OPERATION: Protect Inkopolis

Reminiscent Moments in the Deep

Turf War: Walleye Warehouse

"Wow! Looks like today's turf war is getting brutal for the orange and purple teams," said Riva as she and her co-host Lumi watched the current turf war on commentary.

"You said it Riva. None of them seems to be holding back," said the bio-luminous inkling.

"If I didn't know anything about good sportsmanship, I'd say they're playing dirty," said Riva as the eight participants splatted ink about.

"Well, technically, there aren't any rules in turf war, are there?" said Lumi. "I'm just surprised that they aren't losing it at this point."

"Guys, get Maika to the centre of the stage. Make sure she keeps enough ink to launch the Tentamissiles," said the male inkling in the Purple Team.

"Sorry Hitto, this guy's got me backed into a corner. I need time to recharge but he wouldn't let me, said the female octoling teammate as she hid herself from a hareling roller. "Inkogen, you think you can handle it?"

"Don't worry Nana, I got this one. You go stop that roller Hitto!" said the female hareling, swimming through the ink as she searched for her teammate.

Meanwhile, Hitto ran around the boxes and crates that littered the area. Fortunately, just down the hallway, he found the octoling hostage and the roller trying his best to swing orange ink as far as possible.

'You try hard friend. But not hard enough,' he thought as he hurled a splat bomb just behind him.

The roller was focused at covering the turf and keep Nana at one spot. So it was predictable that he would notice the pyramidal ink bomb right there. With one swift move, he jumped hid in a nearby ink puddle he made.

But it gave Nana just enough time to run further into the warehouse.

"Smart move, squiddy," said the hareling as he rose from the mass of ink.

"Wish I could say the same thing for a guy who was trying to corner the one with the slosher," Hitto snarked.

"Well, it is still lethal. And I am still new to this thing. But at least I can use this..." said the hareling as he launched his sub: a seeker.

By that time, Maika and Inkogen were at the head of the battle. The hareling was swinging her inkhor while the inkling had to momentarily swim in ink to at least get enough ink on time. They were going against an inkling splatling and an octoling charger.

The inkling had shot a melee directly aimed at Maika. However, Inkogen had jumped in the way just in time to catch it and let her hide in ink for a while. She was thus splatted and back to the spawn point.

But just as the octoling had splatted the area Maika was swimming to, leaving her immobilized, two splashes of purple ink were enough to splat her back to the spawn point.

"What happened?" asked Inkogen as Nana splatted the trap puddle.

"The guy has to deal with Hitto now," said Nana as she and Inkogen handled the turf and the remaining opponents. "Don't you think it's time to launch the missiles?'
