## Plot

Team Blue and Mitsuami are practicing at Scorch Gorge to prepare for the fight against Wireglasses, the last member of the Splatsville Hierarchy. They won against Ocho but the black labels didn't end there, They needed to fight Wireglasses, the strongest member of the Splatsville Hierarchy! They don't know much about him... Except that he black labeled Ocho. They meet Horn Helmet who asks them how they went with fighting with the rest of the Best 8 with everyone who is strong. Then an Octoling know as Shellmet comes from behind Horn Helmet. She was one of the Best 8 that Team Blue hasn't meet yet. She heard from Barreleye that Team Blue will be battling Wireglasses. Shellmet tells them that Team Blue can't battle him if they're stupid. Just like Barreleye, Shellmet doesn't like how the Splatsville Hierarchy does certain things. She wants to see how Team Blue can do with herself as their practice partner! Horn Helmet explains to Team Blue that Shelmet is just as strong as Wireglasses!

The battle begins with Team Blue moving up and painting towards the center, they are doing great. Shellmet and her team move to the center as well... and batters Team Blue down with their flexible movement! Team Blue respawns and Goggles moves flexibly. Shellmet's teammates rapidly fire on Goggles who think that they are not like them. Shellmet's movements are beautiful and lean. She takes down Goggles and she thanked her team for their support. Team Blue are struggling to move forward due to Team Shellmet's strength putting them in trouble! Shellmet's teammates are saying nice so many times to her! Shellmet throws a Booyah Bomb at Team Blue, eliminating all of them!

Team Shellmet keeps on painting giving them a big advantage, putting Team Blue in huge trouble! Shellmet tells them that they can't beat Wireglasses like that and to not just play Turf War, and to be proud of yourself and to take victory with the team as that's the kind of team that a noble warrior like herself is aiming for! Goggles misinterprets it for dust. Shellmet gets mad and tells him that she meant something to have honor for! Goggles tells her that he's proud of his team as they give him strength.

Both teams get really fired up and all four of the Team Blue members attack with Squid Surge but Shellmet defeats them as just coming out lined up isn't the best offense or defense. Team Blue comes back and Bobble Hat and Mitsuami defeat 2 members of Team Shellmet with a rapid attack. Goggles and Specs defeat another one. Team Shellmet are disbelieved as Team Blue are not messing around like earlier but they think think that Team Blue are still idiots. Horn Helmet tells her that they've battled with the other members of the Best 8. Shellmet attacks Goggles and he dodges flexibly and rapidly. Shellmet realizes that no matter what their form is, a team that never gives up and pushes forward together... And at that moment activated his TriZooka and defeats Shellmet.

Team Blue wins the fight with their "nobility of stupidity". Shellmet tells them that she heard that Ocho joined the Splatsville Hierarchy after he lost to Wireglasses. He was the founder of the Splatsville Hierarchy and a powerful enemy with a strength that Ocho went along with. Mitsuami tells Shellmet their power is that strength comes when they cooperate as a team and thanks her that they found that to be true even more.

After the battle against Shellmet, Team Blue can now battle to the fullest even against Wireglasses if they believe in their teams strength! They head off to fight Wireglasses in a major battle...

**WILL TEAM BLUE BE ABLE TO KICK WIREGLASSES OUT WITH THE NEW SKILLS THEY LEARNED OR WILL IT ALL BE A BUST?!**
