Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!


Mirii's irises shrunk.

"Oh no..." Her head turned to her right.

A group of 6 mutants were walking down the road while moaning and stretching their arms forward: a dark-blue covered Inkling woman bended a bit down, as liquid got out of her mouth almost like a waterfall. Mirii's eyebrows rose, her mouth downturned while opening a bit, showing slightly her teeth down.

"What are you doing with that statue impression?!"

Mirii turned behind: Grina's left forefinger pointed forward, her eyes were wide, her right arm kept moving back and forth.

"Get jumpin' with those legs and fast!" The girl sprinted, bending a bit down.

Bars was running, right behind Grina. Mirii groaned, as she sighed once and began rushing in the same direction.

"Th-there is no need to consume a needless quantity of energy!" Her eyebrows went down. "It would be wise to carefully scan the area"

"YIKES!"

Her feet slide a bit, stopping on the mixed green-brown colored ground as dust rose a bit in front of her legs: Bars and Grina were both slowly walking backwards, staring at 4 mutants thrusting their arms forward.

"Ooooh man… like, they jammed the road!" The boy turns over Grina. "What are we gonna do now, girl?!"

She turns her head to her right, seeing other 5 mutants walking on the river of liquid. Her face frowned, as her head returned, facing the 4 mutants again.

"Let's do what a famous N-Proverb says." Her hands took her weapon. "Ink turf, live longer."

Her right forefinger presses the trigger, as ink projectiles flew out of the muzzle landing on the ground. The mutants' heads were slowly turning left and right, all pointing a bit down towards the orange ink. Bars' hands took his Roller weapon, as his legs sprung and his arms moved: ink flew from the weapon, covering the field including the mutants.

Dark-blue liquid formed rapidly on each mutant: a dark-blue covered Inkling man took a step, as a small round shape of liquid was formed under his right foot.

"Oh, come on!" Grina bended forward, her irises shrunk, her face was still frowning. "As if my idea was a noble prize!"

Mirii's head tilted down: Hun's eyelids were in the middle, a bit frowning.

"Hunley, if you don't think to be capable of"

"Don't worry, Mirii…" He breaths loudly once, as his eyes closed. "… I can make it…"

Mirii's mouth opened wide, her eyebrows went up.

"MOVE UP YOU TWO!"

The girl's head immediately rose back to neutral position: waves were coming from the orange ink, passing the mutants which heads were following them. Mirii turned orange, completely diving inside the orange ink. Waves formed on the sides, moving forward: a covered Inkling man opened his arms, bending backwards…

He bends all the way forward with the arms wrapping himself as his left foot rose in the air. Growls came from his mouth. Slowly, other waves were advancing through the group of mutants as a covered Inkling woman dived towards them, only to get the chin impacting on the ground.

Bars was running with his Roller weapon down, rolling on the ground and leaving a trail of orange ink behind. In front of him, other 3 mutants moaning and thrusting their arms forward: he turns to the left, followed by waves coming from the orange ink.

"Uuuuh…" His mouth kept breathing heavily, as his eyebrows were up. "I'm running out of ink here…"

His feet gradually slows down, as the Roller cover turned white with holes on it.

"Leave the job to me!" Grina rose from the ink, twisting herself with her eyes closed: ink drops flew out of her face.

Her weapon was shooting ink, going either left, right or straight. Some small light columns were resting on the ground, coming from the group of leafs. Suddenly the girl slides a bit, stopping near the orange turf's edge.

"Darn it! Stingrays alert!" Her eyebrows went up, her hands were grasping her Splattershot.

Bars and Mirii rose from the ink, each grasping their respective weapons: two female Stinglings were holding a black and white, Shooter-type weapon with a tank full of a dark-blue liquid which was thrown out of the muzzle. One was on the left, one was on the right

Mirii's right forefinger was pressing on her weapon's trigger, as the red-colored Splatterscope rose near her sight level, her left eye closed and her right eye was looking through the scope which was resting on the left woman's head.

BLAM!

An explosion of orange ink spread in her place, as a small Stingray flew up. The other woman immediately turns behind, jumping at the sight of the ink. Her head first turned to her right… then to her left, tracking Grina which was walking towards herself, as her weapon was shooting ink projectiles.

The woman was walking backwards, as her weapon was shooting liquid: ink fell on the liquid, disappearing instantly. Grina gasped, stopping right in front of the liquid. The woman's eyebrows lowered, her smile grew. Her right hand throws a Splat Bomb full of liquid: Grina dived backwards, as a blast of liquid came out in a second!

