It was a special day at the beach with the Loud Family. After Lynn Loud Jr. won her baseball game, the family went to the beach to celebrate. All the family members were having a wonderful time, except for one. Lincoln Loud, the only son of the Loud family, was at a far distance of the family wearing a squirrel suit. After lying to his family about being bad luck, they banned him from family activities, boarded his room, and left him outside. By using a squirrel suit to sneak back in one of Lynn's games gave him the chance to prove that he wasn't bad luck. The family was relieved, but the damage was far from done. Now that Lincoln is allowed back into family activities, he has to wear the suit.

Lincoln started to feel very hot inside the suit, so he looked around and found a small cove to hide in. "I'm gonna go for a walk!" he shouted to his family. "Okay son, but don't go too far." said Lynn Sr. "And keep that suit on!" said Lola. Lincoln, giving the impression of going for a walk, went the opposite direction of the cove just to keep his family from noticing him. As he came back, he still wasn't noticed. Some of the beach residents even questioned why someone would wear a mascot to the beach. Lincoln sneaked passed his family and into the cove. He takes off the squirrel suit and leaves it outside so his family doesn't worry too much.

The young boy, drenched in sweat, takes a moment to catch his breath and drinks some bottled water he stashed in the suit. The water was a little warm, but still drinkable. Lincoln then begins to feel gloomy. "This is my fault." he said. "If I didn't lie to them like this, and just said 'no' to Lynn, none of this would've happened." Lincoln began breathing at a steady pace and looks up to an open hole at the top of the cove. Rays of sun shine on the young boy, trying to give him a glimmer of hope. "I wish I could prove to them, and myself, that I'm so much more than just a good luck charm." he said to himself.

Then, Lincoln looks to another ray of sun shining on something unfamiliar. It was an orange squid still alive and barley holding on. Lincoln feels guilty seeing that creature dry up, "Aw, you poor thing." He carefully walks up to the squid, not wanting to scare it. He scoops it up in his hands and refills his heart with hope. "No creature deserves a fate like this." he looks outside the cove to find the ocean, but there was quite a distance and a chance to likely get caught by his family. "If I go out there without the suit on, they'll catch me."

Then, Lincoln sees water reflection from behind a rock. He finds a small watering hole that looks deep enough to connect to the ocean. "Hmm, what an odd coincidence." said Lincoln. He takes the orange squid and places it into the water. Feeling refreshed, the squid takes it time and swims around. Lincoln smiles and begins to feel hopeful that the squid gets to swim another day. "There's always hope." he said to himself. He decided to wait until the squid was out of sight. But what he saw next was very strange.

As the ripples of the watering hole eased up, Lincoln spots himself but as half human, half squid. His eyes were outlined bold black, his white hair was replaced with what looks like squid skin, but his signature look still remains with three small tentacles sticking out. His buck teeth looked more sharp along with three more sharp teeth. Lincoln looked with amazement and confusion. "I guess I'm hallucinating from the heat." said Lincoln. He takes some of the water and splashes it on his face. He starts to feel refreshed, but still sees himself as a squid hybrid.

As Lincoln takes a closer look upon his reflection, a squirt of orange ink shoots into his eyes. Lincoln gets on back on his feet, blinded by the ink, and unable to see where he's going. "Ah! My eyes. I can't see!" He stumbles around the cove hoping to find the way out. But then, he stubs his toe on a rock and stumbles back to the watering hole. He trips on another rock behind him near the hole,and falls into the water, which then begins to suck him down.

Lincoln held his breath as he continues to descend into the water. He now thought that since no one knew he went into the cove, he may never be found. As he descended into the waters, he began to feel something change inside him. He felt his eyes change, then he felt his ears change. It wasn't long before he felt his mouth, and his head changed as well. As Lincoln's body began to stop changing, a bright light surrounded him and even leaked into his eyelids.

