Thank you for the review, Leafstar!
We will see if we get to know anything about that old lady...
Also, thank you OctoInkling75 for the review! I see you got a certain reference appeared in one of the previous chapters...
If you like this story, please let me know about it with a review.
Hun puffs his chest, as he turns into a squid: he slides forwards, going left and right. He jumps while spinning, towards the tall man's stomach. The squid passes through it, landing on a large door piece on the floor, cutting it in a half.
"What?!" Grina cover her mouth with both her hands.
"… you fools… did you ever wondered why I talked so much, while standing perfectly still?" He throws the knife, as it flips around: he catches the handle.
"Because our attacks pass through your body!" Mirii frowns slightly, doing a step backwards.
"Yes. However, when my knife will strike you… you are going to feel a really cold pain." The man turns around. "And you, little Squid… you'll be the first."
"NO! NOT HUNLEY!" Mirii stretches her arm forward.
The glowing kids look at each other: they nodded, as a burst of light explodes throughout the entire room.
"What the?!" The man covers his eyes with his left arm.
The darkness penetrates through the light. Grina had her eyes closed, while gritting her teeth: she blinked multiple times, before she felt something heavy was on her hands. The girl lowers her head, seeing a gun with a capsule positioned on it, horizontally. It was covered with a bright white light.
"What?! A Splattershot?!" She turns the weapon around, seeing each part.
"I have a Splat Charger!" Mirii was turning around her bright white weapon.
"Man! I never saw a Splat Roller like this!" Bars raises his weapon, smiling: it has a large roller cover on its tip, drenched with bright white ink.
Hun returns in his humanoid form: he looks at his palms.
"Listen to me now, Hun…"
The boy turns on his right, seeing his ancestor.
"Once he's covered in light ink… he becomes vulnerable." He points at the man, which was still looking at Hun.
The boy gradually opens his mouth: he nods two times, turning over the man and frowning. He shakes his head slowly.
"I can't believe you are able to talk… you kids sure had other surprises hidden away from my knowledge."
"Aaaaaah, shut up!" Grina holds the trigger, lowering her eyebrows and gritting her teeth.
The projectiles hit the man, as he yelps. Bars jumps, swinging his weapon over the man and sending a wave of light ink all over him. Mirii points her Charger over his head, while her finger was holding the trigger: she let it go, as the gun shots a line of light ink on his face.
The man was walking backwards, as his hands were covering his face, yelping loudly.
"Now… it's your turn, Hun!" The ancestor stretches his arm.
The boy nods: he becomes a Squid, sliding near the man, then jumping on his shoulders while spinning. The man exploded in blue ink, which landed on the armchairs, some chairs, the board game, the center part of the long table and the right side of the sofa.
"Yes! We defeated him!" Grina jumps, thrusting her Splattershot upwards, smiling.
"No, Grina! He's not done for!" Mirii's head was turning around.
"No?!" Grina looks over the girl, expanding her eyes.
"She's right." The ancestor floats a bit forward. "He's still here…"
So… this light ink is indeed effective… I was forgetting the feeling of pain… but that feeling will be soon forget again… because I have surprises too.
Multiple steps were heard, faintly: those were increasingly growing, in less than a second. Mirii looks over the door-shaped hole, with still pieces of the door on the floor.
"Watch out! He's coming from there!" She jumps backwards.
Grina and Bars run on the right side of the armchair, near the chimney.
SBAAAAAAAAAMMM!
Pieces of the wall were flying near the table, the central armchair and the sofa. One of the chunks, knocked down the small table, together with the slim vase and the flowers. A large piece of wood flew above a dot of blue ink: Hun emerges from it, as his eyes expanded.
The kids all screamed, raising their heads: a black spider with multiple red eyes on his head was standing still with 8 legs, 4 on each side. The spider was covered in hair, on his legs, body and head: he was almost touching the ceiling with his back.
"JUMP OVER THE WINDOW!" Bars sprints towards one.
The boy jumps over the window, rolling on the cold terrain. Mirii jumps over the window, landing on her feet, next to Bars. Grina yells, as she jumps the window, landing on her stomach with her arms stretched forward. Hun jumps out of the window, in Squid form.
SBAAAAAAAAAMMM!
The spider jumps out of the window, as the walls around it break in several pieces.
"HE'S DESTROYING THE HOUSE!" Bars raises his weapon, trembling and frowning down.
His heart was beating faster.
"NO, BARS! DON'T APPROACH HIM!" Grina stretches her arm over Bars, as her tentacles are pushed backwards for a moment.
His legs stretched forward, one at the time, as his feet sink on the terrain: they bend down, springing in thin air, while wind was blowing in the opposite direction, shaking up his tied tentacles. A battle cry followed the roller cover going down, towards the red eyes covering the large head.
A long hairy leg twists on the right, swinging horizontally on the left: the large nail impacts over the boy's stomach. He yelps, with puffed cheeks and expanded eyes. His weapon falls on the ground, as Bars flies towards the terrain, while spinning on himself, landing on his back with his legs stretched upwards.
Grina screams, sprinting over the boy, while her eyes were getting watery and her pants' tips were covered in mud. Mirii bites her lips, as she was holding down the trigger and looking at Bars. She lowers her eyebrows, as she raises her weapon, pointing the muzzle over the numerous red eyes.
BLAM!
The spider springs over the light ink line, landing behind Bars. The ground was shaking, as Grina tilts to her right, falling on her head's right side. She was gritting her teeth, as her eyelids were lowered: her irises move up, pointing at a large pair of hairy legs stretching upwards.
