Kid: You, like, took the words right out of my mouth, Squiggles...
Squid: I think the first thing we need to do is think rationally about this predicament. Inklinda and I are in each others' bodies.
Inklein: ...what?
The kid looks at Inklein.
Kid: Are you, like, kidding me? You couldn't work it out?! AFTER YOU CAUSED THIS WHOLE MESS?!
Inklein: I did?
Sheldon's voice: Indeed you did, my friend!
Sheldon is suddenly standing there.
Squigley: Wait...how is that possible?
Sheldon: Reach into your pocket, Inklein.
Inklein: Uh...okay...?
Inklein reaches into his pocket. His left eye squints.
Inklein: ...the fresh?
Inklein pulls the device from his pocket.
Inklein: What was THIS doing in my pocket...?
Squigley: What is it?
Squid: Ah, it appears to be a crudely-constructed device of enigmatic origin.
The squid inner-monologues with Squika's voice.
Squid's thoughts: Perhaps this is the explanation for his scholarship...he must be a technological genius...
Inklein: Wow, Lindie, you sound all smart an' junk today...
The kid flips out.
Kid: Darn it, Inklein! He's not Inklinda! I am!
Inklein looks at the kid.
Inklein: But...I thought your name was Squeaky...?
Sheldon: Can we PLEASE get back to this situation?
Inklein: Oh, you're right, Shelmet. Let's give them both names!
The squid is delighted.
Squid: A splendid idea, my good fellow! May I suggest a portmanteau of each others' names?
Inklein: A portma-whuh?
Squid: It's simple. We swap the second halves of each others' names, and use the solutions as our temporary monikers.
Inklein: So you'll both be called Monica?
The kid facepalms.
Kid: Idiot.
Squid: Using this system, I shall henceforth be known as "Squinda".
Squigley: Ah, I like it...which would make Inklinda-
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley's thoughts: She's not gonna like THAT one...
Squinda: Indeed! My swap-buddy shall be known as Inklika!
Inklein grins.
Inklein: I like it!
The kid is alarmed.
Kid: Oh, FRESH no!
Squinda: What's wrong with it, my dear?
Inklein: Yeah, Inkleaky?
Kid: Considering the body my soul is currently inhabiting or whatever, there is NO WAY in Octopia that I want to be associated with leaking ink! Ugh, I'd rather be called Monica...
Squigley: Hm...well, what about "Inkid"?
The kid ponders Squigley's suggestion.
Kid: Well...I guess it IS better than "Inklika"...okay, for the HOPEFULLY BRIEF length of time I'm in this body, you may call me Inkid.
Squinda: Splendid! Let's go to Ate & Switch to celebrate!
Inkid: Uh-uh, no way, forget it! I'd rather work a Salmon Run shift than be caught in public in this body! Um...no offense, sweetie.
Squinda: A LOT taken, Inkid.
Sheldon: Excellent! While I figure out this device, you can hide out in my shop while I tell you about all the new stock of weapons and-
Inkid: On second thought, Ate & Switch is, like, the PERFECT place to show off my new body! HAHAHAHAHA!
The group walks away. Sheldon holds the device in his hand.
Sheldon: Hm...this technology...it almost looks...no, it COULDN'T be...I'll need to get some outside help for this one...
Scene 7: Ate & Switch: Afternoon
The group sits at a table in Ate & Switch. An Inkling waiter serves the group their meals.
Waiter: Enjoy.
Inkid: Thanks.
The waiter walks away. Inkid smells his food.
Inkid: Ah...spaghetti and reefballs...NOTHING can spoil my mood right now...
We hear a "splat" sound, and a glob of green ink lands in Inkid's meal.
Inkid: The fresh...?
Squigley: Oh, that was me...
We cut to a view of Squigley.
Squigley: Yeah, my shirt kind of...splatted itself. Not sure why...
Every other Inkling in Ate & Switch dry-heaves.
Inkling #1: He's NAKED!
Inkling #2: I nearly puked!
Inkling #3: Come on, let's get outta here!
Every other customer leaves the restaurant. The waiter walks up to Squigley and crosses his arms together.
Waiter: Hm-hm.
Squigley blushes.
Squigley: Sorry about that...
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 8: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
The three tentacle-like creatures hide in the shadows, looking out for Squigley. One of them looks around.
Tentacle #1: (Have either o' you guys seen mah body change-o-matic?)
Tentacle #2: (You LOST it?!)
Tentacle #1: (Yeah, bruh. 'Sgone.)
Tentacle #3: (*sigh*...you can borrow my spare.)
Tentacle #1: (Really?! Oh, thanks, bruh!)
The third tentacle throws a device identical to the one Inklein picked up onto the first tentacle's body.
Tentacle #3: (Just don't be surprised about the form you're about to take...)
Tentacle #1: (Wait...what do you-)
All three tentacles are surrounded by electricity. Each one changes into what resembles an Inkling with red tentacles.
The first and third "Inklings" appear female, with both having tentacles resembling pigtails. The second one, meanwhile, appears male, and has tentacles that look like a bob cut.
Tentacle #1: -mean by that, Octotrooper Gamma?
The second tentacle looks at the first one and laughs.
Tentacle #1: What's so funny, Octotrooper Beta?!
The second tentacle struggles not to laugh.
Beta: You look ridiculous, Octotrooper Alpha!
The third tentacle's left eye squints.
Tentacle #3: What?! He looks EXACTLY the same as I do!
Beta: I know, Gamma! That's what makes this whole thing so fu-hu-hunny-hee-hee-hee!
Alpha: Look, can we PLEASE focus on our mission, bruhs?!
Octotrooper Beta sighs.
Beta: Oh, very well. Let's all look for this "Squigley" fellow. Now, all Inklings look pretty much the same-
Alpha: Don't remind me...
Beta: -so it'll most likely be like trying to find a needle in a craystack.
Gamma: There he is!
Octotrooper Gamma points at Squigley, Inklein, Squinda and Inkid. Alpha's eyes widen.
Alpha: H-How did you spot him so fast, bruh?!
Gamma: What can I say? I have a knack for spotting small details, like that stain on my Octomobile.
Octotrooper Gamma glares at Octotrooper Beta, who appears to start sweating.
Gamma: Now come on, let's try to get a closer look...WITHOUT being spotted.
As Octotrooper Gamma walks past Octotrooper Alpha, she elbows him in the stomach.
Gamma: And I'm NOT your "bruh". I'm your dear big sister. Let's not forget that.
Octotrooper Gamma walks past Octotroopers Alpha and Beta in a semi-seductive manner.
Gamma: It's sooooo good to have arms again...
Octotrooper Alpha looks at Octotrooper Beta.
Alpha: What's HIS problem?
Octotrooper Beta shrugs and makes an "I dunno" sound.
***
Squigley, Inklein, Squinda and Inkid walk inside Ammo Knights.
Beta: DRAT! They just entered the worst possible location for us!
Alpha: They did?
Octotrooper Beta glares at Octotrooper Alpha.
Beta: Do you have ANY idea who runs Ammo Knights, takoyaki-for-brains?!
Alpha: Uh...you?
Octotrooper Gamma giggles.
Gamma: Ammo Knights, a business run by Sheldon Shellendorf, grandson of Ammoses Shellendorf, menace to the Octarian Empire and all-around poopoohead.
Octotrooper Beta looks at Octotrooper Gamma.
Beta: "Poopoohead?"
Gamma: We all need to keep this fanfic safe enough to post on the message board, so I chose to use careful censorship. Besides, those annoying bleeps are SO annoying...
Alpha: What, like the ones you hear when someone says *BLEEP*?
Gamma: Ugh...yes, like those ones. Now, could we-
Alpha: Or *BLEEP*?
Gamma: Again, yes. Now, do kindly shut your-
Alpha: Or how about *BLEEP*?
Octotrooper Beta kicks Octotrooper Alpha seemingly over the horizon.
Alpha: FREEEEEEEESH!
Gamma: You hate the bleeps too, Beta?
Octotrooper Beta shakes his head.
Beta: No, I hate it when a character uses the big three in a single scene.
Octotrooper Gamma nods.
Gamma: Understandable.
Scene 9: Ammo Knights: Afternoon
Sheldon appears excited.
Sheldon: I think I've figured out this technology!
Squigley: You have?
Sheldon: Yes, indeed I have, my friend! I won't bore you with the details-
Inkid: Thank freshness...
Sheldon: -but it's the most interesting thing I've ever had the opportunity to study!
Inklein: So what is it?
Sheldon: Well, simply put, it is a genetic transmogrification device that is specifically created to temporarily alter the physiology of whomever uses it. If one presses this button here, then blah blah blah-
Two hours later...
-blah blah blah and so when Inklein landed on it accidentally - no doubt due to Inklinda's sudden entrance - the device caused an unintended effect, leading to the swapping of Squika's and Inklinda's bodies.
Inkid: Yeah, yeah, we get the point! So you've found a way to switch us back?
Sheldon shakes his head.
Sheldon: Unfortunately, the swap is permanent. There is no way I can restore you both to normal.
Inkid: What the *BLEEP*?! You have GOT to be *BLEEP*ing KIDDING me! Oh, *BLEEP*!
We hear two groans from outside.
Gamma's voice: So many bleeps...
Beta's voice: I can't believe she used the big three in one freaking LINE!
Inklein: Did...anyone else hear that?
Squinda: I'm sure you imagined it, my good fellow.
Inklein: Yeah, you're probably right, Lindie.
Inkid: For the last time, Inklein, HE'S not Inklinda! I AM!
Squinda: Well...I guess we're now hybrids of each other, since the swap is permanent...
Inkid saddens a little.
Inkid: Yeah, you're right...I guess I need to, like, get used to this body or whatever. I've already inked myself three times today. Totes disgusto!
Sheldon: Now now, my fr-
Sheldon pauses.
Sheldon: Now now, there IS a way to transform you into your original forms.
Inkid: Really? HOW?! FOR THE LOVE OF FRESHNESS TELL MEEEEEEE!!
Sheldon: Erm...well, I should be able to transform Squika's old body into yours, and vice-versa.
Squigley: Oh, right, because it was designed to transmute rather than switch, right?
Inkid: Uh..."transmute" isn't a word, sweetie.
Sheldon: Now, hold still while I-
Inkid: Wait...is this gonna hurt?
Sheldon holds his hand behind his back.
Sheldon: Not at all, I promise!
We cut to a view of Sheldon's hand. His fingers are crossed. We cut to a view of Sheldon pressing the button. Inkid and Squinda both jolt with electricity. A burst of orange ink splats from Inkid, whereas a splat of purple ink splats from Squinda. The camera lens is once again covered up.
Inklein's voice: I'm too scared to look! Did it work?!
Inklinda's voice: Well, maybe if you, like, looked at me, you'd find out or whatever!
Squika's voice: Indeed, my good fellow. It does not hurt to take a gander, does it?
Inklein's voice: Oh no, they're still in each other's bodies! This is horrible!
Squika's voice: Actually, I am in my own body.
Inklinda's voice: And I'm in, like, mine!
Sheldon's voice: Actually, Inklein is correct.
Inklinda's voice: Um...like...what?
Sheldon's voice: I was unable to swap you back, so I had to change your bodies into each other's. You are more-or-less restored, but you are still technically swapped. Inklein is truly a gifted mind.
Inklinda's voice: Yeah, he's gifted, alright...
Inklein's voice: I'm...confused. And why do they keep splatting ink?
A splat of green ink suddenly appears in the middle of the camera lens.
Squigley's voice: My shoes!
Inklein's voice: Oh, come on! Why is everyone but me splatting now?!
Sheldon's voice: Oh, there's a smear of ink on the lens. Let me just clean that off...there we go.
We see a cloth wipe away the ink. Inklinda is standing where Inkid stood, whereas Squika is in Squinda's spot. Squigley's shoes are missing. Inklinda dry-heaves.
Inklinda: Okay, WHY do his clothes keep, like, splatting or whatever?
Sheldon: Over-splatting.
Squika: "Over-splatting?"
Sheldon: A problem that only develops when one is constantly splatted during respawn.
Inklinda: Oh...is that serious?
Sheldon: Well, the problem persists the higher the number of spawn-splats that occur.
Inklein: How high are we talking?
Sheldon: Oh, as few as three could mean that an Inkling cannot safely wear gear without risk of it turning to a burst of ink.
A blank expression appears on Inklinda's face.
Inklinda's thoughts: What have I made Inklein DO...?!
Inklein: Wow, this week's story wrapped up a whole part sooner than usual!
Squika: Oh, you're right, Inklein! I wonder what could possibly fill up part five...?
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 10: Inkopolis Square: Evening
Squigley, Squika, Inklein and Inklinda leave Ammo Knights.
Squigley: I miss Squilma...
Inklinda: Oh yeah, I've, like, been meaning to ask where she is.
Squigley: Well, she's currently taking a vacation in a place called...Calamari County...I think.
Inklinda: You think?
Inklein: Wow, I wish I could do that!
Squika: You wish you could think?
Inklinda: He's not the only one, sweetie.
Inklein: No, I mean take a vacation. I wonder where I could go...
Squigley: Camp Triggerfish!
Inklinda: No, we were there just yesterday doing Clam Blitz. I finally inched my way to C rank! Oh...and so did my teammate, I guess...even IF all he did was doodle pictures of Squilma using his ink...
Squika: Okay, I've reached splatting point! How in the name of all things fresh did Inklein land a scholarship at Shellendorf University?!
Inklinda: Oh, it's an art scholarship.
Squigley: An art scholarship?
Inklinda: Duh! That's what I said! Ugh...you're, like, as clueless as Inklein sometimes...no offense, sweetie.
Squigley: A LOT taken, Inklinda...
Inklein: I'm the bestest student at Inkplop Art Macaroni!
Squika: Do you mean "Inkblot Art Academy"...?
Inklein: Yeah...the second one. Look what I drawed this morning!
Inklein holds up a very impressive sketch of Marina. Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Wow...it's so...
Squika notices Squigley.
Squika: Ah, do I sense a spark of attraction from you, Squigley?
Squigley: What? No, I don't care about looks. I'm just amazed at how exquisite Inklein's technique looks...
Squika examines Inklein's sketch.
Squika: I agree...Inklein, you have genuine artistic talent!
Inklinda: Oh yeah? Well, check out what I drew!
Inklinda holds up a sheet of paper marked with a pink crayon drawing of a stick figure that vaguely resembles Pearl.
Squigley: Well, it's certainly unique.
Inklinda beams with delight.
Inklinda: Like, thanks, Squigley. You're always so nice or whatever!
Squika: Well, they can't ALL be winners, can they?
Inklinda: WHAT?! TAKE THAT BACK, YOU BOTTOM-FEEDING SUCTION FART!
Squika: I will not!
Inklinda growls.
Inklinda: I'll...I'll...um...
An Inkopolis News broadcast suddenly begins on the main screen above Deca Tower's entrance.
***
♫Inkopolis News
Off the Hook
Splatune Records
Pearl and Marina appear on-screen.
Pearl: Y'all know what time it is!
Marina: It's Off the Hook, coming at you LIVE from Inkopolis Square!
***
Squika: Ooh, I think this is the-
Inklinda: Ssh!
Squika grumbles.
***
Pearl: Yo, a new Splatfest is coming soon!
Marina: Ooh, really? What's the theme, Pearlie?
Pearl: Okay, Marina, chill out! The Splatfest theme is...
The monitor behind Pearl and Marina shows two sides: a pale yellow side marked "Salt", and a navy blue side marked "Pepper".
Pearl: Salt and Pepper!
Marina: I know which side I'M choosing.
Pearl: Me too! Team Salt all the way!
Marina: What? Pepper is MUCH better than salt! It adds a kick to any dish.
Pearl: Yeah, but you're not gonna put pepper on strawberry ice-cream, are you?
Marina: Wait...you put salt on ice-cream, Pearlie? That's so silly!
Pearl: No, I...look, I'm just trying to prove a point. Pepper isn't THAT versatile!
Marina: Even so, it definitely allows for more creative cooking than salt. With salt, what you see is what you get.
Pearl: Well...at least you don't end up constantly sneezing if you spill salt on a table!
Marina: Nope, you end up with seven years bad luck instead.
Pearl: UNLESS you throw it over your shoulder! What do you get if you throw PEPPER over your shoulder?
Marina: Um...
Pearl: Ha! Salt is the best!
Marina: Right...which explains why you sulk every time you lose. "Oh, I lost! Here comes the salt!"
Pearl: Oh, REAL mature, Marina! You ALWAYS complain that your food is too spicy, and yet you chose Team Pepper?
Marina: That's because I hate chilli, Pearlie. You should know, you hate it too!
Pearl: Uh...no I don't!
Marina: Yes you do! Just yesterday you complained that your red curry had too much chilli in it.
Pearl: Well it did! Anyway, this is a fight between salt and pepper, not chilli and pepper!
Marina: Just admit that pepper is superior and I'll let it slide.
Pearl: ♫No way! No way! Salt all the way! Get outta my way, cause salt's my way or the highway!
Marina slow-claps.
Marina: Another rapping masterpiece by Pearl. Speaking of which, we need to wrap this up.
Pearl and Marina look at the camera.
Pearl: So which side will you choose: Salt or Pepper?
Marina: Be sure to vote, and look forward to another exciting Splatfest soon!
The screen wipes briefly.
Pearl: Check it! Here are the current Regular Battle stages.
***
Squigley: Wow, a Splatfest! I'm super-excited! I...wait...what's a Splatfest?
Squika, Inklinda and Inklein are stunned.
Inklinda: You, like, have a LOT to learn or whatever, Squiggles...
Squienna walks up to the group.
Squienna: Hey, guys! So which team are you gonna-
Inklinda's eyes seemingly ignite as she glares at Squienna.
Inklinda: DON'T THINK I FORGOT WHAT YOU DID!
Squienna: Gotta go!
Squienna dashes away. Inklinda chases her.
Inklinda: LIKE, COME BACK HERE OR WHATEVER!
Inklein stares at Inklinda and smiles.
Inklein: It's nice to see Inklinda making new friends.
- Squigley's Journal - Log 25:
- Wow, Squilma's been gone for nearly a week now...I hope she's enjoying Calamari County. I hear that's where the Squid Sisters are from, which is nice. I mean, moving from the country to the city must've been a real sea change for them both, and they're doing well. I am happy that Callie came back safe and sound, though I do wonder what happened to her in the first place...
Also, it seems as though more people are coming into my life all the time. Agent 3, Squam, Squienna...I guess Inklinda and Squika are technically new additions as well, since they've been "recreated" in a sense. But I've noticed these three weird-looking Inklings who seem to be everywhere I go...still, I'm sure it's just coincidence.
I had a photo taken with Inklinda...I mean "Inkid"...at Arowana Mall the other day, just before my new shirt went and splatted itself (you have NO IDEA what it's like to not be able to wear a shirt or shoes, especially when you try to eat at l'Amour d'Calamar).
Amazingly, my headphones are still fine. Hopefully they don't splat as well...anyway, 'til next time!

