Chapter 2: For what's feared Part 1
Hours had passed. Kira's legs ached and the pain she felt from her previous exhausting encounters was starting to set in. She started grinding her teeth together and took sharp breaths as her wings drooped.
"You should rest... You're exhausting yourself."
Kira growled lowly at the voice. "No...Mint..needs..me..."
"I cannot stop you...But be warned, you will find yourself in a bind with your powers."
Kira rolled her eyes. "Yeah...Yeah..." Her eyes began glowing purple as she kept walking down the rows of train tracks. The only lingering thought of hers being to rescue her octoling friend.
Please... Please let me find them...
As Kira looked up, she smelled the sanitized goo; a burning, unpleasant feeling coursing through her body as she made the sprint to Mint. All previous thoughts and concerns seemingly disappearing.
Her body ached and begged for her to rest, but she refused and kept going.
Stopping in front of an entrance, she felt her body collapse.
No... Nononono... Oh cod... Oh cod... Kira thought, worried. Please get up Kira, they need you!
But then, her world went black.
Mint looked around as they struggled to escape a table the sanitized had placed them on. Struggling against the restraints, they began to desperately cry out as they peered at the sanitized octolings and the ink.
I-I'm going to die here! Oh cod, I need to escape! They thought as they struggled.
"We need a leader Frail..." A sanitized told them.
Another sanitized approached the other and whispered into their ear. They nodded and turned to Frail. "Looks like you have a friend who wants to see you. Perhaps we should take you to them?"
Mint raised an eyebrow. "Who...?"
Their eyes widened as a door opened up and lied an unconcious inkling with a pixie cut-like hairstyle, the sensitive parts wrapped in seaweed and green goo.
Her wrists were cuffed and a device was around their nose and mouth to help her breathe.
"Oh no... KIRA!"