The lights in his closed eyes diminished into darkness again, and Lincoln was able to breathe mysteriously. He slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a hospital bed. He sits up straight to find strange food and a drink on his left. "Where am I?" he asked to himself. "You're in the hospital." replied a mysterious voice. Lincoln turned to his left to find a red jellyfish wearing a nurse cap and attire.

Lincoln was at first startled. "Hello." said the jellyfish calmly. Lincoln then darted back slightly letting out a small scream, knocking over his food and beverage. "A talking jellyfish! Please, don't hurt me!" he screamed. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy." said the jellyfish. Lincoln just sharply looked around for a way out, only to find a tentacle on his right eye. "What's on my head?" asked Lincoln. The jellyfish offered a mirror to Lincoln. "It's not as bad as you think. You're lucky you weren't hurt badly." Lincoln takes the mirror, only to find the results shocking.

Lincoln looks at himself to be his hybrid form of human and squid. "I'm half squid." he said. "Of course you are, just like everyone else in Inkopolis." said the jellyfish. "Inkopolis?" asked Lincoln. "That's the city that we live in. My name is Stingy, you were in pretty bad shape when you were brought here." replied the jellyfish. Lincoln was worried, "But I don't understand. How did I get here?" Stingy pointed to two creatures just on his right when a mysterious voice replied, "That would be us."

Lincoln looks to see an old homeless man creature along with another orange squid like creature just like Lincoln, only it was a girl. "Who are you guys?" he asked. "Allow me to introduce myself." said the old man. "I am Captain Cuttlefish, leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon." He then points to the girl and said, "And this is Citra, or as I call her, Agent 3." Agent 3 smiles at Lincoln and he smiles back. "What's your name young man?" asked Cuttlefish. "My name is Lincoln Loud." "Well then Lincoln, I want to say thank you for saving my life." said Agent 3.

Lincoln looks confused until he got a closer look. "You're the squid I saved in that cove?" he asked. Agent 3 nodded until Lincoln felt a sharp sensation in his head. "Easy kid." said Stingy. "Now what's the last thing you remember?" "I remember saving a squid from dying." said Lincoln. "Then, I got ink squirted in my eyes, and I blacked out. And when I woke up, I was in here." "So you don't remember where you entered the city from?" asked Agent 3. "No," replied Lincoln.

"Captain Cuttlefish, do you know how I got here?" Lincoln asked. "Unfortunately I don't." replied the captain. "I was out doing some food shopping and then went down the sewer line to my home. But before I could go any further, I heard a familiar noise outside. I saw Agent 3 along with you in squid form and then took you to the hospital." Lincoln had to stop him at that point, "Wait, did you say squid form?" Captain Cuttlefish nodded. "You are what's known as an Inkling: an evolved squid that has dominated Earth after rising waters wiped out all of humanity 1,000 years ago." Lincoln looked stunned. "As an inkling, you have many abilities that humans don't." said Cuttlefish. Lincoln felt impressed after hearing this.

"I'm sorry that I don't know how you got here Lincoln." said Cuttlefish. "But I'm truly grateful that you saved my friend's life without ever knowing her." Lincoln looked down with depression. "It's okay." Then, Agent 3 walked up to him. "But that doesn't mean we can't help you. You saved my life, so the least I can do is help you get around Inkopolis. If we find some way to get you home, I promise we'll get you there. Until then, you can stay with me and my team." "What do you say Lincoln?" asked Captain Cuttlefish.

Lincoln took a moment to think about this. "What to do? What to do? I'm stuck in 'Inkopolis' and I have no idea how or if I'm ever going to get home. I miss my family, and I can't imagine how much they'd miss me too. Then again, I'm stuck in a new city, with a new life. I did wish that I could prove that I'm more than a good luck charm. Maybe this is my chance. If I become a great Inkling, maybe I'll become a better brother to my family." Lincoln smiled and imagined hanging with Agent 3 and her team.

