❖ Chapter VI ❖ Phanomenal Views ❖

[Y/N]'s POV

I turned around, and looked into the purple inkling's eyes really deeply, while recognizing who this actually was.

Skull...

"Long time, no see... I knew we will see eachother again" he said deeply and looked around, still on the search after my friends, but sadly, they were gone. All of them. Probably I was the fault of all of this but ... yeah, it was already too late to get them back. They needed their time to recover themselves for whatever correct, specific reason and therefore I was supposed to NOT chase after them. 

"What happened... {Y/N}?" Skull sighed and wanted to know everything, which was very nice from him. The inkopolis grew into an empty square and we were somehow alone for some reason, until I looked into the sky.

It got dark, so the night was soon incoming. We had a lot of time left before going home tho, because the sun was still shining, but only half of it was seen. Anyways, at least we saw something and Skull was interested into my life.

"I saw everything from afar, but... I didn't hear ya'll. Why did Army broke your weapon?" he added the question with another one. While he sat down, I just stood beside him, until I realized that he apparently knew Army's name. I found that very strange and kept this in my head to ask about it later, when I'll get the chance for it. Explanation had a higher priority and before I opened my mouth I thought for a while. The silence between of us was real and the cold wind was actually the only thing, which caused some noises. Literally each inkling and octoling was sleeping or at least in their houses, except us of course.

Everyone, except us was away.

"I accidentally insulted Army's manual too hard. He got so mad that he broke my weapon. Gloves just left with his team, because they gave up too early inside our match. Maybe it was for them a strange feeling, to get commanded around by a noob like me, but I have no idea what the exact truth was" I explained and looked at the ground, while speaking almost too emotional, with the thought how guilty I felt. All the mistakes I put on me, even though I wasn't that sure if that was the reality.

"Do you know Army?" I asked my question instantly and the only logic answer would actually only be a yes.

"Yeah. Army belongs to the team, like me. Together with two other great fighters, we're called as the S4" Skull spoke proudly and acted a bit more like a boss.

S4.

I deeply remember how already Gloves told about this team and therefore it seemed that this team was quiete popular. Gloves claimed that they're dangerous, because of whatever reason but hof far I knew half of the team pretty well, I didn't believe it at all. Of course Army did something horrible to me, but I was aware of his angry side. It's not like it's the first time I saw that...

Anyways. It was interesting to see that they know eachother, not to forget, that Army never mentioned Skull past the time as we were good childhood friends.

"Insulting his manual wasn't that smart from you, {Y/N} but that he even broke your weapon as a punishment was also a bit too much. You should let them in  peace I guess, Army and Gloves. I don't know him that much, but they'll come back to you, when they're alright again" Skull promised and stood up, taking out a lollipop.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked back and deeply appreciated it, as he wanted to give me a lolli as well, but I refused with a shaking head.

Skull nodded and munched at his lolli around, while suddenly starting to walk into a random direction. Without knowing it, I let my broken weapon on the ground behind and followed the gloomy squid. He didn't find it important either, to carry the weapon with me, so we just left it behind us, as if it was trash. Of course it was, because first it looked horrible and second it wasn't be able to shoot any ink anymore. Extremely broken and even for Sheldon it would be impossible to repair. Even if it would, I wouldn't have enough money for it anyways and so... it was okay for both of us.
