Alright, if you have some time and you are liking the story, please leave down a review even if it's something like "I like this story!".
"What..." Mirii's irises shrunk. "What my eyes are witnessing?!"
Grina was wearing a white overalls dress with faint black stains all over and large, light yellow shoes with scratches around it. Under her overalls, a checkered shirt with long sleeves, following a red and black pattern. Her face had black traces of dirtiness.
Bars was wearing dark blue overalls, with black stains scattered around and large black shoes: the left one had its sole sticking downwards and the right one had a large hole over the big toe, which was showing up a bit. His hands had a very dark tone and behind his overalls, a dark brown button down shirt with front pockets and long sleeves. Dark traces of dirtiness were present even more on his face.
"Nothing out of the ordinary: just two fresh kids who kick smart butts for a job." Grina chuckles, as her face turns over Bars.
"Yeah! Like, darn straight!" He points his right forefinger over Mirii, as his left eye closed. "Can't wait to bust that chick with some Squiddin'!"
Mirii frowns a lot, while her eyes expands and her irises shrink. Her fists are clenching, more smoke was coming out from her ears.
"YOU TWO ARE BEGGING TO WATCH ME USING PSYCHOLOGICAL METHODS OVER YOUR FOOLISH HEADS!" Her teeth were gritting, her fangs exposed.
"Psy…" Grina squeezes her eyes a bit, shaking her head quickly and leaning her neck forward. "Pfff! Are you coming from some old dusty book?!"
"More like from an old dusty library!" Bars rose his right forefinger, smiling a lot.
The two floating Inklings laugh loudly: Grina holds her stomach, as her legs kept kicking in the air and her eyes were closed, while Bars leans backwards slightly. Mirii was shaking, as smoke kept coming out in more quantity. Veins were almost covering her entire forehead.
"YOUR INSULTS ARE AS PATHETIC AS YOUR POSSIBILITY TO EVER ACHIEVE ANYTHING, GRINA!" Mirii stomps her right foot.
Hun was waving back and forth, as his arms kept moving around quickly and his eyes grew instantly.
"Huh?!" The small girl opens her eyes, pointed over Mirii. "You called me Grina?!" Her mouth was left open.
"YES, YOU IDIOT! YOUR NAME IS DEFINITIVELY GRINA! WHAT ARE"
Suddenly, Mirii's eyes shrunk to normal size. Veins were all retreating inside and her mouth was catching some air.
"Wait… why are you responding in such unexplainable way?" Her left foot slides backwards a little. "Almost like someone would answer, the first time they encounter a stranger…"
"Yeah, that shorty brain of yours asked a good question…" Grina turns over Bars, as her eyebrows rose. "What's going on with this pile of losing tentacles, Barsy?"
"Beats me with a splat, girl!" His head turns over the girl, while moving his right hand up and down. "Maybe you crushed this ant in the no-mattering time."
"ANT TO WHO, BARS?!" Mirii snorted, as her arms were folded. "You must stand in tiptoes in order to watch my sharper eyes."
"You kidding!" Grina stares down Mirii, with her eyes large. "Are you cheating your way with some alien mind-reading shenanigans?!"
"Girl, like you gave her the answer before…" Bars shrugs, as his mouth downturns.
"Because I called you Barsy! Not Bars!" Grina turns around, knocking the boy's forehead with her right fist, while frowning a little. "Don't become the joke on me, big boy!" Her wrists fall on her hips.
"Whoa, like… sorry to the max!" His right hand massages a faint, red stain on his forehead.
Grina smiles.
"Now, now… getting crocodile-sad makes you drier than the Coal Mines themselves! After all…" Slowly, she turns over Mirii, grinning and folding her arms. "So what she knows our cards?! Her deck makes her barking more boring stuff!"
"False!" Mirii's left foot slides forward, while her frown shows up. "My hand hides intelligent cards, which would allow my perfect play reach the winning status."
"Oooooh, really…" Grina's wrists fell on her hips, while her legs opened and her eyelids lowered to the middle. Her grin and down eyebrows gradually grew. "Then, how about you show this unimpressed audience some army, hmmmm?"
Her eyes rest on Hun, while he was frowning a bit.
"Or that skinny dude is suppose to lead out all your entire fun?" She giggles, while closing her eyes and covering her mouth with her left hand.
"HIS SHAPE ALREADY REACHED HIGH LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE!" Mirii's teeth appeared pointy, while talking and frowning a lot. "Stop trying to impose untrue evidences and admit your incompetence to properly duel with top fighters!"
"Top fighters my butt, girl!" Bars turns behind, whistling loudly. "Like, you are already splatted!" He returns, grinning and folding his arms.
From the houses' doors, behind the house walls and bushes… multiple Coal Creations were slowly marching towards the two young Inklings. There were many male and female Inklings, some had a younger appearance.
