You are just an average inkling in Inkopolis Square, when you notice a strange person who changes your life. This story begins in Splatoon 2, but I will mark in the chapter list when the story jumps to Splatoon 3 for those of you who want to jump straight to that point instead. All rights for the characters and bits of story go to Nintendo. I also don't own any of the pictures in this, unless specified other wise. Cover photo by Yuqoi on Deviantart.

"Long I had dreamed of a place where fighters come together to build up their skills, face many challenges along the way and grow within themselves. The Smash Academy was built for the purpose of potential warriors to develop their skills, hone their talents and develop relationships among people they can fight with and against. As the new year approaches, they will lead themselves on an unforgettable and worthwhile journey; they will experience many things along the way: many of which can be happy moments to heartbreak to loss. These all combined, will help them grow as a true Smash fighter." - Official statement from President Sakurai, the co-founder of Smash Academy. *Author's note - 11/01/2021: Hey reader! Really appreciate if you've started reading this. Please note I wrote this... Uh, about... 7 years ago and I was young and still navigating the world of literature and fanfiction so bare with me if the plotline is a bit strange (I'm currently having second-hand embarrassment thinking about this fic). Thanks! **also note that this fix takes place in an alternate universe and facts and official game releases do not necessarily correlate with what has been written in this story. I am aware of the history of Smash but decided to spin it for this fic.
