## Plot

The phone has unveiled his NILS Statue, a huge statue of a human head which he plans to take destroy Inkopolis Square and everything in it, Goggles asks the phone why would he do that, and the phone replied; “I am not a phone, I am Tartar, an AI created by a race called humans” He wanted to create a perfect world when Inklings and Octolings took over! and all they do is wage wars over minor deviations,They obsess over trivial fashion choices and Tartar decides they cannot have this world! He choses to create a new human world by using the NILS Cannon to cover the world in sludge so he can control it! Goggles asks him why can’t it be fudge and eats! Then Cuttlefish starts to get ridiculous. Rider tells them it’s chaos if there’s sludge everywhere and Goggles decides he can’t let Tartar destroy the city, He promised Eight that he’d play Turf War with him! They have to stop this and figure out a plan, Marina notices that the statue is absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy to shoot out the sludge! They need to block the sunlight. She tells them to cover the statue in ink… in three minutes before it’s fully charged! They can also use the Hyperbombs that Marina is working on! but they take time to prepare, She wants all of them to split up and start inking the statue until then! Pearl gets them fired up and hands them their weapons,

Goggles, Team Blue, Eight, Seven and Rider head to the statue but they are stopped by so many Octarians! Rider decides to take care of them while the rest ink the statue, They decide to split up and start inking and Marina provides the agents ride rails to get around the statue. Bobble Hat paints the chest and Headphones takes care of the neck. Specs paints the back and Seven takes care of the right arm, She and Eight were part of the Octoling Squad, Goggles and Eight will paint… **the head!** Marina gets Pearl to warm up her vocal cords for “you-know-what” and begins to warm up wi the Marina loving watching Pearlie warm up.

Tartar sees Goggles and Eight on the Ride Rails who thinks their attempt to stop him was futile. Then Eight stood on top of Goggles and they ink the head in an ingenious but fast way. Even Seven notices that Eight is having fun too!

Around 30% is painted so far and the agents have still got to ink, Rider is annoyed by the immensely large Octarian Army, The statue is too large, The hyper bomb isn’t ready yet… and to make matters worse, there’s not enough time left as 60 seconds remain! Tartar tells Goggles and Eight to give up and that this is what they get for letting your desires control you and leads them to war. They and their town… will all be blended to create the new world. AND… the world will be a step closer to perfection… Eight decides to stop Tartar and fires a shot of the Blaster at him, but his shot didn’t do anything. Eight couldn’t attack Tartar, but Goggles can! He called the phone and the energy level has decreased a bit… Tartar is horrified about who is Goggles and Goggles tells him that the Turf Wars bring them closer together, Eight notices that the Inklings do it right because they enjoy having battles with each other!

Marina deploys the Hyperbombs and tells them to shoot them and detonate them, Everyone detonates the bombs and the statue is almost covered! 10 seconds remain with one more hyperbomb left, Goggles and Eight rush to detonate it… but they both fall off the rail. Specs and Rider decide to launch them up and detonate the bomb on the last second.

100% percent of the statue is painted and the agents return to the helicopter. Tartar decides to fire the sludge using the energy he’s already charged up! Pearl decides to stop him with her super loud yodeling voice and her modded Killer Wail; Princess Cannon! She emits a super loud Boo-yaah! and the ray hits the statue, and it crumbles into the sea and sinks, Eight and seven looks at the lifeboats and saw their friends who came for them! Pearl congratulated everyone for protecting Inkopolis Square together! She takes them home while Marina and Cap’n Cuttlefish takes the Octarians back to Octo Valley. Goggles and Eight decide to play Turf War when they get back to town.

Meanwhile Marina sees the damaged phone and says that ever since the days of their ancestors… there’ve been times when they waged foolish wars but Marina’s sure… that the Inklings and Octolings can become friends.
