HUN, TURN INTO A SQUID!

"Huh?!" Hun's head turned to his left. "Who's talking?!"

TURN INTO A SQUID, DARNIT!

"Yikes! Ok, ok!" Hun nodded twice.

The boy turned into a Squid: a black, metallic material covered him completely with the exception of his eyes. A black, thick glass covered his eyes: he was seeing the city's buildings, as well as a green bar on the top-right corner, with several text scrolling under it for a moment. Three, small Splat Bomb images were showing on the top-left corner.

On the bottom left corner, a square appeared which was showing an Inkling man wearing a pilot suit.

"Took you long enough to not become Squid Omelet instead!" The man was frowning. "Was your head spinning or what?!"

On the bottom right corner, another square appeared… and this time, the square showed Hun in his Squid form.

"A bit, actually…" A sweat drop appears on Hun's left side of his head, as his eyes closed for a moment. "… but what's happening?! Why I'm in midair?!"

"… are you serious…" The man whispered, lowering his eyelids for a short while. "Listen, you are in enemy territory now! Your objective is"

"Wait, wait! I-I don't know how to use this!" Hun's eyes lowered the external sides on the top, as sweat was jumping out from his head. "I just turned into it twice!"

"Let me talk first, then I'll tell you what to do…" The man nodded.

"Bu-but I-I could make a mistake an-and fall down!" Tears were forming on the lower side of Hun's eyes. "I-I don't want to be"

"Would you just shut up for a moment?!" The man frowned a lot. "You cannot fall, not at least right now! I have to explain your objective, before you start diving into utter chaos! You copy that?!"

"Ehm…" Hun's eyes closed. "You said Would you just shut up for a moment?! You cannot fall"

"Not like that!" The man growled. "I meant to say if you understood exactly what I told you earlier!"

"… eh?" Hun's irises shrunk a bit.

"Never mind!" The man snorted, as his head shook. "Now, get this: your objective is to splat the shell out of those Stingrays! Some of them are on land… but many of them are flying in the air!"

"L-like me?!" Hun trembles.

"Their eyes would melt, once they see the IST's newest Soldier Unit: the Flying Squid Unit!" The man smiles, while keeping his eyebrows down. "What you need to know mostly is which kind of Stingrays you have to shoot: take out the flying ones, before tackling their flying ship."

Hun's irises shrunk a lot, as his head became paler.

"N-NO! I-I DON'T WANT TO BE EATEN AGAIN!" Hun trembles a lot. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"That will definitively not happen!" The man bended a bit forward, frowning a bit more. "They are living beings! Who in their sick minds would eat metal?!"

"… a-are you sure of this…?" Hun's eyes blinked twice, as tears formed on his eyes' lower side.

"As sure as them not eating my cap!" The man nodded. "Now, since you know the objective… listen carefully about your skills." The man coughed. "You can move forward by saying Move Hun. You stop by saying the same thing. Tilt in any directions to steer… got that?"

"Ehm… yes?" Hun chuckles a bit.

"Good." The man nodded. "Since you are in enemy territory, you have to activate your weapons: say Weapon Hun."

"… now?" Hun's irises went to his right.

"Yeah. Do it." The man's back rested on his chair's backrest.

"Alright… Weapon Hun!" Hun frowned a bit.

Suddenly, from Hun's sides two small cannons emerged, a small group on each side.

"Did I do that?!" Hun's irises bounced left and right.

"Check the monitor below the Splat Bombs." The man bended forward.

"Oh… ooooh, there they are!" Hun's irises went in his eyes' top-left corner.

Below the Splat Bombs images, there were two groups of cannons.

"To deactivate them, say the same thing again." The man nodded. "To shoot, you say Shoot Hun: it will fire constantly."

"Shoot Hun!" Hun frowned a bit.

The cannons began shooting blue ink projectiles.

"Very well!" The man nodded. "However, you cannot shoot forever: your ink will ran out eventually… which will make you fall down!"