AKA "The SquidBeatz 2 Mini-Episode"
- Spoiler:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley and Inklinda walk toward The Shoal. A few Inklings dry-heave as they look at Squigley's lack of shirt and shoes.
Inklinda: Oh, grow up, losers! He can't wear gear 'cause it keeps, like, splatting or whatever...
Inklinda's thoughts: ...which is at least 5 percent my fault...
Squigley: I hope I get over this affliction before Squilma-
Squilma's voice: Hey, Squigley!
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: Oh, fresh.
Squilma walks up to Squigley and Inklinda from behind.
Squilma: How have you...wait...why are you naked...?
Inklinda: I'm sure the readers think that's, like, Squigley's reverse-catchphrase by now or whatever...
Squigley: It's a long story.
Inklinda smiles at Squilma.
Inklinda: Hey, Squealma. How was your blechation?
Squilma: Better than your FACE, Stinklinda!
Inklinda: M-hm...whatever, honey.
Squilma smiles at Squigley.
Squilma: Hey, do you wanna play some SquidBeatz 2?
Squigley: "SquidBeatz 2"...? What's that?
Squilma and Inklinda's eyes widen.
Squilma: Are you freshing kidding me? It's the best rhythm game in Inkopolis! See?
Squigley sees Squienna playing a dancing video game next to the entrance to the Shoal.
Squigley: You mean that game Squienna's playing?
Inklinda: What? No, ew, no...just...the thought of pretending to dance is...no, ew...just...ew...
Squilma: It's the one next to it.
Squilma leads Squigley to an arcade cabinet.
Squilma: It has the hottest songs in Inkopolitan culture right now. Here, try an easy one.
Squilma chooses the song Low Tide for Squigley to try.
***
♫Low Tide
Splatune Records
Squigley attempts to match his button presses to the prompts on-screen, but he struggles to keep up with the rhythm.
***
Squigley stops and looks at Squilma and Inklinda.
Squigley: Oh well, I tried.
Inklinda: Are. You. Kidding me? That song is, like, the EASIEST to play! Ugh, you must be missing a DNA strand or something...
Squilma: Inklinda! Don't be rude!
Inklinda: M-hm...whatever, honey. Anyway, step aside and let a MASTER show you how it's done!
Squilma: Okay then...
Squilma steps aside.
Squilma: Hey, Squienna! Inklinda wants Squigley to see a SquidBeatz 2 master at work. Care to demonstrate?
Squienna steps off the dance pad and proceeds to SquidBeatz 2. She sets the machine to Hard and chooses the song Seafoam Shanty.
Inklinda: Pfft...that's SUPER easy or whatever...
Squienna begins to play.
***
♫Seafoam Shanty
Bottom Feeders
Splatune Records
Squienna effortlessly manages to match every beat with expert-level precision. Squigley is dumbfounded. Squilma folds her arms and gives Inklinda a smug look, causing Inklinda's left eye to squint.

Squigley: Squienna, that was...wow.
Squilma: I know, right?
Inklinda: What? I'm WAY better than HER!
Squilma: Care to put your cash where your mouth is, then?
Inklinda: Uh...I have to, like, buy a new Inkbrush after a CERTAIN SOMEONE destroyed mine!
Squilma: M-hm...whatever, honey.
Squigley bows to Squienna.
Squigley: Tell me your secret, Squienna-senpai!
Squienna smiles.
Squienna: Honestly, the real secret is-

Episode 6: Squigley's First Splatfest!
AKA "The Splatfest Episode"
AKA "The Splatfest Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley and Squilma walk toward Ammo Knights.
Squigley: It's so good to have you back, Squilma!
Squilma: Aw, thanks, Squiggles. I missed you during my mi-
Squilma pauses.
Squilma: Uh...my vacation. Still, it's good to be home.
Squilma sees an electric bulletin board near Ammo Knights. Details of the upcoming Salt vs. Pepper Splatfest are displayed on it.
Squilma: Ooh, a new Splatfest!
Squilma jogs up to the board.
Squilma: Hm...which team should I pick...? Hey, Squigley, which team did you choose?
Squilma looks around. Squigley is nowhere to be seen.
Squilma: Oh well...I'm pretty sure he likes salt on his chips, so...I'll deduce that he picked Team Salt.
Squilma chooses Team Salt on the board. A hatch opens underneath that dispenses a pale yellow t-shirt marked with a doodle of a salt shaker.
Squilma: Oh, wait a minute...pretty sure he likes pepper mayo on his chicken wraps...oh dear, I should've asked him first...
Squika's voice: 'Morning, my dear Squilma!
Squika slides up to Squilma and sits up, folding his tentacles together as he does so.
Squilma: Oh...hi, Squeirdo.
Squika: Ah, a new Splatfest...is there anything finer? I'm sure we'll do Team Pepper proud!
Squilma: Yeah, I suppose you're-
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma: You and Squigley both picked Team Pepper...?
Squika: Well, whilst I cannot vouch for Squigley, I can say truthfully and with confidence that I DEFINITELY chose Team Pepper. Although, our Squiggles seems to have an infatuation with Marina, so there is no doubt in my mind that he is also a backer of Team Pepper!
Squilma is stunned.
Squilma: What?! This is terrible!
Squika: Oh, wish-wash, Squilma! What could possibly be terrible on such a fine day?
Squilma: I CHOSE TEAM SALT, THAT'S WHAT!
Squika's eyes bulge.
Squika: Whaaaaat?!
Squilma: Yeah, I know...I already regret my decision...
Squika: Regret or no, you and I are SWORN ENEMIES! Good day to you!
Squika spits purple ink in Squilma's face and slides away.
Squilma: Well, THAT was weird...oh well, at least things can't get any more nuts.
Inklinda's voice: Like, hey there, Squillie!
Squilma's brows flatten.
Squilma: Fresh.
Inklinda walks up to Squilma.
Inklinda: How's my favourite loser squidkid? Wait...why are you holding that t-shirt...?
Squilma: I chose Team Salt, duh.
Inklinda's eyes bulge.
Inklinda: But...but...like...so did I or whatever!
Squilma is shocked.
Squilma: You mean...I'M ON THE SAME TEAM AS YOU?!
A food vendor calls out nearby.
Vendor: Nuts! Get your fresh nuts 'ere! We got freshly-roasted and salted nuts for your consumption!
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma's thoughts: When I said things couldn't get more nuts, I didn't mean LITERALLY...
To be Continued...
- Part 2:
- Scene 2: Ate & Switch: Afternoon
Squilma and Inklinda sit at a table in Ate & Switch. Posters of the upcoming Splatfest are hanging from the ceiling, with each one reading "15% off Swimtendo Switch games and accessories for everyone with a Splatfest Tee".
Squilma: I can't believe something like this could happen...
Inklinda: I know, right? I, like, specifically asked for DOUBLE anchovies on my deep-dish pizza!
Squilma: No, I mean the two of us being on the same team! I mean the thought of working with you fills me with a strong urge to dry-heave. Um...no offense, sweetie.
Inklinda: Like, a LOT taken or whatever, Spillma...
Inklein walks up to the table.
Inklein: Hey, Wilma!
Squilma doesn't even look at Inklein.
Squilma: Yeah, hey.
Inklein holds up a big bag.
Inklein: Check it out! I just got a big box of cardboard doohickeys for my Swimtendo Switch for only 10,000 Cash!
Inklinda: Inklein, honey, isn't that just the normal price of that kit?
Inklein: Nope, 'cause I've got a Splatfest Tee!
Squilma snickers.
Squilma: Inklein, you're supposed to be WEARING the Splatfest Tee when you pay for the thing!
Inklein: ...what?
Inklein pulls a navy blue t-shirt from his pocket and opens it up.
Inklein: I was supposed to be wearing my Team Salt tee?
Squilma: Wait...you think that that's a Team Salt Splatfest Tee?
Inklein: Well...yeah, I chose Team Salt. The blue one. The one on the right.
Squilma: Are you sure about that?
Inklein: Yeah! Inklinda wanted us to be on the same team, so she stressed that I "like, HAVE to choose Team Salt or whatever". And I'm PRETTY sure I can tell the difference between salt and pepper!
Inklinda: Oh, for the love of freshness...
Squilma looks at Inklinda.
Squilma: What is it, Inklinda?
Inklinda: Well, when Inklein and I were still squidlings, I told him it was Opposite Day, and that everything I said was the opposite of what I meant.
Squilma: So you complimented him on his intelligence, told him that blue is better than orange, stuff like that?
Inklinda: Wait...were you there?
Squilma: Well-
Inklinda: Anyway, I remember, like, mentioning I wanted salt on my super-delicious squid rings and...well...
Squilma: You picked up a salt shaker on what was supposed to be Opposite Day, and now Inklein thinks salt is pepper and vice-versa.
Inklinda: Like, YES! Wow, Squillie, you are, like, SO smart or whatever.
Squilma's brows flatten.
Squilma: Inklinda, it's not Opposite Day.
Inklinda smiles.
Inklinda: I know. You're, like, my teammate, so I HAVE to be nice or whatever.
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Oh boy...
Inklein: Wait...so...I'm NOT in Team Salt...?
Inklinda: Like, no, you're not, sweetie.
Inklein: Aw, man...
A waitress serves Squilma her meal.
Waitress: Your deep-fried lobster with deep-fried butter and deep-fried tartare sauce, ma'am.
Squilma: Thanks.
Squika slides up to the table.
Squika: Well, well, well...if it isn't three Team Salt losers!
Inklinda: Oh, great...it's the weirdo...
Squika: Get the bandages ready, because Team Pepper is gonna rub pepper in those wounds, dawgs!
Squilma: That doesn't even make sense, Squika!
Squika: Too bad, Team Salt-quilma! That's how I buttered roll with it!
Inklinda: Did he, like, lose his marbles or whatever?
Squilma: Yes, Inklinda, I think he did.
Squika: The three of you are going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN UNDER, MATES! And when you do, you'll-
Squika sees Inklein's shirt.
Squika: Wait...Inklein, you told me you chose Team Salt!
Inklein: Yeah, I did...uh...I think...
Squika chuckles.
Squika: My dear fellow, you chose Team PEPPER! That makes the two of us bears-in-arms!
Squika squid jumps onto Inklein's shoulders.
Squika: Now let us march through Inkopolis and declare our love of Team Pepper!
Squika pulls out a trumpet-shaped kazoo and begins to play it.
Inklein: Yeah, NOW we're partying!
Inklein marches away. Squilma looks at Inklinda.
Squilma: Well...at least he didn't spit ink in my face this time...
We hear a splat sound. A glob of purple ink lands on Squilma's lobster.
Squilma: Darn it, Squika!
Inklinda: Oh well, you can have some of mine. There's no WAY I can, like, eat this whole pizza or whatever.
A huge glob of blue ink lands over Inklinda and her pizza.
Squilma: The fresh...?
Inklinda giggles.
Inklinda: Oh, Inklein's taken to using a Slosher lately.
Squilma: And you're not mad?
Inklinda: Of course not! Inklein's just being Inklein, after all.
Squilma: Oh...that's, um...good?
Inklinda: Besides, I'll, like, make him pay later or whatever...heheheh...
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma's thoughts: Now THERE'S the Inklinda I know...
Scene 3: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley stands staring at the board.
Squigley: Salt...or Pepper...? I don't know which one to pick...
Squigley's thoughts: ...because I don't like either of them...
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 4: Ate & Switch: Afternoon
Squilma and Inklinda look at various Swimtendo Switch games.
Squilma: Ooh, Marina Kart 8 Deluxe is 25% off!
Inklinda: You seriously play that trash?
Squilma: Well, what do YOU play?
Inklinda: Well, right now I'm playing The Legend of Pearlda: Fresh and Wild. It's, like, the BEST one in the series!
Squilma: You're just saying that because you have a gal crush on Pearl.
Inklinda blushes.
Inklinda: Wh-What...? N-No I don't!
Squilma pulls a cheeky grin.
Squilma: Oh, right, because you LOOOOOVE Inklein!
Inklinda waves her palms at Squilma in a frenzy.
Inklinda: No, no, you've, like, got it all wrong or whatever! I-It's not like that!
Squilma: Then you can say with total honesty that you have ZERO feelings for him...?
Inklinda looks away.
Inklinda: Well...
Squilma: Ha! I KNEW it!
Inklinda: Well...if I have feelings for Inklein, then YOU have feelings for Squika or whatever!
Squilma laughs.
Squilma: You're out of your mind if you think I have feelings for THAT Squeirdo!
Inklinda: Well he's the only other guy in your life besides Inklein, so...
Squilma: No he isn't! There's Squam, and Inkroy, and-
Inklinda: Face it, Squillie. I'm, like, a romance whisperer or whatever.
Squilma: Pshyeah right!
Inklinda leans up to Squilma's left ear and whispers.
Inklinda: Romance...
Squilma: You're kidding yourself. Squika and I are not meant to be. Now let's drop it.
Inklinda: Fine...
Inklinda's thoughts: She TOTES has a crush on him, I can tell...
Squigley's voice: Hey, girls.
Squigley is standing there. Inklinda dry-heaves.
Inklinda: I will NEVER get used to your condition, Squigley...
Squigley: I checked out the board.
Squilma: And? Which team did you pick?
Squigley: Neither.
Squilma and Inklinda are shocked.
Squilma: You didn't VOTE?!
Inklinda: Like, why not or whatever?!
Squigley: I couldn't decide.
Squilma: Well, which do you like better: salt or pepper?
Squigley: Honestly, I like them both the same.
Squilma: In that case, I'll choose for you. Pick Team Salt.
Squigley: Why?
Squilma holds up her shirt.
Squilma: I'll give you three guesses.
Squigley: So you and Squika both chose salt?
Squilma: No, just me.
Squigley: What...? Squika chose pepper?!
Squilma: For some stupid reason, yes.
Squigley: But...that just makes my decision even harder!
Inklinda: I'll, like, make it easier for you, Squiggles.
Inklinda holds up her shirt.
Squigley: Well, I guess two-against-one makes it easier to choose...unless Inklein picked a peck of Team Pepper.
Inklinda: Well-
Squilma: Ssh!
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: Seriously? He chose pepper as well?
Squilma: Nice going, Stinklinda!
Inklinda: Look, it was a slip of the mouth, 'kay?
Squilma: No, it's NOT "'kay", 'kay?
Inklinda: Like...what?
Squigley: Look, I don't like salt or pepper.
Squilma: That's ridiculous, Squigley! You like salted chips and pepper mayo!
Squigley: Yes, but I don't like them as standalone seasonings! I...maybe I just shouldn't pick one!
Inklinda: Squigley, honey, you have to choose one if you want to participate in the Splatfest.
Squigley: I don't even know what a Splatfest is, so how do I know if I'll like it?
Squilma: Well, you like Turf War, right?
Squigley: Yeah...?
Squilma: Well, just think of it as the ultimate Turf War!
Inklinda: Yeah, Squiggles! ALL the best players will be there!
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Great, so it's either choose a seasoning I don't like and get splatted by the most skilled squidkids or avoid it at all costs...I think I'll go with Team Neither.
An alarm suddenly sounds throughout the store.
Voice: Could the naked Inkling in the Swimtendo Switch section please leave the premises?
Squigley frowns.
Squigley: ARGH! I can't keep up with Inkling culture! Maybe things would be better if I hadn't shown up out-of-the-blue!
Squigley storms out of the store, a number of Inklings dry-heaving as he does so. Squilma frowns at Inklinda.
Squilma: Nice going, Inklinda.
Inklinda: What? What did I, like, do or whatever...?
Squilma sighs.
Scene 5: Inkopolis Streets: Afternoon
We see Squigley stomp away from Ate & Switch in a temper. Agent 3, who is wearing normal gear including a cap and glasses, watches him.
Agent 3: Poor Squigley...he's had it rough. I know things'll get better for him, but he needs to be patient...
Agent 3's thoughts: ...just like I had to be...
Inklein marches along banging a loud drum, with Squika on his shoulders.
Squika: Team Pepper is going to whup the behinds of every Team Salt loser! All Marina haters will feel the full force of the pepper mill that is we!
Agent 3: And Squigley thinks HE has problems...
Agent 3 sighs and shakes her head.

