He wakes up the next day everything hurt. He slowly gets out of bed and does his morning routine. Hunter walks around still in a bit of pain. the others were out on a mission. The Pro-Inklings were making a ruckus again. Hunter just changes back into his normal clothes and heads back into town. He could hear the fighting going on in the distance. As hunter entered the main plaza it was suddenly filled with a heavy mist. This put Hunter on edge. the Jumbo-Tron comes on and its was all the Agents on there. They were laughing, and insulting him. Hunter was torn. he knew it was a trick from the other him, but at the same time seeing them say such thing upset him. "No...NO! this is a trick!" the other him shows up laughing. "do you know for sure its a trick? Once your away from them do they not have the chance to talk about you, and you cant hear them?" Hunter felt uneasy. the other him smiles. "Look deep within yourself and you know this to be true!" Hunter shakes his head, and runs away from the plaza. The voices of the Agents laughing growing louder and louder the further away he got. The voices, and the fog disappear once he bumped into Agent 2.
Agent 2 stands back up after being knocked down by Hunter. "Hey wa...oh...Hunter are you ok?" Hunter doesn't say anything he was unsure if what the other him said was the truth or not. Agent 2 offers her hand to help Hunter up. "Hunter you can trust me. I have done nothing to harm you." Hunter was still uneasy, but takes her hand. Agent 2 helps him up onto his feet before smiling. "What are you doing here out of uniform? the Pro-Inklings started a war to claim the whole city" Hunter rubs the back of his head. "no one was at the training facility so i went into town...then he showed up again." Agent 2 looked concerned. "What did he do this time?" Hunter doesn't answer. Agent 2 sighs. "I get you don't seem in control of your life, but shutting yourself off will only make him win in the end...I want you to trust me Hunter. What is it going to take for you to trust me?" Hunter doesn't reply.
Before Agent 2 could say anything Agent 1 comes over the radio. "They are hold up in the warehouse...something doesn't seem right. Agent 2 climbs up to the roof. Hunter follows behind using his splatterscope to get up to the roof. Once up there he could see the warehouse in question. Agent 2 looks over to Hunter. "Use your scope and tell me what you see...try and get a good view inside" Hunter nods and takes aim. he tries to get a good line of sight inside the building. "what ever is in there...there are quite a few bits of heavy machinery moving around in there." Agent 2 nods and relays the information to the other three agents.
After shifting to another spot he finally sees what it was. "Uh...We need to get away from here" Agent 2 looks at Hunter confused. "We have them on the run the remaining gang member are held up inside we cant give them any space to escape" Just as she finishes Four mechanized suits barge through the walls of the warehouse. the roof collapsed trapping one of them. the other 3 charged for the police line. Hunter runs from the roof, and Agent 2 was right behind him. Shortly after landing the building they were on collapses as a police car went through the building. The mechanized Gang member spots Hunter. "Somehow i knew you would be around!" He charges towards Hunter, and swing its fist.
Hunter froze in place. His life flashing before his eyes. Everything was slowed down as the other him shows up. He was standing next to the fist. "You going to just stand there? HA HA HA! I knew it your too weak! You know that feeling your having right now it..." He notices Agent 2 doing something. "Well karma is on your side this day." He disappears just as Agent 2 began pushing him out of the way. When he hit the ground he turns around just in time to see Agent 2 being sent skyward. "Damn missed...oh well wont happen a second time!" the other fist starts swinging around going for Hunter. He quickly rolls out of the way then runs down the street. The Mechanized suit right behind him.
As the chase went on the other agents had managed to bring of the other suits down. Hunter continues running around the block unable to shake the mech. The mech was shooting ink trying to slow Hunter down. after a couple of corners Hunter was back where he started and the path forward was blocked by the previous ink shots the mech had made. "Oh no!" He turns around just as the mech was about to punch him. he hears a car horn. The horn was from a car speeding towards them. Hunter spots it just in time to jump into the store window. Agent 2 jumps from the car as it careens into the curb strikes the side of the building then into the mech. The mech smashes the car, but this caused the car to explode. Hunter was blasted to the other end of the store pieces of wood glass and metal flying towards him.
Agent 2 sees the giant fireball about to engulf the stores nearby and charges through them. she finds Hunter in the back of the store. He had managed to get back onto his feet but he was in shell shock. Agent 2 grabs Hunter. "We need to get out of here now!" Hunter just looks at her confused unable to hear or understand what she said. When she pulls him towards the back door he followed. Once outside She collapses the ground her internal injuries were quite bad. Hunter had stood there looking at for half a minute before realizing what was going on. "Marie!" He picks her up and ignores his own injuries to try and get away from the fight and to someplace to help her.
Hunter runs into the nearest hospital. "Someone help this Agent is badly injured!" Doctors rush to there side after seeing how bloody Hunter was. once she was safely in the doctors care that's when he finally passes out from his injuries. When hunter regains consciousness it was the next day. Captain Cuttlefish was there. "Ah good your awake." Hunter looks at him worried. "Will Marie be alright?" Cuttlefish nods. "Your haste to her medical attention left you in worse shape than her, but thanks to you she will be fine." Hunter sighs in relief. "Where is she?" Cuttlefish points to the bed across from him. "She is still under from the surgery but she will be fine. Both of your injuries will make you unable to do field work for a while. "Was...my father injured?" Cuttlefish shakes his head. "No but he only a handful to come out uninjured. the rest its hard to say. The other agents also took a beating, but they are fine. Hunter nods, and closes his eyes wanting to rest now that he knows he managed to save Marie's life. Cuttlefish leave without saying another word letting them rest.
The next morning he wakes up because a nurse dropped a tray. "I'm sorry dear. I didn't mean to wake you." Hunter looks around the room and sees Agent 2 was gone. He just guesses that Callie helped bring her home. "Am i ok to go home?" The nurse thinks for a bit. "I don't know...I will go and ask the dcotor." She cleans up the mess and heads out talk to the doctor that was treating his injuries. A few minutes pass, and she returns. "Yes you can, but your parents need to come pick you up...want me to contact them?" Hunter thinks about this for a bit. "Yes please" The nurse nods, and goes to make the phone call.
