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


"Girl, like… not to be a butt or anythin', buuutt…" Bars' irises were up, as his hands were grasping the steering wheel. "… can I move up da beast? I can hear the Roller roaring and screaming at all this goo!"

"I allow you to proceed with Roller Mode." Mirii nodded, as her arms folded. "This goo is getting on my nerves… it's ruining Inkopolis' natural image!"

"Then…" Bars' grins, as his right foot pressed the right most pedal. "… let's roll!"

The car began moving forward, as the large paint roller starts rolling in the same direction: the tool passed above the goo, leaving behind an orange trail as large as the whole paint roller. Mirii turned behind, as her eyes were staring at the orange ink: she smiled.

"Looks like the Roller component is as good as I thought." Her eyes closed. "Make sure that all this goo is gone: my Squid Jr. is conceived to deliver outstanding performances… no exceptions!" Her eyes opened, as she returned forward, sitting on her left seat.

"Eh eh!" Bars' grins as his eyes were turning left and right, while pointing at the road covered in goo. "Like, if this is a dream, don't pinch me: this awesomeness can't be done every day!"

"Let me drive, let me drive!" Grina turned to her left, while grinning, as her irises shrunk and her fists were moving up and down quickly. "I can't get such butt-kicking moment as many times as I could wish!"

"Grina, let Bars drive." Mirii' head rose, as her arms folded. "This is not the time to make any seat changes, considering the tight situation the Inkinators are dealing with!"

"Ooooh… that's not fair…!" Grina's shoulders turned to her left, facing Mirii, as her mouth was waving and her eyes were getting watery. "You let others have a place in the action for saving the city… and you don't leave anything to a best friend like me!" She sniffed loudly. "Please, gimme something to doooo…! I-I don't want to be left"

"Grina… because you are sitting on the front-right seat, you have to utilize the Splattershot component for taking away the goo staying on the sidewalk…" Mirii's head lowered, as her eyes closed. "Bars, press the Splattershot mode button: it's located below the Roller one."

"Right on, girl!" Bars' right fist went to his right side, as his right thumb rose up.

His right forefinger pushed the button, which had a Splattershot drawing on it. The back of the car's wing mirrors slowly opened, as a Splattershot weapon came out from each. Above the car's ceiling, a square hole opened as two joysticks came down: both had a red button above the black handle.

"Now…" Mirii's head rose. "… you move your aim with the handle and you hold down the red button to keep shooting." She nodded. "Remember that the left joystick is the left Splattershot and the right one is the other."

Grina's eyes were sparkling, as her smiling mouth opened wide and her hands grasped a joystick each.

"Wow… WOW!" Her thumbs pressed the button.

The two Splattershots began shooting orange-colored ink projectiles. Grina laughed loudly.

"World! Meet Salty Salt on the left and Fresh Squid on the right!" She grins, as her eyebrows went down.

"Whoooaaaa!" Bars' head turned left and right. "Talk about having a Pocket Tank! This is beyond awesome!"

"Bars, push the Charger button located in between the other two buttons…" Mirii's eyebrows went down.

"You got it, girl!" Bars' right forefinger pushed the button, which had a Charger drawing on it.

A rectangular hole opened up on the car's roof, slowly. A Charger went up, pointing forward. Above Mirii's head, a square hole opened as a pair of large glasses were slowly descending along with a square, white box, which had an orange button on it.

Mirii's hands grabbed the glasses, putting them in front of her eyes and latching them on her head's back. Her right hand grabbed the white box, as her right thumb rested on the button. Her right hand moved to her left: the Charger weapon turned in the same direction.

Her right thumb pressed the button, holding it… the right thumb went up, as the Charger released an orange-colored ink projectile, which left a long orange trail behind: it went beyond a small wall, moving towards the bushes.

"The weapon correctly worked as expected." Mirii nodded. "It's all set… time to properly solve this next predicament: the requirements are all met, there is no reason to back away now."

"W-wait, Mirii!" Hun's eyes expanded, as his eyebrows went up and his opening mouth downturned, while bending forward. "You forgot to give me a role for this!"

"Yo-you want to get rid of this goo too?!" Mirii's head turned over Hun, as her mouth opened wide. "There are no more weapons available, Hunley… for now, you have to stay here inside the Squid Jr.: we do not know the whole situation, since"

"Mirii, I can turn into a Squid and take away all that goo!" Hun nodded. "Give me that candy which can change my ink color into orange… I don't want to ruin your progress!"

Mirii's head lowered.

"Hunley… th-the situation is under control, right now." She sighed. "I don't see any need for helping us out like"

"I insist!" Hun frowned a bit. "If I find Stingray, I could splat them down before they have a chance to reach you!"

"I can take them down with the Charger component!" Mirii's head rose back. "It's quick and powerful… so, you don't have to risk your own life in such hasty way: with all those weapons and gadgets at our disposal, all members can safely stay inside this car, protected from almost all menaces."

"And what's this almost part which this machine can't do?!" Hun turned behind for a moment.

"Well… to be honest, I don't know…" Mirii's head turned down and right. "Of course I wish to know all the possible problems… the more I equip the Squid Jr. smartly, the more efficient it can be for any situation! That's why I said that… I can't hide the fact there might be one element or two which"

"This means that my presence is highly justified!" Hun nodded. "Please, Mirii… give me a chance to be part of this. I have a talent which can't be wasted by making me stay inside this car… th-that talent does represent me rather well!" His head lowered. "It's the only thing I'm truly good at…"

Mirii's mouth flattened.

"… I… I want to leave a mark too, Mirii… in this foreign world, that's the only thing I can do nicely…" Hun sniffed silently.

… Hunley…