Lincoln carefully climbed out of his hospital bed and offered a hand shake to Agent 3. "I say, let's do it." Agent 3 smiled and shook Lincoln's hand. "Am I okay to leave Stingy?" he asked. "Sure, just sign these release forms." said Stingy. She gives him the clipboard containing the release forms, only for Lincoln to look dumbfounded that the letters looked almost completely gibberish. Agent 3 points to the line and Lincoln signs with his signature. Captain Cuttlefish gives Lincoln some attire that almost matches Agent 3's but with black and orange shoes.

Agent 3, Lincoln, and Captain Cuttlefish leave to hospital and step out onto the streets of Inkopolis. Lincoln gazes at the magnificence of the construction of the city. Some of the structures look like they're from Tokyo and New York City. "This place is amazing!" he cried. "I'm glad you like it." said Captain Cuttlefish. "What's that large fish hanging on the tower?" asked Lincoln. "That is the great Zapfish." replied Agent 3. "The Zapfish is the power source of our home. Without it, all the power in Inkopolis vanishes." "I'm gonna head back to my home, I'll see you later Lincoln. I might have something special for you." Captain Cuttlefish takes his leave back into the sewers, while Lincoln and Agent 3 look around the city.

Agent 3 was glad to show Lincoln around, "Inkopolis is one of the most famous places to host a tournament called 'Splatfest'." Lincoln was curious, "What's Splatfest?" "Splatfest is a huge celebration where we gather the best of the best to participate in Turf Wars. Turf Wars are competitions where teams of four go against each other and try to splatter our ink colors all across the arenas. The team with the most ink across the arena wins." "What happens if you get covered with the opponents ink? Won't you die?" asked Lincoln. Agent 3 shook her head. "We fight for fun in Inkopolis. And if we are splattered, we end up back at our spawn points unharmed." "Cool." said Lincoln.

Lincoln and Agent 3 head into Booyah Base, the main mall of Inkopolis. "Since I swiped away my food in the hospital, can we get something from the food court?" asked Lincoln. "Sure." replied Agent 3. They find a place called the Crust Bucket and order a couple of Crusty Seanwiches. Lincoln was impressed with their tastes. "What's in these things?" Lincoln asked the vendor. "It's an old family recipe." the vendor replied. Lincoln nodded at the mention of family.

Agent 3 and Lincoln shortly made their way to a shop called Cooler Heads. Agent 3 was a well known customer there, considering how much turf wars she won. "Ah, if it isn't my favorite customer. How are you doing today?" said the clothes vendor. "Hey there Annie, I like you to meet Lincoln Loud, a new Inkling to Inkopolis." said Agent 3. Lincoln waved to Annie and looked at her hairstyle, "Are you by any chance a descendant of a sea anemone?" Annie nodded. Lincoln took a good look around, but knowing he can't pay for anything, decided to look for future references. He spots a pair of aviator goggles with the strap the same color as Leni's hair. "I see you're interested in those goggles." said Annie. "Yeah, the strap reminds me of my sister's hair." Annie smiled, "Take them. It's on the house." Lincoln was surprised. "Thank you." he takes the goggles and puts them on. "They fit perfectly." said Agent 3.

The two exit the shop and explore more. "You know Agent 3, I would like to participate in the Turf War League. If I'm gonna be hanging with you guys, I should at least be a part of your team." said Lincoln. "That's a good idea Lincoln." said Agent 3."But, you can't go out there with out a weapon of course. I know just the place." the two head into another shop called Ammo Knights. "Sheldon, you in here?" Agent 3 called. "Just a minute." said Sheldon. He comes down from a ladder and sees Lincoln and Agent 3 at the counter. "Hello there, what can I do for you?" asked Sheldon. "Today is my first day of Inkopolis and I was wondering if I could participate in the Turf War League." said Lincoln. "Ah, first time playing turf war." said Sheldon. "The first rifle is free." He takes a rifle known as a Splattershot and gives it to Lincoln. He also gives him an ink pack for storing ammunition. "Not bad for a new Inkling." said Sheldon. "Thanks a lot." said Lincoln as he exits the store.

