Well, I wasn't expecting for people from other countries to read my story. Thank you all for reading this. Well, on to the story.
Max's POV
Seems going to the Dojo was a good idea after all. I was still able to pop some balloons but I had to get right up on them. I looked out on Skate-park watching Nick and Moje have their duel. Me and Johnny were keeping track of their score. "So that's seven for Moje and eight for Nick?" Johnny spoke looking between our two friends. Nick started to swim around looking for balloons, after he popped up Moge was behind and splattered Nick and took the balloon. "Dang, he sure is quite isn't he?"
"Moje does ambush quite often." After Nick respawned he went right after a group of balloons. After popping a couple, he spotted Moje pop up to claim a balloon. I saw the smirk on Nicks face as he got close just to get splattered by one of Moje's Mines. "Well, I think that is now Six to Ten?" Both me and Johnny look at each other before laughing. The timer next to us rang. "That's game guys!" Moje looked up at us smiling. Nick, after his respawn started mopping. "Oh come on Nick this was only practice."
Nick looked up, a smile slowing forming, "I didn't know Moje had mines." Nick blew a raspberry at us causing us all to laugh once more.
"Watch your step." Moje joked walking toward the watch tower. Nick just looked down in case there was another mine, "Got you." Another wave of laughter took us all. After a bit, Scrubbers came out to clean up the park for the next match. "I got to go guys. See you later."
"Off on another date with your girlfriend?" Johnny asked watching Moje shuffle his feet. "Oh come on man, we've known about you for some time. You two may be quite but we can still see you two around the tower." True enough, We spotted Moje with an Inkgirl over at the arcade machine quite a few times. Something must have been between them right?
Well, we didn't have to wonder long before a massive blush burst from his cheeks, "Its... but... Fine yes. I have a girlfriend." Moje sighed in defeat, "I'll talk to you guys later." We all waved goodbye and went back to the one vs one duels.
"Oh for the love of Ink! How are we going to go back with only three?!" Nick shouted as the thought dawned on him. Me and Johnny looked at each other, how are we going to play with only three of us.
"I suppose we can just practice today and join in the turf war tomorrow." Johnny shrugged as he proposed his answer. The Scrubbers had finished clean the area just in time. "Well, who is next?"
"I think it was Me and Nick this time. Mind if I swap out for the my shooter? News cast said that the maps were Skate-park and Salt Spray Rig." I was met with both of them nodding. I head to my locker and swapped my Dynamo Roller for my Aerospray MG, thankfully I still have the burst bombs. I ran back in to see Nick already geared up and ready to go. "Alright, good to go?" Nick nodded, his hair quickly changed to a neon green instead of the purple we all had, and we hopped in to the arena. the balloons just floated about, up till I spotted one on the far side pop, 'Well I found Nick at least." I scanned the area and spotted what Nick was going for. About four to five balloons had bundled up on the far corner. Now it was just a race to who can get to them first. "Already Nick Nack, game on!" I shouted as I started to lay my path. Popping out just to toss some bombs and going back under. Both of us reach the ledge leading up to the prize yet Nick was ahead of me. After popping back up I whistled to grab Nick attention and just after he turns around, his face made contact with two burst bombs popping him instantly. I swim my way to the top, bag the five points, and went back to scanning.
"Hey guys! Double point time!" Johnny yelled down at us. I stopped scan and just went after balloon after balloon. Once I reached my eighth balloon, Nick popped up next to me and the world got darker. I got splattered. It didn't take long for color to return. I looked up at the score board.
"Crap lost two points." Score was now fifteen to eleven. I rushed back to where I was popped and followed Nicks path. Found him just about to pop his fourteen and fifteenth point to tie. "Hey Nicky." Nick stopped firing and turned to face yet the same fate fell on him again as his face met with the Burst bombs. I quickly bagged the last few points and Johnny called game. Nick swam back, his hair color going back to purple after the score was settled. "Ouch, almost got me Nick." As we all shared a laugh, all of our stomachs started to rumble, "Huh, well guess that answers my next question."
"OH! I heard of a sushi place opening up downtown. Can we can we can we!" Nick was hopping up and down yet stop as his gut didn't like that.
