The Ink War Arc

The Ink War Arc is a spin-off series where a young female Inkling named Angela, along with her friends named Yuka, Emma and Charlotte join the Ink War. With the help from Meggy, they will try to win the trophy and create history in Inkopolis.

Episode 1: Beginning with a Dream!
Ever since Angela was a younger Inkling, she dreamed to be a part of the Ink War and win the trophy. One day, Off the Hook announced that the Ink War is coming to Inkopolis this year. With that being Angela's chance to finally participate, she needed to form a team in order to join. During the school day, Angela talked to Yuka, Emma and Charlotte about the Ink War, asking if they can join her on her journey to win the Ink War. There is one problem though. Participants have to be at least level 30 in order to join, which Angela is a lower level than that. Meggy then comes along to help them train for the Ink War and get to level 30 in time. On their way to Flounder Heights to meet up with Meggy, they bumped into a group of Inklings called the Shocklings who are also planning on joining the Ink War. The leader of the Shocklings named Rej had doubts that Angela and her group will ever make it to the Ink War, which seemed to anger them except Angela. Leaving Yuka concerned about Angela, her hopes to join are still high, so nothing can stop her and her friends from participating in the Ink War!

Episode 2: Order Up!
At the beginning of Episode 2, Angela recaps on what happened in Episode 1. After that, the viewers go back to Flounder Heights during the evening where Meggy helped prepare Angela, Yuka, Emma and Charlotte for the Ink War. Before training, Meggy first suggested a team name, which lead to multiple name ideas nobody can agree with. As a final result, Meggy decided to name Angela's team "The Brittle Stars." Once everyone agreed on that, Meggy had them choose their own weapons. Angela picked the Splattershot, Yuka the Splattershot Jr, Emma the Luna Blaster, and Charlotte the Deco (correction: Dynamo) Roller. The main goal for the Brittle Stars is to be able to shoot the targets; the beginning of training didn't have a good start. Yuka doesn't have the best aim, Emma takes too long on preparing her target, and Charlotte doesn't bother attacking the target since she's too confident on the weapon. At first, Angela understands that they were just getting started, but then the Shocklings returned to see the Brittle Stars' progress. Rej then purposely said that Angela's team can't do anything right since her team can't attack the targets, which seemed to begin setting Angela off. As the Brittle Stars continue to fail miserably on their training, she got to her breaking point where she ended up snapping at them. Once Charlotte talked some sense out of Angela, Angela got upset and ran off. She ended up sitting at the rooftop of a building alone with dark thoughts in her head. Voices of her own friends start saying, "It's all your fault Angela," until Meggy snapped her out of it. Once Angela told Meggy how bad she feels after yelling at her own friends, Meggy understood why she's upset, and explained to Angela that she dealt with the same problem as a younger Inkling (This is referencing to a YouTube video called "SMG4: Meggy's Bootcamp"). After the long talk, Angela apologized to her friends for yelling; they forgave her and understand her feelings. Once everyone was calmed, they went back to training for the Ink War. This time, Yuka, Emma and Charlotte got better at attacking their targets. Meggy decided to be done with training for the day since it was getting late. They only needed a few more days to reach Level 30, so they'll be ready by the time that happens.