Now that Lincoln is equipped and ready for the Turf War League season, Agent 3 decided to take him to her apartment where she and her team reside. They head to an ordinary apartment complex, the hallways covered with ink and spray tags. "Sorry about the mess." said Agent 3. "No worries." said Lincoln. "My home is nothing compared to this place." "Is your home messy?" asked Agent 3. "Hard to tell, my family always makes a ruckus in our home." replied Lincoln. "How big is your family?" asked Agent 3. "I'm in a family of 13, the only son in the Loud family." said Lincoln. That answer made Agent 3's jaw drop.

The two Inklings reach the door and find two more Inklings watching TV in the common area. "Citra! You're back! Who's the new kid?" asked one of the Inklings. "Del, Ruta, this is Lincoln Loud. He saved my life so he's going to be a part of our team until he returns home." said Agent 3. Lincoln looked at Agent 3's roommates. Del is the oldest member of the team. He wears an old baseball cap and black and green headphones. He always wanted to be an expert sniper like his uncle so he's equipped with a charger. Ruta is the messiest member of the team. Her squid hair is much shorter than Agent 3's and wears a B-Ball headband. Her weapon of choice is the Roller because of her messy habits.

Del walks up to Lincoln and offers him his hand. Lincoln shakes it and Del says, "Welcome to the Citrus Bloopers. I'm Del." "And I'm Ruta." said Ruta as she offers a high five with her inked hand. Lincoln accepted it, despite the ink. "It's okay, you'll get used to her messy habits." said Del. "Come on in. Tell us how you got here." Lincoln felt included when he heard those words. "Well for starters, I'm was a human from a town from Royal Woods, Michigan..."

Lincoln began talking about his family to his new roommates. From his parents to his sisters in age order, to his pets and his friends. The Citrus Bloopers were amazed at how the human world behaved long ago. "That was amazing." said Ruta. "You're family is one of a kind." said Del. "I do hope you can return one day." "I just need to find out how I got here first." said Lincoln. Just then the TV played a song that caught Del's attention. He raced to the couch and smiled with glee. "They're on!" "Who's on?" asked Lincoln. "The one and only Squid Sisters." replied Del.

Lincoln looked to the TV to see two inklings dancing and singing side by side. The one that's lime green is named Marie and the other that's magenta is named Callie. Lincoln listened to their singing and music, he eventually began to dance like he would on one of the Dance arcade games. Del, impressed that he could dance, danced along with him. Eventually, Agent 3 and Ruta danced along with them. As the music video ended the four retired on the couch. "They were amazing." said Lincoln. "Despite being called Squid Sisters, they're actually cousins." "How do you know that?" asked Lincoln. "I'm a huge Squid Sisters fan." said Del in a quiet tone.

The day soon began to end and the team started to feel tired. Ruta, completely crashed onto the couch. Agent 3 went to her room to sleep. Del offered Lincoln to bunk in his room until he can return home. "Thanks for everything." said Lincoln as he drifted off to sleep. "You're welcome Lincoln." said Del. Later that night, Del woke up hearing Lincoln having trouble falling asleep. "Linc, you okay?" he asked. "Back home, I had a stuffed animal named Bun-Bun. He always helped me fall asleep." replied Lincoln. Del looked in his closet to find his stuffed sea urchin. "Here, think Urchie will help?" He gives Lincoln his Urchin and then he falls asleep again. Del smiled and went to sleep again.

The next morning, Lincoln wakes up to Del's alarm clock. Del and Lincoln yawned waking up their roommates. "Morning Lincoln." said Del. "Good morning Del." he replied back. The four roommates got together for breakfast where they discussed their plan for today. "Today's a big day Lincoln." said Agent 3. "How come?" Lincoln asked. "Because today marks the beginning of your training." said Ruta. "If you're going to be a battler in Inkopolis, you'll have to learn the basics of being an Inkling." Lincoln smiled and finished his breakfast.

