==Plot==
The film opens where the party is taking place celebrating at the small house in the metropolis city of Inkopolis, where it is the sixth birthday of Squidwin, a blue-haired Inkling boy. Squidwin opens one last present, which is from his father Lark, which reveals a water toy gun, even though Squidwin was looking forward to get his own real Ink Gun, but for now, he's been told by his family that he will get his own real Ink Gun when he gets older.
As Squidwin walks outside to play Turf War with his friends Peter and TJ with their own water guns, he suddenly discovers the another world on the other side of Inkopolis which is called Octo Valley. Despite for being warned by their family to never go there because it's dangerous, the three boys enters the land out of curiosity. However, the three boys are trapped by Octolings and chased to a dead end, where the Octolings has their chance to finish them up.
Thankfully for the young Inklings, Lark arrives for his son and his gang's rescue as he fights with the three Octolings while Squidwin, Peter and TJ escape. However, Squidwin decides to return to his father worried for his safety. When he goes to him, he is distracted with trying to protect his son, so they decide to both escape together. However, Lark trips over while carrying Squidwin by piggyback, and he is killed ("splattered") by the Octolings in front of Squidwin's eyes. He narrowly escapes death, and breaks down in tears when Peter, TJ and his family find him at the border between Inkopolis and Octo Valley.
Later, several shots show Squidwin and his family attending Lark's funeral. It is revealed that Squidwin managed to collect his father's Custom Splattershot Jr., which he holds close to his heart in remembrance of his father.
Eight years later, Aqua alerts Squidwin, now grown up into 14, that he is late for a Turf War Competition, but missed the bus. So, after the comical chase through to bus, Squidwin finally made it to a Turf. As a game begins, Squidwin is been joined to the Turf War to compete the orange team. In the middle of a Turf War - we see that it is blue vs orange. Squidwin is participating, dodging blasts of orange ink while he charges forwards, attempting to ink the battlefield, while his smitten eyes are caught by an orange Inkling girl, who is one of the orange team. However, after an Inkzooka attack from the opposition, Squidwin is the only Inkling remaining in his area - a dramatic scene ensues as Squidwin continues to ink the area while being pursued by a group of orange Inklings.
The camera pans out as we see Beako and Fins commentating on the event - beside them are Marie and Callie, reporting the event for Inkopolis News, and Earl, who films the event for TV. The camera then pans to Lil, who is cheerleading for the Orange Team while quietly making fun of Squidwin to her friends.
We also see Peter and TJ who are watching the event on TV from Jelly's Jellyfish Pizza Prince Pizzeria, cheering Squidwin while Sheldon and Crusty Sean enter the restaurant, cheering on the blue team.
Cutting back to Squidwin, Beako announces that 60 seconds remain of the Turf War - Squidwin calls for his allies' help as he is surrounded by three Orange Inklings. No one comes to his aid, as the other Blue Inklings are covering Turf. Squidwin is KO'd and the match comes to a close. Suspense rises as the crowd cheer - Judd and Li'l Judd examine the arena while Squidwin heads for the changing rooms with his teammates, angry that they did not support him in the last few seconds. The results are called and Orange Team have won.
Squidwin claims that his teammates are the reason for their loss, and in an attempt to calm him down, Squidwin's teammates only provoke him further, to the point where Squidwin interrupts the live TV broadcast in rage, claiming the results to be "fixed". As he storms out of the arena, Lil watches on, finding the ordeal to be hilarious. In the Pizzeria, Peter and TJ are visibly embarrassed by Squidwin's temper tantrum.
Squidwin returns home to his widowed mother Aqua, and his little sister Ruthie, still furious about his teammates. He storms to his room where he collapses on his bed, while muttering to Clapper, his pet nudibranch, that he doesn't want to ever participate in a Turf War again.
Squidwin arrives at Inkopolis High School (IHS), only to notice that most of the other Inklings are staring and laughing at him, mocking about him for his loss of temper in the previous day's events. Still frustrated, he meets with his best friends, Peter and TJ, and tries to excuse his actions. 
Nevertheless, the Inklings head to their first lesson, History, where Squidwin mutters to himself that "life isn't fair". Next to him is an orange inkling, a new girl at school, who was in the Turf War the day before - she introduces herself as Pen and comments on Squidwin's tantrum. Squidwin is too fed up to argue and tries to laugh it off.
