Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"Oceanic Park is located in the west side of Inkopolis." Tonna's right hand turned her laptop towards the other Inklings. "It's a park filled with several lakes of very small dimensions: the water is the Inkling variety, which means no reason to be scared of the park!"
"Who's scared of Oceanic Park, anyway?!" Grina shrugged, as she smiled while her eyebrows went down. "I went there plenty of times, because some scenes needed real water!"
Her eyes closed.
"Sigh, the last season schedule… very, very promising indeed… if I stood even more times in Oceanic Park, maybe I wouldn't even be here, saying all of this to you." She grins, keeping her eyes closed. "Can't hide my wish of living near that park… it keeps on delivering the fun energy I always look for."
"Girl, they do some videogame conventions in that place!" Bars' right fist rubbed his chest, as his smiling mouth rose. "Liiiike, this mission here doesn't sound that bad… maybe we will do find a secret one or somethin'… can't you imagine that ?!" He grins a bit, as his eyes grew a bit wider.
"Would you switch your dreamy visions into reality?" Tonna frowned a bit. "Or do you wish to march at full speed…?"
"Gee, calm down now…" Grina's eyebrows went up, as her arms opened a bit. "There is no reason to show the teeth in front of a peaceful conversation… I mean, aren't we friends?" Her mouth downturned.
"It's already as late as ever… if I don't send you 4 out of this building, they will send ME out of it!" Tonna stands up, as her arms stretched and her hands rested on the desk. "And that would mean you will never stop Project Neo!"
"Project Neo?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit. "Explain yourself: such element might be related to the Master… which in return would involve the entire Shrine." She bended down, while frowning. "Follow this order… don't make me think you are trying to sabotage the Master."
"Mirii, I know what Project Neo is…" Hun frowned, as he turned his head towards the girl.
Mirii's head turned towards the boy.
"It's not good: not only such project is harming this place… but it will harm us as well!" He nodded. "My friends are fighting against it… that's why I'm trusting them, as well as helping them out."
"So, this mission she mentioned…" Mirii folded her arms. "… is related to Project Neo?"
"The situation is much more complicated than that." Tonna sighed. "For now, let's just end the Project Neo talk and conclude the very small briefing." Her eyes closed. "The Headquarters will not grant you the use of any Hero suit, nor any professional vehicles…" Her eyes opened. "Really, this is one of the missions I do get rather envious: you are basically tourists, with no worries to think!"
"You know… why they want us to go there?" Grina shrugged. "If it's so peaceful and safe… what would be the point?"
"That's the thing I kept on asking to myself…" Tonna's head turned towards her laptop, as her eyelids lowered to the middle. "Aside from the fact that not a single mission took place in that park… the park itself is filled with guardians and security cameras. This mission does sound as a waste of time, although you can relax for a bit…"
Her mouth sealed, as her eyes squeezed a bit.
"According to the report… during the giant monster attack, a group of Inklings and Sea Urchins infiltrated inside the park… … apparently, the park owner thinks that this unnamed group left something dangerous inside the park and he wants to run a last check with the Agents. My guess would be that this man is rather paranoid… it would have been enough with the huge security system, the whole park already has."
"Then, how about we go now?" Grina smiled, as her hands clasped. "I can't wait to revisit one of the most beloved place I knew from my childhood."
Mirii's head turned again towards Hun.
"Master, I do wish to visit this park…" She nodded. "I can't stay in this place any longer… I'm getting a headache!" Her right hand rested on her forehead. "Besides, this park might have the elements I'm looking for…"
"Certainly, Mirii!" Hun nodded, while smiling. "First, I want to bring my sister inside another room where I asked a drawer to place another piece of paper on the ground… a paper which only us can see."
He turns his head down-left, staring at his sister.
"Despite the fact that the city and probably even this park we have to visit, doesn't seem to be particularly dangerous… well, I fear there might be some dangerous Demon Squids lurking around."
A sweat drop appears on Hun's right side of his head, as his eyes closed and his smile flattened slightly.
"And they could attack my little sister… sooo, I want to protect her by letting her return inside the Shrine: she still hasn't develop her powers, after all… she can't really defend herself against those Squids!"
Fara frowned a bit.
"'hat's 'ot true, big bro…" She bended a bit forward. "I can kick if it's neede'! I can"
"Ha ha, isn't she adorable?!" Hun shows his teeth, as his right hand petted Fara's head and sweat covered his forehead. "But my dear sister, don't we have some huge work to do, back at the Shrine…?"
His knees bended down, as his hands rested on them while his eyes opened.
"It would be best, if you start up some of it: I'll probably return home all tired… I'm sure to not get myself into panic, if I know there isn't much else to do before the day ends."
Fara sighed as her eyebrows went up and her mouth was kept downturned.
"… alrigh', Hun." Her eyes closed. "Bu' I'm doin' that, just because I don' wan' to see ya in panic."
"Nice!" Hun nodded. "Then… what about everyone else?" He turns towards the others. "Shall we go in this park?"
"Actually…" Mirii's left forefinger pushed her fringe. "Why I was brought here? Is this mission regarding me as well…?"
"That's your alibi, basically." Tonna stands up. "I actually signed you up as Mirii Kelpshell, an Agent who will take the mission together with all the others… what you have to do is just reporting your name and this surname I gave you, to each Squid who asks such thing."
"Mirii… Kelpshell?" Mirii's eyes squeezed. "… Kelpshell…" Her head lowered, as her eyes closed and her right hand fell on her forehead. "… wait… I think I heard that surname, before…"
Tonna's irises shrunk a bit, same for the other Inklings who were all looking at Mirii.
"… but for some reason, I have this vague feeling of myself being called Hanache as a surname." Her head rose back, as her eyes opened and her eyebrows went up. "Have you ever heard of Hanache? Please tell me yes… I-I would hate myself for pronouncing something false!"
"… Mirii…" Hun walks in front of her, as he smiles a bit. "… are you remembering?!"
"… remembering…? …" Mirii's eyes expanded, as her irises shrunk. "Hunley?!"
"You did!" Hun hugged Mirii, as he blushes a lot. "Yes, yes! It's so good to see"
"Master, what's going on…?"
Hun returned behind, as his mouth flattened: Mirii's cheeks were red, as her eyebrows were up.
"… I just said the name Hunley… but what does that mean?!" She bended forward. "I need answers, Master! I need the truth… I-I want to hear that there is nothing wrong with me." Her left hand grabbed her right elbow. "This is not a power I have… it feels something completely unrelated to myself!"
The other Inklings were all silent, staring down at the girl which was turning around.
"… why are you not saying anything?!" She grits her teeth. "Pl-please… say something related to this!" Her eyes squeezed. "Don't make me think that… th-that there is more behind this than I could ever imagine… please! PLEASE!" Her arms stretched behind, as her fists clenched.
Hun sighed, as his head was shaking slowly.