At Sheldon's shooting range, Lincoln was at the ready with his splattershot. Agent 3 was at the lead with her team mates behind her. "Now Lincoln, if you are to be a battler, you must learn what it means to be an Inkling." Sheldon pulls out a chalkboard with the major facts of an Inkling. "Number 1, our abilities." Del began, "We Inklings have the ability to take form of squids. In our squid forms, we can swim fast and blend in our own colored ink. If we spray ink on walls we can swim up them as well." "And since we're mostly made of water, in squid forms, we can squeeze through fences, grates, and areas that are non reachable to ordinary humans." said Ruta. "And the best move we can do, is jump super high."

Lincoln was taking notes, learning more about Inklings. "Which brings us to lesson Number 2." said Del. "Our weaknesses. Water is the most well known weakness in all of Inkopolis. Since we're made mostly of water, coming into contact with it will dissolve us instantly." Lincoln wrote that down in bold caps. "Coming into contact with the opposing ink will make us explode." said Agent 3. "Another weakness in Turf Wars is falling off ledges." said Ruta. "If one of us falls, we instantly explode and return to our spawn points."

Lincoln nodded and took more notes on weaknesses. "But the most important rules in Turf Wars is to splatter the whole arena with our ink color, and get the highest score rankings." said Del. "We're given a certain amount of time in each battle, we make sure we splatter the opposing team in the process, and we keep our rankings high as long as we can." "Got all that Lincoln?" asked Agent 3. Lincoln finished up writing down in his notes and said, "Got it."

Now, Ruta takes out her roller and sprays orange ink across the shooting range. Del takes the form of a squid and shows Lincoln the Inkling's well known ability. Fascinated by this, Lincoln wanted to try. "Okay Lincoln, now concentrate." said Agent 3. "Feel the squid within you and swim." Lincoln closed his eyes and raced to the ink. As he jumped, he falls flat on his face. He didn't turn into a squid. "It's okay Lincoln." said Ruta. "You'll get it, eventually." "Until then, let's begin with basic battling." said Agent 3.

Throughout most of the day, Lincoln was training with the Citrus Bloopers. He shot ink from his blaster, threw ink bombs at dummies, dodged ink from his teammates a few times. He felt like he was getting close to swimming like a squid. "Whew, not bad for your first day of training Lincoln." said Agent 3. "Thanks, Agent 3." said Lincoln. "Usually, I don't get this fit back home." Then out of nowhere, the battle alarm goes off in Inkopolis. "That's our cue." said Del. "Let's get to Inkopolis Square." The team leaves the shooting range and head for the Square.

There, the Squid Sisters Callie and Marie were there to announce the beginning of today's battle. "Welcome Inklings of Inkopolis to today's battle!" announced Marie. "There's only going to be one Turf War battle for today, and we've selected two teams for this." said Callie. "Today's game is going to be the Citrus Bloopers against the Green Goopers." the two teams stepped forward and nodded with respect. "Isn't this exciting Lincoln? Your first battle!" said Ruta in excitement. "It's also our first battle since Citra left for a few days, and our last teammate went off to bigger and better things." said Del.

The two teams went to the warp pads to find themselves in separate locker rooms. The Citrus Bloopers prepared for the fight, while Lincoln was sitting in fear. Lincoln stared at his splattershot, and was worried that they might lose because it's his first battle. "There's nothing to fear, Lincoln." said Agent 3. "You're going to do great." Lincoln gave a small smile and got into his battle stance. "Let's do it." said Lincoln. But before he could exit, Del said two words that traumatized him back to fear. "Good Luck."

