RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!
Mirii jumped on her left, going behind the metallic door: goo flew fast, disappearing on the magenta ink. The man laughed loudly. Her irises were shrunk, as her face went paler and her teeth were gritted.
"If I'm splatted, that might be" Mirii held her breath for a moment, as her eyes squeezed. "Enough! I have Stingrays to splat!"
"YOU… YES, YOU… SQUISHY GIRL!" The man walked forward, while his weapon began rotating the muzzle rapidly and loudly. "OUT COME… NINEPIN… YOU NINEPIN!"
"This brute can't even speak correctly!" She frowned, as her right hand was holding a Splat Bomb. "I wouldn't mind splatting him in one shot…!"
She threw the bomb against the door, as it bounced on it and passed the door and landed on the floor.
BOOM!
RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!
"SQUID… TOWER OURS…" Unknown words came up in the air.
Mirii dived back inside her ink, slowly sliding inside it.
"I cannot proceed, if I don't get rid of this buffoon…" Her eyes popped out, watching the Stingling looking back at her.
"HA, HAAAAAA!" The man opened his smiling mouth wide.
RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!
Mirii's eyes went inside her ink, as goo landed on it: the ink absorbed the goo. Her eyes emerged back: the man's eyebrows went up.
"WHAAAA?!" He took some steps backwards, as he spoke out unknown words.
"… goo cannot attack me, if I'm hiding inside my ink…" Her eyes went inside. "Interesting… … very interesting…"
Quickly, a Splat Bomb jumped out from the ink, landing on the man's feet.
BOOM!
"Ooooh, this baaaad is!" He twisted left and right violently, as his weapon began rotating its muzzle quickly.
"Surrender yourself, you fool!" Mirii's voice was coming from the ink. "I'll not let you get away, if you decide to fight me…"
The man said some unknown words, as his face was frowning.
"… I will take that as a declaration of war." A Splat Bomb came from below the ink.
RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!
"NO FAIR!" The man turns around, pointing his weapon in the same direction. "I… REVENGE… REVENGE GETS YOU!"
The Stingling jumped on his left, as he rushed towards the corridor. Mirii emerged from the ink, as she immediately began firing from her weapon.
"Because of this incredible advantage, I should conquer the floors around me…" Her head rose. "No Stingray would ever dare to face me down… nor picking me from my back."
The girl moved towards the counter: her irises went to her left.
"… I wonder…" Her eyes squeezed a bit. "The CEO said that her husband is working in one of Project Neo's labs… perhaps I could learn such place's location." She smiled. "This is a perfect opportunity for that…! I should search the office more carefully, before activating the alarm! … as well as trying to splat down that Stingray…"
The weapon shot ink projectiles on the counter, on the sofas, near the elevator doors and mostly on the floor. Mirii dived back inside her ink.
"… I wonder how the perpetrator managed to infect the whole plane…?" Some bubbled came up from the same spot Mirii was on. "Were the Stingrays behind the attack? … in such case, they would know the Headquarters' plane used for the mission, thus they would definitively know more about the Headquarters. Judging from the situation, I would never believe they know a thing about the HQ."
Mirii emerged back, as she was seeing the corridor up ahead.
"... right now, there is only one possible reason I can think of..." Her head rose, as she began walking forward. "Only a traitor would manipulate the plane and try to stop the Agents from achieving their mission."
Her eyes closed.
"This couldn't been happened by accident… there must be someone who's collaborating with the Stingrays!"
Her eyes opened, while frowning.
"I must investigate more on this matter and find the responsible, before my plans for tackling Project Neo will be destroyed in a matter of seconds!" She snorted.
A group of Stinglings were standing still on the corridor, each on one's side: they were frowning and grasping their Splattershot-like weapons, pointed at the girl.
"All together now!" The Stingling man on the middle bended forward. "GOO WAVE!"
Their weapons were glowing: Mirii's eyes grew, as she dived inside her ink.
BUUAAA!
A huge wave of goo went over the ink, making it disappear into thin air! Mirii was in her Squid form, resting on the ground.
"NO!" She returned into her humanoid form, dashing behind.
She jumped, turning behind in midair and shooting ink from her weapon.
"Curses! I'm no match against such terrible power!" Her eyes expanded.
She frowned, watching the Stinglings shooting goo and moving forward.