He walks with Pen to the lunch table, and she assures him that it could've been worse. Squidwin agrees, but the two Inklings accidentally cross paths with the TentaCrew, an infamous street gang and the school bullies - they tease Squidwin about his tantrum and proceed to throw punches at him. Pen steps in to defend Squidwin, only to be hurt as well. Everyone else in the Cafeteria watches on and laughs as Squidwin and Pen are humiliated. As Squidwin and Pen walks off to leave, one of the Inklings slips on a food which left on the ground, and falls down causing to throw his meal towards Squidwin and Pen, but the two ducks which an inkling's tray of food then accidentally splats a leader of the TantaCrew, Crush, to his back. After the scared inkling runs away to avoid himself from getting hurt by Crush, the furious TantaCrew leader turns back to glare at Squidwin and Pen, thinking if they did it on purpose. The two Inklings and the TentaCrew launches to the chase towards him around the school. Squidwin and Pen hides one of the school lockers before Squidwin accidentally sneezes caught the TentaCrew attention and finds them.
Pen and Squidwin runs outside the school with the TentaCrew still chasing them, until the two Inklings rushes to Squidwin's house to hide the garage. After hearing Squidwin taunting them, the TentaCrew threats him and Pen that they will come back for a visit before heading off. Worried and upset, Pen decided to refuse Squidwin to become friends and then leaves, which lead Squidwin feeling betrayed. 
Aqua is shocked to see Squidwin got beaten by the TentaCrew and takes him inside the house, but the dog and goose workers Dug and Gus spots Squidwin and explains his mother the truth that Squidwin lost the yesterday's Turf War with his team, thanks to the Oranage team. Aqua, angry and disappointed, realized that Squidwin was been lying to her earlier, and got reported from school about Squidwin's behavior before grounding him by sending him to bed. Squidwin collapses in his bed, crying, and wishing that his father was still around to help him as he looks at the Custom Splattershot Jr. that he had kept for 8 years since his death.
Squidwin comes to school the next day, being humiliated not only for his temper tantrum at the turf war, but for his beating by the TentaCrew the day before. He goes to Chemistry class, sitting next to TJ while being utterly bored. Suddenly, the school alarm goes off as the entire class goes into panic. The Octarains, equipped with deadly weapons, bursts through the classroom door, firing toxic ink everywhere. In the frenzy, Squidwin and TJ manage to escape and meet with Peter and Pen, who had a class together. They cross paths with the Octolings, and are only able to safely get out of the school thanks to Riri and Lima, who attack the Octolings to distract them from splattering more Inklings. Eventually, the six Inklings make it to Inkopolis Square, where the police force are prevalent with many Octolings raiding shops, including Jelly's Jellyfish Pizza Prince Pizzeria, Ammo Knights, Cooler Heads and Jelly Fresh. Another Inkling calls them over to escape into a sewer, and as they enter, Pen recognizes the Inkling as Callie, one of the Squid Sisters.
A dramatic escape scene ensues as seven Inklings run through the sewers away from the Octolings that are chasing them. Lima is caught by an Octoling and seemingly brainwashed. With Callie's help, the gang reach Octo Canyon, a small outpost which is very far away from Inkopolis.
Meanwhile, in Inkopolis, Squidwin's house is raided by Octolings. Aqua and Ruthier escapes to the streets, where they meet up with Crusty Sean, Jelly and Annie, who are making their way to Sheldon's underground bunker to hide, before Lil and her boyfriend, Klips joins in as well. Unfortunately, Aqua, Ruthie, Annie, Jelly and Crusty Sean are captured and brainwashed by Colonel Octavia. Lil and Klips, try running away, but Klips is brainwashed. Lil, heartbroken, decided to find help to save Klips.
