I stood there in the middle of the square after seeing the inkoloplis news time, my eyes shifted to the place where the Inklings like myself usually go for battles and to be fresh. I wore a strapping headband, a soccer t-shirt with some strapping reds, and I held my E-Liter 3K in my right hand. This weapon helped me and my team win so many victories over the months that I couldn't even count. What makes this even special is that it's got a muffler so the sound doesn't scare me when fully charged. I even needed to bring it to Sheldon a couple times for what we call "regular inspections." Which consisted of Sheldon just making sure I didn't use it the wrong way and also fine tweaking it if it had any damage to the weapon itself. I strolled into the battle tower to find 7 other Inklings who look about ready for the same thing. This is how I make sure there is a room to live and food to get in my mouth. Today, I felt like this was going to be a standard turf war, but I was wrong.
Right as the match started, I took a second to observe on the screen who my opponents are. I saw one E-Liter, an Aerospray, a Krak-on splat roller, and a rapid blaster. My team had 2 tentateks, a squiffer, and then there's me, the E-Liter. Before announcer said go, I explained to the team what the strategy is, "Alright, before we go, tentateks, focus on covering turf as much as possible, squiffer, you and I take a splatter shot each and cover behind. Let's have a good match!" They all nodded as we began covering turf. I followed an inkling boy as he covered ground, charging my shots as quickly as possible, but something was off. I felt like I knew a squid sister before in like some previous life. Shake it off David. It's just you but it was too late, by the time I dragged myself out, the tentatek and the rest of my team were already splatted. Come on David, your record was flawless! Why are you not so eager for turf wars anymore? So I grabbed as much focus as I could muster and proceeded with caution. To my relief, a tentatek was super jumping right to me. "Hey! You alright?" I shook my head, "yeah, I'm just a little off. Let's win this!" and continued the strategy, splatting the opposition the first moment I saw them. When time was up, we saw the score, and I saw the score with the opposition winning by a huge margin, this was my fourth loss of the day. "David, are you ok?" the squiffer asked. I shook my head, "yeah, I just needed some fresh air" and stepped out into the the gun with Sheldon for our regular inspections.
