Location: The Splatfest Arena - Inkopolis

No POV

After the gang finally got anime unbanned with the help of Axol and Peach getting kicked out of the throne as Ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, the gang are getting ready to for the Splatfest Games at the Splatfest Arena as Saiko is getting Tari a little pep talk before the big game today.

Saiko: (Claps hands) OK! RUN IT BY ME AGAIN

Tari: Uhhhh...My names Tari and I'm going to kick butt today.

Saiko: WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Tari: MY NAMES TARI, AND IM GONNA KICK BUTT TODAY!

Saiko: LEMME HEAR YOU ROAR!

Tari: Ahhhhh...

Saiko: (Face palms) Come on is that all you got? LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR!

Tari gets ready to scream louder but is interrupted by Boopkins running away from Mario and Jeffy who are both trying to blast him with a "Double Dong Gun".

Mario: Stay still Boopkins! Mario and Jeffy need to practice!

Jeffy: Yeah! Hold still so we can hit you for target practice!

Boopkins: NO! LEAVE ME BE!

Boopkins then tries to hide from Mario and Jeffy, so he opens a locker to find Bob reading manga.

Bob Bobowski: (Sniffs manga) YuMmY 2D TiTtY!

Boopkins: Bob?

Bob: Go away, I'm having Bob time.

Then Boopkins got shot by both Mario and Jeffy as he got distracted when he checked the lockers and found Bob hiding in one of them. Then we see Y/n, SMG4, Luigi and Ember walk into the locker room to tell them something went wrong.

SMG4: Guys! Have you seen Meggy?

Ember: She hasn't contacted me or Y/n ever since.

Tari: Huh? We thought she was with you.

Luigi: No, we can't find her anywhere!

Y/n: We even checked out her apartment and she was nowhere to be found!

Mario: WHAT!!! But Splatfest is about to start!

Jeffy: Yeah, how are we supposed to win the game without Meggy?

Saiko: Don't worry, she's probably just doing some training and forgot about the ti-

But then, just as she was about to finish her sentence, the bell rings for the four players to enter the arena.

Luigi: Waaah! That's us! We gotta go guys!

Boopkins: What do we do? We'll be disqualified for only 3 people!

SMG4: We'll just have to get a substitute while a bunch of us look for Meggy.

Saiko: Hmm... who should sub for Meggy?

Y/n: I'll take her place. I'm as good as in using guns anyway.

Mario: It's true. You should check out his weapons collection at his house! He got tons of gun inside!

SMG4: Good idea! Y/n can take Meggy's place!

Ember: In the meantime, we'll do what we can to find out where Meggy is at while you guys take care of the Splatfest Games.

Y/n: Got it. Alright guys let's get going! The game is about to start!

With that, Y/n, Mario, Luigi and Tari make their way into the arena to start the Splatfest without Meggy that suddenly disappeared without a trace after the gang got anime unbanned from Peach that also lost her status as Princess.

Luigi: Ahh! Who's going to lead if Meggy's not here...

Y/n: Don't worry about it, as long as we stick to our training that we did with Ember and Meggy, we'll be able to win this round.

Tari: Yeah! We'll be fine! Just stick to your training, right Mario?

Mario: I've sh*t my pants.

Y/n: That means he's got this in the bag!

Then as the gang are ready for the next Splatfest round, the Calamarie Sisters, Callie and Marie are announcing the next round for this year's Splatfest Games.

Marie: And we're on to the next Splatfest round. Ready, Callie?

Callie: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! In today's turf war, we have...Team Splatsquad!

-Splatsquad-
Mario, Luigi, Tari, Y/n (Replacing Meggy)

Callie: Versus...Team Octoposse!

-Octoposse-

Luigi: What?!

Mario: Ooooooh! This is bad!

Tari: Already!?

Y/n: You got to kidding me?!

Callie: ARE. YOU. READY!?

Purple = Octoposse | Orange = SplatSquad

Desti: (Looks at Team Splatsquad to not see Meggy) (Angry) Wait...Where the hell is Meggy?!

Callie: Now, go!

Desti: Ugh...whatever, Trash 'em, girls!

Then the Octoposse go to clean the whole place purple while the Splatsquad began firing the stage with orange ink the best they can, leaving Y/n to do all the hard work since Meggy is not there with them to participate in this year's Splatfest Games.

Luigi: Bang-bang (x2) Oh, yeah!

Mario: (Flies around with his Dong Gun)

Y/n: (Groans) This match would be easier if Meggy was still around to help us out.

