As the scorching Summer heat beat down over Inkopolis Square, inklings sat comfortably at their umbrella adorned tables, munching on burgers and hotdogs while enjoying their refreshing shakes from Crusty Sean's food shack. Pigeons and blue jays fluttered about between the tables on the hot, black asphalt, nicking any scraps they could find or were given before quickly bolting away from anyone who came near. A handful of the birds suddenly took off as one inkling in particular came jogging from the lobby area towards Crusty's place of business, the sound of her sneakers clapping against the road echoing through the bustling city square. Before long, she hopped up onto one of the bar stools Crusty had set up in front of his van and gave him a big smile. He gave a friendly expression in return and a simple wave before turning back to tend to the cooking food. "So, what's kraken, squiddo?" He warmly inquired as he turned his attention back to his customer. "What'll it be, Jouigi?" He reiterated, cleaning a glass awkwardly with a cloth, doing his best despite his unwieldy claws.

Jouigi let out an exhausted huff before wiping her brow and adjusting her hat. "I'll have the usual please! One deep-fried shwaffle and a main-saver lemon." Jouigi smiled and handed Crusty a few food tickets before he happily turned around and whipped her up a fantastic post-battle meal. "Always a pleasure for ya hun, here ya go! I put a 'lil extra sauce on there, I know that's how ya like it." Crusty put his claws on his hips and gave another jolly look before adjusting his glasses as Jouigi's tailntacle swished and wagged eagerly behind her. "Ooh, it looks lovely, thank ya!" She happily remarked before taking a big bite out of her food and slurping down some of her juice. Before long however, the loudspeakers positioned around the city square let out a brief high pitched whine as a voice came over, broadcasting to everyone in the street-side stores and eateries. "Attention everyone, the next turf war will begin in five minutes, all of those who wish to attend please enter the lobby area A.S.A.P, don't be a fish out of water now!" Jouigi's ears perked as the speakers fell silent, quickly scarfing down the remains of her meal before waving to Crusty as she ran off. "I'll be back later, save a spot for me!"

Among several other inklings, Jouigi ran into the lobby and awaited for things to get started, tugging on her shirt as the meal had filled up her belly quite decently. She let out a soft belch under her breath before once again perking her ears as a large garage like door opened vertically in the back of the lobby, leading to the arena. Half of the inklings went in one direction while Jouigi and the other half went in the other, heading to their respective sides as they nabbed their weapons from the walls and got ready for the coming battle. Jouigi huffed and wiped her brow once more as she grabbed herself a Splattershot gun and a couple Burst Bombs from their locations among the rest of the paint based arsenal. A large hologram board appeared in the center of the arena as cheering erupted from the stands and the voice once again came over the loudspeaker. "You all know the rules by now, but for those of you who've been ten leagues under the sea these past few rounds- The rules are simple! There are. No. Rules! Ink the most turf with your team's color to win, and do it fabulously! Ready... Go!" The speakers cut out as the two teams bolted from their spawn locations, two of Jouigi's teammates running off with paint rollers to coat as much as they could while Jouigi herself took to knocking out their opponents, blasting them with her Splattershot and chucking Burst Bombs around corners.

After several respawns on both sides and much inking, the match had come to an end as the counter hit zero. Jouigi panted heavily and flopped down on her rear in pool of green ink as she looked up at the scoreboard as it calculated the winner... Green Team had won with an astonishing 82.7% compared to the Orange Team's measly 7.1%, she raised her arms and cheered before flopping back into the ink with a sigh, closing her eyes in exhausted relief. About ten minutes later after having gotten cleaned up and gathering her winnings, Jouigi made her way back to Crusty's, hopping back onto her usual seat as she cupped her cheek in her paw and rested her arm around her plump bosom on the counter. "Hmm? What's wrong not feelin' too hot? Just spend a few minutes out here and you'll get warmed right back up." Crusty teasingly remarked, trying to cheer Jouigi up. "I'm fine, but I didn't do too amazing last match, I got really tired and couldn't keep up.. Hmm.." Jouigi slammed down five tickets on the counter "Two Double-Fried Super Shwaffles, two Run-Speed Tomato's, and a Swim Speed Apple, please! I'll show 'em what I can really do this next round, for sure!" Jouigi gave a confident look as Crusty took the tickets and whipped her up a rather large, hefty meal. Jouigi gulped down one drink after the other as she scarfed down her food, her belly audibly rumbling and groaning as her shirt began to ride up her distending paunch. By the time she'd finished her food her rather plump outie had become exposed, her shirt now far too small to even attempt covering her middle, let alone even reach her outie at this point!

Jouigi wiped the grease off from her maw and hands before letting out a hefty, satisfied belch. "Phew.. That should make this next round go much better! Thanks Crusty!" Jouigi smiled and waved before hopping off from her stool, blushing as she nearly tumbled onto the hot asphalt from her new weight, placing her paws on the side of her belly as she did her best to jog back to the lobby, trying to prevent her middle from jiggling and sloshing to and fro on her way there. As she awaited for the next battle a few other inklings took notice to her more.. ample figure, blushing and trying their best not to blatantly stare at it, some of them wriggling a tad as it loudly grumbled and groaned. Jouigi took notice and blushed hotly as she attempted in vain to tug her shirt over her distended belly which muffintopped over her sport shorts quite a bit. She sighed and shook her head before the door once again opened, allowing the inklings to take their respective sides and arm themselves to the tentacles. Jouigi huffed and panted as she found herself having trouble even simply making it to the end of the arsenal hall, forcing herself to press on as her shaking, and jostling belly rumbled, causing her to belch from time to time. The board once again came up in the middle of the screen and the voice rumbled across the arena with the eager delight of the cheering crowd in tow. "Ready... Start!" The inklings bolted from their spawn location as par usual while Jouigi meanwhile struggled to make her way down the steep ramps and deep valleys of the arena.

