When Twilight woke up, she was in bright sunlight. She saw a surface that was fairly reflective nearby and went over to see what she looked like. What she saw startled her. She was standing on her back legs and her front limbs now had five extensions each at the tips. Her hair had two long spots which had suction cups on one side. She also had some sort of tank on her back that was full of ink that matched her hair color. Turning around, she saw a gun of some sort on the ground, and a note on a short wall. She picked up the gun and discovered that it could shoot the ink from the tank on her back.
The note said: "Aim at the balloons to practice shooting your ink."
Twilight ran around and shot the balloons until they had popped. Then she proceeded through this apparent training course until she found another note.
This one said: "Turn into a squid and swim through your ink to quickly replenish your tank's ink supply. Ink is your most precious resource, don't run out of it."
Twilight saw that her ink was running low and turned herself into a squid. She swam through her ink and later noticed the tank was full again. She found other notes that told her how to swim up walls as a squid and how to jump as a squid. She later found another note that made her blood run cold.
"Watch out for ink that is not your color. You will get stuck in it. Shoot your own ink to cover enemy ink."
After finding her way to a strange pad on a high ledge, Twilight saw her friends coming. They looked similar to her, but had different skin tones, eyes and hair colors and styles. They had a brief reunion and charged a jump to shoot high from it. They eventually found themselves in a city square.
