Chapter 2

## Plot

An outraged Rider is chasing Goggles through Inkopolis. As they both transformed to human form, Goggles was nude just like Chapter 1. Rider then smashed him with the Dynamo and started to pull his tentacles which was then noticeable by the other Team Blue members and people around them. Before that happened, Team Blue defeated Rider's Team Yellow-Green, and they promised that they will **NOT** lose the next match, but they did lose, which is why Rider was so mad. However, he decides to let it slide for this time.

Rider was watching a match which included Army's Team Orange, in which Army is part of the S4, shocking many people. The S4 are the top 4 S+ rankers which are even stronger than Rider himself, but he'll catch up to them soon!

Team Blue has gotten into a Turf War after the match Rider was watching. They think they won't fight Army's Team Orange as they thought it'll never happen, but turns out… they were! Army wanted to challenge Team Blue, which he sees them as a bunch of weaklings because they look ridiculous despite them being able to defeat Rider. Goggles tells him that everyone calls Team Blue weaklings. Army is a hardcore player who hates losing and believes winning is everything and it's not worth battling if they don't win. Goggles believes that battles were all about having fun, which shocks Army.

The match begins with both teams making their way to the high vantage points. Team Blue splits up and takes different routes to the high vantage points; just like they did in practice. Little do they know, that it's no use when battling Team Orange. Forge strikes Headphones and White Sailor batters Bobble Hat. Blue Sailor snipes Specs and Army beats up Goggles. Everyone on Team Blue has been hit and Team Orange cuts off all their routes! Apparently, Army collects data from all his battles and puts them down in manuals. It's like he knows all his opponents' moves! Army has developed a manual of foolproof tactics, the **Squid Net Manual!** Goggles and Team Blue use their Squid form to hide from Army's sight but he uses the Echolocator special weapon to find Team Blue. They try to escape Army, but they were struck down again! As Team Blue waits to respawn, Flounder Heights is being rapidly painted over and Team Blue is in big trouble! Army then orders White Sailor to use Echolocator in case Team Blue counter attacks. Team Blue are once again stuck with the Echolocator and they believe that they can never get away from Team Orange. Army says that his manuals are the key to victory and there isn't a move that he can't foresee!

Army sees Goggles eating curry inside a jellyfish's apartment and gets very confused. Goggles' teammates are worried that Army would come and get him, but Army doesn't as his manual doesn't have any data on curry and he doesn't know what to do when something unexpected happens. The rest of Team Orange starts to look for the data on curry and Team Blue realizes that Team Orange are all like that!

Suddenly the Echolocator has lost its effect and Team Blue decides to go for broke and give it all they got! Forge Octarian Jacket gets worried and warns her commander about the counter attack. Army told them not to panic and to use the Squid Net Manual to read their movements. Specs swings his Octobrush fiercely at White Sailor who gets grossed out by his attack style and runs away. Blue Sailor attempts to snipe Specs but Headphones snipes him instead with her Squiffer after swimming through ink, even though he thought she couldn't get him from down there. Bobble Hat repetitively sloshes ink and throws Burst Bombs at Forge Octarian Jacket, who is shocked at the unexpected moves Team Blue is doing. Army is having trouble reading his opponents moves and sees Goggles behind him believing that he would shoot him! However, Goggles is still eating curry thinking that it is his weapon. Army is very confused about Team Blue's tactic that's not in his manual. Goggles then shoots Army with the Inkzooka. The match is over!

Team Blue wins the match. Army lost and his teammates are crying because they hate losing; he couldn't believe that there was something that his manual didn't cover. Goggles tells him that battles are important because you don't know what will happen and his teammates kick his backside because he was eating curry and Goggles explained that he was trying to **curry** their favor! Army learned from his defeat and he and his team added the Curry tactic to his battle data which confuses Specs as curry isn't usually eaten in battle. Goggles tells them to add pineapple to their curry as it's good, then the two teams decided to eat curry together, and turns out the other S4 members were watching the match and were disappointed that Army lost, however saying that he is the weakest of them so it's not much of a surprise.

They have observed Team Blue through their battle and thought they're interesting!
