The two part ways and go back to their sides to try again.
Warrior lowers his head, preparing himself "you can do this...your not just an inkling. Your a freak. And that's okay...You are Levi, the Warrior of the freaks." He opens his eyes and jumps down, rushing towards the middle.
Warrior makes it there quickly, using his inability to feel temperature to his advantage. He does this by skidding along the ground, which would normally burn someone, but not him.
Meggy shows up to the middle, spraying ink around herself to trip him off course.
Warrior takes that as a challenge, skidding into the circle and gaining momentum. He smirks and jumps, aiming at Meggy and shooting.
Meggy flies back, falling onto the ground.
"...shit." He walks over and helps her up. "Sorry Mrs. Spletzer!"
"Its a mystery to me on how Desti hasn't come home with broken ribs..." Meggy groans with a raspy voice.
"I guess she inherited strong bones from the wife...?" Warrior chuckles nervously, "We should.."
Meggy slowly walks back out, holding her chest in pain "Alexis, control your boyfriend, he's got pressure..."
"Boyfriend?" Alexis jumps, looking confused. "I-im not into him. The only ones here we should say that about is Eva and Desti!"
Eva and Desti separate their hands, not saying a word.
"Enough." Meggy smiles, looking at her daughter and Eva. "Who shall be next?" she asks, looking back at everyone.
"Hi!" One volunteers, their sibling looking confused at the one-woman decision.
"The pair of...twins?" Meggy looked surprised.
Millie raises her and her sister's connected wrist.
"Oh. I didn't see that. Well...it hopefully shouldn't stop you from trying." Meggy nods, determined to make it possible "after all, it can cheat the system."
The two looked surprised.
"Yeah. You can't separate, and you do everything in unison, so...really, it'll count as "one player"
Tilly and Millie high five each other, smiling "yes!"
The twins and Meggy walk towards the arena. The two twins strike a loud whisper conversation, Meggy slightly eavesdropping. Not to use against them, but rather understand them.
"Millie?" Tilly asks, looking at her sister with a concerned look.
"What is it, Til?" Millie asks.
"What if the higher ups dont accept us because were...well...freaks?" Tilly asks "and what about mom and dad? What will they do if we win? Lose?"
"I..." Millie sighs. "There's too many possibilities to account for, sis...we just have to wait until we see what happens. But no matter what happens, i'll have my sister by my side. Literally."
Tilly nods and hugs Millie tightly.
Meggy looks back at them for a moment, smiling and looking away. She found it cute that the sisters took positively to life.
The three walk in, seeing how small it was yet it still felt big.
"Millie...im scared." Tilly looks around, huddling closer to her sibling.
"Your anxious, Tilly...and thats okay." Millie pets her head "remember, we can do this." Millie promises.
Tilly nods "alright...but dont leave me hanging."
Millie chuckles "cant really let go."
Meggy listens from behind them, chuckling herself and walking over to her area.
Tilly and Millie pull out their dualies, Tilly clearly nervous about doing this.
She looks at her twin for emotional support, as her sensitivity has gotten them into multiple bluffs before.
Millie looks at her sibling, smiling lightly. "Dont worry, Til, I have your back..or, rather...your side."
Tilly nods and inhales. She looks down and faces her concerns, initiating the rush down.
Tilly looked around in a panic, ready to shoot anyone she saw.
Millie reaches her arm over and rubs Tilly's head with it, trying to calm her anxious sister from her antics.
The two keep going inward, getting to the middle.
They look behind themselves, just to be sure Meggy wouldn't sneak up on them.
The slowly looked back. "I thought she'd just appear..." Tilly jokes.
The twins look back to see Meggy charging toward them, cocking her gun.
The girls panic, Tilly immediately trying to run away, Millie freezing in place and preparing for impact, leaving a large gap between them.
Meggy passes right through this gap, hitting a wall. "FUCK" Meggy yelps as she hit.
The twins look concerned and rush to her aid.
Tilly kneels down and feels around Meggy's face, trying to identify any internal damage.
"None luckily.." she reports, lending the woman a hand.
Meggy slowly stands up, grabbing the teen's hand and getting onto her feet. "Thank you girls..." she smiles "lets move on.."
Meggy dizzily walks out and sees the last two, staring at Alex and Alexis and rubbing her eyes.
"Whats on with mom?" Desti asks
"Eh...heh....um.." Tilly looks at her sister, not knowing what to say.
"I have one more go before I pass out because of you kids.." Meggy rubs her head "but damn are the tricks powerful.."
"Does that mean me and Alex have to fight together?" Alexis looked surprised.
"I guess so.." Meggy sighs.
Desti mouths to Alexis "I'll have mom take her to the doctor tonight."
Alexis nods as she gets pulled towards the arena by Alex.
Alex only stopped holding her hand when they got to their section, pulling out their weapons.
Alexis wipes her hands off on her skirt.
"What? Think I have cooties?" Alex snickers.
"Oh shut up, edgelord." Alexis throws back at him.
They both laugh, rushing down to defeat the unbeatable, Mrs. Spletzer.
Alex and Alexis look at each other.
"Lets split up, corner her!" Alex suggests.
"Your a genius!" Alexis calms down and backs up "sorry"
Alex shakes his head and starts rushing around the other side.
Alexis sneaks around her respective side, squirming her way towards Meggy's side.
Alex looks at the environment around him, smirking. Within a few moments he was at the other side.
"Where are they?" Meggy looks around.
Alexis and Alex met up at opposing intersections. They smirked at each other, one seeing Meggy coming.
Alexis started running to gain momentum, then curled into a ball, letting herself glide and roll.
Alex hides in a clever area, awaiting Meggy.
Meggy stands at the intersection, both Alex and Alexis popping out with their weapons.
After a few choice moments, Meggy came out covered in black and pink ink.
"That was fun!" Alexis cheers.
"Hell yeah, you turned into a ball and ROLLED. No fucks given!" Alex cheers with her.
Desti looks at her mom , gulping. "SplatFreaks...were done for today.." She holds her mom by the arm, walking her home.
"...so whose getting blamed?" Alexis smirks, laughing.