In Octo Canyon, Callie and her grandfather Captian Cuttlefish explains to Squidwin, Pen, TJ, Peter and Rose that the Octolings have raided Inkopolis, wanting to steal the Great Zapfish. She also states that Marie, her assistant, has gone missing, presumably kidnapped by the Octolings. They enlists the five Inklings to become agents, working to foil the Octolings' plots. Their first task for Squidwin and Pen is to visit Pufferfish Cliffs to find out who is leading the Octolings. Squidwin quickly agrees to the idea of working with Pen, whom he has developed a crush on, although Pen is hesitant. Peter, knowing that Squidwin has a crush on Pen, convinces Pen to help their cause. She eventually agrees and they depart for Pufferfish Cliffs.
Meanwhile, the TentaCrew hides from the Octarains attack until they are been accompanied by the OctoCrew. Crush is about to hurt those OctoCrew, but of course, the leader of the OctoCrew, Octino, killed Crush with a splat by his ink gun, which lead to Plumma and Gippy barely makes a run for it until being caught and brainwashed by Octavia.
While at Pufferfish Cliffs, Squidwin and Pen meet Sparkles, an Elite Octoling fired from the Octarian Army and ditched at Pufferfish Cliffs because she was talking to Inklings in captivity and they believed she was a spy. who served as targets for the Octolings. She gives them inside information about the Octarian Army, including telling them that DJ Octavio, its leader, is planning to enslave the Inklings that survived the Inkopolis attack. Pen asks Callie (via phone) if Sparkles can join their group, and she agrees, but tells them that her squadron are moving towards Octo Gorge, where the Octarians are preparing the Great Octoweapon to use against Inkopolis. Squidwin and Pen decided to do the same but on the way, they are attacked by a colossal crab. Squidwin and Pen are tied up and about to be eaten when Sparkles uses her Octobrush to kill the crab and free them both. At this point, Squidwin and Pen realize they can trust Sparkles, seeing as she just saved their lives.
On the way to Octo Gorge, Callie's group, consisting of Peter, TJ, and Riri, find another abandoned Octoling. Rose prepares to kill her, but TJ stops her. The Octoling introduces herself as Sakura and she tells them her story, which is very similar to Sparkles' story. They let Sakura join, and then continue, later realising that Sakura was wearing Inkling gear, meaning she is on their side.
Meanwhile, Squidwin's group set up camp for the night. Over the campfire, Sparkles tells them that her older brother once died in combat against Inklings 8 years ago, and Squidwin tells her that a similar thing happened to him. Squidwin goes to sleep, thinking about his love for Pen, and hoping that his mother is still alright.
Colonel Octavia and several brainwashed Inklings return to Octo Fortress, where the brainwashed Inklings are told to seek out any other Inklings and capture them as well. Aqua, Ruthie, Crusty Sean, Annie, Klips and Lima are shown to be brainwashed. Octavia then goes to DJ Octavio for orders, and he simply tells her to locate any remaining Inklings and either kill or brainwash them.
The following morning, Squidwin's group and Callie's group meet up at Octo Gorge, preparing to infiltrate the Octo Fortress, after Judd and Lil show up outside the Fortress, attempting to rescue Li'l Judd and Klips respectively. Callie devises a plan for the entire group to split up into three divisions, to minimize their chances of being captured. The groups that are decided are as follows:
*Squidwin, Pen, Lil & TJ
*Peter, Sparkles & Riri
*Callie, Judd, Sakura & Captian Cuttlefish
First, the camera follows Squidwin's group as they attempt to reach the fortress' inner sanctum where they can find DJ Octavio. However, while they are sneaking through the castle, Squidwin and Lil begin arguing, which leads to them being spotted by Octolings. Squidwin is hit by their lime green ink and falls unconscious, but Pen is able to perform CPR to resurrect him, much to her own disgust. They then encounter, to Squidwin's surprise, Aqua, who is at first unresponsive. However, after they turn their backs, Aqua and Ruthie, who both has been brainwashed, ties them all up except TJ, who manages to get away.
Meanwhile, Peter's group ambush Loopus, who is giving orders to some brainwashed slaves including Lima, Li'l Judd and Klips. After Sparkles takes out Loopus, a brainwashed Lima sounds an alarm which causes Octolings to storm the room. They manage to fend off against most of them until Tento, one of DJ Octavio's henchmen, begins to brainwash them. Thankfully, TJ enters and splatters Tento, allowing to Peter, Sparkles and Rose to escape while more enforcements are called.
