Hun was leading the group of Inklings, while his eyes were carefully looking up ahead. Carlson was holding Silin who was staring at the walking crowd with her sleepy eyes.

The leader boy turned the left turn, immediately scanning the next section of the corridor.

"Nothing dangerous ahead, Hunley?" Mirii's voice was coming from behind the wall.

"Nothing dangerous!" He smiled.

The rest of the gang was already behind him, walking down at the same pace. Carlson, however, moved himself closer to the wall on the right side.

"Like, I will head for the staircase!" He accelerated his pace a bit. "Catch you later, pals 'n girls!"

"Be careful Barsy." Greta sighed, watching him passing everyone else, heading towards the stairs.

"Wouldn't be wiser to check the stairs?" Ana brought her right fist on her chest. "You know... there could be"

"No worries!" Greta grinned, while turning behind and facing herself towards Ana. "Barsy is pretty tough himself!"

"... didn't you just said to him 'Be careful'?" Ana's eyelids lowered to the middle. "That doesn't"

"Don't think about it!" Greta stuck out her tongue, closed her right eye and returned herself back ahead. "Barsy will be fiiiiiine!"

"Besides, we can't bring Hunley downstairs." Mirii's head shook. "The enemy might come from the office and ambush us from the unexplored area."

"Or the enemy is waiting for Bars on the stairs?" Ana brought her hands behind her neck, as her right eye closed and her mouth shaped as a small o.

"In that case, don't you think that Nick would call us?" Enrick's right forefinger pushed his glasses, as the lenses shined. "He is not staying too far from the stairs..."

"You expect that idiot calling us with the smartphone, in case he notices danger?!" Ana frowned a little. "Or that he is paying attention to the main floor's hallway at all?!"

"Barsy is pretty resilient though." Greta stared at the stairs leading downwards. "And look, no problemo is raising!"

"Th-that's careless!" Ana's right eye closed. "We should had thought about it better!"

Mirii lowered her head, as her eyes closed.

"... I could had thought about the dangers better..."

"Hmm..." Hun looked at all the doors surrounding him left and right. "Any clue about this chief's room?"

"The chief is an important person in this laboratory, so we will find a large-sized door or a multidoor that symbolizes such status." Mirii rose her head, as her eyes reopened.

"Ok!" Hun rose his right thumb. "So far, nothing..."

"Shouldn't Hun turn into his other self and preparing himself already?" Enrick stared at the leading boy.

"Agree!" Ana nodded twice, as she rose her fists in front of her chest.

"Hunley can transform himself pretty quickly." Mirii waved her left hand over her left side. "If he senses danger, he will not hesitate transforming."

"Does he even have the reflexes for that?!" Ana's hands went in front of her mouth.

"... you are gettin' a bit too worried, Ana..." Greta showed her tongue at the girl, before pulling it back. "Smile and enjoy life!"

"... I hate going in without any weapon..." Ana let out a loud sigh.

"Things will go perfectly, Ana." Mirii giggled, while keeping her eyes closed and her head slightly turned over her left side. "Trust in Hunley's skills."

"... if you say so..." Ana's eyebrows went up, as her mouth downturned.

Hun stopped on a fork on the hallway, as he began looking left and right: suddenly, he twisted himself over the left side while bending himself in that direction.

"The door is right there!" He turned into a Squid, dashing on the floor. "Stay here!"

"HUNLEY, WAIT!" Mirii performed one step, just before her left arm got capture by Greta's hands.

"Heeeeeyyyy, Miss Perfection!" The taller girl pulled Mirii against herself. "What are you thinkin'?! Hunry is on the action!"

"Alone!" Mirii was curling herself in several ways, while stretching her arms forward, kicking the air and puffing her eyes. "HE IS ALONE!"

"So much for trusting on him!"

Mirii halted her movements: Ana had her wrists on her sides, while frowning back at her.

"What do you think you would do like this?"

"I can kick!" Mirii rose her fist. "I can punch! I can attack!"

A loud noise hit everyone elses' ears, as they froze in place.

