Octo Valley
The three inklings were faced with an important decision. Would they join the Squidbeak Splatoon or go back home to their normal lives. Marcus found this decision particularly difficult as he had little experience with weapons. Not only that but he was shocked to learn that the Octarians took the had assumed it was just a cruel prank like the other inklings did. And he knew that Eve Damien felt the exact same way. Until now none of them had ever considered the Octarians as suspects. "Can we discuss this in private before making a decision? Eve asked a bit nervously. Sure I'll give until tomorrow night to make your decision." Cap'n Cuttlefish replied. Eve thanked him and then the three of the jumped into the manhole and they went back to their homes.
11:00 PM
Near Damien's Apartment
Damien walked home shortly after agreeing to discuss the matter the next day. As he walked he was nervous about making his decision. He wanted to help out but couldn't. Damien was terrified he could get injured or worse killed. He also feared that his skills wouldn't be enough he had little experience in turf wars and only participated in them as hobby anyway. He didn't need to go he'd just be dead weight anyway. He suddenly stopped feeling guilt over these thoughts. If he has the opportunity to prevent a invasion then why wouldn't he do anything about it? What about about all people in the city what was he going to do let them die in war? He began walking again pondering his decision.
4:00 AM
Yvonne's House
Eve was getting ready for school that day thinking about the events of the previous night. She knew for sure she was going to join. She believed it was the right thing to do and that the ufo spotted on that the zapfish disapered as confirmation that it was the Octarians. Eve then left her house and began to walk to school. As she walked she recalled information she had read about the Octarians. Apparently their military is strong and advanced often hiring young Octolings as soldiers. Despite this the people are very poor and often starve as all their money goes to the hoped that things would get better for the Octarians bit at this point it wasn't likely as it seemed the Octarians government wanted war
6:30 AM
School
Marcus had arrived to school a bit later than he usually did but he didn't care. He was so deep in thought he wouldn't be able focus anyway. As he went through his classes he started to regret his decision to go after the zapfish. He knew he was going to join anyway but he knew he needed more practice before fighting anyone he thought back to how he lost his first turf war despite his best efforts.
He would do anything he could to defend his home but he didn't want to feel useless. During their search for the zapfish it was Eve and Damien who did most of the talking and while he mostly kept it to himself Marcus felt like he wasn't needed. "I just don't want to feel useless." He thought To himself as the school bell rang. He grabbed his notes as class began still unsure of himself.
12:00 PM
The Lunch Room
The inklings meet up in the lunch room like they had agreed to earlier. Eve seemed that they would succeed but Damien and Marcus were had their doubts."Eve do your really think we're ready for this? Marcus asked shyly. I know this is really important but I don't think we're ready. Eve frowned but let him continue. Damien and I have little experience in fighting or turf wars we doubt we could be of any use. Eve smiled then began to speak. That's why we're going to start training. This got both boys attention and she knew then laughed as she continued.You didn't think we would be going out there unprepared did you?" The boys just stared at her not saying a thing.
No one said anything for what felt like hours until finally Damien gained the courage to speak.
Maybe we could do some practice in the training room after school after all it's that we're prepared. Damien suggested. Alright that's a great idea maybe we could start tomorrow. Marcus quickly addedWe could even do this everyday imagine how much practice we could get in." Eve shouted to the dismay of everyone else. Well shit I wouldn't go that far. Damien responded only to receive a glare from Eve Yeah on second thought everyday sounds great."

Octo Valley
Cap'n cuttlefish had just had a conversation with Callie and Marie regarding the events of the previous night. Callie was pretty optimistic about having more agents though Marie doubted they could do anything significant. They went back and forth for a while but were stopped by their grandfather. They soon left to appear on Inkopolis news leaving him alone.
The old man sighed as he began to cleans his cabin. Though he would never admit he had asked the kids to join him out of desperation. He knew that the Octarians were planning something for years but when he learned that they stole the zapfish he was terrified. Cuttlefish then stopped cleaning and went outside to clear his mind when suddenly heard a noise coming from the manhole.
The inklings from before jump out. "You all arrived earlier than I expected. The old inkling said as he wiped the sweat from his head. We thought it would best if we arrived earlier. Marcus replied while trying to sound as confident as he could. So are you joining the Squidbeak Splatoon? Cap'n Cuttlefish asked as the kids nodded in response. I hope your all serious about this because once you get involved there's no turning back."
There was a brief pause but eventually Marcus began to speak. Of course we will we won't let the Octarians win without a fight. Marcus responded while giving a thumbs up. The squid kids smiled as Cuttlefish let out a sigh of relief. Well then I'd like to congratulate you on becoming agents of the Squidbeak Splatoon."
