and sat down with him. First, a male Inkling came in with an Aerospray RG. He was quite rotund, he looked like someone who just stood around in Inkopolis and played Squid Jump all day. Berry was not excited. Then, a girl Inkling came in fast, with a Classic Squiffer. She was not rotund, thank the Great Zapfish. She looked formidable, but shy. She scrunched herself up while she was waiting a lot, and didn't talk. Berry sighed in relief. Finally, another girl Inkling walked in to the room. With a ginormous Heavy Splatling Deco. She was loud. Really loud. Probably a tomboy. Berry felt as if he was pressured to carry the team, considering how weak his team looked in his opinion. The blue team came in all at once. A male Inkling with a Splattershot Jr., another one with a Carbon Roller, another one with a Luna Blaster, and a girl inkling with a Hero Charger Replica. Overall, Berry was not pleased. Both teams were told to come into the stage, for the match was starting.
Arowana Mall was the stage for the match. Berry went into the spawn pool, and got ready for the match. He noticed a small pod on the side of the stage. It was a place where the announcers would start and end the matches. Callie and Marie were there, and were ready to yell "Go!" Berry looked up at the pod, smirked at Callie,
then he heard "Go!"
Both teams ran out into the Mall, and began inking. Berry took the left side, the Aerospray went mid, the Squiffer went right, and the Deco went behind the Aerospray.
Berry flicked his Roller down, and jumped into the middle section leaving an orange trail behind him. The blue team went into the middle huddled up like a pod, and inked in a circle like a Sprinkler. The Luna Blaster was a ninja, and went behind the Aerospray, and splatted him with one blast. A cheap kill. Cheap like McSquiddles.
The Squiffer was at the other side of the watchdog platform, and sniped the Luna. Berry skid all over the Mall and inked everything CRAZY fast. His Killer Wail built up, and he swam up to the middle. He shot it directly ahead of him, splatting every Inkling on the blue team with an orange tunnel of death. The Aerospray and the Deco charged into the blue side, and started inking the place. A "chokehold," Berry considered it. The blue team was getting desperate. Only one minute was left, and they were getting destroyed. The Hero Charger on the blue team sniped the Aerospray, the Deco, AND the Squiffer. Berry snuck up behind the Hero Charger and did a three sixty roll flick on her. The hardest move you can do with a Roller. The crowd that was watching the match started roaring, and Berry inked up the whole blue side.
Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one. GAME! Judd came up onto the pod, and announced the winner. Orange won! 98.7% compared to 1.3% on the blue side. Berry jumped up in shock, and high-fived his team. Berry came out of Arowana Mall, and began to walk back into the lobby for another match. But he was stopped by Callie and Marie.
"You were amazing out there," Callie said, "I've never seen that amount of skill in a beginner!" Berry scratched his head in modesty. "No, I wasn't THAT good," Berry exclaimed, "that was my first Turf War!" Callie's face went white. "That was your first Turf War, and you did a three sixty roll flick successfully?! Not even the PROEST of pros could pull that off without getting splatted! You carried your team the whole match, and that was your first Turf War?!" Callie's astonishment was interrupted by Marie. "Um, Callie, you shouldn't bother fellow Inklings," she said, "let's go to Squidways." Marie left to Squidways, leaving Callie with Berry.
"What's your name, kid?" Callie asked. "I'm Berry," Berry said, "I'm thirteen... And single." Berry added that on just in case. "Oh, an early bloomer I see," Callie said, "you're pretty fresh for a young squid. I hope you continue to wreck 'em out there, man." Callie began to walk away. "Hey," Berry quipped, "We should hang out sometime." Callie simply looked back, winked at him, and left. Berry's heart melted into mush, and he walked back into the Tower to flex his flick muscles again.
