I'm aware I updated this yesterday, but inspiration strikes.
Chapter Two
Kjyana the Lady
(Choco's apartment)
(Two days before encounter with Fishy)
Choco looked at his sister, who was talking to Skul. It had been quite the adventure getting Skul to open up, but his sister had succeeded. "So
you were raised by Octarians?" Skul nodded. "Down there, it was win, or be punished. So I trained hard, trying to become the best." Choco
sighed. Skul faced him. "The problem with that is that if you leave a trail of offended people in your wake, you make a lot of enemies." Skul
thought that over. "Fair enough."
Vanilla spoke up. "Hey, Chocolate, have you heard from Mom and Dad lately?" Choco nodded. "They bought a new car, but can't make it to the
city for at least another month." Vanilla growled. "Why are they staying away from us?" Choco shrugged. "Oh, and Vanilla, call me Choco. I told
you that." Vanilla playfully stuck her tongue out at her brother. "Coming from the guy who uses old weapons." Choco gave her a look.
"Bamboozlers are very good, sis."
Skul stared at both of them, confused. "What's a Bamboozler?" Choco held his up. Skul cocked her head. "Oh, that? I thought it was a cane."
Choco replied, "It's a gun." Vanilla looked at him. "No, it's a piece of junk. Squiffers are much better." Choco sighed. "Not this again, Vanilla, at
least not in front of a guest." Skul shrugged. "I don't care about that. I just prefer rapid-fire weapons. They're easy to use." Choco faced her, then
looked at Vanilla. They had a lot to teach her.
(Day of match with Fishy)
Skul walked behind Choco, looking at the map before them. "Isn't this Walleye Warehouse?" He nodded. "It's Kjyana's map." As if on cue, a loud
feminine voice sounded from the other spawn pad. "WALLEYE WAREHOUSE!" Skul was confused, but said nothing. They ink up the map, and
found hiding spots. Skul hid by a fan, and Choco hid in ink in the middle of the map. Needless to say, he was found very quickly. Upon being
splatted, he called out, "BLEEP THAT!"
Skul was confused by that, but kept up her concentration, trying to avoid Fishy and "Kjyana". Soon, an Inkling girl with six long hair tentacles
rushed past her. Skul had 1:30 to keep hiding and avoid being splatted. Kjyana had other ideas. She turned around, and took note of the ink
around Skul's hiding spot. She began to ink it, and Skul leapt out, firing back. Kjyana was hit, and backed up a bit. Skul knew that Fishy wasn't
far off, so she swam off.
Fishy began to chase her, and Kyjana soon joined in. "Get back here, you scrub!" Skul heard that, and came out of her ink very quickly, catching
both Inklings by surprise. She glared daggers at Kjyana. "No one calls me a scrub!" She began to shoot at them, successfully splatting Fishy, but
Kjyana got her with a well-aimed shot. As Skul respawned, she stomped her feet in frustration, and punched a nearby wall. Kjyana, who had been
celebrating with Fishy, noticed.
Choco knew better than to go near Skul while she was angry. Kjyana did not. She swam over, and shifted back into her Inkling form, taking note
of Skul crying into her hands. "I tried so hard..." Kjyana felt guilty, and gently put her hand on Skul's shoulder. Skul glared at her. "Go away. I
don't want to hear it." Kjyana sighed. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm a party squid. I'm in it for the fun. You obviously just want to win."
Skul whirled towards her. "You think?!"
Kjyana put her hands up in defense. "I'm sorry. When Fishy said that some Inkling girl wearing some kind of armor cheated during a match, I
agreed to help him out. Now, I realize that he was wrong. You didn't cheat. He's just a stupid fish." Skul laughed a bit at that. Kjyana extended
her hand. "Let's try this again. I'm Kjyana, queen of Walleye Warehouse." Skul thought it over for a moment, before deciding, "I'm Skul." Kjyana
looked at her in confusion. "Skul?"
The purple-colored Inkling looked at her. "That's the only name I was given." Choco walked over. "Want me to tell her?" Skul nodded. Choco faced
Kjyana. "She was raised by Octarians." Kjyana faced Skul in wonder, and said, "Wow. That must've been rough." Skul shrugged. "Nothing I can do
about it." Kjyana gently touched her shoulder again. "So now you can build a new life. I happen to know that Flounder Heights has apartments
available, if you want to check it out."
Skul nodded. "Thank you." Fishy stood off to the side, watching, guilt etched across his face. Skul noticed him. "Okay, get over here, you fish." He
did so, slowly. She looked at Choco, then at Kjyana, then back at Fishy. "Four of us. That's enough for a pro team, I think." Choco nodded. "Yeah,
it is." Fishy looked at her. "What should we go by?" Skul shrugged. "I don't know yet. We'll work out the name before we apply." All three of the
others nodded in agreement.
"So... any ideas?" Kjyana spoke up. "Keep Calm and Just Buck-It." She held up her slosher to emphasize her point. Skul cocked her head. "I don't
have one of those." Choco spoke up. "Bleep That." All three of them looked at him. "Just a thought." Fishy spoke up. "Would Port Mackerel work?"
Choco facepalmed. "Can't use the name of a stage, Fishy." The Inkling sighed, defeated. "Well, I got nothing." Skul sighed. "We'll work on it."
They continued to brainstorm for a few moments, before agreeing to meet up the next day to continue the discussion.

I sincerely hope that posting a link to this in a comment on one of Skul's videos will help people become interested in this.
