Alright, send in a review if you are liking the story so far!
"Get back here!" Hun was frowning, dashing towards the woman.
His right foot lifted up in the air.
"Aaaah!" His eyes expanded.
THUMP!
Hun had his back on the floor, as his irises shrunk.
Hunley?!
"M-Mirii?!" His mouth opened, as he stands up.
Hunley, return to me! We must proceed together
"I'm sorry, Mirii…" Hun dashes forward. "… if I don't catch that woman, she will get away! I want to know more about Project Neo!"
I want the same, but we can't act mindlessly: our friends got splatted, so we must stay together
"I-I wanted to stay with you too…" Hun's cheeks blushes. "… but for now, I must capture that woman! Let me try, Mirii!" He nodded. "I have to save this place from the corrupt, evil Squids!"
Hun turned to the right corner, tilting to the right… and impacting on the floor with his right side.
"Ow!" Hun's eyes closed, as his teeth gritted. "Ow ow!"
HUNLEY! Talk to me!
"Oooh…" His back fell on the floor, as his right hand covered his forehead. "… I-I failed… by the time this pain goes away… that woman is already gone too…"
No, you are wrong! As soon as I find a way to get rid of this portable cannon, I'll immediately join you… and together, we will capture that woman and force her to say everything she knows about Project Neo. Hang in there, Hunley: I'll be there sooner than you can imagine!
"Sigh…" His right hand slid on his eyes, covering them.
Mirii's right hand was behind her right earpiece.
"Aga, close the communications with Hunley." Her head rose, watching the box shooting colored objects towards the stairs.
… done.
"Good." Her arms folded. "What can I do to make this cannon stop…?" Her eyes closed. "… shooting at it didn't worked… the projectiles are falling in higher numbers, thus covering almost all the stairs… … should I wait a little longer, before attempting to climb the wall, thus avoiding the cannon altogether?"
Mirii, what do you have in mind?
"Aga, be quiet." Mirii's eyes opened. "I'm in the process of understanding what I'm supposed to do…"
You don't want to know how are your friends?
"Hmm?" Mirii's head lowered. "What about them?"
Bars is fine… Grina got a bit of a stomachache, probably because some of that bad ink got in her mouth.
"Hmpf… I was about to find the solution anyway." Mirii's head shook. "The cannon is still shooting out those projectiles…"
Ignore it.
Mirii's eyes expanded.
"N-no! Hunley is in trouble!" Mirii bended forward. "I must"
Hun will be fine. I'm looking at-WHAT?! WHERE IS HE?!
Mirii's mouth sealed for a moment, as her heart skipped some beats.
… he's not in the radar! The computer is refusing my communication attempts too!
"Nnnngghh! Nooo…" Mirii's right hand pulled her right tentacle, as her eyebrows went up. "I-I should had stop him, when I had the chance…! … Aga…" She sniffed loudly.
I'm sorry, Mirii… for now, you have to reach the basement. If you are down too, Project Neo will truly beat us! Besides, I'm really looking for ending this…
"Ending this…?" Mirii's head rose.
Me and my husband fought this smuggling operation for at least 3 years… seeing all that effort going into waste would be the biggest insult we would ever receive! Please, Mirii… help us…
Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"Is there a reason why you are caring so much about this…?"
… nch! How foolish I was to think you would help us without sticking your nose into our affairs. Listen, the reason will be told later on…
"Hmpf." Mirii's arms folded. "Why are you expecting me to help you, if I'm not even aware of the side I'm in…?"
Wh… seriously, what's up with you?! I helped you and your friends all this time! Don't you think I should be treated with more respect?! STELLA, DON'T PLAY WITH THAT GLOBE!
"I should be the one asking that…" Mirii's right foot slid forward. "If I would ever involve a stranger in a personal matter, I would also told the reasons why I would need the help of this stranger to begin with! I would be transparent, so that the stranger would never get into any sort of trouble!"
Siiigh… Mirii, get to the basement already…
"Stop avoiding my request!" Mirii frowned a lot. "Speak the truth or be ignored!"
Oh, you want to ignore me? Fine!
Mirii's teeth gritted, as some veins popped out from her forehead.
"… Aga?" Mirii's right hand went behind her right earpiece, as her irises went down and right. "Aga?"
Mirii's mouth sealed. Her eyes closed, as she took a silent, deep breath.
"Tsk… good." She walked forward. "With Aga out of the way, I can look for Hunley."
She stopped, watching a opened, wooden door.
"Wait… what if Aga's message is fake?!" Mirii's irises shrunk. "Maybe Hunley is still present inside the left area… unfortunately, I cannot reach the upper floor from the stairs. Maybe the walls isn't as slippery as I…"
Mirii's right hand caressed the wall.
"… useless. Not even a well-timed jump would let me reach the edge." She snorted, as her head rose and her eyebrows went down. "That door, however…"
Mirii turned to her left, watching the wooden door.
"… I'm going to explore that part of the museum." She walked towards the door, pushing it a bit more.
The girl was stepping on the hallway, looking left and right: paintings of different Inklings were hanging on the wall.
"This art… something is bugging me." Mirii's mouth stretched to her right. "I don't know why, but… I feel watched. Are those waves so powerful to literally pass through this Suit's own defenses?!"
Her eyes squeezed a bit. Her pace increased in speed.
"I have to get out of this hallway and fast! The end of it doesn't seem to be"
Hey, you are NOT allowed to run in the hallways!
Mirii gasped, as she turned to her left: her eyes were seeing a painting of an Inkling woman wearing a long, light-yellow dress.