The woman's eyes were still seeing forward, tracking down Mirii's weapon pointing right on her forehead. Her irises shrunk.

BLAM!

She flew off rapidly, leaving a large spot of orange ink in her previous place.

"Hmpf, you can't do nothing against a superior range." Mirii's weapon lowered. "Not even with such despicable advantage."

"Girl, like that's the reason why everyone hides away from a Charger!" Bars chuckled a bit.

A sound came from his left: the boy turns his head in that direction, as his eyes expanded. Hun's arms were almost covered in dark-blue liquid, same for his face and his clothes. Behind him, footsteps of the same liquid. Slowly, the liquid was moving on his skin…

"Ehm… dude…" His eyebrows rose.

Hun coughed loudly, throwing a minor quantity of dark-blue liquid. Bars' jaw dropped. Grina emerged right near Bars' left side, as her arms wrapped around him.

"Hunry dear… can you answer us?!" She starts trembling.

Mirii's face got paler, as her hands went down almost opening.

Hun kept coughing more and more… puking out a bit of dark-blue liquid. His hands jerkily fell on his face, covering a loud groan. Grina and Bars were slowly walking to their left, with their faces staring down the boy.

His hands were slowly covered by the dark-blue liquid... then the hands fell back down, as his face was now completely dark-blue.

"HUNLEY!" Mirii dashed, as her hands let her weapon fell on the ground.

Suddenly, Bars grabbed the girl with his arms pulling her towards himself: her limbs kept moving in the air.

"HUUUNNLLEEEEYYY!" Her eyes got a bit watery.

Hun coughed loudly, puking dark-blue liquid.

"Phew… I feel a bit better now…" His head slowly turns over the three Inklings. "… but my body is still in pain…"

Their eyes almost pop out. Hun was a bit bending forward, as his head slightly tilted to his right.

"… why those looks…?" He coughed once.

"Hunley… you are really Hunley?!" Mirii went below Bars' arms, walking a bit towards Hun with her hands clasped.

"… why that question, Mirii…?" He sighed loudly, walking a bit towards the girl.

"Bu-but…" Her hands went on her mouth, as her eyebrows were up. "You look just like one of those mutants!"

"… really…?" His hands rose in front of his eyes. "… oh no… I'm slowly turning into one of them…?"

"NO, DON'T SAY THAT!" Mirii's right foot stepped forward, her face was frowning a lot. "You are just not letting yourself suffer from the liquid's attack!"

"… how…?" His arms slowly opened.

Mirii's mouth was a bit open.

"Is he fighting against this liquid? If he could fight such treat, how he would achieve that? Hunley… he doesn't need a weapon, in order to use his ink. Could the solution be…?"

She turned behind, staring at her weapon sitting down. The girl sprints towards the weapon, grabbing it and quickly pointing the scope towards Hun.

"Hunley, don't move." Her right forefinger was pulling the trigger. "Maybe there is still hope."

"… alright…" He coughed twice. "… but what are you"

BLAM!

His head moved a bit backwards.

"… hey… the pain went away for a moment…" Hun sighs loudly.

Mirii's jaw dropped. Her head turns over Bars and Grina, as her eyebrows were down.

"Now I understand!" Her head rose a bit. "Everyone, keep attacking Hunley with ink!"

The two Inklings look at each other, as Grina's arms left Bars while her hands took out her weapon.

"Finally, the stupid liquid's weak spot!" She walks a bit towards Hun.

Her weapon starts shooting ink on the boy, as he keeps tilting a bit in all directions. Bars swings his weapon, as ink blasted on Hun. Mirii's weapon kept hitting the boy in a quick rhythm. Hun puked dark-blue liquid, as his wrist drenched his mouth.

Click click.

"Shoot!" Grina's head turned to the left, as her left iris rest on her left eye's left corner. "Tank is crystal-clear!"

"I think we just made it!" Mirii's weapon lowered down, as she sprints towards Hun.

Hun was still covered in orange ink: his eyes were blinking, staring down the girl which eyebrows were up.

"Oh please, Hunley…" Her mouth was a bit wavy. "Tell me you are cured from that nasty liquid…"

"… I don't have any pains anymore." He smiles. "Thank you, Mirii."

Mirii's smiling mouth opened wide: she jumped towards him, wrapping her arms around him. The boy's cheeks were red, as his right hand was covering her smaller tentacles, behind her neck.
