Nobody's POV

"GAH!" sparrow cried out as she got splatted for the 10th time that round, they were getting no where... and the clock was ticking.. she huffed as she respawned and quickly dove back into the action

Or so she thought before getting snipped..

When she respawned, her teammates were huddled behind the spawn point auto shield...

They were being spawn camped...

they have to go as far as spawn camp us?! Cod.. that's the lowest thing you can do besides squidbagging! She thought, frustrated as she continued to shoot and cover turf that was continuously being covered by the enemy.. she soon had her special ready, her currently bright yellow tentacles starting to glow, she looked over to her team mates, theirs the same, she nodded to them and activated her special, sharing the bubble with them and they activated theirs as soon as the bubble was around them

The roller wasted no time in flinging splat bombs, leaping out of the spawn and flinging them left and right, up and down, side to side like a maniac

The second roller fired their inkzooka, leaping out of the spawn also, firing at the retreating enemy team, splatting two of them

Sparrow followed them, covering any turf they missed, they manged to splat the entire enemy team, they didn't waste any time and began running for the middle

10!

"EEEEP!" Sparrow squeaked as she was splatted once more

9!

8!

7!

6!

stupid sniper! she thought as she respawned for cod knows how many times it's been...

5!

4!

She super jumped to one of her team mates, only to see as she was in mid air, that someone from the purple team was standing nearby... and they were shooting where she was going to land...

3!

2!

1!

you have to be shitting me... she thought as she landed and got instantly splatted

GAME!

The whistle blew, signaling that the battle was over, sparrow sighed as she respawned... she knew instantly they lost.. Judd examined the battle field, holding the flags for the yellow and purple team, after what felt like an eternity, he raised the purple flag towards the purple team, they began wooping and cheering, high-fiving eachother


Sparrow's POV

"COD DAMN IT SPARROW! AGAIN, YOUR THE ONE WHO GOT SPLATTED THE MOST, THE ONE WHO INKED THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TURF! COD FUCKING DAMN IT!" screamed the team leader, who was named zackary, as he continued to rant and insult me.. I was used to this by now, but that didn't mean it still hurt but I hid it well.

"S-sorry... I-i tried... I tried to-" I began before my vision blurred for a moment, I blinked before I realized I was on the ground and zackary was standing over me, glaring at me, my right cheek was hurting so I assumed he slapped me

"I'm so tired of your bull! Make those mistakes one more time and your out of here!" He growled and stomped off. I sighed and shook my head, you said that the last 5 times... I thought bitterly as I stood up and picked up my weapon

"Hey sparrow!" A cheery voice said, I turned my head to see who it was and saw my childhood friend lyra, walking towards me. I waved and walked to her

"How was the match? She asked, a sparkle in her eyes and I sighed.. "w-w-we l-lost.. and I got y-yelled at by my team leader.. a-again..." I muttered as we walked around the plaza, it was crowded as usual, inklings going to booyah base or participating in turf wars

"Yeesh... doesn't he ever give you a- wait, what happened to your face?" She asked worried as she noticed the red mark on my cheek and shrugged, "team leader. He raged so bad, he said if I make the same mistakes one more time he's kicking me out"

"Are you serious?! That's insane! I oughta give him a shiner for that! Why are you even still with them?" She growled, her hands clenched into fist by her side and I shrugged again, "they were the only other team that wasn't full and that didn't reject me because I was new, plus, another one of my old friends is on that team" I said as we sat down on a bench, I tapped the nozzle of my splattershot jr. As we spoke

After a bit, we decided to do one more match before heading home as it was going to be late soon, we headed back and began looking for any teams that needed extras for one final match.


"Carpcarpcarpcarpcarpcarpcarp!" I squeaked as I ran through the streets of inktopolis towards booyah base, I had woken up late and was in danger of not participating with my team in a match.. I had also forgotten to lock my apartment door so I was hoping everything I had wasn't gone by the time I got back. I weaved through the usual crowd of inklings, getting pushed down a few times but quickly continuing. I spotted zack and three other inklings, one of them being lyra, heading into the lobby

"W-WAIT! I-I'M.. I'M HERE! WAAIIITTT!" I cried as I slowed down, wheezing slightly.. I wasn't that athletic really... I saw zack say something to the others and they laughed and nodded, waving as they headed into the tower, I saw lyra look back and she smiled and waved at me before disappearing into the lobby

"I... I'm... i-.. I woke up... I woke- I'm sor-" I managed to get out before being punched in the gut, groaning as I fell to the ground.