The team warped to their spawn point and find themselves in Urchin Underpass. Callie and Marie were seen above in the announcement booth starting the clock. The jumbo screen turns on and shows the whole map of Urchin Underpass with the time of 3 minutes. Lincoln was still a bit shaky, but Del placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. If you're in my sight, I'll protect you." "And me." said Ruta. "We all got your back." said Agent 3. Lincoln took a deep breath and got back in his battle stance.

As the buzzer goes off, the teams went all out covering most of the Underpass. Ruta is shown to make great time with her roller. Lincoln and Agent 3 were above ground covering up as much as they can with their ink color. Del took a sniping position overlooking the area where his team is. The Green Goopers were also doing the same thing their opposing team is. Lincoln felt like he was in a video game, but his fears made him feel like he was at war with a group of people he never met.

But his objective to win the turf war took over his fear, as he continued splattering the area, Agent 3 helped by taking out opposing players. Lincoln was able to do the same with Agent 3 and Ruta. Before they could make it to the next area of the Underpass, Agent 3 was splattered by a Gooper. Only for Del to snipe the Gooper back to the spawn point. The two continue their objective knowing that Agent 3 will return with them shortly.

Unfortunately, when Agent 3 re-spawned, Goopers were trying to cover their ink. So Agent 3 had to stay behind and splatter them back. Lincoln and Ruta were heading into Gooper territory and start splattering their ink all over their territory. Knowing that Lincoln and Ruta were there, Del had to change position so he could get a good view on them. Agent 3 held her ground near their spawning point. While Del was changing positions, Ruta was splattered by one of the Goopers. Lincoln felt all alone, but quickly knew that Del was watching him after he splattered orange ink near his position. But what Del didn't know was that he gave away his position to the Goopers and got splattered.

Now that Lincoln was alone, he continued to splatter orange ink at a slow pace. Then at the moment of truth, a Gooper appeared in front of him, and Lincoln splattered him as quick as he could. When he did, he cheered quietly. But he realized that his are was too quiet and he finished splatting the area. Then he realized that his team was in danger, and he raced off to his spawning point.

Lincoln looked on the jumbo-tron that he and his team have got 45 seconds left to win the battle. He had to act fast when he saw his team pinned down. Seeing his team's ink color, he jumped in the air. Then, out of nowhere, he turned into a squid. Lincoln felt like he was a speeding bullet running to aid his team. As he got close, he jumped out of the ink and splattered his opponents. Del, Ruta, and Agent 3 high five their team mate just as the timer went off.

The results were in, and the Underpass was covered with ink. Both coated with orange and green. The two teams stood by the jumbo-tron to see the results. It was a close call, but the Green Goopers won by 1.5%. Del smiled at their victory, along with Ruta and Agent 3. The Goopers cheered just as Agent 3 gave them a thumbs up. But when she turned around, Lincoln wasn't anywhere to be found. "Where's Lincoln?" she asked. "I think I saw him head to the spawn point looking upset." said Ruta.

Back in Inkopolis Square, Lincoln ran into a dark alleyway feeling upset. "No matter how much I try-" he said before he broke down into tears. Captain Cuttlefish came out of the grate finding the poor Inkling boy. "Are you okay there chum?" he asked. "Oh, Captain!" cried Lincoln. "I didn't know you were close by." Cuttlefish nodded. "Clearly, something's bugging you." He climbs out and sits next to Lincoln. "Tell me what's wrong."

Meanwhile, Agent 3, Ruta, and Del were looking around Inkopolis for Lincoln. They asked bystanders and shop-keeps, but they still struggled to find him. Eventually, Del finds Lincoln talking to Captain Cuttlefish. "Over here guys!" he called out. The three Inklings came to find Lincoln feeling a little better. "Why did you run off like that Lincoln?" asked Agent 3. "Because I thought I would be a bad luck charm to you guys." replied Lincoln. He tells the story of the events that happened before he came to Inkopolis. From coming to her sisters game, to lying about being bad luck, to being kicked out of the house, up to the point he was allowed back in while wearing a squirrel suit.

