## Chapter Guide

Is this Inkling really as cool as everybody thinks he is? Or is Hivemind hiding a dark secret?…

## Plot

The next battle of the Final Splatfest begins with Fishskull, Crest, Aloha and Squidkid Jr on Chaos and Hivemind, Headphones, Gloves and Hachi on Order. During the prematch, Specs and Rider observe the two teams and they think they kind of look like one team who doesn’t study… and one team who does, which confuses Aloha and Jr. Hivemind tells Fishskull that he’s going to get a taste of the wonder of the Order and Goggles misinterpreted it as if Order has a flavor, Hivemind and Team Order saw Goggles and observes him as a goofball! Hivemind tells them that victory is assured and that they’ll win if his teammates move as he says with the power of his so-called order, and hypnotizes Headphones, Gloves and Hachi!

The battle takes place at Humpfish Pumptrack and it commences with Team Chaos moving and painting at a fast pace! Aloha and Squidkid Jr advance and Gloves and Eight who have the same eyes as Hivemind stop them in their tracks! They attack Aloha and Jr, but they couldn’t get them because of their super speed! Aloha and Jr defeat Gloves and Eight and complimented each other for their super speed, Fishskull and Crest see them prevail and decide to do their best… too and they dodge a long range attack by a Splat Charger wielded by… a mind controlled Headphones!! which shocks Goggles and Specs, She fires another shot at Crest but she dodged it, But Crest won’t be able to attack that for with a short-ranged weapon like her Dark Tetra Dualies! But Fishskull charges up his special; Booyah Bomb and strikes Headphones down with the bomb from such a low angle whilst grasping onto the ground! Team Chaos is strong, and Fishskull notices that Hivemind is smiling and knew that he was acting suspicious!…

Team Chaos pushes Team Order like crazy!! One minute remains in the battle and Order is in trouble! Hivemind decides to start and calls his teammates to start going, Aloha and Squidkid Jr keep advancing and Fishskull knows that something isn’t right and tells them to be careful, Then he sees Hivemind standing still! He was controlling his teammates minds to begin his counterattack! and Gloves defeats Aloha! Headphones defeats Jr and Eight defeats Crest, All at the same time! The spectators, and Fishskull’s teammates were galvanized by Hivemind’s tricks! He tells Fishskull that he’s been watching all his moves but Fishskull attacks him with a Burst Bomb! Hivemind dodges it and moves down onto the stage! Fishskull can now get him!… but his teammates shielded him from the attack and Fishskull took down Gloves instead! He knew that something is very wrong! Apparently, Hivemind has created a link with his team using radio waves! Anyone on his side will follow his orders to the letter. Perfect coordination, Perfect orders is what he thinks makes the ultimate team. Then all of Team Order defeat Fishskull through Hivemind Time! Hivemind thinks that he cannot defeat his ultimate teamwork, Anyone who is with him can be part of the ultimate team.

Team Order wins by an unlawful strategy and Headphones, Gloves and Eight turns back to normal, The rest of Team Blue, Rider and Justice came to see if they were ok, but they couldn’t remember what happened. Fishskull asked Hivemind if he was controlling his teammates, and Hivemind told him that he was only ensuring Order, He told him that ordering his teammates to make the right moves and leading them to victory, He thinks his commands will pave the path to the future, And Hivemind states that he’ll become the **GOD** of the Order World! Some think he’s dangerous! Goggles states that Chaos will create a world of pickled plums. Again, his team, Rider and Gloves thinks that he’s dangerous too! He explains that his idea for a pickled plum world is a world where everyone can live happily with pickled plums which makes everyone confused. Hivemind tells him that chaos is dangerous and decides to rectify it. Goggles replies with Bring it on!

Both Chaos and Order has won once and this Splatfest has become exciting! It’s going to be tough no matter who wins and Goggles impress Fishskull and Crest because he’s a funny guy! Specs and Headphones are horrified because they think that both worlds are scary!!…

**CAN GOGGLES AND HIS FRIENDS DEFEAT HIVEMIND AND STOP HIS MIND-CONTROLLING MAYHEM OR WILL INKOPOLIS SQUARE BE DOOMED TO A BORING, MIND-CONTROLLED ONLY FUTURE?!**