Hun bends down, bouncing very high in the air, leaving behind a large quantity of blue ink: he spins on himself, as he was directing towards the group of red eyes. As soon as the squid passes through them, those shut off. The stretched legs were still raised. Grina stands up, with her hands touching the cold terrain, then she run over Bars, picking up his hands and pulling him near the house's walls.
The red eyes reappear on his head, as the legs slam down: the ground shook a bit and the nail rose while leaving two large holes.
BLAM!
Light ink fell on his head, as the spider screeches: shards from the other windows scatter all across the ground, while the girls cover their ears and close their eyes. Hun jumps over his head, while spinning: it exploded in blue ink. Mirii gasps: the spider was standing still on his legs, without his head.
The spider turns on his right, towards Grina and Bars: she was saying something to him, while pulling him up on his feet.
"GET OUT OF THERE!" Mirii swing her left arm.
Grina turns her head over the spider: he starts moving his legs in their direction. The girl screams, taking Bars' hand and pulling him. The monster jumps on the house's walls, leaving out a large hole. The house starts leaning on the left, crumbling once it falls on the floor.
Pieces of wood, bricks and furniture were forming a tall hill. The kids were looking at it, with their mouths closed.
"No… the house…" Grina falls on her knees.
Two hairy legs emerges from rubbles, as their nails penetrate through wood chunks. Other two hairy legs emerged, one stabbing the back of a painting and the other one kicks a black piece of wood.
CRAAAAAAASSH!
The spider was up in the air: it has a pair of large wings on its back and a head with two large red eyes. The wings were making a very loud buzzing noise, as a strong was coming from them: the girls' tentacles kept going backwards, as they cover their eyes with their arm.
Bars was walking near the Roller, doing slow steps and covering his eyes with his arm. He picks it up from the handle, with both his hands. The flying spider stretches his legs backwards, tilting his body downwards: he dives over the kids, as they crawled down.
The monster impacts over some trees, pushing all of them down: from one hole, acorns fell on the ground as a Squirrelfish jumps out and sprints with all fours.
"WHY HE'S ASSUMING ALL THOSE FORMS?!" Grina frowns, as she looks at the spider flying up in the air.
"His desire to kill is getting the best of him!" The ancestors floats near Grina. "He's forgetting everything about his previous life, as his rage is giving him more power!"
The monster turns around, tracking down the kids with his red eyes. Bars lowers his eyebrows: he starts spinning on himself, going gradually faster, while stretching his arms. The weapon was slowly raising. The boy throws his weapon towards the spider, as he was diving down.
BONK!
The weapon impacts on his head, dirtying it with light ink: the monster fell on the ground, sliding on his belly until he stops.
"LET'S SPLAT HIM!" Grina holds the trigger.
Light ink comes out from the completely white Splattershot, resting on the monster's back. Mirii shoots ink on each wing: they fell on his back. Bars picks up his Roller, swinging it on the spider's legs. The spider was yelping loudly, as he was completely covered in light ink.
"HUNLEY! IT'S YOUR TURN!" Mirii turns behind, seeing him bending down.
He springs in the air, going higher than the trees. He tilts down, gradually getting faster: he was turning in different directions, until the Squid was falling towards the center of the monster. He starts spinning, impacting on the spider's back.
SPLAAAAAASSH!
A huge quantity of blue ink flew in different directions, resting on the kids, some trees and even on pieces of wood on the crumble hill's edge. Grina's eyelids were colored blue: she rubs them with her forefingers, blinking multiple times.
Hun emerges from the large pond of ink, as a humanoid. He looks around.
"Did we beat him this time?" He walks over Mirii, as his eyes rest on Grina.
She looks on her clothes: they were drenched in blue ink, as the sleeves were large and long.
"We are still like this, Hunry…" She raises her right arm. "He must still be around."
"Girl, how many times we have to knock him down?!" Bars opens his arms.
"He's already down, Bars." Mirii lowers her eyebrows. "I don't think it's truly possible defeating him…"
"But it's possible to seal him away." The ancestor flies up, looking at each kid.
Their weapons fly in the air, as a burst of light surround the Inklings: the other three ancestors are all looking down, with their mouths closed.
"He's now resting into a realm known as The Boundaries of Existence." The ancestor frowns a little.
"How did you know his location?" Mirii raises only one of her eyebrows, while folding her arms.
"We can sense energy… as far as that same land goes." He looks away, lowering his eyebrows.
Hun gulps loudly, trembling.
"Wh-what is this boun… what's this land?"
"It's an area composed by a black sky and white sand hills. We never went there beforehand, as voices keep talking about those bad news…" He looks at Hun.
"What bad news?" Mirii raises her eyebrows.
"We don't know them… however, you'll not be alone as we'll come with you. Since he's weak, all we have to do is trap him inside a Light Orb and send him away." The ancestor looks at the other ones.
They all nodded at each other.
"We are sorry for asking you such task… but we need someone able to hold him down, until the Light Orb is ready. We don't have much time."
Grina looks at each kid.
"Well, gang… is either this or having that guy tormenting us for the rest of all lives." She smiles, lowering her eyebrows.
Bars sighs loudly.
"I seriously need some sleep, after this…" He lowers his head, shaking it.
"I'm ready to seal him." Mirii nods. "No one is going to interfere with my perfect plans."
"I'm coming too!" Hun nods, smiling.
Mirii smiles at him.
The ancestors close their eyes, raising their arms: they kept spinning around, forming a white kettle, with a grate on the top of it. It was resting on the terrain.
"Thank you for your support." The ancestor smiles.
Grina nods, stepping on the kettle.
"It's time to finish this!" She grins, clenching her fist.
"Entering Final Boss mode!" Bars jumps, raising his fist.