"Your lucky I'm in a good mood today.. your on the other team with the three I was talking to and I'm leading our regular team with an actual GOOD player! Can't wait to beat you guys in a match and prove how much of a terrible player you are. Also, might not run into me.. I'm still pissed about yesterday"

He pulled me up roughly and shoved my weapon in my hands and I nodded, walking into the lobby and smiled, pretending that everything was alright...

"Imgonnahunthimimgonnahunthimimginnahunthim!" Lyra growled as she charged up her heavy splatling and covered a decent line before diving into the ink and repeating, sparrow trailing behind her, "l-lyra p-please! It's-"

"Shut up! I'm getting him and him ONLY! If anyone gets in my way I'm splatting them to.. just focus on inking turf, I got this!" She said before leaping down the ledge, splatting someone on the way down, determined as all hell...

Sparrow sighed as she began inking over spots and places her teammates missed, only jumping down to cover up the other teams ink

The stage was Moray Towers, Teal vs. Pink, sparrow and lyra's team was pink, sparrow ran a hand through her messy tentacles, sticking out in many directions. She huffed, as she reemerged from her ink, finished recharging and began inking turf once again, before she got splatted by someone

"Dang it..." she muttered as she quickly jumped back into the action, there was only 1:30 left..

where the splat is he... I'm gonna get him I swear... thought lyra as she ran through the stage, and true to her word, she splatted anyone who got in her way, she even got a triple kill but she hadn't seen zackary, who was her target..

30 seconds remaining! an announcer called and lyra growled, she was thinking on super jumping to sparrow when she saw zackary and sparrow, the sight only fueling her rage

"H-hey.. c-cant... can't we talk about this...?" Sparrow squeaked as the stared at the gun that was currently in her face, zackary glaring at her.. "afraid not.. time for revenge..!"

10!

9!

8!

"OH HELL NO YOU DONT! GET OVER HERE YOU BASTARD!" Lyra yelled as she charged towards the two, activating her bubbler and charging up her splatling

7!

6!

5!

"Who the?!" Zackary said as he turned his head towards the voice, sparrow did also and her jaw dropped at the sight of a pissed off lyra, bubbler activated and an almost charged splatling, charging towards them

4!

3!

"SPLAT THIS!" Zackary squawked as he turned and ran, leaping off the ledge to the area below, attempting to escape

2!

1!

"THIS IS FOR MY FRIEND!" Lyra screeched as she fired her weapon, splatting zack in mid-air

GAME!

The whistle blew, signaling that the battle was over. Lyra smirked as sparrow sighed, "you just made it worse I think..."

"Don't care! Finally splatted him for once, that's all I wanted!" She said, her cheery demenor returning as she hugged her splatling, smiling a goofy grin. Judd examined the stage, holding flags for the respectable teams, after a minute that felt like an eternity, he raised the flag to the pink team, who won by just 0.1%

"W-w-we... we won?!" Sparrow said as lyra hugged her squealing, "WE WON! WE WON! IN YOUR FACE ZACK!" She said, giving the double finger to a raging zack, who glared at them with full on hate..


Sparrow's POV

We.. won.. now things are probably going to get worse.. or better...

"That was amazing! I can't believe I got to splay zack.. AND AT THE LAST SECOND!" Lyra squealed as she hugged her heavy splatling, grinning from ear to ear, I couldn't help but smile also.. I actually won a turf war for once, and probably prove that I wasn't a terrible teammate in the process probably

"That was pretty fun.. hopefully zack sees that I'm not such a terrible teammate after all.." I said as we walked around, the sun was starting to set. We played turf war after turf war, winning almost all of them.. it was nice for a change.. and I also ranked up, from level 3 to level 10..

"Me to.. but, if he does end up kicking you out, then you can join my team still! My offer is still in the air, waiting to be accepted..."

"Yeah yeah.. well, see you tomorrow"

"See ya!" Lyra said as she turned into a squid and super jumped away "SQUEEEEEEE!" She squealed as she launched into the air

I giggled as I walked in the direction of my apartment complex, I stopped for a moment, I thought I heard aomething... but I shrugged it off, it was probably my tired brain playing tricks on me and I continued my walk