At the same time, Callie, Judd, Sakura and Captain Cuttlefish decided to infiltrate the fortress from the roof. However, they are quickly caught and brainwashed by Octavia. She orders them to find the other Inklings which are in the fortress.
TJ leads Peter, Sparkles and Riri to where Squidwin, Pen and Lil had been tied up. They are freed but when Aqua and Ruthie returns, they have no choice but to fight against them, much to Squidwin's dismay. They eventually manage to tie her up instead, while continuing to go deeper into the fortress. On the way, they encounter Saucer, another Octarian general, who captures and brainwashes Rose, Lil and TJ.
Now, the only ones that remain are Peter, Sparkles, Squidwin and Pen. They reach DJ Octavio's throne room, where Octavia tells them that all of their friends have been brainwashed, and they are next. The four remaining Inklings fight together against several Octolings, even defeating Octavia in the process. However, when DJ Octavio arrives, he is able to brainwash Peter and Sparkles with his music. Squidwin and Pen manage to cover their ears to avoid being brainwashed. During the fight against Octavio, he knocks over a fire lamp, which causes the throne room's large curtains to catch fire. Octavio orders all of his brainwashed slaves to evacuate the building, fearing that his army will be killed in the growing inferno. Eventually, Octavio is defeated, but a large steel beam falls from above, trapping Pen inside the room as the castle continues to burn down.
Squidwin rushes outside, where everyone has been freed from mind control, and calls out for help, saying that Pen is trapped inside the building. Sparkles, Peter and TJ leap to his aid as the four Inklings run back into the burning building. Sir Jacques and Earl show up to broadcast the fire on the news, while a fire fighting department, consisting of Crusty Sean, Jelonzo, Sheldon, Beako and Fins, try to extinguish the blaze.
Squidwin eventually finds Pen, and they find a way to escape through the air vents. Suddenly, a large portion of the castle roof falls, which causes Sparkles, Peter and TJ to evacuate. Squidwin and Pen crawl through the air vents to escape, although the vents are quickly filling with smoke. Pen falls unconcious and Squidwin carries her outside, seconds before the entire castle collapses. Sparkles comes to Squidwin, telling him that Pen has inhaled too much smoke and won't survive. Desperate, Squidwin tries to perform CPR on Pen, but it doesn't work. Tearful, Squidwin leaves the scene, but he suddenly hears Pen cough, confirming that she is alive. He hugs her, overjoyed that she is alive, and she thanks him for saving his life.
After several days in hospital, Pen is visited by Squidwin along with Aqua and Ruthie, after Lil and two of the TentaCrew, now redeemed, came to apologized to Squidwin for their mean act to him. Squidwin tells her that the Octarians were defeated and many of the Octolings, who were under mind control the whole time, came to live in Inkopolis. At this moment, Squidwin confesses his feelings for Pen, and she reveals that she feels the same. They kiss just before Aqua tearfully in joy gives her son a big hug. Then later a music concert celebration is held at Inkopolis, performed by the Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie), along with The Chirpy Chips, where all the Inklings, including Squidwin and now recovered Pen, along with the Octolings and other animal citizens dance to the beat before the film ends and the credits roll, alongside the fictional interviews with the film’s characters shown throughout.
A bonus clip plays where Octavio is moaning the loss of Octavia, he wishes that he can do something about it, suddenly an Octoling boy named Travis appears and walks up to Octavio and tells him that he's got a plan, they both laugh evilly and then the camera cuts to the credits again.

===Develpment===
In 2018, DreamWorks Animation announced an partnership with Nintendo for producing an animated film adaptation of the Wii-U best-selling video game Splatoon and its sequel for Switch Splatoon 2, according to Cartoon Brew. TBD.
During development, it was pitched to have lack of dialogue to the characters, only the narrator to be the exception, for being closely faithful to the video game which the characters make noises to their language, until it was decided to have characters’ dialogue after it was thought the concept would be pretty annoying throughout an hour-long duration. TBD. The staff of DreamWorks spent thier time playing Splatoon video games, toying around thier playable characters to develop the idea for the film's story TBD.
