Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"... me?" Mirii's irises were shrunk, with her eyebrows down and sweat on her forehead. "But I'm not looking for anything! … unless…"
The girl gasps, as her hands covered her mouth.
"Wh-what's going on, Mirii?!" Hun walks in front of the girl, with his eyebrows up and mouth downturned.
"No… no, no, no, NO!" Her hands grasped her tentacles, pulling them. "THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" She grits her teeth.
A lass called Mirii? Ha! If 'tis just a puny, wee lass, we gunna get her easily on th' plank! 'o course, after she'll spill th' beans!
We learned she doesn't know too much about Project Neo. Maybe you know more than she does.
"Th-they know more?!" She starts breathing loudly, as her knees are slightly bended.
It dont matter: we gunna capture that Squid lass 'n throw her inside th' Torture Chambers. She's gonna think twice, before lyin' like a scurvy dog.
Mirii growls faintly, frowning a lot. She starts walking towards the garage door, with her right arm thrusting forward. Suddenly, two hands on her shoulders pulled the girl: she immediately twists behind, seeing Hun shaking his head, with his eyebrows up.
Have you heard of the "Thunder in the sea" team?
No, never heard 'o them...
"Thunder in the sea?" Mirii's right forefinger rests on her right cheek, as her left hand grabbed her right elbow. "… why it sounds so familiar…?"
They are a group of mercenaries, which accept intimidation or assassination requests from their clients. I have a friend working in the team: he said that yesterday Mirii fought a high ranked woman, all by herself, forcing her to retreat. I'm sure the mercenaries are more than willing to send you a profile about the girl…
"Wh-what?!" Mirii tilts backwards, with her irises shrunk, her eyes large and a frown dominating her face. "WHAT?!"
That would be truly needed! We'll lookin' fer that lass as before I sail out as we be done wit' th' deal.
Yes, even though it's not much, I hope you'll agree to pay us a nice amount of money…
Oooooh, we be goin' to pay ye alright...
… HEY!
Har har har! We'll gladly take 'tis information... 'n all them blueprints!
YOU TRAITOR! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DEAL!
Mirii left her mouth open.
Ye be sayin' that I be a traitor...? Ask that to ye grandparents, Squid! That's, if they be still alive... har har har har har!
The man's laughs kept coming from the speaker. Grina trembles: she was frowning a lot, growling and breathing loudly, while her teeth were gritted. Her eyes were slightly watery. She was grasping her Hero Shot tightly.
"I… I…"
Bars turns over the girl. Mirii and Hun did the same.
"… I… I hate THAT TURFING STINGRAY!" Her irises shrunk, as her yell echoed.
Instantly, her left hand rose the garage upwards, which impacted on its upper base loudly: the girl starts shooting left and right, while screaming at the top of her lungs. Two Stinglings exploded in light-yellow ink, flying away as small Stingrays.
Most of the floor's tiles were almost covered in ink. Deep in the warehouse, there were several shelves in a vertical line, with a multitude of large boxes on them. On the middle, a group of Stinglings had their guns pointed at 3 Inkling men and 2 Inkling women, which were sitting on the floor.
Captain Roy was holding a blue paper in his right hand: behind him, a desk with a pile of different blueprints. He was wearing a grey and white suit, with a zip on the front and a pirate hat with a Stingray white sign in the middle.
"IT'S THE END OF THE ROAD, FATTY!" Her weapon was pointed at the captain. "I'LL FINALLY GET TO KICK YOUR BUTT!"
The man showed his teeth a bit.
"Ye be that lass who tried to attack me many days ago..." His left hand opened.
The girl cried out, as she sprints over the man: he moves his left arm backwards. Grina stops and starts shooting, as ink projectiles hit the captain.
"Ha!" She grins. "I'm not falling for THAT mistake, giant loser!"
Suddenly, the girl released her weapon's trigger: she dropped her jaw, as her eyes expanded. Ink slides off from the captain, as he starts exploding in a loud laugh while bending backwards.