Then we see Tari shooting the area with orange ink around her while two Octoposse goons are going to shoot her from behind.

Tari: Huh?

Then Luigi took the chance to take the blow for her like how an honorable bodyguard would do when the president was about to be shot down by an unknown assailant.

Luigi: MRS. OBAMA, GET DOWN!!!

Tari: (Shocked) Oh, no!

Then Tari became furious as she shot at one of the Octoposse goons, leaving one of them to escape after seeing one of her teammates get shot by Tari.

Tari: Take that!

Then suddenly, the Octoposse goon appeared from the high ground with a machine gatling ink gun as she is about to fire Tari with purple ink.

Octoposse 1: Suprise, motherf**ka!

But then Mario soon came in just in time as he appeared in front of Tari and began firing at the Octoposse goon with his Dong Gun.

Mario: Uhuhuh!

Then Mario and the Octoposse goon try to shoot each other, until they both ran out of ink to shoot with as the Octoposse goon turns into a squid to refill on purple ink and Mario tried to do the same thing, but he couldn't since he is only human and not like the Inklings or Octolings that can do that to refill on ink as ammo.

Mario: (Muffled) Mamaf***er!

Then the Octoposse goon turns back to an Octoling and Mario throws his weapon and flips the bird at her as the impact of Mario throwing his weapon at her, knocked her out.

Mario: Take that, bitch!

Tari: Oh! We might actually stand a chance!!!

Y/n: Woo! Way to go team, this is why teamwork is important! Let's give'em hell guys!

Then the gang has the upper gain against the Octoposse gang as they used their teamwork efforts to defeat the opposing team with one of the Octoposse goons sees a duck dressed as an Octoling before Tari shoots the Octoposse goon.

The gang then cheered in victory for doing such a great job in teamwork while Desti watches them from down below out of boredom.

Desti: (Sigh) What a bore...REVENGE TIME!!!

Looks like she hasn't forgotten about how the gang tricked her back in last two episodes when the gang got their weapons back from her and her crew and got arrested as well as being attacked by Jeffy and Tails Doll in their tank as she and her team began shooting at the gang as an act of vengeance before the four of them got sent back to the spawn point.

Y/n: Well, that didn't work out as planned.

Luigi: It's no use...we need Meggy here!

Then the Calamarie Sister announced that it's now half time!

Marie: AND THAT'S HALF TIME!!

Callie: What an exciting first match!

Marie: Looks live Team Octoposse has covered 70% of the map!

Callie: I'm sure SplatSquad will make a triumphant in the next round!

After the gang went back to the locker room, they knew that they couldn't win this

Y/n: (Growls in frustration) This is not going well. Meggy knows a whole lot about Splatfest, and we don't have the skills to beat Desti and her crew at this rate.

Mario: I hope they find Meggy soon.

Y/n: I hope so too, Mario. I hope so too.

But then, as the others made it back to the locker room, they had no luck in finding Meggy anywhere and they searched every place they could find that would lead to Meggy's whereabouts.

SMG4: Guys, we've searched all over the arena and other place she could be, but....

Boopkins: Guys, we can't find Meggy!

Tari: W-What?

Y/n: You kidding me, right?! This isn't possible!

Luigi: This isn't good something must've happened.

Mario then throws a bomb that sounds like a puppy to Bob out of anger.

Bob: Bro, what the heck?!

Y/n: Who would want to kidnap Meggy so badly that she wouldn't make it on time for this year's Splatfest games?! Who?!

Mario: IT MUST HAVE BEEN DESTI! UGH WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HER!

Desti: It wasn't me, you idiot...(Walks into the locker room) I've been wanting to kick her ass fair and square on the battlefield since she humiliated me last time. And fighting against your team with this handsome idiot in it is nothing but a disappointed.

Y/n: Hey! I was willing to take her place after we found out she went missing! Why do you even care?

Desti: Why? I've decided I'm going to help you idiots to find where Meggy is.

Saiko: (Offended) IDIOTS??? Why you...

Ember: Why should we trust you, Desti?! You stole our weapons just to get us disqualified from entering Splatfest!

Mario: And you chased me and Y/n after we declined in joining your gang!

Desti: That's none of your business. Now we're do we start looking for her?

Boopkins: We should start off at Y/n's house!

SMG4: Ugh, I guess it's a good place to start.

Y/n: Right. I'm starting to think that's something isn't right after we got the anime unbanned. Let's check one of the guest bedrooms at my house. I told Ember and Meggy that they can sleep in with their weapons in my weapons closet in case someone tries to steal them, but I remember Meggy said that she had to head back her to her apartment since she wants to be up bright and early for the Splatfest games. Let's go check out her apartment and see if she's ok.

