The green team have the ink to free the Rainmaker, but none of us are caught in the inksplosion, so we start with a statelmate. A Splattercolour Screen is a good way to break things, and moving around to try to find opportunity gets me splatted. The first splat too. I don't think the medal is for being splatted first, though. I return to my squidmates all getting splatted and the green team pushing the Rainmaker. I dodge some trouble, my squidmates return, and I just about squeeze under the shots of the .52 Gal for my first splat. I head back towards the Rainmaker and try my best to splat the Slosher grabbing it, and feel a little hard done by when they evade me for so long. And I get splatted by their final Rainmaker blast. So it goes.

We've got some work to do now. I super-jump back as the Rainmaker is reset, not realising I am jumping to the squidmate plummeting to their doom. I land safely, though, and start helping regain possession of the Rainmaker. I move around another Screen and try to sneak up on the .52 Gal, but I don't fool them, managing only a score-draw. But a squidmate got the Rainmaker to the checkpoint, which is good. I super-jump back and watch for the inkling who threw the Suction Bomb at me. They raise their head soon enough, but I miss a flick, and they are off Zipcasting around. I try to catch their landing, but the .52 Gal is too mean to let me stay there.

I return to the green team taking control of the turf, and sit back loitering for a while. I think I see an opportunity and leap at it. A squidmate gets there first, but that's okay. I push past and return to grab the Rainmaker and make a run. It looks like I'm going to get caught until a friendly B-bomb lands to engulf me. Good move! Except it doesn't evaporate ink flying in to it, and I am splatted anyway. Great idea, all the same. The map shows someone being irritating near our podium, no doubt the Octobrush and their Zipcaster, but they can be ignored. I move up instead, applying some pressure, as do my squidmates. I splat the Slosher as they splat me, and other splattings happen, while the Octobrush goes Zipcasting again, but a squidmate has pushed the Rainmaker further forwards, which is good.

We still need a few more steps for the lead, and we're in a good position to try for it at the moment. I can't risk a super-jump, but a far-ahead squidmate grabs the Rainmaker and dashes along the ready-made path, and steals the lead before I've even got half-way back. Nice! I move up to splat the Carbon Roller aiming for a squidmate, and aim for the Rainmaker only to see it dive off the Bridge. That's a shame, but my spirits are buoyed by accidentally running in to the Octobrush and splatting them, a feeling that lasts all of a second before the .52 Gal picks me off like I'm just some newb yet again.

I return to see the Octobrush not contributing to the battle and just building up for another Zipcaster, so I punish them for that, and turn around to catch the Carbon Roller as I pass through a Screen, and despite the fading colours manage to splat the Slosher picking up the Rainmaker. Nice! I hide from the .52 Gal, though. At first, at least. Then I think I stand a chance. And I kinda do, but the .52 Gal reminds me who's the boss. The colour returns to me, which is nice, and we have the Rainmaker. The Octobrush is zipping around again, so I wait for them to land, as does a squidmate, and we mete out some inky revenge.

Then it's time for the Rainmaker! I can see it through the monochrome, and I hide until the right opportunity comes. A squidmate pulling out a Crab seems to be it! I grab the Rainmaker, some splats happen around me, and then it's just a dash to the podium, behind a supporting squidmate inking the way, all the way up to the top of the podium for the dunk! Woomy! Or was it a dunk? Judd, in his wisdom, seems to think time ran out before I dunked the Rainmaker, which clearly was the not the case. Stupid cat. It's still going in my playlist of Rainmaker dunks.
