You groaned as you have awaken from your afternoon nap, you have been resting for a while to participate successfully in the splatfest. You were slightly nervous, but you would try to give your all to your first ever splatfest! Big Man asking you to join his team politely was enough to boost your confidence and hopefully it wouldn't ruin you. You remembered that time when you dabbed on the tower when you were winning in a ranked and several seconds later you tripped and fell in the water. Oh cod for the week that was the main source of everybody's laughter.

Shaking your head you stood up from your couch tiredly, looking at the time. It was getting dark, the splatfest would probably start soon. You quickly rushed to get yourself ready, today was going to be a wild night! You firstly wore your precious H/G, your splatfest t-shirt, L/G and some S/G with it. You looked at yourself on the mirror, fixing your tentacles in a H/S. After making sure you were ready you let out a 'hmph' as you looked at the mirror one more last time before grabbing your F/W.

As you got out of your apartment and walked in the streets you noticed on how everything was cheery and bright comparing to a normal night in splatsville, heck it was even more energetic than the day! There was music banging, cephalopods were dancing and cheering, everywhere were decorated with plaza posts and other stuff...the splatfest didn't look that bad!

You noticed on the deep cut dancing in different platforms that were moving! You honesty questioned it that could hit and cephalopod, oh well it seemed well. You noticed Big man in one of the platforms, you gasped, ran and tried following the platform. Then waved and showed your t-shirt for the manta hopefully noticing you. Fortunately he did, while dancing he noticed you and his smile grew wider. He waved one of his fin more as a wave.

This boosted your motivation even more, you gritted your fists and ran over the lobby with a grin plastered on your face. You were ready!

And seriously it did seem like you were ready, in several hours you had became a banana ruler +2. Things were going pretty well for you. You also enjoyed tri-color battles, the defender team said it was pretty hard but honestly it was pretty fun. Even if you lost sometimes you enjoyed playing the new mode. (In my opinion)

You noticed that everybody started to leave, it started getting pretty late. (It was 4 AM) You were tired too but you wanted to play one more match, just to end today with hopefully a blast.

Popping some dummies as you waited for a match to be found, you stood still as a battle was found, getting teleported in the map. You noticed everybody looked tired with you, most of the folks were rulers, they must have been battling as much as you were.

Tho everyone's eyes widened and shook off their tiredness when they saw a new sign appear

100x Battle

Oh clod oh clod you needed to win this! You lost and won several 10x battles but didn't participate in a 100x today! THIS WAS FOR BIG MAN!

You and your team looked at each other "come on guys, maybe we just met but we can do it!" T/1 said "We simply need to reach the center faster than them, a shooter can ink the base" T/2 said, everybody agreed.

When the match started everybody started inking except a shooter that slowly colored the turf behind. (If you're a shooter then uh...you still go forward but ink too) you already noticed two inklings from the enemy team reaching the center. The death battle began!

T/1 activated the trizooka and swiftly splatted both of them from the above, you took this as an advantage and inked the center as much as you could. For now everything seemed fine, you had the advantage since your team now had the center. Tho while you were inking a splatana stamper used a zipcaster and before you knew it they had zoomed behind you and splatted you. To alert your teammates you whined an 'ouch' while floating up.

Now it was a draw, both the teams were trying to capture the center desperately. The trizooka was so strong it was causing a small earthquake, the zipcaster kept zooming around and mercilessly slapping your team and many other specials were used, it was wild.

Without you could notice the deep cut was spectating the match, it was the last match for the day and they were interested to watch it before they went home to get rest for the second night. Frye and Big man were pretty worried, Shiver wasn't that much because their team wasn't fighting. So no matter who won it wouldn't change anything for them.

A minute was left and you needed to find a plan, in the end you decided to sneak and splat them from behind with your crabtank. Sounded good enough (Sorry folks if your weapon doesn't have a crabtank)

As the death battle was going on you sneakily went into the enemy's base, inking around without them noticing. Tho soon a sniper noticed you and tried sniping you, tho with dodging you easily splatted it. But it seemed like they signaled a 'this way' and a 'ouch' because soon an inkling and octoling appeared towards you. 30 seconds left!

You hurriedly activated your crab tank and splatted the first one. But the blaster seemed harder, it got able to hide and if you wouldn't splat them soon they could easily splat you from how strong their weapon was. If a blaster strikes you two times you're dead! Unfortunately they got able to hide well and splatted you, trying to cover the ink you made after you were gone.

You respawn, gasping when there were 15 seconds left. You quickly ran to the center and your main goal was to ink. You and the shooter decided to ink around while your rest team members distracted the enemy. You looked at the map while the plan continued, no no no! There was a big splash of enemy ink in front of you and that could lead them to victory! There were only 5 seconds left, you noticed the enemy team started to chase you and the shooter.

Crap, you didn't have any ink left! The enemy team was behind you and there was a huge ink pile you can ink. You mentally begged for your weapon to work, if only you could throw a bomb there!

Come on...ink, ink, INK!

Magically you got able to throw a bomb in where the enemy ink was, letting out a shaky sight of relief when the game finished and you got able to somehow cover some of their ink.

The map seemed bizarre, nobody could really understand what was going on. Deep Cut were also nervous as you all were when the Judd's calculated the results.

The bar started to fill with both your and enemy ink, you sweated.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding....

TEAM F/C WON!
%46.7 - %46.5

You all cheered happily, so did big man, Frye and shiver from the spectator place. Somehow you still didn't notice them. Your last second bomb saved your team from losing, tho while doing the victory dance you felt weird...and dizzy too.

Suddenly everything started to get blurry and big man seemed to notice how weird you acted, letting out a worried 'Ay?' That also resulted the deep cut to look at you.

Your limbs were shaking..you didn't understand what was going on but you felt like you were about to faint, you were so dizzy...

Oh wait...

Throwing that bomb wasn't magic...

If you try inking with low ink too hard the weapon will consume ink from you instead...

Carp...