- Scene 6: Squilma's Pad: Morning
Squilma walks into her apartment.
Squilma: I'm home!
Squilma waits for a response.
Squilma: Squigley? You there?
Squilma notices Squigley's door slightly open.
Squilma: Squigley...?
Squilma's thoughts: Please...don't let him be captured by the-
Squigley opens his door and looks at Squilma. He appears sad.
Squigley: Hey...

Squigley: Well...

A Shwaffle lands in Squigley's face.
Voice: Loser!
Squigley: Mm ff ff?! (What the fresh?!)

The scene wipes again. Squigley stands outside Deca Tower.
Squigley: Maybe I'll do a little Turf-
Squigley's chest is pelted with three softened Power Eggs.
Voice: Loser!
Squigley: Seriously, what the fresh?!
***
The scene wipes to a later flashback. Squigley stands staring at the board.
Squigley: Maybe I SHOULD choose a-
A pair of boxer shorts soiled with purple ink lands on the back of Squigley's head.
Squika's voice: LOSER!
Squigley: Darn it, Squika! What the fresh is your problem?!
***
Squilma: Wow...
Squigley: I know, right?
Squilma: I can't believe Squika could be so immature...wait...no, scratch that. It's ENTIRELY believable.
Squigley: You're missing the point.
Squilma: Which is?
Squigley: I can't show my face ANYWHERE in this city without someone throwing a Shwaffle...or a quarter-dozen Power Eggs...or even a soiled pair of undergarments.
Squilma: Ignore them. They're the REAL losers!
Squigley: Ignore-
Squigley sighs.
Squigley: How can I ignore someone throwing a Swimtendo Switch at my head?!
Squilma: Seriously? Someone threw a 47,000 Cash gadget at you?
Squigley: Yes, they did! Fortunately it missed, but...
Squilma: Well, that's the important thing.
Squigley: Also, I haven't been able to set foot inside Ate & Switch in days!
Squilma: Well, that isn't because you rejected the single most important ritual of our culture. It's just their no-shirt-shoes policy.
Squigley: Even so...
Squilma: Wait...you tried to vote, right?
Squigley: Yes, and then I was pelted by a pair of inked trunks.
Squilma: So? It's not like anyone tried to stop you from voting, right?
Squigley: But Squika-
Squilma: Squika's just weird. He'd only try to pelt you if you went to vote for Team Salt, anyway.
Squilma makes a big smile.
Squilma: Did you?!
Squigley: Yes, I did.
Squilma hugs Squigley.
Squilma: Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
Squigley: You're...ack...squeezing my-
Squilma: Oh.
Squilma lets go of Squigley.
Squilma: Sorry. You have no idea how relieved I am, Squiggles!
Squigley: Really?
Squilma: Yes! I was worried that you'd sink to Squika's freshed-up level.
Squigley: Well, I have a shred of rationality ingrained into my psyche...
Squilma laughs.
Squilma: Well, let's go and take you to vote right now!
Squilma runs to the door.
Squigley: Wait! Wh-What if Squika tries to pelt me again?
Squilma stops and turns to face Squigley, a sly grin on her face.
Squilma: You just leave Squika to me...now let's go!
Squigley: R-Right...
Squigley follows Squilma.
Scene 7: Inkopolis Square: Evening
Squigley and Squilma stand in Inkopolis Square. A crowd has gathered near Deca Tower, which has a large stage built over the entrance. Both Inklings wear Team Salt Splatfest Tees, and have pale yellow tentacles to match. Squigley wears a pair of nice-looking blue and white sneakers.
Squilma: Are you ready for the opening act?
Squigley: Opening act...?
Squilma: Yeah! Off the Hook is performing their hit single, Color Pulse!
Squigley: Sweet!
Voice: Well, well, it's nice to see you all geared-up for the Splatfest, Squidley!
Squigley and Squilma turn around. Callie and Marie approach them.
Squigley: Oh, Callie! Marie! Hi!
Squilma: Wait...Squigley...you've met the Squid Sisters?
Squigley: Yep!
Squilma: And they almost know your name?!
Callie: Of course! Squidley and I had a good long chat over near the abandoned subway just yesterday.
Marie: Even though SOME of us had better things to do...
Callie smiles at Marie.
Callie: Oh, you're just upset because you didn't hear what you wanted from my biggest fan!
Squigley blushes.
Squigley: Well...
Squilma: Wait...what happened between you two yesterday?
Callie: Oh, I'll tell you, Squilma...
Marie: What? You ALWAYS leave out key details, Callie...
***
The scene wipes to another flashback. Squigley sits on a ledge. He peels off the underwear and throws it to the ground.
Squigley: I guess I AM a loser...
Callie's voice: Hello? Is someone there?
Squigley looks up.
Squigley: Hm?
Callie and Marie walk over to Squigley.
Squigley: Oh...are you-
Callie grins.
Callie: Yep, that's us! Callie and Marie, aka the Squid Sisters!
Callie pulls her famous pose.
Callie: STAAAAAY FRESH!
Callie looks at Marie.
Callie: You didn't do the thing!
Marie: Well, he clearly knows who we are, right?
Callie pumps her fist into the air.
Callie: All the more reason to prove our authenticity!
Squigley sighs.
Callie: Aw, what's with the frowny face?
Squigley: People are making fun of me...
Marie: Maybe if you wore some gear, then...
Squigley: I've tried, believe me. Someone caused me to develop over-splatting.
Callie: Oh, our producer had that once. Lasted a whole month.
Marie: Callie, I doubt he wants to hear our life story...
Callie: What? But-
Marie: So people are teasing you because you're naked?
Squigley: Well, that and the fact that I didn't vote for a team...
Callie: You didn't vote? But...that's crazy!
Squigley: Well, I'm kind of new to Inkopolitan culture, and I don't get the whole Splatfest thing.
Marie: Oh, is that all? Callie and I used to be just like you.
Callie: Yeah, but that was EONS ago!
Marie: Exaggerating as usual...
Squigley: That's right, you're both from Calamari County, right?
Callie: What?! Who told you that?!
Marie: It's common knowledge, Callie...
Callie: Oh, right...heheheh...
Marie: Callie and I used to host Splatfests, but we've since passed that mantle onto newer, fresher talent.
Squigley: Off the Hook?
Callie: You got it! So...what's to stop you from voting?
Squigley: Well, my friends have all voted, but they're split between both teams.
Callie: Ouch. That must make your decision hard, then...
Marie: Callie and I are always on opposing teams as well.
Squigley: Really?
Callie: Oh yeah! I remember when we hosted the Oil vs. Butter Splatfest...man, I ate SO much oil-fried food to show my team spirit...
Marie: I know. You ended up with oily skin.
Callie: Anyway, I'm on Team Salt this time. Nothing better to put on fried food than a pinch of salt!
Marie: "Pinch" might be an understatement in your case...
Squigley: Well...I just don't know which team to pick...
Callie: It's entirely up to you. Just because your friends are on opposing teams, that doesn't mean you'll all stop being friends, right?
Squigley smiles.
Squigley: I guess so...
Callie: So which team do you want to pick: Salt...
Marie: ...or pepper?
***
The scene wipes back.
Squilma: So you chose Team Salt just because your favourite Squid Sister is on it?
Squigley: Well...that was PART of the reason...
Callie: And we're gonna WIN WIN WIN!
Marie: In your dreams, cousin...
Pearl calls out from on-stage.
Pearl: Is everyone ready?!
Marina: It's Off the Hook, performing LIVE in Inkopolis Square!
The crowd cheers.
Callie: You go, Pearlie! WOO!
Pearl: Okay, let's get the festivities underway with a song!
The crowd cheers.
***
♫Color Pulse
Off the Hook
Splatune Records
Callie: Man, I LOVE this song!
Marie: I must admit, the lyrics are somewhat meaningful for me personally...
Squigley: Really? I can't understand them...
Squilma: Wait...what?
Squigley: Yeah, I have trouble understanding lyrics sung in the Inkling language.
Callie: It's not about the lyrics, Squidley. It's the music! Do you enjoy the rhythm?
Squigley: Yeah...?
Callie: Then that's the important thing! Lyrics are just the optional seasoning to a good song. I remember when I first wrote Bomb Rush Blush. I focused on the music first, and then added the lyrics to match.
Marie: I did the same thing with Tide Goes Out.
Squigley: Wow, I guess I see your point. Oh, here's my favourite part!
Squigley cheers as Marina sings her solo piece.
Callie: Well, looks like Squidley has a squid-crush on a certain Octoling...
We see a view of Marina on-stage. She waves to the crowd.
Squigley's thoughts: Maybe not all Octarians are bad after all...
The three Octotroopers watch from the shadows. Octotrooper Alpha's tentacles are now of the same style as Squigley's. He speaks with a male voice.
Alpha: There he is. Let's get 'im!
Octotrooper Gamma grabs his arm.
Gamma: Are you nuts?! Wait 'til AFTER the festival!
Alpha: Nngh...fine...
Beta: Relax, you two. Soon, he will be in our grasp. Then, the REAL fun begins...heheheh...
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 8: Shifty Station: Night
Squigley, Squilma, Inklinda and Callie stand on the Team Salt spawn pad.
Callie: This is so exciting! It's been MONTHS since my last Splatfest!
Inklinda's eyes widen.
Inklinda: Wow...y-you're, like, Callie from the Squid Sisters or whatever!
Callie makes a big smile.
Callie: Yep, that's me!
Inklinda screams with excitement.
Inklinda: I LOVE Bomb Blush Rush! It's, like, my favourite song!
Callie: Oh...well, it's always nice to meet a fan!
Squigley: Wait a minute...isn't it called "Bomb Rush Blu-"
Inklinda: Do the thing! Do the thing!
Callie: With pleasure!
Callie pulls her famous pose.
Callie: "STAAAAAY FRESH!"
Inklinda squeals again.
Inklinda: You ARE her! This is, like, the best moment of my LIFE or whatever!
Squigley readies his Tentatek Splattershot.
Squigley: Okay, girls, shall we prove Squika wrong?
Squilma: You took the words out of my mouth, Squiggles!
***
Squika, Inklein, Marie and a random male Inkling stand on the Team Pepper spawn pad.
Squika: At last, the Splatfest is begun! Team Pepper will snatch victory from the saline clutches of Team Salt's salty grasp! Together, we will WIN the festival, and our names will go down in Inkopolitan legend! Squika Udon, Inklein Schminklein, Mellie Squidsister and...uh...That Guy!
Marie shakes her head.
Marie: Why am I always paired up with losers...?
Squika: Losers? That is loser talk, Mellie! Now let's defeat the losers and make them lose in the most humiliating why is That Guy running away from us?
Marie: Because the round has already started, genius!
Squika: A genius, you say? Well, I'm not one to toot my own horn...
Inklein: Except the Kazoo-y one you've been tooting!
Squika: Yes, except that one. Well, then, Mellie, let us go and-
Squika looks around. Marie is nowhere to be seen.
Squika: Where did she go...?
- Squigley's Journal - Log 37:
- Well, the Splatfest is over, and I can say with total honesty that we lost horribly...
That's not to say I didn't have fun, though: it was awesome! I had no idea that Squilma could be so competitive, though...it was like she and Inklinda were competing with each other the whole time! Needless to say that teamwork might have slipped both their minds...
Callie and I were doing most of the work. Every time I was in danger, Callie came running along with her Roller and literally steamrolled the opposition. It didn't always work, but when it did...WOW...
Oh yeah, Callie gave me a new piece of clothing to wear! She said it won't splat by itself, so I should be safe from nakedcy until my over-splatting clears up. She even offered to take a photo with her "biggest fan"!
Funny...I thought she meant Inklinda at first. Oh well...'til next time!

