Episode 24: The Heist (Part 2)

Amy: ...It's time I end this for good. I'll show you who's not weak.

*Amy sneaks inside the lab Sycther's in. She knew she had to be extremely stealthy in order to get that surprise jump on him. She may not have Ninja Squid on her build like Crystal does, but she knew how to play stealth. She ran lightly on her feet and hid behind a few empty crates. She peeked to see if Sycther noticed her. Fortunately, he hadn't. Amy quietly leaped between more objects, from a table filled with empty test tubes, to more empty crates, as she got closer and closer to Sycther's seat. Before long, she was ducking right behind him. This was it. She can't screw this up, she thought to herself. She made sure her ink tank was full, her dualies were aimed properly, her stance was correct, all things she made sure to practice on a while back. Feeling ready, she quickly rose up and-*

Sycther: ! HYA!

Amy: GAH! 0-o

*Sycther surprises Amy by turning around with a sharp swing from one of his Splatanas. Amy, having quick reflexes, backflips in time, just barely missing the edge of the deadly weapon. Amy landed on her two feet, her dualies pointed straight at him, looking as ferocious as ever.*

Sycther: Your reflection on my computer screen! Really? You need to be better with your stealth skills, Yellow.

Amy: It's Amy. Amy Cuttlefish.

Sycther: Ah, my apologies. I have trouble with names you see, they slow me down. But I'll try to remember yours, and Pink too.

Amy: Grr...

Sycther: So Amy, wonderful to see you again. So soon, in fact. Honestly, I really wasn't expecting that.

Amy: I'm not in the mood for sweet-talk Sycther. I'm here to splat you off the face of the Earth.

Scyther: Aw what a shame. But if you insist...

*Sycther pulls out his iconic dual Splatana Stampers.*

Scyther: I guess we can skip to the fighting part early.

Amy: Whenever you're ready.

Scyther: Hm, I really respect you, y'know? But no more talk. Let's see if you really improve from our last scuffle.

*Sycther dashes forward to Amy with his Splatanas extended. Amy backflips to dodge once again, which was what Sycther expected. He quickly stops, and decks Amy in her face with an ink slash from his Splatana, sending her tumbling to the ground.*

Sycther: Already off to a bad start? You disappoint me.

Amy: Oh...OHOHOHOHO! Well don't you worry man!

*Amy activates her special, Tenta Missiles, and locks in on Sycther.*

Amy: I was just getting warmed up!

*Amy launches the missiles right at Sycther, then propels herself forward with her dualies for a swinging kick. Sycther dodges the kick, and just barely avoids the missiles. Amy picks herself up, and throws a fast-moving Burst Bomb that manages to deck Sycther in the face. Sycther didn't even have time to wipe the yellow ink off of his face before Amy rolls forward, and shoots with both her dualies combined, knocking him towards the wall.*

Sycther: Mhm...impressive Amy. You're finally landing your shots. Well, some of them.

*Amy tries to drown out Sycther's monologue as she focuses her aim.*

Sycther: You fight so well, no wonder you're going solo here. Speaking of which, where is the other one? Aren't you two close?

Amy: That's none of your business!
