"Magnificent job, Hunley!" Two Squid eyes rose from the Orange ink, surrounded by waves on the sides. "Your superb intervention was"
"AH!" Hun stops, while resting on the floor, with his irises moving upwards.
Mirii's irises shrunk, as she slammed against Hun.
"Ow!" Her eyes squeezed. "Wh-what now?!" Her left eye opened slightly.
Mirii returned into her humanoid form, with her sight facing down the ink trail: immediately she turned behind, while grasping her weapon. Her eyes expanded, her mouth opened wide: two grey-colored, liquid creatures with the one on the left resembling an Inkling man and the other one on the right resembling an Inkling woman, were holding a bucket each.
Their eyes were staring down Mirii's face, perfectly still. Both were colored orange, with the back colored in black. A small, rectangular plates of steel was standing on the sides.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Mirii frowned, as her right hand quickly slides on her right tentacle. "Put down those buckets."
"No, we will not…" The creature on the right grasped the bucket's handle, as some liquid drops fell from beneath the fingers. "You will not trick us!"
"Wh-what are you talking about now…?!" Sweat was jumping out from Mirii's head.
"We heard your conversation… you want to eliminate us!" The creature on the left frowned, as some grey liquid was coming out from the mouth. "No excuse will change that!"
The left creature's bucket swung towards the two Inklings, copied by the other one right after. Mirii jumped backwards, as Hun slides to the right: grey liquid landed on the floor and on the top side of the orange ink trail. Bubbles came up from the liquid… raising from the floor as smaller, grey versions of Mirii and Squids!
Mirii's jaw dropped, as her right forefinger was pressing her weapon's trigger. A smaller Mirii on the middle pointed the weapon towards the real one: two smaller Squids began sliding towards the right, while another one was sliding towards the girl.
Mirii turned behind and dashes, while frowning and gritting her teeth, tilting her head to her right together with her irises, as her shoulders rose.
PIUM!
Grey liquid landed on the orange ink, absorbed by it. Mirii twisted backwards, sliding on the orange ink and pointing her weapon towards the smaller Mirii.
BLAM!
Orange ink covered the smaller Mirii, as the grey creature began melting down, dissolving into thin air.
"I didn't expect it to work this well against those smaller creatures!" Mirii's mouth opened a bit. "It makes me wonder, though… are those creatures different from the other ones seen before?"
The taller creatures kept swinging their buckets, while walking backwards: from the landed grey liquid, more smaller Miriis and Squids rose, almost in a checkered manner.
Hun slides from the right side, frowning: he stops, while bending on himself. Three smaller Squids began sliding towards Hun, while a smaller Mirii pointed the weapon towards him and two more of them began marching towards Mirii.
Hun sprung forward, going over the three smaller Squids and a smaller Mirii, while behind a wave of Orange ink. The wave flattered the smaller versions, completely dissolving along with the orange ink.
BLAM!
Orange ink landed on two smaller Squids and a smaller Mirii: they melted down, dissolving completely. The creature on the right swung the bucket, while tilting the head slightly down and staring at the cleaner ground. The creature's hands rose the bucket, as the head pointed directly at it: the eyes stared at the bucket's bottom.
"Out of liquid!" The creature's head turned to the right.
"Retreat!" The creature on the left turned behind.
The creature dashed, while the other one walked backwards for a moment, before turning behind and dashing right behind the left one. Grey liquid footprints were left on the ground, after each creatures' steps.
"After them!" Hun turned towards the creatures.
"AAAH!"
Hun immediately turned behind: Mirii was completely covered in grey liquid. Her weapon was resting down, in front of her feet, as her shoulders were up.
"MIRII!" Hun rose, while assuming his humanoid form and raising his eyebrows.
The grey liquid completely covered Mirii… as she grew in height for a moment, while her face's connotation gradually changes. Hun's mouth opened wide, as he took some steps backwards… suddenly, his ears rose right after a swinging sound.