===Animation===
TBD
===Voice acting===
TBD
During the screen testing for a film, there were complains from the test audiance, including furious parents, over few words that used in the film, such as "crap", "douchebag", "hell", and "piss", which led the film's dialogue to be re-edited by replacing with different words and letters. The sound "b" was recorded and replaced the letter "p" with it to make a word "crab", and sometimes two letters "u" and "d" replaced "a" and "p" to make a word "crud". Lil's orignal dialogue was "Whatta a whiny douchebag he is anyways" at the Turf War scene, until three words "blooser he is" replaced "douchbag" to make a better sentence "Whatta a whiny 'blooser' he is anyways". Squidwin's orginal dialogue was "living hell" at the school scene where both him and Pen are discussing Squidwin's promblem, until the word "nightmare" was replace the word "hell" to make new sentence "living nightmare" despite his lip-sync dose not follow the alread siad word. And finally the word "piss" was replaced by two words "mad" and "angry".

==Trivia==
*It is DreamWorks Animation's first film based on a video game.
*The film takes the story elements between the first game and a second game of Splatoon.
*The animation for the film is an inspiration tribute to both the classic cartoons of the Golden Age of American Animation, especially Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera, and action-themed Japanese anime.
*In the game, Judd the cat didn't talk but meow with a subtitles, compared to the film version, where he does.
*The Inklings can be splatted on water in the game, while the film version, water does not affect the Inklings.
*All animals, except the sea creatures and Judd, are extinct, but the film version has all kinds of anthropomorphic animals in Inkopolis.
*The language of the game is not English but various sounds, called Inkling, while the film does have English throughout.
*Spyke is never used in the film, as he was originally planned to be added, due to time constraints.
*A Inkling who look like Mario makes an cameo.
*The animators and artist for the characters are Glen Keane (a former Disney animator) for a character design and supervising animation on Octavia, and Chris Sanders who is the storyboard artist and a character design for some Octaraians.
*In the scene where the Inklings are hiding from the mesmerized Aqua and Ruthie, Pinkfong's kids’ song Baby Shark is briefly heard on Lil’s phone rings as it’s ringtone, much to Squidwin and Pen’s annoyance by the song, before Lil turns off her phone and says, "Sorry. I can’t resist this cute ringtone" and Squidwin says, "Well, cute or not, nobody likes this song at all". It is the reference of how the song is hated by the public.
*In the scene where the Octarians broke into Squidwin's house and before brainwashing Aqua and Ruthie, Octino used his kick to break open the door to Lark's room and said "Here's Octy", that was a refence to "The Shining" where Johnny breaks down the door to the bathroom with an axe and says "Here's Johnny".
* The designs of the Inklings and Octolings are faithful to the originals, only with few differences such as the artstyle is designed to be a classic westernized cartoon, their eye masks are attached to their eyebrows than separated, the adult characters are sized as actual adults than same size as teen characters, and a child characters are designed to be an actual children than the original, where they are fully colored, designed by Charles Zembillas.

==Quotes==
(After the Turf War competition timed up)
Blue Inkling 2: Well, you can't get every medal into your hands...
Squidwin: If you two had been where you had supposed to be we might have had a chance...
Blue Inkling 3: She came out of nowhere! What was I supposed to do?!
Squidwin: Not get hit, maybe? You could see her coming from a mile away!
Blue Inkling 1: (taunting) Of course you could, Squidwin.
Squidwin: What's that supposed to mean?!
Blue Inkling 3: You were crushing on her, big time, dude. We saw your cheeks go red when she was in your face!
Squidwin: (irritated) Shut up! You're just trying to change the subject from the fact that you screwed this whole think up!
Judd: Ladies and gentlemen! Squids and all! The results are in! Li'l Judd and I have studied the area and we have decided on a winner!
(crowd goes silent)
Li'l Judd: And the winner is... With 60.3% of the arena covered in their ink...
(suspenseful silence)
Li'l Judd: ORANGE!
(crowd cheers)
Marie: (to Callie) I knew it! Told you so!
Callie: Oh, Sea Rats....
Marie: Now the pay-up you've promised?
Callie: (reaches her coin from her pocket) Here you go. (Marie takes it and laughs)
(camera back to Squidwin)
Squidwin: (furious) Oh, son of the Ink Gun! This's just perfect!! Of course! This is all your faults, you know! If you hadn't ditched me when I was cornered!