"Ye wanted to defeat th' legendary cap'n Roy wit' a toy?! I be wearin' a Protective Ink Suit, hearty thanks to one 'o th' early deals I did in th' past." He turns over the group of adult Inklings.
The shortest Inkling man was growling, with his hands behind his back.
"That's unfair!" Grina bends down, pointing her weapon over the captain. "Get that thing off, you pile of fear! I want to splat you out of oblivion!"
"Har har, keep dreamin' 'bout th' day ye might do a scratch to me face... while I'll get back to th' blimp, wit' me treasure!" He lifts the blue paper, while grinning.
"PAY US, MR. ROY!" The short Inkling man jumped, only pulled by a medium-height Inkling man and a slightly taller Inkling woman. "THAT SUIT TOOK DAYS TO STEAL!"
"Ye gunna only get frustration. before I sail out, all Stin'lin's 'n other Stin'rays gunna receive them suits... 'n no Squid be goin' to stop us!" The man starts walking, as his left hand took out a gun pointed at the girl.
Grina was walking backwards a bit.
"Don't try to escape! I-I'm still here!" She snorted.
Behind Grina, there was Bars with his Roller weapon lifted above his head. Mirii was pointing her Charger weapon over Roy's face and Hun's head was sticking from the entrance wall's left side, with his eyebrows up and mouth downturned.
"Be off inside ye ink, puny lass! I don't have the hour to waste wit' useless Squids like ye!" He stops, grinning.
Grina was frowning: suddenly, she opened her mouth and rose her eyebrows.
"… I'll not let a crook full of dishonor getting away!" She lifts her posture and tilts her head upwards. "In the perfect name of Mirii, I shall bring perfection down to this modest world!"
The man's eyes expanded.
"YE BE MIRII KELPSHELL?!" He jumped a bit.
"WHAT?!" Mirii shook her head quickly, as she bends down.
Grina throws her weapon, which was spinning backwards, catching it with her right hand. Her eyelids lowered, her mouth rose a bit.
"Why yes it is I, Mirii Kelpshell, extraordinary perfectionist with an eye for justice, capable of perfectly deduct almost anything a Squid-being could cordially ask." She lifts her nose up.
Mirii's right cheek twitched. Bars lowered his weapon, with his mouth open. Roy starts nodding slowly.
"Now I understand... ye came below to me, tryin' to stop our progress ever since th' extra beginnin'! I knocked ye below, but ye recovered well…" He points at the girl with the rolled blue paper.
"Correct." She rose her head a bit. "And here I'm, trying to stop you with my well-thought, psychological raging method to let you throw off your guard until the very end."
"Ye better surrend yourself in front 'o th' Stin'ray army, Squid! Ye ink be as puny as ye size!" He swings the blue paper.
"My ink may be useless… but unfortunately for you" Grina folds her arms, as her left leg steps forward. "I have already found a fatal weakness in your suit."
"YE BE SAYIN' WHAT?!" The man starts looking all over his suit. "Ye be bluffin'!"
"Of course I'm not." Her weapon points over the 5 Inklings. "All I needed was to see the sneaky actions of that man who spoke to you: he has a remote control hidden in his right pocket, which was pointed at you."
Captain Roy rose his right eyebrow.
"Why, weren't ye suppose to save them scurvy dogs?"
"At all." Grina shook her head. "We are here to arrest them for making deals with you."
"Sir!" A male Stingling was holding a remote control in his left hand. "There it is! The remote control which was in his left pocket!"
The man turns behind, as he bends forward and his eyes expanded.
"Fer a million 'o doubloons! That lass saw it right!"
Grina's mouth opened, as her eyes grew a bit: she shook her head rapidly, as she coughs loudly.
"Then, the match is over captain." She rose her head, as her face's expression returned to her last one. "That must be the Auto-destruction mechanism held inside the suit. I assume it was created to stop thieves like you."
The man grits his teeth.
"Grrrrr! No! No one can stop th' invincible cap'n Roy!"