Minutes of difficult wobbling and fighting passed and finally as Jouigi laid against an ink-splattered wall, the match had come to a close. She looked up, beads of sweat rolling down her head and cheeks as she placed her paw on her glistening, shiny belly that wobbled to the touch. Her attire soaked in pink and green ink as the board calculated the winner... Green Team had barely scraped by with a win at 41% compared to the enemy team's 39.8%, they'd won, but just barely. Jouigi however felt dissatisfied, she could've done better and after she'd gotten cleaned up from the fight, she stomped out of the lobby and over to Crusty's. Slamming down at least one and a half dozen food tickets on the counter. "I'll take two of all the foods and each of these drinks please. I'm not gonna let the next round go like that last one." She pouted before Crusty gave a sigh and nod. "Anything for my new best customer." He turned and put together one dish after another, letting Jouigi stuff each and every one into her face as her figure ballooned and grew. Her shirt continued to ride up her swelling paunch until it was nothing more than an undersized bra for her colossal, jiggling bosom, her cheeks, now rounded, and doughy, covered in grease and sweat along with her multiple chins as her shorts stretched taut to fit around her now colossal rear and thighs. Her outie nearly the size of a basketball, glistening with sweat on the hot Summer day while she was forced to back up from the truck due to her more voluptuous figure pressing against the side of the van. Her stool creaked and groaned as her belly gurgled loudly in protest to it's absurd stuffing, sloshing and bubbling as Jouigi guzzled down another berry shake, and with that it finally could take no more. Her seat suddenly snapped out from beneath her, causing her to fall to the shaded pavement below, her entire frame jiggling and wobbling about heavily like an oversized water bed.

Jouigi huffed, panted, and let out a loud belch that scared off the nearby feasting birds as several nearby inklings paused eating to stare at the now hugely oversized inkling dragon, struggling to regain her footing. "Th- thanks Crusty, I'm sure this next round will be the best I've ever had!" She spoke, blushing as she grabbed hold of the van to heft herself back up, threatening to tip it over in the process. "W- woah, woah, easy there whaleling, any time, next time though I'll have to get out something a bit more.. sturdy, for you." He replied, causing Jouigi to blush brightly and attempt to peer over her bloated dome of a gut at the now mangled remains of the stool "O- oh yeah, erm.. sorry about that." The speakers once again roused to life as the high pitched whine came over them and echoed throughout the square. "Oh, I've gotta go, I'll be back after the match!" Jouigi tried her very best to jog, now restricted to a difficult waddle as her belly threatened to topple her over with it's bouncing weight after every step. She accidentally knocked over several other inklings as she made her way into the much smaller feeling lobby, every last one of them looking at her enormously bloated, obese belly as she panted and huffed. The door once again rumbled and arose from it's resting spot, allowing all of the inklings to dash into their respective sides.. all except for one.

Jouigi huffed and panted and blushed hotly as she'd found herself stuck in the doorframe, too wide and obese to even make it through the door, let alone the much more narrow tunnels to the arena's arsenal. She grunted and tried her best to make it through.. before then trying her best to make it free. She couldn't manage either or, and hung her head low with a sigh, ears folded down and tail drooped down in disappointment behind her, resting between her gargantuan, doughy cheeks. Suddenly a voice came from behind her, it was one of the other inkling girls from the food court that had seen the enormous inkling dragon gorging herself before. "You seem to be in a bit of a nasty spot here, lemmy help ya out." She offered, standing on the tips of her toes to reach over Jouigi's enormous rear and grab her tail, tugging and pulling as best she could. "B- by the way, I'm Matrix! It's good to meet'cha!" She cheerfully remarked between her tugs and pulls until Jouigi finally popped free of the door's grasp, allowing it to finally close. Jouigi stumbled backwards, causing Matrix to fall flat on her back as she waddled and wobbled before falling flat on her jiggling rump behind her. Matrix sat up and turned to Jouigi who was sniffling softly, a tear rolling down her cheek before giving her a big hug "Look hun, I've been watching you for a while, you've been doing twenty.. thirty.. or more of these matches a day. I know ya enjoy 'em but you're an addict, it ain't healthy. And from what I've seen.. you've been eating more and more of Crusty's "buff food" to try and deal with frustration from the matches, am I right?" Jouigi sniffled again and gave a soft nod, looking down at her enormous paunch as she groped it with her chubby paw.

"You've been eating because you don't enjoy turf wars.. you enjoy eating, dear! And I know exactly where you can eat all you want, for free, and in fact, even get paid for it!" Matrix remarked, putting her hands on her hips as Jouigi's ears perked with curiosity, looking up from her rotund belly and over to the smaller inkling. "Wh- what?" She inquired, pressing her doughy paws into her enormous gut. "You should try out for sumo wrestling, it's getting a lot more popular, and I think you have what it takes to be a champion, especially if you can put away that much in one meal. Plus it's much funner than running around in a war zone over and over, don't you agree?" Matrix smiled and gave a delighted expression before pointing past Crusty's over to another lobby a little further away. "Plenty of inklings go there to wrestle and see who can be the champ, but they don't got anything on you, and you get waaay more food from the tickets in there than you do from here!" Jouigi wiped her cheek and gave a soft smile before giving a couple nods "O- okay, I'll give it a shot!" She did her best to regain her footing with a little help from Matrix before being led over to the second lobby, her tail wagging between her enormous cheeks with excitement as the wonderful scent of food filled her nose.

"You ready for this?" Jouigi's new friend inquired, looking up at the looming dragon inkling. "I think I have been for a long time now." She eagerly responded, before the two headed inside together.
