Squidcom walked out to a crowd of booing, with the rude comments of what Azule said on the first day of school fresh in their heads. They held up signs displaying their displeasure towards Azule, some had mean stuff written like "Tear him apart till he has no heart." and "Azule is a Fool".

"Tough crowd…" whistled Reice, stretching his limbs for the action that was about to unfold.

"Our opponents for today are Inkline, they finished in 13th last year according to their stats and have a team of 4 second years: two shooters, a roller and a charger. Their captain is Blaine Marcus, the girl in the green hair over there." Points Sally; the team wore matching neon green rugby T shirts with blue lines and their ink would be Green, Squidcom's would be Salmon pink. The leader of Inkline, Blaine, has an angry face towards Violet; the intercom came on and called both teams to their spawn points.

"Are you guys ready to do this?" readied Azule looking behind to his fellow teammates; all of them nod their heads with confidence

"With you as our captain, we'll win anything. just leave the rest to us and do your thing..." responded Sally, softly punching Azule in the chest; not only Sally, all the members of Squidcom had shown pure respect to Azule, he'd shown just how powerful he is when it matters the most, and that he also had a gentle and caring love for all of his friends.

"It's time!" shifting his view forward with a poker face; the bell sounds and the match begins.

"Each match is only 3 minutes long, so they'll need to secure the main area swiftly." Noted Cobalt eating some delicious popcorn and with a jumbo soda in his hand; he looked like a pig in his pen.

"Would try to tone it down on your pig fest? It's disgusting to watch!" Fuchsia remarked with disgust, a princess would never condone such behavior!

"Tangie, how do you love this guy?" throwing Tangie under the bus; Tangie waved her hands trying to deny it.

"Love is a strong word! More of best friend love if anything..."-she directs her attention to Cobalt-"Stop embarrassing us, we're still surrounded by people we know at school." Cobalt swallows his food and wipes his face and gives them an "ok" sign, they both reacted without amuse.

A minute had passed since the opening whistle and Squidcom were locked in a dead draw with Inkline, both teams refusing to give up any ground and the scores remained 50-50. Azule and Sally had been trying a combination of inking the same region, which has worked against them; Reice kept defenses smooth by splatting anyone who dares ink their turf and Violet offered him support by sniping anyone in Azule and Sally's blind spots to limit the attackers on him. Blaine suddenly pops out from her green ink and began firing at Azule and Sally, forcing them to fall back and seek cover behind the walls nearby.

"We only have about a minute left! Let's switch up our game plan, I'll push her back with my sprinkler and then you rush in and take her down and secure their turf, I'll take care of the other two with Violet…" commands Azule throwing his sprinkler sub weapon to drive Blaine back; Sally immediately inks the turf in front of her and swims forward to continue the attack. Blaine threw out her sub weapon of the Sploosh-o-matic, the Squid beakon, and two of her teammates super jumped to her spot. Tinker and Valio, the Roller and Shooter users arrived and performed a 3-on-1 blitz on Sally; it looked like Sally was about to get in the most untimely circumstance, if she got splatted it would surely spell a loss for Squidcom, as Inkline would have 3-on-4 advantage while Sally had to respond with on 30 seconds on the clock as-is.

Luckily, that didn't happen as Violet one shot KO'd both of them and got a triple KO after splatting Blaine, "Damn you Violet!" yells Blaine as she got splatted and forced to respawn. They secured the turf and grabbed victory when the whistle blew, the score: 66-33 Squidcom's win. The audiences booed even louder with their displeasure of seeing Squidcom succeed; Azule and his team marched over to shake hands with Inkline, but the members of Inkline refused them.

"What's your issue!?" shouted Violet with anger, "What's your problem with us? With me?" walking closer towards Blaine, whom didn't even want to so much as look in their direction.

"Of course you wouldn't remember what happened back in the past, mafia girl." Hissed Blaine; Violet stops, stupefied by what Blaine just called her.