I looked at Johnny, "I suppose we can do a pitch in. That should cover the cost." Johnny said doing the math in his head.
"Alright then, Think we should grab Moje and his girlfriend?" I was met with both of them nodding.
"I wonder if she has any single friends." Nick smiled yet Johnny smack him on the back of his head. "I was joking... slightly." Nick had mumbled the last part earning yet another smack. I guess some things never get old.
Lilly's POV
Alright match number seven, so far we are tied with three wins and three loses. "Alright girls same plan only me and Nicole will use the Chargers. Jane, Hide and go ink and use the Ink strike when you can. Lissa your on reclaim." my three sisters all nodded and the plan was in act. The map was Salt spray rig so me and Nicole raced the other team to the high platform while Lissa went after them and Jane went to the lower platform. Nicole and me covered what we could with our bombs before diving for a refill. Nicole had been splattered and the Blue team's ink started to pop up more on the map, "Alright, ready?" Nicole nodded and took aim at the entrance to the platform. The first blue was a boy who started his bomb rush but was quickly taken out by Niccole's shot. There was two more over the ramp, 'Guess one of them went to H&I' I got a ping telling me my special was fully charged. A smile crawled up my face as I activated my sonic locator. Sure enough I noticed two of them were far off. One of them jumped up to the front lines while the other just ran in circles. 'Ha called it.' Lissa got the message and went after the hider, as well as Lisa's first rocket flew up and splattered the other three trying to toss bombs over the ramp just for them to get shot. Judd quickly throw up the one minute left sign to all of us. "Sheesh time flies. "Last push every one." I yelled out and all four us just started to cover what we could while keeping Blue team to busy to cover turf. What seemed like forever, Judd called game. Seems one of the blues managed to slip past and get a good chunk of our back turf. All eight of us looked at Judd for the winner and... He waved the flag toward us. "Yes!" High fives and cheers echoed from us while the blues moaned and whined. " 62.3 vs 37.7!" Once the ink had been cleared and weapons stored. We walked to the other team offering good game chat. Surprisingly they looked relived.
"That was the most fun we had today right?" What I could only guess was the Inkling girl in front of me was their party leader looked at her teammates and they all wore the same smile. She looked back at us, "We look forward to a rematch."
"Oh you are so on!" Jane yelled headphone once again on full blast. Lissa removed one of her buds to Jane's surprise before figuring out why, "Sorry about that. Want to share contacts?" The blue team looked between themselves and all nodded. Sure enough the contacts were exchanged and confirmed and we parted. Jane went to pet Judd on the way out receiving a small purr from the judge cat. "See you later Judd."
Niccole looked up at the clock turning wide eye, "Oh, no. I'm late. I'll catch you girls later." before we could ask any questions she was off.
"Ok, anyone else surprised at her outburst?" Lissa spoke with the same befuddled looked we all shared.
"Think she had a date with her boyfriend?" Both me and Lissa turned to look at Jane even more confused, "I'm guessing you two didn't know." she pointed a finger at between both of us shaking our head no. "Oh, well. see as how the cat is out of the bag, no offence Judd." She looked behind her to find the cat sleeping on the mailbox. Jane shrugged and turned back to us. "She is with a purple haired boy with goggles. That's all I know." She raised her hands in a mocked surrender.
"Well, I guess as long as she is being treated right. Hey you guys hungry?" My answer was met with all of our stomachs rumbling. "Oh well, never mind. You guys have any plans?" Jane and Lissa shock their head no. I soon felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to look who it was and it was Nicole and the Purple boy who I guess is her boyfriend.
"So... Seems Moje was invited to a Sushi place downtown. They also asked if I wanted to bring some friends." She spoke with a blush growing on both their faces, Huh so his name is Moje, not Max. Oh thank the great blooper in the sky. Wait why is that good.
I looked at 'Moje' for a sec. "Hey your friend's with Max right?" His eyes widened a bit, 'Ha knew he looked familiar.' I smiled that seem to put him at ease "I guess i'll come, sides we all are hungry anyway." a low growl followed afterwards along with some giggling from the other two. "Well, lets go down town then."
