Chapter 2: Fairwells

Cynthias POV

"Inkopolis? Hmm let me read that map" She grabbed the map from the wall. The Inkopolis descrption said: The Freshest City Ever! Inkopolis! Full of life and love for the community and inklings alike! Booming with color, the city is known for its amazing, aesthetic, atmosphere! Filled with shops and needs for all inklings like a gym! A amazing food court! 5 star hotels! And the most important of all, the greatest form of entertainment /news cast...OFF THE HOOK! Starring Pearl and Marina! So come on down for a vaction or to simply live here! Oh and did we mention our turf war league? Only where the best of the best wreck havoc! Are you fresh enough to take it on? Cynthia was blown away at what she read and was just jumping for joy at the thought of her son enbarking for this city. "Oh Leon!, this sounds wonderful!" She said with glee. "This is where ill be getting the best turf war has to offer and i promise you i won't fail"   "Fail? Leon, you won't fail, don't say that!" Cynthia said now hugging him. "Mom, i never said i am but i just wanna make you proud" he said with a slight grin. " And you always do, Leon, your the greatest son a family could have, and with an oppertunity like this?! Its as if it was a dream come true and now its reality" Said Cynthia. Leon was bursting with joy after hearing that and hugged his mother. Leon then checked the time for the train to Inkopolis. "Hm says here the train should show up at 10am" He looks at the time. "Oh look at that 9 o' clock....WAIT 9 O'CLOCK??! OH SQUIT! I HAVE AN HOUR TO GET READY!" Cynthia then rushed to grab his suitcase and started packing for him fast but effective. Leon dashed to his bathroom to comb his tentacles and brush his fangs.

Leons POV

Leon always kept his same style. His tentacles brushed back with a nice shine to go with it. His fangs were very white and clean and his smile said everything. As he continued to brushen up he started talking to himself. "Wow, never in my life would I imagine being in Inkopolis, playing turf wars for a living, hell i might be lucky enough to meet pearl and marina---" He stopped at his words as he realized something he hated so dearly. His insecurities. He always thought he was below average compared to other male inklings, so he thought his chances of meetimg Off the Hook were slim. Little did he know that he was actually more handsome then the average inkling and had always had a weight lifting side to him which brought out his muscles which weren't big but noticable. His chest was brawn and his shoulders stout. His eyes were a lime green with a slight sparkle in his pupils. His ears tiny but cute. And his smile could cure any depression. But none of that was important to him, what really mattered was how the hell he was going to get to the train in time! "Damn it! Ive got 20 minutes left!" Leon then ran out of the bathroom and shouted. " CMON MOM WE GOTTA GO!" "Sorry! Your new toy is p-pretty h-h-heavy..." Said his mother out of breath. Leon grabbed the charger mkII from his mother and straped it to his back. His breifcase was also filled with everything he needed to stay at a hotel. Leon and his mother both got in there car and raced to the train station.

Narrator POV

Soon they arrived in record time with 5 minutes to spare. The train was just pulling up as Leon had bought a ticket to Inkopolis using some of his prize money. The conductor was outside the train screaming "TO INKOPOLIS!! ALLLLL ABOOOOARD!!" Leon heard and looked at the train but then back at his mother. "Well, this it...i won't see you for a bit, im gonna miss you" Leon said saddly. "Aw Leon, don't be down! You can do this! Don't worry about me ill make lots of visits im sure, now, hurry! Before he leaves without you!" Said his mother. Leon stumbled a bit carrying all that weight but he was strong enough to pull through. He entered the train and found a seat next to a strange old inkling, with a hat that resembled some type of...team? Leon looked out the window to see his mother crying tears of joy for her son is now becoming a man. "PLEASE BE CAREFUL! AND DON'T FORGOT THE WIPES I PACKED FOR YOU!" screamed Cynthia. Everyone on board chuckled and snickered at Leons mother for what she had said. Leon just sunked into his seat with a face as red as a tomato. The conductor walked up to Leon and asked for his ticket. "Ticket please" The conductor asked. Leon handed him the ticket with a smile. The conductor noticed his face and chuckled. "You have a great smile young man, spread it huh?" Leon just smiled more at the compliment with people staring at him, causing a few girl inklings to giggle at his cute smile. The old inkling next to him was eyeballing him however. The train started to move as Leon was waving to his mother and vice versa. "Im gonna make you proud mom, im gonna make you proud" Leon said with confidence and a puffed up chest. The station was barley out of visibility and soon was out of sight leaving Leon all on his own for a while.

The train was very vibrant with all kinds of service and comfortable seats. The comms turned on and said " Inkopolis Station 250 miles" Leon sighed knowing this was going to be a long ride. The old inkling next to him was still eyeballing him, as if he was trying to study him, pretty creepy if you ask me. Then the old inkling spoke up. "Your quite the inkling arent ya?" He asked. Leon was confused as to where he was asking. "What do you mean sir?" Leon responded. The old inkling noticed his muscles and his determined face along with that Shiny Charger MKII on his back. "Thats quite the weapon you have there sonny, let me take a look?" The old inkling asked. Leon was hesitant to just hand it over so he made sure saftey was on. Leon gave the old inkling the weapon. "My my, a charger mkII...y'know my oldest grandaughter uses the original model, hehe shes a crack shot" the old inkling said. "Yeah? Tell her good choice" Leon responded. "Say, where did you get this anyway?" The old inkling asked. "Well i got it as a gift from my sister, i came from squidtopia, not as grand as Inkopolis, but you gotta start somewhere" Leon said. "Hmmm what a gift indeed, i bet this baby can splat 4 inklings in one hehehehe" the old inkling chuckled. "Yeah probably, say you wouldn't know any shooting ranges around Inkopolis, would you?" Asked Leon. "Ive got a range at my place son, why don't ya come with me ill give ya a tour and then we can shoot something with this!" "Sounds fun, and thank you thats very kind of you" Leon said with a smile. "No problem sonny" "By the way, whats your name sir?" Leon asked. The old inkling hesitated his full name. "Cuttlefish, and you?" "Spletzer...Leon Spletzer" "What a fine name young man, nice to meet you" " you too" said Leon. The comms came back on. " 200 miles to Inkopolis station" Leon was excited yet nervous. He had already met a friend and got a free tour of the city from Cuttlefish. (Maybe this won't be so bad after all) Leon thought.
