Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
Bird chirps were coming from the right, where some trees were standing on the grass. The Sun was hitting Hun's eyes: his eyelids almost completely lowered, as his right hand stood right in front of the Sun.
"Hmm… today would have been great for harvesting…" He sighs silently. "Will I ever get that back…?"
"Of course you will!"
The boy's shoulders turned to his left: Grina's mouth was smiling, her eyebrows were a bit up. Her feet stepped the ground quickly, as the girl's distance from Hun reduced a bit.
"Who said that you are stuck back at Inkopolis? Even people who previously lived there, moved out of the city to find some peace and quiet in smaller towns!" Her left hand moved a bit up and down.
"Really?" His mouth opened a bit.
"Sure!" Grina giggled, with her eyes closed. "Getting all pessimistic will get you smacked down for the count: why not just enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and forests with a smile?"
"Well… ehm…" His eyes went up.
"Grina, this is not the time to lower the attention." Mirii's head rose, as her irises were pointed to the left. "The Stingrays are lurking around those fields. If the team is distracted, they would gain many opportunities to take us down."
"Sheesh…" Grina's eyelids went to the middle, her irises were pointed to her right, her eyebrows were a bit down. "So much for motivating the team… you might as well put some grey clouds around and some menacing thunders coming from them!"
"I'm not the responsible for deciding which situation is coming upon the Inkinators." Mirii frowns a bit. "I do not intend to find myself and Hunley unprepared: underestimating our enemies is one of the worst mistake this team might make!"
Grina sealed her mouth, her eyelids were a bit up, her eyebrows went down a bit more: her irises went in the middle.
"Hunry, what do you think about this? Should we get all tensed and sad or should we enjoy the fields instead?"
"What are you implying?!" Mirii's frown increased, her irises shrunk a bit, a vein popped out from her forehead, her back was bending a bit forward. "That nonsensical question has nothing to"
"Let Hunry answer that darn question, Mirii!" Grina snorted, with her irises looking back at Mirii. "He's not that stupid to figure out the best solution anyway!"
Her irises went back in the middle, as her mouth smiled.
"Actually, his intelligence is so inspiring… I do want to learn some tricks from him!" She giggled.
"Ehm… eh eh…" His cheeks blushed a bit, as his right hand scratches the back of his head. "Thank you for that, Grina… and I agree we shouldn't be that sad." He smiles.
Grina's right elbow went behind, as her grin grows instantly.
"Yes! That's the spirit!" Her eyes closed.
Mirii's eyes grew a bit, her irises shrunk, her eyebrows were down: she was staring at Hun, which right forefinger was up.
"But we can't go hunting for fun, you know." Hun's eyebrows went up. "The idea of Stingrays being around the fields is not good… actually, it's something terrible!"
The girl's mouth opened wide, her eyebrows went up. Mirii rose her head a bit, nodding, as her irises grew back.
"I agree with that point of view, Hunley." Her eyebrows went down. "It's terrible to let those crooks roam around: I fear they might choose to attack the town unscrupulously."
"Yes, exactly!" Hun nodded. "That's why we must kick them out first, then it would be really the time to enjoy the scenery!"
Mirii smiled, lowering her head back to normal level.
"You are truly wise, Hunley…" Her eyes closed, as her cheeks blushed. "It's fascinating to hear such effective solutions."
Hun's cheeks got red, as his smile reached them. Grina's eyebrows were down, her mouth was downturned as she sighs loudly.
"Shoot… I should had remembered that Hunry has his eyes on Mirii." Her voice volume came low.
"Whooaaa, like look what I just found!"
Grina's head turned behind: Bars' left thumb and forefinger were holding a coin in a vertical position.
"Wow, lucky!" Grina's smiling mouth opened, as her eyes were sparkling. "Looks like Barsy doesn't just find bad stuff on the ground…"
The boy laughs loudly, as his left hand went inside his left pocket, returning back out with just the palm visible.
"Come on, come on let's get real: Bars has always been awesome!" His right arm bended, as his Roller weapon rested on his right shoulder. "I just need some crushing entrance and there I go, ready to roll!"
Grina giggles with her eyes closed. Mirii snorted, as her eyelids went to the middle.
"I would advice to watch your steps very carefully… in order to not return back inside the car." Mirii lowered her head, raising her eyelids and lowering her eyebrows. "That would really get on my nerves, seeing so much imperfection."
Bars shrugged, as his head shakes left and right.
"Yeah, yeah, like sorry for stepping on your nerves, girl."
"Hmpf." Mirii's head turned forward. "The distance between us and the houses is rather short… it's time to investigate without any waste of time."
"Hmm…" Hun's right hand went behind his chin. "You know, I don't think to be that good at drawing information…" He turns to his right, seeing Mirii. "Would you like to ask people about this rumor? I believe you can do this very easily."
"Sure." Mirii nodded, while smiling. "I'm indeed perfect for using my brilliant mind… and I'm glad to hear your considerations too."
Hun's eyes were closed, his mouth was smiling. Mirii's irises shifted a bit to the left: her mouth opened slightly.
"What the"
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFMMMMMM!
A line of white smoke was behind a jet: under it, a waterfall of dark-blue liquid falling towards a large group of houses.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFMMMMMM!