AKA "The Salmon Run Episode"
AKA "The Salmon Run Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Inkopolis Square: Morning
♫Inkopolis News
Off the Hook
Splatune Records
Squigley, Squilma and Squika watch the Off the Hook broadcast in Inkopolis Square.
Pearl: And now a word from our sponsor: Grizzco Industries is now hiring!
Marina: Let's work a Salmon Run shift later, Pearl!
Squigley: "Grizzco Industries?" "Salmon Run?"
Squilma: Oh, it's nothing to worry about, Squiggles.
Squigley: But-
Squilma: Trust me: the less said about Grizzco, the better. Now let's get ready for Turf War.
Squika: A jolly good idea, my dear Squilma!
Squilma: Don't "my dear Squilma" ME!!
Squika rubs his head...body...thing.
Squika: Pardon?
Squilma: I'm still mad at you about the Splatfest, you Squeirdo!
Squika: Is that all? It's not ladylike to be a sore loser, you know.
Squilma's eyes appear to ignite.
Squilma: Sore loser?! I'LL SORE LOSER YOU! COME HERE!
Squilma chases Squika away.
Squika: This is NOT how I intended to start my day!
Squigley watches his friends.
Squigley: I'd say this is weird, but it seems to be the usual load of fresh nowadays...
Scene 2: Squilma's Pad: Night
Squigley writes in his journal.
Squigley's thoughts: -and I'm just getting even more suspicious of her. I've already decided: tonight, I'm following her and finding out what she REALLY gets up to. It's a good thing I got that Squinja suit from Squika. 'Til next time! -Squigley.
Squilma walks out of her room.
Squilma: Okay, I'm off to my octaiku class!
Squigley's thoughts: Yeah right...
Squigley: Have fun!
Squilma: Will do!
Squilma leaves the apartment.
Squilma's thoughts: I'm so close to finding out his master plan...I have to keep Squigley safe no matter what...otherwise Agent 3 will "rip me a freshing new one"...
Squigley, now wearing a Squinja suit, slips out of the apartment and follows Squilma.
Scene 3: Inkopolis Square: Night
Squigley watches from the shadows as Squilma walks past Deca Tower. The entire area is still filled with Inkling activity.
Squigley: Where are you going, Squilma?
Murch: Yo, Squigley! Need your gear scrubbed?
Squigley: Murch? How did you know it was me?!
Murch: You kidding? You're the only guy I know who uses that particular deodorant!
Squigley: Oh, right...um...wait a minute...
Squigley looks for Squilma, but she seems to have disappeared.
Squigley: You didn't happen to see where Squilma went, did you?
Murch: Nope.
Squigley: Darn it.
Murch: Wait...no, I did.
Squigley: You did? Where?!
Murch: Last I saw, she was near the Judds.
Squigley: Thanks.
Murch: Don't mention it. And remember: I accept Super Sea Snails as payment!
Squigley: I'll...try to keep that in mind.
Squigley sneaks past Deca Tower and approaches Judd and Lil' Judd.
Squigley: Where is she...?
Squigley sees Judd and Lil' Judd dancing.
Squigley's thoughts: Wow, those two can REALLY bust a move...
Squigley walks past a somewhat-conspicuous drain, but fails to notice the smear of neon pink ink across the grille. He sees the entrance to a shady-looking building.
Squigley: She must have went in there...
Squigley approaches the building and enters. Squika watches him from a distance.
Squika: Wow, even Squinjas work at Grizzco...I want to try it, too!
Squika squid-jumps to the entrance and slides inside. Agent 3, in normal gear, watches them. She pulls out a walkie-talkie.
Agent 3: Agent 1? Come in. Over!
Agent 3 waits for a response.
"Agent 1": ¡ǝɹǝɥ Ɩ ʇuǝƃ∀ 'uɐǝɯ I -ɐƆ ¡ʎll∀ 'ʎǝH
Agent 3: Are you holding the walkie-talkie upside-down again?!
"Agent 1": ˙˙˙puoɔǝs ɐ uo ploɥ˙˙˙ɥO ¿ʇɐɥM
Agent 3 sighs.
"Agent 1": Is that any better?
Agent 3: Yes, much, thank you.
"Agent 1": So what's up?
Agent 3: The human is up the waterfall.
"Agent 1": Um...pardon?
Agent 3: The monkey is hunting for roe.
"Agent 1": I...still don't follow.
Agent 3 sighs.
Agent 3: Squigley is at Grizzco.
"Agent 1": What?! Why would he go there?!
Agent 3: I don't know!
"Agent 1": Isn't Agent 4 supposed to be keeping him away from anything dangerous?!
Agent 3: Yes, but she's currently in Octo Canyon trying to stop You-Know-Who.
"Agent 1": You mean Volde-
Agent 3: Of course not!
"Agent 1": Oh, right...well, I'll tell Agent 4 right away!
Agent 3: Please do. Agent 3 out!
Agent 3 lowers her walkie-talkie.
"Agent 1": ¡dlǝɥ ɹnoʎ spǝǝu ʎǝlpᴉnbS ¿ɐɯlᴉnbS
Agent 3 sighs.
Agent 3: It's still me, Callie! And your walkie-talkie is upside-down again!
Agent 3 pauses.
"Agent 1": Roger that, Agent 3! Agent 1 out!
Agent 3 clicks off her walkie-talkie.
Agent 3: I'm sure the Cap'n has a good reason for hiring his granddaughters...and it must be a good one...
To be Continued...
- Part 2:
- Scene 4: Grizzco Industries: Night
Squigley, Squika and two other Inklings stand inside a sketchy-looking room. In front of them is what resembles a bear statue.
Squika: I cannot believe you convinced me to do this, Squigley...
Squigley: M-Me...? What did I do?!
Squika: I...just told you.
Squigley: No, I mean...how did I convince you?
Squika: Oh, well, it's quite simple.
Squigley waits for a response.
Squigley: Care to explain?
Squika: Well, you entered this building wearing a Squinja suit, so naturally I-
The scene zooms into Squigley's head.
***
We see what appears to be a vision. Squigley is standing in a dark room surrounded by a group of eight shadowy figures, as well as what looks to be three Octotroopers. A large, shadowy octopus with a samurai helmet laughs evilly.
Octopus: There is no escape, gaijin!
The scene flashes, revealing Squigley inside some sort of tube that fills with greenish liquid.
Octopus: Now, let the party begin!
The octopus scratches two turntables with enormous sprigs of wasabi. We hear giggling coming from the tube.
***
The scene zooms out of Squigley's mind.
Squika: -and that is why I will do anything that I see a Squinja do!
Squigley: Whoa...that was...what the fresh just happened...?
Squika: We were changed into the standard Grizzco uniforms.
The scene zooms out to reveal all four Inklings in fish-gutting attire.
Squigley: When did THAT happen?!
A voice seems to come from the bear statue as it shakes and wobbles.
Statue: Welcome, recruits! You have all chosen to take part in the hottest part-time job in the city: Salmon Run!
Squigley: No I didn't...
Squika: Doody.
One of the other Inklings looks at Squika.
Inkling: Do you mean "ditto"?
Squika: No, Squarka, I do NOT mean "ditto"! I mean that this is all a load of doody!
Statue: Yes, yes, very nice...now, I'm your boss, Mr. Grizz, but you can call me Mr. Grizz.
Squarka raises his hand.
Squarka: I'm guessing that you're not actually a statue, right?
Mr. Grizz laughs...apparently.
Mr. Grizz: That's for me to know and you to guess, Squawka!
Squarka: Actually, it's...Squarka. "SKWAH-kuh".
Mr. Grizz: Yes, yes, whatever, Squawka. Anyway, you will now receive the standard issue Grizzco training manual.
Scene 5: Spawning Grounds: Dawn
Squigley, Squika, Squarka and the other Inkling are all aboard a boat near a dreary-looking island.
Squigley: Wait...what about the training...?
Squika: Squigley, you were supposed to read the Grizzco training manual on the way here!
Squigley: But...I didn't get one!
Squika: Really?
Squarka: But...I saw you put it in your pocket...
Squigley: Hm?
Squigley pulls a three-page leaflet from his pocket.
Squigley: You mean this is the manual...?
Squika: Well, of course! What else could it have been?
Squigley: I thought it was an ad for Grizzco!
Squigley begins to panic.
Squigley: I can't go out there without the proper training!
Squarka: Hey, hey, relax, Squigley. Squika, this random extra and I have your back.
Squika: Agreed! We will help you.
The other Inkling opens her mouth to speak just as we cut to the next scene.
Scene 6: Inkopolis Square: Dawn
Squilma emerges from the drain in squid form, before changing back to kid form. She looks worried.
Squilma: I can't believe something like this could happen!
Squilma runs up to a blacked-out window next to the entrance to Grizzco.
Squilma: I need to get my friend out of your building right now!
Voice: (trumpet sounds)
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: What do you mean the boat's already left?!
Voice: (trumpet sounds)
Squilma: Now, you listen here! I'm on official business from the New Squidbeak Splatoon, and I DEMAND you call back the boat this minute!
Voice: (trumpet sounds)
Squilma growls.
Squilma: You're all HOPELESS, the whole freshing LOT of you! This isn't over!
Squilma stomps away, pulling out her walkie-talkie.
Squilma: Agent 4 here. The boat has left for the Spawning Grounds.
"Agent 1": ¡ǝpoɔ uᴉ sʞɐǝds ƎHS uǝɥʍ ʎll∀ ƃuᴉpuɐʇsɹǝpun ǝlqnoɹʇ ɥƃnouǝ ǝʌɐɥ I ¡ɐɯlᴉnbS 'uo ǝɯoƆ
Squilma: And I have trouble understanding YOU when you hold your walkie-talkie upside-down, Agent 1!
"Agent 1": ˙˙˙ɔǝs ǝuo˙˙˙ʎɹɹos 'ɥO
Squilma waits for a response.
"Agent 1": Not to worry. Agents 2 and 3 are on their way!
Squilma: Thanks. Over and out!
"Agent 1": And a very good over and out to you too!
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: No, Callie, I just ended the transmission.
"Agent 1": Oh, right. Sorry.
Squilma switches off her walkie-talkie.
Squilma: Honestly...sometimes I can't even...
Scene 7: Spawning Grounds: Dawn
Squigley, Squika, Squarka and the other Inkling stand on what resembles a spawn pad. A large, high-tech basket pops up nearby.
Mr. Grizz's voice: Basket's ready. Now harvest me up some delectable Golden Eggs!
Squigley: "Golden Eggs"...?
Squika: You would know about Golden Eggs if you bothered to read the manual, my dear fellow.
Squarka: Come on, Squika, don't be so hard on him!
Squika: Oh...my sincerest apologies. Now, when is the first wave due to start?
The other Inkling opens her mouth to speak just as a loud horn sounds out.
Squarka: THEY'RE COMING!
Squigley: What's coming...?
Everyone but Squigley runs to the water. Squigley looks at his Roller, before running after the others.
Squigley: Wait up! What's the ru-
Suddenly, a group of grotesque-looking fish monsters runs toward Squigley.
Squigley: ...THE FRESH ARE THOSE THINGS?!
To be Continued...
- Part 3:
- Scene 8: Inkopolis Square: Dawn
Squilma stands near Grizzco.
Squilma's thoughts: Where ARE you, Ally...?
A voice comes through Squilma's walkie-talkie.
Agent 3: Agent 4? Come in! Over!
Squilma raises her walkie-talkie.
Squilma: Agent 4 here! What's the sitch?
Agent 3: Well, Agent 2 managed to hack into the Salmon Run comms.
Squilma: Really?! Wait...since when is Marie good at using gadgets...?
Agent 3: Not the point. Now, I can patch you through, but...
Squilma: But what?
Agent 3: You're not gonna like it.
Squilma: Don't care. Patch me through. NOW!
Agent 3: Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you...
A brief second of static is heard.
Squigley: AAH! They're everywhere!
Squilma gasps.
Squilma: Squigley!
Squarka: Relax, Squigley. You're not alone.
Squigley: Why won't anyone tell me what these things are?!
Squika: For the eighth time, these are Salmonids.
Squigley: And what's a Salmonid?!
Squika: Are you quipping? These creatures that have us completely outnumbered are Salmonids!
Squigley: Well they're freaking me out! AAH! SNAKE! SNAKE!
We hear another second of static.
Squilma: Wait...what's a snake?
Agent 3: Again, not the point.
Squilma: We...we have to save him!
Agent 3: And we will. Or rather, WE will.
Squilma: Uh...that's what I said.
Agent 3: Not you. The rest of us are near the Spawning Grounds, so we're making a sealine there.
Squilma: But...what about me?!
Agent 3: You're needed in Octo Canyon, remember?
Squilma: But-
Agent 3: WHEN we save Squigley, he's going to need you to save him from You-Know-Who.
Squilma: You mean Volde-
Agent 3: No! Why does everyone keep saying that?!
Squilma: Well, you make it so easy, Ally...
Agent 3: So you're just messing with me?
Squilma: Maybe...
We hear a slapping sound.
Squilma: What was that?
Agent 3: Just the sound of my hand slapping someone's face.
Squilma: What?! Why would you slap Callie?!
Agent 3: No, I slapped my OWN face, Squilma.
Squilma: Why?
Agent 3: Ever heard of the common facepalm?
Squilma: Ally, they're called "barnacles", not facepalms.
Agent 3: Okay, I'm leaving before Squigley gets into some REAL trouble.
Squilma: Oh, right. Please...save him.
Agent 3: I'll try. No promises, though.
Squilma: WHAT?!
Agent 3: Agent 3, over-and-out!
Squilma: No, Agent-
Squilma's walkie-talkie clicks off.
Squilma: What did she mean by "no promises"?!
Scene 9: Spawning Grounds: Dawn
Squigley is cowering in a corner.
Squigley: This isn't happening this isn't happening this isn't-
Squika's voice: Squigley! The random extra could use your help!
Squigley: But I'm nowhere near-
Squigley sees the random extra standing eight feet from his location.
Squigley: Oh.
Squika's voice: So get over your apparent fear of fish and help her!
Squigley: Yes, Mother...
The extra is surrounded by Chums. Squigley comes charging through with his roller and steamrolls them. A bunch of Power Eggs fly into his bag.
Squigley: Wait...Power Eggs?
Squarka's voice: Of course!
Squigley: But I thought we were harvesting Golden Eggs. These are orange! I mean...is Mr. Grizz colour blind or something?!
Squika's voice: Squigley, he's a statue...I think. And if you don't do what he says, he'll touch you and send you back in time!
Squigley: That's ridiculous.
Squika's voice: Okay, then he'll dock your pay! Is that any more believable?
Squigley: Yes, it-
Squigley is suddenly splatted by a group of Chums charging through, leaving smears of vile green liquid in their wake.
Squika's voice: Yes it what? Why did you suddenly stop talking, Squigley?!
Squigley's life preserver falls to the ground.
Squika's voice: You're being unusually quiet, Squigley...
Squigley's ghost suddenly appears in the life preserver. Squigley speaks with a squeaky voice.
Squigley: Oh, fresh...
Squika squid jumps next to Squigley. He is shocked.
Squika: Squigley! Oh no...you've been splatted! What do I do?!
Squarka's voice: You have to ink Squigley! It's the only way to save him!
Squika: And leave squid form? Out of the question!
Squarka's voice: Squika, you have to!
Squika growls.
Squika: Oh, very well. Squigley, close your eyes!
Squigley: But I'm a ghost! I CAN'T close them!
Squika: Then look away!
Squigley: Fine...
Squigley looks away. We see a squirt of orange ink land in Squigley's life preserver, restoring him. Squigley turns around. Squika is back in squid form.
Squigley: Thanks, Squika.
Squika: You are most welcome, Squi-
Suddenly, a large eel-like machine ploughs through Squika, splatting him. Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: IT'S THE SNAKE! AND IT ATE SQUIKA!
Squigley cowers for a brief second. Suddenly, his eyes seem to ignite, and he growls.
Squigley: Stupid snake! I'LL SPLAT YOU FOR THIS!
Squigley looks for a weak point. He sees a Salmonid at the tip of its tail.