Blue Inkling 1: Chill out! It doesn't matter now!
Squidwin: (angry) Do you have any idea how much this game meant to me? This was going to be my big break, and you three ruined it!
Blue Inkling 2: Okay, okay. Let's not overreact...
Squidwin: (still angry) OVERREACT?! I'm not overreacting! The whole of Inkopolis was watching that match, now everyone knows what a loser I am!
(camera goes towards Sir Jacques, who is interviewing members of the Orange team)
Sir Jacques: So miss, uh... your name please.
Pen: Pen.
Sir Jacques: Miss Pen, thank you. Since you and your orange team had won in the Turf War, beat the blues, and won money, what're you gonna do next?
Pen: (thinking) Well.... I don't know. Just going home.
Sir Jacques: Everyone, give it up for Pen, the captain of the Orange Team!
Earl: Good job, girl. I was rooting for you all the way.
(Camera goes to the pizzeria, where TJ and Peter have finished eating their pizza.)
TJ: Do you think Squidwin will take losing very well?
Peter: To be honest? No. It's Squidwin we're talking about. He always wants to win everything. Life's a competition for him.
Jelly: Is that your friend in the Turf War?
Peter: Yeah, but he doesn't take losing very well. He's gonna be grumpy all weekend...

( Squidwin is unconscious from the Octarians attack)
Pen: Sqiudwin? Yo, Squid'! (snaps her figure at him) Talk to me!
(But Squidwin didn't awnser)
Pen: (facepalm) Oh, wonderful.
TJ: Oh, man! Do you think he's....dead?
Pen: Seemly, I can tell.
(All other Inklings gasps and TJ bursts out crying)
Pen: But, don't worry, all, I'll revive him (softly to herself) if only I can try. (to her friends) So stay back everyone, make room for a CVR!
(Pen takes a deep breathe and leans down twoards Squidwin's face to give him air, until Squidwin, turns out that he's still alive, uses his hand to pushe her head on him to give her a kiss, however this cause Pen, in anger and disgust, to slap him in the face and spitting out and gurgles her mouth with water)
Riri: Oh, goody! Squidwin is alive.
TJ: Wow, like, a miracle!
Peter: But that was really disturbing while he's done that.
Pen: (rubbing her mouth; to Squidwin) Yuck! Like wow, gross! That's disgusting! What was that for?! Why did you do that?!
Squidwin: Chill, girl. You have such a problem with your attitude. It was a kind of romance scene that every lovers can pull, though you aren't impressed?
Pen: Well, don't do that to me again, pervert, or else you'll kiss my fist! (to herself) Ugh! Boys! I can't believe I'm teamed up with this weirdo.
Squidwin: (to himself) Wow, sounds like she dose has some issues alright.

(Squidwin hears a sound as he gasps, and looks around in his concern)
Squidwin: (gulps; scared) W-wh-who there? Hello?
(a sound is caught Squidwin ears agian. Squidwin grabs an ink gun before walking off to investigate)
Squidwin: Uh, alright! I-I have this gun for my protection. Come out and show yourself who are!
(Then he hears a same sound again before turns to see the bushes, where the sound is coming from)
Squidwin: (points his gun at the bushes) If you're in the bushes, come out here! (but nothing showed up) Oh, so you won't? Well, fine, then guess what? I coming in and get ya! (uses his charge yell, he runs towards the bushes until went inside them to point his ink gun at the familiar figure, it is Lil)
Lil: (covering herself) Eeeekk!!! Please please! D-don't you even! Cut me some slack! I'm surrender!!
Squidwin: (slowly drops his gun) Wha'? Lil? What're you doing here?
Lil: Huh? (then looks to see Squidwin and smiles for her relief and begin taunting him) Well, well, well. Look who I came across eye-to-eye, Mr. "Squid-Whine" the "Blooser"! Ha ha ha! Boy last two days was very entertaining upon seeing you throw your tantrum like a Squishie on live! Ha ha ha ha!
Squidwin: (angered, he points his gun at Lil) GRRR!! You take that back, because you don't want me to my trigger to splat you up!
Lil: (angry) Whoa, watch it, buster! You have no rights to threat a girl like this.