He turns behind, only to receive grey liquid on his face. The boy yelped, walking backwards and throwing out the grey liquid from his face.
"Bring him to the Clone Lab! I will take"
"Cap'n, we have a problem! Look at the boy!"
"… WHAT?!"
The grey liquid was gradually absorbed… as Hun's eyes blinked twice: his sight tracked down an Inkling man, whose eyebrows were up.
"Uh… aren't you that man who escaped earlier on?!" Hun frowned a lot.
"N-no!" The man walked backwards. "Help! Heeelp!" He turned behind, dashing towards an opened door.
The man went inside the door, pushing the door back and closing it: two clicking sounds came right after. Hun turned his shoulders to the left, watching Squidon holding a bucket, standing on Mirii's left side.
"… so, you are the one who's responsible for this…" He completely turns towards the old man, frowning and bending forward a bit.
"Grrrr…" Squidon's eyes squeezed a bit, while gritting his teeth. "… I knew I should had done more than just being nice."
"Set Mirii free!" Hun frowned even more, while bending forward and shrinking his irises.
"No, you Agents know too much now!" Squidon's head shook. "The Mr. Turf War excuse will not work anymore… the citizens of Sorriso grew too curious about the warehouse!" Squidon took two steps backwards. "You… why you had to come in this warehouse?! Things were proceeding so greatly in here!"
"Well…" Hun's posture lifted, as his frown decreased a bit. "We wanted to cover your port in"
"Oooh, knock it off with that excuse!" Squidon's left hand swung down, while grimacing. "I'm aware you wanted to come in here, stopping my affairs…"
Hun's irises shrunk, as his jaw dropped. The man walked behind Mirii, stopping on her right side.
"… the thing I don't understand is why you are bothering to stop my plans! Your experiments went wrong! You were unable to create intelligent beings… you were the ones who decided to abandon this project in the first place!"
"... ehm…?" Hun's head tilted to his left. "Eh?"
"You fools!" The man snorted. "Those mindless zombies might not know 2 + 2… but they know how to get the job done here in the warehouse! They even appreciate the fun activity of carrying cargos inside the containers… even going inside the containers and continue the job inside the ship! This would had gone smoothly if it wasn't for you, meddling kids!"
His left arm wrapped around Mirii.
"Although, having a smart guide would be even better… in a sense, having 4 Agents covered in liquid might yield more positives than just keeping your mouth shut."
"Wait… what this has to do with Project Neo?!" Sweat was jumping out from Hun's head. "I don't understand…"
The man's mouth flattened.
"… now I see…" The man whispered. "… it's simple: we carry grey liquid into the designated Project Neo's locations, so you could… use the grey liquid as… fuel for your machines."
"Ehm… I don't know what fuel is… but I know that this grey liquid is dangerous!" Hun frowned. "So, I-I'm asking you to stop your actions!"
"Wh-what are you mumbling about?!" The old man tilted slightly backwards. "I said that it's something good for the project! It's an activity started out of my personal will… it might be illegal, but what that would change?! It's still fine!"
"No, it's not!" Hun bended forward, while clenching his fists. "Don't you see that Project Neo causes nothing more than dangers?! It's not good and it will never be!"
The man's eyes expanded, as his irises shrunk.
"… what kind of games are you playing?!" The man frowned.
"I would never do that…" Hun took two steps forward. "… I would never fall this low as you did!" Hun's right forefinger pointed at Squidon. "I'll stop you and Project Neo! No matter what tricks you will pull off!"
"WHAT?!" The man's face went paler, as he took few steps backwards. "You are… against the project?!"
"Release Mirii! Now!" Hun began dashing towards the man.
"ACK!" Squidon turned behind, dashing a bit.
Mirii jumped on her right, standing in front of the boy, as her arms opened wide.
"M-Mirii!" Hun stops, as his eyes grew.
"You will not stop us…" Her head rose. "… have at you."