"HE'S GOING IN!" Mirii threw fists and kicks in the air, as a stream of tears was flying out of each eye. "AAAAH!"

CLANK!

The Squid was standing in front of the closed door, facing a desk in the distance.

"You are the chief's lab, aren't you?!" He frowned, waving his tentacles on the floot frantically.

"... it's just you? Ha!"

Two heavy hands hit the desk, as someone covered in the shadows rose.

"So much for going in a team..."

"W-why you trapped us inside your laboratory?!" Hun's eyes squeezed a little. "What do you want from us?!"

"... I thought you would already guessed it, considering how you pests kept going after each lab you found..."

"Wh-what does that mean...?" Hun was breathing silently and slowly.

The shadow walked around the desk, stopping in front of it.

"... ah right. You still have your memory problems."

"Huh?!" His irises shrunk.

"Ah ah ah! I can refresh your memories in a moment!" The shadow opened his arms widely. "You went after our labs, thinking to stop Project Neo by sabotaging each structure you find!"

"We did well!" Hun frowned at him. "You are evil!"

"Ha! So much talk from someone who struggles at remembering!" Suddenly, the shadow extracted something large from behind him. "We lured you inside this laboratory where we would go all out against you..."

"We? There is only you!" Suddenly, Hun's eyes expanded. "Wait... wasn't there another Squid in here?!"

The man laughed loudly.

"There is no use thinking about the past..." A loud rolling-noise rose from the shadow figure, as his eyes glowed in red. "Here me out, wimp! This is the last laboratory you will ever see! You and all your useless friends!"

Ratatatatatatata!

Hun was sliding over his right side, dodging the yellow ink projectiles flying out of the shadow being. Suddenly, the Squid charged at full speed against the shadow, jumping high in the air and spinning on himself rapidly.

BAM!

Hun flew backwards, landing on the floor. The shadow's darkness lowered in tone a bit.

"Ha ha haaa! Not bad..." The red eyes were glowing even more. "... but you haven't seen my full powers yet!"

All the sudden, the shadow entity splitted into two! Hun looked both left and right, seeing the two shadows rolling their Splatling-like weapons loudly.

"Wh-what the?!" Hun bended on himself.

Ink shots flew out of the barrels, as the Squid immediately jumped out of the way! He landed near the left shadow, instantly jumping once more and hitting him with his spinning jump: the shadow exploded into 4 black orbs who flew towards the remaining shadow.

The shadow splitted himself into two parts again, as he resumed his yellow ink shots. Hun bended on himself again... this time charging against the shadow while forming a tall wave of green ink in front of him.

The yellow ink projectiles hit the wave, but they were quickly absorbed by it! Hun steered himself towards the left side, hitting the first shadow and sliding himself into a halt before his head would bonk against the wall.

The 4 orbs were hovering in the air: Hun skipped towards the remaining shadow, racing against the flying orbs.

Hun jumped again, spinning himself against the shadow and hitting him with a powerful spin attack: the other shadow also exploded into 4 orbs.

The 8 orbs flew in circle back towards the desk, shaping themselves back into the shadow enemy.

"... ha ha ha...!" The figure rose his weapon. "I see courage in your eyes... but not the strength you need to truly defeat me!"

"Who are you?!" Hun frowned a lot, as he bended himself.

"... you want to know?"

"Yes I do!" The Squid waved his tentacles rapidly.

"... eh eh eh... ha ha haaaa...!" The shadow opened his arms again.

This time, a vortex opened on his stomach! The Squid was being gradually pulled against it, as he was screaming and dashing as much as he could!

"Come to me, you stupid Squid...! Coooommmeeee!"

"AAAAAAAAHH!" Hun's eyes squeezed, as he flew inside the stomach.

PUUUUFFF!

...

...

...

...

The door slammed wide open: Mirii was already in the middle of the room, looking everywhere she could!

The room was devastated with no trace of any ink whatsoever...

Ana called her name. Mirii turned herself over her right side, only to see an item resting on the bottom-right corner: a Blaster.