Squigley: Oh, so a Salmonid is piloting you from its butt, eh? Heheheh...
Squigley runs to the back of the eel and repeatedly slaps the Salmonid with his Roller. The Salmonid bursts, releasing a splat of orange ink, and the entire eel dismantles.
Squigley: THAT'S for Squika!
A trio of large, round eggs plops to the ground. They are golden-yellow in colour. Squigley picks up one of them.
Squigley: Ooh, this must be a Golden Egg.
We hear a squeaky voice from nearby.
Squika's voice: YAY!
Squigley puts the Golden Egg into a mesh bag. He begins to sob.
Squigley: Poor Squika...
Squika's voice: Um...Squigley?
Squigley: I can almost hear his voice...
Squika's voice: Squigley? A little assistance, if you please?
Squigley: If only there was a way I could-
We hear a splatting sound. Squika slides up to Squigley.
Squika: Hm-hm.
Squigley: Squika...? You're okay!
Squika: Yes. Yes I am. And I ended up needing to be saved by A RANDOM EXTRA!
Squigley: Oh, right...sorry...
Squika seems to smile.
Squika: It's quite alright, my good fellow! Now, what's say we finish our shift?
Squigley: Sure thing!
Squika: Good, then let us-
Suddenly, an enormous tower rises from the water. A beacon at the top aims for Squigley and Squika.
Squigley: ...the fresh?!
Squika: I suggest we run away.
Squigley: I second that idea.
Suddenly, a jet of green liquid launches at the two Inklings.
Squigley: SWIM AWAY!
Squigley changes into squid form and leaps into the orange ink, followed by Squika.
Scene 10: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
The octopus watches anime on a monitor.
Octopus: HAHAHAHAHA! Now THAT'S funny! Now, let's see what my little experiment is doing right now...
The screen changes, revealing Squigley swimming away from the beam of green goop.
Octopus: What?! That's terrible! S-Someone has to help him! I know! I'll get that Agent 4 chick to help him! Now, where could she be...?
Scene 11: Octo Canyon: Dawn
We see Squilma in a yellow Hero suit. She is standing outside a metal fortress in the middle of a lake of pinkish-purple ink.
Squilma: It's time to put a stop to you once and for all, you Octarian scum...
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 12: Spawning Grounds: Dawn
Squigley and Squika each deposit one Golden Egg into the basket.
Squigley: I think I'm finally getting the hang of-
Squigley sees a group of tiny Salmonids make their way toward him.
Squigley: AAH! GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!
Squika rolls his eyes.
Squika: Yeah...you REALLY have the gist of it...
Squarka's voice: Squika! Please don't be rude to him!
Squarka is suddenly standing there. He splats the tiny Salmonids with his Flingza Roller.
Squika: AAH! GET IT AWAY FROM-
Squika calms down.
Squika: Oh, it's only you, Squarka. PLEASE don't scare me like that!
Squigley: What? Squarka's not scary! He's one of the nicest guys I know.
Squarka: Aw, thanks, Squiggles...
Squigley's thoughts: Squiggles...that's what Squilma calls me...wait a minute...
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Why wasn't Squilma at Grizzco?!
Squika: Why would she be?
Squigley: Because I saw her heading in the direction of Grizzco last night!
Squika: Well, she isn't here, so you are clearly mistaken, my dear fellow.
Squarka: No, I saw her heading there too...
Squigley looks at Squarka.
Squigley: You did?
Squarka: Sure. I just entered Grizzco for my usual shift-
Squika: Wait...you mean you actually do this job for a living? Why?!
Squarka: Not the point. Anyway, I saw her just outside, heading toward the building.
Squigley: Then where did she go?
Squarka: I didn't see.
Squika: Typical Squarka behaviour.
The random extra slaps the back of Squika's head...body...thing.
Squika: Ouch!
Squarka: I looked away for a split second, and then she was gone.
Squigley: Well...where was the last place you saw her?
Squarka: Oh, near the drain just past Ammo Knights.
Squika: There's a drain near Ammo Knights?
Squarka: Well...yes, there is. It's not hard to miss.
Squigley: Well, I haven't noticed it.
Squika: To be fair, you've only lived in Inkopolis for nearly 8 weeks.
Extra: So what's your excuse, Squika?
Squika scowls at the extra.
Squika: HEY! No-one said you could say any lines!
The extra shrugs.
Extra: Don't care. I do what I like.
Squika: Great, now the producers have to give you a cut of our paycheques...
The extra smirks.
Squigley: Okay, as soon as we get back to Inkopolis, I'm going into the drain!
Squika: Ew, that's disgusting!
Squigley: Why?
Squika: CLEARLY it's a sewer drain!
Squigley: Maybe...but maybe not.
Squika folds his tentacles together.
Squika: Well, you can be assured that I will NOT be joining you in your disgusting endeavour!
Extra: I didn't hear him invite you.
Squika: WILL YOU STOP SAYING LINES ALREADY?!
Extra: Make me.
Squika: That is IT! I am not going to stand idly by while you-
Suddenly, an enormous Salmonid bursts out of the ground and chomps the extra, causing her to splat. Her life preserver lands nearby, her ghost floating around inside it. Squika dusts his tentacles.
Squika: Well...that takes care of THAT problem.
Squarka: Squika!
Squika: Oh, very well. Proceed.
Squarka inks the extra with his Flingza Roller. She revives instantly.
Squigley: Wait...why were we BOTH loaned Rollers?
Squarka: Oh, I've worked this job for so long that Mr. Grizz lets me use my personal weapon of choice during every shift.
Squika: Really? So YOU get to use your main weapon whilst the rest of us are stuck with horrible pieces of junk that we can barely use?!
Squigley: What? Squika, you're using a Splattershot Jr.
Squika: So?
Squigley: Don't you main a Splattershot Jr. in Turf War?
Squika: Oh, right...yes, I see your point.
Squarka: And you're always in squid form, so it's not like you actually USE it in Turf War.
Squika: And how would you know? You're always doing THIS disgusting job! When is our shift finishing, anyway? It's taking too long!
A horn sounds out.
Squika: YES! Finally, we can leave this awful island and return home!
Mr. Grizz's voice: Come to papa, little eggs. Now bring me more!
Squika: More...?
Squarka: Squika, this was only the first wave.
Squika: Whaaaaat...?
Squarka: Yeah, there are still two more to go.
Extra: Assuming we all survive them.
Squika: WHAT?!
Squika inks himself.
Squarka: Ew.
Squika: Look what you made me do in front of my dear friends, random extra I barely know!
Scene 13: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
Squilma sneaks into the lair of the octopus, who appears to be using an enormous cellphone shaped like an octopus.
Octopus: An 8-second message...? What kind of Inkling keeps her squidphone switched off?!
Squilma: THIS Inkling!
Squilma leaps into view.
Octopus: So, you've totally infiltrated my lair...again. This time, there will be NO-
The octopus pauses.
Octopus: No, wait...I actually need you alive for this one.
Squilma: DJ Octavio, prepare to be re-imprisoned inside-
Squilma's left eye squints.
Squilma: Wait...you're not gonna try and stop me?
The octopus shakes its head...body...thing.
DJ Octavio: Nuh, bruh! I need your help with somethin'!
Squilma's left eye squints even narrower.
Squilma: Wait...are you freshing serious?
DJ Octavio: Yeah! You know that dweeb who always hangs around near you?
Squilma: You mean Squigley? The Inkling who you want for some mysterious purpose that I intend to find out?
DJ Octavio: Yeah, him. He's being attacked by Salmonids right now.
Squilma: I know.
DJ Octavio: Well, it's true, I swe-
DJ Octavio pauses.
DJ Octavio: Oh...you know? Well...good. Anyway, he needs to be saved.
Squilma: Not to worry. Agent 3 is on her way to help.
DJ Octavio: Agent 3...is that the one who messed up my plans over a year ago?
Squilma: Yeah, that's her.
DJ Octavio: Her?! I thought she was a dude!
Squilma: Um...what?
DJ Octavio: Yeah, bruh! I was told that most Inklings with tentacles that look like hers are dudes!
Squilma: You...are beyond ridiculous.
DJ Octavio: Well, if he-
Squilma: "She"!
DJ Octavio: -SHE is gonna help him, then I don't need you.
Squilma: Oh...um...that's...a little hurtful, actually.
DJ Octavio: So run along and do whatever it is squidkids do.
Squilma: Oh...okay then. Um...later.
DJ Octavio: Buh-bye!
Scene 14: Octo Canyon: Dawn
We see a view of the outside of the fortress.
DJ Octavio: Oh, and do visit again, won't you?
Squilma: Yeah, sure. Bye.
DJ Octavio waves a tentacle, before slamming the door shut. Squilma begins walking away. After a few seconds, her eyes widen.
Squilma: Hey, wait a minute!
To be Continued...
- Part 5:
- Scene 16: Spawning Grounds: Dawn
Squigley, Squika, Squarka and the extra are surrounded by a group of Salmonids.
Squika: "It's the third wave", you said! "Nothing can go wrong now", you said! Squarka, please do me a favour and STOP SAYING THINGS!
Squarka: What? Why?
Squika: You're a cameo character! I mean, you've already had more than double the screen time that Squam and Squienna each had! That's not exactly fair on them, is it?
Extra: Well, to be fair, Squam and Squienna are getting their own Squidkid Shorts, whereas Squarka isn't.
Squika: Nobody asked you, random extra who keeps reducing my paycheque!
Extra: Whatever...
Squigley: This isn't looking good! If only someone would come along and save us!
Squigley looks around. Squika, Squarka and the extra stare at him.
Squigley: Well it was worth a try...
Squika: You know nothing about plot progression, do you, my dear fellow?
Squigley: What do you mean?
Squika: Well, this is real life, and things don't magically happen in real life just because you will them to be so!
Suddenly, the Salmonids are picked off by a number of carefully aimed Splat Charger shots.
Squika: What the freshness?!
Extra: Don't give up your day job, Squidiot...
Squika: I'll have you know that I am a student...you...um...imbecidiot!
Extra: Ooh, nice comeback.
Squika: Are...are you being sarcastic?!
Squika pauses.
Squika: No, I really want to know. Sarcasm and I are not the best of chums.
A Chum suddenly latches onto Squika's head...body...thing.
Squika: AAH!
Squarka smiles.
Squarka: Aw...it looks like this Chum wants to be your chum.
Squika: SOMEONE PLEASE SPLAT THIS THI-
The Chum is suddenly sniped.
Squika: Okay, from whence are these shots being fired?!
Agent 3 leaps into the area.
Squigley: Agent 3!
Agent 3: Sorry for my tardiness. Marie was going by Callie's directions, and she was holding the map upside-down.
Squika: Typical Callie behaviour...
The extra slaps the back of Squika's head...body...thing.
Squika: Ouch! Will you stop doing that?!
Extra: Stop what? Slapping you or talking?
Squika: Oh...don't make me choose!
Extra: Fine, I'll make this easy for you.
The extra grabs Squika's tentacle and repeatedly slaps him with it.
Extra: "Oh, I'm Squika. I'm a condescending, stuck-up weirdo who looks down on people who aren't main characters or on my Splatfest team. Oh, wish-wash, squit-squat, blah blah blah..."
Squika: STOP IT! STOP IT I SAY!
Agent 3's left eye squints.
Agent 3: Let's get you out of here before things get even weirder...
Squigley's entire uniform suddenly splats, sending orange ink everywhere. The extra dry-heaves.
Squigley: Oops...sorry.
Extra: That was not pleasant...
Squika: Karma's a beach, is it not?
Agent 3: Oh yeah, the Karma Coast. I went there on vacation when I was younger.
Squika: Wait...seriously?
Squika notices what appears to be Squigley standing on the opposite side of the island. He appears to be wearing his original gear. Squika looks at Squigley.
Squika: Squigley, did you see-
Squika looks to see where the other Squigley was standing. He is nowhere to be seen.
Squika: He's gone...
Agent 3: Who's gone?
Squika: Squigley! He's vanished!
Squigley waves.
Squigley: Um...Squika? Standing right here...
Squika: Not you! Another Squigley!
Squarka: You've been bitten by a Chum...and repeatedly slapped with your own tentacle. Are you sure it wasn't a concussion-triggered hallucination?
Squika: Don't be ridiculous! I'm not concu-
Squika suddenly falls over.
Squika: Actually, I am a LITTLE dizzy...
Agent 3: Then let's get you all out of here!
Scene 17: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley walks toward the drain. He looks into it.
Squigley's thoughts: This must be the drain...
Squigley: Well...here goes nothing...
Squigley takes a step toward the drain.
Squilma's voice: Squiggles!
Squilma suddenly latches onto Squigley.
Squigley: Squilma...ack...you're squeezing my-
Squilma: Oh...sorry.
Squilma lets go of Squigley.
Squilma: You had me so worried! Why did you go to Grizzco?!
Squigley: I didn't mean to! It was an accident!
Squilma: An accident...? How does anyone ACCIDENTALLY walk into a shady-looking building?
Squigley: I was looking for you!
Squilma: M-Me? Why would you-
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma's thoughts: Surely he doesn't know about...
Squigley: Don't worry, though. I was fired from my job.
Squilma: What? It's not like Mr. Grizz to fire an employee...
Squigley: Well, it was necessary in my case. Apparently, destroying your uniform results in immediate sacking.
Squilma giggles.
Squilma: Fair enough. Come on, Squigley. Let's get you something to eat.
Squigley: Oh...okay then.
Squigley and Squilma walk past Inklinda and Inklein. Inklinda dry-heaves.
Inklinda: Totes disgusto...
Inklein: Hey, Lindie...you ever get the feeling that you've been absent from something?
Inklinda: Not really. Why do you ask?
Inklein: No reason...
Scene 18: Octo Canyon: Morning
Octotroopers Alpha, Beta and Gamma sit outside the fortress. They are back in their original forms.
Alpha: (Wait'll the boss hears what we found out!)
Beta: (I know, right? This Squigley dweeb wasn't always an Inkling!)
Gamma: (AND he's not even from this place! You know what this means, right?)
Alpha: (Party time!)
All: (YEAH!)
The three Octotroopers enter the fortress. The door slams shut.
- Squigley's Journal - Log 56:
- Well, I've finally gotten over the trauma of doing Salmon Run, so it's time to deal with my OTHER problem. I've been having weird visions this past week or so, and they're freaking me out!
The same thing always happens in them: I'm in a room surrounded by what I think are Octarians, then I end up in a tube of green goop that feels kind of like Flow's frills...ew...anyway, I then feel a weird energy that makes me giggle uncontrollably. Then there's a flash, and...the vision's over.
I haven't told anyone yet, but maybe Squilma should know. Then again, she keeps disappearing all the time, so she could very well be in league with the Octarians. It seems like the only person I can trust is Agent 3, because I KNOW she's looking out for me. She even let me take a photo with her, which I'm putting right here in my journal:
Oh, before I go, my over-splatting finally cleared up! Hooray! 'Til next time!
-Squigley

