Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far.
"So…" Mirii's head was up and her eyebrows were a bit down. "… this is the door with the code panel."
"Be careful, Mirii!" Hun frowns, turning left and right, while leaning closer to the girl. "There might be those enemy ninjas you were talking about."
"Let them come to us." Her head turned to the right. "I don't waste my time, looking for cowards."
"Ehm… maybe they are indeed cowards and"
"I'm going to break this box." The ninja was walking in front of the code panel. "Without a panel, the door has no reason to stay closed."
"Wrong." Mirii walks to his right, with her eyes seeing the numbers. "The door will stay close even without the panel… and the only way to open it would be by using brute force."
"I can see your eyes already conceiving the best solution…" His head turned over the girl. "Am I right, Perfection Seeker?"
Mirii's eyes fell on her smartphone, as her right thumb was pressing on the touch screen, which was showing different round images and names below each of them.
"I already have perfection on my side." She snorted. "I was naturally born to become a student of mastery and intelligence."
"I know you have a high rank…" He folds his arms. "But you are not a true queen, like you are claiming to be."
"Hmpf. Having a high rank is a glorified goal… nothing more." Her right thumb kept pressing and her irises were bouncing around. "I don't need others admitting my superiority… I'm the only one who can truly state such claim."
"That would be a little too daring for your position…" His head was looking forward. "You cannot track down invisible ninjas… that's a fact."
"… where did I claimed to be superior at the moment?" Her irises went up. "I cannot state anything wrongful or else not even myself would believe in my own words."
"What are you doing now?" His irises rested on her smartphone.
"I'm waiting." Her head rose. "The app will soon finish its work…"
"We can't wait!" His arms opened. "I want to get that vase"
"Don't you dare sending me orders…" Mirii lowered her head, while frowning. "I'll not let my dignity being stomped by your hastiness…"
Hun walks over Mirii's left side, while frowning and looking down the man.
"I'm not saying this because of selfishness…" He shook his head. "I'm concerned about my team, the only team I can"
Click.
"The door is officially unlocked." Mirii puts her smartphone away. "Your only concern would only be defeating your ex-friends…"
She walks past the man, as her left hand took the handle, pushing it down: the hand pushes forward, as the door tilts to the left. Her eyes were seeing darkness: her right hand went to the right, touching the wall.
Tic.
In the middle of the room, three coral-like cages: each had a Squid inside. Mirii's eyes expanded and her mouth opened.
"Who's there?!" The male Squid in the middle turned towards the girl. "Wait, you are an Inkling!"
"Yippie! Finally someone friendly!" The female Squid to the left was sliding around. "Can't wait to stretch my legs and get out of this dump."
Hun walked on Mirii's right side: his head was turning left and right, while tilted a bit down.
"They are all green… and we are orange!" He turns his head over Mirii. "If I try destroying those cages, I'll splat them by accident."
"Hunley, I ask to please watch the whole situation…" Mirii kept looking at the cages.
"Huh?" He turns forward. "What that would do?" He shrugs.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The cages' top slid off: the three Squids' irises shrunk. They jumped out, turning into their humanoid forms. They were still wearing Hero Suits, without an Ink Tank or a weapon on their hands.
"Ship! You were almost making Squid rings out of me!" The male Agent frowned, while puffs of smoke were coming from his head. "Being careful was so darn hard?!"
"Relax…" The woman on the right was closing her eyes, as a single sweat drop formed on her left side. "He saved us… you should be grateful…"
"Grateful my butt!" He turns over the woman, while moving his right hand around. "I was about to become a turfing dish, Clari!"
"Ha ha ha, forgive his grumpiness!" The woman on the left wrapped her arms around him, while smiling and lowering her eyebrows. "He loves acting all tough, but he's actually a very nice guy!"
"Oh yeah, sure… let's keep torturing Montres with the nice stuff!" He growled, as his irises went to his left, his eyebrows were down and his teeth were gritting.
"In any case." The woman tilted her head to her left, while closing her eyes. "Thanks a bunch for saving us!"
"You are welcome." Mirii rose her head. "Now, I would suggest you three to leave this ship"
"Hold it!" Montres lifted his posture, staring down Mirii. "How about some turfing presentations, first?"
"… I do not speak with trash-talkers like you." Her eyes closed and her face frowned, while lowering her head. "My reputation will be contaminated by your inadequate word use."
"I speak the turf I want!" His right thumb was on his body. "You would better get"
A right hand covered his mouth: his irises turned in that direction, seeing the woman shushing.
"I don't think scaring her will work: pass the speech to me, will ya?" She winks.
The man stood still, looking down the woman. She smiles, turning towards the girl.
"Alright, let's get some presentations out of the way." Her left hand rested on her chest. "Name is Xandra. What's yours?" Her left hand went forward, as her fingers curled, except for the forefinger and thumb, which were stretching.
"Mirii. Mirii Hanache." Her left foot slides forward. "My pleasure."
"Mirii… Kelpshell?!" Clari was bending a bit down, as her fists were together. "But you are a Senior Agent…"
"SHE IS?!" Xandra turned over the woman. "ARE YOU SURE?!"
Mirii's irises shrunk: she starts walking slowly backwards.
"I heard of her… she was on a team who captured the dealers…" Her head turned over Xandra. "She was also responsible for Tonna's ultimate promotion…"
"Really?!" Montres' head was looking at Clari, while his arms were waving up and down. "Ship, no wonder we couldn't find her recently!"
"I met her and Nul, this morning… for some reason, he and she didn't want to talk to me…" She sighs.
"Screw that: it's already big news seeing the Perfection Seeker herself!" She turns her head forward, walking towards the girl. "But why she's here without any gear on? Is the boy near her an Agent too?"
Mirii kept walking behind, same for Hun.
"N-no, I-I'm not an Agent…!" Mirii's head was shaking left and right, while trembling. "I-I'm called Mirii Hanache…!"
"Huh? Hanache?" She turns behind, towards Clari. "Does that last name ring any bell?"
Clari's eyes were looking up.
"Hmm… no…"
"… what if this girl is not THAT Mirii?" Her head turns over Montres.
"I smell bad ship about that." He coughed once. "She was walking backwards…"
"Because I wanted to get out of the room!" Her left feet stomped forward, while frowning.
Sweat was covering her forehead.
"The room… has a very high temperature! I-I cannot breathe at all…!" Her hands were jerkily resting on her throat.
Montres starts frowning: the three Inklings were looking at each other, with the man turning his head left and right. The Agents nodded. Mirii swallows silently, trembling even more.