He throws down his gun and blue paper: quickly, he unzips the suit and throws it to his right.
"Har har har har!" He turns over the 5 Inklings. "So, ye thought to have taken rid 'o jolly barnacle-covered Roy, ye dirty rats! I still remain th' undefeatable, while ye gunna all heartly enjoy a nice trip inside th' Torture Chamber! Har har har!"
He returns forward: Grina's weapon was in front of his face, as the girl was grinning a lot.
"IN YOUR FACE, FATTY!"
SPLAT!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
Captain Roy flew out of the entrance, as a small Stingray.
BLAM! BLAM!
Two Stinglings exploded in light-yellow ink, flying away in their smaller Stingray form, while Mirii was pointing her weapon over another Stingling. Hun slides forward as a Squid, as he bends down and then sprints towards the Stinglings.
SPLAT! SPLAT!
A female and a male Stingling flew away together, as small Stingrays. Another female Stingray let her weapon fall, as she sprints towards the entrance.
SPLAT!
She quickly flies away in her small, Stingray form: Bars was holding his weapon down, as he grins.
"Like, no one got it away!" He chuckles, as he lifts his weapon over his right shoulder.
Mirii walks rapidly forward, stopping in front of 5 Inklings: her right forefinger was pressing her weapon's trigger.
"Dealers, in the name of the Inkopolis Security Team, you are under arrest for dealing secret technology over the Inklings' enemies." She rose her head, as her left forefinger points down at the shorter male Inkling.
"… fine." He stands up, raising his hands up. "You got us." He lowers his head.
The other 4 Inklings stand up, raising their hands.
Wait, th-they surrender for real?!
"Yes, Tonna." She smiles. "They understood how improbable an escape attempt could be."
YES! YES, YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!
"… no, that's not true…" Mirii looks to her right, as her face lowers.
Huh?
"… if it wasn't for the Stingrays, we might not have been able to capture the dealers… or even learning anything about their intentions." She sighs loudly. "Because of that, I shouldn't even earn the title of Senior Rank…"
Mirii's eyebrows were up.
… Mirii, answer me a question.
Mirii looks over Bars, which was putting handcuffs on the medium-sized Inkling man's wrists.
Who was the one who installed that speaker on the warehouse's wall? That little gadget you used was one of the most important part of the mission.
Mirii rose her eyebrows up, as she bites her lips.
"Bu-but a professional Agent would"
Another important part was the fact you trusted Hun's special Super Jump skill, which let you surpass that invisible liquid. You even cheered up for your team, like a good leader! Those traits are something I wish many leaders would have…
Mirii sealed her mouth.
"I don't know about this, Tonna…" She sighs. "I wasn't perfect at all…"
"You were perfect today, Mirii!" Hun jumps in front of girl, smiling and blushing. "Thanks to you, we stopped those bad guys!"
Mirii blushes a lot, as her eyes were staring at Hun.
"I feel so happy, since this is the Master's duty if I remember correctly…" He looks up, with his right hand on his chin.
"Yes it's, Hunley." She nods while smiling. "Thanks to you, it was possible to reach the warehouse."
"Girl, like!" Bars walks forward, as his right forefinger points at the girl multiple times. "Thanks for the cheering ups of before! Also, that last co-op plan we did was so rad, I felt like being unstoppable!"
Mirii giggles while her mouth was closed.
"Heeeeey, everyone!" Grina dances, while slowly spinning over herself. "After returning to the Headquarters, let's all go eat some Burgers for lunch!"
Wow, you finished sooner than expected! The chief is going to be very impressed…
"It seems you'll become a chief…" Mirii folds her arms, with her head tilted upwards.
Eh eh… with that title, I have the possibility to give permissions to Agents. Since Hun would reach Pro Rank… I think he might truly receive those cures very soon!
Mirii's eyes grew rapidly, same for her smiling mouth: she bends down.
"YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!" She jumps up in the air, with her mouth wide open.
