(Start in the lobby. SPIDER, INKURA, BRIDGETT, and HIRO are watching SHUMI raise her Stringer.)
Shumi-The string on a Stringer is actually a tube for transporting ink.
(She pulls the tube back. The canisters fill with ink.)
Shumi-When you pull it back, it pulls back the plungers in each of the canisters, creating a vacuum for ink to flow in through the tube. Then you release the tube, and...
(She lets go of the tube, shooting three shots of ink at a dummy. [NOTE: In this series, Tri-Stringer shots don't explode...yet.])
Shumi-Bam! The plungers snap back into place, pushing all of that ink out!
Spider/Inkura/Bridgett-Whoa...
Shumi-I made it for hunting for food while the rest of the clan was out at sea, but it's not bad for shooting battlers, either.
Hiro-My dad liked it so much that he made more to sell. He also made his own model: the REEF-LUX 450.
Bridgett-I want one.
Hiro-Then go buy one. What's stopping you?
Bridgett-Alright! I'm gonna go buy one! Sheesh!
(She runs out.)
Zaki-Isn't she on deck for the next battle?
Spider-Don't you have access to that information?
(ZAKI checks her computer.)
Zaki-You know what, I'm gonna put you guys on hold. I don't think Bridgett can make it out there alone.
(Cut to Inkblot Art Academy. SHIVER and FRYE are commentating.)
Shiver-Our next Tower Control battle is at Inkblot Art Academy.
Frye-The team colors are pink and green.
(BRIDGETT and SHUMI are pink. BRIDGETT has a Tri-Stringer of her own. HIRO, SPIDER, and INKURA are green.)
Shiver-The pink team has two Tri-Stringers. What do you think of that, Frye?
Frye-Tri-Stringer might not be the best weapon for Tower Control, but Shumi is the Stringer OG. There's no way she's going to lose!
Shiver-Ready...
Shiver/Frye-Go!
(The players launch onto the arena. BRIDGETT starts using tap shots to cover the home base.)
Shiver-Stringers are a strange weapon. While they're made to be a sniping weapon, it seems people like using rapid shots to cover turf quickly.
(BRIDGETT aims for the tower and fires.)
Frye-Of course, this inevitably leads to the feared...
Shiver/Frye-REEF-LUX missile spam.
(BRIDGETT charges her Stringer, looking to splat someone.)
Frye-But now's not the place for that.
Bridgett-Where are they?
Shiver-Does no one here understand how Tower Control works?
Frye-There are two Sloshers and a Blaster on the field. I thought for sure one of them would get it.
(A green Killer Wail aims for BRIDGETT she runs away, losing her charge in the process.)
Shiver-Ooh! Bridgett drops the ball!
Frye-I guess it is hard to keep your charge while running away from a Killer Wail.