"Excuse me?" with rage, balling her hand up into a fist with a deadly look in her eye, very similar to that of a natural assassin-definitely the daughter of a mafioso; Cobalt's Assassin and Samurai instincts kicked in and stood on guard ready to jump in if the situation got worse. Azule walks over to Violet and rests his hand on her shoulder, she looks at him with her sharp purple eyes but, meets his cold blue eyes and realizes that her sudden fury wasn't necessary, she's got Azule with her; Azule walks over to Blaine and her team with the same cold eyes that forced Violet to concede her anger to him.

"If you have any issues with any of my family, you'll be dealing with me. As captain, I'll fight their battles." with less force, attempting to keep the matter peaceful…

"You little first years think you're such hot stuff, huh? Well, better be ready to suffer at the hands of your upperclassmen, you scum. Our school would be better if you guys never showed up to our school. Get out of my face runt." in complete disgust.

"Just because you have the entire school backing you doesn't mean I'll hold back."-in a vicious tone gritting his teeth and clenching his fist-"I obliterate you on the spot if you dare say anything rude to my teammates; She backs off, feeling that sinister presence. The rest of Inkline followed.

"Good performance everyone! That's our club's first win, and a strong at that!" Tangie applauds.

Cobalt gives the thumbs up gesture, "Azule, I see you took care of that misunderstanding, good job."

"I'd appreciate if you'd give us your feedback, Fuchsia" Azule teases.

"It was decent, but could've been much better." -closing her eyes and tilting her head to the side-"Like for example, You guys had no business getting put in that little pinch of a 3-on-1 situation, you could've just rushed her or Azule would be a MUCH better choice for attack since his weapon doesn't take forever to fire up and with the sprinkler her could've dealt more damage at a faster rate as opposed to waiting for your heavy Splatling to charge and fire, It's a lucky thing that Violet bailed you guys out in the end with the crucial Triple KO." directing her attention to Sally; Everyone looks at her impressed with her amazing observation skills, but Sally looks annoyed after hearing her comment on her own skills.

After all the matches were finished, the students got a drop off at the school and everyone went to their dorms or other living quarters; Azule, Reice, and Cobalt arrived back at the dorm.

"I didn't think your sis and her team would destroy their competition the way they did on their first day." said Reice, cleaning his glasses.

"I expected them to win, but not the way they did." said Cobalt, putting his hands behind his head; Back at the stadium, they watched Sky's team, the Elites; absolutely obliterate their opponents 96-4.

"Wait a minute..." said Azule, halting before he opened the door.

"What's the matter?" asked Cobalt, trying to hold his bladder; he drank a little too much soda.

"Todd's in our dorm, he might attack us-"feared Azule, but Reice wouldn't let Azule finish, opening the door anyway and going inside;Cobalt followed swiftly running to the Bathroom. Todd was in the living room watching a basketball game and didn't even say "good evening".

"Good game today..." he mumbled under his breath, refraining from looking at them.

"Oh? So you do have manners." said Azule, looking to brag.

"Accept the compliment." he said sternly.

Over at the girl's dorms, Friya and Brittany were congratulating Sally and Violet on their win today and they did likewise. "Sadly we lost today" said Brittany, a first year in the Firefish club. She had Fire red/orange tentacles, similar to Parker's and they even had a striking resemblance. "boo-hoo, my team won!" taunted Friya, a first year in the Squidforce club. She had black tentacles with yellow tinges and wore pilot goggles and her attire outside of school consisted of sailor suits in multiple colors.

"That'll change when we face you guys next week!" said Brittany standing up to Friya; Sally and Violet were surprised to hear that.

"Next week?" they said together, leaning forward.

"Yeah, they gave out the team schedule for the season when you exited the bus, if you didn't get one you will get it tomorrow." Informed Brittany, "And the standings are already posted on the school website" added Friya. They both looked at each other and rushed to see where they stood in the Standings; 1-0, 4th place they messaged the others the details and told them to check out the schedule, they could figure out everything and plan ahead.
