## Plot

The premiere match of the first round at Ranked Battle Cup commences, Team New Emperor; the King of the Turf War faces X-Blood, the Conqueror of the Ranked Battle

The match begins with both teams collecting clams and Army is worried about how Team New Emperor will be able to fight without Emperor! Emperor thinks they'll be fine. Squidkid Jr makes a power clam and heads to throw it into the goal, but Double Egg rapid fires at him by surprise. Team New Emperor might have lost Jr, but they don't give up, They fight Omega, Double Egg and Red Soled in an intense battle, X-Blood is good at middle ranged attacks! Laceless knew he had to help his team somehow, He goes around from one side of the goal and Prinz goes around from the other side, They are approaching the goal! and it looks like Team New Emperor will score! But Skull knows it won't work and Vintage cripples them! He is too strong and too fast from a very long distance! Vintage's weapon the Ballpoint Splatting is a unique weapon which a range that gets better the longer you fire. He makes perfect use of it.

Double Egg approaches Team New Emperor with a power clam and Team Emperor use their new move; "Kaiser Arrow!" to stop him, N-Pacer creates a path of ink and the other members are swimming in it!, and Double Egg is confused about the move, Then Squidkid Jr. leaps from the ink and fires at Double Egg, Laceless follows up and Prinz dodge rolls to the side and defeats Double Egg, a formidable opponent! Soon after, Vintage reminds the other members about their pride as a X-Ranker.

Team Newperor attacks with Kaiser Arrow but Omega defeats N-Pacer from the side, and Vintage defeats Squidkid Jr and Laceless with a rapid attack, Double Egg scores and Prinz goes to stop him, but when he gets close, Double Egg stops! Vintage tells Prinz that he won't be able to score a single clam! so Team New Emperor attacks with Kaiser Arrow once again… but then X-Blood surrounds and defeats them with X-Fall! Not even Prinz could not escape this mass assault! Kaiser Arrow has been stopped and an X has been carved onto the ground! Team New Emperor make a desperate counter attack, but they get defeated again!!

The time is up and X-Blood wins, (20,0) Team New Emperor could not score a single clam!! Vintage and X-Blood march away from Team New Emperor, leaving them in the dust!

Prinz and his team had never fought a team with such an airtight defence, and decide to do their best again next time! Emperor complements his team, which was quite unusual because Emperor calls everyone else commoners! Then, Goggles pantsed Emperor! From a distance, Vintage thinks that no one with a lighthearted attitude can defeat him just like Team New Emperor's, Team New Emperor decide to become stronger and enjoy Emperor's matches in the Ranked Battle Cup!

The Quarter Finals (Second Round) is Splat Zones and a weird team wearing helmets leaps towards Team Blueperor saying that they will defeat them!

**CAN Team Blueperor defeat them?**

**WILL X-Blood be stopped?!**