Ember: Good idea. Let's go there first before we plan our next move.

Tari: Maybe she just slept in...

Then the gang went over to Meggy's apartment in Inkopolis as Boopkins rang the doorbell.

Boopkins: Meggy, are you asleep? (Notices that the door's unlocked for some reason) Huh, the door's unlocked.

Y/n: That's odd. Meggy always keeps her door locked. Something's not right. Let's go inside. (Goes inside the apartment)

So then, the gang went inside the apartment and searched every room to find Meggy, but she was nowhere to be found.

Boopkins and Tari: Meggy?

Ember: Meggy? Where are you?

Y/n: Meggy! Come out! Come out, come out wherever you are!

Mario: Hello? Hey, where did everybody go?

Then as the gang went inside another room, they were shocked to see the whole place trashed up as if someone broke into her apartment and kidnapped her during the night.

Y/n: Dear God...

Mario: Wow, Meggy's room is even messier than mine.

Tari: N-no...something really bad happened here.

Ember: Who could've done this?

Luigi: (Finds her Splattershot) Oh no...She left her weapon...Meggy would never leave her weapons behind...

Tari: G-guys...

She then pointed out something that she spotted on the floor that looked like Claw Marks that it looked like it came from a wild animal.

SMG4: Claw...marks?

Saiko: Meggy...Who the hell did this to you?

Desti: She must've been kidnapped...But by who?

Ember: Probably someone with a grudge.

Boopkins: (Spots something) Wait, what is that? Hmmmm....(Finds a clue) Oh, I knew it, Guys, look, an anime DVD.

Bob: Oh, wow. Meggy is secretly a weeb. Who knew?

Saiko throws a box at Bob in retaliation.

Saiko: You idiot, this was left by whoever took Meggy!

Ember: Yeah, Meggy clearly isn't a fan of anime, and this Anime DVD is definetely a clue to whoever kidnapped Meggy for whatever reason.

Desti: Well, it's obvious then...It must've been that anime dude you we're hanging out with...

SMG4: Wait... you mean Axol? No, it could've not been him. He's a good guy.

Tari: But then again....He is an anime lover....and he does hold a grudge against inklings to make fun of him...

Mario: It's true! It must've been him!

Jeffy: Yeah! That guy is so dead when I run him over with my monster truck!

Boopkins: But he helped us! He even accepted Bendy's ink from the Ink Machine instead of Meggy or Ember's ink!

Luigi: Oh no, what if he kidnapped Meggy because he wants actual Inkling ink?!

Ember: There's no proof that Axol wanted to kidnap Meggy for her ink! There has to be more evidence that will lead us to the kidnapper!

Bob: That's ridiculous! Would someone who likes waifus resort to kidnapping! (Notices Everyone staring at him) Why does everyone keep staring at me like that?

Desti: Good grief, you losers can argue here. (Brings out her weapon) I'm going to find that weeb and get some real answers.

Saiko: (Blocks Desti with her hammer) You're not laying a slimy tentacle on him. If it weren't for him, I'd still be in Japan!

Desti: Well, if you don't get out of my way, I'll send you back there myself!

Then the whole gang minus Y/n began forming into two separate groups to either believe Axol is innocent or Axol really kidnapped Meggy.

The Japan Trip Group: Axol's innocent!

Meggy's Bootcamp Group: We're looking for Axol!

Mario: CIVIL WAR!!

-Desti vs Saiko-

Desti shoots and Saiko hammers the ink with Saiko slamming her hammer down to create a mini earthquake that knocked her down.

-WOTFI: Civil War Edition-

-Mario vs SMG4-

Mario: Mario's gonna kill some bitches!

SMG4: Bring it on, old man, bring it on!

SMG4 and Mario fight the old way as they both began slapping like idiots until Mario gets an idea as he presses the Meme button.

Meme Button: Pingas!

SMG4 laughs from the sound of the Meme Button before Mario kicks SMG4 to the groin, sending him to the wall.

-Bob vs Luigi-

Bob: Dual wielding waifu jutsu activate! (Bob does the same thing from Y/n and Mario both wait for pizza episode) This has to work this time, bring me that green pickle ass, boi!

But just as Bob was about to hit Luigi, he just slides to the right, allowing Bob to his face and his ovaries to the wall.

Bob: There goes my overies again.

