PROLOGUE

March 4th
4:27 P.M

A loud groan sounded in the air. "No, Fizzy. We're not. This is literally the 7th time you've said that this hour. Take a hint."

Fizzy sighed, leaning back in his seat. "Are we close?" He muttered somewhat silently.

"Yeah." Another voice replied. "Maybe like.. An hour, or so, til we get there."

The inkling looked out the window, watching tall buildings and apartments swoop past as the bus drove by. Yup. They were definitely close to Inkopolis Plaza.

Whispers and chatters from others in the subway grew louder as a big bulletin set down on a tall platform passed by them all.

Curious and bored, Fizzy tilted his head to the left oddly to hear what people nearby his seat gossiped about.

"Looks like Geyser's gonna be playing in a randomized Turf War battle later."

"Really? Don't you think they've won enough?"

"Eh. I don't really care. I wonder what team they're battling against though!"

"Like they have a chance."

"Geez. What's up with you? The other team could get lucky! Or- something. Maybe they have a better strategy."

"Do you really have hope that they'll beat them?"

"...No, not really."

"That's what I thought. And are we still gonna watch the performances with that knowledge in mind?"

"..Yes."

They began to chuckle quietly before one cleared their throat and they returned to looking into their phones.

Fizzy stared blankly at the two inklings before turning away after awkwardly meeting their gaze.

I feel like I've heard that name before.. But.. Where-

His head flew up enthusiastically, accidentally banging it on the back of the seat.

It's them! How could I forget? Well, if they're nearby, I've got to try and get into that battle of theirs!

He opened up his phone, quickly entering a passcode and looking up the news.