Del was a little upset, "That's terrible Lincoln. What kind of family does this?" "But that shouldn't matter." said Agent 3. "What matters is now! Lincoln, you're not bad luck, and it's not your fault we lost. We lost together, and when we lose, we train harder." "Besides, you changed into a squid for the first time." said Ruth. "That's quite an accomplishment." Lincoln smiled, remembering what he did. "Yeah, I did." "It's okay that you lost kiddo." said Captain Cuttlefish. "I've lost many matches during my youth, and over time I became a great battler in Inkopolis." "There's an old saying about failure." said Del. "Failure is the best teacher."

Lincoln stood up feeling better, just as the Green Goopers arrived. "Hey kid!" said one of the Goopers. "If this was your first match, I'm impressed that you got all of us at once." He offers his hand to Lincoln. "Looking forward to battling you again." Lincoln accepts his hand and shakes it. "And next time, I'll be ready." "Then, we'll have to be ready as well." said the other Gooper. The Goopers depart and Lincoln looks to his team with his head held high.

For the next few days, Lincoln and the Citrus Bloopers trained and bonded before the next turf war battle. While training, Lincoln learned different strategies to go against the opposing teams. He even made several modifications to his splattershot, increasing its rate of fire, accuracy, and damage rate at the same time. He practiced using splat bombs and hiding in the ink in his squid form. As he got used to his techniques, he knew it's only a matter of time to put them to use during battles.

Those techniques proved to be useful eventually. The Citrus Bloopers next match was against the Turquoise Tentacles. Two of their members were equipped with Ink brushes, the other two are equipped with ink chargers. As they fought in the arena, Lincoln used his techniques he made in the shooting range. He was able to fight off against them, scoring more points for his team. This gave Ruta and Agent 3 a chance to claim most of the territory. It wasn't long before the Citrus Bloopers were victorious for the first time in a long time.

The four teammates celebrated their victory in their apartment, with food called Schwaffles. "That was amazing Lincoln!" said Agent 3. "You sure gave those tentacles quite the surprise." Lincoln gobbled down his Schwaffle like it was pancakes. "What can I say, I'm the man with the plan." "Or in this case, the squid with a plan Inkin." said Del. "You don't mind if I nickname you Inkin?" Lincoln shook his head, "Not at all, Del." Then, there was a knock on the door. Agent 3 answered it revealing Captain Cuttlefish and two mysterious figures behind him. "Captain Cuttlefish. What are you doing here?" she asked. "I came to congratulate your teammate's first victory. Along with my granddaughters." he replied.

The two mysterious figures removed their large coats revealing to be Callie and Marie, the Squid Sisters. Del stood in shock and amazement. He didn't have the words to speak, he just pointed at the two singing sensations. Lincoln was surprised, "Captain Cuttlefish, are they-?" "Lincoln Loud, allow me to introduce my granddaughters, Callie and Marie, the Squid Sisters. The two cousins stood in their signature pose and said, "Stay Fresh!" This made Del collapse right in front of them.

Later that night, the team decided to turn in after Cuttlefish and the Squid Sisters left. Lincoln, now a full fledged Citrus Blooper, felt like he got his wish after all. He got a fresh start for a new life. But, still hopes of getting back home. He still believes that what transpired before all this was uncalled for, but he still loves his family very much and misses them every day. Before he could fall asleep, he finds a small length of thick strings. Remembering how he and Luna made accessories together, he makes one and ties it to his three tentacles on his head. "Dad, Mom, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily, Charles, Walt, Cliff, Geo, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, and Pop-Pop. Please don't worry, I'll find my way back home. I promise." And with that Lincoln falls asleep.

Lincoln has gotten his wish. But they say: Be careful what you wish for. Because everything has a price. Now that Lincoln is in Inkopolis, he's doing well and will continue finding a way back home. If only he knew where to start looking.