This is a message for Squigley. If you read this, DO NOT go to Octo Canyon on the night of the next full moon! Please, take this warning seriously!

Episode 8: Transform-ink-tion!
AKA "The Octo Canyon Episode"
AKA "The Octo Canyon Episode"
- Part 1:
- Scene 1: Squilma's Pad: Night
We see a view of Squigley asleep in bed. He is tossing and turning. The scene zooms into his mind.
***
We see the vision from the previous episode. Squigley is inside the tube.
Squigley: Please! Why are you doing this?!
DJ Octavio: Because I want YOU, Psy-pod!
The tube fills with liquid.
DJ Octavio: Now, let's PARTY!
We hear giggling coming from the tube.
Squigley: STOP! THAT TICKLES! HEEHEEHEE!
We see a brief flash of a full moon in a magenta-tinged night sky, followed by a flash of the tube starting to open, and finishing with a flash of a silhouette of what vaguely resembles a humanoid form, its eyes pulsing with red light.
Silhouette: TAKO! (OCTO!)
***
Squigley suddenly sits up in his bed, panting heavily.
Squigley: That was intense...
Squigley looks out his window. The moon is nearly full.
Squigley: ...but what does it all mean...?
Scene 2: Inkopolis Square: Morning
Squigley sits at a table near The Crust Bucket. He is picking at a Shwaffle with a fork. Squigley groans.
Inklinda's voice: 'Morning, Squiggles.
Inklinda and Inklein walk up to Squigley.
Squigley: Oh...yeah, morning.
Inklinda: Are you, like, okay? You look like you've been ploughed by a Dynamo Roller or whatever.
Squigley: I didn't sleep well last night...
Inklein: What's a "sleep well"? Is it a hole filled with woolly mammals?
Inklinda: Inklein, honey, mammals are a myth.
Inklein scratches his head.
Inklein: Oh, right...
Squigley: I've been having visions...and now nightmares, apparently...
Inklinda's eyes widen.
Inklinda: Wait...visions?!
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: You mean you believe me?!
Inklinda: Well, of course! Squilma DOES have them from time-to-time, right?
Squigley: She does?
Inklinda's left eye squints.
Inklinda: Wait...she didn't tell you?
Inklein: I think it's obvious that Squilma has vision. I mean, when was the last time you saw her wearing glasses?
Inklinda facepalms.
Inklinda: Not "vision", sweetie. "Visions".
Inklein stares blankly at Inklinda.
Inklein: So she has two sets of eyes?
Inklinda sighs and looks at Squigley.
Inklinda: If what you say is true, and you're, like, actually having visions yourself...
Squigley: What, is there an oracle or something I can see?
Inklein: Wait...Squigley needs to see a mouth doctor...?
Inklinda growls.
Inklinda: Honestly, sometimes I don't know how I put up with you, Inkle-butt...
Squigley: Well, who do I see about my visions?
Inklinda: I'll give you one hint: Headspace.
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley's thoughts: Oh no...
Scene 3: Headspace: Morning
Squigley, Inklinda and Inklein stand in Headspace.
Flow: Psyphalopod.
Inklein: Gesundheit.
Craymond: DUMDUM!
Squigley: What's a "SY-fa-lo-pod"...?
Flow: An Inkling with extraordinary mental abilities.
Craymond: YOU AM SPECIAL!
Inklinda: Most of us just call them "Psy-pods" for short.
Inklein: They're supposed to be good musicians.
Inklinda: No, you're thinking of "magicians", sweetie.
Flow: Yes, Psyphalopods are extraordinary beings, to be sure...
Craymond: MAGIC MUSSEL!
Squigley: They sort of sound like psychics...
Inklinda: "Psy...kicks"...?
Squigley: Yeah, like a human with psychic powers.
Inklinda: Squigley, humans are a myth, just like mammals.
Inklein: Technically, humans ARE mammals, Lindie...
Everyone stares at Inklein.
Inklein: What?
Inklinda: Inklein...you ACTUALLY said something intelligent or whatever. I guess those classes at Shellendorf are finally starting to pay off.
Inklein is chuffed.
Inklein: Well, I DID get a C+ on my matharoni exam...
Inklinda sighs.
Inklinda: Never mind...
Flow: Psyphalopods are indeed magnificent Inklings, on-par with Octechnopaths amongst Octarians, although the former are almost-always females.
Craymond: YOU AM RARE!
Inklein: Well, THAT'S sexist...
Squigley: So...I'm exceptional, then?
Flow: Oh, very much so.
Squigley: Wow...
Inklinda: Don't let it go to your head, Squiggles.
Squigley chuckles.
Squigley: I'll try to keep that...IN MIND.
Inklinda sighs.
Inklinda: Honestly...
To be Continued...
- Part 2:
- Scene 4: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
DJ Octavio watches Squigley enter Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe on a monitor.
DJ Octavio: It's Tidemoon Eve...the night I turn that squidkid over to MY side!
Beta: (But what if he doesn't come?)
DJ Octavio: Oh, he'll come, bruh! And to make sure he does...
A hatch opens on the far side of the room. A group of eight shadowy figures walks through the hatch in a semi-seductive manner. Their eyes seem to pulse with red light.
DJ Octavio: My elite troops, the Octopus Amazons.
Beta: (I know. You already tried that tactic on that Agent 3 person, didn't you?)
DJ Octavio: Yeah, but this time it'll be different, bruh!
Beta: (How so?)
DJ Octavio: Well, Squigley's a dude, isn't he?
Beta: (Wait...the reason you chose Agent 3 originally was because you thought she was a male?)
DJ Octavio: That's ridiculous! Of COURSE I can tell the difference between a squidkid and a snail!
Octotrooper Beta gurgles.
Beta: (Ladies and gentlemen, the genius leader of the Octarian forces...)
Scene 5: Inkopolis Square: Afternoon
Squigley leaves Headspace. He is wearing a replacement of his original outfit.
Squigley: Ah...I feel like myself again...
Squigley looks around. A Jellyfish floats in mid-air nearby.
Squigley: Wait...since when can Jellyfish float...?
Squigley scratches his head. The Jellyfish suddenly plops to the ground.
Squigley: Um...now I'm just confused...
Squilma walks up to Squigley.
Squilma: Hi, Squiggles!
Squigley: Why, hello, fellow Psy-pod!
Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Since when are you a Psy-pod?!
Squigley: Since I started having visions, apparently...
Squilma: You've been having WHAT?!
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: I...just told you...?
Squilma: Well...what sort of visions are they?
Squigley: Oh, just ones about the full moon, tickling green slime and a huge octopus.
Squilma: WHAT?!
Squigley: I'm sure it's nothing, though.
Squilma: Squigley, you need to take this whole thing more seriously! You can't just go around levitating random people on the street!
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: You mean...I was the one making that Jellyfish float?!
Squilma: Well, obviously! Do you SEE any other female Inklings in the plaza right now?
Squigley looks around. Every Inkling in view besides Squilma is male.
Squigley: Now that you mention it...
Squilma: Anyway, Squika sent me here to find you. He's setting up a big Tidemoon Eve party for you.
Squigley: But I thought Squika wasn't actually supposed to be IN this episode...
Squilma: Well, no, but he's still being mentioned as though he IS here.
Squigley: Oh, right...
Squilma: Also, you shouldn't break the fourth wall.
Squigley: But the author, upon whom I'm based, is ALWAYS putting fourth-wall demolitions into his writing!
Squilma: There you go again! Can't you follow the script like anyone else?!
Squigley: I suppose...
Squilma: Good. Now come on, Squika's waiting.
Squigley's thoughts: According to the SCRIPT, he is...
Squigley and Squilma begin to walk away.
Squigley: You know, you technically broke the fourth wall as well, right?
Squilma: Yes, but I've had more experience as a character...well, canonically speaking, of course.
Squigley: Fair enough.
The scene suddenly zooms into Squigley's mind.
***
We see a view of Squilma inside DJ Octavio's fortress. She is wearing a yellow Hero Suit. Squilma's eyes widen.
Squilma: Squigley...I'm too late...
DJ Octavio: You're too late, Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon!
Squilma rolls her eyes.
Squilma: Really? I never would've guessed...
We cut to a view of the silhouette from Squigley's dream.
Silhouette: HAJIMEMASHITE! (NICE TO MEET YOU!)
***
The scene zooms out of Squigley's mind.
Squigley: Whoa...
Squilma looks at Squigley.
Squilma: You had another vision, didn't you?
Squigley: Yep.
Squilma: Well, what happened in it?
Squigley: I...was speaking Japanese, for some reason.
Squilma: "Japanese"? What language is that?
Squigley: I...don't remember. I think I said..."Huh-jee-meh-mush-teh".
Squilma laughs.
Squilma: That's not Japanese! It's Octarian!
Squilma finishes her laugh. After a pause, her eyes widen.
Squilma: YOU WERE SPEAKING OCTARIAN?!
Squigley: I was?
Squilma: This is bad! Wh-What else was in your vision?
Squigley: Well, you were wearing a suit that looked kind of like Agent 3's, and the octopus called you "Agent 4"...
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: Y-You're a secret agent!
Squigley: Wh-What?! You're kidding yourself! Like you said, your visions probably don't mean anything! HAHAHAHAHA!
Squigley: No, this felt real...and you're wearing the headphones from my vision instead of your hat!
Squilma feels the top of her head.
Squilma: THE FRESH?!
Squilma swaps her headgear in a split-second blur.
Squigley: Too late, I already saw it.
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: You weren't supposed to know, Squiggles. I was supposed to keep you safe.
Squigley: From what?
Squilma: From the Octarians.
Squigley: But why?
Squilma: DJ Octavio wants you for some purpose that the New Squidbeak Splatoon can't figure out.
Squigley: Well, can we now assume that DJ Octavio wants to turn me into an octopus, like him?
Squilma: It's a safe conclusion.
Squigley: How is that safe?!
Squilma: Sorry, wrong choice of words. Look, the bottom line is that you need to stay safe. I'm taking you to the parking lot.
Squigley: How did you know about that?
Squilma: I helped build it.
Squigley: You WHAT?!
Squilma: Yeah, I picked out the furniture.
Squigley's left eye squints.
Squigley: I wondered why the furniture was exactly the same as in your apartment.
Squilma: In any case, we need to go.
Squigley: But what about the cloak-thingy?
Squilma: Don't worry, it's been repaired.
Squigley: Oh, good...
Squilma: Let's go.
Squigley: Right behind you!
Squigley begins to follow Squilma. Suddenly, the full moon begins to rise over the city. Squigley looks at it, and his eyes widen. We see the moon reflected in both his eyes.
Squigley suddenly walks away from Squilma, as though in a trance. He steps onto the drain, changes into squid form and leaps into it. Squilma fails to notice.
Squilma: Oh, and don't worry about Squika. I'll just tell him you were taking a mandatory octaiku class.
Squilma waits for a response.
Squilma: Ah, I see you're lost in thought...don't worry, I won't bug you too much...
Squilma's thoughts: ...unlike a CERTAIN orange-tentacled Inkling who doesn't know the meaning of the word "courtesy"...