Pen: (appears to Squidwin; yawning) Squidwin, like, what's going on? (sees Lil) Lil?
Lil: And look, a "Blooser's" new girlfriend. How sweet (giggles)
Pen: (angry as she raises her fist) Oooh, why you....
Squidwin: (halts Pen) No no no, Pen. Let me handel this. So, Lil, as I asked before, what's your story being here in Octo Valley, Lil?
Lil: I know you're going to ask? Back in Inkopolis, the Octarians brainwashed and captured almost everybody, including Crusty, Jelly, Annie, Aqua, Ruthie and my new better and favorite boyfriend, Klips. So I escaped to find help. An--
Squidwin: Whoa whoa, wait! Stop! Who's got captured by Octarians?!
Lil: Really? You're not even understanding or remember I just said? Fine! Let me repeat! Klips, my own new boyfriend who i--
Squidwin: No no no no no! You said "Aqua" and "Ruthie"!
Lil: You know them?
Squidwin: Well, duh, genius! My mom and sister they are.
Lil: Oh.... I don't get it.
Squidwin: (facepalms in his embarrassment) Argh! (calmy) Well, you said both Aqua and Ruthie got captured by those Octarians right?
Lil: Duh.
Squidwin: (facepalms in his anger) Oh, terrific, just terrific. Those evil octopuses is really gonna pay for that for stealing my only mother and sister! Ooooh! Wait until I--
Pen: Don't get rage, Squidwin dude, we'll get your mother and sister back, don't worry.
(Then Judd shows up exhausted)
Judd: Where can I rest?
Squidwin and Pen: Judd?
Lil: Mr. fat cat referee?
Judd: (to three Inklings) No no! I know you three are going to ask: "Judd, you too? What's your serious mission?". Well, same, my son Li'l Judd got catnapped by those Octarian weirdos and, me, going on my rescue mission until I came across you. There, hope you're satisfied. So can we please cut to the chase to our rescue mission for my son, (to Lil) your nerdy boy boyfriend, (to Squidwin) your widow mommy and little sister and of course the rest of Inkopolis creatures, okay?
Squidwin: (to Judd) Glad you know that already, becasue you're welcome to our team, tiger.
Judd: I'm a cat, you shrimp.

(Squidwin found Aqua)
Squidwin: Mom? Oh, so glad I found you! Are you okay? And where did you get this outfit from? (Aqua, who is brainwashed, turns to point a gun to Squidwin) Mom? What're you doing?!
Aqua: (mesmerized; to Squidwin) You're coming with me, Inkling.
Squidwin: Mom?! No, no! You-you're loosing your mind! It's me! Your son, Squidwin, remeber?!
(Squidwin dodge as Aqua blast an ink and begins to chase him around. Until Squidwin trips down much Aqua catches him up to finish him)
Squidwin: Please, don't do this! Is this how mothers do to kids like this! What've those Octo-Jerks done to you?!
Aqua: (mesmerized) That's nothing you concern, squid! I even don't remember any single Inklings in my life. I'm doing this for my duty and from orders to my master.
Squidwin: Who?
Aqua: (mesmerized) DJ Octavio, that's who. Now prepare to be splatted.
(Before Aqua can pull a trigger to splat Squidwin, a blast of orange ink shoots Aqua's gun which flies out, the camera quickly pans to see it is Pen)
Pen: Not today! Run, Squidwin!
(Squidwin gets up and escaspes from Aqua, who she grabs her gun and chases after the two, splatting at them. Squidwin and Pen dodges the blast and hides under the bridge before Aqua, not notice where they hid, keep running passing them)
Pen: That settled. You could've been killed out there, Squidwin. What were you thinking?
Squidwin: She's my mother.
Pen: What? That Inkling trying kill you is your mother? Why would you tell me firstly?
Squidwin: You never asked. Though she's not like her as my mom. But I notice those Octarians and Octolings did something unbearable to her, possibly alongside with my sister. I could tell. And before, I thought you mentioned me that they'd alright from them, huh?
Pen: Okay, okay, cool it. So I spoke too soon. Somethimes adults don't take care of themselves. But we'll figure away to unbrainwash your mom and your sister, dude. Don't worry about it.