Mirii and Hun walked backwards, stopping some feet away from more than 30 Coal Creations: some were showing their teeth, others were tilting their heads.
"Hmpf!" A clear sweat appears on the right side of Mirii's forehead. Her eyes kept bouncing left and right. "So, this confirms that you are the childish responsible behind the Coal Creations' appearance."
"Right on, girl!" Bars nods. "Like, you should find some ink and hide in like bugs!"
"Naaah, that's too lame Barsy…" Grina bends her back forward, as her smile grows. "I want to see some punches and kicks, with a mix of teeth flying off!"
"Yeah! Awesome!" The boy strikes a punch upwards. "Like, she's getting flattened together with that other silent idiot!"
"GRRRRR!" Mirii's fists were shaking, smoke was coming out from her ears, veins were raising from her forehead, teeth were gritted to the extreme. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TWO IMBECILES?! WHY YOUR MOUTH IS SHOUTING MESSAGES OF VIOLENCE?!"
"Because you are out." Grina sticks her tongue, as her right thumb flips downwards. "You stink too much with those book breathes and our name information."
"AND YOU SMELL WITH AN OVERDOSE OF INFANTILITY!" Mirii stomps her right foot. "Those mindless creatures are going to admire the stars from the strength of my kicks! Hunley will stop your flight advantage, so my slaps could finally meet your cheeks!"
"Hunley?! Is that his name?! Pffff!" Grina's cheek puffed, while her left hand covered her mouth.
Grina laughs very loudly, grabbing her stomach and kicking the air. Bars was chuckling a bit, as his eyes were staring at Hun. Suddenly, the small girl moves to the left as a square-shaped, black item flew ahead. Her face turned into a slight frown, as her eyelids were in the middle and her mouth was open an inch. She stands still with her arms on her sides, looking towards Mirii.
"Looks like the games are history." She nods faintly, while inhaling with her nose loudly. Her right arm stretches forward, same for her forefinger "GET HER! NOW!"
The Coal Creations were all moving in a fast pace, with their arms open, crying a loud growl. The two Inklings walked backwards, then turned behind. The old man was holding a ball of ink, which he throws above them. The Inklings turned: the ball drenching in ink fell on a female Inkling's chest, as the creature screamed and impacted on the ground. The monsters stop, trembling.
"Step aside." From the man's left hand another ball of ink was forming. "I decided to end this, with my experience alone."
"No!" Mirii returns facing the elder, while frowning. "I possess supportive items which"
"There is only one way to deal against such problem." His left arm bends behind, then frowning a lot. "Coal Miners! In the name of Artacunia, I'll repel your evil spirits back to the dreadful mountains!"
"Pffff!" Grina grins, while folding her arms. "You are even living inside an ancient book!"
The man throws the round object, which fell under Grina's legs, hitting a small boy's head which yelled in a loud growl.
"Wow, dude… like, your dictionary still doesn't have the word gym!" Bars chuckles.
"Sgrunt…" The old man was breathing loudly, coughing twice. "The powers of those gloves… th-they are getting older too…"
"Yep! This is the ancient music I wanted to hear!" Grina's wrists were touching, as her palms were pointing over the man. "Now, take a listen to the real blast! ULTIMATE METAL!"
Suddenly, a dark tornado grows under the man's feet, wrapping him entirely: loud yells were heard, echoing throughout the village. The tornado vanished into fin air… revealing a Coal Creation! Pieces of the two gloves were falling down, under the now sharper fingers.
The male Inkling showed the teeth, growling at the two Inklings. Mirii dropped her jaw, as sweat appears on her forehead. Hun was trembling, turning over the young Inklings: Grina was laughing with her head tilted upwards and her wrists on her hips.
"No… th-the Coal Creations… th-they are…" Mirii whispered, as her eyebrows skyrocket on her forehead.
"Nice bustin', girl!" Bars' rose his right thumb, grinning. "Like, I would destroy my eardrums if that dude kept on with his ancient gramophone!"
"Flipping stuff is just pricelessly fun!"Grina does a high-five with Bars.
Her eyes are pointing Mirii, as the girl turns behind and frowns a lot.
"Hmm…" She grows a small smile. "You know what, Barsy?" Grina's wrists touched again. "If we turn that loser into a Coal Creation, we could make her stumble over the pits!"
Mirii gasps, as her right foot slides backwards.
"Yeeeah! Sounds rad, girl!" He nods, as his fists were moving up and down. "Come on, do it already!"
"NO! PLEASE DON'T!" Hun hugs Mirii, showing his back towards Grina. "LEAVE HER ALONE!"
"… aaawwwww…" Grina rose her eyebrows. "What a nice guy… such example shall meet the nice pits too!" Her eyebrows lower, as her grin expands.
Mirii and Hun closed their eyes, as they hugged each other.
