Craig got up, the warm light of the morning sun waking him from his sleep. He had a dream, in which he, Louis, and his other newly found friends had all teamed up and fought a great evil while serving in the army. Craig's dream as a child was always to do some sort of good deed, one big enough for his name to be remembered. This was the biggest reason he had for trying to join the army. He simply wanted to be remembered as a hero. It was also an added bonus that his friends were attending the academy as well.

He got dressed, put on his uniform, and picked up his backpack. He marched downstairs, his Mom cooking him a breakfast. He was now ready to begin his second day at the academy. Louis was woken up by his brother in his apartment, nearly oversleeping again. Ammoses was woken up by his makeshift alarm clock, who's loud sound could be heard throughout the entire house. Machine Girl and Casiopea, who slept in his living room, were awoken as well. Octavio was woken up by the loud sounds his Dad made every morning.

The five all went off to the academy, of course, Machine Girl staying home. "You ready for day two, Craig?" asked Louis. "Yep! Just hopin' that our first class passes by quickly. Cause damn, shit was boring! Same for third." Ammoses rolled his eyes, "Oh, this again? When are you all going to respect the history and work that goes into our weapons of war?!" Octavio replied, "No offense, Ammo, but... we kinda don't care about it." Ammoses puffed, "I worry for our current and future generations." Casiopea yelled, "PLEASEEE LET US DO SOMETHING TODAY I DON' WANNA SIT DOWN AGAINN!"

The five went into their first class, where Professor Chai began to teach about the history of roller type weapons for two and a half hours. While Ammoses was engaged, the rest of the class was struggling to stay awake. Then, it became time for their second class. Casiopea yelled, "Hopefully, we do sumn physical... for, ya know- PHYSICAL TRAINING!" Octavio yelled, "SHUT UP! Damn!" As their second class started, Professor Kanno and her assistant, Judd, waltzed into the room. Judd jumped onto a table, and Kanno walked in front of it.

As the class was about to start, two identical looking octolings walked into the room. They both had the same facial structure, mannerisms, and hairstyle. The only difference between the two were their hair colors, one having yellow hair, and the other having purple. In unison, they said, "Apologies, Professor Kanno. We were not present here on our first day, and have arrived late on our second." Kanno replied, "I don't really give a damn. What're your names?" The one with purple hair said, "Lynyrd." and the one with yellow hair said, "Skynyrd."

Judd said, "Meow. (Please take a seat, Lynyrd and Skynyrd.)" The two sat down near the five. Kanno cleared her throat, "Alright. So, today, we're going to do something rather simple. We will have a turf war." Casiopea jumped up, "WOOOOO! YEAHHH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! YOOOOOOOOO!" Judd yelled, "Meow! (Please settle down!)" Kanno sighed and continued, "The only weapon which will be used is a basic splattershot. You will all wear protective clothes to stay safe from the enemy's fire. Although re-spawn points are currently being designed by our top scientists, we are still not far enough in our technology to use them. So try to not die."

Kanno continued, "You'll all be split into teams of four. A pair of two teams will be put against each other, and will battle it out to see who can cover the most land. If you're not an Octoling or Inkling, or are somehow unable to ink for other reasons, please come up to my desk." Ammoses, as well as 3 other individuals, all walked up to her desk. Judd did a head count, exclaiming, "Meow! (Perfect! 40 students!)" Kanno split up the remaining 40 into 10 groups. Craig was paired with Casiopea, Louis, and an octoling nicknamed Rah Band. Octavio was paired up with Lynyrd and Skynyrd, and an inkling named Wilder.

...

Machine Girl continuously knocked loudly on the door of a house for about a minute straight. "I know you're in there! Open the hell up!" she yelled. She continued to knock, eventually knocking so hard that she was practically punching the door. The house was large. being two stories high and bearing a wide design. She began to kick the door, eventually busting it open. She marched inside, her face red with anger. She walked into the living room and yelled, "Neil Hendrix, you fucking son of a bitch! Where are you!?"

Eventually, she found him in the dining room, eating a single fish stick alone. "Get the fuck outta my house!" Hendrix yelled. Machine Girl yelled, "You old bastard! What gives you the right!? What makes you think it's okay to simply steal my prints and fire me like I'm a piece of trash!?" Hendrix replied, "You don't even work there anymore! You spend all day at home working on worthless projects which net you no money! We pay you to exist! And it's time we stopped!" Machine Girl yelled, "Without me your piece-of-shit academy would be nowhere NEAR as technologically as advanced as it is! And what if you need me again?! What if you need to fix a fault in the system!? What if you need new inventions for the advancement of your school!?"

Hendrix yelled, "We can simply get another engineer!" "YOU THINK I'M REPLACEABLE!? The fucking audacity! It's not like you pay your engineers much anyway! I have to sleep in my friend's fucking LIVING ROOM! And here you are, in your big, clean house! What the fuck do YOU even do!?" "I run the fucking academy, that's what! You just lay on your ass all day! You're 41 and acting like a fucking child! Just because I fired you!" Machine Girl became even more furious, "Fuck you, Hendrix! Fuck you and your 'military academy'! I'll do my best to ensure that it's burned to the damn GROUND!"

Hendrix laughed, "Yeah right! Your fuckin' sister and friends are going!" Machine Girl yelled, "Like I give a shit! FUCK YOU, crusty old bastard!" Hendrix gripped his fish stick with immense force, "Casiopea's only 24, Ammoses is only 25, and you wanna ruin their futures and destroy their school merely because you couldn't handle getting fired!? What the hell are you even gonna do?! Sue us!? You can't do shit! Run off back to your dirty little house, you bitch!" "FUCK YOU, HENDRIX!"