- Part 3:
- Scene 6: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
DJ Octavio watches the monitor, which has a group of eight Octolings on it. They vaguely resemble Marina, though most of them have tentacles that are red in colour. The leader has deep maroon tentacles with a gold tinge, as well as what resembles a strand of seaweed on either side of her head. Each one wears a pair of sunglasses with lenses that pulse with red light.
DJ Octavio: Heh...my Octopus Amazons are dispatched, and they will do something unbelievably evil...distract the Squid Sisters!
Scene 7: Tentakeel Outpost: Evening
Callie and Marie sit outside a Japanese-inspired shack. Callie is dressed in casual pink clothing, whereas Marie wears a black kimono.
Callie: Come on, cuz! We need to leave now if we don't wanna be late for Squika's party!
Marie: Seriously, Callie? You'll go to every random Inkling's parties now, won't you?
Callie: What? I mean, sure, Squika IS a LITTLE random...
Marie: That's not what I meant...
Voice: Shiokarazu! (Squid Sisters!)
Callie and Marie look at the eight Octolings.
Callie: Oh no, it's the Taco Zesties!
The dark-tentacled Octoling frowns.
Leader: Dono yō ni anata o mamoru! Takozonesu! (How DARE you! We are Octolings!)
Callie: That's what I said! Taco Zesties! Although I don't know what tacos have to do with Octarian culture...
Leader: Baka! Sate, watashitachi no shigoto wa nanideshita ka...? (Idiot! Now, what was our task...?)
One of the other Octolings steps forward. Her tentacles look slimmer than those of the other Octolings.
Octoling: Shiokarazu o taosu node wanaidesu ka? (Isn't it to defeat the Squid Sisters?)
The leader grins.
Leader: Sōdesu! Arigatō, onēchan! (So it is! Thank you, dear big sister!)
Callie laughs out loud.
Callie: You? Stop us?
Marie grins.
Marie: You couldn't exactly stop us LAST time, could you?
The Octolings charge toward Callie and Marie.
***
Squigley leaps out of a nearby drain. Callie and Marie are backed into a corner.
Callie: I can't believe it! We're about to be defeated!
Squigley trudges past the shack out of Callie and Marie's view.
Marie: No we're not, because I have...THIS!
Marie pulls what resembles a glass bottle filled with green ink out of her pocket.
Callie: Wait...that thing has pockets?
Marie: Not the point, Callie. Look.
Callie stares at Marie.
Callie: I admit, it IS a nice-looking kimono...
Marie sighs.
Marie: Not at me! Look at what I'm HOLDING...
Callie looks at Marie's hand.
Callie: Wow...did you get your Hero Charger upgraded?
Marie sighs...again.
Marie: The OTHER hand, Callie.
Callie looks at Marie's hand.
Callie: Is this REALLY the time for melon juice, Marie?
Marie sighs...again...again...and throws the bottle near the Octolings.
Leader: Nani...? (What...?)
Suddenly, a cloud of green gas bursts from the bottle, engulfing the Octolings, who appear weakened.
Leader: Kore no imi...wa nanidesu ka...? (What is the...meaning of this...?)
Callie: Toxic Mist?
Marie: Yup.
Callie: Why were you just carrying it around in your kimono?!
Marie: What can I say? I never go to a party unprepared.
Callie: But what use is THAT at a party?!
Marie: Are you kidding? Squika's parties usually end up ransacked by troublemakers. The New Squidbeak Splatoon's job is to keep Inkopolis, and its citizens, safe at any and all cost.
Callie: Yeah, but...there are other ways to protect the innocent, right?
Callie and Marie look at the Octolings. They struggle to stand.
Callie: Oh...I guess that DID do the trick after all.
Marie: Wait...one of them is missing...
Callie: Wait...seriously?!
Callie counts them one-by-one.
Callie: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...oh no! One of them is missing!
Marie facepalms.
Marie: Honestly...
***
Squigley walks through a large, empty area. He suddenly snaps out of his trance.
Squigley: Whoa...what happened? Where am I...?
We hear a feminine giggle behind Squigley.
Squigley: Hm? Squilma, is that you?
Squigley turns around. The thin-tentacled Octoling approaches Squigley.
Squigley: Oh, it's just an Octoling...
Squigley's eyes widen.
Squigley: OH NO! OCTARIAN!
Quick as a flash, the Octoling dashes up to Squigley.
Squigley: Wh-Who are you?! What do you want?!
Octoling: Kimi wa. (You.)
Squigley's thoughts: She's speaking Octarian...
Squigley: I'm sorry...I don't understa-
The scene cuts to black.
Scene 8: Unknown Location: Unknown Time of Day
The scene fades back in. We see Squigley lying on a couch inside what resembles a prison cell with glowing magenta bars. His eyes open.
Squigley: What the...? Whoa...
Squigley nearly falls off the couch as he sits up.
Squigley: The last time I felt like this was after Agent 3 knocked me out...
Squigley looks around. His eyes widen.
Squigley: There was an Octoling! I'm sure of it! Which means...oh no...
Squigley has a flashback of his visions. We hear the giggling in the background.
Squigley: ...DJ Octavio has exactly what he wants...
***
DJ Octavio laughs with delight.
DJ Octavio: Well done, Octopus Amazon Hachi!
Octoling: Doitashimashite, Tako-sama. (You're welcome, Boss Octo.)
The Octoling bows. DJ Octavio rubs his tentacles together.
DJ Octavio: To think that I have the kid in my grasp as early as scene 8...in episode 8...it's almost poetic, kind of like an octaiku. I think I should enact my plan before this scene is interru-
Scene 9: Inkopolis Square: Night
Squilma walks through the plaza.
Squilma: Squika could've said he was throwing the party at The Shoal...I mean, it takes an hour to walk to Ate & Switch from here!
Squilma laughs.
Squilma: Still, at least we're getting plenty of exercise, right, Squiggles?
Squilma waits for a response. After a pause, she turns around.
Squilma: Okay, I think that's enough daydreaming, Squi-
Squilma realises Squigley is missing.
Squilma: Oh no...don't tell me...
Squilma runs toward the drain.
Scene 10: Tentakeel Outpost: Night
Squilma stands facing Callie and Marie. The other Octolings are tied up nearby.
Squilma: What do you mean you didn't see him?!
Callie: Well, we were under attack by our rivals, the Taco Zesties!
Leader: Takozonesu! (Octolings!)
Callie: Whatever...
Marie: Is it possible that Squigley merely lost his way?
Callie: Actually, Marie, it's SQUIDley.
Squilma: No, Marie got it right.
Callie: Really? I've been saying his name wrong this whole time?!
Squilma nods.
Squilma: M-hm.
Callie: Well, no-one said anything...boy, do I feel like a ditz!
Squilma: Squigley wouldn't just wander off like that. I'm SURE something's happened to him!
Marie: Well, these girls claim they were sent to kick us out of Octo Canyon.
Callie: Shame...this is a very nice place to live.
Marie: Of COURSE you'd think that, cousin...
Callie smiles.
Callie: So it's VERY unlikely that Octavio has Squidley!
DJ Octavio's voice: Hey, awesome job, my Octopus Amazons! Hachi brought me that Squigley dude, and I'm turnin' him over to our cause! See you when you get home!
Squilma and Callie are shocked. Marie grins.
Marie: You were saying, Callie...?
Callie facepalms.
Callie: Me and my big mouth!
To be Continued...
- Part 4:
- Scene 11: Inkopolis Square: Night
Agent 3 is sitting at a table.
Agent 3's thoughts: Squigley...he's been captured by the Octarians...but I know things turn out okay...
Agent 3 looks at a shady part of Inkopolis Square. A figure watches her from the shadows.
Agent 3's thoughts: Otherwise...I would never have met...him...
Scene 12: Tentakeel Outpost: Night
Squilma, Callie and Marie try to figure out what to do.
Squilma: We need to try and figure out what to do!
Marie: Yes, which is exactly what the narrator said we're currently doing.
Callie: For the love of freshness, Marie, this is NOT the time to break the fourth wall!
Marie: Why not? This episode would be entirely unfunny without SOME kind of comic relief, wouldn't it?
Callie: Oh...yeah, I guess you're right...
Squilma: Well, we tied up those...what are they called again?
Callie: Oh, the Taco Zesties!
Squilma: Yeah, them. So why don't we use them as a bargaining chip?
Callie: Well, the chips at Ate & Switch are already pretty cheap...
Marie: In both price and quality. However, Squilma didn't mean THAT definition.
Callie: Oh...
Marie: Also, we can't use them.
Callie: What? Why not?
Marie: They escaped.
Everyone looks at where the Octolings were tied up. Squilma and Callie are shocked.
Callie: But I octupple-knotted their bindings!
Squilma: Why didn't you tell us, Marie?!
Marie: Because I didn't know until after Callie called them the Taco Zesties.
Callie's left eye squints.
Callie: I wondered why their leader didn't correct me...
Squilma: Well...then there's only one thing to do!
Marie: Barge into Cephalon HQ and snatch Squigley back by force? Yeah right...like THAT'D work.
Callie: Hey, it COULD work!
Marie: I doubt it. Squilma, I think it'd be best if we devise a plan before-
Marie realises Squilma is missing.
Marie: Well, that was rude...
Callie: Oh, you mean like when you called me Seanwich-breath ten minutes ago?
Marie: Callie, you'd just eaten a Crusty Seanwich. What was I SUPPOSED to call you?
Callie: I dunno, how about CALLIE? As in MY NAME?!
Marie: Whatever...
Scene 12: Cephalon HQ: Night
Octopus Amazon Hachi leads Squigley into DJ Octavio's lair from behind.
Squigley: I have to admit...for a big, scary lair, this place is impressive...
DJ Octavio's voice: Hey, thanks, bruh!
Squigley looks over at DJ Octavio.
Squigley: Y-You're the huge octopus from my vision!
DJ Octavio: Vision? So you're a Soda-pop?
Squigley: Psy-pod, actually...
DJ Octavio: Yeah, that too. Anyway, WELCOME-
DJ Octavio holds out two tentacles.
DJ Octavio: -to Cephalon HQ, where I, the Boss Master, will turn you, Squigley Whatever-Your-Last-Name-Is, into an Octarian!
Squigley doesn't react.
DJ Octavio: ...weird, I thought you'd be a little more wowed by that...
Squigley: Well, I already saw your plan in my vision, so let's just get it over and done with...
DJ Octavio: Really? You're not gonna try and stop me?
Squigley: Well, it's not like I can change my own future, right?
DJ Octavio: I wouldn't know. I'm not an Eye-pad.
***
Squigley stands in front of the tube. The three Octotroopers and eight Octolings are present.
DJ Octavio: Now, my most favouritest Octopus Amazon will put you into the machine!
Squigley shrugs his shoulders.
Squigley: M-kay.
DJ Octavio's right eye squints.
DJ Octavio: Could you at least TRY to resist?
Squigley sighs. He puts little effort into his response.
Squigley: "Oh no, the big scary octopus is about to turn me into an Octarian. Whatever will I do?"
DJ Octavio: Eh...it could use a little effort. Now, to turn you into one of my minions! Favourite Octotrooper Amazon, if you please?
Octopus Amazon Hachi takes a step forward.
DJ Octavio: Not you! I'm talking about Octopus Amazon Ichi!
Both Hachi and the leader are shocked.
Hachi: Nani?! (What?!)
The leader beams with delight.
Ichi: Sore wa watashi no yorokobi, Tako-sama desu! (It would be my pleasure, Boss Octo!)
Octopus Amazon Ichi grabs Squigley's arm and shoves him into the tube.
DJ Octavio: HAHAHAHAHA! There is NO escape for you, gaijin!
The hatch closes, and the liquid begins to pour into it.
Squigley: Hey, where's the tickle...?
DJ Octavio: Come on, bruh! Could you PLEASE try to resist? I don't want anyone to think you're suffering from Sharkholm Syndrome or somethin'!
Squigley: Fine...please! Why are you doing this?!
DJ Octavio: Hey, that's WAY better!
Squigley: Oh, thanks...but shouldn't you answer me or something?
DJ Octavio: Hm...? Oh, right...lemme see...oh! How about this?
DJ Octavio clears his throat.
DJ Octavio: Because I want YOU, Psy-pod!
Squigley: Oh, that sounded awesome!
DJ Octavio: Hey, thanks! Y'know, you're alright, bruh!
Squigley: Thanks.
DJ Octavio: Now, let the party begin!
DJ Octavio begins playing music. The tube fills with liquid.