-Boopkins Vs Tari-

Boopkins: You're a very bad friend!

(Glass break Sound effect and Tari cries from the rude comment)

Boopkins: So sorry for saying that, Tari! (Runs off)

-Jeffy vs. Ember-

Ember: Are you ready to die, retard!

Jeffy: Oh, that's it! I'm gonna kick your ass ya dumb mutt!

Ember: (Offended) Mutt! (Transforms into his wolf form) I'm gonna kill you, ya ass-

Jeffy uses Bitch Slap on Ember!

Ember gets knocked down to the floor!

It's Super Effective!

Ember: (Gets back up) Ok! That's it! You're totally gonna-

Jeffy uses Hammer on Ember!

Ember gets knocked down to the floor again!

It's Super Effective!

Ember: (Gets Back Up) Alright! No more Mr. Nice w-

Jeffy uses the Chair on Ember!

Ember gets knocked down to the floor yet again!

It's Super Effective!

Ember: (Panting then slowly gets back up) Ok...I'm gonna-

Jeffy: (Raising up the Metal Pipe) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Ember: Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa! Stop! Stop! Jeffy! Just stop! I give up you win! Put the metal pipe down and let's talk this over!

Jeffy: And you kick me in the face! I'm not falling for that!

Jeffy Uses the Metal Pipe on Ember!

Ember gets knocked down to the floor one last time!

It's Super Effective!

Ember: (In Serious Pain) Ow....

Then Jeffy tackled Ember and started throwing Haymakers.

Ember: (Screaming) Get him off of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Jeffy: Yeah! Take these hands bitch!

-Saiko vs Desti Continued-

As the other continued to fight, Desti and Saiko are still standing as Desti uses her weapon as a shield to block Saiko's attack with her hammer.

Saiko: I'm telling you; you're wasting your time if you go after Axol!

Desti: You seem awfully defensive of him. Maybe you also had sonething to do with this!

Saiko: (Offended) WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF HARMING ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS! If it's anyone in here, it'd be you!

Y/n: (Angry) EVERYONE! STOP FIGHTING RIGHT NOW! Please, we should be focusing of finding Meggy! Fighting doesn't always solve our problems!

Luigi: He's right, guys. Fighting isn't going to get us anywhere.

Desti: If you want to ignore the clues then go right ahead. I got a rival to save. Let's Go Mayo. (Walks out of the apartment)

Mario: It's Mario! (Walks away with Desti)

Tari: Sorry, guys, but you have to admit, the clues really point to Axol. (Walks away with Desti)

Luigi: We won't hurt him, we promise. Bye bye. (Walks away with Desti and the others)

Ember: (Rubbing his head in pain) But there has to be some other kind of evidence that will lead to the culprit.

Jeffy: (Thinking) Hmmn....

Boopkins: Should we go after them?

Saiko: It's pointless, and we've already wasted enough time. Meggy's out there somewhere, and we're gonna go find her.

Y/n: Wait just a moment guys. I believe I found another piece of evidence while you guys were fighting that might prove to us that Axol is innocent.

SMG4: Really? What is it?

Y/n: (Pulls out a green scale) I found this scale on the floor next to the claw marks on the floor and I should scan it with my eyes to see who kidnapped Meggy.

Y/n then used his cybernetic eyes to scan the green scale and after a couple of minutes of scanning, Y/n was shocked after seeing the results.

Ember: What? What is it, Y/n? Did you find out who kidnapped Meggy?

Y/n: (Clenches his fists in anger) Yes...but you won't believe who is responsible for kidnapping her and I think I know the reason why...

Location: Unknown Location

As we cut over to a dark jail cell to an unknown location outside of Creation City and Inkopolis, Meggy soon woke up to find herself chain up to the wall as she is now locked by the person who kidnapped her and locked her up in a jail cell, where no one even her own friends can find her.

Meggy: (Slowly wakes up groaning in pain) Agh....my head...(Finds herself in a jail cell) Where am I? Hey! Is anyone out there?

The kidnapper opens the door and walks up to Meggy, catching her attention as she demands the kidnapper to know why she's chained up in a dark room.

Meggy: You?! Did you kidnap me?

The Kidnapper didn't say anything before leaving a tray by her feet and walked out of the jail cell and closed the door behind them, leaving her all alone in the cold dark room of her jail cell.

Meggy: HEY! GET BACK HERE!!!

She tried to get the kidnapper's attention, but ignored her calls to know why they kidnapped her as this arc is only just beginning and it's about to go from bad to worse from here.

Stay tuned.
