Agent 8 P.O.V

I felt myself rising up just like how I had to ride the elevator in the underground except this time I have someone with me. Though I guess I did sorta have someone with me last time, so I guess it's better to say I have someone with me that isn't trying to remove my life privileges. Not realizing I still had Agent 3's hand, I started subconsciously squeezing it really tight. Agent 3 sensing my anxiety she started looking at me with a kind and genuine smile, way better in contrast to the cruel looks she gave me when we first met! I felt heat suddenly flush to my cheeks and quickly turned my head around. Finally we made it to the top to see two other inklings. I looked at their name tags 'Mike and Emily'. Mike was using the sploosh-a-matic while Emily was using the dualies. I stared at them and they stared back at me. Agent 3 trying to break the ice stepped in and started talking. "8 what we are doing is called a turf war" she said calmly. I tensed up at the word war. "not that type of war" she said again. I swear this girl can read minds or something she seems to always notice when I'm tensed or anxious and we've only been with each other for like some hours. (not the dating kind) Suddenly all four of us were launched into this stage called 'Walleye Warehouse.' The stage itself was pretty ok, it had two side paths and a center. it seemed like it would be easy to camp and hard for the people you are camping to escape. Our ink colors automatically changed to purple and the other team changed to yellow. A countdown started and before it reached 0, 3 turned and started speaking to me. "Alright 8, here is a quick summary of turf war. Splat and ink" The countdown reached 0 and everyone was off in an instance. Okay..okay..splat and ink shouldn't be so hard... 3 went down the center. While Mike and Emily went down the two sides. Leaving me to take care of our base. Once our base was a pretty shade of purple I swam down to the center to help out 3. Yellow team already had control of the middle but 3 and I managed to splat the two yellow inklings guarding the area, while I was inking and had my back turned I got attacked by a yellow inkling with a splattershot. Before she could splat me for good, Emily comes raining down with her dualies splatting the poor girl. It was so cool! "Thanks" I said with a cheerful smile, grateful she saved my life. "No problem" she said, before swimming away to ink over in the left area. I started following agent 3 into the enemy territory nearly getting splatted again but we had each other backs and with the power of teamwork we managed to splat them all! Everything was going well into they all respawned right at the time we were all out of ink. But but Mike comes raining down with a splashdown splatting all of them "you're welcome" he said while inking the spots yellow team missed. Agent 3 and I stared in disbelief before we started laughing. I think I saw some blush appearing Agent 3's face but once again I just brushed it off. At the end yellow team just gave up and started to do what Agent 3 explained to me was a squid party. Finally the match ended with purple team having 95:0% of the map and yellow team having 5.0%. We all got back on the elevator and rode back down to lobby. I said goodbye to Mike and Emily, thanking them once again before walking back with agent 3 to her apartment. I'm happy I made some new friends and I hope to see those two again soon.