"NO!" Hun trembles. "H-how do I stop it, now?!"

"You say the same thing again, just like with your weapons." The man frowned. "Give it a whirl!"

"Shoot Hun?!" Hun's irises went left and right.

The cannons stopped shooting blue ink projectiles…

"Yes, it worked!" The man smiled, as his eyebrows were a bit down. "Now, if you want to use Splat Bombs you say Splat Bomb Hun. Don't say it though: those three you have are all you got for this mission. Use them only on emergencies!"

"I-I'll try to remember that…" Hun's eyes closed. "Is this all?"

"Pretty much." The man nodded. "You are ready: begin the mission and let's take those Stingrays out!"

"… I wouldn't had minded doing more practice… or even better, not getting involved into this!" Hun frowned a bit. "Well, I guess I have to do it my best… I'm going to protect this city, as much as I can!" Hun's eyes closed for a moment, while keeping his frown. "Go Hun!"

"It's Move Hun!" The man's head turned to his right.

"Oops!" A sweat drop appears on Hun's right side of his head, as his eyes closed. "Sorry! Alright…" Hun frowned a bit. "Move Hun!"

The flying plane began moving forward.

"Can I change the speed?!" Hun's irises shrunk.

"Not gonna bother, because my shift is over… I'll pass the duty to another Agent." The square showed only black. "Bye."

"WAAAIITT!" Hun trembles. "Wh-what was the command to stop?! I-I forgot!"

The square shows an Inkling woman wearing a small, blue military hat: she was smiling.

"I'm Rebecca." Her eyes closed. "Pleased to meet"

"How can I stop this?!" Hun's eyes closed, trembling a bit more.

"Oh… you say Move Hun, I believe." Rebecca nodded.

"Move Hun?!"

The flying plane stopped.

"… phew! That's better!" Hun's eyes opened. "… who are you?"

"I'm Rebecca." She bowed down for a moment. "I'm your guide and assistant for this special mission."

"Oh… well, thank you for helping me out!" Hun's eyes closed. "I'm going to need all the support I can take, so please don't abandon me…"

"Abandon you? I would never do that!" Rebecca's mouth opened. "I promise to not abandon you… however, promise me to listen carefully my words too." She smiles. "If we use teamwork, we will return triumphant!"

Suddenly, another square appeared in between the two squares, showing an Inkling man with goo a bit spread around his face.

"Flying Squid Unit, are you operative?!" The man was yelping a bit.

"Uhm… yes?!" Hun's irises went on the center.

"Come in here, immediately! We can't keep the Stingrays down much longer!" The man's head turned to his right. "Darn it, they are coming!"

The square showed black, shrinking it down until it was not visible anymore.

"You know what to do, Hun." Rebecca nodded. "Go and help your allies: you will find plenty of Stingrays to shoot down too."

Another black square appeared, located below the bar, showing a green Squid in the middle and a green circle, which had the ! symbol on it, located near the top-middle edge. White dots of different sizes were spread around the black square.

"This is your map updated and created by me: move towards the exclamation dot to reach your objective!" The woman nodded. "White dots are the physical obstacles surrounding you… I'll add more of them, if I see newer ones in your path."

"Very well!" Hun frowned a bit. "Anything else?"

"You will eventually find a Stingray symbol on the map…" Her eyes closed. "I'm sure you know what that could possibly mean, right?"

"It means a Stingray is in the area?" Hun's eyes blinked once.

"Precisely!" Rebecca giggles, as her eyes opened. "With this down, you know all the basics of this suit! You can proceed with your mission."

Her square flattened, shrinking out of the screen.

I can still talk to you, without using the cam. This is for letting you see more your surroundings… now let me take off your cam.

Hun's square shrunk, disappearing from the screen.

Good luck, Hun.

"Thank you! Move Hun!"

The flying ship began moving forward, gradually increasing its speed.
