Swordsman

by Darkford

Tory would rather play with the baby Zapfish than play turf wars, but the little brother of one of the best players in Inkopolis is expected to at least play a little. Going into his first battle, he wins - and gets a world of trouble. Banned from shops, he must make his way to the top on his own. Rated T to be safe. Complete, at least as far as the main story is concerned.

25. Chapter 24?

*Crackling noises*

"Hey Everybody!"

"It's the day we've been waiting for for about three days!"

"You've all heard the rumours flying about the plaza..."

"...but this rumour isn't just talk!"

"That's right, Marie! We've got some crazy stuff coming at you right here from Ink Battle HQ!"

"We've got two new weapons classes, to start off! The Slosher and The Splatling!"

"Wooo! Gatling Gun!"

"Callie..."

"Oh, have you guys seen the new clothes!? There's this dress that's just the cutest thing!"

"I know, Callie. Personally, I'm excited for Squad and Private battles. Think of the possibilities!"

"Wooo! Squid Party!"

"Callie... Not what I meant."

"It wasn't?"

"No. But guess what else, listeners? There're new ranks and the level cap has been increased to 50!"

"Time to get battling!"

"Get Splatting..."

"And remember to...

Stay Fresh!"

"Shh! Is Marie gone? Yeah, I think so. Okay, readers, listen close. Darkford has been really busy recently doing exams and stuff, but he's thrilled that people have given him so many reviews. He nearly has enough characters to start writing again! He just needs a few more!

"Ohh, and while I'm here... Darkford has been telling me that he's planning a set of Splatfest chapters if he gets enough support for it! Just, after story thing, y'know? You guys think that's a good idea? I think it is. Splatfest is fun. Oh, and about the sequels-

"MAIE-MRPH.."

"Sorry, Callie? We're not supposed to tell them about those."

"Oh, C'mon! It's fun..."

"Nope. But you can let them guess who the main characters of those will be. As much as Tory is fun to be around, he won't be one again..."

"True! But telling them is still more fun!"

"Look. Stop making an announcement out of a filler section. You should know how much he hates making announcement sections."

"Whatever!"

"Look, be quiet. We're about to go on air again."

"Fine... can I say goodbye?"

"Sure."

"Yay! Okay, bye folks, Stay Fresh!"

"Bye!"

"Annnd... ThemainthingofthesequelisOct-MARGH!"

"Shut up Callie! Do you want to ruin it?! You there! End the transmission before she ruins it! End transmission! END TRANSMISSION!"