DJ Octavio: Soon, you shall be an Octarian!
Squilma's voice: Not if I have anything to say about it!
DJ Octavio turns to face Squilma.
DJ Octavio: Ah, Agent 4...I was just in the middle of-
Squilma: I know, I know...you're turning Squigley into an Octarian...
DJ Octavio: Seriously?! Does EVERYONE know my plan?!
Squilma: No, just Agents 1, 2 and 3, Inklinda, Inklein, Squam, Squienna, Squarka, that random extra from episode 7-
DJ Octavio: So basically everyone except the Squeirdo?
Squilma: Pretty much.
DJ Octavio: That's not very secret agent-y, y'know...
Squilma: Oh, really? And how would you know?
DJ Octavio: Well, let me play you this ZapfishPoint presentation I threw together explaining it in detail...
DJ Octavio points a remote at the monitor and clicks a round, blue button.

Two hours later...
DJ Octavio: ...and that's how you can maximise a profit by selling Takoroka merchandise from your own home!
Squilma writes down notes on a notepad.
Squilma: Wow, this stuff is GOLD...how did you come up with it?
DJ Octavio: Well, I AM a super-intelligent, century-old Octarian...
Squilma: Fair enough...
We hear a "ding" sound.
Squilma: What was that?
DJ Octavio: YAY! Your friend's ready!
Squilma: Ready to begin changing into an Octarian?
DJ Octavio: What...? No, he's just BECOME one!
Squilma is shocked.
Squilma: WHAT?!
The hatch opens. DJ Octavio is delighted.
DJ Octavio: Ooh, I wonder what he's become...I hope he's a Twintacle Octotrooper!
We see a humanoid form step out of the machine. He resembles Squigley, though his ears are slightly-rounded rather than pointed, and his head has what resembles buzz-cut hair. A single octopus-like tentacle stretches from the back of his head to the front, curling at the tip. He is wearing a pair of sunglasses that pulse with red light in each lens.
DJ Octavio: Oh, man...not ANOTHER Octopus Amazon Dude...oh well.
Squilma: Squigley...no...I'm too late...
DJ Octavio: You are TOO LATE, Agent 4 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon!
Squilma rolls her eyes.
Squilma: I know...that's what I said...
"Squigley": DÉJÀ VU! (DÉJÀ VU!)
Squilma suddenly panics.
Squilma: What has he done to you?!
"Squigley": BOKU WA TAKO! HAJIMEMASHITE, IKA! (I AM OCTOLING! NICE TO MEET YOU, INKLING!)
To be Continued...

Callie is panicking. Marie sips what resembles a cup of hot green tea.
Callie: This is bad! What if Squidley arrives too late?! What if Octavio turns Squilma into a Taco Zesty?!
Marie: That's ridiculous.
Callie: But-
Marie: Callie, I can 100% guarantee that neither of those two things can possibly happen.
Scene 14: Cephalon HQ: Night
DJ Octavio is laughing.
DJ Octavio: I did it! The power of the tidemoon has transformed Squigley into...Octugley!
"Squigley": TAKO! (I AM OCTOLING!)
Squilma: Look what you did, you Octidiot! Now he's speaking in nothing but broken Octarian!
Gamma: (To be fair, Octavio's speech pattern is already pretty weird...)
DJ Octavio: "Octidiot"...? What's exactly am one of that things, bruh?
Gamma: (Case in point...)
Squilma: You change him back RIGHT NOW!
Squigley: BOKU WA BOKU NO KATA GA SUKIDESU! (I LIKE ME AS I AM!)
Squilma: No you don't! You like being an Inkling, like me!
Squigley pulls out his Tentatek Splattershot.
"Squigley": ĪE! IMA NAWABARI BATORU! (NO! NOW TURF WAR!)
Squigley begins covering the ground with ink. Squilma sighs.
Squilma: Even when he's brainwashed, he uses "Turf War" as a verb...
Scene 15: Inkopolis Square: Night
Agent 3 continues to sit at her table. Her walkie-talkie suddenly switches on by itself.
Squilma's voice: Squigley, snap out of it! Please!
"Squigley's voice": ANATA WA OKĀSAN JANAI! (YOU'RE NOT MOTHER!)
Agent 3 gasps.
Agent 3: Squigley...but he'll be fine, I know it...
DJ Octavio: Face it, Agent 4! As long as Squigley is wearing my patented h########s, he's under MY control!
The walkie-talkie suddenly switches off.
Agent 3: But...he'll be fine...he HAS to be...
Sheldon bursts out of Ammo Knights and charges toward Agent 3.
Sheldon: AGENT THREEEEEEEE!
Sheldon reaches Agent 3's table.
Sheldon: It's HORRIBLE! Squigley's been turned into an Octoling!
Agent 3: What?!
Sheldon: Agent 4 is trying to free him from DJ Octavio's control!
Agent 3 remains calm.
Agent 3: But...it's not permanent, is it? The transformation, I mean...
Sheldon: But it IS permanent! Once an Inkling is transformed by that no-good octopus, they cannot be converted back!
Agent 3: But...that makes no sense...
Sheldon: Trust me, Agent 3: Squigley is lost forever!
Agent 3's eyes widen.
Agent 3's thoughts: But...he's not even a real Inkling...there HAS to be a way to change him back...
Scene 16: Cephalon HQ: Night
Squigley continues inking the ground. The entire arena is nearly covered by magenta-coloured ink.
Squilma: Wait...since when do you have that colour of ink?!
"Squigley": ANATA NO KAO KARA! (SINCE YOUR FACE!)
Squilma sighs.
Squilma's thoughts: Time to do something stupid, Squilma...
Squilma: Okay, Squiggles. You want to Turf War? Fine, we'll Turf War!
Squilma pulls out her Splat Dualies and aims them at Squigley.
"Squigley": YOS! (OKAY!)
Squilma shoots the ground at Squigley's feet. He is immediately stuck in neon pink ink.
"Squigley": ĪE YOS! (NOT OKAY!)
Squilma runs up to Squigley and pulls off his sunglasses, before crushing them in her bare hand. Squigley's left eye squints. His eyes are now yellow instead of purple.
"Squigley": BAKA! (IDIOT!)
Squigley raises his Tentatek Splattershot and aims it at Squilma.
Squilma: Squiggles...you wouldn't...?
Squigley growls.
"Squigley": I WOULD! (BOKU WA...SURODAROU!)
Squilma closes her eyes. She opens them a little and makes a small smile.
Squilma: Then do it.
Squigley grins.
"Squigley": OKAY! (YOS!)
Squigley readies his finger on the trigger.
DJ Octavio: Ohboyohboyohboy!
Squigley suddenly aims his Splattershot at the nearest Octoling and shoots cyan-coloured ink at her, splatting her. A tiny, octopus-like ghost floats away.

"Squigley": Squilma, now!
Squilma snaps back to reality.
Squilma: Uh...right.
Squilma rolls over to an Octoling and splats her. Squilma looks at the others.
Squilma: Who else wants some?!
Two more Octolings charge toward Squilma. She splats each one with a different Dualie.
DJ Octavio: NOOOOOOOO! My Octopus Amazons!
Another one charges at Squigley and attempts to crush him with her Roller, but he easily splats her.
Squilma: Nice one!
Squigley winks at Squilma.
"Squigley": I learned from the master!
Squilma: But...I use Dualies...
"Squigley": Actually, I meant Squika.
Squilma: Oh...but you're not sarcastic...?
Squigley grins.
"Squigley": A lot's changed about me, Squillie!
Squilma: Not TOO much, I hope...
Another Octoling tries to take Squigley by surprise from a high-up ledge with her Charger. Squigley's head starts to ripple with glowing cyan energy.
"Squigley": Time to unleash my secret weapon...or should I say "Special Weapon"...?
Suddenly, an ink-propelled jetpack appears on Squigley's back.
Squilma: Oh...I wondered when Special Weapons would be referenced in this fanfic...
Squigley flies over to the Octoling. She opens her mouth to speak, but Squigley unleashes a barrage of ink globs that splat her.
"Squigley": The number one tip I picked up from Squika? Don't let extras say any lines.
Squigley's Inkjet runs out, causing him to land in his original location. Octopus Amazon Ichi has Squilma in her clutches.
Ichi: Supurashūtā no OTOSU! (DROP the Splattershot!)
"Squigley": I'm sorry, I don't speak Octarian!
DJ Octavio: She said, "DROP the Splashooter", you traitor!
"Squigley": What's a "Splashooter"...?
DJ Octavio growls.
DJ Octavio: Just...splat the pink-tentacled dude already!
Octopus Amazon Ichi grabs Squilma even tighter.
Squilma: WAIT!
Octopus Amazon Ichi suddenly splats without warning.
DJ Octavio: What the fresh?!
We see an open Splat Brella aimed at where Ichi stood. The Brella closes, revealing Hachi to have been the one to splat her.
DJ Octavio: Hachi...? But...why?!
Hachi looks at DJ Octavio.
Hachi: Watashi wa okiniiri janaikara! (Because I'm not the favourite!)
Hachi pulls off her sunglasses, throws them to the ground, then crushes them with the heel of her boot.
Hachi: AND because she's a spoiled brat!
Squilma: I...I...
Hachi: And now, I'm leaving with these two gaijin!
Hachi grabs Squigley's and Squilma's hands and leads them through the hatch. She stops and turns to look at DJ Octavio.
Hachi: And my name's NOT Hachi, mmkay? It's-
The hatch suddenly slams shut.
DJ Octavio: Wait! Your name is what? Don't leave me in suspense like this! And WHY hasn't that Agent 4 dude trapped me in a tiny round object?! It's like this entire plot is leading to a sequel or somethin'!
Scene 17: Inkopolis Square: Dawn
Agent 3 is still sitting at her table. She sees Squigley, Squilma and Hachi approaching.
Agent 3: Squilma...?
Squilma: Mission accomplished...well, kind of, anyway.
Agent 3 stands and approaches Hachi.
Agent 3: Squigley...?
"Hachi": Um...actually-
Squigley raises his hand.
"Squigley": Yo.
Agent 3: But...you're an-
Squilma: Yeah. Octavio turned Squigley into an Octoling.
Agent 3: But...this makes no sense...
Squilma: I know, but we're gonna need to get used to the new Squigley.
Agent 3: But...then...
Agent 3 looks at Hachi.
Agent 3: ...who's this?
Squilma: Oh, this is the Octoling who helped us.
"Hachi": Yeah...I'm kind of also the one who captured Squigley and delivered him to Octavio.
Squilma and Agent 3 are shocked.
Squilma: WHAT?!
"Hachi": Yeah...sorry about that...but I was never really on-board with Octavio, anyway.
Agent 3: That is IT!
Agent 3 suddenly handcuffs Hachi's wrists together.
Agent 3: You are coming with me for..."rehabilitation".
"Hachi": B-But...I SWEAR I'm not-
Agent 3 tapes Hachi's mouth shut.
Agent 3: Don't worry, the New Squidbeak Splatoon'll take REALLY good care of her. Come on, let's go.
Agent 3 pulls Hachi away, despite her apparent protests. Squigley sighs.
Squilma: What's wrong, Squiggles?
"Squigley": I'm a freak, that's what...
Squilma: What? Why would you say that?
"Squigley": I used to think I was a human, but I came to accept that I'm really an Inkling...or, rather, I WAS an Inkling...
Squilma: Cheer up. You're still an Inkling at heart, right?
Squigley looks away.
"Squigley": I don't know WHAT I am anymore...I'm going to need to take a trip...think about things...
Squilma: A trip? To where?
Squigley looks at Squilma and smiles.
"Squigley": I hear Calamari County's nice at this time of year.
Squilma: Oh...okay, I'll organise everything for you. It'll be great, just the two of us...
"Squigley": Actually, I need to do this alone.
Squilma: Alone? But...is that wise?
"Squigley": Maybe not, but I need some alone time.
Squilma nods.
Squilma: I understand. Very well, take all the time you need to-
Squika suddenly lands on Squilma's head.
Squilma: Squika?! What are you doing?!
Squika: Why, super jumping, of course!
Squika looks at Squigley.
Squika: Oh, 'morning, Squigley.
Squigley's eyes widen.
"Squigley": H-How do you-
Squilma: Well, could you super jump somewhere else? I mean, you're not even supposed to BE in this episode, you Squeirdo!
Squika: Well, you and Squigley didn't show up to the party, so I brought the party to YOU!
Squigley and Squilma suddenly realise they are surrounded by a crowd of Inklings and other sea creatures.
Inklinda: It's, like, party time or whatever!
Inklein: YEAH! Wait...where's Wiggles...?
Squigley laughs nervously.
"Squigley": I guess I'll need to do a raincheck on that alone time, won't I?
Squilma sighs.
Squilma: For the eighth time, Squiggles, there is NO SUCH THING as rain!
Everyone laughs.

Callie: I...kind of feel like we're forgetting something...
Marie: Nah!
Callie and Marie both pause.
Callie: Hey, remember when Agent 3 first joined the New Squidbeak Splatoon? She was so fresh and innocent, with just a hint of naïveté!
Marie looks at Callie.
Marie: Is that your big word of the day?
Callie: What, "innocent"?
Marie sighs.
Marie: Sure...but yes, I do remember Agent 3's first assignment.
Callie: Me too...so...prequel?
Marie nods.
Marie: Prequel.
Callie: Awesome! Now, let's do the thing!
Marie: Really? But...there's no-one for miles around.
Callie: So, just do it!
Marie sighs.
Marie: Fine...
Callie and Marie stand up and face the camera. They pull their famous pose.
Callie and Marie: STAAAAAY FRESH!
The adventure continues (sort of) in

- Squigley's Journal - Log 64:
- 'Sup, journal? So...I'm an Octoling now. I think that's all that needs to be said.
Pretty sure I want to add a pre-Octoling photo to this thing, so I'll place it right here on this page:
I'll probably start fresh with a new journal in the sequel, so...'til next time!

And that's a wrap! I hope you enjoyed my Splatoon 2 fanfic as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for reading! 
...just kidding! This was only one part of the Squidkid Saga, which spans a total of three chapters, each one based on a different Splatoon-related thing. In the sequel, we find out what happens to Squigley and the gang after the events of Transform-ink-tion!, so I hope you're looking forward to it this July!
...what's that? You can't wait 'til then for more Squidkid content? Well, it just so happens that there is a prequel to Squigley no Densetsu, which you can find by clicking the link right here. It doesn't officially begin until next week, but you can enjoy a taster of the first episode RIGHT NOW! Isn't that freshing fantastic?
Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start reading Ally-Squinn no Shinwa! 'Til next time!