Another white smoke line was coming from above the Inkinators: under the jet, another waterfall of dark-blue liquid falling down near the houses, hitting their roofs.
The 4 Inklings were down: Mirii's left knee was on the grass, her hands down pushing up, her teeth gritted.
"EVERYONE!" Her head turns over each Inkling, as her eyebrows were down. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Grina's hands kept hitting her shirt and short pants, as dust fell down. "I'm not so sure about that little town over there…"
"The Stingrays!" Hun's head was turned over Mirii, as his face was frowning. "Come on, everyone! They already start attacking!"
The boy sprints, bending forward.
"HUNLEY!" Mirii's right arm stretched towards Hun.
Her legs start kicking the air rapidly.
"HUUUNNLLLEEEEEYYYY!"
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFMMMMMM!
"HUNLEY, SLOW DOWN! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO VENTURE WITH SUCH HURRY!" Her left hand was waving, while gasping a bit.
The boy's left foot slides on the dusty road, then standing still with his eyes looking forward. Mirii's legs gradually move slower and slower, stopping right on Hun's right side. Their eyes were seeing the dark-blue liquid on the stone-made roads, walls, grass…
Most of the windows had pieces of glass on the edges. On the road, several Inklings shapes were down, all covered in this dark-blue liquid. A strong, putrid smell entered inside Mirii's nostrils: her face grimaces.
"Yuck…" Her left fingers pinched her nose. "Utterly disgusting…"
Her irises steered to the left: Hun was walking over the liquid. Mirii jumped in front of him, as her face was frowning and slightly tilted up, same for her irises.
"Don't you dare interacting with that putrid substance…" Her eyes squeezed a bit.
"Mirii, this is an emergency: I can't stand here, doing"
"I can't stand here, seeing your life at stake for utilizing a non-optimal tactic." Her right hand rose her weapon. "Leave this operation to perfection."
Her right forefinger presses the trigger of her weapon, as her eye looks through the scope and her left hand holds the weapon in the middle. Hun's mouth was still open.
BLAM!
A straight, orange line came from the weapon stopping before the liquid: Mirii gasped, as her irises shrunk and her right hand lowered the weapon down.
"Impossible!" Her right foot made a step backwards. "How that liquid resists in front of the ink?!"
"Oh no…" Hun stepped backwards with his left foot.
"Eeeewwww!"
Immediately, the two Inklings turned their backs: Grina's hands were in front of her nose and mouth, as her weapon was in front of her feet. Her eyebrows are up.
"Wh-what's up with the atrocious smell?!" Her hands were on her stomach, as her back was bending forward, her tongue was sticking out and her face was grimacing and getting slightly green. "It's like someone barfed garlic and rotten eggs!"
Mirii's face grimaced, as she slowly turns forward.
"I-I never seen such putrid liquid…" She sighs loudly, with her left fingers pinching her nose. "And apparently, ink can't cancel its existence!"
Bars' face was green, as he shook his head slowly.
"Like, I'm not feeling too good…" His left hand stood on his mouth, as his cheeks puffed.
"Nnnnnggghhhh!" Mirii swallows silently. "Hunley… wh-what's your advice?! Shall we try to save those Inklings immerged inside that liquid…?"
"Of course we have to save them!" His left foot went ahead. "We can't let a smell get the best of us!"
"Wow… do you have a cold, Hunry?!" Grina bends down, as her right hand picks her weapon's handle. Her eyebrows were down, her mouth downturned. "I-I just can't stay here any longer… bad smells are something that really amps up my anger." She turns behind. "Am I asking too much for having at least some decent air?! Gee!"
"Grina…" Hun shrugged. "Don't go away… the Inkinators need you!"
Suddenly, noises were coming from behind… the boy turns in that direction, as he jumped a bit. A male Inkling covered in dark-blue liquid was lifting his right leg, dragging his left leg along the way. His arms were tilting back and forth, slowly.
Dark-blue sweat kept falling from the limbs and face, which the eyes were glowing. The entire shape kept expanding and lowering in a slow, rhythmic manner. The mouth opened, showing sharp teeth which were covered in light-green liquid.
Mirii gasped, immediately lifting her weapon at her head height level, holding the trigger and pointing the scope right on the Inkling's head.
BLAM!
The head tilted to the right, as the Inkling kept walking in a very slow pace: groans and growls were coming from his mouth. Behind him, a female Inkling slowly rose from the dark-blue liquid, gradually turning over the Inkinators.
Mirii slowly walks backwards… Bars and Grina's eyes almost popped out.
"Whoa… like… da squid is that…?" His jaw dropped.
"I don't know… and I don't even want to know." Grina starts walking behind Bars.
Mirii's head turned to her left: Hun was still, seeing the covered Inklings marching towards them. Some were stumbling a bit… some were groaning…
Mirii's eyes rested on the male Inkling: he was standing still, stumbling in front of the orange ink. Suddenly, he bends forward, his head tilts down and
BLAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHH!
Dark-blue liquid fell on the orange ink. Grina jumped, as her face turned green and her weapon fell back in front of her feet. Mirii grimaces, as she quickly run near Hun.
"Hunley, we must retreat!" Her mouth was near his right ear. "Those Inklings are immune to ink… no, they are not even Inklings anymore!"
Her face turned back, seeing the male Inkling staring down the girl: his arms tilted up, pointed directly over Mirii.
