Yasuha and the rest of the octolings all looked in horror at what Hanatarash had just done. "Let that be a lesson to you alll! Don't EVER think of escaping, octos!" Yasuha began to tap his foot to a rhythm, and Hanatarash immediately yelled, "JANE POP! I know what you're trying to do! Don't you DARE! Or else I'll plant trees on top of all your internal organs and have them stab through your flesh!" Yasuha stopped immediately, and stuttered, "O-Okay."

Hanatarash reached into a closet and pulled out a ton of food. There were fruits, sauces, cheeses, dough, the works. She crossed her arms and proclaimed, "Now, today, your task is to bake a pizza with that oven over there!" She pulled out a thick book and slammed it onto the table. "This book shows every step! If even ONE thing is slightly off- I'll cut out all your left eyes!"

She walked to the door and said, "I'll be looking at what you're all doing through the camera." She left the room and locked the door. Immediately after, the rest of the octolings began to assemble the pizza. Yasuha said, "Uh- can someone fill me in on what the hell is happening?" An octoling who was named "Plumtree" by Hanatarash said, "She must've kidnapped you too... we were all randomly taken and dropped in this room. I couldn't tell you how long I've been here now... I've lost track of time."

Yasuha wanted to use his ability, however, he feared that Hanatarash would catch him trying to escape. He began to help make the pizza, and he got to kneading the dough. He began to look around the room, "There's gotta be some way to escape this place!" he thought. He looked around the room while kneading the dough and eventually found an air vent above a wardrobe. His face lit up as he looked at it, but then an octoling nicknamed Beam Beam noticed what he was looking at.

"Don't even think about it." he said to Yasuha, "I remember an old pal who tried to break out through the vents. That thing is made of the toughest metal ever- it's nearly impossible to break. And there isn't anything you can use to unscrew it. Hanatarash found out what he was trying to do, and I've never seen a more gruesome scene."

Beam Beam went back to helping with the pizza, and Yasuha began to contemplate other ways to get out. "Shit, that Hanatarash bitch... her ability genuinely scares me! How the hell do I get out of here without her finding out!?" Yasuha had begun to lose hope by the second, and he sighed and got back to work on the pizza. However, unbeknownst to him, Taka had entered the building!

"God, when I find that Hanatarash cunt- I'll kill her!" he muttered to himself, "The car parked in front of the building was the one she stuffed Yasuha in... she'll pay for making me shove a glass shard down my throat to cut off a tree!" Taka was bleeding from his legs and throat, due to the fact that he had used shards of glass from broken windows to cut off the trees Hanatarash had grown on him. He walked up to the receptionist and asked if she had seen anyone with short purple hair, to which he responded, "Nope. Dunno who you're talking about."

Taka muttered, "Shit." and walked away. Immediately after, the receptionist pulled out his phone and began to text Machine Girl. "Some1 is looking 4 u and idk whi they r" he texted. Hanatarash got the text as she sat in her motel room, drinking a mixture of soda and cough syrup. She texted back, "Wut did they look like?" The receptionist said, "Greenish hair nd skin nd an earring" Hanatarash spat out her beverage and scowled, "HE'S ALIVE!?"

Taka decided to take a crap, and so he walked into the restroom, specifically taking the handicapped stall. Hanatarash ran into the lobby and yelled to the receptionist, "WHERE IS HE!? WHERE DID HE GO!?" The receptionist shrugged and Hanatarash said, "You're not HELPFUL!" She ran to the janitors closet, and then to the room containing all the kidnapped octolings. She ran towards Yasuha and said, "JANE POP!" Yasuha looked over and said, "Y-Yes?" Hanatarash said, "Your friend, the man I thought was dead- he's here. I don't want to hear a peep out of you! I don't want you to signal for any help at all!"

Yasuha's face lit up, and Hanatarash said, "If you even attempt to escape, you'll suffer the slowest, most painful death EVER! I'll be checkin' my cams, so don't even DARE do to anything fishy." She began to hum, and a tree began to grow on Yasuha's rib. It ripped through the flesh on his chest, and Yasuha fell from the pain as he yelled. Hanatarash said, "That's a preview of what'll happen if you try to leave." She walked out the room and slammed the door before locking it. "Now I gotta find where that bastard is." she said.

Yasuha thought to himself, "Thank fucking god- Taka is here! But Hanatarash is powerful, shit- this hurts so bad! Is he gonna be able to able defeat her?" Yasuha looked up at the vent and thought, "If only there was a way to get out through there... wait-"

TO BE CONTINUED

Name: Hanatarash

Hanatarash is the girlfriend of Machine Girl, and a former member of the New Inkopolis Connection. Unlike Machine Girl, who only joined the organization to kill people, Hanatarash genuinely believed and agreed with the values of the New Inkopolis Connection. Her ability to grow trees on any object made it relatively easy for her to escape Inkopolis with Machine Girl when she heard that someone was hunting down every member of the gang. She only kidnaps and forces octolings to work for her, as she believes that they're lower than inklings and need to be put to work.
