DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. THIS IS JUST A FANFICTION.

SORRY FOR SUCH A SHORT CHAPTER, I WILL WORK HARDER IN FUTURE CHAPTERS!

NOTICE: This is my first FanFiction, so reviews would be helpful! This story is played from James's view so don't be startled by the sudden change of perspective.

PROLOUGE

It was a normal day for squids in Inkopolis Square. Squids and kids were making a mess in turf wars, while others were concentrating on winning the match. For James, it was his first day in the square. James has purple hair, with deep blue eyes. He had just moved from Inkopolis Plaza, the place to hangout before the square had arrived. He also had a squad named Too Much Lag from the plaza, that moved into the square with him. Due to all the money they earned from tournaments, they had all bought luxury apartments all next to each other. James's teammates were Gem (an expert sniper), Nick (a splattershot main), Rosa (a blaster main), and of course, James who manned the Splat Roller. They were all close friends, and two of them were even closer. James and Rosa. Being in the top 10 of squads, news about them arriving in Inkopolis Square spread like wildfire.

CHAPTER 1

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Went the alarm clock in James's room.

"AH! Why is that alarm clock so loud?" I yelled, frustrated that my sleep was disturbed. I had to get up extra-early today if I wanted to make it out of the apartment complex alive. There were too many Inklings that wanted to assault me with questions. When I had showered and was dressed in my usual Camo mesh, Camo zip hoodie, and Pro trail boots, I went downstairs to meet with my team. I found them sitting at a table each with coffee in their hands. I went to get coffee myself, but was stopped by the love of my life, Rosa.

"We need to talk." she said firmly.

"Okay…?" I responded, dumbfounded. She led me to an empty hallway where we could talk.

"Did you forget that we all start out as level 1's today?" she asked. I had to think about that, and in a few seconds, I remembered.

"Oh yeah! I forgot! I better go get my Splattershot Jr. then!" I hollered as I ran back to my apartment. I took the elevator up and it was smooth sailing from there. I swiped my keycard and bolted in. I found my Splattershot Jr. in one of my packing boxes. I grabbed it, and jumped down the stairs in squid form, inking a puddle for me to land in. Since I landed in the puddle, the fall did no damage to me. I didn't need my coffee anymore as I reached my squad once again, but with my Jr, rather than my roller.

"Are you guys ready for our first turf war today?" Nick asked.

"HECK YEAH!" The rest of us yelled in unison. We are on our way to the lobby for our first match, but were stopped by the billboard that hung over the lobby.

"Y'all know what time it is?" Pearl asked.

"It's Off the Hook, coming at you LIVE from Inkopolis Square!" Marina Continued. They reported that the zapfish was missing for the second time, and also, that Callie, from the Squid Sisters, had gone missing as well. They then revealed the Regular battle stages as Humpback Pumptrack, and Moray Towers. They then did their cheesy, but cool looking outro.

"Cool, so it looks like those are our stages to win on today!" I said. My teammates nodded in agreement as we walked into the lobby.