"… no match? Me? Nonsense!" Mirii threw a Splat Bomb against the female Stingling. "Nothing can stop perfection!"
The Stingling retreated, as the bomb exploded in magenta ink.
"I cannot use my power with this weapon… what can I do?!" Sweat covered her face, while standing still. "… I must watch their moves first…"
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
The Stinglings shoot towards the ink, turning around and facing the rest of the corridor.
"… they must know about the ink's special properties… but why I should act sneakily?" Mirii's head rose. "They are at the disadvantage… and they aren't even using their powers as often!" She bended forward, while frowning even more. "It's my chance to proof my perfectionism on those pipsqueaks!"
Mirii shoot the ink, throwing a Splat Bomb with her left hand: the Stinglings rushed away, as the bomb exploded into ink.
"I must pin them down to the wall, before they have the chance to charge their power!" She snorted.
She turned into a Squid, sliding forward and re-emerging, firing once more from her weapon. Mirii returned into the ink, advancing even more.
"GOO WAVE!" The man Stingling frowned, as his weapon began glowing.
"Gah!" Mirii threw a Splat Bomb, before diving back inside her ink.
The man yelled loudly, watching the bomb puffing in front of his feet…
BOOM!
A small Stingray was flying away, with magenta ink resting on his place. The Stinglings screamed, as their faces went paler and her eyes expanded, pointed upwards.
"WE ARE DONE FOR!" Another male Stingling turned behind and ran away. "AAAAH!"
A female Stingling jumped forward, while shooting towards Mirii.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT, STUPID SQUID!" Her face was frowning a lot, as several veins popped out from her forehead, while stepping on the ink.
Mirii's teeth gritted, as she walked backwards while firing with her weapon.
SPLAT!
The woman flew away as a small Stingray, with a giant magenta ink stain in her previous place. Mirii growled, turning her shoulders left and right and staring at each Stingling, which were standing still with their eyes wide.
"DO YOU FOOLS DARE FACING PERFECTION?!" Her teeth gritted, as her eyes squeezed a bit. "I'LL NOT HAVE PITY ON YOU!"
A Stingling woman rose her hands, as her weapon fell down. The other two Stinglings ran away, while covering the ground in goo during their march. Mirii walked towards the woman, as her weapon was pointed back at her: the woman was trembling and her eyebrows were up.
"… you are under arrest." Mirii's head rose.
"N-no, please…" The woman's eyes went a bit watery. "I-I don't want to be tortured… I-I just want to come back home!"
Mirii's eyebrows went down a bit.
"Hmm… I wonder…" Her arms folded. "Kick your weapon towards my direction…"
The woman's right foot kicked her weapon, as it passed the girl.
"… before I will let you away…" Mirii walked forward, stopping in front of the woman and aiming her weapon on her head. "… tell me everything you know about Project Neo!"
The woman swallowed.
"I-I prefer not…" Her head shook. "I-I want to get back home… I-I really want to!" She sniffed loudly.
"I'm afraid I cannot help you… if you refuse to help me." Mirii's head rose. "Please… I need cooperation."
The woman's head shook, with her eyes closed and sweat was jumping out from her head.
"If I talk, I'll be punished by the others!" A tear fell from her closed right eye. "They will… force me to live on a lonely island…"
Mirii's eyes grew.
"… they own an island?" Her irises went to her right, for a moment.
"Aaaah, I shouldn't have told that…" The woman's fists went on her eyes. "… darn it, darn it!" Her eyebrows went down. "Now I'm really screwed…"
Mirii sighed loudly, as her head shook a bit.
"… maybe I should try another strategy…" Her weapon lowered, as her left hand went over her left tentacle, caressing it. "I'm willing to make a deal with you…"
"Wh-why are you not leaving me alone?!" The woman stepped in place, with her fists down and her eyes closed. "I'm crying right in front of your face… have some mercy!"
Mirii growled, as her weapon pointed back at the woman's face: the woman's eyes opened, as they immediately expanded.
"My patience is running dry… talk about the project, or else I'll make you regret your own silence!" Her hands thrusted her weapon, pointing it a bit more closely.
"Aaah!" The woman's eyes squeezed, as more tears fell down from her closed eyes. "I'll talk, I'll talk!" She sobbed. "We are trying to conquer one of their labs!"
…
Mirii's mouth opened wide, as her eyes went a bit lost.
"A lab… here?!" Her irises shrunk. "No… NO!"
