Alright, if you are liking the story so far, please send in a review!
Ha ha ha ha! You sure are treating this whole time challenge so poorly
"Do you have something to cough out?" Grina's head rose, as her eyes were watching the ceiling, which had traces of mold.
Bars and Mirii walked, standing behind the girl.
"Then, shut that microphone." Grina took two steps.
"… if I didn't saw Grina, I'd believe someone else was saying such things with a voice very similar to hers." Mirii frowns a bit. "That behavior might get into the team's entire performance… a solution is urgently required."
The girl coughed once, as she began to walk.
"Grina, turn around." Mirii rose her head a little.
Grina starts sprinting, jumping over hole.
"GRINA!" Mirii rushed, frowning a lot. "STOP RIGHT IN THIS INSTANT!"
"Hey girls! Like, wait for me!" Bars thrusts his right arm forward.
Cccrrrrrr…
The boy stood still, jerkily turning behind: the first stair step started to crumble. His face got blue, with his eyes gradually growing.
"… mommy."
He yells, as he starts to run while leaving behind dust. One by one, the steps were falling into a multitude of pieces.
"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?!" Mirii jumps over a hole, then bends forward passing a barrel attached to one rope on each side.
"BECAUSE WE HAVE TO REACH THAT OFFICE IN TIME!" Grina's fists were clenching, her eyes were a bit watery and her teeth were gritted. "SERIOUSLY, DO YOU REALLY WANT"
Suddenly, Mirii jumps above the girl, landing in front of her.
"Teamwork is required." Mirii folds her arms, with her head slightly up. "If you act hostile with the entire team, you'll do nothing but"
"COMING THROOOOUUUGH!" Bars' left shoulder pushed Grina over the stair rail, while keep running.
The girl landed with her arms touching the rail, yelping a bit.
"BaaaaaaaRRSSSS!" Grina frowns a lot, with her eyes completely white. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, TODAY?! ARE YOU REALLY"
"Grina! The stairs!" Mirii's eyes expanded, as she turned behind and sprints ahead.
Cccrrrrr…
The girl's ears rose. She turns behind: her gasp got right behind her gritted teeth. The crumbling stairs were almost near her feet…
PION!
In a ricochet sound, Grina kept panting while lifting her hands in the air, during her wave motion.
"Wh-what kind of circus are you running in this tower of madness?!" Her eyebrows were up, as she jumps sideways over a hole.
Nothing special: it's just a security idea I had ever since I became the new CEO.
"Sgrunt!" She frowns a lot. "I came up with different torture ideas, all for you."
Ha ha ha ha! How kind… I'll gladly hear each of them, once you'll get here.
"JUST WAIT AND SEE!" Grina accelerates, as the dust behind her feet only increased in size.
She ducks, she jump! The crumbles were still visible though. Suddenly, faint voices were saying her name. After turning to the left, her eyes were seeing Bars and Mirii standing visibly on a small portion of a hallway.
"Come on, girl!" Bars' hands were on each side of his mouth, as his irises were shrunk. "Like, you got less than 50 meters!"
Mirii took her right tentacle, as she caresses it.
"Aaaaaaaaahhh!" Grina jumped, diving right on the checkered floor.
Thump!
"Kelp yeah, girl!" Bars throws his fist up in the air, as his eyes were closed and his mouth was smiling. "That run was darn rad!"
Grina stands up, as her hands were rubbing dust off from her shirt. She kept panting, her face was frowning a bit…
"Now, it's time to hear your explanations…" Mirii walks in front of Grina, as her arms were folded. "Why are you acting in such hostile way?"
Grina growls behind her teeth.
"Why are you wasting time with those mindbreakers…?" She snorts.
"Escape is futile." Mirii rose her head a bit. "As I said earlier, teamwork is required. Without it, our mission is a failure."
"Oooooh, here it comes smartbutt!" Grina raises her hands, with her eyelids lowered. "Ready to give out some obvious lectures…"
Smoke came from Mirii's ears, as her face was frowning.
"If you can't cooperate for easy tasks, it'll be impossible for you to"
Grina's right forefinger landed on Mirii's forehead, tilting her head slightly backwards. Her left wrist stood on her left hip, while her face kept the same expression.
"Listen up, cleaning warrior: I ain't holding any grudge, especially to little girls who explode for any non-existent jokes… let out darn pervs!" Her irises turned, pointing down Bars. "Am I right, Barsy?"
Bars chuckles, as his right hand scratches the back of his head, while blushing. Grina groaned, as her eyes rolled. Mirii slapped away Grina's right hand, as multiple veins popped out from her forehead.
"How… dare… you…" She clenches her fists.
"In other words" Grina shows her palms, with her eyes closed. "I turned into seriousness mode, because I don't want to have fun in a prison." She reopens them, as her arms folded. "Got a problem with that? Do you want me to say that in Calamarese?"
Mirii kept breathing loudly, as she slowly opens her fists and closes her eyes.
"As long as your antics are out of this mode you are claiming." She turns behind, walking ahead. "And besides, you are occulting the reason behind your hostility… which it must be related to the sad truth about your shape."
Grina expands her eyes, gradually frowning as much as possible: she grabs both her tentacles, as her feet kept stomping in place. Bars stood in front of her, with his arms open.
"Girl, like shake that insult off!" He shakes his head. "It's so uncool seeing you down and monster!"
Grina sealed her mouth: she passes Bars, still stomping the floor.
Ha ha ha ha! What a delightful scene! You Squids are giving me such great time…
"Speaking of time..." Mirii's irises bounces left and right. "Looking at it is no longer required. Your office is the next location, probably without any memorable security system."
Aaaaawww… look at the little girl dreaming! Walking so cheerful, after trashing out that seapig you have for a friend.
Mirii's irises shrunk, with her mouth left open.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SEAPIG?!" Grina stomps even faster, with her eyes and mouth white.
It doesn't matter: because of your incompetence, you'll walk in circles… which is really convenient, since you'll do that a lot, behind a jail.
"Your cowardly speech is ineffective: an immediate surrender would only half-lower your punishment." Her eyes were seeing a window, which was showing some buildings with zero lights around.
Hmm, hmm… you are right about my speech being ineffective. Can I correct my mistakes?
"Mistakes can't be corrected." Mirii's eyes were seeing two doors, one on each side of the wall and a larger door in front of her. "You can only take lessons from them."
Really… I hope you'll learn great things about your mistakes.
Mirii looks up, then down, then left and right. Her mouth rose a little.
"Reveal the next challenge."
You are not learning from your mistakes… ah well! If you really insist…
Mirii stops, with her ears up. Her head was quickly twisting left and right.
"Now what?!" Grina opens her arms. "There is nothing around!"
"Wh-what are you stating?!" Mirii turns behind, frowning a lot. "I'm hearing noises!"
"Aaaah, shut up!" She moves her right hand down. "I had enough of this… I want to take some sleep!"
Mirii covers her eyes, sighing loudly.
"On second thought, I don't think you are hiding your true personality…" She retreats her own hand. "Your behavior is letting children appearing more mature than you."
"I'm tired, alright?!" Grina opens her arms, frowning a lot. "I can't get optimistic or anything with this mood! This darn air is making my head spin too!"
"All I'm seeing is a person who refuses to grow up." Mirii folds her arms. "You just care about fun, without a thought about your future…"
SLAM!
Mirii instantly faces the opposite direction: she saw a large mole-like creature, with a brown fur and fin on the back.
"No…" Her irises shrunk. "N-not"
Ha ha ha ha! Someone's feeling down… how about you three play with my pet? You'll surely boost your optimism, after hearing that you have 15 minutes to reach my little office…
The creature roared loudly.
